Board Agenda Item
MEETING DATE: May 9, 2022
AGENDA ITEM: 1st Quarter Treasurer’s Report
SUBMITTED BY: Finance
PREVIOUS BOARD ACTION: None
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Enclosed are the 1st Quarter 2022 financial position for Board’s
review. The operational fund balance is a deficit of $100,020 as of March 31, 2022 (unaudited). The Fire
fund is mainly funded by contract revenue and levy from the City of St. Joseph, St. Joseph Township and
St. Wendel Township. The contract revenue is paid quarterly, levy is received in June, July and
December. The reserve funds include the 2022 capital budget of $79,600. Without the 2022 capital
budget, the deficit would be $20,420.
The 2022 fire fund revenue represents 5% of the budgeted revenue for the year. The main source of
revenue includes the contract fire service and levy revenue from the three jurisdictions, only one quarter
contract revenue received. Interest earnings show a reduction. The City records the fluctuation in the
market value of the investments during the year. The market value will go up and down over the term of
the investments. Recent years realized increased market values, but have been down since 2021. As the
FOMC pushes up the longer federal rate, current investments will show lower values. The current average
rate of return is 1.72% APY.
The fire fund expenditures represent 10% of the budgeted expenditures. The expenditures are
operational. The first half fire call wages will be paid in July. As said above, the capital budget provides
funding for capital purchases in the 5-year capital equipment plan. The Fire Board puts money away each
year to help fund the future purchase. In doing so, spikes in the budget are minimized.

• We are keeping very busy this year. One of or main goals is to work better at having drills
prepared for each night and that our members are learning or fine tuning their skills each night.
• Of the 3 last hired in November of 2021, Mooney who had all his training done before coming
to SJFD, is fitting is great. Jack Taufen has passed his FF1 and HazMat classes and is
currently in FF2 class with completion in June. Bret Jacobson is learning as much as he can
during our drills. Bret will be starting his FF1, FF2, HazMat classes this fall.
• Both Bret and Jack will need to take their First Responder class which will be done maybe the
fall of 2022 and we may tie them in with the other 4 new hires from 2022.
• We will continue to look for more new members as we are still down 3 and have a few that
could retire.
