FINANCIAL STATEMENTS/BUDGET STATUS
10 City Manager Steve Norwood explained that sales tax returns were up 21
percent but he had cautiously raised the sales revenue in the budget to eight percent.
He noted that franchise fees were up and updated Council on revenues and
expenditures in the general fund. Director of Finance Brady Snellgrove noted a debt
service transfer of $94,000 to the utility fund and $15,000 moved as a part of the
15 James Johnson agreement.
Norwood discussed infiltration problems partially caused by a deteriorating 15
inch water line on Alanis: a $175,000 to $200,000 line replacement. Norwood referred ,.
to charts provided by NTMWD which indicated spikes caused probably by subdivision
20 sewage draining into storm drainage during heavy rain. He noted that if the Wylie
grant request was approved, infiltration could be corrected and postpone the urgency
for a plant expansion.
Norwood also noted that the fleet replacement fund was under budget due to
25 the state contract under which city vehicles were purchased.

choose not to assess an impact fee. Council discussed a possible 12 month freeze
