<br />Proprietary funds. When the City of Elk River charges customers for the services it provides - whether to outside
<br />customers or to other departments of the City - these services are generally reported in proprietary funds. Proprietary
<br />funds are reported in the same way that all activities are reported in the statement of net assets and the statement of
<br />revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets. The enterprise funds are the same as the business-type activities reported in
<br />the government-wide statements but provide more detail and additional information, such as cash flows, for proprietary
<br />funds. The City of Elk River uses enterprise funds to account for its municipal liquor, garbage, sewer, water, and electric
<br />operations.
<br />
<br />The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 25 - 32 of this report.
<br />
<br />Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government
<br />Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not
<br />available to support the City of Elk River's own program. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used
<br />for proprietary funds.
<br />
<br />The basic fiduciary fund fmancial statements can be found on page 33 of this report.
<br />
<br />Notes to Financial Statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the
<br />data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on
<br />pages 34 - 56 of this report.
<br />
<br />Other Information. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds and
<br />internal service funds are presented immediately following the notes to financial statements. Combining and individual
<br />fund statements and schedules can be found on pages 57 - 75 of this report.
<br />
<br />Government-wide Financial Analysis
<br />
<br />As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. In the case of
<br />the City of Elk River, assets exceeded liabilities by $175,618,989 at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
<br />
<br />By far, the largest portion of the City of Elk River's net assets (73 percent) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g.,
<br />land, buildings, machinery, and equipment), less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The
<br />City of Elk River uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for
<br />future spending. Although the City of Elk River's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should
<br />be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets
<br />themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
