FINANCE DEPARTMENT FACSIMILE: 720-898-7846  TDD: 720-898-7869 PHONE: 720-898-7120 June 25, 2012 Citizens of the City of Arvada, Honorable Mayor, Members of City Council and City Manager We are pleased to submit the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for Arvada, Colorado for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the management of the City. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed data is accurate in all material respects and is reported in a manner designed to present the financial position and results of operations of various funds and component units of the City in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). All disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the City’s financial activities have been included. In addition to an annual audit of the City’s financial records performed by a third-party private auditor, the City is also required to have an annual single audit in conformity with the provisions of the Single Audit Act, as amended, and U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments and Non-Profit Organizations. Information related to this single audit, including the schedules of federal and state financial assistance, findings and recommendations, and independent auditors’ reports on the internal control structure and compliance with applicable laws and regulations, are not included herein but are reported separately. In conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, as set forth in Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 14, The Reporting Entity, and Statement 39, Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units, this report includes all funds of the primary government and the City’s component units. For this report the City of Arvada and all its departments and funds comprise the Reporting Entity. Our component units are the Arvada Urban Renewal Authority and the Arvada Economic Development Association. The City is required to provide a narrative introduction, overview and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is intended to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. PROFILE OF THE CITY OF ARVADA The City of Arvada is located approximately 20 miles to the northwest of the City of Denver, Colorado along Interstate 70. The City provides a full range of services, including police protection, physical parks, planning and zoning, transportation planning, street improvements and maintenance, a housing authority, a regional cultural center, two golf courses, municipal court services, water, wastewater and stormwater services and facilities, along with various administrative functions. The area has separate governmental units that provide fire protection and recreational services. The population of the City is approximately 106,433. THE ECONOMIC FACTORS OF 2011 Officially, the Great Recession began in December of 2007 and ended in June of 2009. As we all know, the end of this recession was quiet. It will take many state and local governments a few years to return to pre-2007 revenue levels. Having stated that, the City of Arvada fared generally better in 2011 than in 2010 and the City’s revenues are beginning to reflect 2007 levels. This means, like many citizens and businesses, the city’s revenues have remained flat or were lower than they were in 2007 and 2008.

City of Arvada Letter of Transmittal Comprehensive Annual Financial Report Page 2 As the nation begins to slowly recover from the Great Recession, the City experienced small, but positive increases in various revenue sources. Sales tax receipts – which pay for over 50 percent of our general expenditures – increased by 3.34 percent over 2010 levels. Automobile sales were higher nationally and locally, generating over $5 million for the City, which is an 11 percent increase above 2010. Building activity was also higher with the permitting of a 360 multi-family project in the Kipling Ridge area. The City has responded to the changing environment in many ways. The one major response is to be ever-vigilant on ways to lower spending. In 2011 the City saved over $2 million by leaving positions vacant as employees left for different opportunities. Departments saved over $900,000 in various line items. Between 2010 and 2011, these types of savings resulted in providing monies for major capital projects. This is the major story of 2011. Through savings and analysis of all available cash reserves, over $10 million was identified for one-time capital expenditures. The Council allocated portions of the available monies over a series of meetings. Between May and January 2012 the Council allocated over $13.475 million for additional projects above the $7 million we dedicated for capital maintenance. The projects included arterial fencing, setting aside over $4.15 to for new rail stations and $2 million in additional street capital maintenance. The latter ensures over $5 million will be spent on paving materials for our streets. Capital investment was the highlight of the 2011 activity. The City began the design for a major new bridge at Garrison Street which, in turn, created the need to move and build a new, larger and much improved indoor soccer and other sport facility in partnership with the Apex Recreational District. The City dedicated approximately $2,000,000 to help with this move and construction. This bridge project also produced an opportunity to redevelop the entire park area of Ralston Creek in the core of the City. This also generated a movement to conduct a comprehensive plan for both transportation and other park needs in the Ralston Road corridor. One additional project designed with the Jefferson School District is the redesign of a large barren field beside the K – 8 school, also in the City’s core, into an active play area. These projects join other major investments. The City purchased land for new parks in the central and east neighborhoods of the City and a major skate park was nearly completed with a cost of over $2,000,000. The excitement of the new skate park was felt as young people from all over the region started using it before its “official” opening. The City joined a neighborhood in the development of the first park that will include growing of fruit trees and vegetables for purchase. The City began a neighborhood grant program that provided over $90,000 for small neighborhood-identified needs. Neighborhoods had to match their request with sweat equity, with the outcome being neighborhood identification signs, neighborhood meeting events and landscaping projects. This past year was a significant year in producing results in the City’s mission of “Continuing to Build a Great Community.” Through everyday efforts of park and street maintenance, property and building code enforcement and public safety, Arvada has been able to retain service levels and add amenities even as the country has faced one of the most difficult financial periods in over 50 years. With the monies set aside, continued focus on “Taking Lasting Care” of the facilities we have and investment in the Ralston Fields, west side and transit areas, the City should easily be able to continue to be a great community for all families. FUTURE ECONOMIC FACTORS The City of Arvada’s current sales tax base is primarily based upon grocery store-anchored shopping areas. In addition we have five major retailers: Kohl’s, Costco, Sam’s Club, K-Mart and Target. All of these businesses continued to do well in 2011, indicating that residents continue to look towards value for their purchasing power. In late 2011, one of the City’s major retail areas had a major renovation of a Kroger type of business. Another area began to attract a number of fast-food and fast-casual restaurants. Both of these areas are now experiencing significant retail sales. We expect this growth to continue into the future, increasing the City’s sales tax base.

City of Arvada Letter of Transmittal Comprehensive Annual Financial Report Page 3 The City was also able to secure a Wal-Mart Marketplace in a space vacated by another major grocery store over three years ago. The Marketplace may not increase the total grocery sales in our City, as we expect to see shifting between various stores. It will, however, create activity in a shopping area that is struggling due to the major tenant closing. In addition to the new multi-housing units, we have begun to have some growth in single family housing permits. This started late in 2011. The homes range from $200,000 to $500,000, but the builders have started the basic infrastructure required to build the 2,000 homes they expect to have completed by 2025. There are three major new economic engines for the City of Arvada for the next decade. The first is the redevelopment of an area referred to as “Ralston Fields.” This area is comprised of aging shopping centers, and sales tax revenue has been decreasing for the past seven years. Over 30 years ago the City created a separate Urban Renewal Authority to help with the development and redevelopment of areas. It is clear the economy is slowly recovering as the Urban Authority has more interest in redeveloping the Ralston Fields area. Also, the City has made major park and flood mitigation improvements adjacent to the commercial areas. These investments will improve the area for both the private sector and the residents. Finally, the City is beginning to have discussions about further partnership in developing a few more amenities to the area to encourage more commercial growth. The second noteworthy economic change will be the opening of the three rail stations in our City. The City has set aside over $8 million dollars to ensure the commuter experience is very positive. The changes include altering roads for access, adding money for amenities and purchasing property for parking requirements. In the short term, the economic benefit will be derived from the construction work to our restaurants and other amenities. In the long term, we have already seen major multi-housing being built at one of the stations. We expect more changes to occur, adding people to use our businesses. The final significant investment that will have long-term implications is the completion of the Denver Beltway. The final 10 miles is between Broomfield County, Jefferson County and the City of Arvada. These three entities have created a joint Public Highway Authority to determine if a public private partnership (P3) can be created to complete this integral piece of the regional transportation system. In 2011, a great deal of work was completed to increase the wildlife area in a positive approach for the land already dedicated for the transportation corridor. Discussions occurred with various entities about connectivity and various challenges. This is the last piece of a large transportation project that would connect I-25 to I-70 west to the mountains. Overall, we continue to see small signs of an improving economy. We believe the investment in basic infrastructure and keeping our focus on the three prime areas of economic growth will enable the city to continue the concept of growing the City at a sustainable rate. FINANCIAL INFORMATION Pension Trust Funds: The City has three defined contribution programs for different types of employees: City of Arvada Retirement Program (CARP) for its regular employees; the Arvada Police Pension Plan (APPP) for its uniformed police officers; and the Executive Management Program for the appointed management team. The City deposits between 10% – 15% into an individual’s account and the employee must contribute between 8% – 10%. The employee directs their own investments within a limitation of funds as identified by each Board. In addition, the City offers a voluntary 457 program where employees can place additional dollars for retirement on a tax-free basis. All four programs have independently elected boards. The APPP uses Fidelity Investments as their record keeper. The others all use Great West Retirement Services. The Council adopts the investment plans of all the Boards. Internal Control Structure: The City of Arvada establishes and maintains an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft, or misuse, and to ensure that adequate accounting data is compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived, and valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.

