Budget Highlights

Fines, Forfeitures, and Special Assessments
Fines, Forfeitures and Special Assessments are mainly made up of traffic fines, general fines, parking fines, and
lost/overdue book fines. Revenues in this category are projected to decrease by $516k or 8.5 percent from the
FY2018 budget. This change is the primarily from adjustments to court related fees as legislative mandates and
reductions in various fines continue to impact these revenues.

Use of Money and Property
Revenue from Use of Money and Property consists primarily of interest on investments, commercial exhibit
building rentals and lease revenue. Revenues in this category are projected to decrease by $8k or 1.3 percent
from the FY2018 budget. The decrease is primarily due to changes in lease revenue.

Other Revenue
Other Revenues are mainly made up of reimbursement of labor costs and miscellaneous revenues. Revenues in
this category are projected to increase by $646k or 35.5 percent from the FY2018 budget. The increase is due to
the addition of revenues associated with the new expedited plan review team.

Operating Transfers
Transfer payments consist of revenues that are transferred from funds such as Solid Waste, Water and Sewer,
Stormwater, and Crime Control Prevention District to the General Fund. Revenues in this category are projected
to increase by $640k or 1.4 percent from the FY2018 budget. The Stormwater Utility and Solid Waste fund
transfers increase due to the requirement of funds for the budgeted Payment in Lieu of Taxes and street rental.
The Water and Sewer Fund increase is the result of rate increases for the Fund and customer growth for all funds.
The increase is offset somewhat by a decrease in the Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD) to the General
Fund to offset temporary staffing costs related to Police recruits.
