Budget Revenue - Expenditure to Budget
Mid-March has our fiscal year-to-date revenues showing at 57% actual vs. Budget, which is slightly higher than last month's year to date.
There were minimal revenue collections in February, as typically, February trends lower for revenue activity. Expenditures continue to be on target with our budget plan at 68% total fiscal to date, which is right in line with 2/3rd of the reporting year complete, and no out-of-the-ordinary expenses to report.
