Mid-Year Budget Monitoring Report
The attached Mid-Year Budget Monitoring Report (Mid-Year Report) presents the City Council with a snapshot of General Fund, Enterprise Funds and Internal Service Funds expenditures and revenues through the first half of Fiscal Year 2020/2021, which began on July 1, 2020.

In order to continue this commitment, the public is being provided this first of several opportunities to comment and offer input on the City’s upcoming FY 2021/2022 proposed budget.
The City Manager’s Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2021/2022 is scheduled to be formally presented to the City Council on Monday, May 10, 2021. Prior to this date, there will be additional public comment opportunities currently scheduled throughout the month of March, and opportunities during the period the City Council discusses the proposed budget with City staff in May and June.
The public is also invited to submit comments and suggestions to the City at the following e-mail address: Budget.Priorities@culvercity.org.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The Mid-Year Report provides detail into General Fund revenues received and expenditures disbursed through December 31, 2020, as well as adjusted projections through the end of the Fiscal Year (to June 30, 2021). General Fund expenditures through December 31, 2020 are $65.59M, or 51.7% of current revised budget projections. Total FY 2020/2021 expenditures are estimated to be $126.85M.
General Fund operating revenues through December 31, 2020 are $37.5M, or 36.3% of current revised budget projections. Full year General Fund projections for Fiscal Year 2020/2021 show total estimated operating revenues at $107.4M, $3.93M more than the current revised budget total. Increases in Utility Users Tax, Sales Tax, Business Tax, contribute to the difference. Operating revenues are expected to meet or exceed operating expenditure requirements again for Fiscal Year 2020/2021.
All proposed mid-year adjustments are provided in detail in the attached FY 2020/2021 Mid-Year Budget Monitoring Report.
