Fund accounting reflects the fact that cities provide many different services. Different types of resources are used to pay for these services, including nonexchange transactions (e.g., property tax, grants, etc.), and exchange transactions (e.g., user fees, licenses, etc.). The City of Idaho Falls (the City) utilizes two types of accounting funds, governmental funds and proprietary funds.

The government-wide and proprietary finances are reported using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. The City budget is prepared using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they have been earned and they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City of Idaho Falls considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service principal and interest expenditures on general long-term debt, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. General capital asset acquisitions, including entering into contracts giving the City the right to use leased assets, are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Issuance of long-term debt and financing under capital leases are reported as other financing sources. FISCAL YEAR 2026/2027 CITY OF IDAHO FALLS BUDGET ASSUMPTIONS The following assumptions were used in the creation of enclosed budget documents. • Salaries and wages of regular employees (also known as benefited employees) were calculated with the following adjustments a. General employees - 2% wage increase in addition to step and grade changes b. Fire Union employees - 2% wage increase in addition to step and grade changes c. Idaho Falls Power Department - 6% estimated Milliman study adjustment • Health benefits were calculated using a 5.0% increase for medical, 5.0% increase for vision, and 10.0% for dental insurance. This assumes no plan changes or changes to the employer/employee split. The City has continued health insurance savings to smooth future funding of health insurance changes. • Interdepartmental charges were reviewed and changes were made from the previous year. The allocable value of interdepartmental charges are based on their respective five year average of actuals. • The Customer Information System (CIS) Utility Billing Software Replacement Project is estimated to spend $2 million, and will be funded by benefitting Idaho Falls Power and Public Works departments. • Uses of accumulated Municipal Equipment Replacement Funds (MERF) are budgeted within departments and divisions as MERF Expenditures and not in a separate fund. Resources set aside in the current year towards future MERF equipment are budgeted for as MERF Allocation and the previous year’s accumulated resources for the purchase of MERF equipment are presented within the Revenues and Resources within the Estimated Beginning Fund Balance. • Grant obligations are included in each department and division and are represented as offsetting intergovernmental revenue and grant expenditures. Departments were instructed to include grants and contributions that have been awarded. Planned applications or recently submitted applications for grants and contributions should not be included in the budget. If new awards are received during an approved budget year, the department receiving the award will be provided contingency budget authority for those awards. • Property taxes are assumed to increase by the statutorily allowed 3% increase and the assumed increase related to growth and annexation estimated at $1,114,502 is included. An estimated $538,354 of 1% forgone property tax for operations is also included to fund public safety personnel costs. An additional $350,000 in capital construction forgone property tax is assumed and included in the proposed budget to fund fire station bathroom and training facility capital improvements. 21 CITY OF IDAHO FALLS | Proposed Annual Budget 2027 FINANCIAL OVERVIEW IDAHO FALLS OVERVIEW FINANCIAL OVERVIEW DEPARTMENT/ FUND BUDGETS INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS GLOSSARY • Services provided directly to Enterprise funds from the Governmental funds have been allocated directly to those departments and divisions. • Estimated Beginning Fund Balance has been included in the Additional Resources section to show the resources accumulated or available to fund contingencies, and current or future departmental needs. • Reserves have also been included in the Additional Resources section to demonstrate the funds restricted for debt service or accumulated to fund future capital needs, self-insurance, health insurance changes, conservation, or rate stabilization. • Contingency has been included in each fund as applicable to provide excess budget authority, as needed, for fiscal year-end encumbrances, contracts and projects budgeted that may not be completed or received by the end of FY2025/26. FINANCIAL OVERVIEW CITY OF IDAHO FALLS | Proposed Annual Budget 2027 22 IDAHO FALLS OVERVIEW FINANCIAL OVERVIEW DEPARTMENT/ FUND BUDGETS INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS GLOSSARY FINANCIAL PRACTICES & POLICIES ACCOUNTING, AUDITING, AND FINANCIAL REPORTING PRACTICES & POLICIES The City of Idaho Falls fiscal year starts on October 1 and ends on September 30. The fiscal year referred to as “Fiscal Year 2026/2027” or “FY 2027” begins on October 1, 2026. Prior fiscal year budget and actual data through this document allows for comparison and a look back at historical data. This data represents the original numbers adopted and actual numbers at the end of the prior fiscal year without any adjustments included. The budget is allocated, approved, and spent with a specific purpose given by the City Council (Council) to the Mayor. The Council consists of six council members and is elected on a non-partisan basis. Their duties regarding budget include passing ordinances, allocating and adopting the City-wide budget, and working with Department Directors as assigned by the Mayor. The Mayor’s duties include day-to-day operations of the City and carrying out policies, ordinances, and spending given by Council regarding the budget. The budget includes an estimate of anticipated revenues. The Council establishes by ordinance and state statute the authorization to collect revenues such as property taxes, fees, and other revenues. The Council has the authority to levy a property tax on both real and personal properties within its boundaries. The City uses an encumbrance accounting system to provide budgetary control over City expenditures. Encumbrances represent commitments related to unperformed contracts for goods or services. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are reported as committed or assigned fund balances and do not constitute expenditures or liabilities because the commitments will be re-budgeted and re-encumbered during the subsequent year. Any budget transfer within an individual fund by management does not require formal Council approval. These adjustments are made through Finance and Department Directors. Idaho state law does allow the Council to amend the original appropriation ordinance. The budget includes the general, special revenue (including impact fees), capital project, and enterprise funds. The level of control (level at which expenditures, including encumbrances, should not exceed budget) is the fund. The legal level of control is the appropriation ordinance. Idaho state law sets forth the requirements for the City budgeting process. Idaho Code Title 50 Sections 236, 1002, 1004, and 1005A govern the estimation of revenues, expenditures, accumulation and use of surplus, and public hearing requirements necessary for the adoption of the annual budget and any subsequent amendments. It is the City’s policy that “one-time” resource inflows not be used for operating purposes. All grants received are designated and spent for the purposes that are stated in the grant award. INVESTMENT POLICY The policy of the City of Idaho Falls is to invest its funds in a manner that will provide the maximum security, while meeting the daily cash flow demands, and in a manner that will provide the highest investment return for the City, and conforming to all state and local statutes governing the investment of public funds, using the “prudent person” standard for managing the overall portfolio. The primary objective of the policy is safety (preservation of capital), liquidity, then yield. 23 CITY OF IDAHO FALLS | Proposed Annual Budget 2027 FINANCIAL PRACTICES & POLICIES IDAHO FALLS OVERVIEW FINANCIAL OVERVIEW DEPARTMENT/ FUND BUDGETS INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS GLOSSARY PROCUREMENT POLICY The City of Idaho Falls adheres to Idaho Code, City statute, and internal purchasing guidelines for the procurement of goods and services. Prior to the procurement of a good or service, the Purchasing division and the operational departments determine whether there is the need for a bid process (formal or informal), the need to obtain quotes, post a request for proposal, post a request for qualifications, or if approval is needed by the Mayor or Council. Under the Procurement Policy adopted April 23, 2026, a purchase order must also be created before the procurement of any good or service over $5,000. Requisitions follow an approval process before purchase orders are issued. All purchases over $5,000 are approved by the Department Director and purchases over $100,000 for Enterprise funds and the Mayor’s office, and over $75,000 for all other departments, are approved by Council. PERSONNEL POSITION CLASSIFICATION The Department Director and Mayor may change a personnel position to a different classification other than what was approved in the budget. Any classification changes that require a higher pay range are approved by the Human Resources Director and Mayor. New personnel positions that change the overall headcount are approved by the Council. RESERVE POLICY The City’s General Fund is working to have a reserve of 25% of its net operating budgeted expenditures to cover emergency purchases, economic fluctuations and capital planning. Currently, the City’s General Fund reserve is 12.8% and any savings during a fiscal year are allocated to a segregated reserve account. The Enterprise funds reserve funds for future capital replacement and rate stabilization of the underlying assets attributed to providing the service. CAPITAL ASSET POLICY Capital assets, including property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g. roads, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements as well as the proprietary fund financial statements. The City capitalization threshold for capitalizing property, plant, and equipment is generally an initial cost of more than $10,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of two years. Infrastructure, water and wastewater lines, wells, electrical distribution and transmission lines and generation facility costs are summarized at year-end and recorded as summary totals for the year. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation. Acquisition value is the price that would be paid to acquire an asset with equivalent service potential on the date of the donation. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value or capacity of the asset or materially extend the life of the asset are not capitalized. MUNICIPAL EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT FUNDS (MERF) The Council established an equipment replacement policy many years ago to ensure that each department would have funds available to retain or replace existing equipment. Each year departments are charged a percentage of the total value of the equipment they need replaced in the future. This is called MERF Allocation. This allows each department to not only plan for the future replacement but to also have the funds to do so. Utility funds are not held to the same policy since they already have these expenditures in their respective capital plans and reserve balances.

