BUDGET AS A WHOLE

The City of McAllen’s budget for FY 2021-2022, including all funds—Governmental (General, Special Revenue, Debt
Service and Capital Projects Funds) and Proprietary (Enterprise and Internal Service Funds), anticipates raising
$509�7M in revenues and transfers in while spending $245�8M for operations, $261�8M for capital expenditures and
$20�3M for debt service, leaving an estimated combined fund balance and working capital of $187�3M�

GENERAL FUND

The General Fund is used to account for resources traditionally associated with the government, which are not required
to be accounted for in another fund.

Revenues and Transfers-In

General Fund revenues and transfers-in are expected to generate $141�2M, a decrease by $7�24M, 4�88% less than
last year’s amended budget� The decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction of the transfer-in from the American
Rescue Plan Fund of $11.6M; which is offset by an increase of $1.6M in Sales Tax, an increase of $1.6M in Property
Tax, and an increase of $1�1M in the transfer-in from the Airport Fund�

As illustrated in the following graph, six major revenue/transfer-in line items account for $129M, which is 91% of
the total�
