        Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles.  Annual appropriated budgets are
        adopted for the General Fund and Debt Service Funds.  All appropriations for the General Fund and Debt Service Fund lapse
        at the end of the fiscal year (September 30).  Project length financial plans are approved by City Council for all Capital Projects
        Funds and Special Revenue Funds.

        Encumbrances  represent  commitments  related  to  underperformed  contracts  and  agreements  for  goods  and  services.
        Encumbrance accounting – under which purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for the expenditure of resources
        are recorded to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation – is utilized in the governmental funds.
