Total revenues collected were $13,970,029, or 85.5% of the budgeted amount of $16,347,700. Variances within the individual revenue categories are described below:

• Water Supply Charge revenues were $2,023,216, or 119.0% of the budget for the period. The first installment of this revenue was received in December 2022. The second installment will be received in April 2023.
• Property tax revenues were $1,429,959, or 114.4% of the budget for the period. The first installment of this revenue was received in December 2022. The second installment will be received in April 2023.
• User fee revenues were $2,977,536, or about 108.3% of the amount budgeted. This is slightly higher than the budgeted amount.
• Pure Water Monterey Water Sales revenue was $6,836,747, or 112.1% of the budget for the period. This is water sales revenue for water purchased from Monterey One Water and sold to California American Water and is a pass-through to the District.
• Connection Charge revenues were $200,458, or 80.2% of the budget for the period. Actual collection was lower than anticipated budgeted figure as the forecasted figures are based on estimated number of customers pulling permits. There were less connections received than budgeted for the current quarter.

• Permit Fees revenues were $107,517, or 108.6% 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 were more permits received than budgeted for the current quarter.
• Interest revenues were $61,554, or 153.9% of the budget for the period. Actual interest was higher than budgeted as there has been a rise in interest rates.
• Reimbursements of $275,931 or 19.6% of the budget. This is based on actual spending and collection of reimbursement project funds. This is due to projects being deferred and continued to next quarter.
• Grant revenue of $43,028, or 2.5% of the budget. This is due to grant funded projects being deferred and continued to next quarter.
• The Other revenue category totaled $14,083 or about 187.8% of the budgeted amount. This category includes insurance refunds, miscellaneous reimbursements, and other miscellaneous services. Actual collections were higher 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 $11,202,360 were about 68.5% of the budgeted amount of $16,347,700 for the period. Variances within the individual expenditure categories are described below:

• Personnel costs of $2,305,631 were about 102.7% of the budget. This was slightly higher than the anticipated budget due to CalPERS employer portion of the unfunded liability paid upfront for the fiscal year.
• Expenditures for supplies and services were $748,619, or about 86.0% of the budgeted amount. This was lower than the anticipated budget due to legal and consulting services being lower than anticipated for the current quarter.
• Fixed assets purchases of $58,475 represented around 26.0% of the budgeted amount. This was due to some of the fixed asset purchases deferred to next quarter.
• Funds spent for project expenditures were $8,040,626, or approximately 66.7% of the amount budgeted for the period. This is lower than budgeted due to some of the project spending being deferred to next quarter. This line also includes water purchased from Monterey One Water.
• Debt Service included costs of $49,009, or 13.4% of the budget for the period. Debt service is paid semi-annually, in December and June.
• Contingencies/Other expenditures $0, or 0% of the budgeted amount. This was due to the contingency budget not spent during this quarter.
