1. City Council -84.40%. The overage amounts to $10,739 and is due to setup of the Mayor and <br />Mayor Pro Tem offices, the ordinance codification, insurance, and election expenses. <br />2. Public Works Adm -75.94%. The overage amounts to $2,110 and is due to credit card service <br />fees. <br />3. EMS- 83.33%. The overage amounts to $253,715 and is due to the purchase of anew <br />ambulance, maintenance, salaries, uniforms, insurance, utilities, and training. <br />4. General Expenses- 92.44%. The overage amounts to $299,400 and is due mostly to the quarterly <br />payment of hotel tax to the Chamber, payments to the Lamar County Appraisal District, and <br />payments to the non-profit agencies. <br />General comments to the City Council: <br />1. Over 99% of all of the City operational activity takes place in the General Fund, the Water & <br />Sewer Fund, or the Sanitation Fund. The other funds are special purpose funds with limited <br />activity and usually with legal restrictions on what their money can be spent on. For that reason, <br />normally only comment on the activity of the General Fund, Water & Sewer Fund, and the <br />Sanitation Fund. However, if circumstances merited it, I would make comment on activity in one <br />of the other funds. <br />2. 1 try to anticipate questions you might have about the report and comment on those points. <br />After you receive your packet and review the monthly report, if you have questions about the <br />report, please let the Manager know (or me if you can't reach the Manager) before the Council <br />meeting if possible in case I have to research the answer to your question. That does not <br />prevent you from asking the question at the meeting if you wish to make a point, but it does <br />help prevent questions coming up that I can't answer on the spot and possibly delaying the <br />Council in making a decision. <br />3. The activity of the Paris Economic Development Corporation is reflected in the monthly report. <br />This is a result of the City performing the bookkeeping functions for this agency. PEDC has its <br />own managing board. <br />
