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.
