OVERVIEW

2017 Third Quarter Report The Financial Report for the City of Arvada provides an unaudited overview of the major funds and how their revenues and expenditures performed in comparison to budget. This is not meant to be a complete accounting, but rather a quick look at the highlights. The economic recovery is now in its eighth year and showing little signs of slowing down. September marked the 99th month of recovery, the third longest in US history, with experts expecting this to last another 12 to 24 months. Consumer confidence is the highest it has been since 1997 and the probability of a third Federal Reserve rate hike in December sits at 70%. Gross domestic product (GDP) increased at 3% for the third quarter with positive contributions from personal consumption, exports and government spending. All of this occurred despite the two hurricanes, Harvey and Irma, wreaking havoc on the southern part of the United States. With low unemployment and robust economic growth, Colorado has the strongest economy in the United States. Arvada has contributed to the growth, even though it does not allow retail sales of marijuana, one of the largest contributors to the increase in state-wide tax revenues. The current unemployment rate in Arvada is the lowest in years at 2.2%. Building revenues are up 6.9% due to a substantial jump in roofing permits issued in the wake of the May 8, 2017 hail storm and large number of commercial projects. The graphic below shows total roofing permits issued and highlights the spike in the second and third quarters. There were 5,491 roofing permits issued through September, or four times the five-year average of 1,293.

Expectations for a slowdown in sales tax for the second half of 2017 were a bit premature. The year-to-date increase now sits at 6.1% over 2016. Growth is widespread, with all sales tax categories showing increases except Health & Specialty Foods and Telephone Equipment. The categories with the largest yearover-year growth continue to be Retail Hardware, General Department Stores and Fast-Casual Restaurants, all supported by the population growth. Fueled by the repairs caused by the May hail storm, auto use tax is now up 22.9% over 2016. New auto sales slowed for the third quarter but are expected to increase in the fourth quarter due to the hurricanes. Population growth in the City continues to bolster receipts. Included in this quarterly update is the new Streets Fund, along with a listing of the individual streets that had some type of work performed. The four categories of Asphalt Replacement, Concrete Replacement, Crack Sealing and Other show where the resources are being allocated. For 2017, over $10 million

OVERVIEW

dollars is expected to be spent maintaining the City’s most valuable asset. In the next two-year budget cycle, 2019-2020, staff will provide additional funding opportunities for City Council to consider as the City tries to address an approximate $6 million funding gap. It needs to be pointed out that any options will come at a cost to our current 10-year plans. A short write-up has been included about how Parks staff is attempting to tackle the City Council goal related to trail gaps. A comprehensive plan has been created and presented and funding to implement this plan will be requested. Work has begun on the Delta police station. The land has been acquired and the design work is well underway. Construction should begin in the spring of 2018 with an opening date scheduled for early 2019. The station will be 100% cash financed and has an estimated cost of just over $4.5 million. This will add a third community station to the northwest part of the City and will provide additional resources to the growing community. The ability of the Arvada Housing Authority to offer housing subsidies continues to be eroded, with the number now sitting at 444 families out of a possible 508. As was stated in previous financial reports, this number will continue to decline unless changes to the funding levels are approved at the federal level. For example, the median rate for a one-bedroom apartment is $1,070 per month, with two-bedroom units at $1,350. The nation-wide average for twobedrooms is $1,160. This represents a 3.8% increase over 2016. Additional units are being added to the housing stock in Arvada but many of these units are along the G Line and command higher rates. Attainable housing will need to be a focus of future strategic plans. Three capital projects are highlighted this month – the Arvada Holistic Health and Fitness Park, West 64th Avenue and Indiana Street intersection improvements and the Fleet Maintenance cold storage building. Please take the opportunity to read about just a few of the exciting projects the City has in the works. The new estimated date for opening of the RTD’s G Line is now 2018. Continued challenges with the previously unused rail-crossing technology plague the A and B Lines. Until the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) is satisfied, guards will be required at all ground-level crossings and testing will not be able to resume on the G Line. Residents and business owners that expected the line to open in the winter of 2016 are exceedingly frustrated. The City needed to update the 10-year financial plan as it called for increases in sales tax related to expected commuter traffic. You can see the trains in action along the G Line, but they are running for no other reason than to keep the tracks conditioned. Work continues on the West Woods Golf Course clubhouse expansion and the irrigation replacement project. The structure for the new/remodeled clubhouse is now complete and finishes are being applied. Opening for the expanded kitchen operations, golf simulator, new bar, pro shop and additional office space is expected in the first quarter of 2018, giving staff and players alike the opportunity to “work out the kinks” before golf season is in full swing. The irrigation project is nearing completion, with the majority of the larger lateral pipes in the ground. Weather permitting; the smaller irrigation lines will be completed before the harsh conditions of winter set in. The City of Arvada will end 2017 in good financial shape. Additional revenue from building activity and increases in sales and use tax greater than the expected budget will offer funds that can be dedicated to one-time projects or rolled back into the fund balance. As Finance staff refines the assumptions for the next 10-year financial plan, opportunities to move additional resources towards growing infrastructure needs will be researched. The current 10-year capital plan will also be revisited to make sure the projects identified in 2015 and 2016 for funding are still valid.

