        TO:            Board of Selectmen
        FROM:          Randy Scollins, Finance Director ~~
        DATE:          January 28, 2020
        SUBJECT:       Enterprise Funds' Operating Results as of December 31, 2019

        The attached report shows the enterprise funds' operating results through the second quarter of
        fiscal 2020 compared to the same period for fiscal 2019.

        The water enterprise's budgeted deficit of $235,000 for fiscal 2020 was due to cash reserves
        appropriated for cash capital projects. The actual deficit for the second quarter was $895
        thousand which is less than last year's slightly positive position due to lower irrigation revenues
        and higher MWRA assessments.

        The sewer enterprise's budgeted deficit of $200,000 for fiscal 2020 was due to cash reserves
        appropriated for a cash capital project. The actual deficit through the second quarter was $2.3
        million, slightly more than the $2.1 million deficit a year ago.

        The water and sewer assessments are paid to the MWRA over ten months. However, since we
        encumber the entire year's assessments, the actual amounts include what has been paid to
        date plus the balance due the MWRA for the year.

        The rink enterprise's budgeted deficit of $70,000 for fiscal 2020 was due to cash reserves used
        to fund on-going operating expenses while the rink remained closed from the February 2015
        roof collapse. The rink enterprise experienced an operating surplus of $19,500 through the
        second quarter of fiscal 2020 primarily due to interest income earned on the insurance proceeds
        received.

        Please advise if you have any questions or comments concerning this information.
