several things including payment to Team Cole that would decrease over time and has been a
great relationship for the City by keeping the Mustangs in the community while taking the
burden off of the City staff and decreasing expense. Team Cole was able to bring additional
resources to the table that the City could not provide. The City was approached a few months
ago by Team Cole to end that contract with the stipulation that Team Cole would find a
replacement organization to assume the remaining four years of the contract. The Coastal
Plain League stepped up and is willing to take responsibility of that contract. City Manager
Towarnicki feels that it would be a seamless transition from Team Cole to Coastal Plain
League. Justin Sellers, CPL Commissioner was present to answer questions. He confirmed
that the City would continue to own the Mustangs and CPL would only be managing the team
and the operations. The current goal is to operate the franchise under the contract at hand.

interest in mind. They will continue to work together with other organizations that use the

Projected Fund Balance – Prior to Final Audit
Exclusive of School and Special Revenue funds, actual revenues were
$61,445,172, representing 98.8% of the budget through June 30, 2015.
Recording 12 month of proceeds, Local Sales & Use Taxes collected through June

Overall, Utility revenues averaged 97% of budgeted, and utility expenditures
averaged 85.1%.
Actual expenditures at year-end were $60,092,017, which represents 89.1% of

$2,590,280, of which $1,492,299 was approved at Council’s meeting of September
