City explains general fund, campground and small revenue streams including cell‑tower rent
Summary
City staff reviewed the general fund's structure, explained payroll and internal service allocations, and highlighted revenue sources such as the Creekside Campground ($360,000/year), event fees and rental income from two cell-tower sites.
Presenter walked committee members through the structure of the general fund and how many administrative and departmental expenses are allocated across multiple departments rather than assigned to a single revenue source. They explained payroll allocation and described unique line items such as community service grants, planning fees and property rental income.
Presenter listed several specific small revenue streams that feed the general fund: "The Creekside Campground makes about $360,000 a year," event fees, and rent from two cell-tower sites in town where operators pay site rent and occasionally additional co-location fees. Presenter also flagged the law-enforcement contract as a large expenditure that is "supplemented largely by the transit lodging tax, which is over 1000000 dollars a year."
