Notice of Adoption of Fiscal Year 2018-2019 Budget Transfers from Enterprise Funds

Purpose:              Notification of adoption of the proposed fiscal year 2018-2019 budget and transfers from Enterprise (Business-type) Funds to Other Funds.

 

Background:       The City of St. George, Utah held its public hearings on June 7, 2018 to review and take public comment regarding the proposed fiscal year 2018-2019 budget and transfers from Enterprise (Business-type) Funds to Other Funds and the Council approved the adoption of the transfers from the Enterprise Funds to Other Funds.

 

The City of St. George General Fund provides administrative and overhead services to the enterprise (business-type) funds. These services include utility billing, payment collection and customer service functions, as well as indirect costs for human resources, legal, technology, fleet maintenance and other administrative services. The City calculates the estimated costs to provide these services to the enterprise funds; and each enterprise fund transfers their proportionate share of the costs to the General Fund. If these functions were not provided by the General Fund, the enterprise funds would need to hire additional employees and pay the direct personnel, materials and supplies, and equipment costs and/or hire consultants and pay their fees. City Management believes the amount transferred to the General Fund is less than the value of the services received and/or the amount which would be billed by a third party.

 

The enterprise funds also participate in capital projects with other funds. The total capital projects’ costs are expensed in the other funds and each enterprise fund transfers their proportionate share of the costs. By participating with the other funds, the City is saving costs by combining like projects with the different funds. For fiscal year 2018-2019, the transfers are budgeted as follows:
