Questions:
1. Form C shows a negative carrying balance of nearly $2 million dollars for FY23. Is this
accurate?
The information submitted on Form C had an error. Our team jumped ahead and tried
to do the work that the table would do for us. The original figures in Form C in revenue
is our net income. Below is an updated table the reflects our revenue appropriately with
an updated ending fund balance.
Fund Balance FY21 FY22 FY23
Revenue $559,564.00 $742,326.50 $701025.00
Total Expense $547,785.00 $678,474.00 $665989.00
Ending Fund Balance $11,779.00 $63,852.50 $35,036.00
2. What are the plans to fill the budget shortfall?
Our updated numbers in Form C show that there is not a shortfall to address. With that said,
funding from Iowa City is vital to ensure that individuals who are not able to access services due
to income are able to continue to attend this necessary service.
