Accounting Details
• We show transfers as a separate line below personnel, operating
expense, and capital outlay so true cost of the department before
transfer will be reflected.
• 50% of Finance, IT, HR, Construction Manager, and Legal Department to
Enterprise Fund
• 15% of Mayor’s Office personnel (except Mayor) to Enterprise Fund
• City Hall cost split with all departments in building according to square
footage
• Definition of “total” budget can vary depending on inclusion of carry
forward. This presentation often excludes carry forward in order to
represent the “new” budget.
• Inclusion of “Use of fund balance” balances the total budget. It is
generally not used in the revenue graphs to highlight the new sources of
revenue. Use of fund balance offsets carry forward or is for one-time
capital projects selected to be spent from amounts saved in the fund
balance. Used for Enterprise Fund depreciation (non-cash).
