Information <br /> Memorandum <br /> <br />To: Mayor and City Council <br />From: Lori Stich, Assistant Finance Director <br />Date: May 17, 2021 <br />Subject: April 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 April, actual revenues (excluding property taxes and transfers in) and expenditures <br />should run about 33% 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 36% of budget estimates consisting primarily of <br />building-related permits and rental licenses. <br /> Charges for services are about 32% of budget estimates with plan check fees, fire contracts <br />and recreation fees making up the majority of April collections. <br /> Transfers in consists of ERMU’s 4% March electric revenues, the remaining transfers in <br />from other funds will be recorded mid-year. <br /> <br />Expenditures: <br /> Total departmental expenditures are about 29% of budget and most departments are within <br />or below budget estimates. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
