Charges for services consist of revenue earned by the City in exchange for specific types of
services provided. Examples of services include ambulance service, mowing charges, engineering
inspection fees and parks and recreation fees. Revenues for FY19 are budgeted at $9.2 million and
reflect a decrease of $3.5 million (-28%) from the previous year as accounting changes will now
reflect the direct payment of health insurance costs by the respective operating fund rather than as a
transfer into the General fund.

Charges for fleet maintenance, insurance and technology equipment are assessed to non-General
fund departments as a cost of service provided. The Utility Enterprise, Convention & Visitors,
Lake Enterprise, Stormwater Drainage, Crime Control & Prevention, and Lake Parks funds are
charged for regular maintenance and repair of vehicles and heavy machinery. These outside funds
are also charged for costs associated with the acquisition, maintenance and replacement of
computers and other technology-related equipment. The sum total of these charges is $2.4 million.
Total charges for services in FY18 were $12.5 million and represent an 8% increase from the prior
year.
