question
Budget
Does the FY2027 patrol line ($2,242,660) cover the renewed Precinct 5 agreement, and if not, when will the budget be amended?
Good practice: amend the budget when a major contract changes; members budget their own shares from the Agency's figures
The board action behind it
2026-08-04: Deferred action on the proposed amended operating budget for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2027
What else happened at that meeting
The Board approved the bookkeeper's report and the quarterly investment report for the period ended May 31, 2026, and deferred action on a proposed amendment to the fiscal year 2027 operating budget. It approved $3,000.00, plus up to $500.00 for miscellaneous expenses, to sponsor National Night Out, and, by a 4-1 vote, a $600.00 donation to Precinct 5 for Halloween candy. By a 4-0 vote with one abstention, it allowed Harris County MUD No. 419 to use the Agency's name if it holds a holiday parade. The Board also agreed to send residents a clarification of a CenterPoint Energy notice and to start a 'Fats, Oils & Grease' education campaign.Who's involved
Municipal Accounts & Consulting, L.P. (Agency bookkeeper and investment officers; also bookkeeper to every member MUD)
Why the board approved it
Recorded: “Shares are 'fixed by contract' and actual revenues vary as costs are back-charged, so the Board deferred the amendment (p.3).”
Deferral leaves the adopted FY2027 budget in place while the patrol contract renewal (approved Sept. 1) is larger than budgeted.
