<br />INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS <br /> <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 /> <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 departments <br />at a rate that includes operation, maintenance, and an amount necessary to provide replacement of the <br />equipment at a future date. Additional equipment is budgeted by the consuming department and is then <br />transferred to the equipment services fund after purchase. <br /> <br />Self-Insurance Fund - This fund accounts for the City's total insurance program which includes, but is <br />not limited to, workers' compensation, comprehensive automobile and general liability, and property and <br />crime insurance.
