Monthly Report
May 31, 2019
Highlights:
General Fund
Overall the General Fund revenues are approximately$1.2 million above the expected amount at this
time. 96.6%of the property tax budget has been received and collections are expected to be slightly
above budget by year end.Industrial payments received this fiscal year are$700,000 above the budgeted
amount due to expansions at BASF and BASF TOTAL Petrochemicals(BTP). Sales tax collections
continue to trend below last year as expected. Sales tax through May is 8%below last fiscal year and 2%
below the current year budget. Utility franchise fees,which are made up of electric, gas,telephone and
cable categories are$200,000 above budget and miscellaneous revenue including interest earnings, land
sales and insurance proceeds have exceeded budgeted levels by$400,000.
Operating expenditures total $38.7 million at May 31,2019. Year to date actual is below the budgeted
level by$3.5 million with approximately$1 million of the savings in payroll due to 50 vacancies. Budget
amendments are requested throughout the year as needed so that the amended budget column will closely
reflect where we expect to be at the end of the year.
Water Fund
The Water Fund revenues reflect a$150,000 improvement over last month with a current budget shortfall
of$850,000. However,revenues are expected to reach budgeted levels of$27.9 million by year end, due
to higher revenues in the drier summer months. Water service charges received from industry continue to
trend up and are currently$760,000 over budget estimates. Residential and commercial revenue is$2 .
million under budget which is slightly better than last month.
Water Fund operating expenses are above budget by$810,000 at May,2019. There are currently 17
vacant positions however any savings has been offset by overtime in various divisions. Customer service
has exceeded budgeted levels in overtime and contract services by approximately$300,000 in order to
better assist customers with billing issues.
The Water Fund budget is balanced with a net budgeted revenue over expenses of$900,000. Year to date
actual currently reflects a net expense over revenue of$784,000,which reflects a$300,000 improvement
over April. Staff will continue to monitor the fund and work with the Water Department to develop cost
cutting measures, if necessary,to bring expenses back in line with available revenues.
Solid Waste Fund
Solid Waste revenues are currently lagging budget by $180,000. This is mostly attributable to Landfill
dumping fees which are$168,000 below the estimated amount. In FY18 we saw a significant increase in
Landfill fees due to Hurricane Harvey. The revenue estimate was reduced this year to FY 16 levels with
an increase of$750,000 for a new major customer. However,current revenues for the customer are still
below the projection with commercial container fees currently 6%above the budgeted amount.
Solid Waste Operating expenses currently are over budget by approximately$120,000. A pending budget
amendment in the amount of$200,000 is expected to alleviate this overage. Staff will keep the Council
updated on the efforts to keep costs in line with available revenues.
Pleasure Island Fund
Pleasure Island revenues are down$46,000 at this time and can be attributed to reduced rentals at the RV
Park. The original expense budget was amended by a total of$358,000 to cover the bulkhead repairs at
the Marina which began last year.
Capital Improvement Fund
This section includes street projects by district,other general improvements by type and available funding
sources for each. The total street program budget is$17.7 million,with funding provided through EDC
Street Maintenance, CDBG,GLO and prior year General Fund revenues. $6.7 million has been spent to
date on the current listed street projects. $2.3 million of that has been spent this fiscal year leaving a
balance of$11 million to complete the projects. General Improvement projects include building
renovations,technology upgrades and parks&recreation renovations. Expenditures on current projects
total $1.9 million with$353,000 spent this fiscal year and a balance remaining of$3.1 million.
Disaster Fund
At this time the Hurricane Harvey Disaster Fund has total revenues of$27.2 million and expenditures of
$34 million leaving a deficit of$6.8 million. Pending reimbursements of$1.8 million will reduce this
deficit to $5 million. The City continues to make every effort to capture as much Federal assistance as
possible. Property insurance claims remain outstanding.

(Chicago, Illinois)--Government Finance Officers Association is pleased to announce that City of
Port Arthur,Texas,has received GFOA's Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its budget.
The award represents a significant achievement by the entity. It reflects the commitment of the
governing body and staff to meeting the highest principles of governmental budgeting. In order to
receive the budget award, the entity had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective
budget presentation. These guidelines are designed to assess how well an entity's budget serves as:
• a policy document
• a financial plan
• an operations guide
• a communications device
Budget documents must be rated "proficient" in all four categories, and in the fourteen mandatory
criteria within those categories,to receive the award.
When a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award is granted to an entity,a Certificate of Recognition
for Budget Presentation is also presented to the individual(s) or department designated as being
primarily responsible for having achieved the award. This has been presented to Finance
Department.
There are over 1,600 participants in the Budget Awards Program. The most recent Budget Award
recipients, along with their corresponding budget documents, are posted quarterly on GFOA's
website. Award recipients have pioneered efforts to improve the quality of budgeting and provide an
excellent example for other governments throughout North America.
Government Finance Officers Association is a major professional association servicing the needs
of more than 19,000 appointed and elected local, state, and provincial-level government officials and
other finance practitioners. It provides top quality publications, training programs, services, and
products designed to enhance the skills and performance of those responsible for government finance
policy and management. The association is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, with offices in
Washington D.C.
