Budget Highlights                                                         Revenue Highlights


            Building  on  a  multi-year  trend  in  the  City,  these  reductions  are  driven  by  a  decrease  in  traffic  fines  of  $1.1M
            (24.3%), an even greater decrease than that seen in the FY2023 budget.

            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.  Use  of  Money  and  Property  revenues  are  projected  to  increase  by
            approximately $8.4M, or 22.5%, from the FY2023 budget. The largest individual increase is in interest earnings
            (up over $2.2M from FY2023), but a variety of lease revenue streams constitute a significant portion of the overall
            growth in this revenue category.
            Other Revenue

            Other Revenues are mainly made up of reimbursement of labor costs and miscellaneous revenues. Revenues in
            this  category  are  projected  to  decrease  by  $11.6M,  or  7.4%,  from  the  FY2023  budget. Though  Miscellaneous
            Revenue continues to decrease (down $1.3M or 9.3% from FY2023) as more appropriate and descriptive revenue
            accounts  are  used,  this  decrease  is  offset  by  increases  in  accounts  such  as  Revenue  Sharing  ($2.6M)  and
            Recovery of Utilities, which increased by more than $2.4M and 110%.

            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 $27.1M or 12.4% from the FY2023 budget. This change was primarily due to an increase in the
            transfer  from  Water/Sewer  of  $16.3M,  or  12.3%,  which  is  received  as  a  street  rental  fee  from  the  Water
            department.
