Introductory Section Letter of Transmittal Government Finance Officers Association Certificate of Achievement City Officials Organizational Chart

June 20, 2014 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, 2013. 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 39, Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units and Statement 61, The Financial Reporting Entity, 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 109,157. THE ECONOMIC FACTORS OF 2013 While the Great Recession ended in 2009, the recovery from this recession has been slow for many state and local governments. The City fared better than many other governments during this period. However, this event exemplifies the need for continued long-term financial plans. The City uses a long-term financial plan that includes ten-year operating and capital improvement plans for all funds and also maintains adequate reserves in all major funds. The allocation of resources is then made in the context of “Taking Lasting Care”, “Building the Base” and “Investing in the Future” priorities. Along with the long-term planning, the City started a two-year process in 2013 to move from a line item divisional-based budget to a program-based departmental budget with 2-6 year strategic results. This process will be completed in 2014 with a go-live date of January 2015.

City of Arvada Letter of Transmittal Comprehensive Annual Financial Report Page 2 The City’s recovery from the Great Recession continued in 2013 with positive increases in sales and use tax collections, auto use tax and building use tax which all surpassed pre-recession levels. Sales tax receipts – which pay for over 50 percent of our general expenditures – increased by 5.9 percent over 2012 levels. Automobile sales were higher nationally and locally, generating over $6.2 million for the City, which is a 12 percent increase above 2012 and the third consecutive year of double digit growth. Building activity was once again much higher with the issuance of 427 single-family detached permits. This was a 133 percent increase over 2012 and the highest number since 1999. To put this in perspective, we issued a total of 64 single-family permits in all of 2009. While increased revenues show a positive picture, the City remained conservative and added few resources to ongoing expenditures other than normal inflationary increases. Ongoing capital maintenance continues to be a large part of the City’s expenditures. With our focus on “Taking Lasting Care” we again dedicated in 2013 over $5 million to be spent on street repairs. The Water and Wastewater Funds spent over $5.2 million replacing pipe, and the Parks Fund continues to upgrade and replace outdated playgrounds. Capital investments in our community continued in 2013 under the “Building the Base” priority. The City spent over $10.3 million in 2013 for various projects including the Ralston Central Park, Kipling Trail, Forest Springs Park, Spring Mesa Park, various tennis court renovations and the Sheridan Avenue Bridge replacement. Finally, Council set aside another $3.15 million to “Invest in the Future”. A large percentage of the additional money set aside by Council was generated by the increase in sales tax, use tax and building-related revenues. The $3.15 million will be added to the funds already reserved for transit improvements related to the Gold Line and the rail stop located in Olde Town Arvada. The three priorities all help to advance the City’s mission of “Continuing to Build a Great Community”. The Council and the employees of the City of Arvada, along with its citizens, show that they are dedicated to this with all of the programs and projects accomplished in 2013. 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, and two large home improvement stores: Home Depot and Lowes. All of these businesses continued to do well in 2013. As mentioned before, single-family home permits grew drastically in 2013. Many of these homes range from $300,000 to upwards of $650,000 and have been selling at a brisk pace. This not only helps our building-related revenues but is bringing additional sales and use tax to the City. As development continues, we will see additional pressures on resources such as police, and have already seen the additional demand on the planning and building departments driving the need to hire outside contract help with review and permitting. The City continues to focus on three major development/redevelopment areas. These are the “Ralston Fields” urban renewal area, the three rail station stops and the completion of the 470 beltway. Each one of these areas has its own challenges but each will have a major financial impact on the City in the years to come. The “Ralston Fields” area was established in 2003 by City Council as an economic development area. The first phase of redevelopment included the addition of a Target, Big 5 and many smaller retail restaurants and shops. With the addition of a 360-unit, multi-family project, the area has seen increased usage. The next phase of development will occur in the “triangle” area, recently named “Ralston Creek”. There are initial plans for a large anchor store with smaller retail positioned on the perimeter. The planning for this development will continue through 2014 with the goal of breaking ground in late 2014 or early 2015.

