Agenda Item 
IV. B.  FY 2025-26 Fund Balance Transfer from General Fund to Capital Improvement 
Fund 
 
Overview 
The city’s established General Fund unassigned fund balance policy is to maintain an amount 
equal to 75% of General Fund expenditures in reserves. Based on the current budget, that amount 
would total $16.9M. Currently, the General Fund has $19.2M in reserves and needs to transfer 
$1.7M to the Capital Improvement Fund to fund future capital projects. After the transfer  is 
made, the General Fund reserves would total approximately $17.5M , slightly above the policy 
amount, and the Capital Improvement Fund reserves would total approximately $15.5M. 
Attached is the Finance Director’s memo and the cash balances and investment sheet ending
