CITY OF EUGENE, OREGON
<br />Notes to Basic Financial Statements
<br />(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
<br /> (N) Fund Balance, continued
<br />Resources that are constrained by the government’s intent to use them for a specific purpose, but are neither
<br />restricted nor committed, are reported as assigned fund balance. Intent is expressed when the City Council
<br />approves which resources should be “reserved” during the adoption of the annual budget. The City’s Finance
<br />Director uses that information to determine whether those resources should be classified as assigned or
<br />unassigned for presentation in the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
<br />Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification for the General Fund. This classification represents fund
<br />balance that has not been restricted, committed, or assigned within the General Fund. This classification is
<br />also used to report any negative fund balance amounts in other governmental funds.
<br />When both restricted and unrestricted (committed, assigned, or unassigned) resources are available for use, it
<br />is the City’s practice to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as needed. When an
<br />expenditure is incurred where an unrestricted fund balance classification could be used, the City’s practice is to
<br />use committed resources first, assigned resources second, and then unassigned amounts as they are needed.
<br />Fund balances by classification for the year ended June 30, 2011 were as follows:
