Introduction HISTORY Over a hundred and years ago, the small 11 block Town of Strother straddled the Missouri Pacific Railroad tracks. Today, that small town consists of 65.24 square miles and is known as the City of Lee's Summit. In the late 1800's, a man by the name of William B. Howard was drawn to this fertile, gently rolling prairie land with the dream of building a city. Today, nearly 93,000 residents have been enticed to this progressive, yet restful and family-oriented community atmosphere, with a unified dream to create a dynamic, vital city. From yesterday to today, the story of this once small town has been filled with the courage, dedication, and quiet determination of its citizens, making Lee's Summit an ideal city in which to live and work. On October 28, 1865, William B. Howard founded the Town of Strother by filing a plat containing the 11 blocks that currently encompass the downtown business district. At the time of incorporation, the population count stood at one hundred people. In November of 1868, the name was changed and the area incorporated as the "Town of Lee's Summit". Although the "Summit" portion of the name was obviously based on the fact the town's elevation is the highest point on the railroad between Kansas City and St. Louis, there are numerous opinions and theories on the origin of "Lee". According to one theory, the town was named after Civil War General Robert E. Lee, since incorporation took place shortly after the war and the majority of citizens migrated from the Southern states. However, another version suggests the town was named after a prominent early settler, Dr. Pleasant Lea. The discrepancy in the spelling of "Lea" has been attributed to railroad sign painters. Lee's Summit's most infamous citizen was Cole Younger, called "The Last of the Great Outlaws" by author Homer Croy. According to history, soldiers drove Younger to a life outside the law after his father's murder and subsequent robbery. While Union forces were enforcing Order #11, the command issued in 1862 ostensibly to burn homes belonging to those with Southern ties, Younger and his brothers were credited with saving some of the original homes within Lee's Summit, the most prominent of which belonged to William B. Howard. Order #11 helped to unify the transplanted southern population in Missouri and compelled Younger to join the Confederate guerrilla band known as Quantrill's Raiders. Cole Younger was arrested after an attempted bank robbery in Northfield, Minnesota. Following 25 years of imprisonment for his crimes, Cole Younger was paroled in 1901. Three years later, Younger returned to Lee's Summit where he lived as a model citizen until his death in 1916. His grave is located in the Lee's Summit Historic Cemetery. The Fire of 1885 demonstrated yet again the stamina personified by citizens in Lee's Summit. While most of the town's residents were attending Sunday morning church services, fire erupted in the downtown district, which consisted of dry, wooden buildings. A detailed account of the fire, as printed in the April 16, 1885, issue of The Lee's Summit Journal, stated the buildings burned "...like greased wood". Virtually the entire business district was destroyed and the loss aggregated at $87,000, with a total of 25 buildings consumed by the flames. However, the stalwart citizens took their losses in stride and promptly commenced to rebuild the town.

Introduction Almost 30 years later, Mr. R. A. Long, a prominent Kansas City lumberman, began building his dream, which became a reality with the construction of Longview Farm. In 1912, Mr. Long purchased approximately 1,700 acres in the southwest portion of Lee's Summit. Mostly self-sufficient, the farm included five major barn groups and 42 buildings. When completed and functional, Longview Farm became internationally known for the horses and livestock contained within its white rail fences and was one of only three dozen such showplace farms. The history of Lee's Summit abounds with the tragedies and triumphs of courageous people who have never failed in their dream of creating a city that will continually progress and prosper. Most importantly, Lee's Summit is comprised of dedicated people who never lose touch with the basic values that make a community livable. We feel Lee's Summit has lived up to the dreams of its forefathers.

2: Administrative Summary

CITY MANAGER’S BUDGET MESSAGE We have prepared for you an executive summary outlining the proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year. The city’s budget is our annual operations guide and financial plan that is formulated through a culmination of input from elected officials, management team executives, and budget staff. As City Manager, I am grateful for our collaborative approach to develop the budget ensures that we identify funds and maximize our scarce financial resources to achieve our priority of delivering outstanding municipal services. One of the many attributes that differentiates Lee’s Summit from other communities, and has been key to our success, has been an ability to make strategic decisions, and plans, for our organization that puts our community in a position of strength to overcome challenges and orient ourselves to take advantage of future opportunities. It is this type of thinking and planning that enabled an improved financial condition and positive citizen satisfaction despite the economic crisis that began in 2007. Our new challenge is to look ahead for opportunities that support the vision statement of the Lee’s Summit City Council. CITY COUNCIL VISION STATEMENT As the elected body of the City of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, we are collectively in pursuit of: A culturally rich community with diverse economic sectors to create a prosperous and dynamic community in perpetuity.

As we welcome our new elected officials and continue our work with the new City Council, I am excited to resume conversation on the key issues and challenges for our organization. Under the leadership of our Mayor, Randy Rhoads, the Council will have new input from Councilmember Craig Faith, District 2, Councilmember Phyllis Edson, District 3, Councilmember Chris Moreno, District 4, and we will welcome back Councilmember Rob Binney, District 1, after a successful re-election. Together, it will be important for us to consider these issues by seeking consensus and support so we may begin work developing implementation strategies. It is this type of strategic decision-making that has been a key to our success for our community.

FUND

General Fund: This fund includes budgets for 10 departments that provide the mission critical services to our residents, such as police and fire protection, street maintenance, planning, codes, court, and general administration of the City. Special Revenue Funds: Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than expendable trust or major capital project) requiring separate accounting because of legal or regulatory provisions or administrative action. This includes the Parks, grants, business and industry, tax increment financing (TIF), and transportation development district (TDD) funds. Debt Service Funds: The city utilizes two funds to record the receipt and disbursement of monies used to repay principal and interest charges on city issued debt. The General Obligation Debt Service Fund and Park COP Debt Service Fund are used to account for the annual retirement of bonds issued from 2003 through 2016.

2: Administrative Summary Capital Project Funds: The capital improvement funds include budgets that allocate expenses for infrastructure improvements. The City’s capital projects are funded by a variety of different sources. The City’s road and bridge maintenance projects and capital improvements are funded by a ½-cent sales tax. Other projects are funded by tax increment financing and through the sale of general obligation bonds. Enterprise Funds: The City’s enterprise funds hold the budgets for departments that operate in business-type activities. These funds rely on revenues generated from sales of materials or services. The enterprise funds include budgets for our Water Utilities, Solid Waste, and Airport activities. Internal Service Funds: The City uses internal service funds, or Proprietary Funds, to account for its fleet of vehicles and equipment, information technology systems, central building services, and trust funds. The internal service departments allocate costs for the reimbursement of services to other departments.

2. Review of Financial Condition – General Fund The City’s financial condition is showing signs of improvement following the most recent recession. Typically, local governments often lag behind the private business community in terms of recovery and we are just now starting to see positive improvements in our finances. It is a strength of our organization that we have a trusted group of directors and staff who seek to maximize the resources given to us by the taxpayer and limit unnecessary expenses. This practice of thoughtful spending and avoidance of unnecessary expenditures has resulted in an annual savings each year of $1 million of our budget, on average. The outcome for the City has resulted in a growth of our reserve balance to approximately $19 million, or 32% of our annual expenditures. While we have responsibly managed our finances through the recession, a new challenge is on the horizon. Lee’s Summit, and many other Missouri communities, needs to plan and identify new sources of revenues that will be used to fund the services provided to our residents like public safety, codes, and parks. Recent and proposed legislation will create a strain on municipal finances by redirecting or exempting revenue from collection. Our challenge as a community will be to identify sustainable revenue sources that can be counted on to support the level of service provided to the citizens of Lee’s Summit.

An immediate action that will prevent continued erosion of our revenue stream, but only slightly narrow the gap between revenues and expenditures will require favorable support from the community to continue the motor vehicle sales tax which is scheduled as an election item in August. Similar to the motor vehicle sales tax, the use tax would provide an opportunity to offset a tax exemption that places Lee’s Summit, and Missouri businesses, at a disadvantage when competing with the out of state and internet marketplace.

The trends illustrated in our general fund five year model indicate that in future years our expenditures will exceed revenues which means we can look for new revenue growth opportunities or realign our levels of service to avoid prolonged deficits and a depleted reserve balance. It is this reality that makes our work together and strategic planning much more important so that Lee’s Summit is in a position of strength to overcome challenges and orient ourselves to take advantage of future opportunities.

3. General Fund Overview In FY17, general fund revenue estimates total $63,510,293 which will be used to fund a general fund operating budget of $63,509,024, with one time, special project expenses of $886,726 to be funded by the general fund reserve.

Franchise Tax: Franchise Tax revenue is received from utility providers who attain access to the city’s right of way for the commercial purposes to deliver private services. Franchise tax revenues from electric and natural gas providers are largely dependent on weather and consumption of these utilities. Using the two and three year average, these franchise taxes are estimated to remain relatively flat in FY17. Telephone franchise tax revenue is estimated to decrease $520k, or 7.5%, following an exemption that excludes network data transmission from a user’s bill. In total, franchise tax revenue is expected to decrease $116k, or .09%, from FY16 budget amounts.

Motor Vehicle Tax: In August of this year, a ballot question will ask the community if they support discontinuing the motor vehicle sales tax which currently allows Lee’s Summit to collect motor vehicle sales taxes from purchases made out of state. If the tax is discontinued the impact to the general fund would result in approximately $222k in lost revenue. If the election

2: Administrative Summary is not successful, staff will discuss with the Council necessary changes to the level of service and expenditure reductions to offset the decreased revenue. 

Charges for Service: A significant change in revenue is planned for FY17 following a Council adopted ordinance that establishes a 50% cost recovery rate for EMS service. Gross revenue is expected to be $1.6m above last year’s amount however, after adjustments for insurance and Medicare, new net revenue of $588k is expected for FY17.

General Fund Expenditures: The challenge during every budget planning process is to efficiently maximize the scarce resources provided by tax payers and residents of the community. In FY17, I have proposed a total general fund expenditure budget of $64,397,019 that will be used to provide services to the citizens of Lee’s Summit. During the previous three fiscal years, our organization has had to adjust how services are delivered to residents in an effort to reduce expenditures. Our Management Team and budget staff has continued this thinking as the FY17 budget was developed. 

FY17 will also include a reassignment of personnel from our Landfill to Public Works following approval of a contract with a private entity to operate and close our landfill. In addition to the increased count of full time equivalents (FTEs), the FY17 budget includes a planned performance based merit increase equal to an average 2% adjustment and a forecasted 6% increase in health insurance expense. With these changes, our personnel services expense is budgeted to increase $1.1m, or 2.6%, above FY16 budget.

Other Supplies, Services, and Charges: This category of expense accounts for the expenses associated with daily operations such as goods, services, supplies, contractual expense, and many other items. The significant variance in FY17 is related to the expense ‘write off’ for Medicare and insurance adjustments which amounts to a net increase of $1.03m following

2: Administrative Summary the increased revenue amount for ambulance fees. 

Capital Outlay: As part of the Fire Department’s accreditation process, the department reviewed response times and service coverage through the community risk standards of cover analysis. Through that analysis, the department recognized a need to increase the level of service and improve response times by adding 2 new ambulances, and crew, to improve EMS response for the community. The capital purchase of 2 new ambulances, with equipment, is expected to cost $675k.

Key Initiatives: A high performing successful organization will seek opportunities to continuously improve operations, be forward thinking by planning for the future, and align resources to efficiently deliver services. It is necessary for our organization to make these steps and implement new business practices to meet future realties. In the FY17 budget I have proposed the following key initiatives that will strategically plan and align our organization to meet the needs of our community. These specific initiatives are more narrowly focused than the key initiatives for the organization and will assist us in those efforts by adapting our operations to new practices and processes. 1.

