Title: Note 2 ‐ Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The City accounts for awards under federal programs in the general and special revenue governmental funds. In the governmental funds, these programs are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds present increases (i.e. revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (i.e. expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. The modified accrual basis of accounting is used for these funds. This basis of accounting recognizes revenues in the accounting period in which they become susceptible to accrual, i.e., both measurable and available, and expenditures in the accounting period in which the liability is incurred, if measurable, except for certain compensated absences and claims and judgments, which are recognized when the obligations are expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources. Expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited to reimbursement. Pass‐through entity identifying numbers are presented where available. Federal grants are considered to be earned to the extent of expenditures made under the provisions of the grant, and, accordingly, when such funds are received, they are recorded as unearned revenues until earned. Generally, unused balances are returned to the grantor at the close of specified project periods. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: See Note 3. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the “Schedule”) includes the federal grant activity of the City under programs of the federal government for the year ended September 30, 2023. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Because the schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the City, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position or cash flows of the City.

The City has elected not to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
