REVENUES

The revenue table compares amounts received through the second quarter and conclusion of FY 2018-2019 to the amounts budgeted for that same time period. Total revenues collected were $5,946,636, or 74.4% of the budgeted amount of $7,994,650. Variances within the individual revenue categories are described below:

• Water Supply Charge revenues were $1,933,039, or 113.7% of the budget for the period. The first installment of this revenue was received in December 2018. The second installment will be received in April 2019.
• Property tax revenues were $1,062,370, or 118.0% of the budget for the period. The first installment of this revenue was received in December 2018. The second installment will be received in April 2019.
• User fee revenues were $1,974,790, or about 92.9% of the amount budgeted. This is slightly lower than budgeted as the District does not have historical figures on collection.
• Connection Charge revenues were $363,811, or 291.0% 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 first six months.
• Permit Fees revenues were $135,320, or 117.2% 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 first six months.
• Interest revenues were 70,155, or 400.9% of the budget for the period. Actual interest received was significantly higher than budgeted for the first six months due to favorable interest rates.
• Reimbursements of $400,552, or 48.2% of the budget. This is based on actual spending and collection of reimbursement project funds. This is considerably less than the budgeted amount as many projects were deferred and continued to next quarter.
• Grant revenue of $926, or 0.1% of the budget. This is due to grant funded projects being deferred and continued to next quarter.
• The Other revenue category totaled $5,673 or about 16.0% of the budgeted amount. This category includes reimbursement revenues from legal and other miscellaneous services.
• 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 $5,844,105 were about 73.1% of the budgeted amount of $7,994,650 for the period. Variances within the individual expenditure categories are described below:

• Personnel costs of $2,040,068 were about 105.9% of the budget. This was slightly higher than the anticipated budget as CalPERS unfunded liability for the current fiscal year is paid up front in July.
• Expenditures for supplies and services were $606,299, or about 91.2% of the budgeted amount. This was lower than the anticipated budget due to the consulting services and legal expenses coming in lower than the expected budgeted numbers.
• Fixed assets purchases of $275,101 represented around 96.0% of the budgeted amount. This was slightly lower than the anticipated budget.
• Funds spent for project expenditures were $2,857,237, or approximately 60.7% of the amount budgeted for the period. This is due to most projects spending being deferred to next quarter.
• Debt Service included costs of $65,400, or 56.9% of the budget for the period. Debt service is paid semi-annually, in December and June.
• Election expenditures $0, or 0% of the budgeted amount. These costs will be billed by the election department in April/May.
• 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.
