Bill > HR695

This resolution congratulates the City of McKinney for receiving six Transparency Stars from the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, a program established in 2016 that recognizes local governments for providing easy access to financial information. The resolution highlights that McKinney was the first city to earn stars in five initial areas (traditional finances, contracts and procurement, economic development, public pensions, and debt obligations) and has now also earned a sixth star for open government and compliance. The city has been honored with the Comptroller's six-star Transparency Trailblazers Award, which recognizes its leadership in financial transparency. The resolution praises McKinney for its comprehensive website that offers detailed information about revenues, expenditures, and taxes, and notes that the city is the county seat of Collin County with award-winning schools, a historic downtown, and a thriving economy. By formally acknowledging McKinney's achievements, the Texas House of Representatives aims to recognize the city's commitment to open government and providing residents with important information about local governance.