City of Arvada Letter of Transmittal Comprehensive Annual Financial Report Page 4 Budgetary Controls: The City of Arvada maintains budgetary controls in order to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget approved by the City of Arvada’s City Council, its governing body. All activities of the City are included in the annual appropriated budget. The City maintains an accounting system to provide management with information regarding obligations against appropriations. Budgetary compliance is based on expenditures during the period (GAAP), rather than expenditures and encumbrances (non-GAAP). Because appropriations lapse at December 31, encumbrances outstanding are carried over and become a liability on the 2012 budget. Appropriations for fiscal 2012 will provide the authority to complete those transactions. Single Audit: As a recipient of federal and state financial assistance, the City is responsible for ensuring that adequate internal control structure is in place to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations related to those programs. As part of the City's single audit, tests are performed to determine the adequacy of the internal control structure, including that portion related to federal financial assistance programs, as well as to determine that the City has complied, in all material respects, with applicable laws and regulations. The results of the City’s single audit for fiscal year 2010, including any reported instances of significant deficiencies in the internal control structure or any violations of applicable laws and regulations, are reported separately. Independent Audit: Section 10.9 of the City of Arvada’s charter requires an annual audit of accounts and other evidences of financial transactions of the City and its departments by independent certified public accountants. The audit is performed by a firm chosen by a three-member audit board consisting of the City Manager and two members of the City Council, known as the Finance Committee. This year Clifton Gunderson LLP, a firm of independent accountants, audited the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011. AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Arvada for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The City of Arvada has received this award for 27 consecutive years. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized CAFR. This report must satisfy generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. A certificate of achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current CAFR continues to meet the certificate of achievement program requirements and we are submitting it to the committee to determine its eligibility for another certificate. The preparation of this report could not have been accomplished without the professionalism and dedication demonstrated by the financial and management personnel of each department. Special mention needs to be directed to the dedicated employees of the Finance Department charged with ensuring that all accounting principles are adhered to each and every day, thus ensuring the efficient and effective preparation of this audit and document. Special thanks go to Lisa Yagi, Assistant Finance Director; Bryan Archer, Controller; and many people of his team. The production of the document was in the capable hands of Arlene Martinez, the Finance Department’s Executive Secretary, and Steve Milke, the City’s Creative Services Designer. Respectfully submitted,

Independent Auditor’s Report Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council City of Arvada Arvada, Colorado We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of City of Arvada as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011, which collectively comprise the City of Arvada’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the City of Arvada’s management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Arvada as of December 31, 2011, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof, and the respective budgetary comparison for the General Fund, Community Development Fund, Arvada Center Fund, and Parks Fund, for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June 25, 2012 on our consideration of City of Arvada’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the managementâ€™s discussion and analysis and schedules of funding progress on pages 11 through 22 and 71 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with managementâ€™s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City of Arvadaâ€™s basic financial statements. The supplementary information listed in the table of contents is presented for purposes of legal compliance and additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. The supplementary information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The introductory section and statistical sections listed in the table of contents have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

CITY OF

ARVADA, COLORADO

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2011

This section of the City of Arvada’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report provides readers with a narrative overview and analysis of the City’s financial performance during the fiscal year that ended on December 31, 2011. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with the letter of transmittal at the front of this report, the City’s basic financial statements and notes to the financial statements, to enhance their understanding of the activities and financial health of the City of Arvada. Overview of Financial Statements This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements. The City’s basic financial statements consist of the following three components: • • •

Government-wide Financial Statements Fund Financial Statements Notes to the Financial Statements

Other supplementary information is also included at the end of the report. Government-wide Financial Statements. The government-wide statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City’s finances using the accrual basis of accounting, the basis of accounting used by most private-sector businesses. The statement of net assets presents information on all of the City’s assets and liabilities. The difference between assets and liabilities are reported as net assets. Over time, increases and decreases in net assets may provide an indication of whether the City’s financial position is improving or deteriorating. The statement of activities presents information reflecting how the City’s net assets have changed during the fiscal year that just ended. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying activity occurs. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in these statements for some items that will only result in cash flows in future periods (e.g. uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave). The government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (government activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City include general government, public safety, public works, parks, cultural and human service. The business-type activities of the City include water, wastewater, stormwater, golf and food service. The government-wide financial statements also include both the Arvada Urban Renewal Authority and Arvada Economic Development Association as discretely presented component units of the City. Fund Financial Statements. Traditional users of the City’s financial statements will find the fund financial statement presentation more familiar. The focus is now on major funds rather than fund types. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. A major fund should generally meet both of the following criteria: 1) total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses are at least 10% of the corresponding total (assets, liabilities or expenditures/expenses) for that fund type (i.e. governmental or enterprise funds) and 2) total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of the individual governmental or enterprise fund are at least 5% of the corresponding total for all governmental and enterprise funds combined. 11

CITY OF

ARVADA, COLORADO

MANAGEMENTâ€™S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2011

The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All funds of the City can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds. Governmental Funds. Governmental funds are used to report those same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the governmentwide statements, the fund financial statements are prepared on the modified accrual basis. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available, and expenditures are recognized when the related fund liability is incurred, with the exception of long-term debt and similar long-term items which are recorded when due. Therefore, the focus of the governmental fund financial statements is on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources as well as on the balance of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Since the focus of the governmental funds is on near-term resources, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. To facilitate this comparison, reconciliations are provided for both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental statements of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance for the General fund, Community Development fund, Arvada Center fund, Parks fund, General Capital Projects fund and the Construction fund. These six funds are considered to be major funds. Data from the other governmental funds is combined into a single aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-major funds is provided in the form of combining statements located within the supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements. The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for all of its governmental funds. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided to demonstrate compliance with this budget. The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 26-28 of this report. Proprietary Funds. The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds, enterprise and internal service funds. The proprietary fund financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its water, wastewater, stormwater, food service and golf operations. Internal service funds are accounting devices used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the Cityâ€™s various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for dental benefits provided by the City, its risk management program, its replacement of vehicles and information technology equipment, maintenance of vehicles and buildings and its print shop operations. The activity in these funds is allocated between the governmental and business-type activities based upon actual usage. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The Water, Wastewater and Stormwater enterprise funds are considered to be major funds and are therefore presented separately within the proprietary fund financial statements. The Golf Course and Food Services funds do not qualify as major enterprise funds but are being presented as such. All internal service funds are considered to be non-major funds and they are combined into a single, aggregated column in the proprietary fund statements. Individual fund data for each of the nonmajor proprietary funds is provided in the form of combining statements located within the supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements. 12

