               The  Cable  PEG  Fee  Capital  Projects  fund  was  established  to  account  for  Cable  PEG  fees.
               Chapter 66 of the Texas Utilities Code provides for funds, over-and-above franchise fees, to
               support public, educational, and governmental  (PEG) access facilities to assist cities with
               providing PEG channel capacity.  The funds are collected from an additional one (1%) percent
               of a provider's gross revenues.  Permissible  capital expenditures include all facilities and
               equipment that have a useful life of longer than one (1) year and that are used for PEG access
               facilities to provide or enhance the provisioning of PEG channel capacity, programming, and
               transmissions  for  a  governmental  use.      Projected  revenue  for  FY  2022-23  is  $20,300.
               Typically, there  have been no expenditures for  this  fund but  for  this  budget, $40,000  was
               budgeted for cameras and streaming system in FY 2021-22 to enable on-line broadcasting of
               Council meetings.  However, this equipment has not been purchased because Staff has been
               evaluating and purchasing agenda software which  will  work with the  referenced equipment.
               Therefore, these items have been budgeted for FY 2022-23 for an additional $10,000 (total of
               $50,000).  The ending balance is expected to be $234,103.