Some of the changes in revenue are listed below: Changes in Revenue: • The adopted property tax increase approved by Council is the State statutory allowable 3% increase, new construction and annexation added in the previous year, 1% forgone property tax for operations for public safety personnel, and $350,000 in Capital Construction forgone property tax for recreation facility and fire station and training facility improvements. • The City’s charges for services revenue is expected to increase by 13.6% over the prior year. This increase is attributed to growth and rate increases primarily in the City’s utility services of power, fiber, water, sanitation, and wastewater. • Licenses and permits are estimated to decrease by 30.9% due to an estimated shift to primarily residential development compared to prior fiscal years which have had large commercial and multi-family projects. • Intergovernmental revenues are expected to decrease by 3.3% from the prior year. While the state shared revenues, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) fund Medicaid Ground Emergency Medical Transport (GEMT) are estimated to increase, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding will be fully spent causing a decrease. The Fire Department has re-budgeted the Hazmat grant for equipment ordered and expected to be received in FY2026/2027 and the Airport has been awarded multiple grants for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) funded improvements, including terminal expansions. • The Airport estimates a need for $5 million for terminal expansion improvements which is a reduction from the previous year due to grant awards. This year the budget also includes an Additional Resource section to show the projection of $197.4 million in Estimated Beginning Fund Balance and $129.1 million of that held in reserve for various needs including future capital, rate stabilization, conservation, debt service, self insurance, and health insurance.

Property tax is the allocation of costs for City services to citizens. Property tax revenues are used for core services of police, fire, parks and recreation, streets, library, community development, and general administration. The City does not directly charge property owners or assess tax to citizens. Bonneville County (the County) is responsible for billing and collecting property taxes. The County assesses taxes to property owners by property value. The County Assessor establishes a value for each property. Property owners have a right to contest values assessed through the County’s appeal process. Once assessed values are established, the County calculates a levy rate by dividing the total certified tax amount from the City by the total assessed value. This levy rate is then applied to each property owner’s assessed value. A table presented below shows a history of the City’s certified tax requests, and the calculated levy rate. The State of Idaho (the State) outlines and governs how governments can certify tax increases. The State allows taxing districts to increase their property tax request by up to 3% plus the value of new construction and annexation properties added to the City in the previous year that were not included in the City’s total assessed value. The State limits the total increase to be no greater than 8%. If the City does not use the full amount of the 3% allowable of the new construction and annexation, then the remaining amount can be reserved for future years. The reserving of certified tax dollars is called forgone. The City is allowed to use accumulated forgone property taxes through a limited levy. The City is not reserving any additional forgone in Fiscal Year 2026/2027, and is using 1% operating forgone to fund public safety personnel in an amount expected to be $538,354. An additional $350,000 in capital construction forgone property tax is proposed to fund recreation facility improvements and fire station bathroom and training facility improvements. The operating and capital use of forgone would leave a remaining accumulated forgone amount of $4,638,807. The tables presented below show how the allowable property tax is determined. 27 CITY OF IDAHO FALLS | Proposed Annual Budget 2027 REVENUE AND RESOURCE HIGHLIGHTS IDAHO FALLS OVERVIEW FINANCIAL OVERVIEW DEPARTMENT/ FUND BUDGETS INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS GLOSSARY PROPERTY TAX ALLOCATION Current Allocation Property Tax by Request Difference Fire Capital Improvement Fund $ - $ - $ - General Fund 42,586,820 45,684,368 3,097,548 Library Fund 3,042,763 3,335,707 292,944 Public Works Capital Improvement Fund 790,000 813,700 23,700 Recreation Fund 1,187,466 1,223,090 35,624 Street Fund 2,953,380 3,041,981 88,601 $ 50,560,429 $ 54,098,846 $ 3,538,417 PROPERTY TAX TABLE 2023 2024 2025 2026 (Estimated) 2027 Valuation $ 7,052,741,278 $ 8,296,469,966 $ 8,103,605,399 $ 8,660,283,169 $ 8,943,805,451 Certified Property tax $ 42,697,326 $ 44,838,106 $ 47,681,429 $ 50,560,429 $ 54,098,846 Levy Rate 0.0060540040 0.0054044800 0.0058839760 0.0058381958 0.0060487503 Estimated 3.3% increase for property valuation REVENUE AND RESOURCE HIGHLIGHTS CITY OF IDAHO FALLS | Proposed Annual Budget 2027 28 IDAHO FALLS OVERVIEW FINANCIAL OVERVIEW DEPARTMENT/ FUND BUDGETS INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS GLOSSARY EXPENDITURE HIGHLIGHTS The total adopted budget for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 is $393.5 million. Expenditures increased by $3.8 million (1.0%) compared to the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 adopted budget of $389.6 million. Personnel Costs - This year’s adopted salaries and benefits totaled $111.3 million which is an increase of 6.8% compared to salaries and benefits in Fiscal Year 2025/2026. The largest part of this increase is attributed to increases in benefit costs, market based wage adjustments, and step and grade increases, and additional new personnel. Other Operating Expenses - The City’s other operational expenses including Current Operating Expenses, Grant Expenditures, Debt Service, and MERF Allocations increase by 9.5% from the prior year. Capital Outlay - The current adopted capital outlay including MERF Expenditures is increasing by $6.0 million or 5.1% primarily due increased use of impact fees accumulated for Parks and Streets projects as well as Enterprise funded capital investments including the airport terminal and infrastructure, new Water, Street, and Sanitation administration facilities. Interfund Transfers - The interfund transfers (transactions between funds) have increased $1.0 million or 5.3% over the prior year. The increase is attributed to the updated cost allocation plan based on a five year average of actuals instead of prior year budgets.. Contingency - Contingency has decreased primarily for the Airport terminal expansion as project grant funding has been secured. The next table details significant ongoing commitments and recurring agreements and debt service and lease payments made by the City for various services over future years.

