Combined Revenue and Expense* (000’s)
*Expenses include $2.5 million in depreciation, amortization and interest
4 meetings plus the board meeting for revenues of $15K. Boise Centre net losses reduced from $751K in June to $652K in July, a reduction of $99K, due to cost reductions.
Staffing reductions continued in July as all full-time staff were furloughed 5-7 days. In addition, 15 employees chose to furlough the full month of July.
District hotel tax revenues continue to rebound: from $230K to $416K, 46% underbudget yet an $186K increase over June revenues.
Year over year decreases in revenues reflects the financial impairment caused by COVID, when prior to March, 2020 was on another record setting pace.
