Fiscal Year 2019-2020 1st Qrt 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 in two methods, year-to-date totals compared to the annual budget and year-to-date totals compared to a year-to-date budget (proration adjusts budget amounts linearly (divided by 1/12) based on the current point within the fiscal year being reported).

1st Quarter Highlights

An amendment to the 2020 budget was adopted by Council on August 28, 2019. The amendment increased the total budget by $766,434 from $76,349,205 to $77,115,639 to allow for some budget

corrections, expenditure rollovers from fiscal year 2019, as well as additional one-time

expenses. During the 1st quarter, the master fee schedule was amended to allow for charging a surcharge for payments made with a credit card. With 25% of the fiscal year elapsed, there are no budgetary concerns from the finance department and revenue and expenses are on target for the year.