Enhancement of Technology Resources

For modern and growing organizations, technology is often a multiplier that brings new capacity, capability, and efficiency to our operations. In the FY17 budget, I have included funds to pursue new technology and support resources so that we may continue to provide consistent and reliable municipal services while adapting to new environments for our customers. Included in the budget are funds to increase the level of service provided by our ITS department through the addition of new personnel who can assist us in the support of our increasingly complex systems and further help us utilize and identify new technology and data sources to support the organization. Planned enhancements for FY17 include an upgrade of our enterprise resource planning (ERP) financial management system, the delivery of citizen facing technology on mobile devices for customer service inquiries, and mobile computing for fire apparatus. 2.

Enhancement of public communication

It is important to make informed decisions based on performance measure outcomes and through customer feedback. The recent Citizen Satisfaction Survey highlighted opportunities to enhance existing services in an effort to improve citizen satisfaction. One opportunity presented in the survey indicated a need to enhance public communication efforts. From 2008 to 2013 our residents’ satisfaction of the City’s communications practices decreased 5% from the previous survey conducted in 2007. This decrease is not unexpected considering the changing preferences for how we choose to receive information and what information is desired. The FY17 budget includes funding for a new approach to public communication for the City. As a result of the communication audit we plan to reassign our communication resources by redesigning the duties and responsibilities of existing positions to create a communication team that will include a Communication Strategist and Marketing Specialist position whose assignment will be to build upon our traditional communication methods and tools like the City’s website and newsletters by increasing the City’s social media presence and utilization of proactive communication and citizen engagement tools.

Economic Development

An ongoing initiative will always be to pursue economic development opportunities. New investment in our community from the business sector creates opportunities to enhance our economic base and quality of life for the residents of our community. It is important for our community to pursue these opportunities strategically and efficiently to maximize the use of our land and financial resources. To assist new developers and investors who seek to bring business to our community, the Development Services department was created to streamline city development processes and procedures that would enable investment to occur faster and more frequently. The City is seeing an increased level of activity and success from this approach which has identified additional needs for professional services and technology. In the FY17 budget, funds have been included for a development technician position to accelerate the engineering review process so that developers and investors can begin business in Lee’s Summit at a faster pace. 4.

Workforce Development

Investing in our workforce and succession planning is a key task that enables us to continually provide dependable and reliable municipal services. As a service organization, our workforce is our greatest asset. Like any asset, we must safeguard the investment that has been made by focusing our attention on retaining our highly professional staff while also providing opportunities for leadership development and professional growth. In the FY17 budget, I have included several reclassifications of existing positions to enable continued development of our staff who will be asked to take on additional responsibilities. Included in the reclassification of our positions is a new position for a Deputy Finance Director who will be in a leadership position as our Finance Director transitions to other opportunities. Additionally, I have included funds for a compensation policy analysis to help our organization determine the appropriate level of compensation for our staff in comparison to our competitors.

4. Enterprise and Internal Service Funds Enterprise and Internal service funds receive revenues from user fees and charges directly from internal and external customers. These funds are not directly supported by tax revenue, but by charges to City departments and users. Included in these funds are the Water Utilities, Airport, Harris Park, Resource Recovery Park (Enterprise Funds) and the Fleet Management, Building Services, and Information Technology Funds (Internal Service Funds). 

Water Utilities: The Water Utilities Department is responsible for providing clean, safe drinking water to the City with the exception of two areas served by other water districts. The Department purchases treated water from Independence and Kansas City to

In advance of completion of runway improvements, marketing will increase to attract new customers who cannot currently use the airport due to its shorter runway lengths.

Resource Recovery Park: Following the privatization of landfill services the City will provide oversight to the City’s contractor to ensure compliance with state laws and the delivery of services. Key Initiatives:  Ensure compliance of all local, state, and federal regulations pertaining to landfill operations.  Project management for the delivery and construction of a trash transfer station.

Information Technology Services: Office of Information Technology provides central management of information technology resources and initiatives within the entire organization. Key Initiatives:  Guide the upgrade of the Lawson ERP system. This effort will require the

2: Administrative Summary All funding sources that may be used for various capital improvements are reviewed each year. Much of the work to develop the CIP focuses on the balancing of available resources with the identified capital needs. Consideration must be given to factors such as annual revenue projections from various sources, restrictions on the uses of certain funds, legal limitations on debt capacity, and City policies relative to project funding. For budgeting purposes, the first year’s funding is included in the annual budget with subsequent years funding added to each future annual budget respectively. In FY17, major CIP projects receiving funding include:  Ward Rd (MO 150 to Raintree Parkway)  Blackwell Road Interchange with US50: $5.8m $6.1m  US50 Hwy / Route 291S Interchange - $6.1m  Sanitary Sewer Main Replacement program: $1m  Construct Pavement for Runway 18-36: $6.6m  Water Main Replacement program: $2m

6. Workforce and Expansion Requests Each year during the budget process departments may identify capital equipment, job positions, or onetime expenditures that could be funded to enhance services or improve processes. These expansion requests are reviewed to ensure that they support the goals and objectives of the organization and can be financially supported. The following expansion requests have been approved for funding consideration in FY17:

2: Administrative Summary

Introduction One of the many attributes that differentiates Lee’s Summit from other communities, and has been key to our success, has been an ability to make strategic decisions, and plans, for our organization that puts our community in a position of strength to overcome challenges and orient ourselves to take advantage of future opportunities. It is this type of thinking and planning that enabled an improved financial condition and positive citizen satisfaction despite the economic crisis that began in 2007. Our new challenge is to look ahead for opportunities that support the vision statement of the Lee’s Summit City Council. CITY COUNCIL VISION STATEMENT As the elected body of the City of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, we are collectively in pursuit of: A culturally rich community with diverse economic sectors to create a prosperous and dynamic community in perpetuity.

Under the leadership of our Mayor, Randy Rhoads, the Council will have new input from Councilmember Craig Faith, District 2, Councilmember Phyllis Edson, District 3, Councilmember Chris Moreno, District 4, and we will welcome back Councilmember Rob Binney, District 1, after a successful re-election. Together, it will be important for us to consider these issues by seeking consensus and support so we may begin work developing implementation strategies. It is this type of strategic decision-making that has been a key to our success for our community. Approach Using a prioritization technique popularized by Stephen Covey, the Mayor, City Council, and Staff identified 30 emerging issues or goals to address that will enable the City to continue as a prosperous and dynamic community.

4 Quadrant Prioritization

Urgency

Goal Areas and Objectives

Glossary of Project Names and “Q” Assignments Fire Ambulance Expansion – Q1 The addition of one ambulance crew, two ambulances (one for operations and a second one for reserve), and related equipment and supplies. Downtown Performance Venue – Q1 Creation of a space in the downtown area that would allow visual and audio performances to an audience between 300-400 people. Public Safety Radio Upgrade Q1 Enhancing the City’s radio communication system for the public safety response departments and other operational departments to allow “interoperability” between departments and other political jurisdictions. The current system is “analog-based” and the upgrade would be “digital-based”. Public Facility Connectivity Q1 Digital connectivity is required between the City of Lee’s Summit buildings, sewer basin monitoring stations, water storage systems, to exchange important data and telephone communications. The current connectivity system is a compilation of older “T1” lines, analog telephone lines, and cellular communications. An integrated system using today’s technology is required for long-term reliability.

2: Administrative Summary Transportation/ MoDOT (US 50 & North M291) – Q1 MoDOT has determined that the bridge structure is in need of replacement in the near future. Due to fiscal constraints MoDOT will replace the bridge with the same capacity design unless there are other funds that can be identified. Vehicle Fuel Management System – Q1 The current system is based upon older technology and is limited our ability to monitor vehicle fuel usage as it relates to maintenance analysis. The fueling station located at the Fire Headquarters is located adjacent to a stormwater inlet without appropriate safety measures for potential fuel spills or accidents. A new system would be located where environmental protective devices could be installed. The new system would also provide new use monitoring technology. Park Sales Tax Renewal – Q1 The existing Park Sales Tax will expire in 2018. There has been a proposal by the Parks and Recreation Board to place a renewal tax question on a future election. Auto Sales Tax Renewal – Q1 The temporary legislation that allows the collection of City sales tax (currently 2 ¼ ₡) from residents who purchase vehicles outside the State of Missouri will expire in November 2016. The City will lose this revenue without the authorization of the voters before November 2016. There will be no future opportunities to consider this revenue source after this date. Stormwater – Regulatory Compliance – Q1 The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulations are changing in 2016, which will require increased effort by the City to comply with these storm water quality rules. The new permit conditions will be finalized in the next few months and the city will need to be prepared to take more proactive compliance steps, including public education and outreach, illicit discharge identification and elimination, and control of possible pollutants at city facilities. Capital Improvement Fund Allocation – Q1 Due to a combination of lower than expected construction costs and a stable revenue performance in our ½ ¢ Capital Improvement Sales Tax (set to expire in 2018), city staff has projected approximately $22M of additional funds available that may be available for other significant capital improvement needs that qualify as appropriate expenditures. (City Council discussion on this matter will be on February 11, 2016.) Market Center of Ideas – Q1 The development of a program or physical location that would assist individuals who are pursuing the start of a business or promoting an entrepreneurial idea. Public Services Video System – Q2 Pending State Legislation, Missouri Municipalities will be required to equip each Police Officer and Patrol Vehicle with video and audio recording systems. The system will need to be integrated and provide a quality signal to determine the actions of the officer and the individual of interest.

City of Lee’s Summit Annual Budget FY17

2: Administrative Summary Records Management – Q2 Based upon a recent audit of the City’s record management system, operating costs could be reduced through the establishment of a comprehensive digital-based system. This system will allow the continued compliance of MO Records Statutes while eliminating duplicate documents. All paper documents required by law will still be retained. Stormwater – Public System Deterioration – Q2 Approximately 44% of the enclosed public stormwater system is built with metal corrugated pipe. Due to natural corrosion from native soils; metal pipe has a limited life span and eventually is need of replacement. Most of our metal pipe is over 20 years in age and is in need of replacement. A proactive replacement program is needed for the “at risk” conditions of the metal pipe as well as several locations of deteriorated concrete pipe. Transportation – Maintenance (Road, Sidewalks, Curbs) – Q2 The maintenance costs of the City’s existing transportation infrastructure will continue to grow, especially the need to replace deteriorating curbs. Fire Station No. 3 – Q2 The current Fire Station No. 3 is not adequate for modern fire fighting practices regarding the dwelling conditions and equipment storage. The Standards of Cover report indicates a future need for ambulance service from this station, as Fire District 3 has the highest demand of all districts within Lee’s Summit. The current station cannot house an ambulance and additional crew due to the building size and configuration. A new, modern facility is needed to meet the needs of the community. rd

Transportation / MoDOT (3 and Ward Road) – Q2 There are existing capacity issues at this intersection that reduces the level of service for traffic. Also, this intersection restricts future development opportunities due to capacity issues. Master Plan – S291 Corridor – Q2 The new US 50 / M291 South intererchange will create new capacities and development opportunities for this corridor. Long-term planning and identifying the “highest and best” use of the impacted properties could help the community to achieve a successful development outcome of this project. Stormwater – Private Property – Q2 Due to a combination of community and a higher frequency of intense rainstorms, there has been an increase of surface water causing negative impacts to private properties. There are community voices requesting the City’s involvement in reducing these impacts caused by stormwater erosion on private property. City Revenue Structure – Q3 The current municipal revenue structure is based upon older concepts that are losing relevance as new technologies are creating societal shifts. One example is “brick and mortar” based businesses were a traditional approach to capturing property and sales tax. Today, we see new growth and demand on our municipal services through internet and home-based operations.

