               Golf Course Fund

               Revenues

               Total revenue for FY 2024-25 is projected at $2,121,000.  This amount is based on a projected
               45,000 rounds of golf played.  The above projected revenue does not include any funds derived
               from gas leases at the golf course.  No fee increases are proposed for FY 2024-25.

               Expenses

               Golf Course Fund expenses are projected at  $2,007,768, which is  a  decrease of $46,105
               (2.24%) below the FY 2023-24 budget.  This decrease is attributable to reductions in supplies
               and  capital  spending  including  the  completion  of  the  Pro  Shop  and  the  Roadrunner  Grille
               renovations  and  the  “winter  kill”  the  course  experienced.    Last  year’s  extended  drought
               combined with the following winter’s cold temperatures caused some fairways and greens to be
               unplayable.   Staff established some temporary  greens, closed sections of  the fairways and
               resodded the greens and fairways.  The “revised” course was playable and playing fees were
               temporarily adjusted during this time.    Some purchases  for the planned Driving Range
               Renovation Project, which is spanning FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25, were delayed.  In addition,
               there have also been outstanding debts to the General Fund and Utility Fund of $452,616 and
               $365,754, respectively, for over 25 years.   This year  will be  the  final  year  of a 4-year
               reimbursement plan which calls  for  transfers  to each fund in the amounts of  $122,616  and
               $95,754, respectively.

               Stormwater Utility Fund

               Stormwater revenue is projected at $610,000.   Expenses are projected at $360,831 and debt
               service of $49,432 with a transfer to the General Fund of $187,015.

               Special Purpose Funds

               Special Purpose Funds are used to account for resources associated with a specific purpose
               and include the Street Maintenance Fund, Court Security Fund,  Court Technology Fund,
               Hotel/Motel Tax Fund, Cable PEG Fee Fund and the Tree Reforestation Fund.  Other Special
               Purpose Funds of the  City include the Crime  Control and Prevention  District Fund and  the
               Municipal Development District Fund.  However, these budgets for these funds are prepared
               and adopted separately from this budget.

               Revenue in the Street  Maintenance Fund is projected at  $860,000.  The  projected revenue,
               added to the projected beginning balance of $332,493 provides $1,192,493 for projects in the
               coming year.   Street  Maintenance  Fund expenditures are projected at $1,130,000  for  the
               reclamation of South Stewart St. and various overlays and maintenance.  The ending balance in
               the Street Maintenance Fund is projected to be $62,493.
