10.Presentations.
A.Receive the City of Paris Audit Report for fiscal year 2003-2004
Tom Hensel with McClanahan and Holmes presented the Audit Report. He explained
the first couple of statements are the Government Wide Statements and they differ
from the Statements of the Individual Funds by several adjustments. Tom Hensel
informed the Council that the report was geared for submission to the Municipal
Officers’ Financial Organization.
Mr. Hensel specifically addressed the insurance fund which is insurance for
Regular City Council Meeting
February 14, 2005
Page 8
employees. When the fund first started it was noted as an internal service fund. The
way an internal service fund is suppose to work is that an employee would put in a
certain amount of money into that fund on a monthly basis and they would use that
money to pay off the claims. This has always been a problem because there was
never enough going in the fund per employee. Periodically, it gets in a real deficit
position and has to be corrected. It was done in the latter part of May of this year.
What Council did at that time was set up a trust fund - a little bit different format than
one we’ve always had because this one has legal recognition. The Insurance
Department of the State of Texas is interested in it. There is still a deficit in the fund
balance. In May, the general fund kicked in about one and a half million and the
water and sewer fund kicked in a couple of hundred thousand and what that was
suppose to do was make that old fund hold so that we could start out from point zero
in this new trust fund.
There was discussion regarding funds owing money to other funds within the City of
Paris and the report reflecting accounts receivable for the fund that is owed money.
There was further discussion of the City of Paris making payments every month with
borrowed money.
Tom Hensel explained the general fund on page 6. Mr. Hensel stated if you are
making the budget, then it all that works out okay. Mayor Fendley stated it extends
the budget. Councilman Wilson said it does not matter about the budget - you got in
18 million and spent 20 million - that is a 2 million deficit. Councilman Wilson said
the problem was that a budget was passed that started off in the hole 1.7 million
dollars. Tom Hensel said that was right. Councilman Wilson said what was not said
was that they were presented a budget that we are going to have to use nearly 2
million dollars out of your reserve to fund this budget. Therefore, everyone in this
City thought they were passing a balanced budget. Tom Hensel said the City was on
budget - it came out to be what was expected.
Discussion of bond funds, certificates of obligations, restricted cash funds, equity,
and the sinking fund.
Councilman Bell said that under current operations if we do this again this year then
we have 2 more years and this City collapses on itself. Tom Hensel replied that the
City will not have much to spend. Councilman Wilson’s stated his understanding was
that the City had to have so much reserve and if you indebted the City, you had to
make sure you were making this much money and not spending too much. However,
Councilman Wilson now understands that the State has a cover for the bonding
companies and that they can loan you all the money in the world because they can
force you to raise the taxes.

Discussion of the pension fund. Mayor Fendley inquired as to whether anyone had
anything else for Tom.
Councilman Bell-Motion to Accept the Audit Report for fiscal year 2003-2004.
Councilman Poston-second. Motion carried - 7 ayes, 0 nays.
B.Presentation by City Manager regarding status of City finances.
Tony Williams referred the City Council to page 16 of the Audit Report - Statement
of Revenues and Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance for the Governmental
Funds. The revenues were $22,928,420.00 and the total expenditures were
$26,000,000.00 and it clearly shows you that is a deficiency of revenues to expenses
of $3,551,765.00. On page 17, you transferred in from other sources, $1,322,568.00
so that you ended the year down $2,229,197.00. You started the year with a fund
balance of $5,720,370.00 and you ended the year with $3,890,736.00. The term fund
balance is not cash balance, it is not bank balance - it is more on the line of equity,
because there are receivables in that number. In the water and sewer fund which is
the operating account, the payable is in overdraft of $2,397,610.00. The insurance
trust fund is in an overdraft of $688,379.00. The last 3 years you have spent more
than you took in, to the tune of $4,478,546.00. Tony informed the City Council that
the City has depleted its reserves and stated that anyone in any kind of business needs
a reasonable level of reserves. No entity can survive by consistently spending more
than you earn. To correct the problem is fairly simple, you either raise your income
or you reduce your expenses. Tony is going to put a plan together in the next couple
of weeks to reduce expenses and present it to the City Council.

that it is too vague. Mayor Fendley stated the form was changed last year and
Councilman Bell said that the form still isn’t specific enough. Mayor Fendley
suggested that Tony and Human Resources look at bringing this back in an
amendment type form. Further Mayor Fendley suggested that the Council make notes
on the current form as to what changes they would like in it and look at it their next