MANAGEMENTâ€™S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2011

The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 34-36 of this report. Fiduciary Funds. The City maintains two different types of fiduciary funds, trust and agency funds. The fiduciary fund financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held by the City in a trustee capacity or as an agent for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of these funds are not available to support the Cityâ€™s own programs. The funds underlying each of the fiduciary fund types are combined into a single, aggregated column in the fiduciary fund statements The City does not adopt an annual appropriated budget for its fiduciary funds. The basic fiduciary fund financial statements can be found on pages 37-38 of this report. Notes to the Financial Statements. The notes to the basic financial statements are considered an integral part of the financial statements since they provide additional information needed to gain a full understanding of the data provided in both the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 39-70 of this report. Combining Statements. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with the non-major governmental funds, non-major enterprise funds, internal service funds and fiduciary funds are presented following the required notes to the financial statements. Government-wide Financial Analysis As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government financial position. At the close of December 31, 2011, the Cityâ€™s assets exceeded liabilities by $650,427,000. The following summaries of net assets and changes in net assets are presented for the current year and the previous year in comparison format.

Net assets: Invested in capital assets, net of related debt Restricted Unrestricted Total net assets

For more detailed information, see the Statement of Net Assets on page 23 of this report. By far the largest portion of the City’s Governmental net assets (66 percent) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g. land, buildings, improvements, infrastructure and equipment), less any debt used to acquire those assets still outstanding. The City of Arvada uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City’s investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. An additional portion of the City’s Governmental net assets $25,837,000 (7 percent) represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net assets, $95,365,000 or (27 percent), may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to its citizens and creditors. The City’s total net assets increased by $15,258,000 during the current fiscal year. This is due to an increase in the governmental activities of $7,624,000 and an increase in the business-type activities of $7,634,000. The increase is primarily due to contributed capital from developers, increases in user fees that will be used for current and future capital projects, increases in reserve funds that will be used for future replacements of vehicles, computers and buildings and line item budgetary savings. 14

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2011

Governmental activities. Governmental activities increased the City’s net assets by $7,624,000. Key elements of this change are due to the following: • • • • • •

Capital contributions from developers amounted to $3,594,000 Other capital grants in the form of lands dedicated and park development fees related to new housing developments were up $1,846,000 Sales and Use tax collections were up $737,000 Interest revenues were up $368,000 Charges for Services were up $577,000 Transfers out were down $450,000 due to the net of the decreased amount transferred to Capital Projects and the increased amount transferred to the Arvada Center

Business-type activities. Business-type activities increased the City’s net assets by $7,634,000. Key elements of this increase are due to the following: • •

•

Capital contributions from developers. The budgeting strategy for 2011 included measures so the revenues would exceed expenses in the Wastewater and Stormwater Funds for future large capital needs. There was also a very large Stormwater project that was not completed in 2011. These funds will be carried over into the 2012 budget The Golf Course Fund was able to reduce expense and increase revenues enough to be “profitable” in 2011.

Financial Analysis of the City’s Funds As noted previously, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with financerelated legal requirements. Governmental funds. The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of year. In 2011, the City implemented The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. This Statement defines the different types of fund balances that a governmental entity must use for financial reporting purposes. Per GASB 54, as of December 31, 2011, fund balances of governmental funds are classified as follows: Non-spendable – amounts that cannot be spent either because they are not spendable in form or because they are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. The City had $908,000 in nonspendable resources. Restricted – amounts that are subject to externally enforceable legal purpose restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or law and regulations of other governments; or through constitutional provisional or enabling legislations. The City had $25,878,000 in restricted resources. Committed – amounts that are subject to a purpose constraint imposed by a formal action of the City Council. The City Council is the highest level of decision-making authority for the City. Commitments may be established, modified or rescinded only through resolutions and ordinances approved by the City Council. The City had $24,279,000 in committed resources.

ARVADA, COLORADO

CITY OF

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2011

Assigned – amounts that are for an intended use established by the City, but that are not considered restricted or committed. The purpose of the assignment must be narrower than the purpose of the General Fund. The City had $33,085,000 in assigned resources. Unassigned – represents the remaining balance for the City’s General Fund. The City had $17,947,000 in unassigned resources. The General Fund is the main operating fund of the City. At December 31, 2011, the non-spendable fund balance was $607,000, the restricted fund balance was $1,780,000, the assigned fund balance was $2,731,000 and the unassigned fund balance was $17,947,000. The total fund balance, as restated, increased $1,828,000 in 2011 to $23,065,000. This was primarily due to some revenues increasing over budget, specifically building use tax, building permit fees and sales tax, and savings in personnel costs related to vacancies and unspent project funds. These project funds will be carried over and spent in 2012. The Community Development Fund is a major fund of the City. At December 31, 2011, the restricted fund balance was $1,448,000 and the assigned fund $5,650,000. Total fund balance increased $4,000 in 2011 to $7,098,000. This was primarily due to savings in program related costs and personnel. The Arvada Center Fund is a major fund of the City. At December 31, 2011, the non-spendable fund balance was $228,000, the restricted fund balance was $292,000 and the assigned fund balance was $69,000. The total fund balance decreased $28,000 in 2011 to $589,000. This was primarily caused by increases in production costs and overhead. The Parks Fund is a major fund of the City. At December 31, 2011, the non-spendable fund balance was $50,000, the restricted fund balance was $203,000 and the assigned fund balance was $3,794,000. The total fund balance increased $217,000 in 2011 to $4,047,000. This was primarily due to savings in expenditure lines, specifically personnel, temporary wages and utilities. The General Capital Projects Fund is another major fund of the City. At December 31, 2011, the restricted fund balance was $424,000, the committed fund balance was $24,279,000 and the assigned fund balance was $16,299,000. The total fund balance decreased $4,303,000 in 2011 to $41,002,000. This decrease was budgeted and should continue for the next few years as many large multi-year projects are underway. Examples of these are the Garrison Street Park and Bridge project, 2-3 year time period, and the East and South Central Park projects, three-year time periods and the Arvada K-12 Park Project. The Construction Fund is another major fund of the City. At December 31, 2011, the restricted fund balance was $1,000 and the assigned fund balance was $4,267,000. The total fund balance decreased $9,000 in 2011 to $4,268,000. The reduction in fund balance was caused by a final arbitrage calculation performed in 2011. Proprietary funds. The City’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. The unrestricted net asset balances of the City’s proprietary funds (including the major enterprise funds) are reflected in the following table:

Component units. The Arvada Economic Development Association (AEDA) was established to encourage all forms of economic development. Funding for AEDA consists of compensation from the City for services it renders the City and its citizens. The statement of net assets reflects a $1,216,000 unrestricted net asset balance. The total change in net assets for AEDA was an increase of $155,000. Budgetary Highlights General Fund. The increase from the original budgeted expenditures to the final budget amounted to $4,199,000 and can be summarized as follows: • • • • • • • •

Added $2,600,000 for additional funding related to the Parkway Added $500,000 for funding of small business revolving loan and grants programs Added $425,000 for an additional operating transfer to the Arvada Center Added $200,000 for and Olde Town TOD Study nd Added $194,000 for costs related to an overlay project on 72 Ave Added $185,000 for the final stages of the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program Added $24,500 for additional funding related to the annual audit Other appropriations of $70,500 for various projects and grants

