Through the third quarter, the General Fund is tracking as expected. The table presented in this report include budget-toactual comparisons between the current fiscal year and the previous fiscal year to show results of the third quarter of each year compared to the adjusted budget as it stood on March 31st of each year. A year-over-year comparison is also presented to show results of the first three months of the current fiscal year as compared to the previous year. Major difference in budget-to-actual and year-over-year comparisons are explained in this report.

The city’s General Fund for the first three quarters of Fiscal Year 2022-2023, which ended March 31, 2023, are tracking as expected. General Fund revenues are up $1.4 million compared to the same period last year; this increase is due mainly to sales and use tax, interest, and Prop A Exchange. Fiscal year to date expenditures, excluding transfers to other funds, are at $7.8 million, compared to $6.8 million last year.

Expenditures
The table below shows the budget-to-actual expenditures through March 31st for Fiscal Years 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 by department. General Fund expenditures appear to be tracking higher than the prior fiscal year at 63% of the budget through the end of the third quarter of the current fiscal year (75%). Overall, most departments are tracking as expected, apart from Human Resources.

For Human Resources, the expenditures are tracking slightly higher due to several factors such as increases in the workers’ compensation/liability premiums, and PERS Unfunded Liability (Tiers 1-3) being paid in a lump sum at the beginning of the fiscal year; this prepayment is made every fiscal year and saves the city approximately 4% on the expenditure. 2021-2022
