development process, staff will bring forward recommended updates to the City's reserve <br /> policy for Council's consideration. <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> Annually, staff presents the year-end financial report (Report) to Council for approval. <br /> The Report summarizes the actual results of the financial activities for the fiscal year <br /> and details changes in reserves and recommended budget amendments or <br /> adjustments. The City's ACFR is still in progress; therefore, the financial information <br /> included in this Report is based on unaudited figures. The audited information will be <br /> presented to Council in the ACFR once the City's independent auditor has issued its <br /> opinion and the ACFR has been reviewed by the Audit Committee. All of this is <br /> expected to occur in January or February 2023. Any changes to the information <br /> presented in this Report as a result of the audit will be brought to City Council's <br /> attention at that time. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> The following discussion addresses the General Fund, Enterprise Funds, and Internal <br /> Services Funds. Please note that unrealized investment loss/market value adjustments <br /> associated with the City's pool investment portfolio is not included in the revenue <br /> presented in this Report. For ACFR reporting purposes, the City is required to record <br /> the market value adjustments. Due to the removal of unrealized investment loss, the <br /> revenue reported in this staff report is higher than the revenue that will be reported in <br /> the ACFR. Investment loss is not expected as the City intends to hold the securities until <br /> maturity. Therefore, unrealized investment loss is not reported from a budgetary <br /> perspective as resources are expected to be available for spending. The unrealized <br /> investment loss associated with the City's PARS Pension Trust is also excluded for <br /> reporting consistency. Due to market volatility, FY 2021/22 market value adjustments <br /> are more significant than prior years' adjustments. Table 1 below presents an example <br /> of reconciliation between budgetary surplus and ACFR surplus. <br /> General Fund <br /> As shown in Table 1 below, in FY 2021/22 actual revenues received were greater than <br /> the amended budget by $6.1 million, or 4.5 percent. The amended budget is the original <br /> budget plus all budget amendments approved by City Council through June 30, 2022. <br /> Transfers in and out (net transfers) were $0.1 million less than the amended budget, <br /> and expenditures were $4.6 million or 3.7 percent less than the amended budget. <br /> Overall, inflows of cash exceeded outflows of cash by $10.2 million. This net surplus <br /> excludes an unrealized investment loss of $3.6 million incurred in FY 2021/22. <br /> Accounting for this unrealized loss, the revised revenue surplus and net surplus are <br /> $2.5 million and $6.6 million, respectively. A detailed explanation of these variances is <br /> included in Tables 2, 3, 4 and 5 in this Report. <br /> It should be noted that the City was allocated over $8.5 million in American Rescue Plan <br /> Act (ARPA) stimulus funds. $4.3 million in revenue was budgeted in FY 2021/22 and <br /> spent on General Fund operations including public safety, community services, <br /> operations services, and economic development. The remaining balance will be spent in <br /> FY 2022/23. ARPA funds are one-time revenue. <br /> Page 2 of 13 <br />
