The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on <br />near -term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in <br />assessing the City's financial requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as <br />a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal <br />year. It should, however be noted that most of the unreserved amounts have been designated by <br />City Council for specific uses. <br />As of June 30, 2010, the City's governmental funds, including the general, special reserve, debt <br />service, capital projects, and Redevelopment funds, reported combined ending fund balances of <br />$59.7 million, a decrease of $13.6 million in comparison with the prior year. Approximately, <br />$35.4 million is reserved to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has <br />already been committed 1) to pay for existing contracts and purchase order 2) to pay debt <br />services, and 3) property held for resale. $12.7 million is not reserved (which is in the general <br />fund), but is designated and is subject to restrictions relating to the various funding sources. The <br />remaining $9.7 million is unreserved and undesignated to various funds. <br />The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current fiscal year <br />unreserved, designated fund balance of the General Fund was $12.7 million, while total fund <br />balance was $26.4 million. As a measure of the general fund's liquidity, it may be useful to <br />compare both unreserved fund balance and total fund balance to the total fund expenditures. <br />Unreserved fund balance represents 17.1 % of that same amount. The General Fund balance <br />decreased by $3.3 million during the fiscal year. <br />Redevelopment Agency Capital Improvement Fund - The Redevelopment Agency is <br />responsible for the planning and implementation of the City's Redevelopment Plan for the three <br />Project Areas established under the Community Redevelopment Law. The Agency's operations <br />are funded primarily by the issuance of debt, which is expected to be repaid out of property tax <br />increment revenue generated by increases in property assessed values in the redevelopment <br />project areas. The reserved fund balance at the end of fiscal year was $12.4 million, a decrease <br />of $11.6 million from the prior fiscal year. The decrease is attributable to the completion of the <br />110 <br />
