MINIMUM UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCE POLICY <br /> <br />The City Council has formally adopted a policy regarding the minimum unassigned fund balance for <br />the General Fund. The most significant revenue source of the General Fund is property taxes. This <br />revenue source is received in two installments during the year – June and December. As such, it is the <br />City’s goal to begin each fiscal year with sufficient working capital to fund operations between each <br />semi-annual receipt of property taxes. <br /> <br />The policy establishes a year-end targeted unassigned fund balance amount for cash-flow timing needs <br />in the range of 30-35% of the subsequent year’s budgeted operating expenditures (net of expenditures <br />for police and financial services to other cities). At December 31, 2020, the unassigned fund balance <br />of the General Fund was 47% of the subsequent year’s budgeted expenditures. <br /> <br /> <br />83
