MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, April 23, 2012 <br />• 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT <br />5. YEAR -TO -DATE GENERAL FUND BUDGET INFORMATION <br />Ron Olson noted it is the end of the first quarter and that at this time of the year he likes to see <br />expenditure numbers at approximately 25 percent. Olson noted revenue numbers are typically low for <br />this time of year since the City does not receive any tax payments until June 20th. In July the City will <br />receive the other third. By the end of the year, the City should be at about 98 percent of its revenues. At <br />the present time the City has received 6.3 percent of its revenues, which is normal for this time of year. <br />Olson noted building permits are already at 28 percent, which is a good sign. Olson stated the graph <br />shows first quarter revenues over the past two years. Revenues are a little lower this year than last year <br />but they are expected to go up over the next three quarters. <br />Olson stated overall expenditures are currently at 22.89 percent for the quarter. The majority of the <br />departments are around or under 25 percent.cThe slight overages in some of the departments are due to <br />annual membership fees or training. <br />Olson noted the golf course opened in March due to the nice weather but that it is too early to tell what <br />the revenues will be for this year. <br />McMillan stated she would like to have a dollar comparison for this year to last year's revenues and <br />expenditures. <br />Olson indicated he will do that for the second quarter. <br />McMillan asked if the golf course has its own website and domain name. <br />Olson stated the golf course is included on the City's website. <br />McMillan commented it might be a good idea for the golf course to have its own domain name and <br />website, especially given the upcoming construction in that area. <br />Olson stated they can obtain a domain for between $25 and $50. <br />CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT <br />City Attorney Mattick had nothing to report. <br />*6.
