FISCAL YEAR 2025/26 SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL REPORT
BACKGROUND:
Governmental accounting best practices emphasize the importance of timely and periodic
financial reviews throughout the fiscal year. The Government Finance Officers Association
(GFOA) specifically recommends that governments conduct interim reviews to ensure data
accuracy, identify variances as they occur, and give decision-makers the information they
need to respond promptly to emerging trends. Established quarterly reporting aligns the City's
financial practices with GFOA guidance, strengthening transparency, and enhancing oversight
of the City’s finances.
Quarterly reporting also supports more effective budget monitoring by enabling the City to
evaluate revenues and expenditures as they occur rather than waiting until year-end. This
proactive approach ensures that unexpected changes can be addressed in time to protect
service delivery. It also provides comparative and trend data, which are essential for
evaluating financial performance, understanding the causes of variances, and supporting
informed decision-making by elected officials. Regular reporting not only improves financial
management, but also promotes accountability and transparency.
In keeping with these best practices, the Finance Department has prepared the City’s
FY 2025/26 Quarter 2 financial report as of December 31, 2025, which is attached for the
City Council's review. The report provides fund balances, revenues, and expenditures for FY
2025/26 through the end of the second quarter, along with comparative information from the
prior fiscal year. The quarterly report will serve two purposes: it will offer the City Council a
clear picture of the City’s financial position during the year, and it will function as an internal
monitoring tool for the Finance Department to identify inaccuracies, anomalies, and
unanticipated changes in financial activity.
OPTIONS:
Should the City Council desire additional or more detailed information, staff should be directed
to include that information in a future report.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The Finance Department has made quarterly reporting a standard practice. Reports will be
provided after each quarter of the fiscal year, with accompanying analysis to highlight major
findings and explain significant variances. This practice demonstrates the City's commitment
to sound financial management, transparency, and adherence to GFOA’s recognized best
practices in governmental finance.

FY 2025/26 Quarterly Financial Summary
Period Ending December 31, 2025
Introduction
The following reports summarize the City’s fund balances, revenues, and expenditures for the
second quarter of FY 2025/26.
Fund Balances
The “Fund Balance at 6/30/25” amounts for each fund (the first column in the fund balance report)
have been updated from the first quarter report as the audit is now nearly complete. If the balances
change due to audit adjustments, the balances will be updated again in the third quarter report.
Other explanations for the “Fund Balance at 6/30/25” column:
- Many of the funds with negative balances at the beginning of the year are construction or grant
funds with expenditures in FY 2024/25 for which reimbursement wasn’t received by the end of
the fiscal year. These funds include Public Safety Donations and Grants, the CDBG Program,
Parks and Recreation Grants, Street Construction, Sewer Improvements, and Stormwater
Improvements. It’s common for expenditures and reimbursements in these types of funds to
cross fiscal years and the reimbursements will be received in FY 2025/26.
- The Special Assessments fund traditionally has a negative beginning balance. When
assessments are created to cover the cost of debt issuance, the principal and interest
payments for the debt begin immediately. The assessment revenue received to cover the cost
of the debt, however, is collected over time. The fund’s negative balance will be resolved over
time as the assessments are collected.
Explanations and comments for the “Quarter 2 Ending Balance” column:
- Many of the funds with negative or very small balances (CDBG Program, HOME Program,
Parks and Recreation Grants, Street Construction, Airport Improvements, Water Construction,
Sewer Improvements, and Stormwater Improvements) are funds where the revenue is
received on a reimbursement basis after the expenditures have been incurred. The negative
balances are normal and will be resolved when the reimbursements are received.
- The Special Assessments fund will continue to be negative until the assessments have been
collected through property taxes.
- The New Animal Shelter Donations fund has a balance of $2,423,445 at the end of the second
quarter as donations have been received, but construction of the new shelter hasn’t started.
The adopted balance of zero was assuming that all donations received would be expended by
the end of FY 2025/26.
- Many funds have higher balances at the end of the second quarter compared to their projected
balances at the end of the fiscal year (Local Option Sales, Tax, Road Use Tax, Council
Priorities Capital Fund, and G.O. Bonds, for example). These funds all contain funding for
capital improvement projects, and the timing of the expenditures is dependent on the project
schedules.
4
- Sinking funds (Water, Sewer, and Electric) have higher balances at the end of the second
quarter compared to their projected ending balances because principal payments in these
funds aren’t scheduled until June 1.
- The Parking Operations fund is being monitored as its revenues have not been covering its
expenditures for several years. At the end of the second quarter, revenues are at 46.5% and
expenditures are at 43.8% of their projected amounts. Revenues exceeded expenditures at
the end of the second quarter, and the fund balance is at 94.8% of the projected balance for
the end of the year. This fund will continue to be monitored to make sure that this positive
trend continues for the remainder of the fiscal year.
