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 of the City for the years ended December 31, <br />2017 and 2016: <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 />2017 <br />Program <br />Expenses Revenues <br />$ 4,992,809 <br />5,782,563 <br />4,254,234 <br />2,384,845 <br />952,965 <br />1,396,021 <br />1,535,664 <br />159,378 <br />373,775 <br />633,101 <br />$ 928,448 <br />1,122,851 <br />4,200,375 <br />1,424,026 <br />3,498,670 <br />2,271,267 <br />204,418 <br />375,866 <br />1,637,125 <br />$ 22,465,355 $ 15,663,046 <br />Net Change <br />$ (4,064,361) <br />(4,659,712) <br />(53,859) <br />(960, 819) <br />(952,965) <br />2,102,649 <br />735,603 <br />45,040 <br />2,091 <br />1,004,024 <br />(6,802,309) <br />11,136,810 <br />3,586 <br />946,683 <br />5,530 <br />12,092,609 <br />2016 <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 />(8,220,879) <br />10,674,696 <br />3,905 <br />606,225 <br />11,284,826 <br />$ 5,290,300 $ 3,063,947 <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 shift in the net changes presented above between the current and prior year reflects the change in <br />level of developer contributions as previously mentioned. <br />-16- <br />
