RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES, AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities (page 14) are different because: Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds (page 17) $ (6,293,347) Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. 8,230,512 The net effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (I.e. sales, trade-ins, and donations) is to decrease net assets. (11,885) Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources are not reported as revenues in the funds. 11,226,043 The issuance of long-term debt (I.e. bonds, leases) provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net assets. Also, governmental funds report the effect of issuance costs, premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities. This amount is the net effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term debt and related items. 2,943,671 Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds. (1,056,558) Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of health and liability insurance to individual funds. The net revenue of certain activities of internal service funds are reported with governmental activities. 1,341,669 Change in net assets of governmental activities (page 15) $ 16,380,105 The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCCOUNTING POLICIES The City of Fargo operates under a "mayor-commission" form of government under the Home Rule Charter. The accounting policies of the City, as reflected in the accompanying financial statements, conform to generally accepted accounting principles for local government units. The City implemented GASB Statement No. 43, Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other Than Pension Plans. This statement established uniform financial reporting standards for other postemployment benefit plans. Implementation had no material effect on the City s financial statements. The City implemented GASB Statement No. 44, Economic Condition Reporting: the Statistical Section. The objective of this statement is to improve the understandability and usefulness of the information presented in the statistical section. Implementation resulted in additional statistical information being reported. The City implemented GASB Statement No. 47, Accounting for Termination Benefits. This statement established accounting standards for termination benefits, sometimes referred to as early-retirement incentives. Implementation has no effect on the City s financial statements. The following is a summary of the City s significant accounting policies: A. REPORTING ENTITY The City is a primary government because it is a special-purpose government that has a separately elected governing body, is legally separate, and is fiscally independent of other state or local governments. Additionally, the City is not included in any other governmental reporting entity. Component units are legally separate organizations for which elected officials of the primary government are financially accountable. The City is financially accountable if it appoints a voting majority of the organization's governing body and is either: 1. able to impose its will on that organization or 2. there is potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose financial burdens on the City. The City may be financially accountable if an organization is fiscally dependent on the City. Component Unit - The City of Fargo Building Authority, a non-profit corporation, was formed for the purpose of providing funds to finance improvements on City property and for leasing property from the City. The directors of the Authority are made up of the City s Board of Commissioners, as well as the City Administrator and City Finance Director. The activity of the Authority is being reported as a blended component unit within the activities of the primary government. There are no separately issued statements for this component unit. B. GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANACIAL STATEMENTS The goal of government-wide financial statements is to present a broad overview of a government s finances. The basic statements that form the government-wide financial statements are the statement of net assets and the statement of activities. These two statements report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the government. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which are normally financed through taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which are normally financed through user fees and charges for goods or services. The statement of activities reports gross direct expenses by function reduced by program revenues. This results in a measurement of net revenue or expense for each of the government s activities. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function. Program revenues are directly associated with the function or business-type activity and include 1) charges for services and 30

2) operating or capital grants and contributions that are restricted to a particular function. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Separate financial statements are prepared for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION The government-wide, proprietary fund, and fiduciary pension trust fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Although agency funds have no measurement focus, they also use the accrual basis of accounting to recognize receivables and payables. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. Taxes, special assessments, intergovernmental revenue, permits, charges for services, pledges and investment income associated with the current fiscal period are the major revenues that are considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period to the extent they are collected in 60 days. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the City. The City reports the following major governmental funds: General Fund The general fund is the general operating fund of the City. All financial resources of the general government that are not required to be reported in another fund are accounted for in the general fund. Debt Service Fund The debt service funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for and the payment of general long-term debt principal and interest Infrastructure Capital Projects Fund The infrastructure capital projects fund is used to account for financial resources used in the construction of major capital facilities which includes infrastructure such as streets, sidewalks, street lighting, paving, sanitary storm sewers, water mains, sewer lines and other projects. The City reports the following major proprietary funds: Airport This fund accounts for the operations and construction activities of the Hector International Airport. 31

