We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in <br />conjunction with the CityÓs financial statements and the additional information that we have <br />furnished in our letter of transmittal, which can be found on pages 3 through 6 of this report. <br />Financial Highlights <br />The assets and deferred outflows of the City of Roseville exceeded its liabilities and deferred <br />inflows at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $218,301,920 (Net position). Of this amount, <br />$22,646,869 (unrestricted net position) may be used to meet the governmentÓs ongoing obligations <br />to citizens and creditors in accordance with the City's fund designations and fiscal policies. <br />The CityÓs total net position from operations increased by $10,224,249. <br />As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City of RosevilleÓs governmental activities reported <br />combined ending unrestricted net position of $14,773,190. <br />At the end of the current fiscal year, unrestricted fund balance for the general fund was $8,874,375 <br />or 37.54% of total general fund expenditures. <br />The City of Roseville total bonded debt decreased by $2,350,000 during the current fiscal year. <br />This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the CityÓs basic financial <br />statements. The CityÓs basic financial statements are comprised of three components: <br />1)government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements and 3) notes to the <br />financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the <br />basic financial statements themselves. <br />Government-wide Financial Statements <br />The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview <br />of the CityÓs finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. <br />The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the CityÓs assets and deferred <br />outflows, and liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference between the two <br />reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful <br />indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating. To assess the <br />overall health of the City, one needs to consider additional non-financial factors such as changes <br />in the CityÓs property tax base and the condition of the CityÓs infrastructure. <br />The S tatement of Activities presents information showing how the CityÓs net position changed <br />during the fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported when the underlying event giving <br />rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows. Thus, revenues and <br />expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in the <br />future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused compensated absences). <br />Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are <br />principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from <br />functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees <br />and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City include general <br />government, public safety, public works, economic development and recreation. The business- <br />17 <br />Qbhf!49!pg!494 <br /> <br />
