STUDY SESSION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Kevin Engles
DEPARTMENT: Finance
DATE: February 28, 2022
SUBJECT: Preliminary December Monthly Financial Report
DESCRIPTION:
Preliminary December Monthly Financial Report
RECOMMENDATION:
Director of Finance, Jackie C. Loh, will review the 2021 YTD December Preliminary Financial
Report.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff provides financial updates to City Council each month. During the Study Session
discussion, the Director of Finance will review the 2021 December Preliminary General Fund
financials by revenues and expenditures. Sales & Use Tax collections by area are also included
in the Appendix of the attached presentation.
As per Council request, the PowerPoint slides have been changed as described below:
• One-time revenue and expenditures for 2021 and 2020 are subtracted from the report.
• The sign for expenditure variances is changed to ensure consistency between revenue
and expenditures. A year over year (YOY) increase to a revenue or an expenditure is
listed as a positive number while a decrease is shown as a negative number.
• Changing the Fund Balance Composition slide, second to the last line, from “Reserve
available above policy” to “Balance available above reserve policy” to distinguish
reserves from the available balance. The year-end revenue estimates used to calculate
the reserves are updated.
• The Englewood Urban Renewal Authority (EURA) areas are removed from the new
sales tax area map.
SUMMARY:
Through December 2021, the City of Englewood's General Fund receipts total $54,450,000 this
amount is 103.6% of budgeted revenue, or $3,581,000 higher than the same time of 2020. Total
revenue YTD is tracking 7.0% higher than the same period in 2020. Expenditures YTD are
$52,953,000 or 90.2% of the fiscal year budget. The total expenditures YTD are $5,300,000
higher than those of 2020.
ANALYSIS:
Revenue highlights are below:
Page 5 of 78
• Sales & Use Tax remittances total $33,690,000 and are 103.6% of fiscal budgeted
revenue; Sales & Use Tax received is $1,841,000 higher than the same time last year.
Of the $1,8741,000 variance, $300,000 is due to closing a liability account for an expired
potential incentive program. Additionally, the Sales & Use Tax audits and voluntary
disclosure collections amount to $806,000, which is not in the amended budget. Lastly,
as part of the year-end accrual adjustments, approximately $500,000 Sales & Use Tax
received in January 2022 for December 2021 will be recorded back to 2021.
• Marijuana Sales Tax accounts for $1,898,000 of the total Sales & Use Tax revenue YTD
and is slightly lower than 2020.
• Licenses & Permits Revenue total $2,218,000, and are 185.3% of budgeted revenue.
Compared to last year, this positive variance is mainly due to several large development
plan review fees totaling $350,000.
• Parks, Recreation, Library & Golf (PRLG) YTD revenue of $2,360,000 is $1,362,000
above last year. The facilities were operating at reduced capacity during 2020 due to
COVID-19 but reopened at full capacity on May 16, 2021.
• American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)-the city has been awarded $8,776,000 which will be
received in two allocations of $4,338,000 each. The first allocation was received on
June 29, 2021.
The US Department of Treasury issued the final rule, including Standard Allowance, in
early January 2022, which permits all cities with population less than 50,000 to use up to
$10M under the Lost Revenue Provision. For 2021, the General Fund has recognized
$689,000 of the ARPA funds; of which, $50,000 is committed for Workforce Training,
$30,000 for Vaccines, and $609,000 for Homelessness. A budget supplemental for the
proposed uses/allocations will be presented to Council in April
• Investment Earnings are negative, and $526,000, less than the same time last year, due
to a rise in interest rates. The portfolio, predominantly in bonds, is valued at market
value each month, so earnings can fluctuate when interest rates move in either direction.
• Englewood McLellan Reservoir Foundation (EMRF) leases contain periodic rate
increase terms. Rates have increased on several of the leases since January 2021.
• Misc. Revenues are up due to the health insurance savings of $547,000.
Expenditures highlights are below:
• Part of the variances are due to the 3.5% salary increase per the Englewood Police
Bargaining Association (EPBA) and Englewood Employee Association (EEA) contracts
and 2.5% for the rest of the staff. Additionally, approximately $400,000 of optional leave
was paid out in March.
• Parks, Recreation and Library expenditures are $1,376,000 above 2020 due to facilities
returning to full capacity starting on May 16, 2021.
• Human Resources has been charged $120,000 more for the Human Resources
Information System (HRIS) modifications.
