CITY OF ROSEVILLE, MINNESOTA <br />NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS <br />December 31, 2024 <br />9. Fund balance <br /> <br />a. Classification <br /> <br />In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund classifications that comprise <br />hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the <br />specific purpose for which amounts in those funds can be spent. <br /> <br /> Nonspendable Fund Balance Î These are amounts that cannot be spent because they are <br />not in spendable form. <br /> <br /> Restricted Fund Balance Î These are amounts that are restricted to specific purposes <br />either by a) constraints placed on the use of resources by creditors, grantors, contributors, <br />or laws or regulations of other governments or b) imposed by law through enabling <br />legislation. <br /> <br /> Committed Fund Balance Î These are amounts that can only be used for specific purposes <br />pursuant to constraints imposed by the City Council (highest level of decision-making <br />authority) through resolution. <br /> <br /> Assigned Fund Balance Î These are amounts that are constrained by the CityÓs intent to <br />be used for specific purposes but are neither restricted nor committed. Pursuant to Council <br />resolution, the City Council is authorized to establish assignments of fund balance. <br /> <br /> Unassigned Fund Balance Î These are residual amounts in the General Fund not reported <br />in any other classification. The General Fund is the only fund that can report a positive <br />unassigned fund balance. Other funds would report a negative unassigned fund balance <br />should the total of nonspendable, restricted and committed fund balances exceed the total <br />net resources of that fund. <br /> <br />When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the CityÓs policy to first <br />use restricted resources, and then use unrestricted resources as they are needed. When <br />committed, assigned, or unassigned resources are available for use, it is the CityÓs policy to use <br />resources in the following order: 1) committed, 2) assigned, and 3) unassigned. <br /> <br />b. Minimum Fund Balance <br /> <br />It is the CityÓs policy that at the end of each year, the City will maintain the unrestricted portion <br />of the fund balance for cash flow in a range equal to 35% to 50% of the General Fund operating <br />expenditures budgeted for next year. At December 31, 2024 this percentage was 38% and <br />therefore the minimum fund balance was met. <br /> <br />10.
