This amount represents the change in net assets of <br />the Internal Service Fund, which is reported with governmental activities. <br />(7,455,000) <br />1,810,000 <br />(59,286) <br />76,567 <br />Governmental activities — compensated absences payable (56,681) <br />(72,930) <br />(20,361) <br />Change in net assets — governmental activities $ 1,810,089 <br />
