Operating revenues <br />increased by $708 thousand, while operating expenses were up $1.1 million over FY 2017-18. After non- <br />operating revenues (expenses), net position increased by $1.7 million, compared to $1.9 million in the <br />prior fiscal year. <br />Docktown Marina — The Docktown Marina fund realized an operating loss of $1.8 million in the current <br />fiscal year, slightly better than the operating loss of $2.2 million in the prior fiscal year. Operating <br />revenues decreased by $292 thousand, while operating expenses decreased by $723 thousand. During <br />FY 2018-19, the general fund transferred $4.5 million into the Docktown Marina Fund in relation to a <br />litigation settlement agreement to end residential uses at the marina. After non-operating revenues <br />(expenses) and transfers into the Docktown Marina fund, net position increased by $1.5 million, compared <br />to a decrease of $9.1 million in the prior fiscal year. In addition, during FY 2017-18, the parking fund and <br />equipment services fund loaned the Docktown Marina fund $1.7 million and $6.0 million, respectively. <br />During FY 2018-19, the Docktown Marina fund was able to repay the parking fund and equipment services <br />fund $850 thousand and $3.0 million, plus interest, respectively. It is expected that the Docktown Marina <br />fund will repay the parking fund and equipment services fund in full in FY 2019-20. <br />GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS <br />Property taxes exceeded budget by $8.4 million primarily due to the continued strength of the local <br />housing market and higher than expected Education Revenue Augmentation Fund revenues, including <br />one-time accelerated payments of this revenue stream. <br />Sales and other taxes were higher than budget by $1.3 million, primarily due to strong sales tax, transient <br />occupancy tax, property transfer tax, and business license tax revenues, but were partially offset by lower <br />than expected franchise tax and utility users' tax revenues. <br />Licenses and permits exceeded budget by $399 thousand due to higher than expected building permit <br />and cannabis permit and related fees. <br />Fines, forfeitures, and penalties exceeded budget by $108 thousand due to higher than expected parking <br />fines. <br />Use of money and property revenue exceeded budget by $1.7 million due to higher than expected rents <br />and concessions revenue, investment earnings, and a temporary increase in fair value of investments. <br />Intergovernmental revenue was less than budget by $109 thousand, primarily due to lower than expected <br />governmental grants and homeowners' property tax relief revenues received in the current fiscal year. <br />Charges for current services revenue exceeded budget by $3.1 million primarily due to fire service fees, <br />forfeited construction and demolition debris deposit revenue, and recreation program fees exceeding <br />expectations. <br />Other revenues exceeded budget by $109 thousand due to higher than expected miscellaneous revenues <br />and contribution from the Port of Redwood City. <br />16 51 <br />
