Financial Overview
Jared Askelson explained to Board the expenditures are exceeding the revenues for this fiscal year. The fund balance is at $7.8M and has $2.5M over the required reserve. He reviewed the forecast for next year to show if there were no changes to the rates the fund balance would be below the required reserve over the next 5 years. He also reviewed the forecasts for the next 5 years with the increase at 3% for next year, 3% increase for year 2, 2.5% increase for year 3, and 2% increase for years 4 would cause the revenues to exceed the expeditures in year 5.
Boardmember Sandstrom asked if the required reserves included the IBNR and 2 months of claims. Jared confirmed that was correct and stated that as costs increase and the city grows, the reserves will also increase.
Board Chairman Balsan noted that a 3% increase is very good and well below the market.
Shelli Maggio stated the average industry trend is 9% and noted the impact of inflation on costs.
