Sarasota County, Florida Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2022 The County has the following significant encumbrances as of September 30, 2022: P. ENDOWMENTS Two donor-restricted and eight designated endowments have been established for the benefit of the County’s library system. Such endowments are reported in the financial statements as a nonmajor governmental fund, or more specifically, a permanent fund type. Florida Statute 738.401 classifies net appreciation on endowments as income, rather than principal, and is hence legally available for spending; however, it is the policy of the County not to appropriate appreciation on investments. One hundred percent of other investment income is appropriated in a special revenue fund and expended for purposes as specified by donors. Q.

Net position is categorized as net investment in capital assets, restricted net position, or unrestricted net position.

Restricted Net Position - This category presents external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments and restrictions imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. At year-end, governmental activities net position restricted for other purposes was composed of amounts related to contracts, contributions, gifts, and the permanent endowment fund. Business-type activities’ net position restricted for other purposes was composed of amounts related to debt service funds. Unrestricted Net Position - This category represents net position that does not meet the definition of “net investment in capital assets” or “restricted.” In the governmental fund financial statements, financial reserves are classified by components of fund balance.
