CITY OF ROSEVILLE, MINNESOTA MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For Year Ended December 31, 2015 OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found in the Basic Financial Statements section of this report. Proprietary Funds — The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government- wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its Sanitary Sewer, Water, Golf Course, Solid Waste Recycling, and Storm Drainage operations. Internal service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City's various functions. The City uses its internal service funds to account for Workers' Compensation Self Insurance and Risk Management. The services provided by these funds predominately benefit the governmental rather than the business-type functions. They have been included within governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the Sanitary Sewer, Water, Golf Course, Solid Waste Recycling, and Storm Drainage since they are considered to be major funds of the City. Both internal service funds are combined into a separate single aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report. The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found in the Basic Financial Statements section of this report. Fiduciary Funds — Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City's own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary fu nds. The basic fiduciary fund financial statements can be found in the Basic Financial Statements section of this report. Notes to the Financial Statements The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. Other Supplementary Information In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, Required Supplementary lnformation, presents a detailed budgetary comparison schedule for the General, Recreation and the Community Development Fund to demonstrate compliance with the budget. In accordance with the requirements of GASB Statement 45, it also includes other post-employment benefit plan schedule of funding progress. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds and internal service funds and other information related to the individual funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary information. 17
