South Suburban Park and Recreation District Summary of Significant Financial Policies Fund balances are anticipated to change more the 10% due to the following reasons (continued): The Enterprise fund balance is estimated to change only about 9%. This change could increase depending on the success of program operations during 2012. Staff has included new fees and anticipated increases in attendance in the budget. If the anticipated levels are not achieved, staff will look at the expenses directly related to the program and cut accordingly. Property Taxes Property taxes are levied by the District’s Board of Directors. The levy is based on assessed valuations determined by the County Assessors generally as of January 1 of each year. The levy is normally set December 15 by certification to the County Commissioners to put the tax lien on the individual properties as of January 1 of the following year. The County Treasurers collect the determined taxes during the ensuing calendar year. The taxes are payable by April, or if in equal installments, at the taxpayer's election, in February and June. Delinquent taxpayers are notified in August and sales of the tax liens on delinquent properties are normally held in November or December. The County Treasurers remit the taxes collected monthly to the District, minus a 1.5% collection fee. Property taxes, net of estimated uncollectible taxes, are recorded initially as deferred revenue in the year they are levied and measurable. The deferred property tax revenue is recorded as revenue in the year it is available or collected (the year it is levied for). Fees and Charges Staff is responsible for recommending any changes to the fee structure. These changes are market driven and usually based on surveys conducted by staff or industry specialists. Program costs and net revenues are also considered. These changes to the fee structure for program fees and charges are reviewed and approved by the District’s Board of Directors annually as part of the budget process. Fees and Charges are discussed and reviewed in a public session of the Board of Directors and this information is made available to the public for review and comment. The fees and charges are then formally approved upon the formal approval for the District’s annual budget. 66
