The City has implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement #54
which requires that fund balances be divided into categories from most restricted to uncommitted
funds. The City Council must annually adopt a resolution to `commit' certain funds.
BACKGROUND
The City Council has approved a policy implementing Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) Statement #54. This statement's definition of special revenue funds states that
special revenue funds are used to account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources
that are restricted or committed to expenditures for specified purposes other than debt service or
capital projects. The term "proceeds of specific revenue sources" establishes that one or more
specific restricted or committed revenues should be the foundation for a special revenue fund and
comprise a substantial portion of the fund's revenues. Resolution No. 18-179 commits the

associated with Cable TV programming and communications. This commitment may only be
changed by resolution of the City Council.
