 • Expenditures recognized in July: $647,342
 • Total expenditures YTD, including encumbrances: $5,246,235, below target by ~$1.4m (21%)
 • Primary drivers of lower spending:
 o Personnel costs below budget ~$424k, due to salary contingency budget being front-loaded early in the year, while
 actuals will increase as the year progresses due to timing of COLA & merit increases
 o Services & charges below budget ~$338k due to lower-than-anticipated spending in training, travel, building
 insurance, and contract services
 o Planned transfers to the IT and Facilities reserves (~$506k) have not yet occurred
 o Spending is expected to catch up as the year progresses

Operating (Fund 91) Balance Sheet Highlights:

 x Total liabilities: $670,506
 o The majority, ~$546k, represents amounts owed to other Foundation funds and to the Library
  Net amount owed to other funds is ~$348k
 o ~$109k is deferred revenue, which is mostly related to the capital lease agreement with the Library
 x Liabilities decreased by ~$45k (6%), primarily due to:
 o A decision to recharacterize amounts paid by fund 91 to fund 96 from transfers out to instead reduce amounts owed
 by fund 91 to fund 96 (~$41k)


Capital Campaign (Fund 96) Balance Sheet Highlights:

 x Pledge receivable balance decreased by ~$420 compared to last month due to pledge payments collected.
 x The amount due from fund 91 decreased due to the recharacterization of transfers discussed above.
 x Long-term debt decreased by $10k due to principal payments made. Loan balance is currently ~$292k. Staff continues to
 evaluate the balance owed, which is offset by cash and other assets in addition to pledges receivable.


Roof Fire Financial Update:

 x The Library currently has a total net loss of ~$196k related to the fire.
 x The Foundation received $714 in insurance proceeds to cover personnel and other fire-related expenses.
 x The Foundation has passed ~$80k in donations and ~$391k in insurance proceeds received to the Library.
 x No additional activity related to the roof fire is expected for the Foundation.
