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

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.
