SUMMARY:  March 31, 2006 marked the conclusion of the third quarter of fiscal year 2006-07.  Bar graphs comparing budgeted and actual year-to-date revenues and expenditures for the period are included as Exhibits 9-A and 9-B.  Exhibit 9-C presents the same information in a table format.  The following comments summarize District staff's observations:

 

REVENUES

Permit revenues in the amount of $185,422 were about 10% under budget, while connection charges in the amount of $441,666 were about 14% over the amount budgeted due to continued higher than anticipated activity.   Interest revenues of $64,141 for the period were approximately 43% over budget due primarily to increased interest rates and higher than anticipated reserves.  User fees revenues in the amount of $1,399,557 were approximately 21% under the budgeted amount due to the fact that the year-to-date revenue does not include receipts for the month of March.  Also, the California Public Utilities Commission has not yet ruled on Cal-Am’s pending rate increase request that will be retroactive to January 1, 2006.  The first installment of property tax revenues in the amount of $533,133 was received during this period.  No grant funds were actually received as of the end of the third quarter.  Project reimbursements of $14,873 were only approximately 8% of the amount budgeted for the period, mostly due to pending increased conservation measures awaiting the decision on Cal-Am’s rate increase.  The “Other” category revenues were $46,009 or about 26% over budget due to unanticipated miscellaneous revenues.  Overall, total revenues received during the first nine months of the fiscal year totaled $2,717,801, which represented 72% of revenues budgeted for the same period.    

 

EXPENDITURES

Expenditure activity as depicted on the expenditure graph is similar to patterns seen in past years. Personnel expenditures of $2,005,440 were about 99% of budgeted amount.  Expenditures for supplies and services amounted to $1,573,346 or about 12% percent over the budgeted amount.  Capital assets purchases totaled $6,540 or only 13% of the budgeted amount.  Included in this category is $50,000 for the conference room upgrade, and it is anticipated most of those funds will be expended by the end of the fiscal year.  Outlay for Project expenditures were $318,839 representing 28% of the amount budgeted for the period.  Election expenses of $118,545 were incurred and paid during the period.  The Contingencies/Reserves category, which consists of a $73,050 contingency, had no expenditures during this period.  Overall, expenditures of $4,774,875 for the nine months of the fiscal year totaled approximately 84% of the amount budgeted for the same period.
