FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 FIRST 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.
While the Finance Department has historically reviewed financial information internally, this
information has not been formally compiled for presentation to the City Council. Establishing
quarterly reporting represents a significant step toward aligning the City's financial practices
with GFOA guidance, strengthening transparency, and enhancing oversight of the City’s
finances.
Quarterly reporting 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 and but also promotes accountability and transparency.
In keeping with these best practices, the Finance Department has prepared the City’s
FY 2026/27 Quarter 1 financial report as of September 30, 2026, which is attached for
the City Council's review. The report provides fund balances, revenues, and expenditures
for FY 2026/27 through the end of the first 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 can 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. The practice demonstrates the City's commitment to
sound financial management, transparency, and adherence to GFOA’s recognized best
practices in governmental finance.

FY 2026/27 Quarterly Financial Summary
Period Ending September 30, 2026
Introduction
The following reports summarize the City’s revenues, expenditures, and fund balances for the
first quarter of FY 2026/27.
It should be noted that the “Fund Balance 6/30/26” amounts for each fund (the first column in
the fund balance report) are still unaudited numbers at this point. The balances could change
because of late revenue or expenditure accruals as well as other audit adjustments. The
balances will be updated in future quarterly reports.
A few other explanations for the “Fund Balance 6/30/26” column are included below:
- Many of the funds with negative balances at the beginning of the year are construction or
grant funds with expenditures in FY 2025/26 for which reimbursement was not 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, Water
Construction, Sewer Improvements, and Stormwater Improvements. It is common for
expenditures and reimbursements in these types of funds to cross fiscal years and the
reimbursements will be received in FY 2026/27.
- 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.
Listed below are some explanations for fund balances at the end of the first quarter of FY
2026/27:
- Some funds that support capital projects are currently showing balances that may be
larger than anticipated. These funds, including Local Option Sales Tax, Road Use Tax,
New Animal Shelter Donations, Winakor Donation, Council Priorities, and the Utility funds,
show higher balances due to the timing of the capital projects budgeted in those funds.
- Many grant and construction funds continue to show negative balances at the end of the
first quarter of FY 2026/27. These funds include Public Safety Donations and Grants,
Parks and Recreation Grants, Street Construction, Airport Improvements, Water
Construction, Sewer Improvements, and Stormwater Improvements. The
reimbursements for the capital expenditures in these funds will be received in FY 2026/27.
- Three internal service funds (Fleet Services, Information Technology, and Shared
Communications) show negative fund balances at the end of the first quarter because
their first quarter expenditures have not yet been reimbursed by the departments they
support.

Revenues
The adjusted budget for revenues is unchanged from the adopted budget. The first FY
2026/27 budget amendment approved by City Council in September was for expenditures
only. Overall revenues on 9/30/26 were at 32.8% of the adopted amount for FY 2026/27. This
is higher than would be expected at the end of the first quarter, since many revenues, such
as utility payments, Local Option Sales Tax, and Hotel/Motel Tax, are received at the end of
periods. It is more typical for the revenues at the end of the first quarter to be less than 25%
of the budgeted amount for the fiscal year.
The revenue at the end of the first quarter of FY 2026/27 is higher largely due to the issuance
of General Obligation bonds in September. In the General Obligation Bond fund, the projected
revenue for FY 2026/27 is $24,227,686. Revenue of $24,053,120, or 99.3%, has already been
received. Similarly, in the Resource Recovery Improvements Fund, the projected revenue
from the issuance of bonds was $15,117,620. Due to the increased cost of the project, the
actual revenue received by the end of September was $22,224,924, 147% of the budgeted
amount.
Other revenue items to note:
- The revenue in the New Animal Shelter Donations fund is significantly lower at the end of
the first quarter of FY 2026/27 than at the end of the first quarter of FY 2025/26. This is
due to the fundraising campaign that was at its peak in FY 2025/26. Some donations
continue to be received, however, which can be seen in the FY 2026/27 actuals column.
Nothing was budgeted to be received in FY 2026/27, but a projected amount will be added
as part of this year’s budget process.
- The $24,053,120 in revenue in the General Obligation Bonds Fund is due to the issuance
of bonds on September 15, 2026. The revenue amount is significantly higher than at the
end of the first quarter of FY 2025/26 because the FY 2025/26 general obligation bonds
were not issued until October 14, 2025.
