5 <br /> Solid Waste Fund <br /> Solid Waste revenues are 12.6% of the total revenues as compared to 14.1%the prior fiscal year. The solid <br /> waste program fee of$142 is billed as a line item on the Property Tax bill, therefore the solid waste collection <br /> performance will generally mirror the property tax collection performance. As noted previously, peak Tax office <br /> collections occur by the end of December therefore the first quarter revenues of$1.4 million versus <br /> expenditures of$4.2 million is not a concern; reserve balances fund the first quarter imbalance. Solid waste <br /> expenditures are 33.3% of total expenditures as compared to 36.9%the prior fiscal year. <br /> Visitors Bureau Fund <br /> Visitors Bureau revenues are 18.1% of budget as compared to 23.3%the prior fiscal year. The revenue versus <br /> expenditure lag is a timing variance. The hotel/motel lodging revenue base has continued to perform well as <br /> measured by Gross Lodging revenues, Occupancy rates and Average Daily Room rates. The County occupancy <br /> tax rate is set at 3% on the gross receipts from the rental of any room, and lodging or similar accommodation in <br /> the County subject to sales tax under G.S. 105-164.4(a)(3). Remittances are due to the Tax Office by the 15th of <br /> each month. Tax revenues are used to promote the tourism sector. <br /> Functional Leadership Teams by Department <br /> Community Services - Animal Services, NC Cooperative Extension, DEAPR, Economic Development, Orange <br /> Public Transportation and Planning. <br /> General Government- Board of Elections, Clerk to the Board, County Attorney, County Manager, Register of <br /> Deeds and Tax Administration. <br /> Public Safety—Courts, Emergency Services, Criminal Justice Resource Department, and Sheriff's Office <br /> Human Services— Department on Aging, Child Support, Housing, Human Rights, and Community Development, <br /> Library, Public Health, and Social Services. <br /> Support Services-Asset Management Services, Community Relations, Finance, Human Resources, and <br /> Information Technology. <br /> Thanks to the Budget and Accounting Offices for their support in the preparation of this quarterly report. <br /> cc: Bonnie Hammersley, County Manager <br /> Travis Myren, Deputy County Manager <br /> Department Directors <br /> 5 <br />
