TAX  INCREMENT  FINANCING  DISTRICT  (TIF)  Accounts  for  revenues  and  expenditures  to  be  collected  and  used  for  projects
            authorized by the TIF charter that was adopted at it's creation in 1998 and its amendment in 2012. All TIF expenses are funded
            through property taxes collected from all participating taxing entities off of the tax growth within the boundaries of the TIF. In
            this  case,  large  portions  of  the  property  tax  revenues  from  the  City  of  Colleyville,  Grapevine-Colleyville  Independent  School
            District, and the Tarrant County College District collected along the State Highway 26 commercial corridor are captured to be
            used  for  speci ed  improvements  along  that  corridor.  Tarrant  County  and  the  Tarrant  County  Hospital  District  were  prior
            participants in the TIF but met their  nancial obligation threshold in 2012. Because several taxing entities are participants, the
            TIF is considered a component unit of the City, governed by a separate Board of Directors. The TIF is set to expire in 2030. The
            TIF Fund houses many of the projects adopted through the CIP, but does not have an annual operating budget.

            SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS  Accounts  for  the  revenues  and  expenditures  associated  with  a  special  project  or  purpose,  as  all
            special revenue funds are legally restricted for their uses. Three of these funds have annually adopted operating budgets, and
            they are as follows:
                 The Colleyville Economic Development Corporation (CEDC) Fund is paid for through a half-cent sales tax levied on retail
                 sales sourced inside city limits. Expenses here are limited to operations and capital improvements associated with parks,
                 community centers, and the library.
                 Similarly,  the  Colleyville  Crime  Control  and  Prevention  District  (CCCPD)  Fund  is  also  paid  for  through  a  separately
                 authorized half-cent sales tax levied on retail sales sourced inside city limits, and allowable expenses here are limited to
                 operations and capital improvements associated with the Colleyville Police Department.
                 The Hotel Tax Fund is paid for through revenue derived from lodging taxes on hotel rooms inside city limits, and only be
                 used for expenses that promote the tourism industry, including (but not limited to) convention/civic center facilities,
                 general promotional and tourist advertising for the City, and the encouragement, promotion, improvement and
                 application of the arts. The City’s  rst hotel opened in 2017, all revenue derived from the tax had been used on non-
                 recurring expenses relating to special events. However, beginning in  scal year 2021 the City allocated operating costs to
                 this fund as authorized by state law. This includes a signi cant portion of the City’s advertising expenses as well as
                 personnel costs for Colleyville’s Community Relations Specialist and partial personnel costs for the Colleyville Center
                 Manager and its Sales and Event Specialist. Because all or part of these positions are dedicated to advertising the City
                 and bringing guests in from out of town, they meet the state’s tourism requirement for hotel taxes, allowing the City to
                 shift the costs away from the General Fund.

            The following special revenue funds do not contain annual operating costs, but instead are used for nonrecurring supplies,
            contractual, and capital costs. Many of these funds are included on the annually adopted capital improvement plan.
                 Court Technology and Security Funds are paid for through fees added to case convictions through the Colleyville/Keller
                 Municipal Court, and can only be spent on technology and security purposes.
                 Voluntary Library and Voluntary Parks Funds are paid for through citizen-elected contributions added on to their utility
                 bills. Funds here can only pay for improvements related to Colleyville parks and the library.
                 Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Fund is dedicated to long-term replacement of vehicles and technological
                 equipment in the City, and is paid for through annual transfers from the General Fund.
                 Colleyville Tomorrow Fund accounts for proceeds received on gas leases on city-owned property, and may only be used
                 for capital purchases.
                 Similarly, the Parks Tomorrow Fund accounts for proceeds received on gas leases on city-owned parks property, and may
                 only be used for capital purchases.
                 Park Land Dedication Fund accounts for acquisition of land and improvements for new parks sites. Fees collected from
                 platting of new residential and commercial property fund these costs.

            PROPRIETARY FUNDS budgeted on a full accrual basis. Under this method revenues are budgeted in the period when earned
            and expenses are budgeted in the period when they are expected to occur.

            ENTERPRISE FUNDS Accounts for operations that are  nanced in a manner similar to private business enterprises where the
            intent of the governing body is that the costs of providing goods or services be  nanced or recovered through charges to the
            user. The Utility Fund and Drainage Utility Fund are examples of this type of fund. The Utility Fund provides water and sewer
            services and the Drainage Utility Fund provides for maintenance of drainage facilities. There is a legally adopted annual budget
            for each of these funds.

            Both the Utility Fund and Drainage Utility Fund have capital improvement fund components that are budgeted separately. For
            the purposes of the City’s audit, however, the capital and operating components of each are combined.
