Presentation of FY20 Q1 Financial Dashboards
Key Issues:
The General Fund year-to-date (YTD) revenue amounts through the first quarter of FY2020 total $13,268,452. This total is less than budgeted estimates by $67,774 (or approximately 0.5%). The following is information about the revenue sources and variances:
-Sales Tax: The YTD local sales tax revenue is less than budgeted estimates by $177,805 (or 3.5%) and previous year actuals by $105,078 (or 2%). This is a data point that will be watched closely throughout the fiscal year.
