CITY OF LITTLE CANADA, MINNESOTA <br />RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES, AND <br />CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES <br />GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES <br />YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 <br />WITH COMPARATIVE TOTALS FOR YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />See accompanying Notes to Basic Financial Statements. <br />(34) <br /> <br />2017 2016 <br />Net Change in Fund Balances-Total Governmental Funds 1,737,998$ (1,292,085)$ <br />Capital Outlays - Improvement Costs 2,710,019$ <br />Loss on Disposal of Capital Assets (35,892) <br />Proceeds from the Sale of Capital Assets (74,101) <br />Depreciation Expense (1,765,179) 834,847 4,530,014 <br />Amortization of Bond Premium 18,690$ <br />Repayment of Notes Payable 32,113 <br />Repayment of Bond Principal 590,000 <br />Change in Accrued Interest Expense 5,507 646,310 2,309,139 <br /> <br />Deferred Inflows of Resources - December 31, 2017 3,767,096$ <br />Deferred Inflows of Resources - December 31, 2016 3,797,347 (30,251) (111,744) <br />64,577 (122,263) <br />(8,993) 20,752 <br />Change in Net Position of Governmental Activities 3,244,488$ 5,333,813$ <br />Pension expenditures in the governmental funds are measured by current year employee <br />contributions. Pension expenses on the statement of activities are measured by the change in <br />net pension liability and the related deferred inflows and outflows of resources. <br />In the statement of activities, compensated absences and other postemployment benefits are <br />measured by the amounts earned during the year. In the governmental funds, however, <br />expenditures for these items are measured by the amount of financial resources used <br />(essentially, the amounts actually paid). During fiscal year 2017, compensated absence <br />payable and other post employment benefits payable changed. <br />Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because: <br />Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures and proceeds from the sale of <br />capital assets as revenues. However, in the statement of activities, assets are capitalized and <br />the cost is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. <br />This is the amount by which depreciation exceeded capital outlays in the current period. <br />The governmental funds report bond proceeds as financing sources, while repayment of bond <br />principal is reported as an expenditure. In the statement of net position, however, issuing debt <br />increases long-term liabilities and does not affect the statement of activities and repayment of <br />principal reduces the liability. Interest is recognized as an expenditure in the governmental <br />funds when it is due. In the statement of activities, however, interest expense is recognized as <br />it accrues, regardless of when it is due. The net effect of these differences in the treatment of <br />general obligation bonds and related items is as follows: <br />Delinquent and certain other property taxes and special assessments receivable will be <br />collected subsequent to year-end, but are not available soon enough to pay for the current <br />period’s expenditures and, therefore, are reported as deferred inflows of resources and <br />excluded from revenues in the governmental funds. <br />
