Alamo Heights ISD wants additional campus police following Uvalde, proposes budget increase
Alamo Heights City Council members John Savage, left, and Lynda Billa Burke listen as City Manager Buddy Kuhn, right, talks about the fiscal year 2023 budget during a special meeting July 13, 2022.Alamo Heights Independent School District is getting two new campus officers in the wake of the Uvalde shooting, which is translating to aThe district already had an officer at the high school.
The city council is eyeing a $16.4 million total budget, which consists of an $11.9 million general fund and a $4.5 million utility fund. The general fund is usually referred to as the operating fund for the city and is used to finance day-to-day operations such as fire, police, public works, community development and more. Revenues for this fund come from taxes — mostly property — as well as from licenses and permits, intergovernmental revenue, charges for services, fines, and interest.
Because of the incoming officers, the police department is seeing the largest increase of any city department — a 14 percent bump from this fiscal year. But the school district will be paying back most of what the city pays upfront. Public safety — which includes fire, emergency medical services, police and dispatch — make up 60 percent of the city’s general fund spending. Fire and EMS are slated to receive $3.1 million and police and dispatch will get $3.8 million. Public works comes in next at $2.1 million, or 18 percent of the general fund allocations.
