FISCAL YEAR 2012-2013 ADOPTED BUDGET
The adopted consolidated budget for Fiscal Year 2012-2013 amounts to $31,216,000. This amount includes $19,112,000 from the Joint Resolution General Fund, $1,016,000 from Special Appropriations, $10,588,000 in Revenues from Internal Sources, and $500,000 from Other Income.
Operational expenses reflect a decrease of $2,241,000 when compared to funds assigned in fiscal year 2011-2012, due to the implementation of an early retirement incentive program and a reprogramming of available resourses to cover the increase in utilities expenses.
Special Appropriations include $716,000 to reinforce the payroll costs and $300,000 to the development of the first phase of the Ecotourism Project "Las Cabachuelas de Morovis".
Revenues from Internal Sources are generated from the services provided at vacation centers, beaches, parks and other recreational areas. By law, these funds will be used for operational expenses. There is a change in the amount of funds for this category because the Company expects an increase in the demand for vacational cabins, villas, parks and parking fees.
Other Income is generated from the interest of financial instruments and will be used for administrative and operational expenses and for the maintenance of beaches, vacation centers, sports and recreational facilities and facilities at the central office level.
