Highlights from the FY12 CAFR include:

  • The assets of the City of Muskegon exceeded its liabilities by $133,007,035 as of June 30, 2012. Of the total net assets, $21,798,286 (16.4%) was unrestricted and may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
  • The City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balance of $13,438,058, an increase of $2,511,718 (23%) from the prior year. The increase is attributable to the receipt of proceeds from a $2.0 million bond issue for street projects and to favorable General Fund operating results.
  • For the year ended June 30, General Fund revenues 2012 were $353,135 higher than the final amended budget estimate. This positive revenue variance is due to higher than expected local income tax and state shared revenues.
  • General Fund expenditures were $297,286 less than projected in the amended budget. Most city departments spent less than expected due to a combination of 1) tight budget controls, 2) conservative budget projections and, 3) cost savings realized from budget cuts made in the prior year.
