District. The goals of the Crime Control and Prevention District are to increase patrol
officer visibility, enhance crime fighting ability by acquiring new equipment, provide
additional training and updated technology and to reduce the number of juvenile offenders
involved in repeated criminal and/or gang related activity. This fund provides for salaries
and benefits for ten patrol officers, a public services officer, one dispatcher and one half
the salary and benefits of a school resource officer. Funding is provided for the
replacement of four patrol vehicles. We are projecting revenues of $1,115,850 and
expenditures of $1,306,790. The fund is balanced with $190,940 from the fund surplus.
Capital Outlay for the CCPD Fund totals $226,190.
The Drainage Utility Fund was established by the City Council on January 1, 2005 as
an additional revenue source to offset the growing costs of operating the storm drainage
system. These costs include maintenance of the existing system, federal mandates to
control storm water runoff, floodplain management and planning and construction of new
drainage facilities. The drainage utility fee is $5 per month for residential properties. This
fund will continue to pay for the two drainage utility maintenance workers, and one half
the costs of the environmental specialist position. Funding for 50% of a new
Environmental Assistant positon is added to maintain required levels of sampling and
reporting. A service truck will be replaced, as well as, a grappler bucket attachment. The
design of Phases 2 and 3 for the East Cement Creek Drainage project is budgeted
($425,000) with anticipated construction of Phase 2 to begin in FY 2019/2020. We are
anticipating revenues of $806,400 and expenditures of $731,115 with a surplus of
$75,285 added to fund balance. The fund surplus will be used for future drainage
improvements identified in the Drainage Master Plan.
The Street Maintenance Fund was approved on May 12, 2007 by the voters which
imposes a one-eighth of one percent sales and use tax for the maintenance and repair of
existing municipal streets. This Street Maintenance Tax was valid for a four year period
and was continued with voter approval in November of 2011. The tax went into effect in
April 2008 and revenues were received starting in June 2008. The renewal of this tax
was approved by voters in 2015. We anticipate revenues of $416,100 and expenditures
of $859,480. The fund is balanced with $443,380 from the fund surplus. Funding is
included for 30,000 feet of crack sealing, Burlington Road reconstruction ($434,480), and
railroad crossing improvements at Saginaw Boulevard at both Minton and East McLeroy
($45,000). Repairs will be made to Industrial Avenue; reconstruction of Anderson Street
between Saginaw Boulevard and Bluebonnet; spot repairs on East and West McLeroy,
Topeka Drive, Mockingbird Drive, Whistle Stop Drive and Carriage Lane.
