GOVERNMENT -WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
<br />As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. The
<br />City's assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by
<br />$206,017,246 at the close of December 2021. Total net position increased by $11,068,377 from current year
<br />operating results.
<br />By far, the largest portion of the City's net position (56 percent) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g.,
<br />land, buildings, machinery, infrastructure, and equipment), less any related debt used to acquire those assets that
<br />is still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets
<br />are not available for future spending. Although the City's investment in its capital assets is reported net of
<br />related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources,
<br />since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
<br />The following is a summary of the City's net position:

<br />The City's financial position is the product of many factors. For example, the determination of the City's net
<br />investment in capital assets involves many assumptions and estimates, such as current and accumulated
<br />depreciation amounts. A conservative versus a liberal approach to depreciation estimates, as well as
<br />capitalization policies, will produce a very significant difference in the calculated amounts.
<br />The City has taken a conservative financial approach, carefully analyzing revenues and expenditures/expenses
<br />to assure operation of a balanced budget. The ongoing management of revenue and expenditures/expenses has
<br />resulted in an upgraded bond rating. The City's AA+ bond rating was reaffirmed by Standard and Poor's (S&P)
<br />in September 2021. This has also allowed the City to continue to provide quality public services at a tax rate
<br />that is affordable.
