Property tax collections <br />were lower than expected due to tax petition refunds to a number of commercial properties. General <br />Government expenditures were higher than normal due to citywide storm damage cleanup costs. <br />The General Fund is currently in good financial condition with $6.1 million in available cash reserves <br />or 48% of the annual operating budget. The City's Cash Reserve Policy establishes a target reserve <br />level of 35-45% for this Fund. <br />It should be noted that $100,000 of these cash reserves have informally been earmarked for tree <br />removal associated with Emerald Ash Borer infestation. The General Fund is also a potential funding <br />source for the additional costs associated with the new Fire Station that were not included in the <br />original bond amount projection. Finally, the Council is reminded that a large portion of the 2012 <br />General Fund operating surplus is intended to be available for 2013 operations in conjunction with the <br />City's biennial approach. <br />Using the General Fund for these purposes, could drop the cash reserve level to 40% or less. <br />Page 3 of 13 <br />
