Happy New Year! In 2022, we had our challenges as well as our successes. Last
year’s motto was: Having a local government that is stable, reactive, and
progressive thinking brings a sense of security in these challenging times.
This year, it will be necessary to add adaptability to achieve our objectives. The
two definitions that come to mind are: the quality of being able to adjust to
new conditions and the capacity to be modified for a new use or purpose:
As we have reached mid-year 2022-23, now is a good time to see where we are
financially:
Equipment,
Budget v/s Actual EQ, supplies & services
$700,000
Supplies &
$600,000
$500,000
Services: $400,000
$300,000
Department Budget Actual
$200,000
General- Admin $245,634 $180,287
$100,000
Plan/Build/Zoning $1,500 $265 $0
Police $23,500 $10,787
Fire $606,158 $329,982
Highway $133,600 $77,217
Employee Benefits $253,623 $146,424 Actual Budget
The green target line is the budget, and the blue line is where we are now at the 6-month period. This chart represents
Equipment & Supplies purchased to date. The General-Administrative departments are past the 50% mark and will need
to monitor expenses for the rest of this fiscal year. The PBZ departments do not seem to require many expenses. The
Police, Fire and Highway departments are hovering around 50% Employee Benefit appears more than 50% because the
annual retirement payment was made in December and is not amortized out.
As always, it is important to understand that there still is much winter to go in terms of snow removal and street
maintenance and 6 more months of expenses
Payroll and
Salaries:
Department PR budget 15 PRs
General- Admin $123,290.00 $72,755.00
Plan/Build/Zoning $29,038.00 $13,484.00
Police $173,082.00 $74,977.00
Highway $216,614.00 $122,422.00
There are 26 pay periods, this chart represents 15 pay periods
or 58%. There is 42% remaining for this fiscal year. Remaining in
each department is:
General-Administrative – 41%
Planning/Building/Zoning- 57%
Police- 57%
Highway- 43%
General-Administrative department are slightly under the
percentage necessary to stay within budget. PBZ and Police
look good at this point. The Highway department is close to stay
within their budget; it will be important to monitor scheduling of
over-time. Kudos to the departments on maintaining
responsible payroll budgets.
Revenue:
Department Budget 6-mo
Taxes $1,058,120 $1,021,565
DC Sales/Mortgage Tax $90,000 $33,308
Franchise fee/Utility tax $60,500 $20,385
Fire Contract $604,529 $0
Court Fees $3,600 $2,305
PBZ fees $20,600 $4,670
other Revenue $101,106 $73,265
The above revenue chart shows revenue received at this 6-month mark.
Village taxes always look good as we receive them in June. We are
made whole in April (Unpaid taxes in November were sent to Dutchess
County in the amount of $36,555 for re-levy).
As last year was quite good for mortgage tax, we increased the budget,
and this year is not looking as lucrative. This is out of our control other
that analyzing trends and making the best estimates. The Fire Contract
with the Town of Washington for fire protection will be paid February.
Court fees look good. Planning/Building/Zoning departments are
quiet, and fees are down. Other revenues include cell tower rental,
department income and interest earnings, all are looking good. We
invested some tax savings and reserve accounts in NYCLASS (New York
Cooperative Liquid Assets System) . This itself has exceed its budget at
this half year mark
There are not too many moving parts to the Water and Sewer billing. The good news is that revenue is on target,
if not slightly above. Until needed, the Sewer invested $250,000 in NYCLASS an investment pool and we are
enjoying a higher yield than the traditional savings account. Also, liquid enough that we can withdraw when
required.

• This chart illustrated the revenues received (gray line),
expenditures made (orange line) and the annual
budget (blue line).
• In all funds, the revenue exceeds expenses. We have
completed the Retaining Wall project and the next big
project will be a new pump station at Bennett.
• I always stress and point out that the YTD revenues and
expenditures bring us through 12/31/22. These
numbers will change monthly/bi-weekly as expenses
are paid and revenue is received.
• The Water and Wastewater Treatment plants with their
collection and distribution systems are aging and
require infrastructure repairs and replacements. The
board has been actively seeking Grants and funding for
these high-cost projects.
Much has been accomplished and much has yet to be done. This is a team effort. The financial health of the village is good
however it is a daily challenge with the ever-increasing costs of equipment, supplies, fuel and electricity. In addition to
cost, the availability of these items that we took for granted has become questionable.
This next budget season 2023-24 will be a challenge and with this I return to the focus of this year’s charge:
Adaptability:
• Keeping an Optimistic Outlook
• Confidence
• Logical Reasoning
• Setting realistic goals
• Time Management
• Emotion Regulation
• Accepting what you cannot control
The Mayor, Board and staff are committed to Millbrook’s future growth and prosperity.
Thank you and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
