FUND STRUCTURE


              The accounting and budgeting system of the City of Colleyville is organized on a fund
              basis.    A  fund  may  be  defined  as  an  accounting  entity  with  a  separate  set  of  self

              budgeted  when  they  will  be  both  measurable  and  available.    Available  means
              collectible  within  the  current  period  or  60  days  thereafter  to  be  used  to  pay  the
              liabilities of the current period.  Expenditures are budgeted for when the liability  is
              expected to be incurred.