There was one significant variance between the final amended budget and the actual results. This was related to the spending of the Parkway funds. Over $2,500,000 was remaining at the end of 2011. These funds will be requested to carry over into 2012 to be spent as part of the ongoing efforts related to the Parkway.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies This is a summary of significant accounting policies for the City of Arvada, Colorado presented to assist the reader in interpreting the financial statements and other data in this report. The policies are considered essential and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements. A. Financial Reporting Entity The City of Arvada is a political subdivision of the State of Colorado, located in Jefferson and Adams Counties in the Northwest quadrant of the greater Denver, Colorado, metropolitan area. The population of the City is approximately 108,539. The City, incorporated in 1904, provides general government; police services; water; sewer, stormwater; golf; the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities; park maintenance; food service; and various trust and agency functions in a fiduciary capacity. The City does not provide fire protection, public education, or solid waste services. An elected mayor and six-member council govern the City. As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) these financial statements present the City and its component units, entities for which the City is considered to be financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities are, in substance, part of the City's operations and data from these units are combined with data of the City. The discretely presented component units, on the other hand, are reported in separate columns in the government-wide statements to emphasize they are legally separate from the City. Each blended and discretely presented component unit has a December 31 year-end. Blended Component Units Arvada Housing Authority (Special Revenue Fund) â€“ The Authority administers funds received for rent subsidy to low/moderate income households under Section 8 of the U.S. Housing Assistance Payment Program. The City provides all administrative support to the Authority. The Authority, a legally separate entity, is governed by a Board of Directors, which consists of all current members of the Arvada City Council. Separate audited financial statements for the Arvada Housing Authority are not prepared. Arvada Council of the Arts and Humanities (Arts Council) (Special Revenue Fund) â€“ The Arts Council is a registered 501(c) 3 organization. Its role is to advise the Arvada City Council, provide guidance and support to the Arvada Center staff and act as an advocate for public support and funding for the Arvada Center. Separate audited financial statements for the Arts Council are not prepared. Discrete Component Units Arvada Urban Renewal Authority (AURA) â€“ AURA is reported in a separate column as a discrete component unit presentation to emphasize that it is legally separate from the City. AURA was created by Ordinance No. 1717 under the Colorado Urban Renewal Law and was approved by the voters on March 3, 1981. Its purpose is to develop, redevelop or rehabilitate blighted areas of the City. AURA currently has five active project areas, Ralston Fields, JCMD, Village Commons, Olde Town Station and Northwest Arvada. The governing body of the Authority is a commission of seven members, appointed by the Mayor and approved by City Council for staggered terms of five years. AURA's annual budget must be approved by the City Council and the City provides administrative support to the Authority. 41

CITY OF

ARVADA, COLORADO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2011

AURA is included in the City's financial statements due to the City's ability to appoint AURA's governing authority and approve the budget and its revisions. The City does not have any responsibilities to fund AURA operating deficiencies or deficits. Tax revenues are imposed and collected by the City. Separate audited financial statements for AURA may be obtained from the City. Arvada Economic Development Association (AEDA) â€“ AEDA is reported in a separate column as a discrete component unit presentation to emphasize that it is legally separate from the City. AEDA financial statements consist of one combining governmental fund. AEDA was established to encourage and stimulate all forms of economic development, commercial and industrial. The services provided by AEDA benefit both the City and citizens by providing information and services to existing and prospective businesses and industries. Funding for AEDA consists of compensation from the City for services it renders the City and its citizens. The City also provides administrative support for AEDA. A Board of Directors appointed by City Council governs AEDA. The City has implemented GASB Statement 61, The Financial Statement Reporting Entity, and we believe that AEDA is included as a discrete component unit in the City's financial statements for the following reasons: the City funds all of the operations of AEDA, the City Council appoints 6 members of the board and to not include them would be misleading to the financials. B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of activities) report information on all the non-fiduciary activities of the City and its component units. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which are normally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. Likewise, the City is reported separately from certain legally separate component units for which the primary government is financially accountable. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and major enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and trust fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded 42

CITY OF

ARVADA, COLORADO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2011

when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Government fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. Taxes, franchise fees, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government. Agency funds use the accrual basis of accounting. C. Financial Statement Presentation The accounts of the City are organized and operated on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. A fund is an independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses as appropriate. The various funds are summarized by type within the financial statements. The City reports the following major governmental funds: The General Fund is the Cityâ€™s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The Community Development Fund accounts for all entitlements, revenues and expenditures of the Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) program and the Home Rehabilitation program and Essential Home Repairs program. The Arvada Center Fund accounts for all revenues and expenditures of the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities.

The Parks Fund accounts for costs associated with the acquisition, design, development, maintenance and beautification of parks, open space and trails within the City. Revenues are derived from the Cityâ€™s General Fund, Grants Fund, Lands Dedicated Fund and Jefferson County Open Space funds. The General Capital Projects Fund accounts for all major capital projects of the City. Appropriations are not restricted to a fiscal year. Sources of revenue to this fund are transfers from contributions from the General and other funds, interest earned, transfers from Jefferson County Open Space funds and contributions by developers and government grants. 43

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2011

The Construction Fund accounts for proceeds from the Series 2005 COP Bond issue to be used for Stormwater drainage improvements, Water main line replacements, and an expansion of the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities and for the remaining proceeds from the 1999 Sales and Use Tax Bond issue. The City reports the following major proprietary funds: The Water Fund accounts for all activity within the scope of water utility operations. Water service is available within the City limits and is extended to some residents of the county and adjacent cities. All activities necessary to provide such service are accounted for in this fund, including administration, operations, capital water projects, maintenance, financing and related debt service, and billing and collection. The Wastewater Fund accounts for all activities necessary in the collection, transmission, and disposal of sewage and wastewater. It includes administration, operations, capital maintenance, financing and billing and collection. The Stormwater Fund accounts for all activities necessary to maintain a stormwater management plan. In includes administration, operations, capital maintenance and billing and collection. The Golf Course Fund accounts for all revenues and expenses of the Lake Arbor and West Woods Golf Courses, including food service operations. It includes administrative, operations, maintenance, financing and related debt service at Lake Arbor and West Woods Golf Courses. Food service activities include restaurant operations at the West Woods and Lake Arbor Golf Courses. The Food Service Fund accounts for all revenue and expenses associated with food service activities including the operation of banquet facilities at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities and offsite catering. Government and enterprise fund types that do not meet the criteria of major funds have been summarized and presented as other governmental funds and other enterprise funds, respectively within the fund financial statements. Additionally, the City reports the following fund types: Internal Service Funds are used to account for the Cityâ€™s fleet and information technology replacement, risk management insurance program, printing services and building and fleet maintenance services. The City reports the following fiduciary funds: The Pension Trust Fund is used to account for the Cityâ€™s defined benefit police pension trust to provide retirement benefits for one retiree that did not elect to join the new plan formed in 1986. Agency Fund is used to account for a variety of deposits from various sources held in escrow. All Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASBs) pronouncements as well as all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASBs) issued prior to November 30, 1989, are generally followed in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, unless those pronouncements conflict or contradict guidance of GASB pronouncements. Governments have the option of following subsequent private-sector guidance for their business-type activities and enterprise 44

CITY OF

ARVADA, COLORADO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2011

funds, subject to this same limitation. The City has elected not to follow subsequent privatesector guidance. As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements. Exceptions to this rule are the charges between the City’s enterprise operations and various other functions. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. Operating expenses for enterprise and internal service funds include cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available, it is the City’s practice to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. D. Assets, Liabilities and Equity 1) Deposits and Investments The City's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. The City pools cash resources of most funds to facilitate the management of cash. Cash applicable to a particular fund is readily identifiable. The balance in the pooled cash accounts is available to meet current operating requirements. Cash in excess of current requirements is invested in various interest-bearing securities and disclosed as part of the City's investments. Cash overdrafts from pooled cash and investments are reported as an interfund receivable/payable. Colorado statutes require that the City use an eligible public depository as defined by the Public Deposit Protection Act (PDPA). Under the Act, the depository is required to pledge a pool of eligible collateral having a market value at all times equal to at least 102% of the aggregate public deposits held by the depository not insured by Federal Depository Insurance. The pool for all the uninsured public deposits as a group is to be maintained by another institution or held in trust. Each institution designated as a public depository can be assessed a portion of the losses of a public entity's deposits in a failed public depository. Thus, all public deposits are fully collateralized. Eligible collateral as defined by the Act primarily includes obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. Government, the State of Colorado or any subdivision thereof and obligations evidenced by notes received by first lien mortgages or deeds of trust on real property. Investments are reported at fair value. The fair value of the City’s investments is based upon values provided from quoted market prices.

