CITY OF SAN LEANDRO NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For The Year Ended June 30, 2019 NOTE 1— SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) J. Compensated Absences Vested vacation, sick leave, compensatory time, and related benefits are accrued as appropriate. For governmental funds, compensated absence obligations are recorded in the appropriate governmental funds when due. The portion not currently due is recorded in the government -wide financial statements. For enterprise funds, compensated absences are expensed when earned by employees. At year-end, the accrued but unpaid compensated absence obligations are recorded as current and non-current liabilities in the appropriate enterprise funds. K. Property Taxes Property taxes are placed on lien January 1 for the following fiscal year. Taxes are payable in two installments, due on November 1 and February 1, becoming delinquent on December 10 (for November) and April 10 (for February), respectively. The Alameda County Tax Collector bills and collects property taxes and allocates a portion to the City. Property tax revenues are recognized in the fiscal year, for which the taxes have been levied, provided they become available. In January 1994, the City elected to continue collection of interest and penalties on delinquent taxes and recognizes these revenues when available. Available means when due or past due and collected within the current period, or expected to be collected soon thereafter, and to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. L. Deferred Inflows/Outflows of Resources In addition to assets, the statement of financial position or balance sheets reports a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred ou flows of resources, represents a consumption of net position or fund balance that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position or balance sheet reports a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position or fund balance that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. M. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires City management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. W11
