Revenue &              Revenue and Expenditure Assumptions & Expectations
Expenditure Forecast   Tourism driven tax and fee revenues are expected to be at or near pre-
                       pandemic levels

                       Business License Revenues are expected to come in at or near pre-pandemic
                       levels

                       Construction Permitting shows no sign of slowing however it is unknown
                       how long the rapid growth will continue

                       PRST & MB Convention Center revenues are expected to come in at pre-
                       pandemic levels

                       Property Tax revenues will remain steady as much of the residential and
                       commercial growth will be occurring in the MBAFB TIF, Mutli-County
                       Business Park, and the Ocean Front/Downtown Redevelopment TIF.

                       Expenditures will continue to increase as the demand for service continues
                       to grow.
