Such costs are billed to the <br />consuming departments at a rate that includes operation, maintenance, and an amount necessary to <br />provide replacement of the equipment at a future date. Additional equipment is budgeted by the <br />consuming 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 <br />not limited to, workers' compensation, comprehensive automobile and general liability, marinas, and <br />property and crime insurance.
