utility costs and professional service fees rate related to the reopening and operation of the
expanded community activities center. An additional contributor is increased purchase costs
imposed by the Trinity River Authority (TRA) for treated water in Enterprise funds.

Debt Service is the third largest expenditure category, totaling $17.5 million, which is 9.8% of total
expenditures. Budgeted expenditures for FY19 increase by $1.4 million as a result of a restructure
and refinancing of existing debt in 2018.

Operating Transfers Out represent the fourth largest expenditure category, totaling $16.5 million,
and represents a decrease of $7.5 million from the previous budget year. The decrease is due in
large part to a one-time transfer of $5 million from the Utility Enterprise fond to the Water &
Sewer CIP fund in FY18.
