OUTCOMES:

Each month the Finance Department reviews the previous month’s financial performance. Some highlights from the January Monthly Report, include:

General Fund

                     Revenue collections are over targets by approximately 11% or $626 thousand.

                     Sales tax has exceeded targets by approximately 47.2% or $933 thousand. One-time sales tax on construction continues to be the revenue driver at $1.1 million for January.

                     Utility taxes are below budgeted projections by approximately $288 thousand, consistent with past months, due to the purchase of wholesale electricity by a large customer and the vacancy of commercial buildings because of pandemic.

                     Licenses & Permits revenue exceeded targets by $658 thousand and includes both business license permits and development permits.

                     Expenditures are below budget by approximately 9% or $760 thousand.

Other Funds

                     The Recreation Activity Fund has started to receive field rental revenue and recovery discussions have begun.

                     The utility funds are on target.

                     Expenditures in the CIP are low at 1%, due to the accrual of most large expenditures to the prior year.

 

Staff will continue to provide revised financial information to Council as soon as the year-end closing procedures are complete.