2: Administrative Summary Use Tax Consideration – Q3 Many Missouri municipalities and counties have adopted “use tax” provisions that allow the collection of the local sales tax on machinery and other non-consumables purchased outside the State of Missouri. The absence of the use tax may create an incentive for non-Missouri purchases to be made instead of local options. The adoption of a use tax would help to build a broader diversity of revenue sources to support our operations. Pro Active Code Enforcement – Q3 The City generally carries out the minimum housing and neighborhood standards codes on a “complaint basis”. Unless the matter is regarding signs, weeds, or potential threat of life or property, the City will react to items that are brought to our attention by neighboring property owners or concerned citizens. Some cities have found that “pro-active code enforcement” is a way to assure neighborhoods and commercial properties are kept at a standard to encourage continued investments. Compensation / Pay Policy – Q4 The City has not adopted a statement that indicates our intention as it relates to attracting qualified candidates and retaining our existing talent pool of employees. Many organizations will determine how competitive they want to be regarding attracting and retaining employees and measure their resource allocation decisions against that policy. Environmental Programs – Q4 In the past, the City has funded the “environmental programs” such as Household Hazardous Waste, Yard Waste Composting, White Goods Drop-Off, Recycling Center Operations, etc. through a portion of the tipping fees collected at the landfill. Some of these programs will be retained by the assigned private landfill operator, Heartland Environmental Services, other programs are available through other community resources, and a few of the programs will not be available. Cultural Arts Master Plan- Q4 Although there has been significant progress towards the implementation of the Cultural Arts Master Plan, many initiatives and programs have not been achieved. Recently the Parks and Recreation Department commissioned an update of the 2011 Cultural Arts Plan and will be presenting these findings to the City. Residential Rental Program – Q4 Many of our older neighborhoods have seen an increase in rental-occupied homes. The property values and stability of these neighborhoods could be strengthened through a code inspection program when there is a change in occupancy. Transportation Capacity (1/2¢ Capital Improvement Sales Tax) – Q4 The 1/2¢ Capital Improvement Sales Tax has traditionally been used to create new transportation capacities which resulted in improved levels of service or new economic development opportunities. This sales tax will expire in 2018 and will need to be renewed through an election process.

2: Administrative Summary “Big 5” Downtown Plan Implementation – Q4 Recently the City Council adopted five strategic approaches to moving forward the 2004 Old Lee’s Summit Redevelopment Plan: a) expanded definition of “downtown”; b) creation of an outdoor event space, c) development of key corridors and gateways, d) implementation of parking strategy, and e) development of zoning and land use guidelines to encourage density housing opportunities. Transportation / MoDOT (Todd George Road) – Q4 There are existing capacity issues at this intersection that reduces the level of service for traffic. Also, this intersection restricts future development opportunities due to capacity issues. The construction of the Blackwell Road interchange may reduce the traffic demand at this location. The City will monitor the impact of the Blackwell Road interchange to determine the urgency. Rock Island Railroad Corridor – Q4 Jackson County is negotiating with Union Pacific Railroad to purchase the Rock Island Railroad corridor. This corridor runs through the southeastern portion of the City upward to the View High and I-470 interchange, eventually connecting to the Jackson County Sports Complex. If the purchase is completed, there may be an impact to the City of Lee’s Summit regarding the future potential uses of this corridor. Summary Proactive effort today to address our emerging issues will place Lee’s Summit in a position to deliver positive outcomes for our residents.

2: Administrative Summary

Additionally, Key Performance Indicators have been established such that basic services of the City are being measured and improved upon. These categories are the same as those used in the Covey prioritization technique for the purposes of strategic planning. 1. Safety 2. Dependability and Reliability 3. Community Expectations Safety encompasses the public safety realm, including Fire Department and Law Enforcement. The performance indicators and measurements for this category will include average response time, call for service, and crime rates. Investing in and maintaining our infrastructure is a key function of Public Works, and their success is a highly visible performance measure of the Dependability and Reliability of the City. Performance measurements for this Key Performance Indicator will include adherence to the 7 year plan for slurry seal on the roads, snow and ice removal in accordance to the annual Snow Plan, and bridge sufficiency. One of the values of this community is that Lee’s Summit remains a safe, vibrant, and beautiful city. Codes Enforcement and Neighborhood Services Division ensures that residential and commercial structures in the city comply with the Unified Development Ordinance as well as the City Code of Ordinances. Timely abatement of these issues is a Community Expectation of Lee’s Summit residents. 1. Safety

Fund and Department organization The General Fund: This fund includes budgets for 10 departments that provide the mission critical services to our residents, such as police and fire protection, street maintenance, planning, codes, court, and general administration of the City. Special Revenue Funds: Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than expendable trust or major capital project) requiring separate accounting because of legal or regulatory provisions or administrative action. This includes the Parks, grants, business and industry, tax increment financing (TIF), and transportation development district (TDD) funds. Debt Service Funds: The city utilizes two funds to record the receipt and disbursement of monies used to repay principal and interest charges on city issued debt. The General Obligation Debt Service Fund and Park COP Debt Service Fund are used to account for the annual retirement of bonds issued from 2003 through 2014. Capital Project Funds: The capital improvement funds include budgets that allocate expenses for infrastructure improvements. The City’s capital projects are funded by a variety of different sources. The City’s road and bridge maintenance projects and capital improvements are funded by a ½ sales tax. Other projects are funded by tax increment financing and through the sale of general obligation bonds. Enterprise Funds: The City’s enterprise funds hold the budgets for departments that operate in business-type activities. These funds rely on revenues generated from sales of materials or services. The enterprise funds include budgets for our Water Utilities, Solid Waste, and Airport activities.

3: Budget Overview Key Financial Trends The City’s Budget Committee is updated monthly regarding the City’s financial condition and financial trends. In addition to the monthly information, the Budget Committee reviews key trends when presented midyear projections and budget estimates. At the beginning of the budget process for FY17, the City’s major sources showed marginal growth following rapid development that started early in 2000 and slowed during the most recent recession. However, positive monthly trends emerged during FY16 that forecasted significant revenue growth and reduced expenditures. Total General Fund revenue for FY16 is anticipated to finish $1.2m, or 2%, above FY15 amounts. New growth of approximately 2.5% is expected to occur over the next five year period. Additionally, in FY16 the City began review of user fees and charges which will continue in the next year. In FY16, ambulance fees were increased to achieve a better cost recovery from those who use the service and our residents. The new rates will allow for 50% cost recovery for EMS services. This new rate is still below other municipalities in the metro and allows for the collection of the maximum authorized amount from medicare/Medicaid which was previously limited due to the smaller fee amount.

In addition to revenue analysis, key expenditure trends are presented for Budget Committee review. The largest category of expenditures, excluding capital costs, is for personnel. An important trend the City is monitoring is the increase in health insurance costs. Health insurance is growing faster than any other operating cost. Additionally, as has been the experience in previous years, FY16 expenditure amounts are expected to be below budget by approximately $3.0m, or -5%, and $317k, or -.5%, below FY15. During the FY17 budget process, budget staff and department directors, analyzed the variance between budgeted amounts and actual amounts to identify the cause of the significant variance. The review found that many of the departmental budgets included contingency items that often never

Page 43 of 225


3: Budget Overview occurred. While budgeting and planning for all possible outcomes and realities builds solid budgets, the inclusion of contingency items distorted the annual expenditure request and limited the City Council and City Manager’s ability to direct new resources to existing programs or pursue new opportunities. A reduced contingency amount has been planned and budgeted within the Administration department budget.

Beginning in FY15 and continuing to FY16, the City Manager presented to the City Council a two year plan that would adjust general fund expenditures to a level that could be supported by regular, reoccurring revenues and achieve a balanced budget. The FY15 budget anticipated the use of approximately $1.4m of funding from the reserve balance however, through revenue growth and cost cutting measures the general fund reserve balance is expected to grow by approximately $2.4m. In FY17, the budget includes use of approximately $890k of the General Fund reserve balance to fund the addition of two new ambulances, EMS personnel, and information technology infrastructure projects. EMS fees were increased to offset the increased level of service and to provide sustainable funding in future years.

3: Budget Overview Organizational Policies and Procedures Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The City of Lee’s Summit, Missouri (the City) was incorporated in 1868 and covers an area of approximately 64 square miles in Jackson and Cass Counties, Missouri. Lee’s Summit is a charter city operating under an elected Mayor-City Council form of government. The City Administrator is the chief administrative officer of the City. The City provides services to more than 70,000 residents in many areas including law enforcement, fire protection, water and sewer services, community enrichment and development, and various social services. Educational services are provided by separate governmental entities. The accounting and reporting policies of the City conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to local governments. The following represent the more significant accounting and reporting policies and practices of the City. The Financial Reporting Entity The City is governed by an elected eight-member council and a mayor. As required by GAAP, these financial statements present the City of Lee’s Summit (the primary government). The following component unit is included in the City’s reporting entity because of the significance of its operational and financial relationship with the City. Blended Component Unit The following legally separate entity is a component unit which is, in substance, a part of the City’s general operations. This component unit provides services almost entirely to the primary government and provides services which almost exclusively benefit the primary government. Data from this unit is combined with data of the primary government for financial reporting purposes. The Lee’s Summit, Missouri Municipal Building Authority (the Authority) is a not-for-profit corporation incorporated under the laws of the state of Missouri on August 13, 1994. The Authority is governed by a three-member board appointed by the City Council. The Authority was established to promote, acquire, develop, construct, own and lease facilities within the City which are approved by the City Council for the purpose of promoting the economic, social, industrial, cultural and commercial growth and for the general benefit of the City and its residents. Administration of its various programs is performed by City employees. Although it is legally separate from the City, the Authority is reported as if it were part of the primary government because its sole purpose is to finance and construct the City’s public buildings. Separate financial statements for the Authority are not prepared.

Basis of Budgeting and Presentation The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds and account groups, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, equities, revenues and expenditures or

3: Budget Overview

expenses. The various funds are grouped by type in the general purpose financial statements. The following fund types and account groups are used by the City. Governmental Fund Types The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than expendable trust or major capital projects) requiring separate accounting because of legal or regulatory provisions or administrative action. The Debt Service Fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, principal, interest and fiscal charges on long-term obligations other than obligations payable from the operations of Proprietary Fund Types. Capital Project Funds are used to account for financial resources segregated for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities other than those financed by Proprietary Fund Types or Expendable Trust Funds. Proprietary Fund Types Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations which provide a service to the general public and are financed primarily by user charges from such services. Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods or services provided by one department to other departments of the City on a cost-reimbursement basis. Fiduciary Fund Types Expendable Trust Funds are used to account for assets held in trust by the City for others. The City’s Expendable Trust Funds include the Entitlement Fund. Account Groups The General Fixed Assets Account Group is established to account for all fixed assets of the City other than those accounted for in the Proprietary Fund Types. Construction in progress, which recognizes the value of assets not completed, is also included in this fund. The General Long-Term Debt Account Group is established to account for all long-term indebtedness of the City except that accounted for in the Proprietary Fund Types. Basis of Accounting The accounting and financial reporting applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. All Governmental Fund Types and Expendable Trust Funds are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds present increases (i.e.,

City of Lee’s Summit Annual Budget FY17

Page 51 of 225


3: Budget Overview

revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. The modified accrual basis of accounting is used by all Governmental Fund Types, Expendable Trust Funds and Agency Funds. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they become measurable and available). “Measurable” means the amount of the transaction can be determined and “available” means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The City considers property taxes as available if they are collected within 60 days after year-end. A one-year availability period is used for revenue recognition for all other Governmental Fund revenues. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred. Principal and interest on general long-term debt are recorded as fund liabilities when due or when amounts have been accumulated in the Debt Service Fund for payments to be made early in the following year. Those revenues susceptible to accrual are property taxes, franchise taxes and interest. Sales taxes collected and held by the state at year-end on behalf of the City also are recognized as revenue. Fines, licenses and permits are not susceptible to accrual because, generally, they are not measurable until received in cash. All Proprietary Fund Types are accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, all assets and all liabilities associated with the operation of these funds are included on the balance sheet. Fund equity (i.e., net total assets) is segregated into contributed capital and retained earnings components. Proprietary Fund Type operating statements present increases (e.g., revenues, non-operating revenues and operating transfers in) and decreases (e.g., expenses, nonoperating expenses and operating transfers out) in net total assets. The accrual basis of accounting is utilized by the Proprietary Fund Types. Under this method, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred. The City does not apply Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) statements issued after November 30, 1989 for its Proprietary Funds. Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents include investments with original maturities of less than three months. Other Taxes and Revenues Recognized state shared taxes, such as motor, gas and liquor taxes, represent payments received during the current fiscal period. Federal and state grant aid is reported as revenue when the related reimbursable expenditures are incurred. Unrestricted aid is reported as revenue in the fiscal year the entitlement is received. Charges for services are generally susceptible to accrual and are recorded as revenue when earned.

