Body

DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND

Pursuant to Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 87 (Leases) and Statement No. 96 (Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements), the County must capitalize certain leases and software subscriptions. As the County’s chief accounting officer, I have the authority to set the County’s capitalization thresholds. After reviewing the limits used by several other counties, I am setting the threshold for subscription-based information technology arrangements (software subscriptions) at $100,000 and the threshold for leases at $5,000.
