overview

OVERVIEW

2013 Outlook The same revenue trends that we saw in 2012 are continuing through the first quarter of 2013. Sales tax receipts are 7.67% higher than the first quarter of 2012. Grocery store and general department store receipts, the two largest categories of sales tax, continue to increase over prior year receipts. Another growing sector of sales tax includes the fast food, fast casual and restaurant categories, all of which are still showing increases. The one lagging category that we saw in 2012 was sales tax from public utilities. Although we have experienced a dry winter, a few weeks of cold weather caused a 1.75% increase in this source of sales tax. This source of sales tax is impacted by the weather and temperatures in summer and the first part of the winter. We are also experiencing growth in building and auto-use tax. While one quarter certainly does not constitute a trend for 2013, the results are positive and speak to a growing economy. Water revenues in the first quarter increased slightly from 2012 as many customers started watering due to a dry winter through March. As we approach the summer months, there are concerns of reduced water consumption as Denver Water declared mandatory water restrictions and temporary drought surcharges from April through September. Because the City obtains most of its water from Denver Water, we must adopt equivalent water restrictions that Denver Water imposes on its Denver customers. This will result in reduced water revenues during the summer months. We will look at reducing expenditures to offset the reduction in revenues. However, a majority of these are necessary to maintain the water system regardless of the amount of water used by our customers. The City’s other two utilities, Wastewater and Stormwater, are operating within the budget. Tap fee revenues in Wastewater are outpacing 2012 revenues as we continue to see growth in housing. Expenditures are slightly ahead of last year as the timing of the main replacement project is ahead of last year. Stormwater revenues should be on pace with 2012 as there was no change in the stormwater fee. The Stormwater Fund will see a major capital expenditure of over $5 million in 2013 related to the completion of the Garrison Street Bridge and channelization project. It is still very early to predict how the Golf Fund will fare in 2013. Both golf and restaurant revenues are down compared to first quarter 2012. This decrease can be attributed to the abnormally warm winter in 2012 compared to a cooler and wetter winter in 2013. Restaurant revenues are down due to the remodeling at both West Woods and Lake Arbor, which necessitated closures at both restaurants, with West Woods’ restaurant closure lasting three weeks. Hospitality Services is off to a slower start than in 2012; however staff is able to reduce expenditures when the level of bookings decreases. There are also planned capital replacement projects this year which will close the facility for one month, and which will have an effect on revenues. The established rates for the internal service funds are sufficient to cover expenditures and planned replacements in these funds. The transfers in these funds are at 2012 levels. Major replacements for 2013 include the computer–aided dispatch management system, desktop/laptop computer replacement, mobile data systems for police vehicles, a new street sweeper, and the second order of new Ford Interceptors. Again, it is very early in the year to predict the financial results of 2013. However, the positive trends in revenue appear to be continuing in an encouraging manner.

general fund General Fund Overview The General Fund pays for the City’s basic services. This includes police, street maintenance, planning, transportation planning, street light maintenance and costs, building activity and general administration. In addition, the General Fund also provides for the following: • Operational support to the Arvada Center • Operational support to the Parks Fund • General Debt Service payments • Transfer to the Capital Improvements Fund for new parks, transportation and other infrastructure projects The following table provides a comparison of budgeted cash balances, revenues and expenditures to budget and prior year amounts in the same areas. As the table illustrates, we began the year with $22,965,000 in cash reserves. Of this amount, $3,680,903 was reserved for projects that were started in 2012 but not scheduled to be completed until 2013 (carryover items). In addition, since expenditures of $68,866,754 exceeded revenues of $67,932,479, Council made a decision in 2012 to use $934,275 of cash reserves to balance the 2013 budget. Details of the carryover items will be shown in the mid-year report as approval of the carryover items did not occur until after the close of the first quarter.

2013 Expenditures Income/Loss Ending Fund Balance

In general, revenues are in line with the budget estimates for the majority of revenue categories. The major revenue categories of sales tax, use tax, property tax and intergovernmental revenues are discussed in more detail in the “Revenue Highlights” section. The investment report at the end of this report will provide details of the City’s investments. Investment revenue will most likely be short of budget because of the current investment environment which is not expected to improve in 2013.

Expenditures in 2013 are slightly less than expenditures in 2012. This is due to the one-time transfer of $500,000 to AEDA made in 2012. If the transfer is removed, expenditures are 3.1% more in 2013 than in 2012. This increase is expected as personnel-related expenditures were budgeted to increase 3.9% as a result of step and market increases and non-personnel related expenditures increased an average of 3%.

