Expense Report: see August 2021 Expense Report by Judy Shepard. Budgets should be at 66.66% or less.
Revenue Reports by Treasurerer Stacie Prada.
• General Fund at $15,003,144 – 68.5% of the 2021 budget year to date which is higher
than previous years. The second sheet shows general fund revenue charts showing
2015-2021 year to date detail and percentage of actual full year collections. Second Quarter appropriations are reflected in the budget.
• Other Funds at $27,789,904– 68.8,% of 2021 budget year to date which is a lot higher
than previous years. Budget appropriations are reflected, and fund 123 for Grant
Management was adjusted for ARPA funds received of $3.157 million.
• General Fund Cash Balance - $8.375 million at the end of August which includes the 3.7
million reserve.
• General Sales Tax Receipts - $565,446 which includes $123,789 for Special Purpose in
August 2021. Cumulatively, this is 24% over budget year to date. If it holds we’re forecasted for about $1.35 million over budget for the year.
• Sales Tax by Sector: Sales tax composition by category reflects funds receipted in June
for August distribution for all of Jefferson County including the City of Port Townsend.
• REET Receipts - Fund 302 - $305,424 in August which is 181% over budget and 87%
over what it was this month last year. We had a total of 45 sales over $500,000 with
eight properties selling in unincorporated Jefferson County for over $1 million. The top
two sales totaling $15 million were designated forest land on the west end. If it holds,
the projection is to come in $1.5 million over the original 2021 budget. • Hotel/Motel Lodging Tax – Fund 125 - $85,104 in August. This puts it 39% over budget
for the month. Year to date, revenue is 129% over budget, and if it holds, the projection
is to end the year $347,000 over budget.
