YTD revenues and expenditures will fluctuate <br />widely throughout the year depending on peak periods for each activity. Below are a few general notes <br />regarding various items. <br /> <br />Revenues: <br />• Tax revenues are receipted in July and December. <br />• General Fund non-tax revenues are expected to be higher this year compared to last year mainly <br />due to increased building permits mostly due to the two school construction projects. Activity has <br />started picking up as we approach warmer weather. <br />• Utility Bills are reflected the following quarter due to the timing of mailings and payments. <br />• Interest earnings are typically allocated at year-end. <br /> <br />Expenditures: <br />• Expenditures reflect a combination of ongoing expenses and items that are one-time payments per <br />year. As such, year-to-date percentages on expenses other than personnel will fluctuate <br />significantly. <br />• We closed two budgetary departments: communications and city hall. The communications <br />expenses are incorporated into the administration department. <br /> <br />Additional information regarding planned/budgeted changes is available in the 2025 Budget reports from <br />the December 17, 2024 Council meeting, or upon request. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />As noted. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />1) Quarterly Financial Reports