• Community Development is $503,000 higher than the 2020 amount due to additional
economic development grants approved in the budget supplemental.
The Operating Surplus (Excess Revenues over Expenditures) is $1,497,000, compared to the
original Budgeted Operating Deficit of $1,986,000. The $131,000 transfer from the Public
Improvement Fund for Debt Services and $3,000,000 transfer out for capital projects are
included in the original Budgeted Operating Deficit.
Page 6 of 78
After including the changes in Budget Supplementals #1, 2, 3, and 4, the amended Budgeted
Operating Deficit is $6,172,000 (amended Budgeted Expenditures over original Budgeted
Revenues). The amended Budgeted Expenditures include an additional $2.8M for the
remaining outstanding balance for COP but repayment of the COP debt is not anticipated until
June 2022.
The General Fund Transfers slide shows $165,000 transfers into the General Fund and
$11,130,000 transfers out of the General Fund, resulting in a net transfer of $10,965,000 out of
the General Fund. A transfer out of $150,000 to advance the Englewood Downtown
Development Authority’s (EDDA) first year operations is added to slide #14. After the Council
approves the loan agreement on February 22nd, the advance will be reclassified as a loan.
The General Fund – Fund Balance Composition slide shows a YTD Deficit of $8,479,000,
including the Operating Surplus of $2,486,000 and a net transfer of $10,965,000 out of the
General Fund.

replace large ticket items such as operating machinery and equipment. If
items purchased outside of Englewood at a local tax rate less than 3.5%,

STUDY SESSION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Kevin Engles
DEPARTMENT: Finance
DATE: February 28, 2022
SUBJECT: January 2022 Monthly Financial Report
DESCRIPTION:
Finance Manager Kevin Engels to review with City Council the January 2022 Financial Report
RECOMMENDATION:
Finance Manager, Kevin Engels, will review the 2022 January Financial Report.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff provides financial updates to City Council each month. During the Study Session
discussion, the Director of Finance will review the 2022 January General Fund financials by
revenues and expenditures. Sales & Use Tax by areas are also included in the Appendix of the
attached presentation.
SUMMARY:
Through January 2022, the City of Englewood's General Fund receipts total $5,413,000 this
amount is 9.8% of budgeted revenue, or $225,000 higher than the same time of 2021. Total
revenue YTD is tracking 4.3% higher than the same period in 2021. Expenditures YTD are
$4,650,000 or 8.4% of the fiscal year budget. The total expenditures YTD are $453,000 higher
than those of 2021.
As per Council request, the PowerPoint slides have been changed as described below:
• One-time revenue and expenditures for 2022 and 2021 are subtracted from the
operating slides as noted.
ANALYSIS:
Revenue highlights are below:
• Sales & Use Tax remittances total $4,269,000 and are 12.2% of fiscal budgeted
revenue; Sales & Use Tax received is $74,000 higher than the same time last year.
Additionally, the Sales & Use Tax audits and voluntary disclosure collections amount to
$46,000, which is not in the amended budget. Lastly, approximately $500,000 Sales &
Use Tax received in January 2022 for December 2021 will be recorded back to 2021.
• Marijuana Sales Tax accounts for $149,000 of the total Sales & Use Tax revenue YTD
and is slightly lower than 2021.
• Intergovernmental Revenue is higher in 2022 due to the timing of a $68,000 receipt.
• Licenses & Permits Revenue total $273,000, and are 14.9% of budgeted revenue.
Compared to last year, this positive variance is mainly due to one large development
plan review fee totaling $96,000.
Page 34 of 78
• Parks, Recreation, Library & Golf (PRLG) YTD revenue of $73,000 is $40,000 above last
year. The facilities were operating at reduced capacity during 2021 due to COVID-19
but reopened at full capacity on May 16, 2021.
• ARPA-the city has been awarded $8,776,000 which will be received in two allocations of
$4,338,000 each. The first allocation was received on June 29th 2021.
The US Department of Treasury issued the final ARPA rule, in early January 2022. The
final rule contains a “Standard Allowance” which permits all cities with population less
than 50,000 to use up to $10M under the Lost Revenue Provision. For 2021, the
General Fund has recognized $689,000 of the ARPA funds; of which, $50,000 is
committed for Workforce Training, $30,000 for Vaccines, and $609,000 for
Homelessness. A budget supplemental for the proposed allocation is expected to be
presented to Council in April.