In October 2016, the trail gap plan was reviewed with the City Council at a workshop and the priorities, as set forth in the 2016 Parks, Trails and Open Space Masterplan, were affirmed. This document is now used to inform budget priorities for the future and in determining which trail project might be eligible for grant funding.

The 2016 Parks, Trails and Open Space Plan identifies the City’s eight major trail corridors (Barbara Gulch, Big Dry Creek, Heritage Canal, Leyden Creek, Little Dry Creek, Moon Gulch, Ralston Creek and Van Bibber Creek, and prioritizes - in high, medium and low - where trail gaps exist as of mid-2016.

Barbara Gulch

By 2019, 100% of all identified trail gaps and connection points recognized in the City’s Parks, Trails and Open Space Master Plan and Bicycle Master Plan as identified by the Arvada Park Advisory Committee and as approved by City Council are built/completed.

With the priorities now set, the focus turns to the budget process as it concerns which of the prioritized trail gap projects will be included in the capital projects budget. At this time, the majority of all new trail projects are being completed by the developers of Candelas and Leyden Rock, as they are included in the development agreements as requirements to be completed by the developers of the projects. Completing gaps along other corridors will largely depend on grants received for specific trail segments.

52% In determining the percent completed for this strategic result, equal weight was given to preparing the plan and funding the identified improvements. Based on this, the strategic result is considered 52% because the plan has been developed and approved but, as of 2017, sufficient funds to complete the identified improvements have not yet been budgeted. 11


SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS Special Revenue Funds Overview Special Revenue Funds account for revenues that are to be used for specific purposes. The following funds 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 voter-approved sales tax increases to fund expanded police services. The first accounts for the .21 cent sales and use tax and the second accounts for the .25 cent sales and use tax. Sources 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, revenue trends in the tax increment fund will closely follow those in the general fund. .21 and .25

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS FUND Project Highlights Arvada Holistic Health and Fitness Park The City of Arvada and Red Rocks Community College are working together to design a unique destination park in the Arvada Ridge area – Arvada Holistic Health and Fitness Park. The primary goal of the Park is to provide a unique and meaningful park space within a transit-oriented neighborhood. This Park will help residents become active participants in their health and wellness, providing a place to exercise and practice physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of wellness that promote whole-body health. It will also act as an outdoor classroom and research laboratory for students at Red Rocks Community College, enhancing practical educational opportunities for the students enrolled in the Holistic Health program. The master plan was finalized in October 2017 and the design development/construction documents will be completed early 2018.

West 64th Avenue and Indiana Street Intersection Improvements This project did not arise from the Citizens Capital Improvement Plan Committee or a City Council goal. Many times, there are smaller projects that are completed because of efficiencies with another project or because the project is needed. This project is a capacity improvement at 64th and Indiana that involved the installation of an additional left-turn lane on eastbound 64th at Indiana and a 700-foot acceleration lane on northbound Indiana, handicap (ADA) ramps, curb and gutter, asphalt installation and signing and striping. Work was completed on this project in late summer.

Fleet Maintenance Storage Building This project will replace a temporary vehicle storage building. The 8,400 square feet building will be pre-manufactured steel construction with a concrete floor. The building has excellent exposure to solar power and will be designed to maximize the number of solar panels. The building will house cold storage of Arvada Police Department (APD) vehicles and will support a future 4-lane armorer’s range for APD. This project was originally a 2015 project. The bid came in at 160% of budget, so the project was re-bid with just the base building and components to support a future armorer’s range.

INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS

Internal Service Funds Overview There are five Internal Service Funds – Insurance Fund (Risk Management), Computer Fund, Print Services Fund, Vehicles Fund and Building Fund. Internal Service Funds charge internal programs and departments for use of goods and services. The Funds then pay for all associated costs of things such as purchasing insurance, vehicle purchases and maintenance, computer purchases and maintenance, and buildings maintenance.

Insurance Fund Overview The Insurance Fund, administered by the Risk Management Program of Finance, accounts for the City’s self-insurance against loss. It is funded with contributions by all City departments and programs based on their levels and types of exposure. The Fund is also used for loss prevention programs, the protection of City personnel and the preservation of City property and assets.

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 U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Agencies, local government investment pools (LGIPs), commercial paper, and corporate debt subject to rating and concentration limits. The City-managed investment portfolio is administered to provide sufficient liquidity to meet all reasonably anticipated operating cash needs without selling securities prior to maturity. The portfolio controlled by PFM is actively managed which means that investments may be sold prior to maturity and reinvested in order to achieve the desired duration, yield or diversification of the portfolio.

The City’s portfolio is positioned on the shorter end of the curve to be able to take advantage of the rising interest rates. About 20% of the portfolio is placed in highly liquid assets, such as money market accounts and LGIPs, which currently yield 1.22%. When compared to the third quarter of 2016, the consolidated portfolio has increased by more than $33 million. The current portfolio allocation presents a better diversification between Agencies, Treasuries and the corporate sector. The callable feature available on Agencies offers opportunity for a higher yield, whereas Treasuries offer the most safety and liquidity and are better suited for a “rolling down the yield curve” investment strategy.

CITY-MANAGED PORTFOLIO

The Federal Open Market committee (FOMC) has not raised the interest rates since their June meeting. The current federal target range remains at 1 - 1.25%. Market probabilities show an over 90% chance of another hike in December. At the September meeting, the FOMC announced the beginning of balance sheet tapering. The announcement was widely expected, and had little impact on the yields. The recent hurricanes led to some volatility in the U. S. economic data, particularly in the job market with the first negative reading in September since 2010. However, the final estimate of the second quarter GDP shows that U.S. economy expanded at a healthy pace of 3.1%. As a response to continued economic growth, an anticipated rate hike in December, and potential tax reform, interest rates rose across all maturities.

CITY OF ARVADA INVESTMENT REPORT The average yield on the City-managed portfolio through the third quarter of 2017 was 1.23%, which is an increase of 31 basis points (bps) from the same period last year. The total year-to-date interest earnings in 2017 were $1,854,440, an increase of $500,472 in comparison with same time period in 2016. In 2017, the City switched to a new benchmark, Standard & Poor’s U.S. Agency 0-5 Year Index, which is a better comparison for the City’s portfolio composition, duration, and investment strategy. In the third quarter, the City’s investments underperformed the benchmark by 11 bps. The City’s investment strategy is to buy and hold to maturity, which at times may cause the performance of the City’s portfolio to fall behind the benchmark, particularly in a rapidly rising interest rates environment. PFM Asset Management (PFM) is the City’s investment advisor who has managed a portion of the City’s investments since October of 2016. The average year-todate yield on the PFM-managed portfolio was 1.26%. When interest rates go up, the value of the current bonds goes down. This translates into unrealized loss in the consolidated portfolio, which is to be expected. The safety of the City’s investments is our first priority. Over 90% of the investments in the portfolio are rated AAA or AA+ by the Standard & Poor’s credit rating agency.

Investment Management Focus - 2017 In June the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates by 25 basis points (bps) to a range of 1.0%-1.25%. The FOMC forecast for three hikes in 2017 is still on the table, with a high probability of one more interest rate hike by the end of the year. The City will continue to focus on diversification of maturities. A portion of the portfolio is kept in LGIP, money markets, and cash balances at levels to meet operating needs and capture attractive interest rates. The City will continue to use a blended strategy, which calls for emphasis in short-term positions as well as some long-term positions (five years in the City’s case), but also staggering maturities in between to smooth the revenue stream. This will allow ample cash should the City experience unexpected needs and allow us to take advantage of better coupons in longer maturity buckets. The Federal Agencies’ spreads are still tight. Callable securities normally return better yield. (Call provisions are a tool used by issuers to refinance debt at a more attractive rate.) The focus will be to purchase callable securities with a call “lockout” period of one year. A combination of callable and non-callable securities will allow us to enhance investment income over the LGIP funds and not to subject the City’s portfolio to excessive turnover if interest rates fall.