DIVISION DESCRIPTION The Legal Department provides general civil legal services to the City and prosecutes misdemeanor and infraction offenses within the City’s boundaries. CORE SERVICES • The Legal Department drafts and prepares City ordinances and resolutions, researches and drafts legal opinions, and prepares contracts. In addition, the Legal Department supports utility and airport regulation and compliance, claims resolution, employment and labor work, and litigation, among other issues. • The Legal Department prosecutes violations of City ordinances and State misdemeanors that occur within City limits. ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR FY 2025/2026 • The Legal Department has begun using artificial intelligence to help respond to public records requests. As of April 9, the Legal Department has performed the majority of the work to complete 1484 police public records for this fiscal year. • Successfully represented the City in various prosecution matters. For example, as of April 9, 2026 the Legal Department has already prosecuted six criminal jury trials during this fiscal year. OBJECTIVES FOR FY 2026/2027 • Focus on additional legal training for all attorneys. • Shorten the average response time for responding to public records requests. • Recruit and retain high quality professionals. • Continue implementing artificial intelligence for both legal research and public records requests. CITY SUMMARIES CITY OF IDAHO FALLS | Proposed Annual Budget 2027 54 IDAHO FALLS OVERVIEW FINANCIAL OVERVIEW DEPARTMENT/ FUND BUDGETS INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS GLOSSARY MAJOR BUDGET CHANGES FOR FY 2026/2027 • The Legal Department will be adding one new Assistant City Attorney to support the ability to support and represent the City in prosecution matters. • The Legal Department has obtained additional software utilizing artificial intelligence to aid in responding to public records requests. This will help the Legal Department handle the increasing number of public records requests. The additional cost for the software was $9,096 in the spring of 2026 and may increase in 2027 due to inflation and other factors. • The Legal Department plans on adding an artificial intelligence enhancement to the current legal research platform. The artificial intelligence enhancement will enhance the breadth of legal research and save valuable attorney time. The additional cost for this enhancement is anticipated to be around $7,000 for the fiscal year. Based on a trial run of the artificial intelligence enhancement, a conservative estimate is that the enhancement will save somewhere between 156 and 260 hours of attorney research time over the fiscal year. Using the cost per hour to the City for a newly-hired Assistant City Attorney, these saved hours would be approximately $13,260 to $22,100. As such, the expected savings in attorney hours is approximately two or three times the cost of the artificial intelligence enhancement. 55 CITY OF IDAHO FALLS | Proposed Annual Budget 2027 CITY SUMMARIES IDAHO FALLS OVERVIEW FINANCIAL OVERVIEW DEPARTMENT/ FUND BUDGETS INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS GLOSSARY LEGAL SUMMARY BY CATEGORY FY 2024 Actual FY 2025 Actual FY 2026 Adopted Budget FY 2027 Proposed Budget Revenues Fines & Forfeitures $ 196,547 $ 208,029 $ 180,000 $ 180,000 Total Revenues $ 196,547 $ 208,029 $ 180,000 $ 180,000 Expenditures Salaries And Wages $ 524,578 $ 667,864 $ 729,682 $ 864,269 Benefits 187,696 283,383 292,690 363,946 Current Operating Expense 43,240 59,702 79,444 106,893 Cost Allocation Transfers (353,222) (527,715) (360,936) (401,913) Total Expenditures $ 402,291 $ 483,233 $ 740,880 $ 933,195 Net Excess/(Deficiency) $ (205,745) $ (275,205) $ (560,880) $ (753,195) Additional Resources $ - $ - $ - $ - Total Additional Resources $ - $ - $ - $ - Net Excess/(Deficiency) $ (205,745) $ (275,205) $ (560,880) $ (753,195) LEGAL SUMMARY BY DIVISION FY 2026 Adopted Budget FY 2027 Proposed Budget Division Expenditure Revenue Expenditure Revenue $ Change Expenditure % Change Expenditure General Fund City Attorney $ 740,880 $ 180,000 $ 933,195 $ 180,000 $ 192,315 25.96% Total $ 740,880 $ 180,000 $ 933,195 $ 180,000 $ 192,315 25.96% LEGAL PERSONNEL FY 2025 Budget FY 2026 Budget FY 2027 Proposed Budget FT Number Number Number Assistant City Attorney 1 3 * 4 Admin Assistant-Legal 2 * - * - City Attorney 1 1 1 City Prosecutor 2 - * - Legal Assistant 1 2 * 2 Office Assistant I-Legal - * - - Paralegal 1 * 1 7 7 8 * Mid-year Transfer CITY SUMMARIES CITY OF IDAHO FALLS | Proposed Annual Budget 2027 56 IDAHO FALLS OVERVIEW FINANCIAL OVERVIEW DEPARTMENT/ FUND BUDGETS INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS GLOSSARY Municipal Services General Funds MISSION STATEMENT The Municipal Services Department is dedicated to providing transparent, efficient, and innovative internal services that strengthen City departments to serve our community with excellence.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR FY 2025/2026 ● Increased Communication with Contractors and Builders. Staff have upgraded the Building and Planning websites to show development process timelines for developers to better estimate review processes for projects. Staff has also implemented a Building Division newsletter that goes out ev ery other month electronically every other month to keep the development community abreast of market trends, issues with submittals, communicate code changes, and other information pertinent to the development commu nity. Staff have implemented an annual input meeting with the development community in the fall. Staff have also met with individual developers (archi tects, contractors, builders, etc.) at their offices to ensure input and resolve concerns to provide open communication and ensure the department is meeting the needs of the development community. ● Park Development Standards. The new Park Zone Development Stan dards are moving through the process with review by the Planning Commis sion on June 2, 2026, and to be reviewed by City Council by the end of June. These standards will allow the Parks and Recreation Department to determine development standards on a case-by-case basis with each standard to be spe cific to each park. ● Building In-Person Trainings. The Building Division, with input from the contractor community, has implemented regular in-person training. These have addressed new innovations in building processes and materials, as well as refreshing current contractor knowledge of common practices. Staff have been working to implement these monthly and will meet that goal beginning this fall. ● Development Timeline Consistency. Staff have continued to monitor development timelines. Building permits are continuing to hit a 2-week turn around on permit review. Plan review from the development team (PW, Fire, Power, CDS) have continued to hit a 2-week review time for plats, site plans, PUDs, and other development applications. Staff has also implemented a “circle the wagon” strategy when development projects are past 4th review to ensure a clear path forward for development is communicated and problems are addressed to ensure efficiency in the permit review process. ● Cross Department Collaboration. Staff have implemented and con sistently held collaboration meetings with the Fire, Public Works, Police and Parks and Recreation Departments to collaborate on efforts, build comrad ery amongst departments and remove departmental silos, coordinate efforts, ensure a unified front when communicating with the public, and coordinate efforts to ensure we are “one city one team”.

These meetings have been very successful in growing comradery within the city departments and with the county. OBJECTIVES FOR FY 2026/2027 ● Snake River Priority – Data analysis has been completed for this Coun cil priority. Staff will present findings and get directions from City Council after the budget is completed. Staff initially were working with Bonneville County to draft a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), but that did not work out, so staff has realigned their strategy to take a more City focused approach to the Snake River. ● Park Zone Priority – This will be completed by the Summer (June/July) of 2026. Staff will continue to meet with the Parks and Recreation Depart ment at our monthly collaboration meeting to provide input to individual park standards. ● Permit Process Priority – Staff continues to monitor permit review times. Staff is working on internal definitions that harmonize our understanding and help create a more robust view of where our construction is being done. ● Housing Affordability Priority - Staff has begun to undertake the cre ation of a “Citizen Code Input Committee”, a new focus on the IDAHOME com mittee to address a more holistic view of construction and not primarily fo cused on implementation of the Missing Middle Concept. This committee will be made up of citizens and professionals who can provide input on code revi sions that are needed to better reflect the needs of the community. Staff have identified four code revisions to undertake beginning in late summer: Down town sign code revisions, implementation of starter home subdivision legis lation (required by the state by February 1, 2027), the subdivision ordinance update, residential landscape buffers, and street tree requirements. Staff are working to have this committee established in August 2026 and begin tackling downtown signage at that same time. ● Staff have been working the Power and Public Works Departments re garding strategic extension of utilities in the Area of Impact. ● Staff will bring back the Annexation Principles to City Council for adop tion and implementation to help guide staff for future annexations.

