The reporting entity consists ofthe primary government, organizations for which the primary government is financially accountable, and otherorganizations for which the primary government is not accountable, but for which the nature and significance oftheir relationship with the primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entitysfinancial statements to be misleading or incomplete.Financial accountability exists if a primary government appoints a voting majority of an organizations governingBoard and is either able to impose its will on that organization or there is a potential for the organization toprovide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on, the primary government. A primarygovernment may also be financially accountable for governmental organizations with a separately electedgoverning Board, a governing Board appointed by another government, or a jointly appointed Board that isfiscally dependent on the primary government.In accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board requirements, the City has reviewed other entitiesand activities for possible inclusion in the reporting entity and determined that there are none; however, federalfinancial assistance passed through other governmental agencies is included on the schedule.NOTE 2 MEASUREMENT FOCUS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTINGThe federal and state grant funds were accounted for in the Special Revenue Funds and within the General Fund.The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. TheGovernmental Fund types are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus.

This basis of accountingrecognizes revenues in the accounting period in which they become susceptible to accrual, i.e., both measurableand available, and expenditures in the accounting period in which the fund liability is incurred, if measurable,except for certain compensated absences and claims and judgments, which are recognized when the obligationsare expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources.NOTE 3 SUBRECIPIENTSDuring the year ended September 30, 2022, the City had no subrecipients.
