Information regarding the nature of revolving funds can be found in Appendix C of this report. A summary of the revolving fund balances can be found on page C-2 in the Brown Book. The spending lim- it proposed for each of the funds is based on a reasonable estimate of the fees and charges likely to be re- ceived, as well as of the expenditures likely to be required. Changes in Authorization Levels from FY2015 The Tree Fund budget is recommended to increase by $20,000 to accelerate tree planting throughout Town pursuant to a joint initiative of the Tree Committee and the Department of Public Works. The Compost Operations Revolving Fund increased by $39,942, or 8.07%, which reflects a $5,311 in- crease in compensation, and a $10,400 increase in operating expenses driven primarily by the cost of screening compost. In addition, debt service is increasing by $23,694 to cover the purchase of a loader and windrow turner. The PEG Access Revolving Fund is driven by an escalator in the Town’s contract with LexMedia, how- ever this year the overall request is $137,000, or 20.42% lower than FY2015. Last year, $200,820 was approved to install communications infrastructure needed for public access programming in Cary Memo- rial Building. This year only $57,000 is requested to install wireless communications in Cary Memorial Building. 18