Idaho voters approved the original initiative in 1978, but defeated the others. The initiative aimed to restrict aggregate property taxes to no more than 1 percent of taxable market value for a particular property. The 1978 initiative was drastically amended by the Idaho Legislature and never fully went into effect, however, lawmakers did impose strict property tax limits on local governments including a 5 percent cap on property tax budget increases, which was in place from 1980 to 1991. 3-LEGGED STOOL (TAX) – Shorthand commonly used to describe Idaho’s state and local government tax structure, which has fairly equal reliance on three major revenue sources: sales, income and property taxes. 3 PERCENT CAP (TAX) – Idaho’s prior property tax cap was replaced by the current 8 Percent Cap in 2021. The law that limits increases in local government property tax levies to 3 percent over the highest levy of the preceding three years, plus growth factors for new construction and annexation. The 3 Percent Cap does not restrict voter approved bonds or levies. The law was passed by the 1995 Idaho Legislature. ACCRUAL (FINANCE) – A method of accounting that recognizes the financial effect of transactions, events and interfund activities when they occur, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. AD VALOREM (TAX) – Formal term for property tax; literally, “according to value.” It is a tax on the value of real property (land, buildings and any fixtures attached to buildings) and personal property (equipment, furniture, etc., not attached to real property). CUSTODIAL FUNDS (FINANCE) – One of four types of fiduciary funds. Custodial funds are used to report resources held by the reporting government in a purely custodial capacity (assets equal liabilities). Custodial funds typically involve only the receipt, temporary investment, and remittance of fiduciary resources to individuals, private organizations, or other governments. AGRICULTURAL EXEMPTION (TAX) – Also known as the “speculative value exemption.” The exemption provides that the value of agricultural land for development is exempt for purposes of determining its taxable market value. The policy rationale for the exemption is that it encourages preservation of agricultural land. ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT (ACFR) (FINANCE) – The ACFR is the City’s annual financial statement to its citizens outlining the financial health of the City. The report includes results of the completed fiscal year operations and the status of all city funds and account groups. It also includes a disclosure of the City’s compliance with generally accepted accounting principles and governmental accounting and financial reporting standards as promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. ANNEXATION (TAX) – Cities are allowed to increase the property tax portion of their budgets up to 3 percent over the highest levy of the prior three years, plus growth factors for annexation and new construction. The amount of the levy for annexation is determined by applying the prior year’s nonexempt levy rate to the value of properties annexed to the City during the previous calendar year. The values are obtained from the county assessor and the Idaho Tax Commission (for operating property). APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE (FINANCE) – The appropriation ordinance is approved by the City council and provides the legal authority for expenditure of City funds up to the specified amount for each fund or department during the upcoming fiscal year. ASSESSED MARKET VALUE (TAX) – In Idaho, property is assessed at full market value using comparable sales or construction cost data. Every parcel within the county is reassessed on a scheduled basis, usually every five years. Assessed market value is the full market value determined by the county assessor (or the Idaho Tax Commission, in the case of operating property). Taxable market value is the assessed market value less any applicable exemptions, such as the homeowner’s, agricultural or personal property exemption. GLOSSARY CITY OF IDAHO FALLS | Proposed Annual Budget 2027 182 IDAHO FALLS OVERVIEW FINANCIAL OVERVIEW DEPARTMENT/ FUND BUDGETS INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS GLOSSARY ASSESSMENT (TAX) – In Idaho, property is assessed at full market value using comparable sales or construction cost data. Every parcel within the county is reassessed on a scheduled basis, usually every five years. In years when a property is not reassessed its value is adjusted according to a formula to reflect current market conditions. ASSESSMENT RATIO (TAX) – Some states have assessment ratios, whereby properties are assessed at a certain percentage of market value. Since 1982, Idaho properties have been assessed at 100 percent of their current market value. ASSESSOR, COUNTY (GOVERNMENT) – The county official charged with assessment of all real and personal property in the county (except operating property), which forms the basis for property tax levies by local governments. ASSETS (FINANCE) – Property that has monetary value. AUDIT (FINANCE) – An examination of an entity’s accounting system, review of its authority to carry out activities, the presence of adequate controls against fraud and misuse of public funds, and “to attest to the fairness of management’s assertion in the financial statements or to evaluate whether management has efficiently and effectively carried out its responsibilities.” BALANCED BUDGET (FINANCE) – All governmental entities in Idaho are required to adopt a balanced budget. They succeed when budgeted expenditures and revenues match. The term is often misunderstood, because it doesn’t necessarily require that the books balance at $0 when the fiscal year ends. It simply means that the state or local government cannot plan to run a deficit during the fiscal year. Options such as holdbacks, spending reserves and borrowing exist to prevent governments from going in the red. BALANCED TAX STRUCTURE (TAX) – Idaho has one of the nation’s most “balanced” tax structures, which means it has thoroughly hedged its bets, spreading the tax load primarily between income, property, and sales taxes. In good times, the elasticity of income and sales taxes allow for budget expansion; in bad times, property tax revenues provide some stability. States that lack one or more of these basic types of taxes (such as Oregon, which does not have a sales tax, or Washington, which does not have an income tax) are said to have unbalanced tax structures. See 3-legged stool. BASE BUDGET (FINANCE) – The expenditure and revenue base budget reflects ongoing costs and revenues for services that are reasonably anticipated to be provided in the future. One-time costs and revenues do not generally become part of the base budget. New ongoing commitments (such as additional new personnel or new facilities to maintain) and new ongoing funding sources become part of the base and therefore their impact on future budgets must be considered. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING (FINANCE) – The timing of recognition, that is, when the effects of transactions or events should be recognized for financial reporting purposes. For example, the effects of transactions or events can be recognized on an accrual basis (when the transactions or events take place) or on a cash basis (when cash is received or paid). BIENNIAL BUDGETING (FINANCE) – Some cities, notably Boise, utilize two-year (biennial) budgets. The process avoids the need for extensive budget preparation every year and improves productivity. Idaho statute requires cities to adopt annual budgets — therefore, every year the City must go through the process of approving the tentative budget, advertising and holding the budget hearing and adopting the appropriations ordinance. However, additional budget development work is largely eliminated for the second year of a biennial budget. BOND (FINANCE) – A written promise, generally under seal, to pay a specified sum of money, called the par value or principal, at a specified date or dates in the future together with periodic interest at a specified rate. There are two major types of bonds. General obligation bonds commit the full faith and credit of the entity to repay the bonds. Given this level of commitment, interest rates are relatively low and are tax exempt for public purposes. Revenue bonds are paid off with revenue generated by the facility financed by the bonds (as in the case of an airport, water, or sewer project). Both types of borrowing are addressed in Article VIII, Section 3 of the Idaho Constitution. General obligation bonds require two-thirds 183 CITY OF IDAHO FALLS | Proposed Annual Budget 2027 GLOSSARY IDAHO FALLS OVERVIEW FINANCIAL OVERVIEW DEPARTMENT/ FUND BUDGETS INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS GLOSSARY voter approval and typically are redeemed out of a special property tax levy dedicated for that purpose. Revenue bonds for water, sewer and electrical facilities require simple majority voter approval. Revenue bonds to finance airport facilities do not require voter approval. Once bonds are approved, some entities issue bond anticipation notes to begin the up-front cash flow for the project — the notes are repaid when the bonds are sold. Cities, counties and some special districts can also issue local improvement district bonds, which do not require an election. BOND COUNSEL (FINANCE) – These advisers to local governments issuing bonds examine the legal authority of the entity to issue the obligation, the validity of the obligation, source of funds, and whether interest is tax-exempt for the bondholder. Potential bondholders rely heavily on the bond counsel opinion. BOND RATING (FINANCE) – The rating established by a rating company (such as Fitch, Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s) that assesses a city’s financial stability, resources and capacity to repay the issued debt by evaluating the organization’s administrative management, financial management, debt load and local economy. BUDGET (FINANCE) – Idaho Code provides a budget adoption process that all cities must follow each year. The council approves a tentative budget, which sets a ceiling on aggregate expenditures and the City’s property tax levy. Following a public hearing, the City approves the appropriation ordinance for the upcoming fiscal year, which provides the legal authority for the expenditure of city funds up to the specified amount for each fund or department. BUDGET CYCLE (FINANCE) – Related to, but not the same as, the fiscal year. A budget cycle refers to the planning, proposal, public hearing and adoption schedule public entities use in developing their budgets. BUDGET HEARING (FINANCE) – The council must hold a public hearing on the budget and legal notice must be published twice in the official city newspaper at least seven days apart. The hearing must occur prior to the City’s certification of its property tax levy to the county commissioners, which must happen by the Thursday preceding the second Monday in September. The notice of public hearing must include: the date, time, and place of the budget hearing, the proposed expenditures and revenues by fund or department for the upcoming fiscal year, the budgeted revenues and expenditures for the current fiscal year, and actual revenues and expenditures from the prior fiscal year; and the estimated property tax and non-property tax revenues for the upcoming fiscal year. At the hearing, any interested person may testify concerning the proposed budget. BUDGET TRANSFER (FINANCE) – Transfers take place when a governmental entity moves money from one fund (spending category) to another. Unlike private businesses, most governments operate with many different types of funds that can be used only in specific ways. Cities are prohibited from transferring revenues from certain dedicated funds, e.g. bond redemption, capital improvement or street funds, where revenues are restricted to specified purposes. CAPITAL BUDGET (FINANCE) – The plan for future construction, repair, rehabilitation, renovation or purchase of capital facilities. The capital budget is based on a capital improvement plan, which is a multiyear (typically 5-year) plan for capital projects. Because capital projects often extend beyond the fiscal year, the City either appropriates the entire project cost in the initial fiscal year or identifies annual phases, which may be approved in future years if funding is available. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES (FINANCE) – Purchases of facilities and equipment with a life cycle of more than 1 year, which cost more than a specified dollar amount. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP) (FINANCE, GOVERNMENT) – A long-term plan for construction, repair, rehabilitation, renovation or purchase of capital assets having a useful life of more than 5 years. These activities may be planned for years ahead because of their cost and the need to juggle debt. Capital improvement plans identify the necessary improvements over a 5-year period; the timing of construction, repair or purchase; and the revenue sources to support the plan. CIPs assist local government officials in making basic decisions about the rate and direction of growth in their communities. GLOSSARY CITY OF IDAHO FALLS | Proposed Annual Budget 2027 184 IDAHO FALLS OVERVIEW FINANCIAL OVERVIEW DEPARTMENT/ FUND BUDGETS INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS GLOSSARY CASH FLOW (FINANCE) – A way to look at how revenues are received and the coordination required to deal with revenues that ebb and flow during different times of the fiscal year. For example, cities begin their fiscal year on the first day of October, but the vast majority of property tax revenue is received in January and July. Governments deal with this by carrying over revenues from the previous fiscal year or using tax anticipation notes, registered warrants, or some other short-term borrowing. CENTRALLY-ASSESSED PROPERTY (TAX) – Most property is assessed by county assessors, but property of utilities and railroads is “centrally-assessed” by the Idaho Tax Commission. CERTIFICATION OF PROPERTY TAX LEVY (TAX) – The council is required to certify the property tax levy (in dollars) to the county commissioners no later than the Thursday prior to the second Monday in September (unless granted an extension by the county commissioners, not to exceed seven working days). The certification must include taxes levied for payment of bonds and any special levies. CIRCUIT BREAKER (TAX) – Also known as the Property Tax Reduction Program, this reduces property taxes on primary residences for homeowners who are low income, elderly, disabled, children, widow(ers), and the blind. The amount of relief is tied to income and applicants must make an annual application. Local governments are reimbursed through a state appropriation for lost revenues. COLA (COST OF LIVING ALLOWANCE) (ACRONYM, FINANCE) – In governmental budgeting this usually refers to increases in employee pay and benefits to reflect the rising cost of living. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (FINANCE) – A federal grant program under the U.S. Dept. of Housing & Urban Development, which provides funding for infrastructure and public facilities, rehabilitation of blighted urban areas, economic development and job creation, and other activities that benefit low to moderate income people. Principal cities of metropolitan statistical areas and other cities with populations of at least 50,000 receive “entitlement” funds allocated according to a formula that takes into account the local poverty level, population, housing overcrowding, age of housing and population growth compared to other metropolitan areas. Smaller cities are able to apply for grant funds on a competitive basis. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN (PLANNING) – A long term planning document used to guide the growth and development of a community. The plan is the result of public input, study and analysis of existing physical, economic, environmental and social conditions and a projection of expected future conditions. Idaho’s Local Land Use Planning Act spells out specific elements that must be addressed in the comprehensive plan, including property rights, population, schools, economic development, land use, natural resources, hazardous areas, infrastructure and public services, transportation, recreation, housing, community design, implementation, etc. The plan serves as a guide for making land use changes, preparing implementing ordinances (including zoning and subdivision ordinances), and developing a capital improvement plan. DEBT (FINANCE) – There are various types of indebtedness, short and long-term. The state and local governments are legally prohibited from deficit spending. They must adopt a balanced budget. Certain types of indebtedness are permitted, including voter-approved general obligation bonds repaid with a special property tax levy, and revenue bonds that are repaid through revenues generated by the new public facility. DEBT SERVICE (FINANCE) – The annual payments required to support debt issues including interest and principal payments. DEBT SERVICE FUND (FINANCE) – Governmental fund type used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, long-term debt principal and interest. DEDICATED FUND (FINANCE) – Dedicated funds are established to ensure that revenues are used for specific purposes, usually defined by state law or local policy. DEFICIT (FINANCE) – In public finance, when spending exceeds revenues. DELINQUENCY (TAX) – There is a statutory procedure for the handling of property tax delinquencies. Taxpayers have three years to pay off their property tax bill plus interest before the property is taken by the county in a tax deed. Local governments have varied policies on dealing with delinquent utility bills, such as termination of services, penalties, and interest. 185 CITY OF IDAHO FALLS | Proposed Annual Budget 2027 GLOSSARY IDAHO FALLS OVERVIEW FINANCIAL OVERVIEW DEPARTMENT/ FUND BUDGETS INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS GLOSSARY EFFECTIVE TAX RATE (TAX) – The tax base of each property taxpayer is the taxable value after exemptions are applied. The effective tax rate is the actual tax divided by the tax base. ELASTICITY (TAX) – The sensitivity of tax collections to changes in income and the economy. An “elastic” tax grows and shrinks in relation to economic growth and decline. The sales tax is an elastic tax. An “inelastic” tax is stable and does not fluctuate with the economy. Property taxes are relatively inelastic. ENCUMBRANCE (FINANCE) – Involves a commitment to spend, such as a purchase order or a contract. An encumbrance reserves part of the current year’s budgeted amount and is released when the amount reserved is paid, which sometimes occurs in the next fiscal year. ENTERPRISE FUNDS (FINANCE) – Public services that are self-supporting through user fees, most commonly water, sewer, and sanitation services. EQUALIZATION (TAX) – County commissioners meet as boards of equalization to equalize assessments and act on appeals and claims for property tax exemptions. Once the equalization process is complete, the rolls are transmitted to the county auditor who prepares an abstract of all real and personal property to be submitted to the Idaho Tax Commission, which further reviews and equalizes all values. EXEMPTION (TAX) – Property tax exemptions include the homeowner’s exemption, speculative value of agricultural land, business inventory, livestock, business personal property, certain intangibles, and household goods. The circuit breaker is not an exemption because the state replaces lost revenues to local governments. There are also sales and income tax exemptions. EXPENDITURE (FINANCE) – The spending of public funds by a city official, authorized by the appropriations ordinance. EXPENDITURE FORECAST (FINANCE) – A prediction by a government budgeting official of how much the agency is expected to spend over a period of time. FEE (FINANCE) – A payment charged by a local government for a service provided to a specific consumer. Fees constitute a growing portion of state and local budgets. The most commonly charged fees are for water and sewer service, recreation, building permits, dog licenses, etc. A public notice and hearing are required if new fees are established or existing fees are increased more than 5 percent. It is important to understand the distinction between a fee (which must be directly related to the cost of providing a specific service) versus a tax (a forced contribution for government services provided to the population at large). Taxes imposed by local governments must be specifically authorized by state law. FIDUCIARY FUNDS (FINANCE) – Funds used to report assets held in a trustee or agency capacity for others and which cannot be used to support the government’s own programs. The fiduciary fund category includes pension (and other employee benefit) trust funds, investment trust funds, private-purpose trust funds, and agency funds. FISCAL YEAR (FINANCE) – The fiscal year for cities runs October 1 through September 30, which is the same for Idaho counties and the federal government. The state fiscal year runs July 1 through June 30. The fiscal year for cities and counties was changed in 1977 — prior to that time, cities and counties budgeted by the calendar year. FORGONE REVENUE (TAX) – When a city levies less than the maximum amount of property taxes as allowed under the 3 Percent Cap, the forgone revenue accumulates and can be included in the tax levy in subsequent years. In order for the forgone revenue to accumulate, the City council must pass a resolution each year identifying what amount of the available forgone for that tax year the City wishes to accrue. The procedure for levying for forgone revenue includes council adoption of a resolution indicating intent to levy for forgone revenue, the amount of forgone revenue to be levied, and the purpose for which the forgone revenue will be used. The City then publishes notice and holds a public hearing, which can be done in conjunction with the annual budget publication and hearing.

