<br />-8- <br />GOVERNMENTAL FUND EXPENDITURES <br /> <br />The expenditures of governmental funds will also vary from state-wide averages and from year-to-year, <br />based on the City’s circumstances. Expenditures are classified into three types as follows: <br /> <br />• Current – These are typically the general operating type expenditures occurring on an annual <br />basis, and are primarily funded by general sources, such as taxes and intergovernmental revenues. <br /> <br />• Capital Outlay and Construction – These expenditures do not occur on a consistent basis, more <br />typically fluctuating significantly from year-to-year. Many of these expenditures are <br />project-oriented, and are often funded by specific sources that have benefited from the <br />expenditure, such as special assessment improvement projects. <br /> <br />• Debt Service – Although the expenditures for debt service may be relatively consistent over the <br />term of the respective debt, the funding source is the important factor. Some debt may be repaid <br />through specific sources, such as special assessments or redevelopment funding, while other debt <br />may be repaid with general property taxes. <br /> <br />The City’s expenditures per capita of its governmental funds for the past three years, together with <br />state-wide averages, are presented in the following table: <br /> <br />Year 2016 2017 2018 <br />Population 2,500–10,000 10,000–20,000 20,000–100,000 9,966 9,969 10,069 <br />Current <br />147$ 120$ 101$ 120$ 119$ 116$ <br />270 259 287 199 206 207 <br />128 127 101 48 45 58 <br />96 112 99 62 62 65 <br />76 64 77 23 27 32 <br />717 682 665 452 459 478 <br />Capital outlay <br /> and construction 403 319 263 99 118 591 <br />Debt service <br />228 147 121 – – – <br />44 35 32 – – – <br />272 182 153 – – – <br />Total expenditures 1,392$ 1,183$ 1,081$ 551$ 577$ 1,069$ <br />Governmental Funds Expenditures per Capita <br />With State-Wide Averages by Population Class <br />City of Arden HillsState-Wide <br />All other <br />Principal <br />December 31, 2017 <br />Interest and fiscal <br />General government <br />Public safety <br />Public works <br />Parks and recreation <br /> <br />Total expenditures in the City’s governmental funds for 2018 were $10,757,975, an increase of <br />$5,003,332 (86.9 percent).
