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 /> 2021 and 2020: <br /> 2021 2020 <br /> Program <br /> Expenses Revenues Net Change Net Change <br /> Net(expense)revenue <br /> Governmental activities <br /> General government $ 4,568,229 $ 1,731,054 $ (2,837,175) $ (4,167,472) <br /> Public safety 6,363,724 1,723,429 (4,640,295) (4,913,307) <br /> Highways and streets 4,686,416 4,593,734 (92,682) 175,140 <br /> Culture and recreation 1,834,153 1,386,439 (447,714) (1,473,010) <br /> Economic development 2,140,267 — (2,140,267) (481,858) <br /> Interest and fiscal charges 883,504 — (883,504) (839,444) <br /> Business-type activities <br /> Water utility 1,772,358 4,873,121 3,100,763 1,722,354 <br /> Sewer utility 1,742,380 3,099,744 1,357,364 535,392 <br /> Street light utility 178,576 222,364 43,788 47,082 <br /> Recycling utility 507,067 503,047 (4,020) (600) <br /> Storm water utility 715,349 1,854,728 1,139,379 700,099 <br /> Total net(expense)revenue $ 25,392,023 $ 19,987,660 (5,404,363) (8,695,624) <br /> General revenues <br /> Property taxes 14,761,012 13,744,948 <br /> Franchise fees 2,071,476 423,045 <br /> General grants and contributions 2,963 2,053,933 <br /> Investment earnings(charges) (385,036) 2,427,076 <br /> Gain on sale of capital assets 22,325 2,372 <br /> Total general revenues 16,472,740 18,651,374 <br /> Change in net position $ 11,068,377 $ 9,955,750 <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, for the most part, the City's business-type activities are generating <br /> sufficient program revenues (service charges and program-specific grants) to cover expenses. This is <br /> critical given the current downward pressures on the general revenue sources. <br /> The change in net (expense) revenue presented in the table above, when compared to the prior year, is <br /> primarily due to the amount of developer contributions and capital grants recognized from year-to-year. <br /> These contributions fluctuate with the size and number of completed development projects. The City's <br /> spending of federal CRF funding that was reported in general revenues, also impacted the comparison to <br /> prior year,as presented in the above table. <br /> -15- <br />
