SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS <br />Overview <br />Special revenue funds are used to account for revenue derived from specific revenue sources that are legally <br />restricted or committed to expenditures for specific purposes. The City of Little Canada has four Special <br />Revenue funds: <br />•Economic Development Fund (Fund 105) <br />•Parks & Recreation Fund (Fund 201) <br />•Cable TV Fund (Fund 202) <br />•Recycling/Trash Fund (Fund 203) <br />Economic Development Fund: <br />This special revenue fund accounts for the amounts received and spent on economic related activities. The <br />Little Canada Economic Development Authority (EDA) is a legally separate entity related to provide financing for <br />economic development within the City of Little Canada. The governing board of the EDA is appointed by the city <br />Council, and is substantially the same as the City Council. <br />Parks & Recreation Fund: <br />The Parks & Recreation Fund is used to account for amounts received and the related expenditures for the City’s <br />parks and recreational activities. <br />Cable TV Fund: <br />This Special Revenue fund accounts for revenue and expenditures related to cable TV, internet, and other forms <br />of communication. Revenue for this fund comes primarily from cable franchise fees. These cable franchise fees <br />have traditionally been used for expenses in the Cable TV Fund but staff will continue to identify other <br />appropriate expenditures that may be funded with the cable franchise fees. The City will continue to determine <br />the impact of the recent FCC Cable Franchising Order on the franchise fees. <br />Council Chamber upgrades with a switcher have been added to the 2020 Budget. $10,825 has been included for <br />a switcher and $19,750 has been included for upgrades. <br />Recycling/Trash Fund: <br />This Special Revenue fund accounts for revenue and expenditures related to the operation of the City’s <br />organized trash and recycling collection program. <br />60
