Financial Analysis of the Government's funds Governmental funds. The focus of the City of Roseville's governmental funds is to provide information on near -term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City of Roseville's financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Roseville's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $32,880,827. Approximately 67°Io of this total amount ($22,091,217) constitutes unreserved fund balance. The remainder of the fund balance is reserved to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has already been committed; 1) for law enforcement purposes ($402,564), and 2) for tax increment financing activities ($10,387,046). The Economic Increments Construction Fund accounts for the activities in the City's Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Districts. The Fund's balance decreased by $2,856,621 resulting from the expenditure of tax increment collected in prior years for redevelopment purposes. The entire fund balance of $10,387,046 is reserved for TIF - related activities. The General Obligation Improvement Bonds Fund increased by $1,301,413 due to higher- than - expected assessment prepayments, and planned increases in property taxes necessary to pay off the Fund's internal loan.
