Indian River County, Florida Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Year Ended September 30, 2006 combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non -major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements located behind the notes to the financial statements. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds and internal service funds can be found on pages 100-158 of this report. The County adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general fund. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the general fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget. The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 20-31 of this report. Proprietary funds The County maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business -type activities in the government -wide financial statements. The County uses enterprise funds to account for its water and sewer utility, solid waste disposal district, shooting range, golf course, and building department. Internal service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the County's various functions. The County uses internal service funds to account for its fleet management, self insurance, and geographic information systems. Because these services predominantly benefit governmental rather than business -type functions, they have been included within governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government -wide financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the water and sewer utility, solid waste disposal district and golf course, which are considered to be major funds of the County. Conversely, internal service funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements behind the notes to the financial statements. The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 33-39 of this report. O Fi rJ'.f 'ducia unds Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government -wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the County's own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds. The basic fiduciary fund financial statement can be found on page 40 of this report. Notes to the financial statements The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 41-94 of this report. A
