Each social service contribution is approved individually by Council as part of the budget process. The Williamson
County and Cities Health District allocation, which is set by population in the City, is included in the base budget
due to the City’s on-going responsibility for this agency. Funding was increased by $7,914 in 2005 due to an

Funding for Social Services has been increased by $25,000 in 2004/05, and will be reviewed for additional
increases in each budget cycle in order to maintain the one percent of General Fund operating budget funding
criteria established in the City’s Fiscal and Budgetary Policy.