3: Budget Overview

Licenses, fees, fines, forfeitures and other revenues are generally not susceptible to accrual and are recorded when received in cash. Inventories Inventories, which primarily consist of water line maintenance materials, are valued at cost using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The costs of Governmental Fund Type inventories are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased. Prepaid Insurance Prepaid insurance represents the payment of insurance premiums for coverage that benefits more than one fiscal period. The premium amounts are amortized over the policy periods. Deferred Bond Issue Costs and Unamortized Bond Discount Deferred bond issue costs and unamortized bond discount are amortized over the life of the debt using the effective interest method. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment owned by the Proprietary Fund Types are stated at actual or estimated historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Contributed assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the time received. Assets acquired through capital leases are recorded in the appropriate property, plant and equipment accounts and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Amortization of assets recorded under capital leases is included within Proprietary Fund Type depreciation expense. Depreciation of plant and equipment is provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:

Buildings

20–40 years

Plant and water/sewerage systems

35–75 years

Machinery and equipment

3–15 years

It is general practice to charge maintenance and repairs to expenses. Major expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Cost of assets sold or retired and the related amounts of accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts in the year of sale or retirements, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the general purpose financial statements. General Fixed Assets General fixed assets have been acquired for general governmental purposes. Assets purchased are recorded as expenditures in the Governmental Fund Types and capitalized at actual or estimated

Page 53 of 225


3: Budget Overview

historical cost in the General Fixed Assets Account Group. In the case of gifts or contributions, such assets are recorded in General Fixed Assets Account Group at fair market value when received. Certain improvements, including roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems and lighting systems, have not been capitalized. No depreciation is provided on general fixed assets. Interest Expenditures Expenditures for interest on general long-term debt are accounted for in the year of payment. Compensated Absences Under the terms of the City’s personnel policy, City employees are granted vacation and sick leave in varying amounts. In the event of termination, an employee is paid for accumulated vacation days up to the equivalent of two years’ vacation (maximum of six weeks). Employees are paid for one-eighth of accumulated sick leave upon termination if they have five or more years of employment with the City. All employer-related costs of vacation and sick leave are accrued and recorded when earned. Only the current portion of accrued vacation and sick leave is recorded in the Governmental Fund Types, and the remainder of the liability is reported in the General Long-Term Debt Account Group. All employerrelated costs of accrued vacation and sick leave in the Proprietary Fund Types is recorded entirely within those funds. Budgetary Procedures The reported budgetary data represents the final approved budget after amendments as adopted by the City Council. Amendments to the original budget were not material, and appropriations lapse at yearend. The basis of accounting is the same for both budgeting and GAAP reporting purposes. The City Council utilizes the following procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the general purpose financial statements. (1) Prior to the beginning of the fiscal year, the City Administrator submits to the City Council a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1. The operating budget provides a complete financial plan of all funds and activities for the upcoming fiscal year. In no event shall the total proposed expenditures exceed the estimated revenues to be received plus any unencumbered cash reserves estimated to be on hand at the beginning of the budget year. (2) Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments. (3) Prior to July 1, the budget is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, department and program. Department heads may make transfers of appropriations within their departments. Upon written request by the City Administrator, the Council may, by ordinance, transfer part or all of any unencumbered appropriation balance from one department to another. The legal level of budgetary control is the department level.

3: Budget Overview

Although the City is legally required to prepare budgets for all funds, there is no legal requirement to report on those budgets. Therefore, the Combined Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances – Budget and Actual presents a comparison of budget and actual for only the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Fund and the Expendable Trust Fund. All special revenue funds have annual appropriated budgets except for the Federal Emergency Management Measures Fund (FEMA). The FEMA Fund is activated only when the City is declared a state or federal disaster area. Capital projects are budgeted on a project basis rather than on an annual fiscal basis; therefore, a comparison of actual to budget for Capital Project Funds would not be meaningful

Budget Adoption and Administration As adopted by City Charter and Council Policy The following procedures will be followed in the preparation, adoption, administration, and control of departmental budgets within city organizations. Preparation The following fund types shall be budgeted:

• • • • • •

General Operating Special Revenue Debt Service Capital Projects Enterprise Internal Service

useful life or can be expected to extend the life two years or more. A more detailed explanation of this account may be found in the City's Capital Asset Policy. Administration No Capital Expenditure will be made unless:

• It was specifically budgeted for in the adopted budget, or the Management Analyst determines that there are funds available in the department's budget, and the City Manager approves the purchase in writing. • The City Council upon recommendation of the appropriate standing committees shall authorize the unbudgeted expenditure if it exceeds $10,000 to the extent that the reappropriation of funds does not diminish the overall goal and objectives of the departments program for which these funds are taken. The request for such approval shall be highlighted on the Council's Regular Agenda, and backup material provided which explains the purpose of the change and its impact on budget priorities. The City Manager shall approve all transfers of funds between line items within each department's budget which exceed $10,000. The City Manager may transfer part or all of any unencumbered appropriation balance among programs within a department and, upon written request by the City Manager, the Council may by ordinance transfer part or all of any unencumbered appropriation balance from one department to another. Reporting: The Administration Department will provide timely reports of budget position to each Department Director, the City Manager, Mayor, and City Council. Expenditure Projection and Analysis: The Administration Department will analyze the expenditures of each department on a monthly basis and inform each Department Director whose expenditures appear to be exceeding the adopted budget. By the end of the seventh month of each budget year, the Administration Department will notify all Department Directors whose budgets are likely to be exceeded. The City Manager, Mayor, and City Council shall also be notified. Each Department Director so notified shall, within two weeks, inform the Finance Director and City Manager of the actions he/she will take to avoid exceeding the departmental budget. CONTROL OF BUDGET OVERRUNS Budget Overruns: If, during the budget year, the Administration Department shall determine that a department's expenditures will exceed the approved budget, the Management Analyst shall with the approval of the City Manager prepare an adjustment to the budget. If the department's expenditures are expected to exceed the approved budget a Budget Amendment shall be prepared for submission to

City of Lee’s Summit Annual Budget FY17

3: Budget Overview the Mayor and City Council. In the event of an emergency, the City Manager may authorize an expenditure by a department which is in an "overrun" situation. Summary The Director of each department shall be held responsible and accountable for the expenditures of his/her department. The Management Analyst shall, through timely reports and analysis, keep Department Directors and elected officials informed of any possible budget problems. A department shall not exceed its approved budget without authorization from the City Manager. Amendments which change the total budgeted appropriations for any fund will be made through adoption of a budget revision ordinance.

3: Budget Overview The interest rate quoted may be tied to another rate to allow for market fluctuations (i.e, the most recent ninety-day (90) treasury bill plus or minus basis points). Any such rate must be subject to independent verification. To accomplish the above listed duties the following activities should be performed on a daily basis: • • • • •

Log on to the Bank On-Line Account Inquiry system and print the account balance for that day. Compare the bank balance with the General Ledger Cash Board for reasonableness, i.e. recently issued checks or deposits that may not have cleared. Compare the accounts payable open items list for large payments scheduled for the current and subsequent week to arrive at a cash needs amount. Project any significant cash receipts due that would correspond with outgoing payments, i.e. sales tax normally wired on the tenth of the month, franchise tax receipts and any grant or tax payments. Establish regular vendor payments utilizing ACH process.

DEBT MANAGEMENT POLICY As adopted by Council Policy

DEBT TYPES The City of Lee's Summit is authorized to issue General Obligation Bonds, Revenue Bonds, and LeasePurchase Certificates of Participation.

In determining the type of bond to issue, the following factors should be considered: The direct and indirect beneficiaries of the project. A significantly large proportion of citizens should benefit from projects financed from general obligation bonds. o o o o o o

The time pattern of the stream of benefits generated by the project. The revenues that may be raised by alternative types of user charges. The cost-effectiveness of user charges. The effect of the proposed bond issue on the City's ability to finance future projects of equal or high priority. The true interest cost of each type of bond. The impact on the City's financial condition and credit ratings.

General Obligation Bonds The city is authorized to issue General Obligation Bonds payable from ad valorem taxes to finance capital improvements and equipment upon a two-thirds majority vote, and on general election

City of Lee’s Summit Annual Budget FY17

Page 60 of 225


3: Budget Overview dates a four-sevenths majority vote, of the qualified voters. The Missouri constitution permits the City to incur general obligation indebtedness for City purposes not to exceed 10% of the assessed valuation of taxable tangible property; and to incur general obligation indebtedness not exceeding an additional 10% for acquiring rights of way; constructing and improving streets, sanitary sewers, and storm sewers; and purchasing or constructing waterworks plants. General obligation, property tax-supported bonding should be used to finance only those capital improvements and long term assets, which have been determined to be essential to the maintenance or development of the City. The City should maintain a General Debt and Interest Fund balance which is at least 50% of the average annual debt service.

Revenue Bonds The City is also authorized to issue Revenue Bonds to finance capital improvements to its combined water and sewerage system, airport and sanitary landfill facilities. These types of Revenue Bonds require a simple majority vote. Revenue Bonds do not carry the full faith and credit of the City in servicing bond indebtedness, and such bonds are not considered in determining the legal debt margin resulting from the 20% limitation described above. However, if any taxes are pledged or dedicated to the payment of revenue bonds (sales taxes, property taxes etc.) the bonds must be voted as general obligation bonds, the debt limit must be observed, and all bonds must be paid off within 20 years.

Revenue supported bonds should be used to limit potential dependence on property taxes for those projects with available revenue sources, whether self-generated or dedicated from other sources. Adequate financial feasibility studies should be performed for each project to provide assurances as to the self-liquidating nature of the project or adequacy of dedicated revenue sources. 63-20 Corporations (Municipal Building Authority) Internal Revenue Service Ruling 63-20 allows the City to create not-for-profit corporations. Through these corporations, the City can issue tax-exempt bonds for the lease purchase of equipment and facilities without the voter approval required for the issuance of general obligation bonds--the City's obligation under a one-year annually renewable lease is not an "indebtedness" according to the Missouri Constitution. The City has financed several projects and equipment purchases through the Lee's Summit Municipal Building Authority.

