OUTCOMES:

As reported at the October Finance, Administration and Communications Committee of the Whole, some financial highlights at the end of September include:

General Fund

                     Revenue collections are over targets by approximately 10% or $15.9 million.

                     One-time sales tax on construction is the revenue driver. Sales tax has exceeded targets by 42.6% or $20.7 million.

                     Property taxes are on target for the year. Property taxes are collected twice per year. The City expects the next collection in November.

                     Utility taxes are below budgeted projections, consistent with past months, due to the purchase of wholesale electricity by a large customer and the vacancy of commercial buildings because of COVID 19.

                     Miscellaneous revenue is showing increased collections due to the sale of investments.

                     Expenditures are below budget by approximately 11.2% or $20.6 million due to the curtailment of non-critical expenditures and the hiring freeze

Other Funds

                     The Recreation Activity Fund is showing losses as expected due to the lack of allowed recreational activity.

                     The utility funds remain on target.

                     Expenditures in the CIP remain low at 42%.
