Agenda Item #3 - Review of
2025 Revenues and
Expenditures
This memo provides an overview of the attached budget comparison for the Hotel/Motel revenue and expenditure
accounts as follows:
• Revenue: 150-00-41210-000-000
• Expenditure:
o 150-00-51100-395-001 – Community Events & Advertising
o 150-00-51100-395-002 – Washington County Support
o 150-00-51100-395-003 – Village Tourism/Promotion
For 2025, a budget of $74,000.00 in expected revenues and expenditures was approved. We have not yet received
revenue reports for the third and fourth quarters of 2025; however, we anticipate an increase from the $30,866.23
collected year to date. Revenues in the remaining quarters are expected to help close the gap toward the approved
budget. Staff will continue to monitor revenue trends and adjust as needed, utilizing the fund balance when
appropriate, as has been done in previous years.
The Community Events and Advertising Account, number 150-00-51100-395-001, will see expenses for the Fall
Festival of Fun and advertising for the Christmas Tree Lighting. The Village Tourism/Promotion Account, number
150-00-51100-395-003, will see expenses for the Christmas Tree set up and tear-down, as well as street sign and light
utilities and website management. We anticipate staying within the budgeted expense amount of $74,000.00 for 2025
but will continue to monitor levels and adjust expenditures accordingly.
The current fund balance is $53,237.81, and our goal is to maintain a minimum of $30,000.00 as the fund balance.

Agenda Item #5 – 2026
Proposed Budget For
Hotel/Motel Tax
This memo provides a summary of the proposed 2026 budget for the Hotel/Motel revenue and expenditure accounts
as follows:
• Revenue: 150-00-41210-000-000
• Expenditures:
o 150-00-51100-395-001 – Community Events & Advertising
o 150-00-51100-395-002 – Washington County Support
o 150-00-51100-395-003 – Village Tourism/Promotion
Comparatively to years 2015 through 2024, we saw a significant increase in revenues in 2023 ($74,498.88). The trend
did not continue in 2024, where we saw things drop back to a more comparative number ($61,091.74). Additionally,
in recent years, draws from the fund balance were used to help offset expenditures. In 2025, staff budgeted an
expected revenue of $74,000.00. Based on current projections and historical trends, we do not anticipate reaching that
target and will likely draw from the fund balance once again. To better align projected revenues and expenditures, the
proposed 2026 budget reflects $61,385.42 in expected revenues.
Analysis of expenditure account for the Washington County Tourism Support 150-00-51100-395-002 reflects
consistent expenditures and would therefore remain at $6,000.00 for 2026. Similarly, the Village Municipal Promotion
account 150-00-51100-395-003 has also reflected consistent expenditures and would remain at $24,500.00 for 2026.
The largest change in expenditures was seen in the Community Events and Advertising account, number 150-00-
51100-395-001. This account will therefore be budgeted for $30,885.42 in 2026. The expenses will be dispersed
across several community events supported by the Jackson Parks and Recreation Department, Friends of Jackson
Parks and Recreation, Inc., and Jackson Festivals, Inc., which is made up of the American Legion, Lady Auxiliary,
Greater Jackson Business Alliance, and Jackson Parks and Recreation Department.
The resulting $61,385.42 in total expenditures will create a balanced budget to help maintain a fund balance of at least
$30,000.00.
