MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, July 25, 2011 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> Page 12 of 13 <br /> <br />(12. MID-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT, Continued) <br /> <br />Minnesota. At the present time the City is only at 10 percent since the majority of the monies are <br />received in the fall. <br /> <br />The golf course was not able to be opened until April. Due to the poor weather this year, the City is only <br />at 35 percent of the revenues budgeted for the golf course. Through July 20th, the golf course is at <br />approximately 43 percent of revenues budgeted. Olson noted there is not a lot of time to make up that <br />shortfall. Olson stated the Council can discuss the golf course budget in depth at the August work session <br />when it discusses next year's budget. <br /> <br />Olson stated he expects the City to be at 100 percent of revenues by the end of the year. Building permit <br />revenue is above what was anticipated for this year, which has not occurred in the past four years. 2011 <br />revenues are slightly ahead of last year so the City should be able to come in at 100 percent of what was <br />anticipated for revenues. <br /> <br />On the expenditure side, the majority of the departments are at 50 percent of what was budgeted. Central <br />services is slightly over 50 percent due to some renewals of licenses and software support fees. Those <br />costs are usually incurred earlier in the year and that he does not anticipate those costs will be over what <br />has been budgeted for the year. <br /> <br />Olson stated the City will likely be $450 over on the fire department budget. Law and legal will likely <br />end up at 110 percent of budget, which is mainly due to code enforcement. Olson noted this is the first <br />year the City has budgeted for that item and the costs are more than what was initially expected. Olson <br />stated $87,500 was budgeted for law and legal and that he is anticipating the City will be approximately <br />$10,000 over. <br /> <br />McMillan stated having last year’s actual would be helpful when reviewing the City’s financial reports. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY ATTORNEY’S REPORT <br /> <br />Mattick noted he will be going to court tomorrow on the last portion of the Hollander Road cleanup, <br />which will be commencing in the near future. <br /> <br />McMillan commented that one of the neighbors has complimented the City on the cleanup. <br /> <br />*13.
