Subject: Second Quarter 2025 Current Fund Budget Report
Attached is the second quarter budget report for the Current Fund Budget. Below are the
significant items of note for the second quarter of 2025.
Revenues:
There are revenue line items that are expected to be different than 50% collected by the end
of Q2. These items are, along with commentary on each:
o Amount to be Raised by Taxation – 17.64% – Entry to realize Reserve for
Uncollected Taxes is done in April; all other entries are done at year end. Collection
percentage is consistent year over year (YOY).
o Liquor Licenses – 101.50% – Payments are due by June 30th. Collection percentage
is consistent YOY.
o Cable Franchise Fees – 100.00% – Budgeted amount is the known cash collection
that is received in the first half of the year.
o Recreation Fees and Income – 93.98% – Most of the programming revenue is
received in the first half of the year for summer programs. Collection percentage is
consistent YOY.
o State Aid Revenue – 0% – Historically received in July through November.
Collection percentage is consistent YOY.
o Receipts of Delinquent Taxes – 78.42% – Historically, most collections of this
revenue occur in the first half of the year. Collection percentage is consistent YOY.
o Revenue lines charged after budget adoption:
Capital Surplus – General Capital – 100%
Utility Fund Balance – 100%
Reserve for Debt Service – 100%
Federal & State Grant Revenue – 100%
There are revenue line items that are not expected to be different than 50% collected by the
end of Q2. These items are, along with commentary on each:
o Interest & Costs on Taxes – 35.53% – Increase in anticipated revenue from 2024
combined with lower collections is resulting in a lower percentage than 2024
(74.57%). This decrease is due to a lower outstanding tax balance.
o Interest on Investments – 59.26% – While the collections for 2025 are trending
higher than the amount of time passed in the year, the collection percentage is down
from 2024 (120.94%). This is due to anticipating a higher amount of revenue while
maintaining slightly lower cash balances. However, this does not pose an issue to
the budget due to anticipated revenues being anticipated lower than actual cash
received during 2024.
o Board of Education SRO Shared Services – 29.11% – This lower than anticipated
collection percentage is due to timing, as another payment was received in July.
This is a new anticipated revenue stream for the Borough in 2025.
All other revenue line items are consistent with the amount of time that has passed in the
year, as well as when compared to the same period last year.
Anticipated Revenue for 2025, net of the Amount to be Raised by Taxation, is $4,728,017.72,
which is an increase of approximately $897K from Anticipated Revenue (net) for 2024. This
increase is due to some additional usage of Utility Fund Balance, the anticipation of Board of
Education SRO Shared Services Revenue, increased anticipated Interest on Investments, and
a significant increase in Federal & State Grants, offset slightly by a lower amount of
anticipated Receipts from Delinquent Taxes. Through Q2 2025, 59.40% of this net amount
has been received, versus 55.58% through Q2 2024.
Revenues will continue to be monitored monthly and any discrepancies or issues will be
investigated and resolved.
Expenditures:
There are expenditure line items that are expected to be different than 50% expended by
the end of Q2. These items are, along with commentary on each:
o Timing of payments:
Annual Audit – 100% – Audit is complete for 2024.

System.
Tax Collector – Other Expenses – 64.26% – Timing of payments for
Education for Tax Clerk.
UC – Other Expenses – 62.15% – Timing of payment related to Construction
office software.
LOSAP – 0% – Payment occurs at the end of the year.
Payment of Bond Principal – 39.26%; Interest on Bonds – 50.60% – Timing
of payments and amount of payments varies depending on each Bond
Issuance.
Payment of BAN Principal – 0%; Interest on Notes – 0% – BAN payments to
be made in October.
Recreation Department – S&W – 26.95% – Significant programs are held in
the summer months; Q3 report expected to have a higher percentage
expended.
Various utility accounts have expenditures that are delayed by one month,
which leads to variability in the percentage expended.
For all of the above, the percentage expended and encumbered is consistent
YOY.

contracts:
Tax Assessor – Other Expenses – 93.62%

Group Insurance Plans -Employee – 60.17%
Interlocal Services – Morris County Dispatch – 100%
Solid Waste – Other Expenses – 87.25%

YOY

Accumulated Leave Compensation – 100%
Grant Expenditures – 100%

Deferred Charges – 100%
Reserve for Uncollected Taxes – 100%
For all of the above, the percentage expended and encumbered is consistent
YOY.
There are expenditure line items that are not expected to be different than 50% expended
by the end of Q2. These items are, along with commentary on each:
o Favorable:
Other Expenses – General Administration (37.92%); Mayor & Council
(26.87%); Computer Services (32.97%); Planning Board (36.24%); Board of
Adjustment (24.70%); Fire Department (26.12%); Shade Tree Commission
(6.69%)

Code Enforcement – S&W – 63.17% – Movement from PT employee costs to
FT employee costs
Natural Gas – 67.32% – The natural gas bills have increase substantially
since last year. This is likely an area that will need to be addressed in Q4.

necessary.
All other expenditure line items are consistent with the amount of time that has passed in
the year, as well as when compared to the same period last year.

Subject: Second Quarter 2025 Water Budget Report
Second Quarter 2025 Sewer Budget Report
Attached are the second quarter budget reports for the Water Operating Budget and Sewer
Operating Budget, along with the Water and Sewer Billing and Revenue Report. Below are the
significant items of note for the second quarter of 2025.
Water Operating Budget:
While the anticipated revenue amount for Water Operating Revenues is flat from 2024 to
2025, the percent of collections for 2025 (39.71%) is higher through the second quarter
when compared to the same period of 2024 (31.84%).
Although the percentage of revenues collected through Q2 is not in line with being halfway
through the year, this is expected due to sprinkler meters being billed in only Q3 and Q4.
The expectation is that revenue collections will increase more significantly in the second
half of the year than is seen in the first half once sprinkler meters are billed.
It is noted that as of the completion of this review, Q3 billings have occurred, and will be
summarized and discussed in the next quarterly report.
Water Operating Expenditures for 2025 through the second quarter are in line with prior
year and are at levels that are expected when passage of time and timing of bills are
considered.
Expenditures will continue to be monitored monthly and any discrepancies or issues will be
investigated and resolved.
Sewer Operating Budget:
The anticipated revenue amount for Sewer Rents is lower in 2025 than in 2024. While
Sewer Rent collections in dollars for 2025 have decreased from 2024, the percentage of
revenue received has actually increased in 2025 (57.03%) as compared to 2024 (46.52%).
Based on the amount of time elapsed in 2025 thus far, the collections are generally in line
and are slightly favorable when compared to 2024.
Sewer Operating Expenditures for 2025 through the second quarter are in line with prior
year and are at levels that are expected when passage of time and timing of bills are
considered.
Influencing the Sewer Operating – Other Expenses is a large encumbrance for the
Parsippany sewer charges. This is expected and is appropriate.
Expenditures will continue to be monitored monthly and any discrepancies or issues will be
investigated and resolved.
Water and Sewer Billing and Revenue:
Water

o Total payments, including adjustments, were $157,596.26 for Q2 2025. This is an
increase from Q2 2024 of approximately $27K.
Sewer
o Total billings, including adjustments, were $258,362.81 for Q2 2025. This is an
increase from Q2 2024 of approximately $62K.
o Total payments, including adjustments, were $226,348.08 for Q2 2025. This is an
increase from Q2 2024 of approximately $27K.
There has been an increased effort towards billing based off actual readings (whether
automatically or manually) versus estimated readings; these efforts are having a positive
effect on the billing and collections.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
