GRANT FUND This fund includes various grants received from time to time, as well as funding received from PISD ($128,604) and NLISD ($186,614) for a total of five school resources officers. The largest single revenue accounted for is $235,280 for the auto theft task force. There are also monies for Main Street projects, police funding through a COPS grant (the cost of which will eventually have to be borne by the city), and parks and trail grants. All revenues and expenditures are for specific, special purposes. Use of monies is usually highly restricted. This is a fully self- supporting fund.

EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT FUND This fund is paid solely with surplus unencumbered revenues from previous years. We have included four replacement vehicles ($157,000), an outdoor warning siren ($23,000), and other minor equipment ($35,954) for the police department. A total of $37,000 was included for fully equipping the soon-to-arrive new brush truck to work wildfires. As part of our agreement to purchase this apparatus, we had to agree to support firefighting in other jurisdictions when needed, including sending firefighters to operate the equipment. Another $76,000 was budgeted for two Physio Control defibrillators/monitors in EMS. We are phasing out seven older defibrillators; four have been swapped out to date. Finally, we have included another $96,845 as part of a multi-year migration to upgrade city radios to narrow band. PARIS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION The PEDC is funded through the special 1/4 cent, Type A, sales tax. The corporation's board reviews and recommends an annual budget, which is then approved by the city council. Revenues should be very stable. One notable change in expenditures is the elimination of the rental of the old depot building for $60,000 per year. The council will review this budget with the EDC's director on August 13. SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS The city maintains a number of very small special revenue funds that statutorily must be kept separate and expended on very specific items. All are related to municipal court and the police department. These fees and forfeitures total $156,036, though in any given year actual expenses 33
