NOTES TO ANNUAL EXPENDITURE LIMITATION REPORT 
Year Ended June 30, 2022 
NOTE 1 
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
The Annual Expenditure Limitation Report (AELR) is presented as prescribed by the Uniform 
Expenditure Reporting System (UERS), as required by Arizona Revised Statutes §41-1279.07. 
The AELR excludes expenditures, expenses, or deductions of certain revenues specified in the 
Arizona Constitution, Article IX, §20, from the total expenditures, expenses, or deductions 
reported in the fund financial statements. 
In accordance with the UERS requirements, a note to the AELR is presented below for any 
exclusion claimed on part II and each subtraction or addition in the reconciliation that cannot be 
traced directly to an amount reported in the fund financial statements. All references to financial 
statement amounts in the following notes refer to the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, 
and Changes in Fund Balances for the Governmental Funds, Statement of Revenues, 
Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net Position for the Proprietary Funds, Statement of Cash 
Flows for the Proprietary Funds and the Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Position for the 
Fiduciary Funds. 
NOTE 2 
RECONCILIATION ADDITIONS AND DEDUCTIONS 
The deductions for depreciation, bad debt expense, and pension expense and the additions for 
principal payments, the acquisition of capital assets, and pension contributions are all provided 
in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net Position for the proprietary 
funds; the Statement of Cash Flows for the proprietary funds and the financial statement 
footnotes 6, 8, and 9.

Enterprise Funds
Operating expenses
 $   12,586,208

Total enterprise debt payments are related to loans payable during the current fiscal year.

current year in the Enterprise Funds. The addition of $914,759 for pension contributions paid in 
the current year consists of the required pension contributions made to the Arizona State
