This report provides an analysis of the financial position of the City, where the revenues come from, where those dollars are spent, and an overview of local economic trends. My goal is to better communicate how the City is operating fiscally in a reader friendly financial publication. The financial information for this report has been taken from the 2013 City of Pickerington Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). The CAFR is comprised of 134 pages of detailed financial statements, notes, and schedules and 50 pages of statistical information. The CAFR was prepared in conformance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and audited by the CPA Firm, Wilson, Shannon, & Snow, Inc., receiving an unqualified opinion. An unqualified opinion means that the general purpose financial statements of the City are fairly presented in all material respects. The City of Pickerington’s PAFR is un-audited and presented on a GAAP basis. The CAFR contains more detailed information of all of the City’s funds and can be obtained from the Finance Department at City Hall or on the City web site at http://www.ci.pickerington.oh.us/Pages/Departments/Finance.

In addition, the City has historically utilized Mayor’s Court to prosecute delinquent income tax cases. $5,220,794 $5,029,644 2,546,124 2,431,640 Franchise Taxes 250,997 265,146 Grants and Entitlements 321,059 387,648 Investment Earnings 19,398 66,069 Payment in Lieu of Taxes 71,004 212,666 547,854 553,211 1,597,275 1,528,539 Operating Grants & Contributions 980,387 987,808 Sources of Revenue Definitions Capital Grants & Contributions 368,548 946,086 Miscellaneous 186,992 130,579 $12,110,432 $12,539,036 Income Taxes – The City levies a one percent income tax on all income earned within the City.

Expenses General Government 2013 2012 $2,580,817 $2,675,205 Security of Persons & Property 4,613,122 4,462,428 Transportation 3,056,389 3,232,743 Leisure Time Activities 715,567 647,569 Public Health Services 121,588 127,888 Community Environment 638,098 777,125 Interest and Fiscal Charges 291,767 353,602 $12,017,348 $12,276,560 Total Expenses Where the Money Goes During 2013, total expenditures decreased two percent compared to 2012. The decrease in expenses was primarily due to a decrease in transportation costs in the amount of $176,354 and a decrease in community environment costs in the amount of $139,027. During 2013, the City invested $539,000 in street resurfacing and $44,000 in crack sealing and pavement striping. During 2012, the City invested approximately $562,000 in street resurfacing and $89,000 in crack sealing and pavement striping, a difference of $68,000. In addition, during 2012 the City spent approximately $58,000 on traffic light repairs and $46,000 on engineering for the Center/Meadows/Milnor road realignment project. During 2013, the City only spent $14,000 on traffic light repairs, a decrease of $44,000 from 2012. The decrease in community environment costs is the result of the City analyzing and returning developers’ deposits in 2012 for projects that had become inactive. The deposits were to be utilized for future engineering and inspection services. Engineering and inspection services are now billed directly to the developer resulting in a decrease in costs.

This increase in revenues is due the stormwater charge increasing from $4.25 to $4.50. During 2013, aquatic recreation revenues decreased nearly 11 percent.
