              SUBJECT:           Enterprise Funds' Fiscal 2018 Operating Results

              The attached report shows the enterprise funds' operating results for fiscal 2018 compared to
              fiscal 2017. Also attached is a balance sheet report which was prepared for the Department of
              Revenue to certify the enterprise funds' "free cash reserve" balances as of June 30, 2018.

              The water enterprise's budgeted deficit of $1,385,000 was due to cash reserves earmarked for
              cash capital ($655,000), easements ($80,000), MWRA assessment ($400,000) and a budget
              supplement ($250,000). The actual fiscal 2018 operating deficit was $931,531 which is less
              than budgeted primarily due to higher revenues received. After considering the fiscal 2018's
              results, the water enterprise fund ended the year with an estimated cash reserve of $1.6 million
              which is a healthy 19% of expenses.

              The sewer enterprise's budgeted deficit of $404,000 was due to cash reserves earmarked for
              cash capital. The actual fiscal 2018 operating surplus was $511,750 primarily due to higher
              revenues. Sewer's end of year cash reserve is estimated to be $2.0 million which is a healthy
              29% of expenses.

              The rink enterprise's budgeted deficit of $19,910 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 $17,192 during fiscal 2018 primarily due
              to interest income earned on the insurance proceeds received. The rink's end of year cash
              reserve amounted to an estimated $73,000.

              The rink enterprise has received approximately $2.7 million from the Town's insurance company
              due to the 2015 roof collapse. These insurance funds have been set aside while the Town
              investigates the costs to build a new rink or repair the existing one.

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