OUTCOMES:

The key financial highlights from January 1, 2025, through June 30, 2025, include the following:

 

REVENUE:

 

Total General Fund revenue is 3.0%, or $1.9 million, above target.

  • Property Tax is 2.8%, or $392,000 below target.

 

  • Sales & Use Tax is 20.0% ($2.8 million) above target, driven primarily by growth in wholesale and information industries.

 

  • Utility & Other Taxes are 2.5%, or $153,000, below target.

 

  • Development Permits and Fees are 6.3%, or $490,000, above target.

 

  • Business License Fees are 2.8%, or $136,000, below target.

 

  • Other Revenues are 3.8%, or $658,000, below target.

 

EXPENDITURES:

 

  • Total General Fund and expenditures are 1.1%, or $3.9 million, under target.

 

  • Spend rate for some departments are above/below target:

 

  • Executive Department is 4.9%, or $735,000, below target primarily due to position vacancies and timing of spending one-time projects.

 

  • Planning Department is 5.4%, or $1.6 million, below target primarily due to position vacancies and timing of one-time expenditures.

 

  • Overtime Expenditures: Total overtime expenditures are 10% ($1.2 million) over the expected target. Overages are primarily seen in the Fire department, due to the backfilling of department vacancies to maintain daily staffing levels, and the Police department, due to the review of body-worn camera footage and community outreach.

 

  • Capital Investment Program (CIP): Total expenditures are 13.4%, or $23.0 million, under budget, reflecting the continuation of several major projects, including the Evans Creek Relocation project, Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvements, Downtown Adaptive Signals, Pavement Repairs, MOC Predesign, and ADA Facility Improvements.

 

  • Business Technology Investment Program (BTIP): Total expenditures are 11.7%, or $1.1 million, under budget, reflecting the continuation of major projects, including Workforce Management Phase 2, Dynamics 365, and Tourism Data Software Implementation.
