Object 5 Supplies, Instructional Resources, and Noncapitalized Items. Object 9 All Other Capital Outlay. Object 9 All Other Capital Outlay.

22 CPF Expenditure Object Codes Object 9 All Other Capital Outlay. Object 9 All Other Capital Outlay. Since all expenditures of the Capital Projects Fund are of a capital outlay nature, Object 9 is labeled All Other Capital Outlay in the CPF.

23 CPF Expenditure Source/Use Codes As we discussed earlier, school districts receive and use resources that have restrictions or conditions attached. When revenues are received, the school district must account for amounts received and expended for that purpose. The source/use code provides a common coding classification for both restricted– use revenues and expenditures.

24 CPF Expenditure Source/Use Codes A one-digit source/use code should be assigned as follows: 0 – Unrestricted and undesignated. 0 – Unrestricted and undesignated. 1 – Derived from the sale of bonds and investment proceeds and used for the purposes expressed in the bond proposition. 1 – Derived from the sale of bonds and investment proceeds and used for the purposes expressed in the bond proposition. 2 – Received from capital project levies and used per levy propositions. 2 – Received from capital project levies and used per levy propositions. 3 – Received from state agencies and used for funded projects. 3 – Received from state agencies and used for funded projects. 4 – Received from federal agencies and used for federal portions of individual grants. 4 – Received from federal agencies and used for federal portions of individual grants.

25 CPF Expenditure Source/Use Codes 5 – Other sources and uses not described above. 5 – Other sources and uses not described above. 9 – Amounts to be distributed. 9 – Amounts to be distributed. This is an intermediate code for use during the fiscal year and does not have a balance at budget preparation time or when year-end reports are issued.

26 CPF Expenditure Source/Use Codes Revenues and Other Financing Sources that are not restricted in their use should be coded with source/use code “0”. For example, state apportionment revenues (Revenue 3100) that have been redirected from the General Fund to the Capital Projects Fund are not restricted and should be accounted for by using the “0” source/use code. For example, state apportionment revenues (Revenue 3100) that have been redirected from the General Fund to the Capital Projects Fund are not restricted and should be accounted for by using the “0” source/use code. If the district puts restrictions on these resources, then source/use code “3” should be used. If the district puts restrictions on these resources, then source/use code “3” should be used.

27 Reservation of Fund Balance Using Source/Use Codes Establishing reservations of fund balance is done by closing Account 960 Revenues and Account 965 Other Financing Sources to the reserve accounts listed below through the use of the source/use code. To set up reservations of fund balance, the third digit in the revenue or other financing source account number must match the third digit in the reserve account section of the balance sheet.

28 Reservation of Fund Balance Using Source/Use Codes Closing expenditures that were expended on the restricted use reduces the restriction on Capital Projects Fund resources. So the account 530 Expenditures that were restricted are closed to the general ledger reserve accounts representing that restriction.

29 Reservation of Fund Balance Using Source/Use Codes The applicable general ledger reserve accounts are: 861 – Reserve of Bond Proceeds 861 – Reserve of Bond Proceeds 862 – Reserve of Levy Proceeds 862 – Reserve of Levy Proceeds 863 – Reserve of State Proceeds 863 – Reserve of State Proceeds 864 – Reserve of Federal Proceeds 864 – Reserve of Federal Proceeds 865 – Reserve of Other Proceeds 865 – Reserve of Other Proceeds 869 – Reserve for Undistributed Proceeds 869 – Reserve for Undistributed Proceeds

30 Reservation of Fund Balance Using Source/Use Codes The portion of G/L 960 Revenues and G/L 965 Other Financing Sources representing unrestricted resources should use source/use code “0” and must be closed to 890 Unreserved, Undesignated, Fund Balance. Examples include redirected state apportionment and revenue from the lease of real property. Examples include redirected state apportionment and revenue from the lease of real property.

31 Reservation of Fund Balance Using Source/Use Codes The following are general guidelines in determining which reserve account to use: Investment earnings have the same expenditure restrictions as do the underlying resources generating the revenue. Investment earnings have the same expenditure restrictions as do the underlying resources generating the revenue. Assume that the most restrictive resources were expended first. Assume that the most restrictive resources were expended first.
