The <br />City Council must annually adopt a resolution to `commit' certain funds. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The City Council has approved a policy implementing Governmental Accounting Standards Board <br />(GASB) Statement #54. This statement's definition of special revenue funds states that special revenue <br />funds are used to account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted or <br />committed to expenditures for specified purposes other than debt service or capital projects. The term <br />"proceeds of specific revenue sources" establishes that one or more specific restricted or committed <br />revenues should be the foundation for a special revenue fund and comprise a substantial portion of the <br />fund's revenues. Resolution 12 -127 commits the specific revenue sources of the Recreation Special <br />Revenue Fund specifically for operating City- sponsored recreation programming. This commitment may <br />only be changed by resolution of the City Council. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends adoption of Resolution 12 -127. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Resolution 12 -127. <br />
