Agenda Item Summary:
The attached April 2024 Treasury Report includes a breakdown of the City’s $216.2 million in funds. As of the end of April, 72% of the City’s available cash is invested in fixed rate instruments as authorized by state statute.

The other attachments illustrate the total cash reserves and designated and undesignated balances for the General Fund. The City’s General Fund Undesignated Cash Reserve improved in April, though it still is negative at ($2.0 million). However, typical with municipal cash flows, April is typically the lowest point in cash balances. This is due to the first round of property tax receipts not being received until May and the significant summer tourist sales have yet to begin. However, this does demonstrate that the City does not have a surplus of undesignated funds. Future supplemental appropriations will be necessary as a result of Union negotiations. It is imperative that the City seek to reduce the growth in the expenses within the General Fund while increasing revenue growth.
