modified accrual basis of accounting and were classified as Deferred Inflows of
Resources in the General Fund. Select Previous Deferral in the drop down
[Description] menu in the Detail Journal.
For governmental activities at the government-wide level, all Licenses and Permits and

departments in the amount of $100,000 and by Public Safety departments in the amount
of $110,250. Intergovernmental Revenues should be credited to Program Revenues
