I thank you to the staff for somehow miraculously getting this thing working. The fact is, the money is taken out of my budget, by way of example, and so it’s aggregated out through the normal process but it shows up here as income. I’m not going to argue semantics here, but the fact its income should show up somewhere other than on one particular page such as 7-26. It should show up as a revenue line within the department’s revenue and it doesn’t show up there. I did look for it. Unless, of course, I missed it. But I see great money rolled in under electrical permits, boiler, gas, but I’m not here to discuss page 7-9. The fact is it doesn’t even show up under the general revenue through that. It’s got to show up somewhere.
Any accountant will tell you that you can’t just keep taking money, show your consolidated amount. I’m not talking about the individual department lines. All I was trying to point out is all department lines have a TSC chargeback in one form or another. So here it shows the consolidated amount of all of those chargebacks, so where does the money go? That question then leads into why doesn’t it show up under revenue stream?
Do we not have someone with accounting experience or an expert willing to make the commitment and explain why it can just be deducted but not show up as being inputted under the revenue? Because it would go back into revenues.
