During FY 2017-18, amendments increased the initial $492.0 million adopted budget to $670.1 million. The table below compares the FY 2017-18 adopted and amended budget with the FY 2018-19 proposed budget. Fiscal Year and Budget General Enterprise Total FY 2017-18 $148,489,744 $343,565,794 $492,055,538 Adopted FY 2017-18 320,931,790 349,210,464 670,142,254 Amended FY 2018-19 420,377,152 377,646,036 798,023,188 Proposed FY 2019-20 $396,012,859 $432,625,926 $828,638,785 Planned GENERAL PURPOSE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM The General Purpose Capital Improvement Program (CIP) provides for improvements to and/or construction of the City’s street system, parks and recreational facilities, libraries, police and fire protection facilities, cultural art facilities, flood protection and storm drainage system, other City-owned facilities, and various economic initiatives. General obligation bonds are the primary mechanism for financing these capital improvements. Since FY 2010-11, commercial paper has been used to interim finance capital improvement projects. The commercial paper is refinanced and retired with general obligation bonds approved by voters in 2006 and 2012. ENTERPRISE FUND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM The CIP for the enterprise departments consists of improvements to and/or construction of water and wastewater systems, venues for convention activities, and airport facilities. These projects are funded primarily through the transfer of enterprise revenues and the issuance of debt such as commercial paper and revenue bonds. FY 2018-19 CAPITAL BUDGET PROCESS The FY 2018-19 CIP budget was developed according to the same schedule as the City’s operating funds. The foundation of the annual General Purpose CIP budget is the 2006, 2012, and 2017 General Obligation Bond Programs. The development of these bond programs included the update of a citywide needs inventory, resident input meetings, analysis of financial and implementation capacity, City Council workshops and amendments, and public hearings. 387 FY 2018-19 CAPITAL BUDGET BOND PROGRAM On November 7, 2017, Dallas voters approved the $1.05 billion 2017 Capital Bond Program. The program’s 10 propositions and five-year budget are listed below: Prop.

Almost every new capital improvement entails additional ongoing expenses for routine operation, repair, and maintenance that must be incorporated into the operating budget. Sometimes new capital facilities require the addition of new positions, such as when a new branch library or recreation center is opened. Existing City facilities and equipment that were once state-of- the-art require rehabilitation, renovation, or upgrades to accommodate new uses or address safety and structural improvements. Older facilities usually involve higher maintenance and repair costs as well. The operating budget may also include pay as you go funding for capital projects, grant-matching funds, and lease-purchase capital expenses. Operating costs are carefully considered in deciding which projects move forward in the CIP, because it is not possible for the City to fund concurrently multiple large-scale projects with significant operating budget impacts. Accordingly, implementation timetables are developed to stagger projects over time. 388 FY 2018-19 CAPITAL BUDGET HOW TO READ THE CAPITAL BUDGET The Capital Improvement Budget portion of this document is composed of the following sections: Citywide Summaries – Provides tables and charts highlighting the City’s priorities for program funding in the upcoming fiscal year. Capital Program Sections – Provides information by capital program, service, and project.

Project detail is displayed for Council district, project budget, amount expended to date, remaining appropriations, and proposed new appropriations for the upcoming budget year and future years.

  • Dallas Arts & Cultural Facility Opening Guidelines
    DALLAS ARTS & CULTURAL FACILITY OPENING GUIDELINES Updated July 23, 2020 As Texas works to reopen from its COVID-19 closures, members of the Dallas nonprofit arts and cultural community have created guidelines to resume operations once authorized to do so. The standards capture overarching safety principles and risk mitigation practices in our industries that will guide the policies and strategies unique to each organization’s art form, audiences, artists, and venues. This is a living document. We will regularly assess the evolving status of the pandemic in North Texas and will, in alignment with the latest scientific and medical recommendations, make changes accordingly. These guidelines have been reviewed by Dr. Trish Perl, Chief, Division of Infectious Diseases at UT Southwestern Medical Center and her recommendations have been incorporated. Background: Arts and culture define the identity of Dallas. It's an industry which, before COVID-19, had an annual economic impact of close to $1B supporting 33,000 jobs. Each year, the economic impact generated by these small businesses produce more than $45M in local tax revenues.1 Our diverse, growing cultural community has supported our reputation as a creative, vibrant city helping to attract talent, jobs, and corporate relocations to Dallas. They create economic, cultural, tourism, and quality-of-life ripple effects touching every corner of our city. To resume operations, we are adopting reasonable measures as a roadmap to reduce risk moving forward while providing a safe, welcoming, and respectful patron experience. Guiding Principles for Reopening to the Public: Each organization will determine risk mitigation factors for external and internal conditions that will allow for its reopening and ongoing specific operating procedures.

  • Macedonia Film Premiere
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: July 8, 2019 Ramona Logan (214) 871-2376 Ext. 411 (214) 882-2451 cell [email protected] FREE Dallas Viewing of Cultural Exchange Film between DBDT Dancers, Macedonian Filmmakers, and Romani Musicians Dallas, TX. – Dallas Black Dance Theatre (DBDT) hosts the Dallas premiere of a creative documentary about African American history and dance in Dallas and Romani heritage and music in North Macedonia. The medium-length documentary, The Way of Clave, will premiere at 1:00 pm and 6:00 pm at Moody Performance Hall, 2520 Flora Street, Dallas, TX. 75201. DBDT dancers will take part in a Q&A following both showings. The 1:00 pm showing will include a live synchronous Q&A with participants in North Macedonia on screen. The documentary is the culmination of an eight-month cultural exchange Dallas Black Dance Theatre facilitated with Association MakeDox, a filmmaking nonprofit in the Republic of North Macedonia. All 13 DBDT dancers participated in the program with 12 Macedonian filmmakers and Romani musicians. Together, they learned about African American history and dance and Macedonian and Romani heritage and music. The dancers and musicians preserved and interpreted this heritage in site-specific performances in both countries. Filmmakers recorded their creativity and interactions in both countries, resulting in the 40-minute creative documentary. Funding for this cultural exchange project was provided by Communities Connecting HeritageSM (CCH), a program sponsored by the U.S. Department of State with funding provided by the U.S. Government and administered by World Learning. Dallas Black Dance Theatre was among five American cultural and educational organizations to be paired with five international cultural and educational organizations for the CCH exchange program.
