4A Fund The FY25-26 adopted budget, as presented, includes revenues of $8,524,854.  In total,
               93% of the revenues, or $7,993,732, are collected via the .5% sales tax.  The audited FY23-24
               fund balance was $7,992,307.      The  revised fund balance prior to the final audit from
               FY24-25 is expected  to  increase  by  $1,407,165  to  $9,399,472.    This  is  a  change  from  the
               revised budget due to the change in timing of incentives to our business community and an
               increase  in sales tax revenue.  At the end of FY25-26, the projected fund balance reflects a
               decrease  of  $4,604,622, for an ending fund balance of $4,838,700.  Budget estimates project
               fund balance to be at 36.85% at the end of FY25-26.

               The  FY25-26  appropriations  includes  $7,445,000  in  incentives  for  multiple  projects  including  a
               trade  school, a   bread  manufacturing   facility, and  a  plumbing  and  heating  corporate
               headquarters.  The budget includes $3,997,929 for "Transfers Out", which includes payment for
               debt service  for  capital  projects  within the  city  that allow for  the  expansion of the  business
               community.

               4B Fund The FY25-26 adopted budget, as presented, includes revenues of $8,157,339.  In total
               97.9%  of  the  revenues  or  $7,993,732,  are  collected  via  the  .5%  sales  tax.    The  audited
               FY23-24 fund balance was $5,084,986.  The revised fund balance prior to the final audit from
               FY24-25 is expected to increase by $683,777 to $5,768,764.  This is a change from the revised
               budget due to cost saving measures and an increase in sales tax revenues.       At the end of
               FY25-26,  the projected fund balance     reflects a decrease    of $994,710,   for an ending
               fund balance of $4,774,052.  Budget estimates project fund balance to be at 52.16% at the
               end of FY25-26.


               The  FY25-26  appropriations  include  $8,315,470 in  "Transfer  Out",  which  includes  payments
               for debt service for 4B eligible projects such as updating the    Centennial Park playground
               and installing  artificial  turf  at  Chisenhall,  as  well  as  previous  years’  projects.  The  "Transfer
               Out" also includes partial funding of the Park Performance Fund (PPF) which funds certain
               recreation operations including the BRiCk, Athletic Field Maintenance, and Russell Farm.


               Street Maintenance Fund      The  last fiscal year’s budget introduced  a newly established
               Street Maintenance Fund aimed at improving the maintenance and repair of roads within
               the city. Historically, $1,100,000 was allocated annually for street maintenance in the General
               Fund. With the creation of this new fund, the city provided an additional  $1,665,833 in the
               FY24-25  budget  for street maintenance.     The FY25-26    budget continues this enhanced
               commitment to street maintenance  and  incorporates  $1,667,045  into  the  street
               maintenance fund. Several different street maintenance activities will be employed to improve
               street conditions throughout the fiscal year.


               Capital  Improvement  Funds  The  capital  improvement  fund  accounts  for  financial  resources
               to  be used for the  acquisition or construction of major capital facilities. The  budget for
               these projects  is  independent  of  the  operating  budget  and  is  typically  funded  with  bonds,
               grants, fund balance, special restricted revenue or other sources of funding. The table below
               summarizes the capital projects for FY25-26.
