B. Proprietary Funds Proprietary Funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements but in more detail. Other factors concerning the finances of the proprietary funds have already been addressed in the discussion of the City of Greensboro’s business-type activities. General Fund Budgetary Highlights The General Fund budget for FY 2022 was adopted at $329,255,081 (excluding carry-forward encumbrances) and represents an increase of approximately 7.4% compared to the adopted FY 2021 budget. Encumbrances of $5,409,307 were carried forward from FY 2021 commitments. There were no significant variances from the original and final amended budgets for FY 2022. The increase amounting to approximately $5 million, was primarily for certain American Rescue Pan Act (ARPA) enabled expenditures and implementation of a Police Take Home Vehicle program. As of June 30, 2022, the City had collected $338.5 million or 99.5% of its budgeted General Fund revenues and had incurred $328.2 million or 96.5% of its budgeted expenditures. Significant differences between actual results and the final amended budget are highlighted below: • Overall General Fund revenues were less than the final amended budget by approximately $1.6 million primarily due to $1.3 million of net budgeted transfers, relating to the ARPA planning and certain fund closure. • Actual expenditures compared to final budget were less by $11.9 million or approximately 3.5%, noting approximately $2.2 million savings in general government, $1.7 million savings in police operations, $1.8 million savings in engineering and building maintenance, $1.9 million in field operations relating to stormwater maintenance and approximately $4.2 million savings in culture and recreation. • FY 2022 included a 3% average merit increase for employees, along with funding to advance sworn policy and fire personnel to the appropriate next steps in the Public Safety Step Compensation Program.
