Again, these are preliminary numbers and subject to change as we move through the year <br />end process for the audit. The cash balances are not something that will change and we ended up <br />better than anticipated, with a total increase of $1,420,183.96 for the year. (The 2008 increase <br />was $1,085,500.68) <br />Water <br />Water sales ended up being over budget by $165,000. The sales picked up a little in the fall and <br />made a nice finish for the year. The interest revenue is over budget, not because of better interest <br />rates, but because of the bond refunding amounts that are in escrow and earning a return. <br />Connect Fees were under budget, as has been mentioned throughout the year. All in all, total <br />revenues were over budget by $115,000. <br />Expenses in total are under budget by $42,000. Expense categories of the preliminary numbers <br />that are under budget are: <br />Pumping expense is under budget due to well maintenance that was projected and <br />then did not need to happen. This may increase some as the year end work orders are <br />finalized. <br />Distribution expense is under budget, again to some maintenance items that <br />didn't materialize (and may be impacted by work orders as well.) This line item is <br />decreased largely due to transportation expenses that had been shared with the electric <br />department incorrectly, resulting in a favorable adjustment for the water department. <br />Administration and General -the year end accrual for payroll is included in this <br />line item and will be redistributed as the year end process is completed. Legal expenses <br />were significantly over budget. They were out of the ordinary legal costs, but necessary <br />for this year. <br />As stated above, these are preliminary numbers and subject to change as we move through the <br />year end process for the audit. The cash balances for water also ended up better than anticipated, <br />with a total increase of $596,360.64 for the year. (2008 was a decrease of -$130,752.81. Please <br />remember that Well #9 was constructed and paid for out of reserves in 2008.) <br />~~ <br />
