City of Oakwood, Ohio
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For The Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2024
reported only on the governmental funds balance sheet, and represents receivables which will not be collected within the available period. For the City, unavailable revenue includes interest. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period the amounts become available. The details of these unavailable revenues are identified on the reconciliation of total governmental fund balance to net position of governmental activities found on page 18. Deferred inflows of resources related to pension and OPEB plans are reported on the government-wide statement of net position. (See Notes 5 and 6).
Net Position
Net position is reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use either through enabling legislation adopted by the City or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors or laws or regulations of other governments. The City applies restricted resources when an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net position is available. Of the City’s $3,089,524 in restricted net position, none was restricted by enabling legislation.
Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Grants and Other Intergovernmental Revenues
All reimbursement-type grants are recorded as intergovernmental receivables and revenues or deferred inflows of resources when the related expenditures are incurred.
Interfund Transactions and Transfers
During the course of normal operations, the City has numerous transactions among funds, most of which are in the form of transfers used to move unrestricted revenues collected in the general fund to finance various programs accounted for in other funds in accordance with budgetary authorizations. The accompanying financial statements generally reflect such transactions as transfers, with the exception of the internal service fund which is used to account for various supplies and services which are then charged back to the appropriate fund on an “as used” basis. The internal service fund records such charges as operating revenues; all other City funds record payments to the internal service fund as operating expenditures.
Note 2 – Equity in Pooled Cash and Investments
The City maintains a cash and investments pool that is available for use by all funds. Money for all funds, including the City of Oakwood Health District, a blended component unit, and proprietary funds, is maintained in this pool. Individual fund integrity is maintained through the City’s records. Each fund’s interest in the pooled bank account is presented as “pooled cash and investments” on the financial statements.