• Investment Earnings are negative, and $71,000, less than the same time last year, due
to a rise in interest rates. The portfolio, predominantly in bonds, is valued at market
value each month, so earnings can fluctuate when interest rates move in either direction.
Expenditures highlights are below:
• Across all departments, part of the variances are due to the 3.5% salary increase per the
Englewood Police Bargaining Association (EPBA) and Englewood Employee
Association (EEA) contracts and 3.5% for the rest of the staff.
• The Legislation expenditures are higher in 2022 due to the timing of a $36,000 payment.
• The Information Technologies expenditures are higher in 2022 due the timing of
$300,000 for software licenses.
• Parks, Recreation and Library expenditures are $52,000 above 2021 due to facilities
being at full capacity in 2022.
• Human Resources has been charged $120,000 more for the HRIS.
The YTD Operating Surplus (Excess Revenues over Expenditures) is $763,000, compared to
the original Budgeted Operating Deficit of ($22,000). There is a $134,000 transfer from the
Public Improvement Fund for Debt Service. This Operating Surplus excludes one-time items.
The General Fund – Fund Balance Composition slide #14 shows a YTD Total surplus of
$1,723,000, including the Operating Surplus of $1,589,000 and a net transfer in of $134,000.
This surplus includes one-time items.
Both December 2021 and January 2022 revenues and expenditures will continue to change as
the City completes it annual financial audit process. Final audited results for 2021 are expected
to be presented to Council late in the 2nd quarter of 2022.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
Staff will review the current financial report with Council monthly and welcomes questions and
discussion.

Use tax revenue fluctuates depending on the timing of when businesses
replace large ticket items such as operating machinery and equipment. If
items purchased outside of Englewood at a local tax rate less than 3.5%,
then the tax payer is liable for the difference between the local tax paid and
3.5% tax due.

STUDY SESSION
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Jackie McKinnon, Tamara Niles
DEPARTMENT: City Attorney's Office, City Clerk's Office
DATE: February 28, 2022
SUBJECT:
Presentation on newly-created State Festival Permits, and
Consideration of a Local Permit
DESCRIPTION:
Presentation on revision to Colorado law regarding Festival Permits, to determine whether City
will issue a local festival permit.
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive presentation on Colorado Festival Permits, and provide direction to staff whether to
draft an Ordinance creating a local Festival Permit.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None
SUMMARY:
Effective September 2021, Colorado law created a new type of liquor license: a Festival Permit.
ANALYSIS:
On May 8, 2021, Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed into law SB 21-082, amending CRS 44-
3-404 creating a state alcohol festival permit. The act authorizes the following alcohol beverage
licensees to obtain a festival permit, which would allow the licensees to hold festivals where they
may conduct joint tastings and engage in any retail operations authorized by their licenses or
permits:
• A beer and wine licensee;
• A hotel and restaurant licensee;
• A tavern licensee;
• A brew pub licensee;
• A vintner's restaurant licensee;
• A distillery pub licensee;
• A winery or limited winery licensee;
• A spirits manufacturer; and
• A beer manufacturer.
Licensees may obtain a permit to hold up to 9 festivals in 12 months throughout the State of
Colorado, with each festival lasting no longer than 72 hours. A permitted festival authorizes
participants to sell and serve alcohol at the festival location just as they would be able to at their
regular licensed premises.
Page 63 of 78
Local licensing authorities like Englewood may create a local permit for these festivals held within
the City. A local permit is not required to have a festival within the City --if no local permit is
created, only a state permit is required. While there is no requirement that the City take action
regarding festival permits, without a local permit:
The City/Police Department may not be notified of the event
The City cannot place reasonable restrictions on the festival, such as location limitations, fencing,
health and safety regulations
To ensure we would not be required to further amend EMC 5-3C-3 (public consumption of alcohol)
to authorize alcohol consumption during locally-permitted festivals, Ord. 1, Series of 2022
specifically referenced that a local festival permit, if issued under the liquor code, is as an
exemption on the prohibition of consumption of alcohol on public property in EMC 5-3C-3(B)(2):
(2) The Englewood Liquor Licensing Authority may grant a special event permit or
festival permit under the procedures set forth in the liquor code.
Whether to amend the liquor code to allow for a local festival permit, however, is solely within the
discretion of City Council.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
Direct the City Attorney's Office as to whether it should draft an Ordinance amending
Englewood Municipal Code 5-3A-9 to create a local Festival Permit.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
This field is now required. Please contact City Clerk's office with questions.
