Acceptance of Interim Financial Statements for the First Quarter of Motion by Councilmember Jacobsen, seconded by Councilmember Burg to accept the First 2016. Quarter 2016 Interim Financial Statements. City Manager Lotter indicated Finance Director Davitt would be presenting this item to the Council. Finance Director Davitt explained in an effort to keep the Council informed on the City's fiscal condition, a comparison of the 2016 revenues and expenditures for the period ending March 31, 2016 (unaudited) has been compiled. The comparison shown includes those programs and services that constitute the City's core functions for which changes in financial trends can have a near-term impact on the ability to maintain current service levels. Programs such as debt service and tax increment financing which are governed by pre-existing obligations and restricted revenues are not shown. In addition, expenditures in the City's Fleet and Non -Fleet programs are not shown as these expenditures are specifically tied to pre -funded asset replacement funds. These replacement funds are not susceptible to year-to-year fluctuations and therefore annual reviews are considered sufficient. The information is presented strictly on a cash basis which measures only the actual revenues that have been deposited and the actual expenditures that have been paid. This is in contrast with the City's audited year-end financial report which attempts to measure revenues earned but not collected, as well as costs incurred but not yet paid. It should be noted that many of the City's revenue streams such as property taxes, are non-recurring or are received intermittently throughout the year. This can result in wide revenue fluctuations from month to month. In addition, some of the City's expenditures such as new capital purchases are also non-recurring and subject to wide fluctuations. To accommodate these differences, a comparison is made to historical results to identify whether any new trends exist. She thanked the Council for allowing her to purchase the new financial management software. Staff reviewed the interim financial statements in detail with the Council and recommended approval.