CITY OF

ARVADA, COLORADO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2011

2) Receivables and Payables Transactions between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either "interfund receivables/payables" (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or "advances to/from other funds" (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as "due to/from other funds". On the Statement of Net Assets, residual balances between governmental and business type activities are reflected as internal balances. Receivables are shown net of an allowance for collectibles, where applicable. Property taxes attach an enforceable lien on the property as of January 1 and are levied on the following January 1. Taxes are payable the following year in one installment made on or before April 30, or in two installments made on or before February 28 and June 15. The assessments and collections are made by Jefferson County and Adams County and are remitted monthly to the City. City property tax revenues certified in December are recorded as a receivable and an offsetting deferred revenue. The City records non-current receivables for interfund and other long-term notes on the Statement of Net Assets of its Proprietary Fund Types. Within the governmental funds, all non-current receivables are fully offset by deferred revenue if the payment resulting in the receivable was originally recorded as an expenditure. Otherwise non-current receivables are fully offset by a restriction of fund balance. Non-current receivables and other long-term notes are shown on the statement of net assets of the government-wide statements. 3) Inventories and Prepaid Items Inventories are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method with the exception of the City's central supply inventory which is valued at average cost. The cost of inventories is recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased. Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid costs in both government-wide and fund financial statements. 4) Restricted Assets The City applies restricted resources when an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net assets are available. Certain assets of the Community Development Block Grant special revenue fund are restricted because their use is completely restricted by grant agreements. Certain assets of the Arvada Center special revenue fund are restricted because their use is restricted by actor agreements. 5) Capital Assets Capital assets which include property, plant, equipment, and all infrastructure assets (e.g. roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities column in the government-wide financial statements and in the Proprietary Funds in the fund financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of three years. Such assets are recorded at historical costs or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation. 46

CITY OF

ARVADA, COLORADO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2011

The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. Capital assets other than land and water rights are depreciated. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method with estimated useful lives as follows: Assets Buildings Road system infrastructure Other improvements Other infrastructure Equipment Vehicles

Years 50 25 20 8-50 5-10 3-5

6) Compensated Absences It is the City's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits. No liability is reported for unpaid accumulated sick leave since benefits are not paid upon termination. Vacation pay is accrued when earned in the government-wide; proprietary and fiduciary fund financial statements. The compensated absences are only reported in governmental funds if they are due. Compensated absences of the governmental activities are expected to be liquidated primarily with revenues of the General Fund. 7) Long-Term Obligations In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net assets. Debt premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the debt using the effective interest method. Debts payable are reported net of the applicable debt premium or discount. Debt issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the term of the related debt. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize debt premiums and discounts, as well as debt issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of the debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures. 8) Fund Equity The City adopted the standards of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Government Fund Type Definitions (GASB 54), for the year ending December 31, 2011. This Statement defines the different types of fund balances that a government entity must use for financial reporting purposes. The classifications are designed based on the relative strength of the constraints that control how specific amounts can be spent, or in the case of inventories, the inability to be spent. When expenditures are incurred that use funds from more than one classification, the City will generally determine the order which the funds are used on a case-by-basis basis, taking into account any application requirements or grant agreements, contracts, business circumstances or other

CITY OF

ARVADA, COLORADO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2011

constraints. If no other constraints exist, the order of spending of resources will be restricted, committed, assigned and lastly, unassigned. GASB 54 requires the fund balance amounts to be properly reported within one of the fund balance classifications listed below: 1. Nonspendable - fund balance associated with inventories, prepaids, long-term loans and notes receivable, and property held for resale (unless the proceeds are restricted, committed or assigned) 2. Restricted – fund balance that can be spent only for specific purposes stipulated by constitution, external resource providers or through enabling legislation. 3. Committed – fund balance that can be spent only for specific purposes stipulated by a formal action approved by City Council. 4. Assigned – fund balance intended to be used by the government for a specific purpose but does not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed. 5. Unassigned – fund balance that is the residual classification that does not meet any of the other classifications and is used for the General Fund only. The following table illustrates the current fund balance amounts associated with each major fund and the non-major funds in the aggregate:

As a result of implementing GASB 54, it was determined that the Repayment Fund did not meet the definition of a special revenue fund and would need to be reclassified to the General Fund. As a result, the following adjustment has been made to the beginning balance:

Governmental Activities:

Net Assets – December 31, 2010 as originally stated GASB 54 implementation Adjusted Net Assets – December 31, 2010 as restated

9) Net Assets Net assets represent the difference between assets and liabilities. Net assets invested in capital assets, net of related debt consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowing used for the acquisition or construction of improvements of those assets. Net assets are reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use either through the enabling legislation adopted by the City or through external restriction imposed by creditors, grantors, laws, or regulations of other governments. In November, 1992, Colorado voters passed Article X, Section 20 to the State Constitution, described in Note 2B. The Amendment requires that a percentage of fiscal year spending, excluding bonded debt service, be legally restricted to be used for declared emergencies only. This amount is reflected on the government-wide statement of net assets as net assets – reserved for emergencies. The amendment requires a three percent emergency reserve at December 31, 1995 and thereafter. An emergency is defined in the Amendment as an event, which excludes economic conditions, revenue shortfalls, salary or fringe benefit increases. 10) Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates. 2. Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability A. Budgetary Information Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with US GAAP for all governmental funds except the capital projects fund, which adopts project-length budgets. All other annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end. Proprietary Funds are budgeted on a non-GAAP basis due to the budgeting of capital outlay and not depreciation. Budgetary financial statements do not include the general Capital Projects Fund because the projects accounted for in that fund span multiple years. Budgets are also not adopted for the Fiduciary funds. Not less than sixty days prior to the first day of the next fiscal year, Council adopts the City budget by resolution and the annual appropriation by ordinance. The City prepares a 50

combination line item and program budget, but the level of control is at the fund level which is the amount approved by ordinance. For budgetary, appropriation and reporting purposes, interfund transfers are considered to be revenues or expenditures. Both the adopted budget and the level of appropriation (by fund) can be amended during the budget year. This action requires Council approval in the form of a resolution for a budgetary amendment and by ordinance requiring a public hearing for an increase in appropriations. Intrafund budgetary transfers between departments within a fund can be accomplished with the approval of the Manager. B. State Constitutional Amendment On November 3, 1992, the voters of the State approved Article X, Section 20 to the State Constitution (the Amendment) limiting growth of public entities and their ability to borrow and tax. Enterprises, defined as government-owned businesses authorized to issue revenue bonds and receiving less than 10% of its annual revenue in grants from all state and local governments combined, are excluded from the provisions of the Amendment. The City's management is of the opinion that itâ€™s Water, Wastewater, Stormwater, Golf and Food Service operations qualify for this exclusion. The initial revenue base is 1992 fiscal year spending. Future revenue limits are determined based upon the prior year's fiscal year spending adjusted for a growth factor based upon inflation and changes in the actual value of real property within its boundaries. Excluded revenues such as gifts and federal funds are not used to calculate the limit. Revenue in excess of the limit must be refunded unless the voters approve retention of such revenue. On November 5, 1996, the qualified electors of the City approved Resolution R-96-127, which reads as follows: Without creating any new tax or increasing any current taxes, shall the City of Arvada be permitted, in 1996 and each year thereafter, to retain and spend City revenues in excess of the spending, revenue raising, or other limits in Article X, Section 20 or the Colorado Constitution, utilizing such revenues for public safety, municipal services, transportation and other public improvements, parks and recreational facilities, and any other lawful public purpose?

