Proprietary Funds Financial Statements <br />Water Utility Fund - This fund is used to account for the provision of water services to the residents of Redwood City <br />and some residents of areas adjacent to the City. All activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in <br />these funds, including, but not limited to, administration, operations, maintenance, capital improvements, financing, and <br />billing/collections. <br />Sewer Utility Fund -This fund is used to account for the provision of sewer services to the residents of Redwood City <br />and some residents of areas adjacent to the City. All activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in <br />these funds, including, but not limited to, administration, operations, maintenance, capital improvements, financing, and <br />billing/collections. <br />Port of Redwood City (Port Fund)-This fund is used to account for Port activities within the Port Department as <br />defined in the City Charter. These activities include, but are not limited to, administration, maintenance and operations, <br />and Port improvements. Management of the Port of Redwood City is provided by the Port Commission, whose members <br />are appointed for four-year terms by the City Council. The only limitation to the commissioner’s authority is the power <br />to levy taxes, which must be approved by the City Council. Also, the City Charter provides that the City Treasurer is the <br />Port Treasurer and the City Attorney is the Port Attorney. This fund is included in this report because both the Bureau of <br />Census and the State of California require the City to include a summary of the Port’s financial transactions in the <br />respective reports. <br />Internal Service Funds - These 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. Internal service funds are included with enterprise funds as both use <br />the same accounting and financial reporting. <br />39 <br />7.C. - Page 71 of 269 <br />90