Revenue Highlights The following section highlights the sources generated to meet the operating expenditures of the General Fund. The City’s revenues come from many sources as illustrated in the graph below. Sales tax, use tax, property tax and intergovernmental revenues are the largest sources of revenue and are detailed in the next few pages. The remaining revenue sources consist of building permits, utility fees, fees we receive from other funds for general services, fees and fines, and miscellaneous revenues.

Sales Tax SALES TAX COLLECTIONS

Sales tax collections in 2013 are continuing the upward trend from 2012. The graph below shows actual sales tax collections. Sales tax collections lag one month; therefore, the first quarter collections represent sales tax collections for two months. Sales tax receipts for the first quarter in 2013 are 7.67% above 2012 actuals.

$7,000,000 $6,000,000 $5,000,000 $4,000,000 $3,000,000 $2,000,000 $1,000,000 $0

03/31/2012 $5,620,783

03/31/2013 $6,051,902

Budgeted sales tax collections for 2013 represented a 3% increase over the 2012 budget. Because of increased sales tax collections in 2012, 2013 budgeted sales tax of $35,589,702 represents a 1.7% over 2012 actuals. As the next ten-year financial plan is reviewed, future sales tax will be revised to reflect the 2012 actual collections.

Use Tax The City has three prime use tax types: general, building and automobile. These are taxes paid in lieu of sales tax on purchases.

USE TAX COLLECTIONS $1,800,000

For the first two months of 2013, general use tax is showing a 4.2% increase over 2012 first quarter collections. Building use tax for 2013 is at $764,557 which is a 54.7% increase over 2012 first quarter collections. We expect building use tax to exceed budget estimates in 2013 as the ten-year financial plan anticipated growth, but not as quickly as we have seen in the last 16 months. The 2013 budget for use tax is $7,647,510.

Consumers continue to purchase vehicles. Auto use tax collections are showing a 15.2% increase over the previous year.

Property Tax The City’s property tax rate is 4.31 mills per $100 of valuation. In Colorado, the mill is placed on the assessed valuation. The graph illustrates the collections for the past five years and the first three months of 2013.

PROPERTY TAX COLLECTIONS $2,000,000

$1,500,000

Property tax is a stable revenue source for the City. Currently, property tax receipts are $112,000 below first quarter 2012 receipts.

Intergovernmental Revenues This category is made up of two revenue sources, Highway Users Trust Fund (HUTF), which is the City’s share of State collected gas tax revenue, and Road and Bridge, which is the City’s share of property tax collected by Jefferson County and dedicated to the maintenance of roads and bridges. Combined, these revenues have averaged a little over $4.5 million in the past five years and are budgeted for $4.7 million in 2013. Road and Bridge funds are disbursed a couple months after collection, so we will not receive January’s revenue until early April. HUTF funds are disbursed the month after they are collected, so the graph represents two months’ revenue.

performance production was on track to match or exceed the 2012 PHAMALY production; however, a sold-out performance was canceled due to the weather. The cancellation resulted in approximately $12,000 refunded to patrons. The production still made net positive revenue, but did not meet previous results or current-year expectations. The other production in the Black Box, and part of our subscription series, was Blithe Spirit. The play performed well, meeting projections and garnering critical acclaim. AC Presents is down a little over $75,000 compared to 2012. Lone Tree had made a down payment in the first quarter of 2012 of $50,000 for their presentation of Chess. Revenues from Education classes are up $10,000 from last year. This growth is primarily due to a tuition increase. This is the second year the Center successfully offered Spring Break camps. With the recovering economy, SCFD revenue collections increased in 2012. This growth will result in an increase in the SCFD contribution to the Center for 2013. The amount for the first quarter was an increase of $35,000, or 12% over the 2012 contribution.

Expense Highlights Revenue Highlights First quarter results at the Arvada Center have been positive overall. Ticket sales had an overall increase of $57,000 or 10.62% from last year. This increase is mainly due to the success of Man Of LaMancha, the spring musical. The show exceeded sales projections significantly and will also contribute some revenue to the second quarter. Two other theater productions took place in the first quarter. The first was “The Foreigner� presented by PHAMALY in partnership with the Arvada Center. This three-

Overall, expenses are tracking upward, with most of the increase related to Payroll and Benefits. Historically, expenses are not out of line in the first quarter of the year. Previous experience shows that expenses can easily ratchet up in the third and fourth quarters. Therefore, the Center is taking a proactive approach and addressing issues related to show costs and personnel expenses now.

Revenue Highlights Jefferson County Open Space receipts, which represent the largest source of revenue for the Parks Fund, continue to trend up nearly 4.5% over 2012 during the same period. However, year-to-date receipts reflect only one month of revenue as this revenue source lags by two months.

