ENTERPRISE FUNDS OVERVIEW
<br />The City maintains enterprise funds to account for services the City provides that are financed primarily
<br />through fees charged to those utilizing the service. This section of the report provides you with an
<br />overview of the financial trends and activities of the City's enterprise funds, which include the Water,
<br />Sewer, Surface Water Management, and Recycling Funds.
<br />The utility funds comprise a considerable portion of the City's activities. We understand that the City is
<br />proactive in reviewing these activities on an ongoing basis, and we want to reiterate the importance of
<br />continually monitoring these operations. Over the years, we have emphasized to our city clients the
<br />importance of these utility operations being self-sustaining, preventing additional burdens on general
<br />government funds. This would include the accumulation of net position for future capital improvements
<br />and to provide a cushion in the event of a negative trend in operations.
