Revenues -- January 2011

Back to Report 

Notes

  1. Business License Tax: The increase in this category reflects a change in the timing of payments due to an increase in the number of businesses on quarterly payment plans.
  2. Revenue from the Federal Government:  The City has received $1.2 million in FY 2011 for the Build America Bonds subsidy as compared to $0.4 million in FY 2010.
  3. Licenses and Permits: The category decrease is due to the transfer of the approximate $3.8 million budget for new construction fees from the General Fund to a special revenue account beginning July 1, 2010, where they will be used to cover the cost of Code Enforcement’s New Construction Division, which is now self-financed from these permit fees.
  4. Year-to-Date Revenues:  As of January 31, 2011, actual General Fund revenues totaled $280.4 million, which is 2.2 percent higher than FY 2010 revenues for the same period last year.  Most of this increase is related to the other local taxes category, which is up 6.0 percent over last year.  The FY 2012 Proposed Budget contains a revised estimate for FY 2011 revenues.  That estimate shows a revenue surplus of $12.5 million or 2.3 percent compared to the original FY 2011 budget estimate of General Fund revenues for $526.1 million, primarily due to real property revenues (due to higher assessments than previously forecast). As discussed at the October Council Retreat, this surplus was set aside primarily for capital.
