<br />FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY'S FUNDS
<br />Governmental Funds — At the end of the fiscal year, the City's Governmental Funds reported combined ending
<br />fund balances of $64,704,872, an increase of $3,268,356 in comparison with the prior year. The increase is
<br />largely attributed to the issuance of $8,315,000 General Obligation Bonds in 2023. The General Fund reported
<br />a fund balance increase of $1,170,863 in the current year. The increase is attributed to the City's fund balance
<br />policy which states that ending fund balance shall be equal to fifty percent (50%) of the next years adopted
<br />operating budget, plus prior -year encumbrances (if any) plus compensated absences. The favorable revenue
<br />variance helped the City to meet the fund balance policy goal.
