V. Review and Approval of 3rd Quarter Financial Report
Mr. Killgore reviewed the 3rd Quarter Financial Report. There were a few budget
adjustments that were approved by City Council during the quarter. They are listed on
Exhibit A (SEE ATTACHED). There was one other expenditure out of the R&R fund for
$1,148.00. He will be asking Council with the adoption of this Resolution to amend the
budget for that. There are the adjustments made by the City Manager also shown on
Exhibit A.
He reviewed the General Fund Summary, which shows the total revenues were 79.5%
collected. Expenditures were 69.2% expended.
CITIZENS BUDGET REVIEW ADVISORY COMMITTEE PAGE 2
MINUTES OF MEETING OF JULY 31, 2023
The General Fund Balance Forecast (SEE ATTACHED was also reviewed. He included
the expenditures that were made to date out of the R&R Funds
The American Rescue Plan Act, the Stormwater Fund Summary, the Airport Fund
Summary, the Golf Fund Summary, and the Building Fund Summary were also reviewed
(SEE ATTACHED). Regarding the Golf Fund Summary, it shows expenditures of 53% of
the budget. A large part of that is because of the purchase of new golf carts. We have
not paid for those carts as yet, and we are in the process of selling the old carts. Those
funds will come back to the Golf Course as well.
Mr. Killgore reviewed the Fund Summaries and the Quarterly Investment Report which
shows that the City's monies are with Seacoast National Bank ($20,279,101.54) and the
State Board of Administration ($4,045,948.33). Also on this page are the Interfund Loans
Report and the Debt Due to Outside Parties (SEE ATTACHED). The' balance of the
reports shows the accomplishments and reports for all the departments.
Mr. Killgore called for questions/comments from the Committee members.
Mr. Hoffman -- Asked regarding the ad valorem tax collections of 98.7%, and he asked
if that is as high as the City has ever been. Mr. Killgore stated there is probably another
$10,000.00 or $20,000.00 that has come in since the amount shown was received.
Mr. Hoffman asked why the stormwater fee and the ad valorem taxes do not line up with
percentages, as they both come on the same bill. Mr. Killgore stated the tax roll for
stormwater is a certain amount. The City collects that amount minus 2% that goes to the
Tax Collector.
Mr. Hoffman asked regarding the building fund summary, licenses and permits — the
revenue is only 55.6% of the budget. Mr. Killgore states that licenses and permits
includes business licenses. Business licenses is due in October, so the bulk of those
payments comes in at the end of August and into September.
Mr. Hoffman asked how City Council reacted to our recommendation to increase the
stormwater fee. Mr. Benton answered this question. He stated he is not comfortable that
we have enough time to do an assessment on how much we have to increase the
stormwater fees even $2.00, provide Council with an assessment, and go through the
formal process of the Resolution. There are some questions as to whether we have to
adjust an ordinance, as it was done by ordinance previously. He suggested that at this
time we hold back on that and then proceed with doing a full assessment to be prepared
for next fiscal year. Mr. Hoffman agreed.
Mr. McGinn -- Asked regarding the golf course report, it shows the range netting
budgeted at $88,000.00, but none paid. He thought we had already installed that. When
j
CITIZENS BUDGET REVIEW ADVISORY COMMITTEE PAGE 3
MINUTES OF MEETING OF JULY 31, 2023
you look at the Airport Summary, it shows range netting for $36,000.00. Is there range
netting charged to the airport that has something to do with different land? Mr. Killgore
explained that the $88,000.00 is for replacing the golf course netting. On the airport
property at the same time, we proceeded with $36,000.00 to replace a netting that
protected part of the airport property. It was not part of the driving range netting, but it is
on an adjacent lot. The actual expense will be shown on the next quarterly report. It
happened after June 30.
Mr. McGinn asked Mr. Benton, when staff is going over the stormwater fee, are you going
to look to see if we could do substantially more than $2.00 since we are going to push it
out another year. Mr. Benton stated that the plan is to do a full assessment on what we
anticipate our expenditures to be in future years, and what exactly we are going to need
after the Stormwater Master Plan is presented. We will have a lot more details and will
be better prepared to go forward the next fiscal year with a number that we think is
adequate to start those projects. Mr. McGinn asked if there is a goal set for when the
Stormwater Master Plan will be completed. Mr. Benton said the City has received a final
report from our consultant. Staff is reviewing the document, which is approximately 1,700
pages including all the appendices that are involved. We do anticipate in the coming
months to have a presentation before City Council. That will lead us into the potential
stormwater fee increase for next fiscal year.
Mr. McGinn asked regarding self-insurance and asked if there is another option where
you could greatly increase the deductible on those docks and thereby lower the premium.
Mr. Killgore explained that FEMA requires that we have insurance, the best insurance we
can find. Increasing the deductible if the insurer will write that kind of policy is a possibility.
He is going to be looking at that with the insurance broker. The problem is that we have
a very limited market of companies that will even insure docks.
Mr. McGinn asked if it would be appropriate to have one more meeting, given the fact that
they are now seriously looking at the final trim notice in the tax increase. Ms. Cerda stated
that, as a committee, we can ask for one more meeting. Mr. Killgore said we would have
to fit it into the City's calendar, and scheduling might be an issue. Mr. Hall stated that the
Committee members were in agreement on the millage recommendation, etc., and he
opined that, based on that, there is no need for another meeting.
Mr. Hall -- He asked Mr. Killgore to explain the dock self-insurance as it appears in the
fund balance. Is it fully funded out of the adjusted reserves and earmarked for self-
insurance, or is it projected as the amount that you want to work towards in the future.
Mr. Killgore said that was his plan basically, to have it funded out of the general fund for
two years and then switch the $3 million account to discretionary sales tax. He said he
has run into some issues as far as starting a self-insurance program. He has done some
research on this, and we would have to put these monies in a separate trust account. So
he is not certain that can be done. Mr. Hall asked if the $3 million is a real number right

now, as available if it were needed. Mr. Kiligore stated the budget has not yet been
finalized, so he is not sure. There was further discussion among Mr. Kiligore, Mr. Hall,
and Ms. Cerda regarding this matter, which Mr. Kiligore further explained.
Ms. Reed -- She said this projected budget is fine with her. She asked if there will be
another meeting before the final version is sent to City Council. Mr. Kiligore said there is
nothing in the formal budget calendar to have another meeting.
Ms. Cerda -- She is happy with the report.
There being no discussion, Ms. Cerda called for a motion to approve the Third Quarter
Financial Report. A motion approving the Third Quarter Financial Report was made by
Mr. Hail, seconded by Ms. Reed, and approved unanimously via voice vote.
VI. Adiournment
There being no further business, Ms. Cerda adjourned the meeting at 6:27 p.m.
