Woodcreek Budget Draws on Franchise Fees and Sales Tax
City officials project 240 dollars less from last year in unspecified items while insurance rises by 1000 and employee benefits by 50. Major revenue comes from Pedernales Electric Coop at 19000 and sales tax at 11000 with the GTE franchise fee at 1400 and permit fees at 1500. New building sites are unlikely, limiting future fee income despite past exceedances.