Expenditure Highlights An approximately 4% decrease in personnel expenditures was offset by increases in professional services and internal service fund contributions, resulting in a year-to-date increase of 1.59%.

special revenue funds SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS

Special Revenue Funds Overview Special Revenue Funds account for revenues that are to be used for specific purposes. The following are considered special revenue funds: • Tax Increment Funds • Community Development • Housing

Tax Increment Funds Overview There are two tax increment funds which account for the voterapproved sales tax increases to fund expanded police services. The first fund accounts for the .21 cent sales tax for police services and the second accounts for the .25 cent sales tax. Sources in the tax increment fund include sales tax, general use tax, auto use tax, building use and interest income. Since the tax increment is in addition to the City’s 3% sales tax, the revenue trends in the tax increment fund will closely follow those in the general fund.

capital improvement CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND

Capital Improvement Fund Overview The Capital Improvement Fund is where the City keeps track of capital projects for streets, traffic, parks, and the Arvada Center.

Revenue Highlights In 2013, the majority of the revenue in the CIP Fund consists of transfers from the General Fund, Risk Management Fund and Lands Dedicated Fund. Other revenues include park development fees, grant revenue and contributions from other governmental agencies.

Expenditure Highlights The guiding principles for the City’s CIP Fund are identified as: • Taking Lasting Care • Building Our Base • Investing for the Future There are many CIP projects which fall into the Taking Lasting Care category. The City sets aside monies to replace or renovate the current infrastructure. The projects for 2013 include collector street improvements, ADA ramps, intersection safety improvements, signal replacement, playground renovation, trail renovation and tree replacement. In 2011, the City purchased two large parcels for the South Central Park (to be named Griffith Station Park) and East Arvada Park (to be called Britton Park). In 2013 we will begin construction of these parks which will be Building our Base. In 2013, we are appropriating over $12 million for the transit-oriented development (TOD) projects along the Gold Line rail project. Although most of the monies will not be spent in 2013, planning for this project must be started now to allow sufficient time for design and construction by opening day in 2016. The City, the Arvada Urban Renewal Authority (AURA) and the Regional Transportation District (RTD) are jointly issuing a request for proposal to develop the eight-acre site for the Olde Town station. This is one example of Investing for the Future.

Year-to-date revenue from water sales is up by 4.8 %, with consumption up 2.8% over the same period in 2012. However, we do not anticipate this trend to continue with mandatory water restrictions and the five snow storms in April. The spike in Other Revenues is due to a payment received from the Jefferson Center Metropolitan District (JCMD).

Both Golf Course and Restaurant revenues were down considerably compared to the first quarter 2012, respectively 31% and 11%. Weather played a substantial role in comparing March 2012 to 2013. March 2012 is the anomaly due to a record lack of precipitation, while March 2013 was both cooler and wetter. Playable days were down 62% at West Woods and down 52% at Lake Arbor. Cottonwood 9 at West Woods was closed all three months to accommodate a ditch company siphon project. As for the Restaurants, West Woods, which generates a vast majority of total Restaurant revenue, lost three weeks of business due to closure for remodeling. The Lake Arbor Restaurant was closed for remodeling, as well, but for a lesser period of time.

Transfer to General Fund Total Expenditures Income/(Loss) Ending Fund Balance

Banquet and conference-related revenue saw a decline of 9.55% in comparison to 2012. This variance is due to the number of organizations responding to internal scheduling conflicts or the need to rotate demographically for their organization. This shortfall is anticipated to level out in April as anticipated revenue in April has increased approximately $38,000 over 2012.

Revenue Highlights

Total actual expenditures decreased from first quarter 2012 by 16.25%. The transfer to General Fund monies reflect the biggest portion of this percentage. However, expenditures are expected to increase in 2013 due to the capital replacement projects which will close the facility for one month in 2013.

The Insurance Fund, administered by the Risk Management Division of Finance, provides the means by which the City self-insures against loss. It is funded with contributions by all City divisions based on their levels and types of exposure. The Fund is also used for programs for loss prevention, the protection of City personnel and the preservation of City property and assets.

Revenue Highlights Due to continuing trends of relatively low claims costs and an effective focus on safety, charges to participating funds were reduced by nearly 13% for 2013.

Expenditure Highlights The apparent spike in Administration costs is due to purchase orders for renewals of the City’s insurance coverages being created in March instead of April. Of note, the RM Administration budget includes a $573,500 transfer to the Capital Projects Fund for three safety-related projects in 2013: video security, front entry repair and exterior lighting improvements at the Arvada Center. *Per GASB Statement 10, an additional $935,705 in cash is currently held in the Risk Management Fund to cover potentially incurred liabilities as of the beginning of the year. This figure was reached by Risk Management’s actuary.

