CITY OF ORONO <br />RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES, AND <br />CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES <br />GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES <br />YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />See accompanying Notes to Basic Financial Statements. <br />(24) <br /> <br />Net Change in Fund Balances-Total Governmental Funds (543,159)$ <br />Capital Outlays - Improvement Costs (Net of Proceeds) 1,937,277$ <br />Gain (Loss) on Disposal of Capital Assets 6,466 <br />Proceeds from the Sale of Capital Assets (17,610) <br />Depreciation Expense (702,589) 1,223,544 <br />Principal Payments for Capital Leases 5,562 5,562 <br />Amortization of Bond Premium 14,234 <br />Repayment of Bond Principal 1,010,000 <br />Change in Accrued Interest Expense 21,837 1,046,071 <br />Deferred Inflows of Resources - December 31, 2014 130,945 <br />Deferred Inflows of Resources - December 31, 2015 53,768 (77,177) <br />(60,597) <br />(91,798) <br />(24,595) <br />Change in Net Position of Governmental Activities 1,477,851$ <br />In the statement of activities, compensated absences and other postemployment benefits are <br />measured by the amounts earned during the year. In the governmental funds, however, <br />expenditures for these items are measured by the amount of financial resources used (essentially, <br />the amounts actually paid). During fiscal year 2015, compensated absence payable and other post <br />employment benefits payable changed. <br />Internal service funds are used by the City to charge the costs of insurance to individual funds. The <br />net revenue of the Internal Service Funds is reported with governmental activities. <br />Some capital asset additions are financed through capital leases. In governmental funds, a capital <br />lease arrangement is considered a source of financing, but in the statement of net position, the <br />lease obligation is reported as a liability. <br />Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because: <br />Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures and proceeds from sale of capital <br />assets as revenues. However, in the statement of activities, assets are capitalized and the cost is <br />allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is the <br />amount by which depreciation exceeded capital outlays in the current period. <br />The governmental funds report bond proceeds as financing sources, while repayment of bond <br />principal is reported as an expenditure. In the statement of net position, however, issuing debt <br />increases long-term liabilities and does not affect the statement of activities and repayment of <br />principal reduces the liability. Interest is recognized as an expenditure in the governmental funds <br />when it is due. In the statement of activities, however, interest expense is recognized as it <br />accrues, regardless of when it is due. The net effect of these differences in the treatment of <br />general obligation bonds and related items is as follows: <br />Delinquent and certain other property taxes and special assessments receivable will be collected <br />subsequent to year-end, but are not available soon enough to pay for the current period’s <br />expenditures and, therefore, are reported as deferred inflows of resources and excluded from <br />revenues in the governmental funds. <br />Pension expenses in the governmental funds are measured by current year employee <br />contributions. Pension expenses on the Statement of Activities are measured by the change in net <br />pension liability and the related deferred inflows and outflows of resources. <br />
