Loading...
Summary
City finance staff presented the February financial report showing revenues and expenditures in line with budget and announced the city received its fifteenth consecutive Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting.
City finance staff presented the February financial report at the April 24 meeting, showing general fund revenues and expenditures in line with the prior year and with budgeted amounts. Lisa Roth presented the slides and explained restricted revenues such as building-permit fees and stormwater funds, and noted that road impact fees are lower this year compared with the prior year due to fewer new-construction permits.
Roth described the city’s pay-as-you-go approach to many capital improvements, explaining that the city accumulates cash in planning stages and spends when projects enter construction. She also reminded council of the 2026–27 budget calendar and upcoming schedule adjustments required by Florida statute.
Council and staff celebrated the city’s Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting; Roth said the award — the highest level of recognition for financial reporting — has been received for the fifteenth consecutive year.
Council members congratulated Roth and the finance team and accepted the report. No formal action beyond the report presentation was recorded in the meeting minutes.
The city will continue to monitor revenue categories such as road impact fees and will present budget work sessions beginning June 17 as part of the 2026–27 calendar.
