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 vehicles. We are projecting revenues of $1,390,120 and
               expenditures of $1,407,575. The fund is balanced with $17,455 from the fund surplus.
               Capital Outlay for the CCPD Fund totals $247,080.


               The Police Expendable Trust Fund tracks funds that are received through confiscated
               property not involved with a Chapter 59 seizure or asset forfeiture. These funds have
               been awarded to the Police Department by the District Court and will be used for
               equipment, supplies, or training expenses.

               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. The
               construction of Phases 2 and 3 of the East Cement Creek Drainage project is pending
               utility relocation. We are projecting revenues of $820,360 and expenditures of $263,315.
               The estimated $557,045 addition to fund balance will be used for construction of future
               drainage projects.

               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 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 $482,590 and
               expenditures of $280,000. Maintenance projects are behind schedule due to staffing
               shortages. Funding is included for 30,000 feet of crack sealing, and sidewalk
               replacement. Street repairs will be made on Jarvis Lane. Delmar Court, Indian Crest and
               Saddle Trail will be reconstructed.

               The Donations Fund was created in May 2009 to better track funds received through
               water bill donations as well as direct donations to the City for specific purposes. Currently,
              Animal Services, Parks, Library, Beautification, Police, Fire, Senior Center, and the Train
               & Grain Festival have funds available for expenditure. Voluntary donations of $1 are
               collected through the monthly utility bill for Beautification, Library and Parks. We
               anticipate revenues of $295,410 and expenditures of $229,990 with an operating surplus
               of $66,420 that will be used for future authorized expenditures. Ongoing expenses include
               books, data processing, and supplies for the Library; highway mowing, seasonal planting
               and holiday decorations from beautification donations; and supplies for the annual Fire
               Camp, and Easter Egg Hunt. Two summer library pages will continue to be funded with
