OVERVIEW

2018 First Quarter Financial 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 US economy grew at an annualized rate of 2.3% in the first quarter of 2018. The stock market performed much like a roller coaster, with violent swings up and down depending on the news of the day. The revamped tax code and better than expected corporate earnings rocketed markets upward but tariffs and threats of trade wars sent the market back down. Economists continue to warn that the economy’s upward path is unlikely to continue beyond next year. Growing national debt and the Federal Reserve’s plan to continue to raise interest rates put fear in future expansion models. Even with this cautious long-term outlook, short-term projections appear to be right on track with growth at around 3%. In March, the Federal Reserve voted to raise short-term interest rates 25 basis points to a range of 1.50% to 1.75%. This was the first of three projected raises in 2018, with a rumored fourth raise possible. Federal Reserve officials stated “The economic outlook has strengthened in recent months,” and that “Americans should expect even faster growth and lower unemployment ahead.” Unemployment is now expected to fall to 3.8 percent in 2018, the lowest level since 1969. Colorado continues its rapid expansion, rated the number 1 economy in the United States for 2017 and continuing right where it left off in 2018. Unemployment sits at 2.9% and wage growth outpaced inflation for the first quarter. The biggest barrier to future economic expansion is the labor force. Locally, the slow but steady growth pattern continues. Sales tax remains strong, up 5.81% for the quarter, led by fast-casual restaurants, clothing stores and grocery chain stores. The rebound in grocery chain stores was a nice trend as this category was underperforming in 2017. It should be pointed out that these results are only for two months. Auto Use tax, up 7.8%, and Property tax, up 15.5%, are outpacing expectations. Auto sales nationally are on the decline but locally are staying strong. Property tax continues to grow with the increased building activity and skyrocketing home values. The Street Maintenance fund begins its second year in existence with an ambitious list of projects that includes mill, overlay, patch, full reconstruction and concrete work. A listing of the streets that are scheduled to have some form of work done is included later in this report. Work has already begun, as the construction season is short in duration. The average rent for a 2-bedroom unit in Arvada has grown to $1,381 per month, up 7.2% over 2017. A 3-bedroom unit runs $1,691, up 3.2% over 2017. Due to these increases, and no additional federal funding, the number of families the Arvada Housing Authority is able to help is down to 416. This is 57 less than in 2017, and 92 less than allowed. The transition of the police dispatch to the new Jefferson County Communications Center Authority (Jeffcom 911) was completed in March, and included seven other local entities. This project was many years in the making and should offer efficiencies and enhanced communication across the agencies. Three capital improvement projects are highlighted this month – Public Restrooms in Olde Town, Traffic Signals and Guardrails. Please take the opportunity to read about some of the new and exciting projects the City has in the works.

Overall, how satisfied are you with the government services provided by the City of Arvada?

OVERVIEW

The IT Department, working in conjunction with the City Manager’s Office and Public Works Department, set a strategic result of getting every City facility, along with City traffic lights, “connected” through high-speed fiber. Using existing City-owned conduit, leasing private conduit and colocating conduit as development occurs, this result is close to being achieved. The map below shows the current progress.

The City operates five internal service funds – Insurance (Rick Management), Computer, Print Shop, Vehicles and Buildings. These funds allocate charges to internal programs and departments for the purchase of insurance and for the replacement and maintenance of identified items. The budget for 2018 calls for the complete replacement of the City’s desktop and laptop computers, continued repair work related to the May 2017 hail storm and more than double the normal replacement of vehicles. The City will begin work on the 2019-2020 budget process this summer. Many challenges lie ahead, including the funding gap in streets, additional service needs in police and parks, homelessness, transportation capacity and mobility. City Council will consider the possibility of placing a bond issue on the ballot this November. The bond issue would be a reauthorization (no new taxes) of current sales and use tax debt that will pay off this December. If City Council does decide to move forward with the ballot, projects will need to be identified and agreed upon later this summer. Finally, The City of Arvada has been awarded a 2018 Top Workplaces honor by the Denver Post. It is the only local government organization awarded in the “large company” category. Arvada was also named a Denver Post Top Workplace in 2012 and 2015.

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.

Tax Increment Funds Beginning Fund Balance

Revenue Highlights

• Combined Sales Taxes, Audit Revenues and Use Taxes are 16.2% of the 2018 budget.

• Sales and Use Tax increased $181,902 or 11.3% over the first quarter 2017. for personnel and overtime have increased $65,854 over 2017

