  • September 2019 Review
    2019-20 ORGANISATIONAL REPORT How we’re going with delivering services, activities and projects for SEPTEMBER our community penrithcity.nsw.gov.au FINANCIAL SERVICES MANAGER’S REPORT Executive Summary This report covers the first quarter of the 2019-20 financial year. It includes details of significant Variations, Reserve Movements and the status of Council’s Operating and Capital Projects compared to budget. Council projected a balanced Budget in the adoption of the original 2019-20 Operational Plan. As is often the case with this first review, the September quarter has presented some variations to the predicted annual budget. The most notable variations in this Review relate to savings associated with the Emergency Services Levy first year funding ($160,509) and salary savings ($139,975), which were offset by a lower than expected 2019-20 Financial Assistance Grant ($292,473) and an increase in Merchant Fees ($76,000). Compared to the phased budget, the overall 2019-20 Budget is generally in line with expectations, with a small surplus of $61,249 currently projected. All variations have been considered and, where a budget adjustment is required, details have been included in the Review. The following graph compares Council’s Adopted Budget to expectations by category: Actual vs Budget Comparison- September 2019 200 180 186 188 160 140 120 100 80 $ Millions 60 40 20 26 26 16 24 18 22 ‐ 14 15 Revenue Employee Costs Plant Materials Other Capital & Contracts Operating Expenditure YTD Actual YTD Budget Expenditure Budget Position The review recommends a number of both favourable and unfavourable adjustments to the adopted budget for 2019-20.
