Notes to SEFA
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of the Utilities Board under programs of the federal government for the year ended September 30, 2025. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Utilities Board, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, activities, or cash flows of the Utilities Board.
Expenditures reported on the schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principle contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. This method is consistent with the preparation of the Utilities Board's financial statements.
The Utilities Board of the City of Linden has elected not to use the 10% de minimis cost rate under Uniform Guidance.
As of September 30, 2025, there was an outstanding balance of $87,959 on a loan that was obtained in the current year from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Principal payments will begin in 2026.
