REVENUES

The revenue table compares amounts received through the third quarter and conclusion of FY 2017-2018 to the amounts budgeted for that same time-period. Total revenues collected were $17,425,486, or 102.2% of the budgeted amount of $17,047,800. Variances within the individual revenue categories are described below:

• Water Supply Charge revenues were $3,404,897, or 100.1% of the budget for the period. This was in line with the expected budgeted figure.
• Property tax revenues were $1,915,973, or 109.5% of the budget for the period. This was higher than anticipated due to increase in property values resulting in higher property tax allocation for the District.
• User fee revenues were $5,158,825, or about 126.0% of the amount budgeted. The User Fee was implemented from April 19, 2017. This was the first full year of User Fee collections, and thus the budgeted figures were lower than the actual collections since the District did not have historical figures on collections.
• Connection Charge revenues were $522,167, or 174.1% of the budget for the period. Actual collection was higher than anticipated budgeted figure as the forecasted figures are based on estimated number of customers pulling permits. There was more connection charge received than budgeted for the fiscal year.
• Permit Fees revenues were $277,937, or 120.3% of the budget for the period. Actual collection was higher than anticipated budgeted figure as the forecasted figures are based on estimated number of customers pulling permits. There was more permit fees received than budgeted for the fiscal year.
• Interest revenues were $60,895, or 203.0% of the budget for the period. Actual interest received was higher than budgeted due to increase in fund balance and investment strategies.
• Reimbursements of $5,885,005, or 100.2% of the budget. This is based on actual spending and collection of reimbursement project funds. This line includes reimbursements from the Pure Water Monterey project. This was in line with the expected budgeted figure.
• Grant revenue of 155,021, or 34.4% of the budget. This is due to grant funded projects being deferred and continued to next fiscal year.
• The Other revenue category totaled $44,766 or about 68.2% of the budgeted amount. This category includes reimbursement revenues from legal and other miscellaneous services. Actual collections were lower than anticipated.
• The Reserves category totaled $0 or about 0.00% of the budgeted amount. This category includes potential use of reserves and the water supply carry forward balance during the fiscal year for which adjustments will be made at the conclusion of the fiscal year.

EXPENDITURES

Expenditure activity as depicted on the expenditure table is similar to patterns seen in past fiscal years. Total expenditures of $8,302,886 were about 48.7% of the budgeted amount of $17,047,800 for the period. Variances within the individual expenditure categories are described below:

• Personnel costs of $3,605,410 were about 100.2% of the budget. This was in line with the anticipated budget.
• Expenditures for supplies and services were $1,155,378, or about 87.2% of the budgeted amount. This was lower than the anticipated budget primarily due to the professional fees and legal expenses coming in lower than the expected budgeted numbers.
• Fixed assets purchases of $372,107 represented around 42.9% of the budgeted amount as most of the purchases were deferred to next quarter. The largest portion of this line item is the Water Demand Division database project which started in February 2018 and will conclude next fiscal year.
• Funds spent for project expenditures were $3,030,945, or approximately 53.0% of the amount budgeted for the period. This is due to most projects spending being deferred to next fiscal year.
• Debt Service included costs of $132,183, or 57.5% of the budget for the period. Debt service is paid semi-annually, in December and June. Principal paid on the debt was recorded against the outstanding liability.
• Contingencies/Other expenditures $0, or 0% of the budgeted amount. This was due to the contingency budget not spent during this fiscal year.
• Reserve expenditures of $0, or 0% of the budgeted amount. This was due to the adjustments made at the conclusion of the fiscal year.
