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
