Information <br /> Memorandum <br /> <br />To: Mayor and City Council <br />From: Lori Stich, Assistant Finance Director <br />Date: June 21, 2021 <br />Subject: May 2021 Monthly Financial Report <br /> <br />This report is designed to provide summary information regarding the overall level of revenues and <br />expenditures in the General Fund, the Multipurpose Facility Special Revenue Fund, and the <br />Enterprise Funds. These funds provide an important picture of the city’s financial health. <br /> <br />For the month of May, actual revenues (excluding property taxes and transfers in) and expenditures <br />should run about 42% of the annual budget. It is natural for some of the items to vary from month <br />to month, such as exceeding budget for Supplies but being below budget for Services. This is not <br />considered serious as long as the total expenditure budget amount is not overspent. Significant <br />variances from budget are highlighted below accompanied with a general discussion for the variance. <br /> <br />GENERAL FUND <br /> <br /> Revenues: <br /> Property taxes, our largest revenue source, will be received in July and December. <br /> License & permit collections are about 59% of budget estimates with May collections <br />consisting primarily of liquor licenses and building-related permits. <br /> Charges for services are about 55% of budget estimates with fire contracts, police services <br />and plan check fees making up the majority of May collections. <br /> Transfers in consists of ERMU’s 4% April electric revenues, the remaining transfers in from <br />other funds will be recorded mid-year. <br /> <br />Expenditures: <br /> Total departmental expenditures are about 36% of budget and most departments are within <br />or below budget estimates. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