The Computer Fund provides resources for both the ongoing maintenance and replacement of the City’s computers, network hardware and other electronic infrastructure. It is funded with contributions by all City divisions based on their levels of use of information technology. The Print Shop Fund provides ongoing capital support for the City’s printing needs.

Revenue Highlights Computer Maintenance and Replacement contributions by participating Funds remain at 2012 levels. Recovered costs associated with CAD maintenance are reflected in the Replacement revenue increase.

Expenditure Highlights The substantial drop in Replacement expenditures is due to the bulk of phone system replacement expenditures having been made in the first quarter of 2012. Major projects for the remainder of 2013 include computer-aided dispatch management system , budget software replacement and desktop/laptop computer replacement, as well as mobile data systems for police vehicles.

Overview The Vehicles Fund provides resources for the maintenance of City vehicles and heavy equipment, as well as their replacement when various factors demand their retirement. It is funded with contributions by all City divisions based on their vehicle inventory and use.

Revenue Highlights Charges for Fleet Maintenance services, which include personnel costs, rose 3% over 2012 levels. Increases for Vehicle Maintenance transfers for some, but not all, divisions net to a rise of 1.8%.

Expenditure Highlights A large piece of the increase in Maintenance expenditures stems from the timing of an annual payment for the FASTER electronic fleet management system. The decrease in Replacement reflects the timing of a 2012 purchase order for the acquisition of new Ford Police Interceptors. Among this year’s acquisitions will be a new street sweeper.

The primary types of infrastructure are HVAC equipment, parking lots, roofs, and carpet. It is funded with contributions by all City divisions based on their facility occupancy.

Revenue Highlights Monthly replacement charges from contributing funds remain at 2012 levels.

Expenditure Highlights The Capital Lease expenditures represent payments per an agreement with Siemens Building Technologies in 2004 for energy efficiency improvements at various City facilities. Among the projects funded in 2013 is the floor replacement for the gallery at the Arvada Center, which was converted to concrete in lieu of replacing the existing carpet.

investment report

CITY OF ARVADA INVESTMENT REPORT

Investment Portfolio Objectives Pursuant to the City’s investment policy, the primary objectives of the City’s investment activities, in priority order, are safety, liquidity and yield. Consistent with this policy, the portfolio of securities is invested in US Treasuries, US Agency debt, local government investment pools (LGIP’s), commercial paper, and corporate debt subject to rating and concentration limits. The City’s investment portfolio is managed to provide sufficient liquidity to meet all reasonably anticipated operating cash needs without selling securities prior to maturity.

Investment Portfolio Performance The portfolio saw a first quarter 2013 yield of .548% which is a decrease of 33bps when compared to the first quarter 2012 yield of .878%. The benchmark yield for the City’s portfolio, as established by the investment policy, is a weighted benchmark of allowable securities. For the first quarter, the weighted benchmark return was .37 percent, constructed using the average 2013 monthly returns. The City’s portfolio yield continued to decline from the previous rolling four quarters, as evidenced by the considerable reduction in investment income and the unfavorable reinvestment environment. One contributing factor to these performance results is that the Fed has left rates at very low levels. The discount rate remains at .25 percent and the Fed has announced that we will continue to experience these rates most likely into 2015. The Federal Reserve will keep rates unchanged until the dynamics of our economy significantly change. The portfolio saw $19 million in investment calls during the first quarter due to the expiration of call “lockout” periods. These calls resulted in reinvestment in lower-yielding securities, which contributes to the reduction in investment income. An indirect benefit to the Arvada portfolio has been the capital appreciation that has been attained in this time, although this is considered as “paper gains” and has no profound effect on the yield we use to benchmark. The gain during the first quarter of 2013 was $242,231. Key information regarding the City’s portfolio is shown in the tables and graphs below:

Investment Management Focus - 2013 2013 continues to be a struggle for the capital markets. We will continue to monitor the two items of focus we have highlighted below. Diversification of Maturities: We will continue to keep LGIP balances at levels to meet operating needs to capture attractive interest rates. We will focus on a blended strategy which calls for emphasis in short-term positions as well as long-term positions (5 years in the City’s case), but also staggering maturities in between to smooth the revenue stream. This will allow the ample cash should the City experience unexpected needs, allow us to take advantage of better coupons in longer maturity buckets and the ability to capitalize on investment opportunities if/when yields begin to recover. Agency spreads are tighter, and callables will get better yield- Call provisions are a tool used by issuers to refinance debt at a more attractive rate. Our focus will be to purchase callable securities with a call “lockout” period of six months or more to enhance investment income over the LGIP funds.
