SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS

Special Revenue Funds consist of the Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD)
Fund, the Drainage Utility Fund, the Street Maintenance Fund, the Donations Fund, the
General Government Escrow Fund, and the Water/Wastewater Escrow Fund.

The CCPD Fund represents revenues and expenditures associated with the additional
half-cent sales tax first approved by the voters in November 1997 to fund a Crime Control
and Prevention District. Voters continued the district for five years in May of 2002. The
district was continued for ten more years in May of 2007 and the rate reduced to three
eighths of one percent. Voters approved the continuation of the tax in May 2017. The
Board of Directors, which consists of the Mayor and Council members, governs the
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 three patrol vehicles. We are projecting revenues of $1,217,770 and
expenditures of $1,300,565. The fund is balanced with $82,795 from the fund surplus.
Capital Outlay for the CCPD Fund totals $177,500.

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 and Environmental Assistant positions. A
service truck, portable storm water meter, and boom arm mower/tractor will be replaced.
The design of Phase 3 and construction of Phase 2 for the East Cement Creek Drainage
project is budgeted. We are projecting revenues of $849,000 and expenditures of
$1,841,660 with a reduction of $992,660 to fund balance.

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 again by voters in 2019. We anticipate revenues of $436,965 and
expenditures of $784,480. The fund is balanced with $347,515 from the fund balance.
Funding is included for 30,000 feet of crack sealing, sidewalk replacement, reconstruction
of Hialeah Park from South Hampshire to Saginaw Boulevard, South Hampshire from
Longhorn Road to Hialeah Park, Arcadia Street from Longhorn to Westcliff Avenue,
Normandy Court, Georgian Road, and Burlington Road.
