The DeSoto City Council meeting on June 16, 2025, highlighted promising financial trends as the city approaches the halfway mark of its fiscal year. Financial reports presented by city officials revealed that the general fund revenue is performing well, with a year-to-date collection of 84.5%, slightly down from 86% at the same time last year. This positive trend is attributed to strong performances in property taxes, licensing permits, and fines.

In the public utility fund, water and sewer sales are also on track, with total revenue at 60.4%, matching last year's figures. Officials noted that as warmer months approach, revenue from water sales is expected to increase, further boosting the fund's performance.

The sanitation fund reported a revenue collection of 58%, with expenses significantly lower than the previous year at 41.5%. This indicates a healthy balance between income and expenditures, contributing to the fund's sustainability.

Overall, the financial outlook for DeSoto remains strong, with city officials expressing satisfaction with the current revenue streams and expenditure management. As the city continues to monitor its financial health, the council remains optimistic about maintaining this positive trajectory through the remainder of the fiscal year.
