Title
Request to transfer funds and memorialize capital lease transactions.
Summary
The IT department entered into a lease agreement for 5 copiers for the Police Department in December 2015 and 3 additional leases for copiers for General Government, Sports Tourism and the Environmental Department in April 2016. After review by the Finance Division, it was determined that these are capital leases. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) requires all capital leases be recorded as a capital expense on the fund level statements and that they be recorded on the Government Wide Statements as a capital asset and lease payable. These lease payments were budgeted under general equipment maintenance and the funds need to be transferred to a capital lease account.
