CONSENT ITEM - 8B -ADEN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: May 12, 2025 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Jessica Jagoe, City Administrator FROM: Joua Yang, Finance Director SUBJECT: 2025 1st Quarter Financials Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: N/A N/A N/A Council Should Consider Motion to approve, table or deny the following: Quarterly budget to actual fund statements and investment portfolio detail for the City. Background Investments - per the Investment Policy, our Benchmark Rate is the 4M plus Rate. At March 31, 2025 — this rate was 4.289% and our portfolio is averaging 3.04%. Our average rate will begin to increase as lower interest investments mature and we continue to invest in higher interest investments. All of our investments are in government secured or government backed deposits. Utility billing cycles and CIP projects are taken into account when determining how much to invest and for how long. Basis of accounting — during the year, City books are kept on a cash basis which means that only items that are received are booked as revenue and items paid are booked as expenses. Adjustments for accruals, deferrals and other accounting requirements are made at year end. The first quarter financial results are generally as expected and mostly positive across all City funds. City revenue streams are on target with prior year and budget, and departments are for the most part under the 25% expended thus far in the year. General Fund — The main source of revenue for the City is property taxes and these come in twice a year. Expenditures are at 20.2% of budget through the end of the quarter, compared to 24.2% last year. Some of this difference is due to the timing of invoices. Other governmental funds and enterprise funds — Utility revenue for first quarter is booked in April 2025 and annual transfers between funds will be booked later in the year. Page 1 of 2
