GENERAL FUND SUMMARY <br />FUND DESCRIPTION: <br />The General Fund is used to account for the ordinary operations of the City, which are financed from <br />taxes and other general revenues, which are not accounted for in another fund. The modified accrual <br />basis of accounting is used in the General Fund. That is, expenditures are recorded at the time <br />liabilities are incurred and revenues are recorded when received. <br />BUDGET SUMMARY: <br />Property taxes are the largest revenue source, with the general government department as the largest <br />expenditure area planned for 2016. The 2016 General Fund budget of $353,870 is a 6.61 % increase <br />over the City's 2015 budget and anticipates using $80,000 of Fund Balance to balance the budget <br />and keep property taxes as low as possible. The graph below and on the next page demonstrate the <br />percentage breakdown of budgeted revenues by classification and expenditure by department. Page <br />10 also shows this information numerically. <br />2016 <br />Expenditures By Department <br />Operating <br />Transfers <br />$o <br />Public Works , <br />$43, <br />Public Safe <br />$139,14U <br />General <br />Government <br />$171,400 <br />P <br />