Water This fund accounts for the activities (revenues, operating and capital expenses) of the City s water system. The City receives user fee revenues derived from sale of water and other related services to the general public. Wastewater This fund accounts for the activities (revenues, operating and capital expenses) of the City s wastewater (sewer) disposal system. The City receives user fee revenues derived from providing sanitary sewer services to the public. Storm Sewer This fund accounts for the activities (revenues, operating and capital expenses) of the City s storm sewer system. The City receives user fee revenues derived from providing storm sewer services to the public. Solid Waste This fund accounts for the activities (revenues, operating and capital expenses) of the City s garbage utility. The City receives user fee revenues derived from providing garbage services to the public and operating a regional landfill. FargoDome This fund accounts for the operation of the FargoDome which is a multi-purpose regional event center that was constructed in 1989 and is used for conventions, sporting events, trade shows, concerts and other programs. The FargoDome has a maximum seating capacity of 28,000 and is currently operated under a management contract with Global Spectrum, Inc. In addition, the City reports for the following fund types: Internal Service Funds Internal service funds are used to account for the financing of goods or services provided by one department or agency to other departments or agencies of the city or to other governmental units on a cost reimbursement basis. The City has two internal service funds, the Liability Self Insurance fund and the Health Self Insurance fund. Pension Trust Funds Pension trust funds are used to account for the activities of the City Employees Pension Plan and the Police Pension Plan, which accumulates resources for pension benefit payments. Agency Funds Agency funds are used to account for assets held by the City as agent for other individuals, organizations, or governmental units. The City has two agency funds, the Performance Deposits fund and the Park District Special Assessments fund. The City has prepared its government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements in accordance with all applicable GASB pronouncements, as well as pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and its predecessors issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless those pronouncements conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements. As a general rule, the City has eliminated the effect of interfund activity from the government-wide financial statements. Exceptions to this rule are when various charges exist between different functions of the government (i.e. water and sewer charges to other various functions of the City). Elimination of these charges would distort direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned. Amounts reported as program revenues include the following: amounts received from those who purchase, use or directly benefit from a program; amounts received from parties outside the City that are restricted to one or more specific programs; and earnings on investments that are legally restricted for a specific program. Revenues that do not meet the previous criteria are reported as general revenues, including all taxes. Proprietary funds report operating revenues and expenses separately from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services or producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City s enterprise funds and internal service funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include 32

the costs of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. D. ASSETS, LIABILITIES, AND NET ASSETS OR EQUITY 1. Equity in Pooled Cash and Investments, Cash and Investments The City maintains a cash and investment pool that is used by all funds. Each fund's portion of the pool is displayed on the statements as "Equity in Pooled Cash and Investments." Interest income on such investments is allocated to certain funds on the basis of the participating funds balance in the cash and investments pool. In addition, investments are separately held by various funds. Investments are reported at fair value. Cash and cash equivalents, for the purposes of GASB Statement No. 9 include cash, demand deposits, and certificates of deposit with a maturity of less than three months at the time of purchase. 2. Receivables and payables All outstanding balances between funds are reported as due to/from other funds (current portion) or advances to/from other funds (non-current portion). Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as internal balances. Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources. The city is permitted under provisions of the Home Rule Charter to levy taxes as needed for general governmental services and payment of principal and interest on long-term debt. The current Home Rule Charter maximum mill levy is sixty-four mills. Total mills levied for 2006 were fifty-seven and one-quarter. All real estate is assessed on current value as of February 1 of each year. Property taxes are attached as an enforceable lien on the real estate and become due on January 1 of the year following the assessment date. A 5% reduction of taxes is allowed if taxes are paid in full by February 15. To avoid being delinquent, one-half of taxes due must be paid by March 1 and the remaining balance paid by October 15. Taxes are collected by the county and remitted monthly to the city no later than the 10 th working day following the month of collection. 3. Inventories and prepaid items Depending upon the nature of the item, inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using either first-in-first-out or specific identification. Also, and depending upon the nature of the item or the fund in which the inventory is recorded, the costs of inventories are recorded as expenses/expenditures when purchased, or when consumed rather than when purchased. The purchase method of accounting is used for reporting purposes in most governmental funds, whereby the cost of inventory items are recognized as expenditures when purchased. However, the NRI Loan Program governmental fund uses the consumption method under which an expenditure is recognized as the inventory is consumed. Reported inventories of governmental funds are equally offset by a fund balance reservation to indicate that portion of fund balance not available for future appropriation. Inventory recorded in proprietary funds is expensed as the supplies and materials are consumed. 33

Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements. 4. Restricted Assets Certain proceeds of the city s enterprise fund revenue bonds, as well as certain resources set aside for their repayment, are classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet because their use is limited by applicable bond covenants. Resources have been set aside for capital repair and upkeep of the FargoDome, as directed by Section 3-1509 of the Municipal Code. 5. Capital Assets Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost equal to or greater than $5,000, except for infrastructure networks which are capitalized in their entirety. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend lives are not capitalized. Property, plant and equipment of the government is depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives: 6. Compensated absences Asset Years Buildings 10 50 Improvements other than buildings 10 20 Infrastructure 20 100 Vehicles 3 10 Equipment 5 10 Office Equipment 5 10 Computer Equipment 3 5 It is the City s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits. Employees vest in sick leave accumulated in excess of 960 hours, which is paid out at 44.4% of their normal pay in December of every year. There is no liability for unpaid accumulated sick leave since the City does not have a policy to pay any amounts (other than the vested amounts paid out annually) when employees separate from service. All vacation pay is accrued when incurred in the government-wide, proprietary, and fiduciary fund financial statements. In the governmental funds, a liability would be reported only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee retirements or resignations. 7. Long-term obligations In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities or proprietary fund type statement of net assets. Bond premiums, discounts and issuance costs are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds on a straight-line basis over the term of the related issue. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the term of the related debt. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported 34
