HOW THE BUDGET IS STRUCTURED  

The town’s budget has two main components, Governmental Funds, and Proprietary Funds. 

MoneyGovernmental Funds

The Governmental funds include the General Fund, which is funded primarily by property tax and is where most service-related expenditures are charged, including; Town Departmental Budgets which include Fire Department, Police Department, Parks, and Recreation Department, Community Development, Human Resources, Finance, Communications and Marketing, Streets Department, Capital Equipment Replacement Fund, and the Town Managers Office.  The Governmental Funds also include Special Revenue Funds that are funded through sales tax and/or fees, including; Crime Control Police District, Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund, Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone, Street Maintenance Fund, Municipal Court, and Parkland Dedication.  The General Fund is also where we find the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).  These significant capital projects are funded through bond proceeds and excess General Fund reserves.

money 2Proprietary Funds

Proprietary Funds are funds run as a business using revenues generated through the services provided to fund all the expenditures charged to those funds.  Proprietary Funds within Trophy Club include the Drainage Utility Fund and the Trophy Club Park Fund. 

Finally, the Town of Trophy Club has been elected by its citizens to have an Economic Development Corporation (EDC 4B). The EDC 4B is funded through a small percentage of sales tax and is a component unit within the Town’s budget because it has its own board. Its beneficiary can be an entity outside the Town, such as a developer.
