General Fund - July 2020 (See attachment)

 

Revenue Variances (+/- 10% of 58% target)

  • Special assessments is a negative amount due to the payments to Republic Services for delinquent garbage assessments.  Similar to last year, this account will be negative until we receive our second half tax payments.
  • Intergovernmental revenues exceed the budgeted target as a result of Federal Cares Act Relief Funding.
  • Charges for services are below budget due to the Community Center/Ice Arena/SandVenture closures.
  • Miscellaneous revenues are ahead as a result of investment income.

 

Expenditures Variances (+/- 10% of 58% target)

  • In total, departmental expenditures are within the normal range and similar to last year's percentage through July.
  • Finance expenditures are currently exceeding the targeted amount as a result of audit and assessing contract expenses occurring at the beginning of the year.
  • Recreational expenditures are down as a result of COVID related programming reductions.

 

Community Center/Ice Arena/Sand Venture - July 2020 (See attachment)

 

SandVenture - Will not open in 2020.

 

Community Center/Ice Arena - Revenues are behind in terms of budget targets and comparison to the previous year, primarily related to operations being closed and impacted by COVID-19.
