REPORT NARRATIVE:
As part of the City Council’s expectation to maintain a high level of transparency and to be responsible stewards of public funds, attached are the Monthly Financial and Investment Reports for the ten months ended April 30, 2016 or 83% of the year completed. A Year-to-Date Revenue and Expense Summary is included on the first page. Overall, the City received 80% of the budgeted revenues for all funds. The amount received year to date for all funds is approximately $11.9 million or 16% higher than prior year at this time. Removing the $8.1 million increase in Capital Project and Special Revenue Funds, the increase was primarily led by the Water and Sewer development impact fee of $2.4 million and an overall increase in General Fund revenues of $0.2 million compared to prior year at this time.
