The report says fiscal 2026 sales-tax collections rose 20.1% from fiscal 2025, while projected current-year commitments total $14.04 million.

The corporation’s projected commitments cover trails, parks, workforce programs, business incentives and public infrastructure in New Braunfels.

The report says June collections were 28.8% higher than a year earlier. Excluding HD Supply revenue, the increase was 11.3%. With all comptroller adjustments removed, the report calculates increases of 29.4% overall and 11.6% without HD Supply.

The report shifts most West Alligator Creek trail spending, the Lefko incentive, the $1.2 million Neue Project and part of Dry Comal Creek floodplain remapping into fiscal 2027. It says the corporation’s commitments commonly span several fiscal years and spending timelines are reassessed regularly.

The city item page identifies the matter as a presentation and discussion on the September treasurer’s report. The EDC agenda schedules that discussion for 5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 15, at City Hall, 550 Landa St.

Readers can inspect the five-year revenue and commitment tables in the treasurer’s report, then compare the figures with our earlier EDC budget coverage and accounting explainer. The next checks are the official meeting history after Tuesday’s discussion and the corporation’s next monthly report.