Examples of services with franchise agreements include electricity, natural gas, cable television, etc. FULL-TIME EQUIVALENTS (FTE) (FINANCE) – Personnel resources are budgeted by position, which may be full-time or part-time. Positions are identified by their equivalence to a full-time position. FUND (FINANCE) – An independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts recording cash and/or other resources together with all related liabilities, obligations, reserves and equities that are segregated for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives. FUND BALANCE (FINANCE) – Funds remaining at the end of the fiscal year that are carried over into the new fiscal year. FUND CLASSIFICATIONS (FINANCE) – The three categories used to classify various types of funds: governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary. FUND TYPE (FINANCE) – One of 11 classifications into which all individual funds can be categorized. Governmental fund types include the general fund, special revenue funds, debt service funds, capital projects funds, and permanent funds. Proprietary fund types include enterprise funds and internal service funds. Fiduciary fund types include pension (and other employee benefit) trust funds, investment trust funds, private-purpose trust funds, and custodial funds. GENERAL FUND (FINANCE) – This fund includes revenues that may be spent on a wide variety of governmental purposes, typically including administration, law enforcement, fire protection, planning and zoning, building, code enforcement, parks, etc. The Government Finance Officers Association definition: “The fund used to account for all financial resources, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.” GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND (FINANCE) – These bonds commit the full faith and credit of the government entity and are repaid by a special property tax levy. General obligation bonds must receive two-thirds supermajority voter approval and are used for major public facilities such as schools, city halls, jails and libraries. GENERAL REVENUE SHARING (FINANCE) – One of the most popular federal programs among local officials, general revenue sharing was established in 1972. Few strings were attached to these federal moneys, which could be used for almost any lawful purpose. Some local governments used the money almost exclusively for capital outlay, while others relied heavily on the revenue for operating expenses. When the program ended in September 1986, local governments faced the difficult choice of increasing taxes or cutting programs. The Idaho Legislature responded in 1987 by providing additional state sales tax revenue sharing to cities and counties. HARDSHIP EXEMPTION (TAX) – County commissioners acting as a board of equalization may exempt a petitioner from property tax if a taxpayer can make the case that paying the tax would cause an undue hardship. Each applicant must apply on or before June 20 annually. The taxpayer also has to document their financial condition. HIGHWAY DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT (FINANCE) –The Highway Distribution Account receives revenue from vehicle registration fees, state fuel taxes and various transportation-related fees. The revenue is allocated to the Idaho Transportation Department, Idaho State Police and local highway jurisdictions. Constitutional and statutory provisions require these revenues be used for construction, maintenance and repair of streets and bridges. HOLD HARMLESS (LEGAL) – Proposals for reallocating state shared revenues typically include a hold harmless provision intended to ensure that no governmental entity receives less than they receive under the current formula, assuming there is no sharp reduction in total revenues or in the total distribution. HOMEOWNER’S EXEMPTION (TAX) –The homeowner’s property tax exemption was originally passed by voter initiative in 1982. The exemption covers owner-occupied primary residences with up to one acre of land, exempting 50 percent of the value or $125,000, whichever is less. 187 CITY OF IDAHO FALLS | Proposed Annual Budget 2027 GLOSSARY IDAHO FALLS OVERVIEW FINANCIAL OVERVIEW DEPARTMENT/ FUND BUDGETS INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS GLOSSARY ICRMP (IDAHO COUNTIES RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM) (ACRONYM) – ICRMP provides property and casualty insurance to over 600 cities, counties, special districts and other local government entities throughout Idaho. Started by the Idaho Association of Counties in 1985, it is now an independent public entity operated by a board of directors comprised of local government officials. IMPACT FEE (FINANCE) – Proportionate sharing of the impact of new development on offsite improvements (streets, parks, police and fire stations, etc.). Impact fees are authorized under the Idaho Development Impact Fee Act. Cities, counties, and countywide highway districts may utilize the authority, but not school districts. The adoption of impact fees requires an extensive capital improvement planning process to identify necessary projects eligible for impact fee funding. INCENTIVE REALLOCATION (FINANCE) – A key budget policy for encouraging efficiency in city departments. At year-end, a part of department savings is returned to the department for discretionary use. The uses are generally for productivity tools and other improvements. INFLATIONARY INCREASE (GOVERNMENT) – In governmental budgeting, this refers to a built-in increase in budget levels to account for rising costs and prices. INFRASTRUCTURE (GOVERNMENT) – The term has many dimensions, typically referring to the physical structures necessary to sustain a population base, such as bridges, roads, water and sewer, city halls and police and fire stations. The technical definition reads as follows: “Long-lived capital assets that normally are stationary in nature and normally can be preserved for a significantly greater number of years than most capital assets.” INVENTORY REPLACEMENT (TAX) – Refers to the property tax on business inventories, which was repealed when the state sales tax was instituted in the mid-1960s. The business inventory replacement program allocates a portion of state sales tax revenue to most nonschool taxing districts to reimburse them for the loss of these property tax revenues. JUDICIAL CONFIRMATION (FINANCE) – Local governments in Idaho cannot incur debt beyond the fiscal year without a vote of the people, except for “ordinary and necessary expenses.” Idaho statute allows government entities to seek prior approval from a judge confirming that a proposed expenditure is an ordinary and necessary expense. LEVY (TAX) – A property tax, expressed as a rate or percent of value of the property. LEVY LIMIT (TAX) – Restriction on the tax rate for particular funds authorized to levy property taxes. For example, the maximum levy rate to support city cemeteries is 0.0004. Levy limits work alongside, but independently of, the 3 Percent Cap on property tax revenues. LIABILITIES (FINANCE) – Debt or other legal obligation arising out of transactions in the past, which must be liquidated, renewed or refunded at some future date. The term does not include encumbrances. LID (LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT) (ACRONYM, GOVERNMENT) – Areas in a city or county set up for financing of improvements that typically benefit property owners in a specific area (often for streets, curb and gutter, sidewalks, etc.). LIDs are created upon initiation of a petition from property owners or by resolution of the governing board. Local improvement districts levy assessments on property owners within the district in relation to the benefits derived from the improvements. LIDs may issue bonds and there is no requirement for a popular vote. Detailed procedures are set out in Idaho Code Title 50, Chapter 17 for operation of these districts. LINE-ITEM BUDGETING (FINANCE) – Traditional, widely used budget format emphasizing budget control. The focus is on specific spending items that are included in a long laundry list. This format is mostly used in smaller jurisdictions. Larger entities frequently utilize more of a performance or program budgeting format. The line-item format works well for discussions of budgetary control, but not for resolving the broader questions of program priorities or effectiveness. LINE-ITEM (FINANCE) – An individual expenditure within the budget. GLOSSARY CITY OF IDAHO FALLS | Proposed Annual Budget 2027 188 IDAHO FALLS OVERVIEW FINANCIAL OVERVIEW DEPARTMENT/ FUND BUDGETS INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS GLOSSARY LOCAL GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT POOL (FINANCE) – This program is administered by the State Treasurer’s office. Local entities may invest by passing a resolution. By pooling their money local governments get the advantage of volume and more professional investment expertise. Money in this pool can be invested only in specified types of financial “paper.” Money can be fairly easily withdrawn. MAJOR FUND (FINANCE) – A governmental fund or enterprise fund reported as a separate column