Financial Update
Financial Statements/Budget Reconciliation June 30, 2021 Financial Statements are unaudited, data shows we expended 40.0% of our $29.4 million FY2021 Operating Budget and collected 43.8% of budgeted revenues for all funds.

Audit of the FY2020 Financial Statements is complete. The City received an unqualified, or clean, opinion, stating that the FY2020 Annual Financial Statements were presented fairly in all material aspects.
Sales Tax Revenue Report:
Sales tax revenue represents a large portion of the City's revenue source, 48% projected in the FY2021 overall budget. Fees & Service Charges represent 30% of projected revenue in the FY2021 overall budget. Although used for only on-time expenditures, Grants & Reimbursements represent 17% of incoming revenues in FY2021; Other Income representing 5%.

July 2021 Sales Tax receipts are $579,932 (23.7%) more than FY2020 receipts for the same period and $442,994 (17.2%) more that projected in the FY2021 Budget. Historically, the last six months of the year (July - December) we have collected 58%-60% of our annual sales tax during that time, with July most often the 2nd highest collection month (September - 1st highest, October - 3rd highest). If this trend continues, my forecast is showing we could possibly end FY2021 sales tax collection at 23%-25% above previous year collections.

Sales Tax Data Report for July 2021 HERE. The local sales tax receipts received from the State of Missouri for the month we indicate as July 2021 represents sales made by consumers in May 2021. Local sales tax is received by the State in the second month following purchases made by consumers. The sales tax receipts listed on the report represent the 1% general fund local sales tax received.

The City imposes a 2% sales tax on goods and services sold within the City limits. 1% is collected in the General Fund, 0.5% is collected in the Capital Improvement Tax (CIT) Fund, and 0.5% is collected in the Transportation Fund.
2021 ARPA Update - State and Local Recovery Funds
