OTHER PROPRIETARY OR ENTERPRISE FUNDS
The provision of water and wastewater services has historically been the City’s only proprietary
or enterprise operation. As such, the City’s budget continues to label water and wastewater
operations as the “Enterprise Fund.” The City opened a state-of-the-art conference center as its
second proprietary or enterprise operation. Staff will continue to classify water and wastewater
operations as the City’s Enterprise Fund, but will also account for the Hurst Conference Center
Fund as an enterprise fund. A detailed description and financial information are located in this