Page 61 of 225


3: Budget Overview Lease financing is appropriate whenever the introduction of leased equipment and/or a capital improvement results in verifiable operating savings that, properly discounted, outweigh the lease financing costs. Adequate financial feasibility studies should be performed for all innovative financing proposals such as lease and lease-purchase agreements, tax increment financing, pool participation, and special assessment projects. Long term borrowing will be confined to construction of capital improvements and acquisition of capital equipment too large to be financed from current revenues. Proceeds from long-term debt should only be used for construction project costs, acquisition of other fixed assets, bond issue costs, debt service reserve requirements, and refunding of outstanding bond issues and will not be used for current, ongoing operations. Debt will be extinguished within a period not to exceed the expected useful life of the capital project or equipment. The City should actively monitor its investment practices to ensure maximum returns on its invested bond funds while complying with Federal arbitrage guidelines. The Finance Department should continually monitor outstanding debt issues to verify compliance with debt covenants. The City's financial management policies should be oriented to maintain a balanced relationship between issuing debt and pay as you go financing. Financial Advisor The City shall retain the services of a Financial Advisor to assist the city in identifying capital financing alternatives and planning its debt program. The financial advisor's role in the debt issuance will vary depending on whether bonds are issued through a competitive or negotiated method of sale. The financial advisor should have no affiliation with the underwriting of a particular issue of the city. The financial advisor and or employees of the financial advisor shall not have made political contributions to any candidate for public office in the city for a period of two years preceding their selection as financial advisor. Method of Bond Sale When appropriate, new debt issues will be offered utilizing the competitive bid process. In a competitive sale, the financial advisor will assist in determining the structure and timing of the issue, prepare bond documents and rating agency presentations and evaluate the best bid and assist in the closing transaction. Refunding of Existing Debt

City of Lee’s Summit Annual Budget FY17

Page 62 of 225


3: Budget Overview The city will consider undertaking a refunding when one or more of the following three conditions exist: 1.

The present value of all refunding costs, (including interest, call premium, bond counsel, financial underwriter spread/discount and other issuance costs) is less than the present value of the current interest. Net present value savings should approximate a minimum of three percent (3%).

2.

The city wishes to restructure debt service.

3.

The city wishes to eliminate old bond covenants that may have become restrictive.

Financial Underwriter The financial underwriter shall determine which bid for the city's bonds is best by reviewing the pricing of comparable issues, talking to potential investors, identifying other similar issues that are likely to be in the market at the same time, and assessing the level of competition among various underwriting firms utilizing the Negotiated Sale process. The financial underwriter and or employees of the financial underwriter shall not have made political contributions to any candidate for public office in the city, for a period of two years preceding their selection as financial underwriter. Federal Arbitrage Compliance Arbitrage is the difference between the yield on an issuer's tax exempt bond and the investment income earned on the proceeds. Arbitrage profits are earned when lower-yielding tax-exempt bond proceeds are invested in higher-yielding taxable securities. Federal arbitrage restrictions imposed by the federal government prohibit an issuer from retaining arbitrage profits when investing bond proceeds at a yield that exceeds the yield on the bonds. The city will calculate or contract with a reputable firm to calculate, any arbitrage liability, and rebate such, to the U.S. Treasury in accordance with federal guidelines.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS (CIP) BUDGET ADOPTION AND ADMINISTRATION POLICY As referenced by City Charter and Council Adopted Policy

Page 63 of 225


3: Budget Overview The following procedures will be followed in the preparation, adoption, administration, and control of capital projects. Preparation and Adoption The City’s Charter mandates the development and annual review of a capital improvements plan and estimated operating and maintenance costs of the proposed improvements. The plan is formally adopted each year by the Planning Commission as part of the Comprehensive Plan. This approach addresses legal requirements for public hearings on the location, nature and extent of all projects. All costs identified for the first year of the plan are included in the City’s Operating Budget, which is adopted by the Mayor and City Council, for the upcoming fiscal year. Capital Expenditures Capital Expenditures are expenditures incurred through the acquisition or enhancement of fixed assets, to the extent the expenditure exceeds $1,000 and has a useful life or can be expected to extend the life three years or more. Capital Project Financing The City of Lee's Summit is authorized to issue General Obligation Bonds, Revenue Bonds, and Lease-Purchase Certificates of Participation. In determining the type of bond to issue, the following factors should be considered: • • • • • • •

The direct and indirect beneficiaries of the project. A significantly large proportion of citizens should benefit from projects financed from general obligation bonds. The time pattern of the stream of benefits generated by the project. The revenues that may be raised by alternative types of user charges. The cost-effectiveness of user charges.

SECTION 4: REVENUE PROJECTIONS

Page 67 of 225


4: Revenue Projections

Revenue Projections The primary support for general services comes from diverse revenue sources such as property taxes, sales taxes, and utility franchise taxes. Combined, these major revenue sources comprise approximately 78% of all general fund revenues. The balance of revenues is derived from user charges, fines and forfeitures, investment income, intergovernmental revenues and miscellaneous fees and charges. In previous years, these revenue sources experienced steady growth allowing the City to maintain and in some service areas expand the level of service. Recovery from the recent economic downturn has slowly occurred. In FY17, modest growth was budgeted in property and sales tax revenues but remained flat for franchise taxes. Anticipated growth is budgeted to be less than 2.5% compared to over 4% growth annually before the start of the recession. The following revenue projection pages are prepared for all major revenue sources over $1 million. They are presented in order of highest to lowest total revenue. The starting point for all account revenue projections begins with the new construction building permit activity of the past year. From this, assessed valuations are projected for the property tax accounts. The building permit information also provides an estimation of population growth, which is normally factored into the various accounts such as license, permits and fees. Historical account activity is tracked to also provide trend information to provide a comparative basis for projections. Each revenue page has five sections, which lists the account code, legal authorization, description, basis of revenue projection and the fund collection/distribution. 1. The Account Code section lists the specific line item that the receipt will be posted to in the city's general ledger accounting system. 2. The Legal Authorization section should list either the state statute or city ordinance, which allows the city to levy and receive this source of funds. 3. The Description section provides a brief explanation of the formula (i.e. tax levy times assessed valuation or building permit square footage times rate per foot), or established schedule of fees. 4. The Basis of Revenue Projection section describes the logic and/or assumptions used to arrive at the projected amounts and possibly he history or trend analysis of the particular account. The Fund Collection/Distribution section lists the most recent five years of actual receipt activity in the account, plus a projection for the current fiscal year and the upcoming budget year. In the case where a single revenue account is received in more than one fund, all funds are listed by fund category and then totaled.

Property Tax Legal Authorization:

Account Codes:

State Statute : Chapter 94, Chapter 137 City Ordinance : N/A

4000, 4001, 4003, 4004, 4005

Description: Revenue from the ad valorem tax, levied on all real and personal property is based upon the assessed valuation as established by the County Assessor on January 1st of each year. Real property assessed valuation is determined by applying the market value times the appropriate assessment ratios. They are as follows: Commercial/Industrial - 32%; Residential - 19%; Agricultural - 12%. Personal property assessed valuation is set at 33% of market value and is determined by the State Tax Commission. Each year the City Council must set the rates to be levied for the City’s property taxes. In odd numbered years, all county assessors are required to re-assess property values in their county. The Hancock Amendment applies to Previously Assessed Property (property assessed prior to 2015—all AV from 2014), and, limits the increase in 2015 Revenues generated by that property to the lesser of 5%, the CPI or the increase in assessed values for previously assessed property. Budget amounts are calculated using the previous calendar year's final assessment or preliminary assessment. Because reassessment only occurs in odd numbered years, budgeted amounts fall short of actual amounts because of conservative growth projections at the time of calculation.

Basis of Projection & Analysis:

Financial Trend $33,000,000

Jackson County provided a preliminary assessment for FY17, CY 2016, of preal and personal roperty values. Previously assessed value decreased slightly, which allowed the levy to rise 0.3%. But due to new construction, property tax receipts are expected to rise 1.8%.

4020, 4021

Description: The City imposes a total sales tax of 2.25% on all goods and commodities sold within the City limits, and it is broken down into four funds as detailed below . Transportation and Park Development local sales taxes are not levied on utilities. The State of Missouri receives the tax from the respective business and distributes the funds monthly to the City. In an April 5, 2005 special election, the City voted to extend the Park Development Fund's local sales tax for a period of ten years beginning April 1, 2008 at a rate of one-quarter of one percent (1/4 of 1%). This rate was a .125% reduction from what was then the current rate. In an April 3, 2007 special election, the City also voted to extend the Capital Improvements sales tax for streets and related projects for a period of ten years from its pending expiration of March 31, 2008 with no rate change. Therefore, beginning April 1, 2008, the City's total sales tax rate was reduced from 2.375% to 2.25% due the reduction of .125% in the Park Development Fund.

EATS -- Local Sales Tax Account Codes:

Legal Authorization: State Statute : Section 99.820, 99.845 City Ordinance :

4020, 4021

Description: For redevelopment projects approved by ordinance after August 31, 1991, fifty percent of the total additional revenue from taxes, penalties and interest which are imposed by the municipality or other taxing districts, and which are generated by economic activities within the area over a determined base amount, but excluding certain taxes, shall be allocated to, and paid to the municipality, who shall deposit such funds in a separate segregated account within a special allocation fund. Lee's Summit has seven active TIF redevelopment projects which are/will generate economic activity taxes (EATS): Summit Woods, Chapel Ridge, I-470 Business and Technology, Longview, Todd George and 50 Highway and Summit Fair. In an April 5, 2005 special election, the City voted to extend the Park Development Fund's local sales tax for a period of ten years beginning April 1, 2008 at a rate of one-quarter of one percent (1/4 of 1%). This rate was a .125% reduction from what was then the current rate. In an April 3, 2007 special election, the City also voted to extend the Capital Improvements sales tax for streets and related projects for a period of ten years from its pending expiration of March 31, 2008 with no rate change. Therefore, beginning April 1, 2008, the City's total sales tax rate was reduced from 2.375% to 2.25% due the reduction of .125% in the Park Development Fund.

Basis of Projection & Analysis:

Financial Trend $3,700,000

EATs payments for a major shopping center ended in 2013. This amounts to an estimated $1 million reduction for general fund receipts.

State Statute : Section 100.010 to 100.200, 353.030, and 99.800 to 99.865 City Ordinance : N/A

4006

Description: The City promotes economic development by utilizing several state authorized tax incentive mechanisms: 1. Chapter 100 - provides an incentive for new industries to locate in the area, as well as encourages companies already in the area to remain, by assisting them in improving their present facilities or in building new ones; ad valorem taxes on bond-financed property are abated, and negotiated PILOTs are made by the company to the City and each political subdivision. 2. Tax Increment Financing (TIF) - encourages development of blighted, substandard, or economically under-utilized areas that would not develop without public assistance; the PILOTs are made by property owners in the redevelopment area on the increase in current equalized assessed valuation of each such parcel, and such payments are deposited into the special allocation fund (SAF); payments to the SAF may be used to pay for the redevelopment project costs or to repay any obligations (i.e., bonds or promissory notes) issued by the municipality to pay for the redevelopment project costs.

Basis of Projection:

Financial Trend $9,000,000

Chapter 100 Bonds Summit Technology, BHA Technologies Inc., and Kokam America are reflected in the General Fund category below. The PILOTs are generated pursuant to the terms of Section 100.010 to 100.200, RSMo. The allocation of the PILOT for distribution to the City is based on the City's levy in effect when the Section 100 Bonds were issued.

