<br />Water Enterprise Fund, the Wastewater Enterprise Fund, and the Recreation and Community Programs

<br />Enterprise Fund. For an overview of the legal framework and accounting concepts that apply to the oper-
<br />ation of an enterprise fund, please refer to Appendix B.
<br />The appropriations addressed in this article cover the complete operating costs of the respective enterpris-
<br />es with the exception of indirect costs, which are appropriated under Article 4. The following discussion

<br />raise. Capital appropriations are addressed in Articles 10 (Recreation Capital), 14 (Water System Im-
<br />provements) and 15 (Wastewater System Improvements).
