The City is 5 months into our fiscal year with our busiest months ahead of us. Financially, we have expended 22% of our $35.4 million operating budget and collected 27% of budgeted revenues. Sales Tax revenue represents a large portion of the City’s reoccurring revenue source, 41% in the FY2019 operating budget. Fees & Service Charges represent 25% of projected FY2019 revenue. One-time source grants and other one-time reimbursements, mostly tied to capital projects, represent the remainder of incoming revenues in FY2019. Through May 2019, sales tax collections are 1.5% more than FY2018 receipts for the same period. Historically, we collect over 57% of the year’s sales taxes in the last 6 months of the year.
The FY2019 Budget represents the priorities outlined and set forth by the Board of Aldermen and is a financially responsible plan for our resources to provide the superior services to our community while preserving appropriate financial reserves.

A Friendly Reminder from the Police Department
|
Wow, we are already into the month of June and we will soon be seeing firework stands popping up around the area in anticipation of the 4
th
of July holiday.
While fireworks are a way we celebrate Independence Day, fireworks are prohibited from being sold or discharged within the city limits of Osage Beach. Our City ordinance allows a permit to be obtained through the City Clerk’s Office to permit the discharge of fireworks upon meeting certain requirements, and approval by the Osage Beach Fire Protection District.
If you have any questions you may contact the Police Department at 573-302-2010 or the Osage Beach Fire Protection District at 573-348-1221.

Wildfires...? At the Lake of the Ozarks?!
Not at the level you see out in the West but we have had plenty of issues with leaves, vegetation, etc. being next to structures and causing fires. Dead leaves, brush, landscape materials and general debris are the primary concerns around the lake. In addition, being at the lake, there are a lot of creative storage areas used that provide fuel for deck/structure fires (plastic, inflatable mattresses, ski tubes, etc.); they burn good and HOT!
We are also faced with emergency responder access challenges such as houses not being clearly marked with legible address numbers and street names, narrow, winding driveways that should be at least 12 feet wide with vertical clearances of 15 feet. However, due to the terrain at the lake, at times, this is next to impossible. Thus, all efforts to improve emergency responder access are appreciated and can prove very beneficial in critical situations.
With so many families descending upon our City this time of year, cleaning up storm debris and burning leaves around second homes (many in close proximity to neighboring properties), this is a perfect time for us all to implement added safety measures to improve responder access and reduce wildfire occurrences.
