Description/Agenda
Announcement of Budget Adoption That Includes or is Based on a Transfer of Money From an Enterprise Fund to Another Fund of the City of Logan For Fiscal Year 2025
In accordance with Utah State Law and Logan City budgeting practices, Logan City announces the adoption of a budget that includes a transfer of money from an enterprise fund to another fund of the City of Logan.
A transfer is the movement of cash or other resources from one fund to another. Logan City has incorporated transfers into established enterprise fund utility rates as a General Fund financing mechanism for many years. If budgeted and planned for correctly, transfers from enterprise funds can help to defray the cost of services such as public safety, public works, parks and recreation and general governmental services, and consequently, keep property taxes low. But for transfers, Logan City would either need to raise property taxes significantly or cut services significantly. Where private sector utility companies are in business to provide a return on investment to its shareholders, Logan City's shareholders, its taxpayers and citizens, receive this return on investment as a transfer to the General Fund.
Administrative fees are not the same as transfers. While transfers are a movement of cash or resources without compensation, administrative fees are charges for centralized services provided by the general fund to the other funds of the City. Such services include but are not limited to utility billing, accounting, payroll, legal, human resources, shops and garage, and facility management. Administrative fees are allocated by the finance department in a reasonable and rational manner.
The following are the proposed Fiscal Year 2025 transfers and administrative fees:
Please feel free to contact the Logan City Finance Department with questions.