City of Arvada Letter of Transmittal Comprehensive Annual Financial Report Page 3 The three rail stations are in various planning stages with the Wadsworth Olde Town Station being the furthest along. The City, the Arvada Urban Renewal Authority and RTD recently agreed upon a final design for the garage, bus transfer facility and plaza space. This will be part of Phase 1 of the transit-oriented development. Phase 2 will include retail, office space and higher density residential, and should begin in the fall of 2016. The Kipling Station is located in the Ralston Fields redevelopment area and right next door to the large ongoing multifamily project. Finally, the Sheridan Station, with the completion of the new overpass bridge on Sheridan, will begin its planning process. Each one of these areas will benefit the City in the short term with retail sales tax and in the long term with added commercial and residential development. The completion of the 470 beltway will also have long-term implications. The final ten 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 2013, further discussions occurred with various entities about connectivity and various challenges. This is the last piece of a large transportation project that would connect I25 to I-70 west to the mountains. Overall, we continue to see 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 at a sustainable rate. FINANCIAL INFORMATION Pension Trust Funds: The City has three defined contribution programs for different types of employees: These are the 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 voluntary 457 programs where employees can place additional dollars for retirement on a tax-free basis. All three 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. The City also has one defined benefit plan that covers one fully vested participant that did not elect to participate in the Arvada Police Pension Plan that became effective in 1986. 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. 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 2014 budget. Appropriations for fiscal year 2014 will provide the authority to complete those transactions.

City of Arvada Letter of Transmittal Comprehensive Annual Financial Report Page 4 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 2013, 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 BKD, LLP, a firm of independent accountants, audited the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. 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, 2012. The City of Arvada has received this award for 29 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; Debra Nielson, Controller; and many people of their team. The production of the document was in the capable hands of Arlene Martinez, the Finance Department’s Executive Assistant, as well as Steve Milke and Bun Heng, the City’s Creative Services Design and Print Services staff.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants

Independent Auditor’s Report

Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council City of Arvada Arvada, Colorado Report on Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying basic financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the discretely presented component units, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Arvada (the City), as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, and the related notes to the basic financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility

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. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council City of Arvada

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 discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Arvada as of December 31, 2013, and the respective changes in financial position, budgetary comparisons, and cash flows, where applicable, thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Prior Year Audited by Other Auditors

The 2012 financial statements were audited by other auditors and their report thereon, dated June 20, 2013, expressed an unmodified opinion. Emphasis of Matter

As discussed in Note I to the financial statements, in 2013, the City adopted new accounting guidance Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities (GASB 65). Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter. Other Matters

Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the managementâ€™s discussion and analysis and pension information (schedule of funding progress) listed in the table of contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements.

We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Supplementary Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Cityâ€™s basic financial statements. The combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules and other supplementary information listed in the table of contents, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements.

Managementâ€™s Discussion and Analysis

CITY OF

ARVADA, COLORADO

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED) December 31, 2013

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, 2013. 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 position presents information on all of the City’s assets and deferred outflows of resources and liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases and decreases in net position 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 position has changed during the fiscal year that just ended. All changes in net position 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. 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. 13

CITY OF

ARVADA, COLORADO

MANAGEMENTâ€™S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED) December 31, 2013

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, and the General Capital Projects fund. These five 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 28-31 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 Food Services and Golf Course funds are not required to be reported 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 non-major proprietary funds is provided in the form of combining statements located within the supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements. 14

CITY OF

ARVADA, COLORADO

MANAGEMENTâ€™S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED) December 31, 2013

The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 36-38 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 39-40 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 41-72 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 position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government financial position. At the close of December 31, 2013, the Cityâ€™s assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $703,298,000. The following summaries of net position and changes in net position are presented for the current year and the previous year in comparison format.

For more detailed information, see the Statement of Net Position on page 25 of this report. By far the largest portion of the City’s Governmental net position, $262,131,000 (70%), 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 position, $19,018,000 (5%), represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net position, $92,089,000 (25%), may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to its citizens and creditors. The City’s total net position increased by $26,381,000 during the current fiscal year. This is due to an increase in the governmental activities of $8,497,000 and an increase in the business-type activities of $17,884,000. The increase is primarily due to contributed capital from developers and increases in user fees that will be used for current and future capital projects. 16

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED) December 31, 2013

Governmental activities. Governmental activities increased the City’s net position by $8,497,000. Key elements of this change are due to the following: • • • •

Capital contributions from developers amounted to $5,593,000 Sales and use tax collections were up $4,221,000 Investment earnings were down $464,000 Charges for services were down $1,151,000

Business-type activities. Business-type activities increased the City’s net position by $17,884,000. Key elements of this increase are due to the following: • •

Capital contributions from developers amounted to $8,887,000. The Water and Wastewater funds saw increases in tap fee revenues as a few new single-family home developments started construction during 2013. These tap fee revenues will be used for future capital needs.