SECTION 5: GENERAL FUND OVERVIEW

Page 79 of 225


5: General Fund Overview General

General Fund . The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. Expenditures from this fund provide the basic city services, such as police and fire protection. It also funds the following departments and the services they provide: Administration, Codes Administration, Finance, Law, Municipal Court, Planning & Development, and Public Works. The General Fund is categorized as a governmental fund type. The major revenue sources of this fund are property taxes, retail sales taxes, and utility franchise taxes. The remaining revenues are derived from the various user fees and other sources. A key element of the budget process is projecting the fund’s ending reserve balance. Total expenditures for the upcoming fiscal year are set based on projected revenues for the coming year and to ensure fund reserves will remain at the level set by policy. Fund balance reserves represent the unappropriated accumulation of the difference between actual revenues and expenditures. The source and timing of revenues dictates the level of fund balance necessary to avoid cash shortages in normal day to day operations. The City recognizes the need to establish and maintain adequate reserves to avoid any disruption in service level caused by either a downturn in a significant revenue item or one that is only received at a particular time such as property taxes in December. Accordingly, the City Council adopted an ordinance that requires 16.67%, or an amount equal to two months of expenditures. The City utilizes Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (GAAP) based budgeting for the General Fund. This requires that the modified accrual method of accounting is used to record revenues and expenditures. Revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e. when they become measurable and available). “Measurable” means the amount of the transaction can be determined, and “available” means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of current period. Revenues susceptible to accrual are property taxes, franchise taxes and interest revenue. Sales taxes collected and held by the state at year-end on behalf of the City also are recognized as revenue. User charges, fines, licenses, permits and miscellaneous revenues are not susceptible to accrual because generally they are not measurable until received in cash.

General Fund Reserve Balance During the budget process, the General Fund reserve balance is projected for five fiscal years out from the budget year to evaluate the long term impact of current budget and spending decisions. The projections are very fluid, particularly during the budget process and new information becomes available and various assumptions and budget levels are evaluated. The table below reflects the five year projections used during the FY16 budget process containing the information available at that time.

*Note*: FY16 Actuals are preliminary, unaudited, year end amounts. This table was updated after the ‘Review of Funds’

Until recently, General Fund revenues exceeded expenditures, as depicted in the following graph. The City Manager, Management Team, and staff have been working over the last few years to make the necessary structural adjustment to correct future defecits. Beginning in FY14 and continuing through FY16 with the City Manager’s two year plan, the City will reduce expenditures to levels that can be funded with reoccuring revenues. This will require reductions in personnel expenses and service expenditures. In FY16, the projected reductions amounts total approximately $2.1m with $1.5m of reductions coming from salaries, health insurance, overtime, and benefit costs. Following revenue growth and reduced expenditures, FY17 adjustments were made to reduce contingency items budgeted. Additionally, the FY17 request included use of approximately $890k from the reserve balance.

GeneralFund Overview 5: General

General Fund Reserve Balance Policy In FY14 the City Council adopted a new fund balance policy. The adequacy of unrestricted fund balance in the general fund should be assessed based upon a government’s specific circumstances. The Government Finance Officers Association recommends, at a minimum, that general-purpose governments, regardless of size, incorporate in its financial policies that unrestricted fund balance in their general fund be no less than two average months of regular general fund operating revenues or regular general fund operating expenditures. If fund balance falls below the policy level it should be replenished within the subsequent year or in the case of an extraordinary expenditure three years.

All Finance department programs are classified in and charged directly to the General Fund. The Departmental Administration program’s primary function is to account for general and administrative expenditures necessary to operate the department. These charges are common to all divisions and not directly associated with any particular one, i.e. Information Technology Systems and Central Building Services overhead and replacement allocations. The Budget and Accounting Services program involves the traditional processing of all of the City's invoices for goods and services and recording all related general ledger transactions in order to prepare financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This program is also responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure and procuring the independent financial audit each fiscal year. The objectives of an internal control structure are to provide management with reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition. The Debt and Cash Management Program is responsible for establishing proper internal controls for the collection and distribution of revenue for the 70 active funds. In addition, this program oversees the City's outstanding and active debt issues approximating $74.3 million and maintains the City’s investment portfolio averaging $100 million according to the City investment policy and cash management procedures. Procurement and Contract Services provides semi-centralized procurement of goods and services. The division is responsible for obtaining commodities and services at the most economical prices while ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and policies. It also directs the procurement of professional services, heavy equipment, small construction, vehicles and other goods and services. Lastly, the division establishes contracts to provide an immediate and uninterrupted source of supplies for frequently used items and is responsible for the disposal of surplus property. The Support to Development program accounts for finance related expenditures attributed to economic development and any associated tax incentive programs.

Technicians provide field and office support for records retention, surveying, drafting, GIS, inspections, customer service, development support, updating technology, and many other work technical support functions. Pavement management is also administrated out of this division. The pavement management program includes crack seal, micro surface, ultra thin bonded wearing surface, overlay and curb replacement for 1,029 lane miles of City maintained roadway. MicroPaver software is used to record pavement condition evaluations and forecast maintenance and budget needs.

The Traffic Team fabricates and installs traffic signage throughout the City; performs paint striping on City-owned parking lots and cross-walks; maintains and repairs 55 signalized intersections and 1,500 City-owned street lights, including 133 downtown street lights. The Construction Management (CM) Team manages and inspects construction of road, stormwater, traffic, pavement management programs, water, and sanitary sewer capital projects. Duties generally include monitoring construction schedules and budgets, overseeing compliance with environmental and labor law requirements, inspecting construction for conformance to project plans and technical specifications, and communicating with members of the public affected by the construction project. The CM Team recently added a Field Engineering Inspector as the first step to establish a Right-of-Way Management group. This inspector provides extensive customer service to residents by monitoring contractors working in the public right-of-way. Typical work includes monitoring utilities, traffic control, and working with individual property owners on many issues impacting public infrastructure. All of the Teams work extensively with other divisions and departments within the City as well as providing professional staff interface with organizations such as the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC), the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR), and the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT).

The Business and Industry Tax fund was created to account for the license tax on certain gross receipts of hotels, motels and similar places of business, in an amount equal to 5% of gross daily rental receipts derived from transient guests for sleeping accommodations. The proceeds are used to promote the general economic welfare of the City including attraction and retention of business and industry to the community and the promotion and provision of facilities for tourism, conventions, and visitors. Businesses are allowed to deduct 2% processing fee if their tax is remitted before the 20th of the month. The 7 hotel/motels in the City have a total of 493 rooms with an average occupancy rate of 52% for fiscal years 2013, 2014, and 2015. Average Occupancy Rate:  FY11 - 55.8%  FY12 - 55.1%  FY13 - 54.0%  FY14 - 49.1%  FY15 - 52.2% Revenues: FY17 assumes a 2% increase from FY16 Budget. Revenue projections are based on the fundamentals of fund sources as seasonality and large one-time payments can inject unpredictability into the revenues. Since FY11, the City's General Fund transferred funds to the Business and Industry Fund to prevent a negative fund balance. For FY17, that transfer has been discontinued. Expenditures: FY17 assumes the Business & Industry tax will fully support the expenditures and administration of the fund. The expenditures include the full contribution to Downtown Mainstreet Inc. and Lee's Summit Chamber of Commerce. Contribution to LS Economic Development Council has been restored to FY14 levels. The fund balance at year end is projected to be 44.4% of total expenditures.

SECTION 8: CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDS

Page 155 of 225


8: Capital Project Funds General

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS OVERVIEW A Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a major public infrastructure planning tool for many local governments. The CIP reflects the community’s assets, needs and goals, and is a statement of the City’s policies and projected financial ability to manage the physical development of the community. The development of a CIP matches information regarding planned public improvements with anticipated funding, and thus presents a systematic plan for providing the needed improvements within a prioritized framework. The City’s Charter mandates the development and annual review of a capital improvements plan and estimated operating and maintenance costs of the proposed improvements. The plan is formally adopted each year by the Planning Commission as part of the Comprehensive Plan. This approach addresses legal requirements for public hearings on the location, nature and extent of all projects. All costs identified for the first year of the plan are included in the City’s Operating Budget, which is adopted by the Mayor and City Council, for the upcoming fiscal year. The proposed five (5) year CIP for the City of Lee’s Summit sets the general schedule for which public improvements are proposed to be undertaken in that time frame. The CIP includes projects over $50,000 in total cost that are anticipated to be funded during the five-year period. Operating and maintenance expense information is provided for the first year of the plan when applicable. Annual maintenance programs, small projects and small planning studies, such as the street overlay program or system master plans, are typically included in the CIP as programs. A CIP is not a static document, but rather a fluid document that can be changed as the infrastructure requirements change, development occurs, and funding opportunities become available. The remaining four (4) years of the five-year plan represent all projects that are currently proposed for future funding based on the revenue projections. As priorities, needs and revenues change, projects may be added to or removed from the CIP. Estimated expenses and revenue projections are reviewed annually and adjusted if necessary to account for growth, inflation and other economic conditions. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROCESS DEFINITION A capital improvement is a necessary or desirable project that extends or improves infrastructure and enhances the City’s ability to provide safe and desirable services for the benefit of the community and the quality of life in Lee’s Summit. These projects directly affect the way citizens live, travel and conduct business within the community. IDENTIFICATION The need for capital improvements may be identified by an adopted infrastructure master plan, the desire to maintain certain levels and types of service provided in the community, by community groups, or by regulatory legislation. Projects are prioritized based on many factors including their impact on

City of Lee’s Summit Annual Budget FY17

Page 156 of 225


8: Capital Project Funds General

providing better city services, accommodating city growth, effect on maintenance and operation expenditures, and the overall health, safety and welfare of the citizens. CREATION The scope of a proposed project is often determined based on a preliminary study or recommendations from other city master plans. Once the project is identified a preliminary cost estimate and schedule for the design, right of way and easement acquisition, and construction of the project is prepared. These initial cost estimates are typically general in nature with considerable contingencies included. If the project is selected for inclusion in the CIP, the estimates and schedule are the basis of the initial project information.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN IMPLEMENTATION When a project on the CIP schedule is funded, it is assigned to a project manager who will assume oversight responsibilities. A number of steps are required before a project is complete. DESIGN The project manager will coordinate and participate in the selection process for an engineering or architectural design firm, as appropriate. Architectural and engineering services contracts, unlike commodities contracts, are awarded to firms strictly on the qualifications and expertise of the firm in the particular type of project. The project manager is responsible for negotiating a detailed scope and fee for the design services with the selected consultant. Design for some projects may be completed by City staff or awarded to consultants through annual on-call contracts. The design process is typically divided into several phases: concept and/or preliminary design, right-ofway plans, right-of-way appraisal and acquisition, and final design. Plans and cost estimates are prepared, either by the consultant or City staff, for review at least at these project milestones. If state or federal funding is involved, plans and estimates are also provided to the appropriate agency for review. As more refined information on project scope and cost is developed, the CIP document is revised accordingly during the next annual update. Occasionally, projects may be deferred or deleted from the plan based on information gathered during the design process that indicates significant problems with pursuing the project. Typically, one or more public meetings are held for major projects that have significant impacts on property owners and the public to obtain feedback and comments from the community. A meeting is often held at the completion of preliminary plans in order to let residents abutting the project know how the design will affect their properties. Comments made at the meetings are considered by City staff and the design firm for inclusion in revised plans, if appropriate, prior to appraisals and property acquisition. Other meetings may be held before any design is started and just before construction begins.

