OUTCOMES:

Key highlights from the Monthly Financial Report through August 2021 include:

 

General Fund

                     Total revenues are 28.5%, or $17.1 million, above target.

                     Sales tax is 80.2%, or $12.9 million, above target primarily due to the high level of development activity, which has generated $10.5 million in one-time construction sales tax through August 2021.

                     Utility taxes are 0.3%, or $23,000, below target.

                     License & permit fees are 28.3%, or $2.3 million, above target primarily due to the high level of development activity.

                     Intergovernmental revenues are 25.0%, or $2.6 million, above target primarily due to the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) allocation to the City.

                     Total expenditures are 16.3%, or $16.9 million, below target primarily due to position vacancies, the timing of one-time expenditures, and the budget adjustments adopted by ordinance on August 17, 2021 that impact 2022 or beyond (e.g., $5.0 million in ARPA funding won’t be spent until 2022, and most of the Police body-worn camera program funding is reserved for 2023-2025).

 

Other Funds

                     Recreation Activity Fund:  Total revenues are 24.7%, or $209,000, above target primarily due to summer camps, field rentals, and donations.

                     Water/Wastewater M&O Fund:  Total revenues are 3.6%, or $873,000, more than total expenditures.  In particular, commercial water consumption is 10.2% above target, but is still well below the historical average prior to the pandemic.

                     Capital Investment Program:  Total expenditures are 23.3% of budget at the 33.3% point of the biennium.