The Amendment requires, with certain exceptions, voter approval prior to imposing new taxes, increasing a tax rate, imposing a mill levy that will produce property tax revenue in excess of the amount collected in the previous year adjusted by the growth factor, extending an expiring tax, or implementing a tax policy change which directly causes a net tax revenue gain. Except for bond refinancing at lower interest rates or adding employees to existing pension plans, the Amendment specifically prohibits the creation of multiple fiscal year debt or other financial obligations without voter approval and without irrevocably pledging present cash reserves for all future payments. The City believes it is in compliance with the requirements of the Amendment. However, due to the broad general terms of the Amendment, the City has been required to make certain interpretations of the Amendment's language in order to determine its compliance. Ultimately, the courts may be required to determine the appropriate interpretations of the Amendment's terms and provisions.

3. Detailed Notes on Funds and Account Balances A. Deposits and Investments As of December 31, 2011, the City's cash deposits had a carrying value of $41,791,299. The bank balances were $42,054,898 of which $1,347,500 was covered by federal deposit insurance and $40,707,398 was collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial institution’s trust department or agent in the City’s name. Investment policies are governed by the City’s investment policies and procedures and State Statutes. Investments of the City and AEDA may include: • •

• • • • •

Local government investment pools authorized under the laws of the State of Colorado whose investment policy closely mirrors that of the City. Direct obligations of the United State government, including such instruments as Treasury Bills, Treasury Notes, Treasury Bonds, Export Import Bank issues, Farmers Home Administration Insured Notes, certain scaled discount notes, and certain relatively shortterm securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association. Obligations of certain U.S. Government agencies, including but not limited to such instruments as Federal Home Loan Bank debt, Federal National Mortgage Association debt, certain scaled discount notes, and/or certain short-term Federal Farm Credit debt. Purchases of the direct or agency securities mentioned above, under the terms of a repurchase agreement or in support of a City “Sweep Account” which meet the City’s procedures for the delivery, possession and safekeeping of investment securities. Repurchase agreements Commercial paper and certificates of deposits AAA-rated money market funds

Investments of the employee pension plans are determined contractually with the third-party custodian. The plans currently contain a wide range of money market and mutual funds and are not subject to the City’s investment policies. Interest Rate Risk The City’s investment policy does not specifically address Interest Rate Risk. The State Statutes requires 3 or 5 years depending on the investment. In practice, the City does not purchase any investments with a maturity of longer than 5 years with all “money market instruments” having a maturity of one year or less. The City assumes its investments will be held to maturity and callable investments may or may not be called. Credit Risk The City’s general investment policy is to apply the prudent-person rule: Investments are made as a prudent person would be expected to act, with discretion and intelligence, to seek reasonable income, preserve capital, and, in general, avoid speculative investments. The State Statutes specify rating requirements depending on the investment. All corporate bonds have AA or higher ratings. Concentration of Credit Risk As a means of limiting its exposure, the City’s total investment in any specific money market or mutual fund shall not exceed 10% of the total assets of such fund class. At December 31, 2011, the City's investments in the FHLB, FNMA, and FFCB are 14.19%, 15.24% and 14.26% of total investments, respectively.

Custodial Credit Risk Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the government’s deposits may not be returned to it. The City’s investment policy requires commercial banks and savings and loan associations to be eligible public depositories within the meaning of the Colorado Revised Statues of PDPA and S&L PDPA. The depositories will also have to posses overall financial strength, capitalization and liquidity to ensure the safety and availability of such monies. The assessment of this overall financial strength will be rated by the Prudent Man Analysis, Inc (PMA). Inasmuch as PMA utilizes overall rating of 1 through 5, (1 being strongest….5 being weakest), the City’s policy is to seek commercial banks with an overall PMA rating of 1 or 2. In the event that Prudent Man Analysis (PMA) services are not available, then the City may, upon written approval from the City manager or his/her designee, utilize other third-party agencies. Local Government Investment Pool At December 31, 2011, the City had invested in both the Colorado Local Government Liquid Asset Trust (Colotrust) and the Colorado Surplus Asset Fund Trust (CSAFE). These investment vehicles were established for local government entities in Colorado to pool surplus funds. The State Securities Commissioner administers and enforces the requirements of creating and operating these pools. Their operation is similar to a money market fund with each share equal in value to $1.00. Investments of these entities are limited to those allowed by State statutes. A designated custodial bank provides safekeeping and depository services in connection with the direct investment and withdrawal functions. Substantially all securities owned are held by the Federal Reserve Bank in the account maintained for the custodial bank. The custodian's internal records identify the investments owned by the participating governments.

AURA Investment Policy Investments The Authority is required to comply with State statutes which specify instruments meeting defined rating, maturity, and concentration risk criteria in which units of local government may invest. In addition, the Authority has an investment policy in which seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. Per the Authority’s investment policy, funds of the Authority may be invested in: • U.S. Treasury Securities. • Obligations of the U.S. Government agencies (including FDIC and FSLIC insured transactions up to $100,000). • Certificates of deposit and other evidences of deposit or investment at banks, savings and loan associations and other state or federally regulated financial institutions subject to PDPA (5%) and a minimum net worth of any bank of $10,000,000 and a minimum net worth of any savings and loan association of $15,000,000. • Repurchase agreements made in compliance with Revised Colorado State Statute 24-36113. Repurchase collateral will be perfected and delivered to the Trustee. Repurchase agreements must be collateralized at a minimum of 100% of the purchase price of the repurchase agreement and market-to-market on a weekly basis. All repurchase agreements shall be evidenced by a master repurchase agreement between the Authority and securities dealer. • Money market funds. Investments with any financial institutions which have appeared in any published watch list during a 12-month period preceding the investment date in an amount greater than $100,000 is specifically prohibited. The Authority's investment policy follows State statutes, but places additional limits on investment maturities and custodial credit risk. Interest Rate Risk – The Authority's investment policy limits the maturity of investment instruments or fixed-income securities to a maximum of three years except for reserve funds which are invested subject to agreements tailored to bond indentures, when applicable. Credit Risk – State statutes limit investments in money market funds to those that maintain a constant share price, with a maximum remaining maturity in accordance with Rule 2a-7, and either have assets of one billion dollars or the highest rating issued by a nationally recognized organization that regularly rates such obligations. At December 31, 2011, the Authority's investment in the Dreyfus Government Cash Management money market fund of $1,191,404 was rated AAA by Moody’s. Custodial Credit Risk – The Authority's investment policy requires that investments be placed with two or more financial institutions and in such amounts or proportions of total investments or assets as may be reasonable and prudent. Concentration of Credit Risk – State statutes generally do not limit the amount the Authority may invest in one issuer.

