state fixes the computer glitches. More importantly, the City experienced reduced
<br /> taxable sales in vehicles, business and industry, and general consumer goods
<br /> transactions that resulted in $900,000 reduced sales tax revenues. Compared to FY
<br /> 2016/17 vehicle sales are down 10 percent, business and industry sales are down 22
<br /> percent, while general consumer goods sales are down 7 percent.
<br /> Development Services fee revenues increased by $854,909 or 15 percent as a result of
<br /> additional building permits issued during the second half of FY 2017/18 than staff
<br /> anticipated during the mid-year budget review.
<br /> Hotel Tax and Business License revenues combined exceeded budget by $361,817 as
<br /> a result of the economy growing stronger than anticipated. Recreation Fees increased
<br /> by $777,228 or 17.6 percent due to increased demand for Recreation programs as well
<br /> as a new practice of recording revenue received in FY 2016/17 for classes held in July
<br /> or August of 2017 to FY 2017/182 that resulted in approximately $467,000 additional
<br /> Recreation revenues booked to FY 2017/18. Taking out that $467,000, Recreation's
<br /> revenues increased by 3 percent from the FY 2017/18 Mid-Year budget. Due to the
<br /> complexity and effort required, the Recreation and Library Department discontinued the
<br /> practice of recording unearned revenues received in FY 2017/18 to FY 2018/19.
<br /> General Fund Expenditures. Actual General Fund expenditures incurred were less
<br /> than the MidYear Budget by $3.6 million or 3.3 percent. Table 3 shows the major
<br /> expenditure categories with a comparison of MidYear Budget versus Actual
<br /> Expenditures and the variance to the MidYear Budget. The $1.1 million variance in
<br /> Personnel costs is primarily related to additional vacancies than anticipated during the
<br /> midyear budget review. The $2.2 million savings in Materials, Supplies, & Services is
<br /> the result of (1) not using approximately $300,000 of the City's General Fund
<br /> contingency, (2) $1.6 million not spent for various contractual services, and (3)
<br /> approximately $300,000 from using less water and sewer services than anticipated. The
<br /> remaining expenditure savings of approximately $300,000 include savings in: (1) travel
<br /> and training, (2) fuel, and (3) equipment purchases.
