Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financial conditions. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. It should be noted that most of the unassigned amounts are designated by the City Council for specific uses. At the end of fiscal year 2020-21, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $135.3 million, an increase of $6.3 million compared to prior year. Approximately 6.0% or $8.1 million of the fund balance represents Nonspendable; 40.2% or $54.4 million represents Restricted, 7.0% or $9.5 million represents Assigned, and 46.8% or $63.3 million is Unassigned and available for spending at the City Council’s discretion.
