Reports
Expense Report – FINAL 2016 Rose Ann
Explanation of 13th month types of expenses
Revenue Reports Stacie
General Fund at $608,618 – 3.4% of the 2016 annual budget which is in line with
previous years.
Other Funds at $1,696,447 – 5.4% of 2016 budget. Crime Victim’s Services is at
47% of budget for the year. The rest are too early in the year to tell. Crime Victim’s
Services is high due to 2016 residual expense.
General Fund Cash Balance - $4,360,809 which includes the $2.46 million budgeted
and required reserve. This is in line with our typical pattern over the last nine years.
General Sales Tax Receipts - Stacie reported on the sales tax, but it was different
than what was in the GF report. Stacie said she would review again and provide an
update following the meeting.
REET Receipts - $78,597 in January and 77% over budget for the month. Seven
single family residences sold for more than $500,000 of which one sold for $1.565
Million. Six of the seven were in Port Ludlow, and the one in Port Hadlock sold for
$925,000. We had roughly the same number of transactions as January 2016, but
REET receipts were 37% higher meaning the sale prices were higher.
Hotel/Motel Lodging Tax - $19,394 in January which is 4% over this month last year
and 15.3% over budget. It’s also the highest receipts we’ve had in January in the
last nine years.
