Departmental Expenditure Summary: <br />At this point the City is seven months or 66.67% 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 66.67% at this time. <br />1. EMS-70.559b. The overage amounts to $87,145 and is primarily due to fuel, medical supplies, <br />and the purchase of a new ambutance. <br />2. Cox Field•78.2996. The overage amounts to $19,907 and is due to the grant match payment ta <br />TxDot. <br />3. General Expenses-67.71%. The overage amounts to $14,844 and is due to full payments to the <br />non-profit agencies allowed for in the budget (except Models of the Maker) and various line <br />items over expended in small amounts. <br />4. Wastewater Treatment-68.5596. The overage amounts to $39,488 and is due to chemical costs, <br />TCEQ license fees, and pumps & motors maintenance. <br />General comments to the City Council: <br />1. Over 9996 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 />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 poini, 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 Health Department and Paris Economic Development Corporation is reflected <br />in the monthly repori. 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 />27 <br />