4. Other Information A. Risk Management The City has established a risk management program for much of its insurance needs. It is selfinsured for occurrences of general liability and auto liability claims, which are subject to the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act which caps recoveries at $150,000 per person and $600,000 per accident. Property damage is subject to a $100,000 deductible and liability insurance a $250,000 deductible. The Workersâ€™ Compensation program maintains a self-insured retention (SIR) limit of $350,000. There have been no settlements which exceed the Governmental Immunity Caps for general or auto liability in the last three years. No loss has been recorded in the last three years for the property program that exceeds the $100,000 deductible. Additionally, no claim or settlement in workersâ€™ compensation has exceeded the SIR in the last three years. Premiums are paid by each department into the Insurance Fund (internal service) to pay claims, claim reserves and administrative costs of the program including premiums to commercial insurance companies for losses in excess of the self-insured amounts. The City also provides dental insurance for employees. Dental claims are limited to $1,000/year per person. Liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported. Claim liabilities are calculated considering the effects of inflation, recent claim settlement trends including frequency and amount of payouts and other economic and social factors. The liability for claims and judgments is recorded in the internal service funds.

B. Commitments and Contingencies 1) Litigation The City is involved in pending litigation. The City anticipates no potential claims resulting from these cases which would materially affect the financial statements of the City. 2) Federal Grants Federal grants are subject to audit which could result in disallowed costs, the amount which is undeterminable at December 31, 2011. If any costs are disallowed in the future, the City expects them to be insignificant. 3) Commitments th

In October of 1997 and as amended in November of 2000, the City and DHI-64 & Indiana entered into a sales tax incentive agreement. This agreement was for $2,901,246 and will have approximately $1,604,108 remaining at the end of 2011 after paying $81,902 in principal. The City is obligated to pay this balance off at a rate of 28% of all city sales tax generated by the area. This commitment will last until May 2013 or until paid off, whichever is sooner. 4) AURA Commitment Developer Agreements The Authority receives incremental property taxes within the Ralston Fields area, as discussed in Note 1. In addition, a public improvement corporation (PIC) collects public improvement fees (PIF) within the area in substitution of a sales tax. In 2004, the Authority entered into a cooperation agreement among the following parties: • • • •

Ridge Venture LLC (the Developer), Retail Sales Operation, Kipling Ridge Metropolitan District (the District), and The City.

The purpose of this agreement is to accomplish the purposes of the Ralston Fields Urban Renewal Plan (the Plan). In this agreement, a portion of the incremental property tax revenues collected by the Authority and a portion of the PIF collected by the PIC are allocated to the City, the District, and the Retail Sales Operation, as follows: • The City: The Authority is to pay the City $100,000 a year for a continuing period of 18 consecutive years, which is passed through to the City of Wheat Ridge. This payment is for charges for municipal services incurred by the City of Wheat Ridge for property adjacent to the Ralston Fields Urban Renewal Area (the Area) arising from or out of the development activities that are necessary to implement the purposes of the Plan. • The Retail Sales Operation: The Authority and the PIC are to remit 25% of property taxes and PIF, respectively, derived from the Retail Sales Operation back to the Retail Sales Operation up to a maximum of $3 million. The agreement allows the Authority and the PIC to pay a maximum $500,000 per year until 2014 or when the $3 million is reached, whichever is earlier (Retail Sales Operation Reimbursement Period). As of December 31, 2011, $2,316,670 of the $3 million had been paid to the Retail Sales Operation. 64

CITY OF

ARVADA, COLORADO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2011

• The District: The Authority and the PIC are to remit to the District 60% of all property tax and PIF from the Area, excluding taxes derived from the Retail Sales Operation. Additionally, the Authority is to remit to the District another 45% of all sales and property tax revenue derived from the Retail Sales Operation up to the end of the Retail Sales Operation Reimbursement Period. After the Retail Sales Operation Reimbursement Period has expired, the Authority will remit to the District 60% of all property tax and PIF from the Area, inclusive of taxes derived from the Retail Sales Operation. Upon the earlier of (a) payment in full of the District’s outstanding bonds (bonds outstanding as of December 31, 2011, or $12,360,000) or (b) September 30, 2028, the Authority’s obligations to the District will terminate. As of December 31, 2011, $1,665,075 had been paid to the district. Additionally, 100% of the ad valorem tax on real and personal property attributable to the District Mill Levy actually received by AURA shall be remitted to the District. Total amount remitted to the District related to the District Mill Levy during the year ended December 31, 2011 was $88,666. The District Mill Levy remitted by AURA to the District shall not be included in the totals of Property Tax payments as noted above. On April 4, 2005, the Authority also entered into a Master Redevelopment Agreement with the Jefferson Center Metropolitan District No. 1 (JCMD No. 1) and the City. This agreement, and the obligations associated with this agreement, were assigned and assumed by Jefferson Center Metropolitan District No. 2 (JCMD) effective retroactively to April 4, 2005. On January 11, 2010 this agreement was Amended and Restated. The amended and restated agreement states that JCMD will bear the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the establishment of the Jefferson Center and Northwest Arvada Urban Renewal Areas and adoption of the Jefferson Center and Northwest Arvada Urban Renewal Plans. The Authority, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Amended and Restated Master Redevelopment Plan Agreement, is obligated to remit to JCMD and JCMD No. 1 the pledged revenues for use in financing project costs and any reimbursable expenditures in accordance with the agreement. Pledged revenues are equal to the total amount of incremental property and sales taxes received by the Authority which are available for payment to JCMD and reduced by the administrative fees of $150,000. Additionally, any City Property Tax Increment collected by the county and remitted to the Authority shall be utilized by the Authority in furtherance of urban renewal plans. With respect to the Jefferson Center Urban Renewal Plan, the Authority’s obligations under this agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (a) the payment in full of all JCMD obligations (bonds outstanding as of December 31, 2011, of $37,600,000), or (b) the date th that is the 25 anniversary of the date of adoption of the Jefferson Center Urban Renewal Plan. With respect to the Northwest Arvada Urban Renewal Plan, the Authority’s obligations under this agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (a) the date payment is made in full of all JCMD obligations (bonds outstanding as of December 31, 2011, of $37,600,000), supported by Northwest Area Property Taxes or to which Northwest Area Property Taxes are th pledged, or (b) the date that is the 25 anniversary of the date of adoption of the Jefferson Center Urban Renewal Plan. The agreement is expected to terminate in 2034. C. Conduit Debt Obligation From time to time, the City has issued Industrial/Mortgage Revenue Bonds, Mortgage Credit Certificates and Private Activity Bonds. Industrial Bonds are issued to provide financial assistance to private-sector entities for the acquisition and construction of industrial and commercial facilities. Mortgage Bonds are issued to provide financial assistance to low and moderate income persons and families in the purchase of a home. The bonds are secured by the 65

