Body

Executive Summary

 

The following discussion and financial information reflects the positive financial condition of

the Town and highlights the continued focus on strategic priorities established by Town

Council. Financial reporting for the Town takes a team effort between Finance, Department

Heads, and staff. Reporting helps to keep departments apprised of potential revenue

shortages that could trigger budget adjustments.

As demonstrated by the following information, departments continue effective and

responsible management of the Town’s finances while working towards accomplishing

community priorities. The preliminary year-end review indicates that the Town's overall

financial position remains positive, with all funds projected to remain on track as the fiscal

year concludes.

Some highlights contained in this report include:

                     Gross sales tax revenue was up 6 percent through December compared to 2023

                     General Fund expenditures are 18 percent under the year-end budget for 2024

                     largely due to $13 million decrease in the amount of a planned loan to the

                     Transportation Capital Fund for the Crystal Valley Interchange project, vacancy

                     savings, and timing of other projects such as the Downtown Quiet Zone

                     Capital expenditures make up 52 percent, or $326 million, of the amended 2024

                     budget for the Town; through the fourth quarter of 2024, $119.4 million has been

                     expended

                     Metered water sales in 2024 have increased compared to the previous year, due to

                     lower water sales in 2023

                     Development activity has slowed down as compared to 2023 and ended the year

                     below the forecasted budget

                     The financial information in this report includes:

                     Highlights of seasonally adjusted year to date revenue and expenditures including

                     financial summaries by major category for each Town fund

                     Status updates related to community priorities

                     Discussion and financial summaries by major category for each fund

                     Incorporation of the third amendment to the 2024 budget as approved by Town

                     Council