- The Transit Operations fund balance is lower than the fund’s projected balance because much
of its operational funding is from federal and state grants which are received on a
reimbursement basis.
Revenues
The adjusted budget for revenues is unchanged from the adopted budget. The first FY 2025/26
budget amendment approved by City Council in September was for expenditures only. Overall
revenues on 12/31/25 were at 45.4% of the adopted amount for FY 2025/26. While it might seem
that revenues should be at 50% at the end of the second quarter, it should be noted that many
revenues are received at the end of periods, such as utility billings, Local Option Sales Tax, and
Road Use Tax.
Other items to note in the revenues:
- There is revenue in grant and donation funds that wasn’t included in the adopted budget or
was included at a lower amount. These revenue budgets will be revised in the FY 2025/26
adjusted budget and include Police Forfeiture, Public Safety Donations and Grants, Animal
Shelter Donations, New Animal Shelter Donations, and Parks and Recreation Donations.
- Many funds with revenues that are primarily grants (CDBG, HOME, Street Construction,
Airport Improvements, Transit Operations, and Transit Capital Reserve) have received a low
percentage of their revenue. This is normal since the revenue is received on a reimbursement
basis and is received when the reimbursement requests are submitted as expenses are
incurred.
- The Water Utility Fund’s revenue is currently at 56.5% of the fund’s projected total for the year
and is significantly higher than the revenue at 12/31/24. The higher revenue amount is due to
$2,269,643 received in October, November, and December as part of the PFAS settlement.
- The Sewer Utility Fund’s revenue is currently at 64.5% of the fund’s projected total for the year
and is significantly higher than the revenue at 12/31/24. This is largely due to a billing to NADC
for $2,126,036 for their prepayment of their contribution to the improvements at the WPC
facility.
- The Resource Recovery Improvements fund shows negative revenue of $227 because
expenses for the land purchase for the new Resource Recovery and Recycling Campus were
made in the fund. The bonds to cover the expenses, however, have not yet been issued.
Because the fund is currently in a negative balance, the fund is being charged interest in the
pooled cash and investment system.
- Some Internal Service funds (Information Technology, Technology Replacement Reserve,
and Risk Management) have significantly higher revenues at 12/31/25 than at 12/31/24. This
is because the journal entries to charge those services to City departments was done on an
5
annual basis in FY 2024/25. The entries are now being made quarterly so the revenues can
be reflected in the quarterly reports.
- The Shared Communications fund, which accounts for the revenues and expenses of the
MAPSG system funded through the City, ISU, Story County, and the E911 system shows
negative revenue of $85,497 at the end of the first quarter. The expenses in this fund are
reimbursed by the participating entities at the end of the calendar year, but an accrual is made
at the end of the fiscal year as a portion of the revenue is for January through June of the prior
year. The accrual was then reversed in FY 2025/26 so the revenue would not be overstated
in the current year when the invoices are processed. The negative revenue will be cleared in
the third quarter revenue report.
Expenditures
The FY 2025/26 Adjusted budget for expenditures reflects the amounts adopted in the FY 2025/26
budget and the amounts included in the first amendment to the FY 2025/26 budget approved by
City Council in September. A significant portion of the amounts included in the first amendment
are carryover amounts for capital projects that were incomplete at the end of FY 2024/25.
Actual expenditures at 12/31/25 are at 31.7% of adjusted budgeted expenditures. None of the
expenditures seem out-of-line with what would be expected at this point in the fiscal year.
An explanation of some expenditures:
- Funds that are primarily used to fund capital improvement projects have a lower percentage
of their budgets spent due to the timing of the projects. These funds include Local Option Sales
Tax, Road Use Tax, New Animal Shelter Donations, Street Construction, General Obligation
Bonds, Airport Improvements, and Transit Capital Reserve.
- Hotel/Motel expenditures are at 60.8% because Hotel/Motel Tax revenues have been higher
than budgeted so far this fiscal year. Since a large percentage of the receipts are a pass-
through to the Ames Regional Economic Alliance, the expenditures show as a larger
percentage as well.
- Police Forfeiture expenditures are at 219% due to several refunds of funding received as
evidence. The expenditure amount will be updated in the FY 2025/26 adjusted budget.
- The Fleet Services Reserve expenditures are at 100% because only two items were budgeted
in this fund. Both were transfers to the Fleet Replacement Reserve Fund and both transfers
have already been made.
- Shared Communications expenditures are at 78.9% percent because one of their largest
expenditures (a software support contract) has been made for the fiscal year.
- Risk Management expenditures are at 70.8% because a large portion of the fund’s
expenditures are one-time payments for insurance coverage made at the beginning of the
fiscal year.
