MOPTDNTNALNN1.90425.47    TOWN OF SPRUCE PINE 2024-2025 BUDGET BUDGET INTRODUCTION  FUND ACCOUNTING  The Town of Spruce Pine considers expenditures for fixed assets with a value greater than five thousand dollars ($5000.00) to be capital expenditures.  The accounts of the Town of Spruce Pine are organized and operated on the basis of funds. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. Funds used by local governments can be grouped into two types: governmental funds and proprietary funds. Governmental funds are simply used to account for most governmental-type activities and are primarily financed by tax revenues. Proprietary funds are used for activities that operate more like businesses, such as water or sewer operations, where expenses are primarily financed by revenues derived from user charges rather than tax dollars. The Town of Spruce Pine currently uses governmental and proprietary funds primarily, and when needed, Capital Project and Special Revenue Funds. General Fund  Enterprise Fund  The Enterprise Fund is the Town's Water & Sewer Fund. GAAP requires state and local governments to use the Enterprise Fund type to account for "business-type activities" activities similar to those found in the private sector. Business type activities include services primarily funded through user charges. User Charges in thel Enterprise Fund include: water and sewer fees, tap fees, delinquent account fees, etc. Capital Proiect Funds  Capital Project Funds are used to budget and account for larger capital expenditures that may take place over more than one fiscal year. A large or multi-year capital project is authorized by a Capital Project Ordinance adopted by the town council, and the project is financed through a related Capital Project Fund. The Capital Project Fund may receive transfers from the General or Enterprise Fund, or it may receive funds from other revenue sources such as grants or bond proceeds. Currently the Town. has fiveactive capital project fund ordinances. Golden Leaf Grant for Hwy 226 Water Line, SCIF Grant - Riverside, PARFT Grant for Brad Ragan, DWI = Stormwater Grant, and Streetscape Project. In recent years, the Town of Spruce Pine has established Capital Project Funds to renovate the new town hall, construct the new police department, PRC bar screen project, and the SRF Loan to fund the sewer line rehabilitation project.  The General Fund encompasses most oft the town's day-to-day operations. Property taxes are one component of General Fund revenue. Other important General Fund revenue sources are various sales taxes and excise taxes that are distributed to the town by the North Carolina Department of Revenue. Finally, specific user charges such as cemetery fees and privilege license fees are accounted for as General Fund revenues. All general operating expenditures are budgeted and accounted for in the General Fund. In addition, capital expenditures (purchases of real and personal property assets that have multi-year service lives) are likewise budgeted and accounted for in the  Industries  improvements, the ARC  General Fund.  utility  SPRICLPIMI NDOPDDBDIIT 2024-2075 BaseaIs    TOWN OF SPRUCE PINE 2024-2025 BUDGET  BUDGET PREPARATION The Town of Spruce Pine operates on a fiscal year that runs from July 1st - June 30th.
