Washington City Finance Department

FY 2018-2019 2nd Quarter Budget Status

Each quarter the finance department provides a financial report to the Mayor and Council to apprise them of the budget status of the City. Financial information is communicated using year-to-date totals compared to the annual budget.

2nd Quarter Highlights
The City has experienced a strong first half of the fiscal year. Growth related revenue and consumer spending is the driving force behind the increased revenue. An amendment to the 2019 budget will be brought to the Council for consideration in February to account for anticipated revenue and expenditure changes. In December the Council authorized a five year lease purchase contract with Zions bank to fund the purchase of a 2017 paving compaction roller and 2018 paver for the Streets department and 2019 backyard digger for the Power department . As of the end of the quarter, the majority of projects authorized in the budget with one-time funding have now been completed, including repairs at the Community Center and Covington Mansion, paving the parking lot at City Hall and the Golf Course Clubhouse, the purchase of personal protective equipment for the fire department, and maintenance equipment for the Parks and Golf Course divisions. The Green Spring Park Pickleball Court repair/renovation project is scheduled to begin on February 18, 2019 with an estimated completion date is March 31, 2019.
