-6.1.E. - Page 141 <br /> INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS <br /> Internal service funds are used to account for the financing of goods and services provided by one City <br /> department to others on a cost reimbursement basis. <br /> Equipment Services Fund—This fund accounts for the costs of operation, maintenance, and replacement <br /> of automotive equipment used by other departments. Such costs are billed to the consuming <br /> departments at a rate that includes operation, maintenance, and an amount necessary to provide <br /> replacement of the equipment at a future date. Additional equipment is budgeted by the consuming <br /> department and is then transferred to the equipment services fund after purchase. <br /> Self-Insurance Fund—This fund accounts for the City's total insurance program which includes, but is not <br /> limited to, workers' compensation, comprehensive automobile and general liability, marinas, and <br /> property and crime insurance. Included are administrative costs and costs associated with self-insurance <br /> and the purchase of excess insurance to adequately protect the City. User departments are charged for <br /> workers' compensation insurance at rates based on loss experience and on departmental budget size. <br /> Internal Services Fund — This fund accounts for the costs of operation of the City's <br /> telephone/communications service, maintenance and repair of buildings, custodial services, and <br /> information technology services. The costs are billed to the user departments based on actual use by the <br /> departments. <br /> Employee Benefits Fund—This fund is used to account for providing City workers with self-insured dental <br /> and vision benefits, unemployment insurance, and health insurance to retired City employees. <br /> 112 <br />
