File Number: 17-095 <br />Other/Transfer (33% of adopted budget compared to 28% in 2014-15)- Other revenue <br />increased by $29,000 or 17% primarily due to an increase in donations received by the City, <br />greater Police Abandoned Vehicle fees, and greater Sidewalk Repair fees. <br /> <br />As reported in the attached Mid-Year Financial Report, all other taxes and revenue receipts <br />are relatively in line with budgeted revenues. The third quarter report will show a closer <br />estimate to what the year-end results will reflect. <br />General Fund Expenditures <br /> The following details General Fund year over year expenditure variances that are equal to or <br />greater than + or - 10% and are presented in the order they are shown on the mid-year <br />financial report: <br />Engineering and Transportation - (54% of adopted budget compared to 51% in <br />2015-16) - The current year's mid-year expenditures are $191,000 or 14% more than in <br />2015-16 and reflect more staff time and consulting expense spent on capital projects. Higher <br />costs also represent increases to salaries and benefits as a result of new labor agreements, <br />normal step level adjustments, and rising PERS costs. <br />Public Works (53% of adopted budget compared to 47% in 2015-16) - The current year's <br />mid-year expenditures are $335,000 or 15% more than in 2015-16 and reflect increased costs <br />for salaries due to new labor agreements, expanded use of part-time staff, increased street <br />and grounds repairs, purchase of traffic control cabinets and parks maintenance supplies, <br />higher PERS and healthcare costs, and higher water costs for landscape maintenance. <br />Debt Service - (10% of adopted budget compared to 33% in 2015-16) - The current year's <br />mid-year expenditures are $1.0 million or 65% less than in 2015-16. This is entirely due to an <br />internal timing issue of when debt service payments are recorded. Staff expects debt service <br />payments to equal budgetary appropriations by end of the fiscal year. <br />Transfers (1% of adopted budget compared to 0% in 2015-16) - The current year's <br />mid-year expenditures are $50,000 or 100% greater than in 2015-16.This is again due to an <br />internal timing issue of when interfund transfers are recorded. Staff expects transfers to equal <br />budgetary appropriations by end of the fiscal year. <br /> <br />Enterprise & Internal Service Funds <br /> Four Enterprise Funds make up the City's business type operations. The Water Pollution <br />Control Plant Fund, Environmental Services Fund, Shoreline Enterprise Fund, and the Storm <br />Water Fund are City municipal operations designed to fully recover costs through user fees. <br />Internal Service Funds also operate as business activities, exclusively supporting the City's <br />internal operations. Facilities Maintenance, Information Technology, Insurance Services, and <br />Equipment Maintenance make up these funds. <br />The following details year over year Enterprise & Internal Service Funds expenditure or <br />revenue variances that are equal to or greater than + or - 10% and are presented in the order <br />they are shown on the mid-year financial report: <br /> <br />Water Pollution Control Plant (593) - Revenues decreased by $7.1 million or 77% and <br />Page 4 City of San Leandro Printed on 2/28/2017 <br />179
