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 of economic related activities. The Little <br />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. 2022 expenses include a housing study ($20,000), <br />trade analysis study ($10,000), and the RCP program ($5,000). <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 />The increased hours (6 hours) for the Recreation Coordinator position is included in this fund to recognize the <br />program revenue that is generated by this position. If this is not sustainable in the future, an alternative funding <br />source will need to be determined. <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. Capital expenditures include a cable rack for <br />$10,000 and monitors for $5,000. <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. The organized trash hauler contract will expire at the end of <br />2021. A new contract is currently under negotiation. <br />73