8: Capital Project Funds General

Right-of-way plans define the nature and extent of property required to complete a project. Property acquisition may be in the form of right-of-way, permanent easements or temporary construction easements. The City hires professional appraisers to determine fair market value of the acquisitions, which is the basis for initial offers to property owners. The City’s right-of-way agent and/or contract agents complete the negotiation and acquisition process for the projects. Once all property is acquired, final plans and specifications can be completed. During this time, any necessary relocation of private utilities (gas, phone, power) is also accomplished. Typically, all relocations are complete prior to bidding a capital project. ADVERTISEMENT, BID AND AWARD Capital projects are publicly advertised through the City’s Purchasing Division. City and consultant staff members evaluate all bids for completeness and correctness, and references for the low bidder are checked. Based on the review and references, the consultant or the City’s project manager makes a recommendation for award to the lowest and best bidder. The award of the construction contract is made by City Council. SCHEDULE The construction contract sets forth the required completion time for the project. Time is counted from the date of the “Notice to Proceed” to the point of substantial completion and final completion. The duration is determined by the design consultant and/or City staff based on the scope of work, seasonal constraints, coordination with property owners, and impacts on the traveling public. The order and duration of specific tasks within the allotted contract time is typically determined by the contractor. The assessment of liquidated damages is included in construction contracts for failure to meet required completion dates. CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION The City’s project manager for the design processor or a project manager from the construction management group is typically responsible for performing or coordinating project administration during construction. Such tasks generally include monitoring project progress, schedule and costs; coordinating and facilitating communications between the design consultant, inspections staff, contractor and City staff; negotiating and coordinating approval of changes in the project scope or cost; reviewing and approving regular progress payments; and reporting on the construction progress to City Council and the public through the City’s publications and website. Changes to the contract totaling up to five percent of the original bid price may be approved administratively by the appropriate Department Director. Changes that increase the cost in excess of that amount must be approved by the City Council. SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION Substantial completion is defined as the time at which the project has progressed to the point where it is sufficiently complete that it can be utilized for the intended purpose. At this time, a comprehensive

City of Lee’s Summit Annual Budget FY17

Page 158 of 225


8: Capital Project Funds General

inspection is performed by City staff and the design consultant to create a list of all incorrect or outstanding items (a “punch list”) remaining to be completed or corrected. The punch list items and all other deficiencies must be completed before final acceptance of the project by the City, and final payment to the contractor. FINAL ACCEPTANCE Final acceptance is realized when the contractor has completed all work on the project, including punch list items, has provided the City with a maintenance bond, and has submitted all other close-out documents in accordance with the construction contract. The project manager is responsible for preparing a final project report and submitting it to city and department management staff as well as to City Council. Any unspent funds authorized for a project will be returned to the appropriate funding source for reallocation to future projects.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN FUNDING Revenue Sources All funding sources that may be used for various capital improvements are reviewed each year. Much of the work to develop the CIP focuses on the balancing of available resources with the identified capital needs. Consideration must be given to factors such as annual revenue projections from various sources, restrictions on the uses of certain funds, legal limitations on debt capacity, and City policies relative to project funding. The following is a list of existing funding sources and definitions for each: TAXES Property Tax- Revenue from the ad valorem tax levied on all real and personal property, based upon the assessed valuation established by the County Assessor on January 1st of each year. Real property assessed valuation is determined by applying the “market value” times the appropriate assessment ratios. As follows: • • • •

Commercial/Industrial: 32% Residential: 19% Agricultural: 12% Personal Property assessed valuation is set at 33% of market value and is determined by the State Tax Commission.

Sales Tax- The City imposes a total sales tax of 2.25% (Capital Improvement: 0.50%, General fund: 1.0%, Parks and Recreation: 0.25%, Transportation: 0.50%) on all goods and commodities sold within the City limits with the exception of drugs and farm machinery. The tax is also levied on all vehicles registered by residents of the City, regardless of where those vehicles were purchased. Transportation tax is not

levied on utilities and is earmarked specifically for use in funding transportation projects only. The State of Missouri receives the tax from the respective business and distributes the funds monthly to the City. Parks & Recreation 1/4-Cent Sales Tax- Initially approved in November 1997 for 3/8-cent and renewed in February 2006 for ¼-cent, this revenue source is dedicated to Parks and Recreation improvements including completion of Legacy Park facilities, new park development, the Senior Center, and greenway development. Transportation ½-Cent Sales Tax- Approved initially in the 1980s, this tax is available to pay for transportation and traffic infrastructure improvements and major maintenance, such as overlay and slurry seal, curb and gutter replacement, crack sealing and pavement marking. This sales tax also provides funding for several other Public Works Programs including bridge rehabilitation, thoroughfare and traffic master plan studies, community bus services and the Neighborhood Traffic Safety Program. Capital Improvement ½-Cent Sales Tax- Originally approved in November 1997, this tax has been used in conjunction with the Road Excise tax to fund road improvements related to the “10-year road plan” adopted in 1997. The sales tax was renewed in April 2007 with collection beginning in 2008 and ending in 2018. This renewal of the sales tax will fund a second “10-year road plan” comprising 6 major projects. Road Excise Tax- Excise Tax is paid for development that generates new traffic in the City in the form of a license tax on building contractors. This revenue source is available for road improvements throughout the City that are required due to growth to at least some degree. The excise tax will continue to be used for the remaining projects from the first 10-year plan until it is complete. Transportation Development Districts A geographic area may be designated to levy an additional sales or property tax assessment to pay for transportation related infrastructure improvements.

Tax Increment Financing Provides for the capture of 50% of the Economic Activity Taxes (Sales and Franchise) generated within the boundaries of a designated area to be used to finance infrastructure improvements. All of the incremental increases in real estate taxes are also captured from all taxing jurisdictions until the infrastructure is paid off. BOND PROCEEDS General Obligation (G.O.) Bonds- Bonds which are backed by the full faith and credit of the City and require either a 2/3rds or 4/7ths voter approval. Limitations for bonding capacity are set by state statute. Revenue Bonds- Bonds which are backed by the fees and charges of a business-like government function, payable only from a specific source of revenue. Simple majority voter approval required.

City of Lee’s Summit Annual Budget FY17

Page 160 of 225


8: Capital Project Funds General

Limitations for bonding capacity are not set by state statute but rather the entity’s ability to repay the debt. Certificates of Participation- Bonds which are backed by general revenues or fees and charges of a government. No voter approval is required. Limitations for bonding capacity are determined by the market and the entity’s ability to repay the debt. Special Obligation Bonds- Bonds which are backed by general revenues or fees and charges of a government. No voter approval is required. Limitations for bonding capacity are determined by the market and the entity’s ability to repay.

GRANT FUNDING Grants may be received from federal, state or county governments. Grants are typically available for transportation, airport improvements, parks, and public safety equipment. The City also receives community development block grants (CDBG) for use in low-to-moderate income areas within the community. Equipment purchases and CDBG projects are not included in the CIP. FEES AND CHARGES Fees for direct receipt of public service by the parties who benefit from the service Landfill Tipping and Yard Waste Disposal Fees- Collected by Public Works Solid Waste Division for disposal of refuse or yard waste at the Resource Recovery Park. Parks and Recreation Activity Fees- Collected by Parks & Recreation Department for participation in various sports and recreation programs, aquatic instruction, and the Camp Summit and Club Summit daycare programs at the Recreation Center. Recreation Memberships- Membership fees collected for the Lee’s Summit Pool and the Legacy Park Community Center. Water Sales- Charges for supplying water to residential, commercial, industrial and wholesale customers. Sewer Charges- Charges for providing wastewater collection and disposal services to residential, commercial and industrial customers. Sewer Tap- The charge for a new sanitary sewer connection based on the number of drains in a structure and assessed at the time of building permit issuance. Water Taps- The charge for a new water service connection based on the size of water meter required. Also included in the water tap fee is an amount which is intended to provide capital for the development of the City’s water transmission capacity. City of Lee’s Summit Annual Budget FY17

General 8: Capital Project Funds

CIP IMPACT ON OPERATING BUDGET As part of the Capital Improvement Plan, the impact of each project on the City’s operating budget is identified. As capital improvement projects are completed, operation and maintenance of these facilities must be absorbed into the appropriate department operating budget, which provides ongoing services to citizens. These operating costs, which may include salaries, equipment, regular maintenance, and repairs, are adjusted annually to accommodate growth and inflation in maintaining or improving service levels. In some cases, elimination of high-maintenance facilities may also reduce these operating costs. It is the City of Lee’s Summit’s philosophy that new projects should not be constructed if operating revenues are unavailable to cover the operating costs. These must be funded with recurring (ongoing) revenues. As a result, the availability of recurring revenues must be considered in the decision to include projects in the plan. The 2017-2021 CIP totals $303,968,000 (including funding from prior years), up from $284,700,000 in the 2016-2020 plan. The increase in the total is due primarily to the reallocation of unallocated reserves from excess funding that pooled as a result of improved economic conditions and a favorable bidding climate. Significant changes to the CIP include:

9: Proprietary Funds General

PROPRIETARY FUNDS Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations that provide a service to the general public and are financed primarily by a user charge for the provision of such service. The city operates four enterprises: the Water/Sewer Utility, the Municipal Airport, the Sanitary Landfill, and the Recreation Center. Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods or services provided by one department to other departments of the City on a cost-reimbursement basis. The City has seven Internal Service Funds. The Central Vehicle Maintenance Fund and Management Information Systems Funds were established to provide replacement vehicles and data processing equipment and the related maintenance services to the various City departments. Unemployment Insurance Fund, Insurance Reserve Trust Fund, Short Term Disability, and Worker’s Compensation Self Insurance Fund were established to account for the City provided employee benefits. New in Fiscal Year 2007-2008 is the Central Building Services Fund. This fund will provide funding for capital maintenance projects. The City utilizes Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (GAAP) based budgeting for these funds. This requires that the full accrual method be used to record revenues and expenditures. This presentation records long-term assets and liabilities, and recognizes revenues and expenses when transactions occur.

9: Proprietary Funds

CENTRAL BUILDING SERVICES Central Building Services (CBS) is an internal services fund comprised of five service functions: Capital Project Management Services, Building Maintenance Services, Custodial Services, Utilities and General Services including the Building Equipment Replacement Program (BERP). The City Architect manages CBS. Capital Project Management Services focuses on new building project development such as the new Indoor Firing Range/Training Facility for the Police Department, as well as building or site renovation projects such as the renovation of the Police Department Detention Facility. The City Architect dedicates 75% of his time to provide design and construction oversight, while assisting the responsible department’s project team from concept through completion. The Building Maintenance Services staff includes 25% of the City Architects time as well as 2.25 FTEs. One staff member is a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) technician. The services provided include routine maintenance, scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, repairs and general upkeep of facilities throughout the City. Specifically, they are responsible for maintaining City Hall, City Hall Parking Garage, all City fire stations, Animal Control, Public Works Maintenance Facility, Arnold Hall, Amtrak Station and downtown restrooms. Most maintenance related on-call contracts are administered as part of the services provided and includes elevator inspections, fire alarm inspections, window washing and carpet cleaning. Duty hours are from 6:30 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday. The Custodial Services staff includes 5.5 FTEs. The services typically include custodial and janitorial duties including floor care, trash disposal, recycling and detail cleaning of staff offices, restrooms and public spaces. Outside duties include snow and trash removal. 3 FTEs are assigned to City Hall/Parking Garage who work 3rd shift hours from 11:00 PM to 7:30 AM, Sunday night through Thursday night. 1 FTE is also assigned to City Hall/Parking Garage and 1 FTE is assigned to the Public Works Maintenance Facility and Animal Control working from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday through Friday. 0.5 FTE is assigned to Fire Headquarters and the Municipal Court and works from 5:00AM to 9:00 AM.

9: Proprietary Funds FLEET OPERATIONS FUND The Fleet Operations Fund is an Internal Service Fund. Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing on cost-reimbursement basis of goods or services provided by one department to other departments within the same governmental organization. The Fleet Operations Fund is comprised of two parts, first the Vehicle Replacement Fund (VERP) which provides motor vehicle fleet replacement services to the various City departments. All City motor vehicles are now owned by this fund. The departments then leases or rent their vehicles at a rate that will provide funds for the replacement of that particular piece of equipment at a scheduled future date. By charging a yearly rate with a technology multiplier, over the life of the equipment, this system enables the City to replace vehicles within efficient lifecycle time frame and not just when funds are available. This will provide all Departments with safe and efficient vehicles throughout the fiscal year while maintaining a steady yearly payment at much lower rates than direct replacement cost. The fund also allows for the ability to capture new technology allowing for lower fuel cost and reduced emissions output. The second part of the Fleet Operations Fund is the Overhead, this fund is comprised of cost for the daily operation which provides twenty four hour service to all using departments, Fleet Operations provides all maintenance and repairs to over four hundred pieces of equipment, and our mission is to provide the best service and staff by partnering with departments and vendors to effectively monitor and ensure the most cost effective repair and replacement of vehicles and equipment. With effectively monitoring repairs and maintenance schedules the Fleet Division is committed to providing the most cost effective service while recognizing the value of the ever changing field and capitalizing on changing technology. The overhead fund is provided by charging a weighted percentage of operational overhead costs based on a three year average of the work order hours generated by the using department. The established maintenance program has also yielded longer useful life and higher resale values.

