GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
<br />Total General Fund revenues were $15,265 less than estimated in the budget. An increase in abatements
<br />and less tax collections than anticipated caused general property taxes to come in less than projected in
<br />the budget. Licenses and permits, along with charges for services, were under budget as development
<br />activity was less than anticipated in the current year. Improved investment earnings and conservative
<br />budgeting for this source nearly offset the negative variances in the previously mentioned sources.
<br />Conservative assumptions, active budget management, and open positions all contributed to expenditures
<br />coming in less than anticipated. Larger savings in areas of planning and zoning, street maintenance, and
<br />recreation all contributed to the spending variance in the current year.
<br />During the year, the City Council approved budget amendments, which increased expenditures by
<br />$60,990 and transfers out by $171,140, providing supplemental appropriations and moving available
<br />resources to other funds.
