Introduction
The fourth quarter 2013-14 Financial Status Report, which focuses on the General Fund, is attached. The fourth quarter of FY 13-14 performed well and although, unaudited, FY 13-14 financial results are fairly positive.
As of June 30, 2014, $62 million or 98% of the General Fund operating budget has been expended and functional areas in the General Fund were fairly on target with budget. This $62 million also includes approximately $320,000 for expenditures related to the COCOS Fire Incident back in May. We are still wrapping up the financial activity for the year-end audit but feel confident that expenditures will be at this level or just slightly above.
General Fund revenues outperformed budget by approximately $1.9 million. However, a large portion of that was due to a one-time generated revenue source in the amount of $1.2 million from the Hansen Property Sales Tax Settlement.
Overall, revenues exceeded expenditures by approximately $2.2 million. Reserves remained at approximately $55.7, after an equity transfer of $3.6 million to the replacement/rehabilitation funds as approved by City Council. Currently, General Fund Reserves are 70% of unassigned fund balance which is well over the reserve policy limit of 50%.
Staff hopes to complete the audit by mid-November and bring back to City Council the Comprehensive Annual Financial Statements for FY 13-14 showing final results by the end of December.