CITY OF

ARVADA, COLORADO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2011

property financed and are payable solely from payments received on the underlying mortgage loans. Upon repayment of the bonds, ownership of such property transfers to the person/family served by the bond issuance. Neither the City, the State, nor any political subdivision thereof is obligated in any manner for repayment of the bonds. Accordingly the bonds are not reported as liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. As of December 31, 2011, there was 1 Industrial Revenue Bond, 973 single and multi-family Mortgage Bonds, 101 Mortgage Credit Certificates and 1 Private Activity Bond. The unpaid balance on the Industrial Revenue Bond is $3.5 million and on the Mortgage Bonds is $25.7 million. The unpaid balance on the Mortgage Credit Certificates is $8.5 million and on the Private Activity Bond is $25.5 million. D. Retirement Commitments The City has adopted separate retirement or pension plans (Plans) covering all employees, except those hired on a temporary basis. Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the City has the right under the Plans to discontinue its contribution or to terminate the Plans. Should the Plans terminate at some future time, their net assets will be used to provide participants' benefits. Upon such termination, the assets of the Plans are to be allocated for the benefit of each participant and the beneficiary in a manner approved by the Internal Revenue Service. 1) Defined Benefit Police Pension Plan The City has a single employer-defined benefit plan to cover the uniformed police officers that did not elect to participate in the Defined Contribution Police Pension Plan that became effective January 1, 1986. In 1986, single premium group annuities were purchased for the benefit of retired employees, beneficiaries and terminated vested employees. After January 1, 1986, all new uniformed police officers are participants in the Defined Contribution Police Pension Plan. One fully vested participant remains in the Defined Benefit Plan as of December 31, 2011. The participant began receiving retirement benefits in 1997, as defined by City ordinance. Contribution requirements of the plan were not actuarially determined and an actuary was not used to determine the actuarial implications. The Pension Board commissioned an actuarial valuation of the plan for January 1, 2011. The valuation determined that the assets of the plan, $409,230, were not enough to cover the present value of the retirement obligation of $517,694 to the participating member at that time. The total unfunded actuarial liability was $108,464 and the funded ratio (total assets divided by total retirement obligations) was 79%. As of December 31, 2011, the net assets held in trust were $381,508. No contributions have been made by the participant or the City for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. The City has budgeted $20,000 per year starting in 2012 to fund the unfunded actuarial liability. The annual required contribution and resulting net pension obligation were not significant.

2) City of Arvada Retirement Plan – Defined Contribution Plan Effective January 1, 1993, all eligible City employees participate in the City of Arvada Retirement Plan (CARP), a defined contribution plan. All City full-time and part-time employees, except uniformed police officers, the City Manager, and his staff, the City Attorney and Department Heads who elect to participate in the Executive Retirement Plan, are eligible to participate in CARP. 493 employees were participants in the plan as of December 31, 2011.

Vesting Percentage 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100%

The plan requires covered employees to contribute 8% of their salary to the plan and the City to contribute 10% of the compensation of all participants hired after April 2, 2004. Employees hired on or before April 2, 2004 had a choice of receiving a flat rate 10% contribution or receiving an age weighted, graduated retirement contribution up to a maximum of 15%. The maximum permissible contribution is the lesser of $49,000 or 100% of the participant's earnings for the plan year. Benefit payments are based upon the participant account balance as of the valuation date immediately preceding the date of distribution. The participant may elect to receive distribution in a lump sum; substantially equal annual, semi-annual, quarterly or monthly installments; through the purchase of an immediate or deferred single payment, nontransferable annuity contract; or a combination of the above. Plan provisions and contribution requirements are established and may be amended by City Council. The required City contribution of $3,779,156 and the required employee contributions of $2,345,983 were paid during 2011. Additional employee contributions of $266,579 were also made in 2011. The required contributions represent 12.88% and 8% of total covered payroll, respectively. The plan investments are maintained and administered by Great-West Retirement Services. 3) Defined Contribution Police Pension Plan The City provides pension benefits for all of its uniformed officers not covered in the Defined Benefit Police Pension Plan through a defined contribution plan named the Police Money 67

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2011

Purchase Plan (PMPP). In a defined contribution plan, benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Participants are eligible to participate from the date of employment. The Plan requires that the City and the participant each contribute 10% of the participant's compensation. Participants are fully vested after five years of continuous service. City contributions for, and interest forfeited by, employees who leave employment before five years of service are used to reduce the Plan's expenses. Plan provisions and contribution requirements are established and may be amended by City Council. 155 employees were participants as of December 31, 2011. The required contributions for the City and PMPP employees amounted to $1,041,233 each (10% of covered payroll). There were forfeitures of $140,429 also contributed on the employee side, bringing the total employee contributions to $1,181,662. The plan allows voluntary and roll over contributions by employees. The plan investments are maintained and administered by Fidelity Investments. 4) Executive Retirement Plan The City provides pension benefits for the City Manager, his staff and the City Attorney through a separate defined contribution plan. The plans are administered by Great-West Retirement Services. Qualified employees are eligible to participate from the date of employment. Under the plan, the City contributes an amount equal to 10.02% of the participant's base salary. The employees covered by this plan were required to make an 8% contribution in 2011. Employees covered under this Plan are vested upon date of hire. Employees who leave employment with the City are entitled to all contributions and interest earnings. Plan provisions and contribution requirements are established and may be amended by City Council. For the year ended December 31, 2011 the City contributed $195,623 for the benefit of the 14 participants in the Plan and the employees contributed $154,371.

E. Post-Employment Benefits Other than Pensions The City adopted the standards of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Post-employment Benefits Other Than Pensions (GASB Statement No. 45), for the year ended December 31, 2008, on a prospective basis. Plan Description â€“ The City has established a single employer-defined benefit post-employment healthcare plan. Employees with at least 20 years of service with the City, or 5 years of service with the City plus 59 years of age, are eligible to receive health insurance benefits after retirement. The retiree pays 100% of the health care premium. These benefits expire when the retiree reaches the age of 65. The authority to establish and amend benefit provisions rests with the City Council. The City does not issue a stand-alone financial report for the plan. Funding Policy â€“ The contribution requirements of plan members and the City are established and may be amended by the City Council. The required contribution is based on projected payas-you-go financing requirements. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the City made $112,521 in contributions to the plan and all governmental funds with employees, General Fund, Arvada Center Fund, Parks Fund, Community Development Fund, Arvada Housing Fund and

Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation – The City’s annual other post-employment benefit (OPEB) cost is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities over a period of thirty years. The following table shows the components of the City’s annual OPEB cost for the year, the amount actually contributed to the plan, and changes in the City’s net OPEB obligation to the plan.

Funded Status and Funding Progress – At January 1, 2010, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the actuarial accrued liability (AAL) was $ 5,118,413 all of which was unfunded. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was $ 43,239,463 million, and the ratio of the unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) to the covered payroll was 11.8%. Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. These assumptions include among others, annual rates of payroll increases, healthcare cost trends, and mortality rates. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the City are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, presents trend information about the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions – Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan as understood by the City and plan members, and are based on the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of the benefit costs between the City and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the longterm perspective of the calculations. Significant methods and assumptions included the following:

Source: City of Arvada, Finance Department

Note: Increased Sales and Use Tax revenue for Fast Food Restaurants is tied to the increase in new fast casual style restaurants which opened in 2011. Grocery Chain Stores had an increase in Use Tax due to the initial construction phase of a large remodeling project for an 80th & Wadsworth location. Decreased Use Tax in Public Utilities from 2011 to 2010 relates to the replacement of infrastructure lines in 2010. The overall increase in Sales Tax revenue is reflected in several areas such as; General Department Stores in big box locations, a resurgence of car leases from 2010 and an increase in home improvement areas such as furniture, flooring and appliances. This report has been reformatted to reflect both Sales and Use Tax totals presented on a cash basis. Auto and Building Use taxes are reported on an accrual basis. The Miscellaneous category includes all businesses not listed in the above categories.

Note: Building permits decreased over the prior year due to a decrease in roof repairs and new construction. Pothole repairs decreased over the prior year due to the city's efforts on milling and overlay projects. This can be seen through the increase in street resurfacing miles over the prior year.
