AB 99-63 Financial Analysis - Water, Sewer, and Golf Funds Ashley Royal presented the financial information for the Golf Course fund. He reviewed the prior-current-and ensuring year cash flows, net operating loss, net cash Minutes July 8.doc Page 3 of 6 provided by operations, and net decrease in cash. The fund showed a deficit beginning and ending cash for the current and ensuring years. The second fund reviewed was the Golf Clubhouse fund. The same elements were reviewed. Mr. Royal reported breaking this out from the Golf Course would be beneficial as this beginning and ending deficit could be resolved over time. He noted there was only 5 more years of debt on the bond. The Water Fund was reviewed. This fund's detail sheet showed the additions to the bond reserves that caused a deficit in the beginning and ending cash. At the end of the year 2000 the ending bond reserve would be about $1 million. Mr. Robertson commented that this data shows that the rate increase enacted last year improved the fund balances and reserve. The Sewer Fund wes the last reviewed. This fund was more complicated as there was the DEQ debt service and covenant to be considered. Because of the DEQ loan the fund would need to include these restricted funds. This fund will have a deficit in beginning and ending cash into the year 2000. Discussion took place on the various figures on the cash flow analysis sheet. Mr. Royal commented that the management transfers made this more complicated to calculate. Mr. Royal reported that something needed to be done to improve this fund. He felt during the upcoming budget process this fund should be a consideration.
