2024 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report

CITY OF SHAKOPEE

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2024

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)

Description of Funds: (Continued)

Internal Service Funds: (Continued)

The City’s internal service funds are allocated between governmental and business-type activities and are combined, as allocated in Note 2, with the respective governmental activities and business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements.

Fiduciary Fund:

Southwest Metro Drug Task Force Custodial Fund – This Fund accounts for the activity related to the task force held by the City in a strictly custodial capacity.

Component Unit Funds:

Electric Fund – This Fund accounts for the operations of the SPUC’s electric utility.

Water Fund – This Fund accounts for the operations of the SPUC’s water utility.

As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are payments, where the amounts are reasonably equivalent in value to the interfund services provided and other charges between the City’s utility function and various other functions of the City. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the enterprise funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
