Notes

  1. Real Estate Taxes:  Note that the revenue estimate shown includes the final real estate tax rate of 97.8 cents per $100 of assessed value approved by Council on May 3.  However, this rate includes an allocation of 0.5 cents of the property tax increase to pay for stormwater sewer infrastructure, providing $0.8 million for FY 2010, which is recorded in the special stormwater fund and not included in this General Fund monthly financial report revenue estimate.
  2. Local Sales and Use Taxes:  Excluding one-time repayments of $1.5 million made in the prior year, year-to-date retail sales collections from July through April are 2.0 percent below last year. 
  3. Other Local Taxes: Collections to date represent a difference in the timing for payments made for the annual bank franchise tax.
  4. Revenue from the Use of Money and Property: Continued decreased revenue in this category reflects the extremely low interest rates budgeted and earned on City operating funds, which are conservatively invested for safety and liquidity reasons.
  5. Year-to-Date Revenues: As of May 31, 2010, actual General Fund revenues totaled $377.0, which is 3.1 percent above FY 2009 revenues of $365.5 million for the same period last year.  Council received updated revenue forecasts at the April 26 Budget work session.  That estimate shows a potential revenue shortfall of $8.1 million, or 1.5 percent, compared to the original FY 2010 budget estimate of General Fund revenues of $530 million, primarily due to lower assessments than previously forecast, lower business license and sales tax revenue, and lower intergovernmental revenues.
