Colleyville Crime Control and Prevention District (CCCPD)
               The primary goal of the district is to fund public safety and crime control activities
               throughout the city. The district was created by voter approval in 1999, with oversight
               of funds assigned to the board of directors, composed of the City Council. State law
               provides that a district’s life is limited to five years, unless voters continue the district
               by  approval  of  a  referendum.  In  September  2003,  Colleyville  voters  approved
               continuation of the district for an additional 20 years.

               Expected  revenue  from  the  0.5  percent  special  purpose  sales  tax,  use  of  funds
               generated from prior years’ coverage ratio, and related interest income for the CCCPD
               budget is $2,141,183. The budget provides funding for compensation for 12 police
               officers,  vehicle  replacement,  various  minor  capital  items,  specialized  training,
               weapons  replacement,  and  CALEA  accreditations,  with  total  expenditures  of
               $2,135,394 for fiscal year 2020. Important to note is that fiscal year 2020 contains
               no debt service as the debt has been fully paid on the Colleyville Justice Center.

               Colleyville Economic Development Corporation (CEDC)
               Authority for the corporation is provided by state statute as a 4B corporation. The
               0.5 percent sales and use tax approved by the voters in August 1996 has been an
               important  resource  in  our  Capital  Improvement  Program  for  community-related
               facilities. This fund accounts for the use of bond proceeds and sales tax revenues for
               municipal  park  improvements,  the  purchase  of  land  and  equipment  for  additional
               parks, and for the construction of a community center and library. Consistent with
               state law, some funds may be allocated by the board of directors for promotional
               efforts for special events and marketing.

               Expected revenue from the special purpose sales tax and related interest income for
               the fiscal year 2020 is $1,932,400. The CEDC Board meets in August to approve the
               budget. Funding provided by this special sales tax has been allocated to community-
               enhancement initiatives consistent with the authorization of the corporation.