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, 2013, 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 $871,000 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 $18,148,000 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 $14,953,000 in committed resources. 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 $38,314,000 in assigned resources. Unassigned – represents the remaining balance for the City’s General Fund. The City had $23,007,000 in unassigned resources. 20

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED) December 31, 2013

The General Fund is the main operating fund of the City. At December 31, 2013, the non-spendable fund balance was $640,000, the restricted fund balance was $2,028,000, and the unassigned fund balance was $23,007,000. The total fund balance increased $2,710,000 in 2013 to $25,675,000. On a budgetary basis, the General Fund finished over $5,618,000 to the good. Sales and Use tax came in $1,557,000 over budget. This represented an of 8.85% increase over 2012. The Community Development Fund is a major fund of the City. At December 31, 2013, the restricted fund balance was $1,368,000 and the assigned fund balance was $5,528,000. Total fund balance decreased $24,000 in 2013 to $6,896,000. This was caused by the usage of fund balance to offset program expenses. In some years, the demand for the Essential Home Repairs Program exceeds the allotted Federal dollars. When this happens, resources are pulled from the fund balance to help offset the demand. The Arvada Center Fund is a major fund of the City. At December 31, 2013, the non-spendable fund balance was $165,000, the restricted fund balance was $316,000 and the assigned fund balance was $165,000. The total fund balance increased $27,000 in 2013 to $646,000. The Parks Fund is a major fund of the City. At December 31, 2013, the non-spendable fund balance was $47,000, the restricted fund balance was $136,000 and the assigned fund balance was $4,117,000. The total fund balance increased $239,000 in 2013 to $4,300,000. This is primarily due to an increase in Jefferson County Open Space funds received. The General Capital Projects Fund is another major fund of the City. At December 31, 2013, the restricted fund balance was $1,849,000, the committed fund balance was $14,953,000 and the assigned fund balance was $28,504,000. The total fund balance increased $3,732,000 in 2013 to $45,306,000. This increase is related to transfers from other funds for some large multi-year projects. Examples of these projects are the Ralston Central Park, 2-3 year time period, and the East and South Central Park projects, three-year time periods and the Gold Line/TOD development, four-year time period. 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 position balances of the City’s proprietary funds (including the major enterprise funds) are reflected in the following table:

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES Year ended December 31, 2013 (in thousands) Net change in fund balances â€“ total government funds (page 30) Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However in the statement of activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which capital outlay exceeded depreciation in the current period. Capital outlay Depreciation expense Disposal of capital assets Excess of capital outlay expense over depreciation Debt proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental funds, but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the statement of net position. Repayment of debt principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the statement of net position.

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) – 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) – 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. The Council is governed by a Board which is appointed by the Arvada City Council. Separate audited financial statements for the Arts Council are not prepared. Discrete Component Units Arvada Urban Renewal Authority (AURA) – 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, Jefferson Center Metropolitan District (JCMD), Village Commons, Olde Town Station and Northwest Arvada. The governing body of the AURA is a commission of seven members, appointed by the

CITY OF

ARVADA, COLORADO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2013

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 AURA. 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 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 six members of the board. B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position 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 is 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2013

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 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 related to performing arts, development, marketing, education and gallery at the Arvada Center. Sources of revenue include grants, charges for services and transfer from the Cityâ€™s General Fund.

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

CITY OF

ARVADA, COLORADO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2013

derived from the City’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. 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. It 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 City’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 City’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. 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

CITY OF

ARVADA, COLORADO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2013

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, Deferred Inflows of Resources 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2013

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 Position, residual balances between governmental and business type activities are reflected as internal balances. Receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles, 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 inflow of resources. The City records non-current receivables for interfund and other long-term notes on the Statement of Net Position of its Proprietary Fund Types. Within the governmental funds, all non-current receivables are fully offset by deferred inflow of resource 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 position 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 first applies restricted resources when an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net position 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. Certain assets of the Capital Projects fund are restricted because their use is restricted for use by specified projects. 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 48

CITY OF

ARVADA, COLORADO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2013

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. 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 and proprietary 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 position. Debt premiums and discounts 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. 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) Deferred Inflows and Outflows of Resources A deferred inflow of resources is an acquisition of net position that is applicable to a future reporting period. A deferred outflow of resources is a consumption of net position that is applicable to future reporting period. The City did not have a deferred outflow of resources during 2013. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues and other fund financial resources are recognized in the period in which they become measurable and available. Assets recorded in the fund financial statements in which revenues are not available are recorded as 49

