City Budget: 18 Funds Explained

"The financial structure of the City is organized and operated based on fund accounting. There are both federal and state requirements for local governments to budget by fund as a means of maintaining records for resources which are designated to carry out specific activities or meet objectives. Oregon Administrative rules define a fund as, “a fiscal and accounting entity with self-balancing accounts to record cash and other financial resources, related liabilities, balances and changes, all segregated for specific, regulated activities and objectives with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations.” (Page 44, Adopted Budget FY 25-26)