- The Sewer Utility Fund’s revenue is lower at the end of the first quarter of FY 2026/27
than at the end of the first quarter of FY 2025/26. This is due to an FY 2025/26 first quarter
billing to NADC for a $2,126,036 prepayment for their contribution to the improvements
at the WPC facility.
- Electric Utility revenue is at 32.2% of its projected FY 2026/27 total. That is higher than
would be expected at the end of the first quarter because revenue from utility billings is
received at the end of billing periods. The higher-than-normal revenue is due to the
repayment of a $7,100,000 loan that was made at the end of FY 2025/26 to the Resource
Recovery Improvements Fund. The loan was made to provide cash for the R3C project
until bonds could be issued. Once the bond proceeds were received in September, the
loan was repaid to the Electric Utility Fund.
- The Stormwater Improvements Fund is showing a negative $25,000 revenue because
grant revenue was accrued in FY 2025/26 but not received. The revenue accrual was
reversed in FY 2026/27 to offset the revenue when it is received, since it was already
recorded as revenue in FY 2025/26.
5
- The $22,224,924 in FY 2026/27 revenue in the Resource Recovery Improvements Fund
is from the issuance of bonds for the R3C project. A similar bond issue did not occur in
FY 2025/26.
- Recycling revenue is being shown for the first time in the Recycling Services fund. At the
end of the first quarter of FY 2026/27, the revenue is at 21.4% of what was projected for
the year, showing that revenue in the fund is keeping pace with what was projected for
this new service.
- 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 $68,529 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 2026/27 so the revenue would not
be overstated in the current year when the invoices are processed.
Expenditures
The FY 2026/27 adjusted budget for expenditures includes the amounts adopted in the FY
2026/27 budget and the amounts included in the first amendment to the FY 2026/27 budget
approved by City Council in September. A significant portion of the amounts included in the
amendment are carryover amounts for capital projects that were incomplete at the end of FY
2025/26.
Actual expenditures at 9/30/26 are at 16.8% of adjusted budgeted expenditures. None of the
expenditures seem out of line with what would be expected at this point in the fiscal year.
Some negative expenditures can normally be seen in the first quarter of every fiscal year.
These negative expenditures are typically related to retainages for capital projects that have
not yet been paid but need to be accrued to the prior fiscal year because the retainages relate
to work that was performed in the prior fiscal year. The retainage accrual is then reversed in
the current fiscal year to offset the actual retainage payment since the expenditure was
already recorded in the prior year. These negative expenditures can be seen in the Indoor
Aquatic Center Donations Fund, the Council Priorities Capital Fund, the Furman Aquatic
Center Trust Fund, and the Water Construction Fund.
Other expenditure items to note:
- Expenditures in the Capital Projects Fund group are lower at 9/30/26 than they were at
9/30/25. This is simply due to the timing of capital projects that are in progress during
each quarter.
- Electric Utility expenditures are significantly higher than they were at the end of the first
quarter of FY 2025/26. This is due to the $18,759,137 payment that was made in
September to Wartsila for the engines for the new Ames Municipal Energy Center
(AMEC). It should also be noted that the Electric Utility FY 2026/27 budget has been
increased from $92,714,590 to $141,066,564, largely due to the increased cost and the
scheduling of the payments for the AMEC project.
6
- Significant FY 2026/27 expenditures are being shown in the Resource Recovery
Improvements Fund. While some of the expenditures are related to the R3C project,
$7,100,000 of the total is a loan repayment to the Electric Utility Fund. The Electric Utility
Fund loaned the funding to the Resource Recovery Improvements Fund at the end of FY
2025/26 to cover the project costs until the bonds that provide funding for the project could
be issued.
- Expenditures can be seen for the first time in the Recycling Services Fund as the new
service began operation on July 1, 2026.
- Expenditures in the Information Technology Fund are at 34.2% of the total budget for FY
2026/27 due to the July 1 payment of many of the software contracts for the fiscal year.
The expenditures are also higher compared to the first quarter of FY 2025/26 due to the
increased cost of software subscriptions and network-related services. These same
factors can be seen affecting expenditures in the Shared Communications Fund, which
accounts for the revenues and expenses of the MAPSG system.
- The Risk Management Fund is at 64.2% of its 2026/27 budgeted expenditures because
the renewals for property insurance, liability insurance, flood insurance, and other types
of insurance are annual payments that are made at the beginning of the fiscal year.