in the basic fund financial statements. The general fund is always a major fund. Otherwise, major funds are funds whose revenues, expenditures/expenses, assets or liabilities (excluding extraordinary items) are at least 10 percent of the corresponding total for all governmental or enterprise funds and at least 5 percent of the aggregate amount for all governmental and enterprise funds for the same item. Any other governmental or enterprise fund may be reported as a major fund if the government’s officials believe that fund is particularly important to financial statement users. MINIMUM WAGE (PERSONNEL) – Idaho law provides that the state conforms to the federal minimum wage, which is $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009. There are exceptions and special conditions. MODIFIED ACCRUAL (FINANCE) – Basis of accounting according to which (a) revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become available and measurable and (b) expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the fund liability is incurred, if measurable, except for unmatured interest on general long-term debt and certain similar accrued obligations, which should be recognized when due. NET GENERAL OBLIGATION DEBT (FINANCE) – General obligation debt reduced by amounts being paid with other than general resources (e.g., general obligation debt associated with proprietary funds and special assessment debt) as well as amounts available in sinking funds for debt repayment. NEW CONSTRUCTION (FINANCE) – Cities are allowed to increase the property tax portion of their budgets up to 3 percent over the highest amount of the prior three years, plus growth factors for annexation and new construction. The values for new construction are determined by the county assessor, who is required to prepare a new construction roll. The values for new construction are certified by the county by the first Monday in June and are finalized the first Monday in August. The levy for new construction is determined by applying the prior year’s nonexempt levy rate to the value of new construction in the City. OBJECT OF EXPENDITURE (FINANCE) – Expenditure classifications within each organizational unit (department). Objects of expenditure are used to classify the numerous line items in the budget and include: salaries and wages, fringe benefits, professional services, travel and transportation, utilities, office supplies, industrial supplies, buildings and improvements, and furnishings and equipment. OCCUPANCY TAX (TAX) – Taxes assessed for new properties, which are prorated for the portion of the year that the property is occupied. Because the tax is prorated it is less than the full fair market value of the property. ONE-TIME MONEY (FINANCE) – Revenues that are the result of an unusual or singular occurrence and are not expected to recur in future years. Prudent budgeting dictates that such revenues be spent on one-time costs, such as purchase of equipment or new building construction, rather than ongoing programs or costs, such as salaries for permanent employees, which would need funding in future years. OPERATING BUDGET (FINANCE) – The operating budget finances the day-to-day, current operations of government over the fiscal year. This is in contrast to the capital budget, which funds long-term projects on a multi-year basis. OPERATING PROPERTY (TAX) – Most property is assessed by county assessors, but operating property owned by businesses such as utilities and railroads is centrally assessed by the Idaho Tax Commission. The money collected is then passed out in the counties where the centrally assessed property is located. Some of Idaho’s strange county boundaries (such as the mostly unpopulated southeast dogleg of Blaine County) can be attributed to the attempt to be sure railroad properties were included within as many counties as possible. ORDINARY AND NECESSARY EXPENSE (FINANCE) – Article VIII, Section 3 of the Idaho Constitution requires voter approval of multi-year debt or liabilities with the exception of “ordinary and necessary 189 CITY OF IDAHO FALLS | Proposed Annual Budget 2027 GLOSSARY IDAHO FALLS OVERVIEW FINANCIAL OVERVIEW DEPARTMENT/ FUND BUDGETS INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS GLOSSARY expenses authorized by the general laws of the state.” Ordinary and necessary expenses may go through the process of judicial confirmation to ensure they meet the necessary criteria. ORGANIZATIONAL UNIT (FINANCE) – For budgeting purposes, each major department in the government is classified as an organizational unit. Organizational units for cities would include: administration, police, fire, water, sewer, etc. OVERLAPPING DEBT (FINANCE) – Proportionate share that property within a government must bear of the debts of other local governments located wholly or in part within the geographic boundaries of the reporting government. Except for special assessment debt, the amount of debt of each unit applicable to the reporting unit is arrived at by (1) determining what percentage of the total assessed value of the overlapping jurisdiction lies within the limits of the reporting unit, and (2) applying this percentage to the total debt of the overlapping jurisdiction. Special assesment debt is allocated on the basis of the ratio of assessments receivable in each jurisdiction, which will be used wholly or in part to pay off the debt, to total assessments receivable, which will be used wholly or in part for this purpose. OWN SOURCE REVENUE (FINANCE) – Term often used in U.S. Census Reports to compare locally raised revenue with state or federal aid. Own source revenue includes local taxes, fees, service charges, etc. PERFORMANCE BUDGETING (FINANCE) – A budgeting format that focuses on efficiency. Performance measurements (such as dollar amount per lane-mile of road paved) are used as the basis for budgeting and comparing efficiency in service delivery with other jurisdictions. The criticism of this format is that efficiency is emphasized almost to the exclusion of effectiveness considerations. Decision makers understand how many miles of roads are being paved, but this format does not encourage discussion of effectiveness: which roads should be paved or should paving roads have priority over other services? PERFORMANCE MEASURES (GOVERNMENT) – Specific, quantitative measures of work performed within a service unit or department, or results obtained through a program or activity. Performance measures include: output (activity or work units completed — i.e. number of lane-miles of streets swept); efficiency (rates of output to resources used—i.e. number of utility bills processed per hour); and outcomes and effectiveness (impact on customers—i.e. citizen ratings of city services). PERSI (PUBLIC EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF IDAHO) (ACRONYM, PERSONNEL) – PERSI handles the massive retirement fund for employees of the state and many local governments, including all school districts. Its governing board, which meets monthly and oversees investment of the fund, is appointed by the governor. PERSONAL PROPERTY (TAX) – For tax purposes, this term has a broad meaning which includes everything that is “not fastened to the earth, or screwed, bolted or welded to the wall or floor,” according to the Idaho Association of Counties County Handbook. It also includes buildings on public lands. PROGRAM BUDGETING (FINANCE) – A method of budgeting that treats the budget as a planning document, giving a clearer overview of the overall purposes to which the money will be put than the more control-oriented line-item format. By allocating funds on a program basis, elected officials can compare and prioritize programs. PROGRESSIVE TAX (TAX) – A tax whose burden increases as the taxpayer’s income increases, based on an ability to pay principle. Under it, in theory, higher income taxpayers pay more; lower incomes pay less. The model for this tax is the progressive income tax. PROPERTY TAXES (TAX) – Also referred to as ad valorem (“according to value”) taxes, property taxes comprise the most important general fund revenue source for local governments. Property taxes are levied on real and personal property. Increases in the property tax portion of a city’s budget are limited to 3 percent over the highest amount of the prior three years, plus growth factors for new construction and annexation. REAL PROPERTY (TAX) – Idaho law establishes three classifications of property: real, personal and operating. For taxation purposes, real property is defined by Idaho Code as “land, and all standing timber thereon… and all buildings, structures and improvements, or other fixtures of whatsoever kind on land…” GLOSSARY CITY OF IDAHO FALLS | Proposed Annual Budget 2027 190 IDAHO FALLS OVERVIEW FINANCIAL OVERVIEW DEPARTMENT/ FUND BUDGETS INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS GLOSSARY REAPPROPRIATION (FINANCE) – The inclusion of a balance from the prior year’s budget as part of the budget of the subsequent fiscal year. Reappropriation is common for encumbrances outstanding at the end of a fiscal year that a government intends to honor in the subsequent fiscal