Where Seagoville Spent Its Capital Dollars
The city’s fiscal year 2025 audit details $15.22 million in capital activity, from a new animal shelter to major road and utility work.
The city’s newest financial audit lays out exactly where capital dollars went during the fiscal year that ended September 30, 2025.
City records show approximately $15.22 million in major capital asset activity.
A large share of that total does not represent money the city itself spent.
More than $7.17 million came from infrastructure contributed by the developer of the Santorini Public Improvement District.
The remaining capital events add up to roughly $8.05 million in direct city projects.
This audit breakdown covers:
- West Simonds Road
- New Animal Shelter
- Police Building
- Malloy Bridge Overlay
- Wastewater Improvements
- Vehicles and Public Safety Equipment

🛣 Simonds Road Led City Projects
The West Simonds Road project was the largest city project outside the Santorini infrastructure contributed by the developer.
The audit recorded $2,966,907 in capital activity for the road.
A separate project fund schedule reported $2,945,371 in capital outlay during the fiscal year.
That same schedule showed an ending fund balance of $120,859.
These two figures come from different sections of the financial report. They should not be added together.
The capital asset section records additions to city assets. The fund schedule tracks the project’s financial activity separately.
City records define the Simonds Road fund as covering:
- Design and construction of the roadway
- Sidewalks and curbs
- Drainage improvements
- Related professional services
The project fund’s balance declined by about $2.87 million during the year as construction spending moved forward.
The audit also reported $33,498 in emergency repairs on Simonds Road through the General Fund.
That amount was identified as a General Fund budget amendment. It is separate from the major capital project activity.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Capital Asset Addition | $2,966,907 |
| Project Fund Capital Outlay | $2,945,371 |
| Ending Project Fund Balance | $120,859 |
| Emergency Repairs (General Fund) | $33,498 |
🐾 New Animal Shelter Added $1.57 Million
Construction of Seagoville’s new animal shelter accounted for $1,574,711 in capital activity during fiscal 2025.
The city’s fiscal 2024 audit had already recorded $1,570,322 for the same project.
Together, the two audits identify about $3.15 million in capital activity connected to the shelter over two fiscal years.

Two Year Total
That two year figure is useful for tracking the project’s financial scale. It should not automatically be treated as a final construction contract price.
Annual audits capture capital activity recognized during each reporting period. That activity can include costs beyond a single building contract.
City bid documents described the shelter as including:
- A metal building with masonry elements
- A standing seam metal roof
- Vinyl coated chain link fencing
- Outdoor animal areas protected by coyote rails
- An enclosed dumpster area
City officials reported in the 2025 audit that construction of the shelter had been completed during the fiscal year.
🚗 Police Building Costs Continued
The audit recorded another $696,097 for construction of the Seagoville Police Department building in fiscal 2025.
That amount does not represent the building’s full cost.
The fiscal 2024 audit had already listed $3,927,190 in construction activity for the same facility.
Together, the two annual reports identify about $4.62 million connected to the building across two fiscal years.
The 2025 amount reflects continued capital activity recognized during the latest reporting period.
The Police Department now lists its physical address as 1185 E. Simonds Road.

Two Year Total
🏙 Malloy Bridge Corridor Receives $915,548 Combined
The city recorded $773,029 for the Malloy Bridge overlay.
The audit identifies the amount as an infrastructure addition.
It does not provide a construction narrative or a cost breakdown.
Those specifics should not be inferred from the financial statement alone.
A separate utility project along the same corridor appears elsewhere in the audit.
The city recorded $142,519 for the East Malloy Bridge sewer relocation.
That amount is listed separately from the roadway overlay figure.
Together, the overlay and the sewer relocation represent $915,548 in capital activity along the Malloy Bridge corridor.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Malloy Bridge Overlay | $773,029 |
| East Malloy Bridge Sewer Relocation | $142,519 |
| Combined Corridor Total | $915,548 |
💧 Utility Improvements Top $1 Million
Four water and wastewater projects accounted for about $1.10 million in major capital activity during fiscal 2025.
| Project | Amount |
|---|---|
| General Wastewater Improvements | $634,686 |
| Ard Road Pump Station Upgrades | $212,103 |
| East Malloy Bridge Sewer Relocation | $142,519 |
| Manhole Improvements | $109,130 |
| Total Utility Capital Activity | $1,098,438 |
The wastewater improvement category was the largest of the four at $634,686.
The audit does not divide that figure into individual locations or contracts. It should be reported as a citywide category unless additional public documents identify its components.
The Ard Road pump station work has been underway for more than one fiscal year.
Seagoville’s fiscal 2024 audit reported about $1.65 million in earlier activity for the same pump station project.
🚗 Vehicles and Equipment Totaled $936,738
Vehicle purchases and public safety equipment represented another $936,738 in fiscal 2025 capital activity.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Two 2024 Ford F250 Crew Cab Trucks | $189,093 |
| Two 2025 Ford Interceptors | $155,657 |
| Two 2024 Ford Interceptors | $121,583 |
| Two 2024 Chevrolet Tahoes | $93,510 |
| One Skeeter Polaris Utility Vehicle | $53,300 |
| One 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 | $45,055 |
| Various Public Safety Equipment | $278,540 |
| Total Vehicles and Equipment | $936,738 |
The four Ford Interceptors cost a combined $277,240.
Adding the two Chevrolet Tahoes brings that group of six vehicles to $370,750.
The city also recorded $278,540 under a general public safety equipment category.
The audit does not itemize that category. It does not show how much went toward police, fire or communications needs.
The financial report also lists the Silverado and the F250 trucks without naming their assigned departments.
They can accurately be described as city fleet purchases.
The audit alone does not support linking them to a specific department.
🏗 Santorini District Was the Largest Single Addition
The largest single item on the audit’s capital list was $7,174,124 in infrastructure contributed by the developer of the Santorini Public Improvement District.
That amount represented about 47 percent of the $15.22 million in major capital events listed in the report.
$7,174,124
Santorini Contribution — 47% of Total Capital Activity
Developer contributed infrastructure can include finished roads, drainage systems and utility lines transferred to a city.
Once accepted, that infrastructure becomes a city asset.
The city may eventually be responsible for maintaining it.
The audit does not treat the $7.17 million as a city construction payment. Separating it from city project spending gives a clearer picture of how Seagoville’s capital position changed during the year.
📊 City Held $86.62 Million in Capital Assets
At the close of the fiscal year, Seagoville reported $59,908,326 in governmental capital assets after depreciation.
That category includes land, buildings and public infrastructure.
The city also held $26,712,585 in net capital assets tied to its business type operations.
Those business type assets are mostly water and sewer systems.
Combined, the two categories reached about $86.62 million.
| Category | Net Capital Assets |
|---|---|
| Governmental Activities | $59,908,326 |
| Business Type Activities (Water and Sewer) | $26,712,585 |
| Combined Total | $86,620,911 |
Governmental capital assets increased by about $12.13 million from the previous fiscal year.
Water and sewer capital assets increased by $85,166 over the same period.
These year over year changes do not match the $15.22 million list of capital events. Annual financial statements also account for depreciation, retired assets and reclassified projects.
Independent auditors issued an unmodified opinion on Seagoville’s financial statements.
That opinion is often called a clean opinion.
It means the statements fairly presented the city’s financial position in all material respects.
The opinion does not evaluate whether any single project was necessary, finished on schedule or completed within budget.
