Table 3. General Fund Revenues — Amended Budget vs. Actual <br />Property Tax revenues are the largest revenue source for the General Fund, accounting <br />for approximately 62 percent of total revenues. In FY 2020/21 actual property tax <br />collections including all categories of property related taxes were $300,233 more than <br />staff's estimate of $77.4 million in the midyear budget. <br />Sales Tax revenue is the second largest revenue source for the General Fund, <br />accounting for approximately 17 percent of the total revenues. FY 2020/21 actual sales <br />tax collections were $1.9 million or nine percent more than staffs estimate of $20 million <br />in the Amended Budget. The $1.9 million increase reflects the fact that all sales tax <br />categories performed better than expected particularly the following categories <br />performed better in FY 2020/21 than in FY 2019/20 (1) sales tax generated from <br />internet sales (pooled sales tax allocations) increased 18 percent, (2) Business and <br />Industry increased 17 percent, and (3) Autos and Transportation increased eight <br />percent. <br />Development Services Fee revenues increased by $383,446 or approximately nine <br />percent as a result of issuing more building permits than what staff anticipated during <br />the Mid -year budget review. <br />Business License revenues exceeded budget by $871,000 or 22 percent as a result of <br />additional businesses seeking business licenses than expected as well as greater gross <br />receipts (the basis of which the Business License Tax is calculated) overall than <br />expected. <br />Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) decreased by $85,000 or four percent as a result of <br />continued reduced business travel. <br />Recreation Fees increased by approximately $573,000 or 74 percent due to increased <br />demand for Recreation programs during the spring and summer of 2021 than expected. <br />General Fund Expenditures. Actual General Fund expenditures incurred were less <br />than the Mid -year budget by $3.7 million or three percent from the Mid -year budget. <br />Table 3 shows the major expenditure categories with a comparison of Mid -year budget <br />versus Actual Expenditures and the variance to the Mid -year budget. The $2.3 million <br />variance in Personnel costs is primarily related to (1) reducing the allocation to the <br />Page 4 of 14 <br />FY 2020/21 <br />FY 2019/20 <br />Revenues <br />Actual <br />Revised <br />Actual <br />Variance <br />Property Taxes <br />$74,257,259 <br />$77,367,123 <br />$77,667,356 <br />($300,233) <br />Sales & Use Taxes <br />20, 662, 385 <br />20, 030, 000 <br />21, 883, 038 <br />(1,853,038) <br />Other Taxes <br />15, 885, 377 <br />10, 393, 000 <br />11, 655, 802 <br />(1,262,802) <br />Development Services Fees <br />4,050,161 <br />4,219,000 <br />4,602,446 <br />(383,446) <br />Recreation Fees <br />2,310,190 <br />774,303 <br />1,347,488 <br />(573,185) <br />Other Revenues <br />1 7,187, 927 <br />9,156, 589 <br />8,194, 973 <br />961,616 <br />Total <br />1 $124,353,299 <br />$121,940,015 <br />$125,351,102 <br />($3,411,088) <br />Property Tax revenues are the largest revenue source for the General Fund, accounting <br />for approximately 62 percent of total revenues.
