Departmental Expenditure Summary: <br />At this point the City is seven months or 58.33% through the budget year. It is important to remember <br />that expenditures do not occur equally throughout the year. For example, capital expenditures and <br />association memberships are one time expenditures that if made early in the fiscal year can produce a <br />distorted expenditure percentage. Within the General and Water & Sewer Funds there are three <br />departments whose expenditures are over 58.33% at this time. <br />1. Police-59.42%. The overage amounts to $58,619 and is due to pound supplies, the emergency <br />notification system, confidential funds, IT expenses, and maintenance of building and <br />equipment. <br />2. Cox Field-73.48%. The overage amounts to $25,959 and is due to the grant match payment to <br />TxDot. <br />3. Wastewater Treatment-60.25%. The overage amounts to $40,354 and is due to chemical costs, <br />TCEQ license fees, and pumps & motors maintenance. <br />General comments to the City Council: <br />Over 99% of all of the City operational activity takes place in the General Fund or the Water and <br />Sewer Fund. The other funds are special purpose funds with limited activity and usually with <br />legal restrictions on what their money can be spent on. For that reason, I normally only <br />comment on the activity of the General Fund and Water & Sewer Fund. However, if it were <br />needed, I would make comment on activity in one of the other funds. <br />I 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 />The activity of the Health Department and Paris Economic Development Corporation is reflected <br />in the monthly report. This is a result of the City performing the bookkeeping functions for both <br />of these groups. Both groups have their own managing board. <br />31 <br />
