Special Items
Special items are significant transactions within the control of management that are either unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence. During the fiscal year, the state legislature mandated the transfer of funds from certain governmental and enterprise funds to the General and Transportation funds to help reduce budget deficits of these funds. In the Statement of Activities, only the transfers from enterprise funds to the General fund are reported.
