Gosnell said total cash and investments at the end of July were about $49.8 million (excluding pensions), with 12% in checking, 55% in money market accounts and 33% in investments. Through the first quarter, general-fund revenues reached roughly 27.5% of the annual budget, about 8.9% ahead of the seasonally adjusted budget and about 6% ahead of the same period last year.
The presentation highlighted sales tax growth — partly driven by legislative changes that brought more online retailers into the tax base — and stronger-than-budgeted food-and-beverage and hotel taxes. By contrast, amusement tax, driven in part by Six Flags, was 10.2% behind the seasonally adjusted budget and 12.7% below the prior year.
Gosnell told trustees that several expenditure variances were timing issues: large insurance premiums, some annual maintenance contracts and reimbursements that come early in the fiscal year push expenditures higher in quarter one. On the water and sewer side, year-to-date revenues were roughly 22.9% of budget and expenditures reflected timing related to capital payments, producing an anticipated $2.3 million budgeted reduction in fund balance.
Gosnell said the first-quarter numbers “don’t show anything that would affect next year’s general fund transfer and capital plan” at this point and offered to answer questions. No board action was required; trustees heard the report and had no substantive follow-up directives recorded.
Background: Gosnell said the quarterly report covers May 1 through July 31 and that more detailed materials would be posted online within a few days.
","Finance Director Bridal Gosnell told the Village of Gurnee Board on Sept. 22 that first-quarter FY2025–26 revenues are running about 8.9% ahead of the seasonally adjusted budget overall, while amusement tax and use tax trail expectations. The report noted timing-driven expenditure variances and no immediate threats to next year’s transfers.","actionData","errors"]
