REPORTS (Item 15)
15. REPORT: 2nd Quarter Financial Report—Sara Lenehan, Finance Director.
Ms. Lenehan reported that as of June, the City had recognized 44.54% of the Annual
Revenue Budget, which compared to 48.29% at the same time one (1)-year prior, and
revenues were approximately $11.4 Million below budget and approximately $5.2 Million
below the same period one (1)-year prior. According to Ms. Lenehan, the original
charge for General Property Taxes, which was the assessment of real and personal
property from the prior year, was 4% higher than the previous year, although actual
collections slightly trailed the same period a year ago. Property taxes are due annually
in October.
Ms. Lenehan reported that through June, the Charges for Services Revenue trailed prior
year revenues by $2.37 Million, and declines in the Little Rock Zoo, Golf, Parks and
Recreation, the River Market and the Jim Dailey Fitness &Aquatics Center made up the
unfavorable variance, and primarily attributed to revenue lost during the months from
March through June associated with closures to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
Most charges for services revenues are seasonal with the heaviest concentration in the
spring and summer seasons. According to Ms. Lenehan, fines and fees collected in
January and February are usually related to fines assessed prior to the end of
December; therefore, depending on the date the fines were levied, the revenues were
accrued back to the previous year. In 2020, approximately $156,200 in court fines
collected in January and February were associated with tickets issued before December
31, 2019. The comparable adjustment for 2019 was $178,200. Excluding these
adjustments, fine revenues trail the same period a year ago by $364,000. The
unfavorable variance was primarily due to the suspension of court activities beginning in
mid-March due to the coronavirus. Traffic Court implemented a "virtual court cyber-
docket," and based on data received from State, County and local officials, they do not
plan to re-open for in-person hearings until October at the earliest.
Ms. Lenehan reported that the Blended Sales Tax Revenues for the second quarter
received in June, July and August decreased 3.34%, 2.65%, and increased 5.33%,
respectively, from the same period a year ago, and year-to-date results were 1.2%
above the prior year and 1.66% above budget. According to Ms. Lenehan, over the last
4
Little Rock Board of Directors Meeting
September 1,2020
6:00 PM
twelve (12) months, results had grown by 4.78%. The Fiscal Year 2020 Budget
estimated total Sales and Use Tax collections at $108,439,925, or $1,221,765 less than
the amount collected in the most recent twelve (12) months. The 2019 actual revenues
were adjusted to exclude approximately $1.06 Million in one-time revenues for the
purpose of forecasting revenue for the 2020 Budget. The one-time 2019 adjustments
were associated with audits performed by the State that resulted in a large adjustment to
December 2019 revenues received in February 2020 and the unusual receipts in June
2019 in the Electric Goods Wholesalers NAICS category. Utilizing the adjusted 2019
revenue of $107,935,567, the growth rate required to achieve the 2020 Adopted Budget
was 0.47%.
Ms. Lenehan reported that through the end of June, expenditures were at 46.40%,
compared to 50.87% one (1)-year prior, which was approximately $7.2 Million below
budget and approximately $8 million below the same period one (1)-year prior. In
addition to the 129 unfilled positions in the General Fund, as of the June 19, 2020, there
were sixty-seven (67) unfilled positions in the Street and Enterprise Fssunds for a grand
total of 196 authorized, but unfilled positions. According to Ms. Lenehan, the 129 vacant
positions included fifteen (15) Police Officers and three (3) higher level uniformed
positions (3 Sergeants).
Mayor Scott adjourned the meeting.
