Because the controller of the City of Romaine had resigned, the assistant controller attempted to compute the cash required to be derived from property taxes for the General Fund for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006. The computation was made as of January 1, 2005, to serve as a basis for establishing the property tax rate for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006. The mayor of Romaine has requested you to review the assistant controller's computations and ob- tain other necessary information to prepare for the City of Romaine General Fund a formal estimate of the cash required to be derived from property taxes for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006. Following are the computations prepared by the assistant controller: City resources other than proposed property tax levy: Estimated General Fund cash balance, Jan. 1, 2005 Estimated cash receipts from property taxes, Jan. 1 to June 30, 2005 Estimated cash revenues from investments, Jan. 1, 2005, to June 30, 2006 Estimated proceeds from issuance of general obligation bonds in August 2005 Total City resources General Fund requirements: Estimated expenditures, Jan. 1 to June 30, 2005 Proposed appropriations, July 1, 2005, to June 30, 2006 Total General Fund requirements Additional Information 1. The General Fund cash balance required for July 1, 2006, is $175,000. $ 352,000 2,222,000 442,000 3,000,000 $6,016,000 $1,900,000 4,300,000 $6,200,000 2. Property tax collections are due in March and September of each year. You note that during February 2005 estimated expenditures will exceed available cash by $200,000. Pending col- lection of property taxes in March 2005, this deficiency will have to be met by the issuance of 30-day tax-anticipation notes of $200,000 at an estimated interest rate of 12% a year. 3. The proposed general-obligation bonds will be issued by the City of Romaine Enterprise Fund to finance the construction of a new water pumping station.
