Glossary of Terms

Agency funds are used to report resources held by the
reporting government in a purely custodial capacity
(assets equal liabilities).
Appropriation – An authorization made by the City
Council that permits officials to incur obligations
against and to make expenditures of resources.
Appropriations are usually made for fixed amounts and
are typically granted for a one-year period.
Assessed Valuation – The value of real property and
improvements, as determined by the County Assessor,
against which the property tax levy is assessed.
Asset – Resources owned or held by a government
that have a monetary value.
Balanced Budget – A balanced budget is defined as a
budget where the anticipated operating revenues and
other financing resources including carryover of
outstanding encumbrances from prior year are equal to
or exceed operating expenditures.
Bond – A financial obligation for which the issuer
promises to pay the bondholder a specified stream of
future cash flows, including periodic interest payments and a principal repayment.
Budget – A plan of financial operation embodying an
estimate of proposed expenditures for a given period of time and the proposed means of financing them.
Budget Calendar – The schedule of key dates which
City government follows in preparation and adoption of
the budget.
Building Permit Fee – Fee required for new
construction or for any alteration or addition to a
residence or commercial building. The fee is based on

requires a similar permit with an itemized fee schedule.
Business License Tax – A tax imposed upon
businesses in the community. The fee is a flat rate plus a minimal charge per employee.
Capital Assets – Assets of significant value and
having a useful life of several years (the term fixed
assets is also used).
Capital Budget – A plan of proposed capital
expenditures and the appropriations to finance them.
The capital budget is usually enacted as part of the
complete annual budget that includes both an
operating component and a capital component. The
capital budget should be based on a capital
improvement program (CIP) and is typically the first
year of a multi-year CIP.
Capital Improvement – Projects which purchase or
construct capital assets. Typically capital improvements include new street improvements, park development,
the acquisition of land, major construction of public
facilities, and major maintenance/repair projects such
as street resurfacing or modifications to public facilities.
Capital Improvement Program – A comprehensive
five-year plan of implementing proposed capital
projects which identifies priorities as to need, cost, and method of financing during the next five years. The first year of the CIP is typically adopted as the current
capital budget.
Capital Projects Fund – Fund type used to account
for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by proprietary funds).
Contractual Services – Services rendered to a
government by private firms, individuals, or other
governmental agencies. Examples include utilities,
rent, maintenance agreements and professional
consulting services.
Debt Service – Payment of interest and repayment of
principal to holders of the City's debt instruments.
Department – An organizational unit of government
which is functionally unique in its delivery of services.
Effectiveness – The degree to which an entity,
program or procedure is successful at achieving its

procedure is successful at achieving its goals and
objectives with the least use of scarce resources.

restricted use, i.e. self-insurance programs, capital
improvement projects, or for unrestricted use to protect the City from emergencies or unanticipated
