Welcome to the Monthly Financial Report for the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. Each month the Finance Department will provide you with a look into the City's finances.

Below you will find a comparison of budgeted General Fund revenues and expenditures for FY 2021-22 through June 30, 2022. Year to date, the City's General Fund has received $36.9 million of the $30.4 million budgeted revenue and spent $31.6 million of the $30.4 million budgeted for expenditures.

GENERAL FUND REVENUES

Through June, the General Fund has received just over $36.8 million in revenue, approximately $6.6 million (22%) more than the $30.2 million that was received at this point last year. The largest contributing factor to this variance is the improvement in Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue caused by the increase in demand for leisure travel across the state. Just over $6.1 million in TOT revenue was received at the end of June as compared to $3.1 million during FY 2020-21, an 98% increase.

Permits & Fees revenue also continues to outpace prior fiscal year numbers with $3.3 million in revenue, $1.3 million (66%) more that the $2 million received during FY 2020-21. Permits & Fee revenue experienced a decrease during FY 2019-20, but saw a partial recovery during last fiscal year and is trending towards pre pandemic numbers this fiscal year. Additionally, Property Tax revenue is up by $660,000 (4.4%) with $15.7 million in revenue compared to $15.1 million during FY 2020-21.

Lastly, revenue from Golf Tax and Rentals / Leases are two sources that performed exceptionally well. So far this fiscal year, Golf Tax revenue totals $733,500, a $100,700 (16%) year over year increase. Much like with Golf Tax revenue, revenue from Rentals / Leases has experienced a jump thanks to increased demand. Revenue from this source totals $607,000, a $289,000 (90.9%) year over year increase.

GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES

General Fund expenditures reached just over $31.6 million, roughly $5.4 million more than the $26.2 million spent at this same point last year. The largest contributor to this year over year change is spending on professional and technical services which accounts for around $10.6 million (34%) of total expenditures through June. Additionally, transfers out of the General Fund to other funds totals $3.6 million to date. The increase in transfers is attributed to the recovery of TOT revenues that are transferred out to the CIP fund. Salaries and Wages have also increased by 4.8% when compared year over year, primarily due to the return to previous staffing levels.
