In 2002, voters approved 19 propositions and a revision. Since then, Charter revisions passed in 2010 and 2019. As a Home Rule City, Frisco has more control over establishing its boundaries through Council initiated annexation. Under Home Rule, Frisco has more flexibility to adopt its own rules aside from state legislation.   Our Council-Manager form of government consists of a Mayor, six City Council members elected at-large and a City Manager. Council members’ duties include enacting local legislation, adopting budgets, determining policies and appointing the City Manager, Municipal Judge and City Attorney.   While our City Manager takes care of day-to-day operations, the Mayor and City Council focus on vision for the future. The Mayor facilitates City Council meetings; however, the Mayor does not vote except to break a tie. By Charter, the Mayor is also the official spokesperson for the City Council.   Financial Health Frisco’s Combined budget is $842 million, which includes a General Fund budget of $229.5 million.

Frisco will complete construction on Station 10 by the end of 2024, and Station 11 is expected to be opened by the end of 2025 to meet the growth in the north and western portions of the city.   Innovation In 2008, Frisco designed Situational Awareness for Emergency Response or S.A.F.E.R – the first of its kind in the U.S. The international award-winning program provides first responders real-time data and video when responding to emergencies, specifically calls to school campuses. Frisco’s first responders can view school floor plans, campus photos – taken inside and out – and aerial maps, plus lists of on-site hazardous chemicals, contact information for school administrators and ‘live’ video of hallways and common areas. This innovative tool is available to firefighters and police officers with a touch of a screen or select of a “mouse” from inside their squad cars, fire trucks and ambulances. It allows first responders to begin planning how to handle the emergency even before they arrive at the school. Saving time can mean saving lives and property. While the video capability is currently available only through a partnership with the school district, the City’s first responders also have access to preplanned information on commercial businesses, public facilities and infrastructure. All of this information comes together in one platform so police, fire and EMS are all working from the same data.   Essential Functions and Responsibilities Ability to lead and manage subordinate employees in a major municipal fire department.
