Special Revenues Funds

               The Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue resources (other than
               major  capital projects)  that are legally  restricted  to  expenditures for specified purposes. These  funds
               include Hotel/Motel Tax, Mansfield Park Facilities Development Corporation (MPFDC), and Mansfield
               Economic Development Corporation (MEDC).

               Debt Service Funds

               The  Debt  Service  Funds  include  the  General  Debt  Service  Fund,  Water  &  Sewer,  Environmental
               Services, MPFDC and MEDC.  These funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for and
               the payment of principal and interest on general long-term debt and revenue bond debt.  The primary
               sources of revenues are ad valorem taxes which are levied by the City for the General Debt Service Fund,
               sales tax for the MPFDC and MEDC Debt Service Funds, and user fees for the Water & Sewer Fund and
               Environmental Services Fund.

               Capital Projects Funds

               The Capital Projects Funds account for the financial resources to be used for the acquisition of capital
               facilities other than those recorded in Proprietary Funds.  The Capital Projects Funds are used to account
               for the acquisitions of capital facilities financed from general obligation bond proceeds or certificate of
               obligation proceeds,  or  transfers  from other funds.   The City's Capital Projects Funds consist of  the
               following: Street Improvements, Utility Improvements, Drainage Improvements, Building Construction,
               MPFDC Construction, MEDC Construction, and Equipment Replacement.

               TIRZ (Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone)

               The Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone is a specific fund designated to capture the tax increment in a
               defined geographic zone. The tax increment is to pay for the public improvements specific to the zone or
               area defined by ordinance. Any increase in value or property value increment may be used to pay for the
               debt for these public improvements or be used to reimburse the developer for the public improvements
               paid for by the developer on behalf of the City.

               PROPRIETARY FUND TYPES:

               Enterprise Funds

               The Enterprise Funds are  used  to account  for operations that are  financed  and operated  in a  manner
               similar to private business enterprises where the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing
               goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis are financed through user charges.  The
               City's Enterprise Funds are the Water & Sewer Fund and Environmental Services Fund.
