In Fiscal Year(FY)2020,Municipal Golf Fund revenues totaled$5,082,729.76 and expenditures totaled$4,383,478.10 resulting in$699,251.66 in excess revenues over expenditures. At the end of FY2020,the total fund balance of the Municipal Golf Fund was$870,848.94.The FY2021 operating budget for the Municipal Golf Fund is$5,032,048.00,resulting in a required minimum fund balance of$838,842.40. The proposed $350,000.00 transfer from the Municipal Golf Fund would leave the fund$317,993.46 short of the required minimum fund balance. In accordance with the Governmental Funds Reserve Policy,a five-year financial plan has been developed to ensure the fund is in compliance of minimum fund balance requirements by FY2026. It is anticipated that the fund will contribute a minimum of$65,000.00 at the end of each fiscal year toward the fund balance. The table below outlines the available fund balance at the beginning of the prior fiscal year(FY2020)and projected on-going continuous fund balance contributions over the next five years to achieve the required minimum fund balance.