The City's focus on strategic planning dictates the need to develop a cost-effective plan for providing services in an area of Arvada that continues to grow in population and businesses. While public safety is a critical aspect of this strategic measure, the City must also consider all other services required. The City must be prepared to provide services required by new residents and businesses in the northwest area. Current resources are not adequate for the projected development and resources need to be implemented to align with growth.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS FUND Project Updates Public Restrooms in Olde Town: Over the past several years, the City has invested over $30 million in infrastructure projects around the Olde Town station which is in the heart of Olde Town Arvada and future stop for the G Line. The popularity of Olde Town has grown with two new multi-family developments and numerous retail, eating and drinking establishments. In April 2017, City Council adopted the strategic result “By 2018, new public restrooms in Olde Town will be available to accommodate G Line commuters and increasing Olde Town visitation.” A restroom will provide a much-needed facility in an area with significant visitation on an ongoing basis. In addition, the G Line is proposed to generate 3,000 boardings per day, creating more activity in the public space around the platform as well as foot traffic around Olde Town. It is anticipated that the restrooms will be available around July 2018. Traffic Signals: While there has been much focus on the Olde Town G Line Station, there are two other transit stations in Arvada. This project will focus on a second rail stop in Arvada which will provide easier access to the Arvada Ridge G Line station. This station is also within walking distance to the Arvada Ridge multi-family development, Red Rocks Community College as well as the Van Bibber Creek Trail and the upcoming Arvada Holistic Health and Fitness Park. The traffic signals will be located at the intersection of Kipling Parkway and West 55th Avenue and West 55th Avenue and Lee Street. The lights should be operational by May 2018. Guardrails: While new infrastructure in the City of Arvada is always exciting, it is also important that the City ensure the safety of its citizens. Guardrails are critical to the overall safety of the traveling public. The City spent approximately $133,000 to install new guardrail in five locations where potential hazards can be prevented and repair and/or replace existing guardrail at four defective or damaged locations. The locations are as follows: New guardrail • West 82nd Ave east of Highway 93 (north of roadway) • Alkire Street at West 82nd Avenue (curve north of railroad) • West 86th Parkway west of Kipling Street (Croke Canal Bridge) • Ward Road north of West 67th Avenue (east of roadway) • West 74th Avenue west of Carr Street (north of roadway) Repair/replace guardrail • Alkire Street at Church Ditch Crossing (north of West 81st Avenue) • W 80th Ave at Church Ditch Crossing (intersection of Newman Street) • West 74th Avenue at Church Ditch Crossing (east of Jellison Street) • West 74th Avenue at Church Ditch Crossing (Robby Ferrufino Park) This project was completed in the first quarter 2018.

CITY OF ARVADA INVESTMENT REPORT

Investment Portfolio Objectives Pursuant to the City’s investment policy, the primary objectives, 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), Bank CDs, commercial paper, and corporate debt. All security types are subject to the concentration limits and credit ratings established by the City’s investment policy. 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.

corporate sector is limited to no more than 35% of the whole portfolio and no more than 5% per any one issuer.

The Federal Reserve raised its policy rates once again in March of 2018. A 25 basis points (bps) hike put the target rate range at 1.50% – 1.75%. Jerome Powell, the newly appointed Chair of the Federal Reserve, acknowledged in his public address that the “economic outlook remains strong”. The forecast remains for an additional two rate hikes in 2018. The market volatility rose significantly in early February due to fears that tax cuts and expanding Federal budget deficit will over-stimulate the economy. Despite the turmoil, the global economy began 2018 with positive momentum. The U.S. economy was characterized by a strong labor market and rising inflation.

CITY-MANAGED PORTFOLIO

The City’s total investment portfolio over the same time period last year has increased by more than $27 million due to the City’s strong tax base and responsible spending. The holdings in all investment sectors grew almost proportionately. Certificates of Deposit interest rates were not keeping up with the Federal Reserve’s rate increases and therefore were unattractive for re-investment. The City allocates its investments among all maturity ranges to smooth the revenue stream. However, the current allocation is more focused around the 1-3 year mark, along with cash in LGIPs, to have the ability to re-invest at higher rates. Consistent with the City’s practices the majority of the portfolio is invested in U.S. Agencies and U.S. Treasuries, accounting for almost 67% of all investments.

CITY OF ARVADA INVESTMENT REPORT The average yield on the City-managed portfolio in the first quarter of 2018 was 1.58%, which is an increase of 41 basis points (bps) from the same period last year. The City’s interest earnings are on the rise as the Federal Reserve’s tightening policy continues. The total interest earnings for the first quarter were $827,358, an increase of $283,672 from the prior year. The City’s duration to maturity is 1.82 years, whereas the duration on the PFM-managed portfolio is 2.19 years. Keeping the duration shorter will allow the City to take advantage of the re-investment opportunities at higher rates as the current securities mature. The average year-to-date yield on the PFM-managed portfolio was 1.38%, an increase of 20 bps from last year. The year-to-date benchmark is at 2.13%. The City’s portfolio is below the benchmark, primarily due to the City’s investment strategy of buying and holding to maturity. Principal preservation is the City’s first priority. Over 90% of investments the City holds are rated AA+ or better.

Investment Management Focus - 2018 Jerome Powell is expected to continue former Chair of the Federal Reserve Yellen’s gradual approach towards monetary tightening. The FOMC forecasts three interest rate hikes for 2018. 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 U.S. Agencies’ spreads are still tight. Callable securities normally get better yield. (Call provisions are a tool used by issuers to refinance debt at a more attractive rate.) In the rising interest rates environment the risk of securities being called decreases; therefore, the focus will be to take advantage of the option-adjusted spreads of callable securities. 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 suddenly fall.
