The net General Fund receivable of $3,199,597 is shown as a deferred inflow of resources on the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet. 3. Lease Receivable The City’s lease receivable is measured at the present value of lease payments expected to be received during the lease term. Under the lease agreement, the City may receive variable lease payments that are dependent upon the lessee’s revenue. The variable payments are recorded as an inflow of resources in the period the payment is received. A deferred inflow of resources is recorded for the lease. The deferred inflow of resources is recorded at the initiation of the lease in an amount equal to the initial recording of the lease receivable. The deferred inflow of resources is amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. 4. Inventories/Assets Held for Resale and Prepaid Items Inventories consist primarily of materials and supplies held for consumption. They are stated at cost, determined principally by a moving average method. The costs of governmental fund-type inventories are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased. Inventories of the Greensboro ABC Board are valued at the lower of cost (FIFO) or market. Assets Held for Resale in the amount of $3,053,617 and $1,616,712 as of June 30, 2023, can be found in the statement of net position for component units, Exhibit A-16 on page 37, for the Greensboro Redevelopment Commission and the Greensboro Housing Development Partnership, respectively. Assets Held for Resale amounting to $95,179, and $600,000 are recorded in the Street and Sidewalk Capital Project Fund, and the Capital Leasing Fund, respectively, for certain other properties held by the City. Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements and expensed as the items are used. 5. Restricted Assets Certain proceeds of the City’s bonds, certain grant receipts, as well as other funds are classified as restricted assets on the statement of net position because their use is limited by applicable bonds covenants, grantor or other third party and enabling legislative restrictions and state statutes. Powell Bill funds are classified as restricted cash because they can be expended only for the purposes of maintaining, repairing, constructing, reconstructing or widening of local streets per G.S. 136-41.1 through 136-41.4. 6. Capital Assets Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks and similar items) and intangible assets, are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000. One exception is intangible assets, for internally generated software, which is capitalized if greater than $100,000. All purchased capital assets of the City are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value. All other purchased or constructed capital assets are reported at cost or estimated historical cost. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add value to the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. General capital assets and the related accumulated depreciation are reported for the City using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings, 40 years; Improvements, 20 years; Equipment, 5-20 years and Infrastructure as follows: Streets, 50 years; Sidewalks, 40 years; Bridges, 50 years; Water/Sewer, 40 years and Stormwater Improvements, 30 75 years.