9: Proprietary Funds Water Utilities The Water Utilities Department serves over 35,000 customers. The total water supply has increased to 27.5 million gallons per day (MGD) with the completion of the third phase of the Jackson Cass Transmission Main with Kansas City. Lee’s Summit has contractual supply of 21 MGD from the City of Kansas City, Missouri and 7.5 MGD from the City of Independence, Missouri. Water demands increased considerably in the summer of 2012 due to hot and dry weather conditions. Water restrictions were enacted due to the failure of one of the major connections with Kansas City in July. Customer cooperation to alternate irrigation schedules allowed for storage levels to reach stable conditions and allowed for restrictions to be lifted. The City of Lee’s Summit and Little Blue Valley Sewer District have a contractual agreement for ongoing treatment and pumping within the Little Blue Valley drainage basin to accommodate existing and future customers within Lee's Summit. In order to maximize capacity of the sanitary sewer system, Water Utilities continues to focus on Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) reduction programs. The Water Utilities Department completed a Strategic Plan for the Utility in December of 2011, which was the result of a comprehensive assessment and strategic planning process involving the Utility’s stakeholders. The Plan specifically addressed a need to improve customer understanding and relations; to develop a program for the renewal of existing aged infrastructure; to establish appropriate policies to address financial challenges; and to proactively address long-term needs to ensure a sustainable utility. The Plan will also position the utility to be responsive to the impact of regulatory and economic factors that are affecting the utility today and in for the foreseeable future. In 2012 the Utility began implementing the Plan’s recommendations; the establishment of the Water Utilities Advisory Board to ensure customer input on the direction of the Utility; an online customer account system that offers eBilling and more details about their monthly bills; a new position to focus on community relations; and a financial plan including a rate schedule to support a sustainable utility.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT FUND The Solid Waste Management Fund accounts for revenues and expenses related to the City's Resource Recovery Park; however, FY17 is the first full year that a private contractor has operated the landfill. Due to the contract for services, revenues and expenses have changed drastically from the previous fiscal years. The Resource Recovery Park (RRP), which operates on a six-day per week schedule, encompasses an area of approximately 275 acres including a 80 acre sanitary landfill, a four acre yard waste composting facility, and a Household Hazardous Waste disposal area. The entire facility is now operated by a private contractor. An additional 80 acres of the site is set aside as a soil borrow area. The City’s two recycling centers, one at the RRP and one near the Airport, both closed in Feb. 2016. A Solid Waste Superintendent is the only staff member for the Solid Waste Division of the Public Works Department. This staff member is responsible for oversight of the contract for operations of the landfill, customer service related to solid waste issues, and eventually closure of the site and post-closure maintenance of the landfill. Revenue is tied to the contract for operations, which took effect March 1, 2016. The Solid Waste Fund receives $50,000 per month for 24 months for closure/post-closure accrual payments. The Fund also receives $75,000 per year for two years to cover costs of having a Solid Waste employee provide oversight of the contractor. A nominal $2,000 per year is also paid by the contractor for the lease of personal property on site. In accordance with GAAP based budgeting, the Solid Waste Management Fund is reported as an enterprise fund. The non-cash expense of depreciation/depletion is recorded to show how much of the facility has been consumed. Although capital outlay and bond principal redemption is a reallocation of current assets, amounts for these appear in this budget for informational and cash flow purposes only. The plan approved by the voters and City Council in 1994 provided for a 20-year life expectancy at 350 tons per day while maintaining suitable revenues sufficient to offset expenses. The sanitary landfill complies with applicable Federal Environmental Protection Agency and Missouri Department of Natural Resources regulations relating to closure/post closure.

9: Proprietary Funds AIRPORT FUND The Airport Operating Fund is an enterprise fund that accounts for all revenues and expenses related to the municipally owned airport. The Lee's Summit Municipal Airport is designated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as a reliever airport for the Kansas City metropolitan area and as such is designed to reduce congestion at larger air carrier airports by providing general aviation pilots with alternate landing facilities. It is further classified as a general aviation utility airport serving planes with gross weights of less than 30,000 lbs. and landing speeds less than 121 knots. The airport is equipped with two runways: a 4,016 ft North/South (18-36), and a 3,800 ft Crosswind (11-29). Following recommendation in the 2010 adopted Airport Business Plan the City has initiated an engineering contract for services to provide the design work for the first phase of development involving the grading for a 1,285-foot extension to the south. This work is being performed with the assistance of federal and state aviation grants. In conjunction with the completed Preliminary Development Plan (PDP) for the eastside terminal area city staff has continued to work with several parties interested in developing facilities in this area. Airport fund revenues are generated through the sale of aviation fuel, navigational charts and pilot supplies, the leasing of 75 tie-down spaces, 40 open T-hangar spaces and 113 enclosed hangar spaces and six ground leases for privately owned hangars. Outstanding debt consists of an inter-fund loan from the General Fund. The inter-fund loan was used to refund prior debt issues that were at significantly higher interest rates. This inter-fund loan is being repaid on a monthly basis over the next five years at a fixed interest rate of 1%. The Airport Fund is accounted for as enterprise fund and utilizes Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) based budgeting. This requires that the accrual basis of accounting method is used to record revenues and expenditures. Although capital outlay and bond principal redemption is a reallocation of current assets, amounts for these transactions appear in this budget for informational and cash flow purposes only.

The Claims and Damages Reserve Fund accounts for expenses associated with liability and property claims. Claims from all City departments up to the City’s self insured retention of $50,000 per occurrence are paid from the fund. Funding is determined through loss history to cover anticipated claims and damages expenses each budget year. City departments contribute a baseline amount of $5,000 to the fund annually, which accounts for $75,000. The remaining amount, currently established at $75,000, is funded through claims history analysis. Each department with claims history for the past three years is assigned a pro-rata share of the remaining $75,000. This method assures contribution from all City departments while assessing risk costs appropriately based on actual losses incurred.

This fund was established to account for the monies necessary to self-insure the City's Workers Compensation claims. In January 2011, an actuarial analysis identified the following: - Self-insured retentions (beginning fund balance): FY 13-14 $643,918 (discounted reserves at 90% confidence, Bornhuetter-Ferguson technique*); - Funding (total revenues); discounted funding at 90% confidence); FY 12-13 $789,652; FY13-14 $649,616; FY14-15 $675,795; FY15-16 $904,402; FY2016-17 $951,167 The continuing efforts to reduce frequency of claims and contain claim costs through negotiated discounts on medical expenses and using modified duty return to work resulted in lower overall damages and claims expense.Included in expenses is a line item for prior year claim expense. Professional Fees and Administrative Costs include state-required third party administrative fees and expenses for the discounted medical health provider network. The Insurance expense line includes the state required Self-Insurer Bond, Excess Insurance coverage Premium, Worker's Comp Tax and the 2nd Injury Fund Surcharge. Funding for upcoming and each year premiums (amounts assessed to departmental budgets) are adjusted to bring the fund balance in line with the projected retentions. Premium amount is divided into departments based on prior year's percentage of use. Premiums for fiscal year 2011-2012 increased $49,478 from the fiscal year 2010-2011 budget. No premium increase was budgeted for fiscal year 2012-2013. Interest revenues have been estimated at an average rate of 1% for Fiscal Year 2012 and .75% for fiscal year 2013. Beginning in FY15, Workers Compensation budget amounts were calculated to recover all projected costs. This was done to maintain the current fund balance and reserves. *Bornhuetter-Ferguson technique estimates ultimate losses using a combination of expected losses (payroll x expected loss cost) and loss development techniques

SECTION 10: DEBT SERVICE FUNDS

Page 203 of 225


10: Debt Service Funds General

DEBT SERVICE FUNDS The city utilizes three funds to record the receipt and disbursement of monies used to repay principal and interest charges on city issued debt. The following are the three funds used to record this activity: General Obligation Bonds, Northeast Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District Infrastructure Improvement Bonds, and Park Certificate of Participation (COP) Debt Fund. The General Obligation Debt Service Fund is used to account for the annual retirement of bonds issued from 2003 through 2010. Expenditures from this fund include the payment of interest and fiscal agent charges plus the scheduled repayment of the principal balance. The ad valorem tax on real and personal property provides the primary source of revenue to make these semiannual payments. Interest income on investments of the reserve amounts provides the remainder of revenue. The Park COP Debt Service Fund was established to account for the issuance of COPs related to Legacy Park, the Greenway Project, and the Senior Center. This fund receives the revenues generated by the one-fourth cent "Parks & Soils" sales tax. The Northeast Tax Increment Financing District Fund is where incremental property taxes (related to the improvements made on the property after the TIF district was formed) received on the designated parcels within the TIF district are used to make principal and interest payments on the city’s debt issued to construct streets and sanitary sewers in the district. The basis of accounting is the same for both budgeting and GAAP reporting purposes. This requires that the modified accrual method bases, with the revenues being recorded when measurable and available, and expenditures being recorded when the liability is incurred. Revenues susceptible to accrual are sales taxes, economic activity taxes, property taxes and interest revenue.

The General Obligation Debt Service Fund is used to account for the annual debt service on General Obligation (GO) bonds issued by the City. Expenditures from the fund include the payment of interest and fiscal agent charges plus the scheduled repayment of the principal balance. The ad valorem tax on Real and Personal Property provides the primary source of revenue to make these annual payments. Interest income on the reserve amounts provides the remainder of revenue. $5,000,000 of debt was issued in both December 2009 and December 2010. Additional debt issuance is anticipated in FY 2011-12 as authorized in the November 2007 election. $10,075,000 in bonds authorized but not yet issued will be issued over the next 2 years (not included in the above projections). $37.4 million of new bonds were authorized on November 2, 2010 and are anticipated to be issued over the next 3 years (also not included in the above projections). In April 2013, voters approved a $7.5m bond issue for a cultural arts campus and downtown street improvements. In FY17, a no tax increase bond election has been scheduled for the November election which, if approved, would authorize a debt issuance of approximately $14.5m to fund public safety improvements. This would include replacement of Fire Station #3, an upgrade of the Public Safety radio system, and interconnectivity between City facilities. Interest Revenue has been calculated at an annual rate of 1% for Fiscal Year 2013-14 and .5% for 2014-15.

The Park Certificate of Participation (COP) Debt Service Fund was established to account for the issuance of debt related to the acquisition of land and development of Legacy Park and Greenway Projects. This fund receives the revenues generated by the 1/4 cent "Parks & Soils" sales tax. This sales tax was reduced from 3/8 cent to 1/4 cent in April 2008 as approved by the voters. In 2006, the City issued debt relating to the new plan for the parks system, "Legacy for Tomorrow and Beyond." The amount of money required for debt service on the 2006 COPs during the current fiscal year is retained in this fund, and monies in excess of that amount may be transferred to the city park construction funds. Interest earnings are calculated at 1% for Fiscal Year 2013-14 and .5% for 2016-17, based on the retention in this fund of only the monies required for the current year's debt service with all additional amounts being transferred to the Gamber Center Fund 201.
