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 overall financial position of the Town remains positive with all funds to be on track for the year.
Some highlights contained in this report include:
• Net sales tax revenue was up 2.8 percent through December compared to 2022
• General Fund expenditures are 17 percent under the yearend budget for 2023 largely due to a 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 $315.5 million, of the amended 2023 budget for the Town; through the fourth quarter of 2023, $95.1 million has been expended
• Development activity slowed down compared to 2022 and ended the year below 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
