Analysis

The FY 2015/2016 Budget for the Cemetery Fund provided $934,540 in revenues and $886,914 in total appropriations.  For FY 2015/2016, increases in Section Sales, Marker Sales, Internment Fees, and Burial Box Sales led to a $74,040 increase in revenues over the approved budget; revenues from Mausoleum, Columbarium, and Miscellaneous segments fell short of the budget by $21,054.  The net increase in total revenues was $52,986 for FY 2015/2016.  The incremental revenue increases in these areas also required added cost mainly in supplies; labor cost increases were a result of a staff changes throughout the year at the management level.  Savings in services and capital outlay help offset the added costs in supplies and labor.  Accordingly, total expenditures of $887,610 exceeded the FY 2015/2016 appropriations by $424.  The net change between the added revenues and increased appropriations is a net $52,562 increase to the Ending Resources in the Cemetery Operating Fund (3190).

 

This item was presented and recommended without objection to City Council by the Finance & Government Committee on February 7, 2017.
