The Department of Public Lands\u2019 annual budget in fiscal year 2020 was $4.10 million, but its total revenue was $5.39 million, according to DPL\u2019s Citizen-Centric Report for fiscal year 2020. <\/p>\n
DPL\u2019s CCR said their total revenue in fiscal year 2020 amounted to $5,392,254 compared to $6,702,776 in fiscal year 2019\u2014a drop of $1,310,22\u2014but it still surpassed the budget allocated to the department.<\/p>\n
DPL said their actual revenue continues to surpass the forecasted revenue predicted in the annual budget each year.<\/p>\n
Since the beginning of the Torres administration in 2016, DPL revenue has increased, the report stated, and only posted a downward trend after 2018 as a result of the Commonwealth-wide recovery from Super Typhoon Yutu in 2019 and the COVID-19 global pandemic in 2020. <\/p>\n
For land compensation, DPL said they issued $270,900 in partial payments and $134,686 in full payment, for a total of $405,586.<\/p>\n
Deveney Dela Cruz, special assistant to the DPL secretary, said they successfully complied with Public Law 20-83 for the second consecutive year by publishing the Citizen-Centric Report for fiscal year 2020.<\/p>\n
Dela Cruz said this CCR provides the citizens of the CNMI with an understanding of their department structure, accomplishments, financial standing, and economic outlook over this past fiscal year. <\/p>\n
She said DPL takes pride in continuously informing the public and government officials about DPL matters and that the CCR is another means for DPL to offer accountability and transparency. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
