FINANCE DIRECTOR’S REPORT - 2014 Final and 2015 First Quarter Results
Ms. Mueller stated that the General Operating Fund has maintained a very healthy fund
balance for the fiscal year ending in 2014, which can be contributed to various position
vacancies, a significant increase in building inspection fees and additional investment income
recognized. The only fund under-performing is the water utility which resulted from rainy
weather conditions and costly service repairs in 2014. Significant loss required the water utility
to temporarily borrow $285,000 cash from the sewer utility to allow for an unrestricted cash
balance of zero versus a negative amount.
ADJOURNMENT
Alderman Borgman made a motion to adjourn at 6:17 pm. Alderman Kubacki
seconded.
