Departmental Expenditure Summary: At this point the City'is three Months or 25.00% through the budget year. It is important to remember that expenditures do not occurequally throughout the year. For example, capital expenditures and association memberships are one-time expenditures that if made early in the fiscal year can produce a distorted expenditure percentage. Within the General,- Water & Sewer, and Airport Funds there were eight departments whose expenditures were over 25.00%. 1. City Council -37.49%. The overage amounts to $25,043 and was due to the City Manager search and the annual insurance payment. 2. Public Works -25.08%. The overage amounts to $220.90 and is an immaterial amount. 3. Traffic & Public Lighting -27.99%. The overage amounts to $16,021 and was due to the construction of bus stops. 4. Library -28.29%. The overage amounts to $29,325 and was caused by computer related expenses and upgrade to children's area. 5. General Expenses & IT -27.63%. The overage amounts to $60,829 and was caused by Microsoft Teams Room, Forestbrook PID expenses, and the annual contribution to the Health District. 6. Water Billing -25.5%. The overage amounts to $15,606 and was due to software payments, annual insurance payment, and incorrect posting of a charge to this department. 7. Water Distribution -26.23%. The overage amounts to $25,2128 and was due to temp help, longevity pay, sick sell back, and vehicle tires. 8. Airport -27.24%. The overage amounts to $23,893 and was caused by the annual insurance payment, the ground power unit, other supplies, and building maintenance. General comments to the City Council: Over 99% of all the City operational activity takes place in the General Fund, the Water & Sewer Fund, and the Airport Fund. The other funds are special purpose funds with limited activity and usually with legal restrictions on what their money can be spent on. For that reason, I normally only comment on the activity of the General Fund, Water & Sewer Fund, and Airport Fund. However, if circumstances merited it, I would make comment on activity in one of the other funds. I attempt to anticipate questions you might have about the report and comment on those points. After you receive your packet and review the monthly report, if you have questions about the report, please let me know before the Council meeting, if possible, in case I must research the answer to your question. That does not prevent you from asking the question at the meeting if you wish to make a point, but it does help prevent questions coming up that I can't answer on the spot and possibly delay the Council in making a decision.