CITY OF

ARVADA, COLORADO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2013

a deferred inflow of resources. Property tax receivables are reported as a deferred inflow of resources when levied in the fund statements. Deferred inflows of resources include property tax, grants receivable, and notes receivable that are unavailable in the fund statements but are recognized as revenue in the governmentwide statements. 9) Fund Equity The City previously 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 governmental 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 the inability to be spent such as inventories and prepaids. 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 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 for specific purposes through ordinance or resolution adopted by the City Council. This classification also includes contractual obligation to the extent that existing resources in the fund have been specifically committed for use in satisfying contractual requirements. 4. Assigned – fund balance that can be spent for specific purposes authorized by the City Manager. 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:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2013

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 position as net position â€“ 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. 11) 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 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. Expenditures/Expenses in Excess of Appropriation For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Golf Fund expenditures exceeded the amounts budgeted by $36,000. This may be violation of state statue. C. 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 52

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2013

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, 2013, the City's cash deposits had a carrying value of $31,842,030. The bank balances were $34,601,518 of which $1,035,646 was covered by federal deposit insurance and $33,565,872 was collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial institution’s trust department or agent in the City’s name. Cash with fiscal agent had a balance of $36,637,784. These funds are held in escrow for the Gross Reservoir Enlargement project with Denver Water. These funds are invested in instruments which follow the City’s investment policies and procedures. 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, 2013, 54

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2013

the City's investments in the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), and Federal Farm Credit Bank (FFCB) are 37.22%, 5.80%, 19.58% and 24.7% 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 possess overall financial strength, capitalization and liquidity to ensure the safety and availability of such monies. The assessment of this overall financial strength shall be made applying generally accepted industry standards (i.e. capital requirements, asset quality, earnings and liquidity) using available public agency and private rating services as appropriate. Local Government Investment Pool At December 31, 2013, the City had invested in 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. Money Market Funds As of December 31, 2013, the City invested in the PFM Funds Prime Series, Colorado Investors Class, a money market mutual fund (marketed as the Colorado Statewide Investment Program or CSIP). The Prime Series is a separate investment portfolio of PFM Funds (the Trust). The Trust is an open-end, diversified, management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The PFM Funds Prime Series invests in obligations of the United States Government and its agencies, high quality debt obligations of U.S. companies and obligations of financial institutions and is rated AAAm by Standard & Poor’s. PFM Asset Management, LLC serves as the investment advisor, administrator and transfer agent. Shares of the Fund are distributed by PFM Fund Distributors, Inc., member Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). U.S. Bank N.A. serves as the custodian and acts as safekeeping agent.

AURA's investment policy follows State statutes, but places additional limits on investment maturities and custodial credit risk. Interest Rate Risk – AURA'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, 2013, AURA's investment in the Dreyfus Government Cash Management money market fund of $1,601,457 was rated AAA by Moody’s and have a weighted average maturity of less than one year. Custodial Credit Risk – AURA'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 AURA 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 $350,000 per person and $990,000 per accident. Property damage is subject to a $100,000 deductible and liability insurance a $250,000 self-insured retention (SIR). Effective April 1, 2013 the Workersâ€™ Compensation program maintains a self-insured retention limit of $500,000. 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 under workersâ€™ compensation has been reported that exceeded the then effective SIR. Premiums are paid by each department into the Insurance Fund (internal service) to pay claims, claim reserves, loss control 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 $1,500/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, 2013. If any costs are disallowed in the future, the City expects them to be insignificant. 3) AURA Commitment Developer Agreements AURA 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, AURA 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 AURA 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: AURA 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: AURA and the PIC are to remit 25% of property taxes and PIF, derived from the Retail Sales Operation back to the Retail Sales Operation up to a maximum of $3 million. The agreement allows AURA 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, 2013, $3 million had been paid to the Retail Sales Operation. • The District: The AURA 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, AURA 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 AURA 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, 2013, or $11,935,000) or (b) September 30, 2028, AURA’s obligations to

