STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES <br />The Statement of Activities tracks the City's yearly revenues and expenses, as well as any other <br />transactions that increase or reduce total net position. These amounts represent the full cost of providing <br />services. The Statement of Activities provides a more comprehensive measure than just the amount of <br />cash that changed hands, as reflected in the fund -based financial statements. This statement includes the <br />cost of supplies used, depreciation of long-lived capital assets, and other accrual -based expenses. <br />The following table presents the change in the net position (excluding the prior period adjustment) of the <br />City for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015: <br />Net (expense) revenue <br />Governmental activities <br />General government <br />Public safety <br />Highways and streets <br />Culture and recreation <br />Interest and fiscal charges <br />Business -type activities <br />Water utility <br />Sewer utility <br />Street light utility <br />Recycling utility <br />Storm water utility <br />Total net (expense) revenue <br />General revenues <br />Property taxes <br />General grants and contributions <br />Investment earnings <br />Gain on sale of capital assets <br />Total general revenues <br />Change in net position <br />Expenses <br />$ 4,528,920 <br />5,875,567 <br />3,826,143 <br />1,931,537 <br />890,305 <br />1,489,070 <br />1,438,141 <br />176,732 <br />359,418 <br />742,043 <br />2016 <br />Program <br />Revenues <br />$ 1,590,112 <br />1,044,090 <br />2,800,386 <br />785,667 <br />$ 21,257,876 $ <br />2,959,270 <br />1,995,035 <br />200,153 <br />375,152 <br />1,287,132 <br />13,036,997 <br />Net Change <br />$ (2,938,808) <br />(4,831,477) <br />(1,025,757) <br />(1,145,870) <br />(890,305) <br />1,470,200 <br />556,894 <br />23,421 <br />15,734 <br />545,089 <br />2015 <br />Net Change <br />$ 6,956,186 <br />(2,557,535) <br />(1,222,145) <br />(902,325) <br />(983,379) <br />1,477,854 <br />379,294 <br />27,806 <br />25,650 <br />393,545 <br />(8,220,879) 3,594,951 <br />10,674,696 <br />3,905 <br />606,225 <br />11,284,826 <br />$ 3,063,947 <br />10,064,621 <br />4,204 <br />807,895 <br />8,914 <br />10,885,634 <br />$ 14,480,585 <br />One of the goals of this statement is to provide a side -by -side comparison to illustrate the difference in the <br />way the City's governmental and business -type operations are financed. The table clearly illustrates the <br />dependence of the City's governmental operations on general revenues, such as property taxes and <br />unrestricted grants. It also shows that the City's business -type activities are generating sufficient program <br />revenues (service charges and program -specific grants) to cover expenses. This is critical given the <br />current downward pressures on the general revenue sources. <br />The change in general government reflects the recognition of developer reimbursements in the prior year <br />as previously mentioned. The swing in public safety was primarily due to increases in pension obligations <br />allocated to this function in the current year. <br />-16- <br />
