FROM:          James Murgia, Finance Director fins
DATE:         August 12, 2010
SUBJECT:       Enterprise Funds’ Fiscal 2010 Operating Results

The attached report shows the enterprise funds’ operating results for fiscal 2010. Also attached is
a balance sheet report showing all the enterprise funds which was prepared for the Department of
Revenue to certify the enterprise funds’ “free cash reserve” balances as of June 30, 2010.

Water’s operating deficit was $319,737 which is considerably worse than budget due to much
lower than expected revenues despite two rate increases. After considering the fiscal 2010
deficit, the water enterprise fund ended the year with a contingency reserve of only $163,611
which is 3.2% of revenues.

The sewer enterprise finished fiscal 2010 operating at a deficit of $242,024 which is slightly more
than the deficit budgeted. Sewer revenues were less than expected, while expenses (primarily
payments to the Town of Stoughton) were much higher than budget. Sewer’s end of year
contingency reserve is $1.1 million, a healthy 22.1% of revenues.

The rink experienced an operating deficit of $45,335 during fiscal 2010 primarily due to lower
revenues and higher salaries. The rink’s end of year contingency reserve amounts to only $6,553
which is a very low 1.7% of revenue.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments concerning this information.
