13. FUND BALANCE

  In the AFR, nonspendable amounts represent net current financial resources that cannot be spent
  because they are either not in spendable form or legally or contractually required to be maintained
  intact. The Town maintained the following nonspendable fund balance at December 31, 2025:

  •  Prepaid items—Represents amounts prepaid to the retirement system that are applicable to future
  accounting periods. The General Fund and the Highway Fund reported amounts of $31,226 and
  $18,229, respectively relating to the retirement system. Further, in 2024, the Town entered into a
  Subscription Based IT Agreement for $8,500 but subsequently put the account on hold prior to
  implementation. The first payment made will be recognized as an expense in the General Fund
  when implementation begins.

  In the AFR, restricted fund balances are amounts constrained to specific purposes (such as creditors,
  grantors, contributors, or laws and regulations of other governments) through constitutional
  provisions or by enabling legislation.

  At December 31, 2025, the Town reported the following restricted fund balances:

  •  Restricted for General Capital Projects—Represents amounts, $407,309, restricted for
  the construction of various general fund capital projects.

  •  Restricted for Tax Stabilization—Represents amounts, $96,580, restricted by the Town
  Board in accordance with general municipal law section 6-e to be used for future
  unanticipated events.
