The city's auditing firm has recommended using a liability <br />account in the General Fund for sod escrow activity. That account has been established <br />and is currently in use. Similarly, an interest fund has been set up to record investment <br />interest until it is allocated at the end of the year. <br /> <br />The escrow fund has a deficit cash balance of$2,132.60. It appears that it is due to <br />improper recording of interest transactions several years ago. A General Fund transfer <br />would eliminate the Escrow Fund: <br /> <br />General Fund <br />Escrow Fund <br />(to close out escrow fund) <br /> <br />$2,132.60 <br /> <br />$2,132.60 <br /> <br />A fire equipment depreciation payment from the Fire Department was erroneously <br />recorded in a separate fund prior to 1998. The money should be transferred to the <br />General Fund: <br /> <br />Fire Equipment Depreciation $5,820.27 <br />General Fund <br />(to close out fire depreciation fund) <br /> <br />$5,820.27 <br />
