• FY2015: The adopted budget increased by $2,001,599 and 11 authorized positions. Significant
increases resulted from the incoming transfers of the Neighborhood Education Group from
Planning and Development, the Senior Assistant to the City Manager from the Capital Projects
Service Fund to function as the Regional Transportation Coordinator, the Assistant Human
Resources Director position from Human Resources, addition of a Public Education Specialist,
and the addition of an Office Assistant II. Other budgetary increases were due to the addition of

associated with the implementation of a 4% citywide salary increase for general employees,
plus an additional 1% payroll increase to address specific classifications with recruitment and
retention challenges.
Over the last fifteen years, the City Manager's Office has experienced a significant amount of
organizational realignments that included the Budget and Research Office, the Emergency
Management Office and the Records and Information Management Office, among others. As their
budgets and structure have fluctuated, there is no correlation to the department's size relative to the
geographic size or population of the City. Salary costs, which represent the majority of the
department's budget, have varied over time from as high as 80% of the budget in FY2006 to as low
as 59% of the budget in FY2009. The department will continue to optimize resource utilization in order
to control costs, increase transparency, and cultivate growth of the City of Fort Worth.
Hopefully you find this information helpful. If you have any questions, please call Susan Alanis,
Assistant City Manger, at 817-392-8180 or Aaron Bovos, Financial Management Services Director, at
