Town Accountant’s Report – Fiscal Year 2019 Fiscal Year 2019 was a difficult year financially for the Town of Nahant. The Certified Free Cash is $621,922. (Free Cash is the fund balance less mandated state adjustments-See next page.) This was $119,796 less than last year. As we push our revenue estimates, this will continue to decline. We must continue to be careful in order to grow and avoid a free cash deficit. The Town's revenue budget is only an estimate. This revenue budget is what supports the appropriation budget. It is prudent to use free cash available for any revenue deficits, other unforeseen events that can occur and capital improvements. The future years will require reduced appropriations and/or another override. The certified Water/Sewer Enterprise Fund balance is $157,959 and the Rubbish Enterprise Fund balance is $178,500 for Fiscal Year 2019. Water/Sewer Enterprise Fund is at the low due to sewer emergency and a reduction in usage. Thanks again to all who have worked to maintain a positive fund balance again in FY 19. Special thanks to all of the department heads who work diligently to stay within their budgets and all of the wonderful people who donate so much of their time to make Nahant a better The town's outstanding debt as of 6/30/19 is $12,635,184 - $2,852,650 is in long-term debt and $9,782,534 is in temporary short-term debt. The Authorized and Unissued Debt totals $935,900 as detailed in the attached Statement of Indebtedness. During Fiscal Year 2019 the Our infrastructure has been deteriorating rapidly, as shown with Storm Riley and the sewer emergency. We have borrowed for capital and therefore are paying interest over the term of the borrowings for our capital. We use our free cash for our operating budget. We must have funds in savings and buy capital without borrowing. We must balance our budget without free cash. Most of the Town's revenue comes from real estate taxes. We receive a small percentage of state aid compared to most communities. We have little new growth with no place to grow. On the following pages are reports that cover the twelve-month period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. (FY 19) Please take time to review these reports. Additional information or clarification desired by a Nahant resident will be gladly furnished upon a written request. The combined statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances, the combined balance sheet, the business-type changes in net position and statement of net position for fiscal year ending 6/30/19 are prepared by the Town of Nahant's auditors, CliftonLarsonAllen, LLP. AU other reports are prepared in-house. Also, the FY 2020 appropriated budget and expenditures are included at the end of this report. The actual expenditures are through 6/30/20.
