NORTHERN CAMPION TRAIL EXTENSION

The City of Coppell has partnered with Dallas County and the City of Irving to bring an extension of the Campion Trail to Coppell. The project is being funded by Dallas County, designed and managed by the City of Irving. At the conclusion of the project, the portion in Coppell will fall under the City of Coppell maintenance. The construction contract was awarded to DENCO Construction in the amount of $2,505,438.47. The project includes over 2 miles of 12’ wide concrete trail with a bridge crossing Grapevine Creek just west of MacArthur Boulevard. The project will begin at Mockingbird Lane at Belt Line Road and run east shifting south of the Belmont Landing subdivision, cross Grapevine Creek and follow the levee past MacArthur Boulevard.

​​Municipal Court Authority and Jurisdiction

The single most important source of municipal court authority and jurisdiction is the Texas Constitution which gives the state legislature the power to establish courts and their jurisdiction when it sees fit. The legislature exercised this power and first created municipal courts in the Corporation Court Law of 1899. This law has been codified in the Texas Government Code. Municipal courts also look to various other statutes and codes for authority and jurisdiction.

--Provided by the Texas Municipal Courts Education Center

The source of Court of Record Authority is the State of Texas Government Code, Chapter 30, Subchapter L.L.--Coppell. In addition, the following also authorize the Court: Coppell City Code, Chapter 5; 1996 Edition, and Art. 5 Sec. 31 Texas Constitution. ​

    PLANNING FOR PROJECTS AND SERVICES

    As the City of Coppell moves into the future, City staff recognizes the need to be proactive and strategic when it comes to budget planning. Coppell is reaching a state of build-out, and the City's population is not expected to increase exponentially in the coming years. However, the City's population has continued to grow in recent years, and Coppell saw a 3% increase in the number of residents from 2014 to 2018. In order to accommodate this growth and continue to offer the high-level of service that residents expect, the City strategically invests significant funds into projects and initiatives that benefit the whole community. 

    Further, the City of Coppell is transitioning into a sustainment stage. As infrastructure ages, the City must take steps to proactively maintain its assets and improve upon the high standard of living in Coppell. The City has begun to place an increased priority on maintenance and redevelopment. From roadways to sidewalks to streetscapes, City crews are working continuously to maintain public assets to ensure that they continue to be viable into the future. 

    "Our future is wholly depend​ent on our ability to serve the public," said Mike Land, City Manager. "The City's dedicated municipal workforce recognizes that the 'person in the house' is our only reason for existing, and we strive to demonstrate that through our actions and behaviors. The level of service is great today, but our goal is to make it even better tomorrow. Our continued efforts to maintain and improve our overall service delivery and maintenance efforts will enhance Coppell's desirability as a community of choice for existing and potential residents, businesses and visitors." ​

    Budget Planning Process

    ​The City of Coppell uses a rolling five-year planning document to prioritize projects and major expenditures. This document is updated annually, and it serves as a guideline for the upcoming fiscal year budgets. Every project that the City prioritizes has a direct and measurable benefit to the community. Over the past three years, the City has used this document to plan for various projects and services that are funded through the General Fund, various Special Revenue Funds and grants, when available. These projects and services include: ​

    ​​Community Development
    Police Services
    Construction and Roadways
    Water and Sewer Services 
    Fire and Life Saving Services​
    Parks and Recreation 
    Library Services


    ABOUT THE BUDGET: 

    ​​​​​​​​​​The City of Coppell continues to see positive economic indicators in all areas of finance, including the recently reaffirmed AAA bond rating, growth in the tax base and surging sales tax receipts primarily due to thriving distribution centers and business parks. Expenditures, revenues, and reserves have been managed efficiently and proactively for many years, resulting in appropriate fund balances and a strong financial position. 

    "The City of Coppell is in a great financial position," said Mayor Karen Hunt. "City staff continue to do a fantastic job managing our public monies. We are very fortunate to live, work, and play in a city that places a high value on community and quality of life while focusing on maintaining what we have built."

    The City of Coppell works diligently to be fiscally responsible and transparent, and the City continuously receives accolades from outside agencies regarding its financial planning and prudent budgeting practices. The City strongly encourages residents to get involved, attend public meetings and provide feedback on the proposed budget.
