NOTES: First Quarter General Fund Expenses


     The City has not closed the books for FY03 due to the complexity of implementing the new GASB Reporting Model. This means that there may be some revenue and expenses that are overstated in the enclosed report. These figures will be adjusted and the second quarter totals will be correct.


Note #!: City Contingency fund was changed in FY04 from the Mayor’s Department to the Miscellaneous Department.


Note #2: Salary accounts for Public Works contain overtime related to Hurricane Isabel. Repayment will come from FEMA for most of these expenditures.


Note #3: Each Department’s Salary category for FY04 contains the health insurance expense that was formerly budgeted in the Insurance Department.

Notes:


(1) The Revenue for the Water and Sewer Fund reflects an 8% increase in sewer rates.


(2) The General Fund no longer subsidizes the Marina Fund and the intent of the FY04 budget is to make it self supporting.


(3) The revenue in the EMS Fund is down due to staffing problems, the revenue should be caught up by the end of the second quarter.
