Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Committed fund balance includes amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the government's highest level of decision-making authority. The $500,000 set aside by the governing board's ordinance for construction of a fleet maintenance facility fits this definition, as it is a specific purpose formally approved by the county's governing board.
