1. Calculate the city of Tallahassee's budgetary cushion.

When making the calculation, consider the fact that a note to Tallahassee's financial statements reads as follows: "Fund Balance: The City Commission has established an emergency reserve policy and fund, referred to as the Deficiencies Fund, in order to meet unforeseen expenditures. The target amount per the policy is a maximum level of two (2) months of general government operating expenditures of the ensuing year's operating budget. Use of the Deficiencies fund requires approval by the City Commission. The Deficiencies Fund is contained as a separate sub-fund within the General Fund and the balance is classified as committed fund balance within the General Fund". Information in the CAFR shows that the amount of the Deficiencies Fund is $24,982 thousand. Also note that, the amount of the transfers in, although it appears to be large, consists entirely of recurring items.
