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 />2019 and 2018: <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 />2019 2018 <br />Expenses <br />$ 5,139,352 <br />5,844,265 <br />4,442,720 <br />1,756,810 <br />845,651 <br />1,483,584 <br />1,631,260 <br />171,619 <br />380,192 <br />590,645 <br />Program <br />Revenues <br />$ 1,710,668 <br />1,488,109 <br />2,552,513 <br />1,023,871 <br />3,755,858 <br />2,354,229 <br />217,169 <br />387,150 <br />1,465,649 <br />$ 22,286,098 $ 14,955,216 <br />Net Change <br />$ (3,428,684) <br />(4,356,156) <br />(1,890,207) <br />(732,939) <br />(845,651) <br />2,272,274 <br />722,969 <br />45,550 <br />6,958 <br />875,004 <br />(7,330,882) <br />12,894,388 <br />5,617 <br />2,584,698 <br />8,428 <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 />15,493,131 13,791,164 <br />$ 8,162,249 $ 9,300,334 <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 />
