Popular Annual Financial Report FY23 / 3
Mayor ’ s Message
Dear Reader ,
Welcome to the City of Arlington ’ s 2023 Popular Annual Financial Report . It is an annual publication summarizing the outstanding work your municipal government has completed this past year and the financial tools it took to accomplish that work . On behalf of my colleagues on the Arlington City Council , I invite you to explore these pages to better understand how your tax dollars and other City revenues have been used to provide the high-quality services our residents expect .
According to WalletHub , Arlington , Texas , ranks as the fifth-most ethnically diverse city in the United States . I place great value on the broad cultural representation within our community and am determined to stamp out hatred , promote unity and embrace fresh perspectives . I strongly believe that doing this will lead to improved livability for all communities within Arlington . Simply put , we are better together .
We are all impacted by how our tax dollars are spent and Fiscal Year 2023 presented new opportunities for The American Dream City to grow and prosper . This annual report shows the many ways we are still meeting our City Council priorities to Support Youth and Families , Leverage Technology , Invest in Our Economy , Champion Great Neighborhoods , Enhance Regional Mobility and Build Unity .
I invite you to read this report and learn for yourself about our accomplishments this past fiscal year and why the future remains so bright here in The American Dream City .
Thank you for being a part of this great city ! Sincerely ,
Jim R . Ross Mayor Jim . Ross @ ArlingtonTX . gov 817.459.6121
