SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Southlake Tax Increment Financing District (the "TIF") was created on September 23, 1997. The TIF was created to encourage quality commercial development along the Highway 114 corridor. The area was primarily undeveloped and the City intends to capture the anticipated incremental tax revenue increase to apply to targeted public improvement projects that benefit all the overlapping taxing jurisdictions. The TIF is governed by a twelve member board of directors consisting of the seven City Council members, one member appointed by City Council and one member each appointed by Carroll Independent School District, Tarrant County, Tarrant County Community College, and the Tarrant County Hospital District Board of Directors. The termination of the TIF is set as either December 31, 2018 or the date when all project cost are paid and all debt is retired, whichever comes first. The boundaries of the TIF were expanded in accordance with Texas Code Section 311.007 by ordinance #682-A on December 2, 1997. The expansion of the TIF boundaries will result in benefits to the City, its residents and property owners. The TIF is a blended component unit of the City under the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 14. The accounting and reporting policies of the TIF conform to generally accepted accounting principles as applicable to governmental units. The following is a summary of the more significant accounting and reporting policies: (a) Fund Accounting The accounts of the T1F are organized on the basis of funds and account groups. The operations of the TIF are accounted for in the following funds and account groups: The Special Revenue Fund-used to account for the operational cost of the TIF The Capital Project Fund-used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities The General Long-Term Debt Account Group-used to account for the TIF's long-term liabilities (b) Basis of Accounting The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. The Special Revenue, Debt Service and Capital Project Funds, governmental fund types, are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of this fund present increase (i.e., revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. The Special Revenue and Capital Project Fund are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available as net current assets. Expenditures are recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting when the related fund liability is incurred, with the exception of principal and interest on long- term debt, which are recognized when payable from current available financial resources. 3 • Investment earnings are recorded as earned, since they are measurable and available. (c) Budgets and Budgetary Accounting An overall project budget was included in the Project and Finance Plan to create the TIF and approved by all parties involved. NOTE 2: CASH AND INVESTMENTS The cash and investments policies of the TIF mirror the City of Southlake's policies. City policies governing bank deposits require depositories to be FDIC-insured institutions, and depositories must fully collateralize all time deposits in excess of FDIC insurance limits. Deposit-At September 30, 2008 the carrying amount of the TIF's deposits at banks was $1,061,595. These balances were completely covered by federal depository insurance or fully collateralized. Investments-Statutes and the City's Investment Policy authorize the City and the TIF to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, U.S. agencies and instrumentalities, repurchase agreements and the State Treasurer's investment pool. As of September 30, 2008, the TIF's investments consisted of the following: Market Value State Treasurer's investment pool ("Texpool") $2,951.002 NOTE 3.
