Compensated absences legally owed to general government workers at year-end total $19,500. These amounts will not be taken by the employees until late in the year 2016.
The city received a piece of art this year as a donation. It is valued at $23,900. It will be used for general government purposes. There are no eligibility requirements. The city chose not to capitalize this property.
The general government uses the storage shed that was acquired this year. It is being depreciated over 10 years using the straight-line method with no salvage value. The city uses the equipment for health and sanitation and depreciates it using the straight-line method over five years with no salvage value.
The investments are valued at $109,900 at the end of the year.
For the equipment that has been ordered but not yet received, the City Council (the highest decision-making body in the government) has voted to honor the commitment when the equipment is received.