year. REGRESSIVE TAX (TAX) – A tax that requires poor people to pay a higher proportion of their income than wealthier people. An unintended consequence of a regressive tax is that it can deny access to certain public services and programs for those who cannot afford to pay. RESERVE (FINANCE) – An account used to indicate that a portion of fund equity is legally restricted for a specific purpose or not available for appropriation and subsequent spending. RESERVE FOR CONTINGENCIES (FINANCE) – A budgetary reserve set aside for emergencies or other unforeseen expenditures. RESORT CITIES TAX (TAX) – Resort cities with less than 10,000 population can adopt local option retail sales, alcohol by the drink and lodging taxes, provided they obtain 60 percent voter approval. To qualify the City must derive “the major portion of its economic well-being from businesses catering to recreational needs and meeting needs of people traveling to that destination city for an extended period of time.” REVENUE (FINANCE) – Funds received by the City as income, including tax payments, interest earnings, grants, and state sales tax revenue sharing. RAN (REVENUE ANTICIPATION NOTES) (ACRONYM, FINANCE) – RANs are cash flow borrowings in the national municipal credit markets to allow the City to obtain funds to meet current obligations in advance of receipt of revenues. Idaho Code and federal arbitrage rules constrain the amount and timing of such borrowing. REVENUE BOND (FINANCE) –Typically issued to fund improvements for local government enterprise operations including water, sewer, and airports. Unlike general obligation bonds, most do not require two-thirds voter approval, however, their interest rates are higher because the full faith and credit and taxing power of the governmental entity is not committed to repay the debt. Revenue bonds are paid off from the revenue generated by the new facility. Interest on revenue bonds used for public purposes is usually tax exempt. REVENUE ESTIMATE (FINANCE) – Revenue estimation is critical in the budgeting process. Decision makers have to agree on revenue projections before they can proceed to put a budget together matching revenue to anticipated expenditures. All units of local government in Idaho are required to approve balanced budgets. REVENUE NEUTRAL (FINANCE) – An action that will have no net effect on the amount of money received. REVENUE SHARING (FINANCE) – Revenue sharing in Idaho can mean several different things. For some, it is a general term that includes all of the state shared revenues allocated to local governments, including: Highway Distribution Account, business inventory replacement revenues, local government revenue sharing, State Liquor Account, etc. To others it specifically refers to the City-County Revenue Sharing Program created in 1984, where a portion of state sales tax revenue is allocated to local governments on a formula basis. Half goes to the counties on a per capita basis, though there is a floor of $30,000 for each county. Half is allocated to the cities on the basis of taxable market value and population. SALES TAX (TAX) – The sales tax was adopted by the Idaho Legislature in 1965 and affirmed by the voters in a statewide referendum in 1966. Initially it was 3 percent, but then it was increased “permanently” twice in the 1980s: to 4 percent in 1984 and then 5 percent in 1987. The last increase to 6 percent went into effect in October 2006. Sales tax revenues comprise a significant source of revenue for the state general fund. All but five states impose a sales tax; two of these five states border Idaho—Oregon and Montana. SERVICE CHARGE (FINANCE) – Typically refers to a charge for water, sewer, sanitation and other enterprise operations of local governments. They are called charges or fees (instead of taxes) because the charges must have a reasonable relationship to the cost of providing the services. Taxes are typically imposed for general revenue raising purposes. Charges are levied to maintain operations on a self-supporting basis. Service charges for enterprise funds are often a major source of revenue to a municipality’s total budget. 191 CITY OF IDAHO FALLS | Proposed Annual Budget 2027 GLOSSARY IDAHO FALLS OVERVIEW FINANCIAL OVERVIEW DEPARTMENT/ FUND BUDGETS INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS GLOSSARY SHORT-TERM BORROWING (FINANCE) – Occurs when a governmental entity borrows money either internally or externally for cash flow purposes and pays the money back within the same fiscal year. Examples include tax anticipation notes and registered warrants. SPECIAL ASSESSMENT (TAX) – Charge imposed on a parcel of property for the payment of a service or project that has direct benefit to the property being assessed. (See also local improvement district). STATE LIQUOR ACCOUNT (FINANCE) – Created in 1982, the state liquor account pays the bills of the state Liquor Division and then apportions the remaining revenue among the state, cities and counties. The cities’ portion is distributed on the basis of each city’s share of statewide liquor sales. Those cities that do not have a liquor store or distribution station receive funds on a per capita basis. There is a hold harmless provision that guarantees cities will receive the base established in Fiscal Year 1981. SUBSEQUENT ROLL (TAX) – Transient personal property in the county from the fourth Monday of June to the fourth Monday of November, “missed” personal properties are included in this tax roll. Estimates of this roll are included in the calculation of property tax levies based upon the dollar amount certified by each taxing entity. SURPLUS (FINANCE) – A surplus exists when there is an excess of funds at the end of a fiscal year. TAN (TAX ANTICIPATION NOTE) (ACRONYM, FINANCE) – A promissory note of a governmental entity in anticipation of taxes to be collected by that entity, usually within the same fiscal year. These are commonly used during times of the year when expenses exceed available revenues. TAX BASE (TAX) – The taxable value of a property after all exemptions and other adjustments have been applied. It is referred to as either the taxable value of an individual property or the total taxable value for a government entity. TAX CODE AREA (TAX, FINANCE) – Organizing device for determining tax liability. All taxpayers pay property taxes to the county and to a school district, but cities and a wide array of special districts (highway, sewer, water, cemetery, etc.), each with their own boundaries, creates considerable complexity. Each variation is a tax code area. There are about 3,300 tax code areas in Idaho. TAX COLLECTIONS (TAX) – The amount of taxes actually collected. Does not include delinquencies. TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (TAX) – Also known as revenue allocation. A financing tool typically used as part of an economic development strategy to attract businesses into a blighted or underdeveloped part of a city. To utilize TIF, the City must establish an urban renewal agency and officially designate an area in which public improvements will be made using property tax revenue generated by development within the TIF area. TAX INDEXING (TAX) – A part of the assessment process: properties not physically assessed are indexed to an updated market value amount. TAX RATE (TAX) – For property tax purposes the tax rate is determined by dividing the tax base into the dollar amount of the property tax portion of the entity’s budget. TRUTH IN TAXATION (TAX) – Truth in Taxation was substituted for the 5 Percent Cap, which was repealed by the Idaho Legislature in 1992. The Idaho Truth in Taxation law was modeled after the Utah law requiring extensive newspaper advertising of property tax rate increases above a certain threshold level. Truth in Taxation in Idaho was repealed with the imposition of the current 3 Percent Cap in 1995. UNFUNDED MANDATE (GOVERNMENT) – A requirement imposed by a higher level of government requiring a subordinate unit of government to perform certain functions without providing a funding source to pay for carrying out the requirement. Congress has often imposed requirements on the states without attaching commensurate dollars to pay for implementation. Likewise, the state and federal governments can pass unfunded mandates to local governments like cities. GLOSSARY CITY OF IDAHO FALLS | Proposed Annual Budget 2027 192 IDAHO FALLS OVERVIEW FINANCIAL OVERVIEW DEPARTMENT/ FUND BUDGETS INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS GLOSSARY WARRANT (FINANCE) – A written promise of a governmental entity to pay money, which is similar to a check. These are used by the state of Idaho. Payments issued through the State Controller’s office are issued as warrants and many local governments. WARRANT OF DISTRAINT (TAX) – An order for seizure of property to force payment of a property tax or certain other assessments or fees. WITHHOLDING TAX (TAX) – Income tax payments withheld by employers and sent to a state or federal tax agency on behalf of employees. ZERO-BASE BUDGETING (FINANCE) – An approach to budgeting that includes reconsideration of all spending, in every budget cycle.
