FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY’S FUNDS Governmental Funds
2. GASB STATEMENT NO. 69 AND THE IMPACT ON REPORTING ENTITY
Effective July 1, 2013, the City implemented GASB 69, Government Combinations and Disposals of Government Operations (GASB Statement No. 69). Beginning with fiscal year 2014, the SLPD is no longer a discretely presented component unit of the City. The impact of Ordinance #69489, constituted a government merger in which no significant consideration was exchanged. With the implementation of GASB Statement No. 69, the SLPD was absorbed into the Primary Government, and the Primary Government continued to provide police services to the City of St. Louis. The merger date for the purpose of GASB Statement No. 69 implementation was July 1, 2013, even though Ordinance #69489 didn’t pass until September 1, 2013. The primary reason for the change was due to cost saving measures.
The Primary Government recognized the assets and liabilities of SLPD as of July 1, 2013 at the carrying value, except as adjusted. Adjustments to previously reported amounts were made to align the methods of accounting principles between the Primary Government and the SLPD. Additionally, certain transactions between the Primary Government and SLPD have been eliminated. Specifically, all receivables and payables between the Primary Government and SLPD have been eliminated, but the effect of interfund services provided and used were not.
The following Tables I - VIII illustrate how the SLPD was merged into the Primary government. Tables I and II illustrate how activities of the SLPD were split between Primary government activities and funds.
Tables III - VIII illustrate Primary government adjusted balances for June 30, 2013.