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2013

the District will terminate. As of December 31, 2013, $2,325,929 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, 2013 was $25,159. 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, AURA 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. AURA, 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 AURA 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 AURA shall be utilized by AURA in furtherance of urban renewal plans. With respect to the Jefferson Center Urban Renewal Plan, AURA’s obligations under this agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (a) the payment in full of all JCMD obligations th (bonds outstanding as of December 31, 2013, of $34,175,000), or (b) the date 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, AURA’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, 2013, of $34,175,000), supported by Northwest Area Property Taxes or to which Northwest Area Property Taxes are pledged, or th (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 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, 2013, there was 1 Industrial Revenue Bond, 973 single and multi-family Mortgage Bonds, 157 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 $19.3

CITY OF

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2013

million. The unpaid balance on the Mortgage Credit Certificates is $20.4 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, 2013. 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 City does not issue a stand-alone financial report for the plan. 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, 2013, the net assets held in trust were $365,090. No contributions were made by the participant or the City for the year ended December 31, 2011. The City has budgeted $20,000 per year starting in 2012 to fund the unfunded actuarial liability. In 2012 and 2013, the City did contribute $20,000 to the plan. 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, the City Attorney, the Municipal Judge and Department Heads are eligible to participate in CARP. 497 employees were participants in the plan as of December 31, 2013. Employer contributions vest with the employee according to the following: Years of Service Less than 1 year 1 year 2 years 3 years 4 years 5 or more years

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 $51,000 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 $3,878,126 and the required employee contributions of $2,475,925 were paid during 2013. Additional employee contributions, in the form of rollovers, of $72,125 were also made in 2013. The required contributions represent 12.53% 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 Purchase Plan (PMPP). In a defined contribution plan, benefits depend solely on amounts 69

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. 163 employees were participants as of December 31, 2013. The required contributions for the City and PMPP employees amounted to $1,289,144 each (10% of covered payroll). There were forfeitures of $52,132 also contributed on the employee side, bringing the total employee contributions to $1,341,276. 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, the City Attorney, the Municipal Judge and Department Heads 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 2013. 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, 2013 the City contributed $178,662 for the benefit of the 12 participants in the Plan and the employees contributed $164,422. There were also additional voluntary employee contributions of $16,348. 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, 2013, the City made $131,861 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 Police Tax Increment Funds, contributed to this number. Plan members are required to contribute their share of the premiums. 70

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, 2014, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the actuarial accrued liability (AAL) was $ 5,332,419 all of which was unfunded. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was $ 45,053,303 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: • •

Actuarial Valuation Date – January 1, 2014 Actuarial Cost Method – Projected Unit Credit 71

F. Related Party Notes In February 2010, the City and AURA entered into a promissory note in which the City loaned AURA $2,745,000 at a simple interest rate of 3.5% for 2 years. Interest payments are due monthly. The loan is due and payable in full on April 1, 2014. The loan was collateralized with a building and two parcels of land. In November 2013, The City and AURA entered into a promissory note in which the City loaned AURA $2,000,000 at a simple interest rate of 3.0% for 2 years. Interest payments are due monthly. The loan is due and payable in full on November 14, 2016. The loan was collateralized with a building and a parcel of land. G. Subsequent Event In May of 2014, the City and AURA agreed to extend their intergovernmental loan agreement in the amount of $2,745,000 an additional year with a new maturity date of April 1, 2015. All of the other terms of the agreement have stayed the same.

H. GASB Statement 65 The City adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 65 (GASB Statement 65) which establishes accounting and financial reporting standards that reclassify, as deferred outflows of resources or deferred inflows of resources, certain items that were previously reported as assets and liabilities. GASB Statement 65 also provides other financial reporting guidance related to the impact of the financial statement elements deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources, such as limiting the use of the term “deferred” in financial statement presentations. Adoption of GASB Statement 65 resulted in a decrease in net position as of January 1, 2013 of $680,000. $533,000 of this decrease was related to Governmental type activities and Business-type activities which was a decrease of $147,000 for the Water Fund. Both of these changes resulted from the GASB Statement 65 requirement that debt issuance costs be recognized as an expense in the period incurred. Other changes include the reclassification of the following items to deferred inflows of resources: property tax and assets in the fund statements for which revenues are not available.

This increase was led by the continued success of the remodeled grocery store at 80th and Wadsworth. The Miscellaneous category showed a 7.5% increase over 2012. Furniture Store sales, which are included in the Miscellaneous category, showed the largest gains with a 7.5% increase. Total use tax, which is comprised of General, Building, and Automotive use taxes, showed a substantial increase, 17.93% in 2013. Spurred by the increased activity in the housing market, building use tax has continued to increase over the last three years showing a 25.9% increase in 2013.
