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 />2018 and 2017: <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 />2018 2017 <br />Expenses <br />$ 5,078,516 <br />5,167,897 <br />4,191,395 <br />1,751,345 <br />883,292 <br />1,590,737 <br />1,523,670 <br />160,952 <br />380,055 <br />573,878 <br />Program <br />Revenues <br />$ 1,632,437 <br />1,453,197 <br />4,025,264 <br />1,467,776 <br />3,827,707 <br />2,490,715 <br />211,360 <br />389,011 <br />1,313,440 <br />$ 21,301,737 $ 16,810,907 <br />Net Change <br />$ (3,446,079) <br />(3,714,700) <br />(166,131) <br />(283,569) <br />(883,292) <br />2,236,970 <br />967,045 <br />50,408 <br />8,956 <br />739,562 <br />(4,490,830) <br />12,384,300 <br />102,994 <br />1,228,823 <br />75,047 <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 />13,791,164 12,092,609 <br />$ 9,300,334 $ 5,290,300 <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 />-16- <br />
