Overview

2016 Year-End Report The Financial Report for the City of Arvada provides an unaudited overview of the major funds and how their revenues and expenditures performed in comparison to budget. This is not meant to be a complete accounting, but rather a quick look at the highlights.

The year began with the stock market experiencing its worst two-week start in history. Concerns with the global economy, plunging oil prices and fears of interest rate hikes led to a large sell-off in the major indices. With this decline, the Federal Reserve decided in February to postpone the scheduled interest rate hike. This decision led to renewed confidence and a surge in both the US economy and the markets. June brought more uncertainty with the successful Brexit vote. While the experts expected a pullback, the economy and the markets once again shrugged off the decision and continued to move forward.

The presidential election results in November sparked a rally in the markets, pushing the Dow Jones over 20,000 for the first time in history. In December, OPEC’s decision to cut production sent oil prices to $55 a barrel and the Federal Reserve raised interest rates 25 basis points, only the second increase in the past ten years.

General Fund revenues grew 3.5% over the same time period in 2015, marking the fifth consecutive year of growth (2012-2016). Every major revenue source experienced some level of increase, led again by building revenues.

Overall sales tax revenues were up 5.4% over the same time period in 2015. Fueled by increased population and the remittance of sales tax on internet sales, 2016 continued a growth pattern that began in 2009. The major categories of General Department Stores, Retail Hardware, and Furniture, Appliances and Flooring again performed well, all experiencing more than 8.2% year-over-year growth. The category of Public Utilities and Cable TV did under-perform in 2016, losing 3.6%.

Locally, building activity continued to grow, fueled by low interest rates, population growth and the strong Colorado economy. In 2016, over 977 building permits were issued consisting of 739 single-family detached, 121 single-family attached, 61 duplex, 20 multi-family and 36 commercial. For reference, the lowest number of permits issued was in 2009 with a total of 102. Total building revenues increased 23.8% over 2015.

Much to the surprise of industry experts, new vehicle sales in the United States exceeded 2015’s record numbers. Almost everyone was expecting some sort of reduction. The City of Arvada surpassed the $7 million mark in auto use collections for the first time in history. This source did exceed the budget and represents the seventh consecutive year of growth (2010-2016). All signs point to 2016 as being a high-water mark for auto sales with an expected pullback for 2017.

Investment revenue exceeded 1% return for the first time since 2011, finishing the year at 1.005% or 23 basis points higher than 2015. The City’s portfolio outperformed its composite benchmark and has experienced consistent improvement for the past four years. With two to three anticipated interest rate hikes for 2017, improved yield should continue.

Parks has an interesting challenge managing the City of Arvada’s inventory of recreation assets. A large part of the Parks system is now over 30 years old.

Playground equipment, irrigation systems and recreational needs and wants have changed. The update and renovation began in 2016 with Homestead and Terrace Parks. These efforts will continue for many years to come.

As was mentioned in 2014 and again in 2015, a tight rental market has reduced the number of families the housing authority is able to assist. At the end of 2016, 484 families out of a possible 508 were receiving Section 8 housing subsidies. Until something changes, either at the federal level for funding or in the local rental market, the housing authority will struggle to help the maximum allowable families.

The much-anticipated opening of the Regional Transportation District G Line in October that runs through Arvada and terminates in Wheat Ridge did not happen. Until the continued problems with the software controlling the crossing gates at intersections along the A and B Lines is corrected, the Federal Railroad Administration will not allow further testing along the G Line. There is no estimate for a new opening date. The good news is that the parking structure, referred to as the Olde Town Hub, is open, and visitors to Olde Town are enjoying the additional access to parking.

The City presented two ballot issues to the voters in November - 2G and 2H. 2G was a proposed ½ cent sales and use tax increase and 2H was a proposed repeal of senate bill 152 related to broadband. 2G failed with 56% of the voters opposing the measure and 2H passed with 72% of the voters approving the measure.

The additional sales and use tax was to be spent on maintaining and improving the City’s street and sidewalk infrastructure. City leadership, along with Council, has committed to redirecting current and future operational funds to try and close the almost $10 million dollar annual funding gap in order to meet these infrastructure needs. This will be a focus throughout the next two-year budget and ten-year financial planning cycle.

The City of Arvada has fully recovered from the Great Recession and continues to be in a growth cycle. Local unemployment is at historical lows, ending December at 2.5%! Explosive growth in the western section of the city, continued investment in Olde Town, transit-oriented development around the three train stations, and commercial and business growth have all contributed in pushing Arvada to new heights. Additional resources generated over the 2016 budget, referred to as one-time revenue, will be reinvested back into the community in the form of capital projects and streets infrastructure. Staff has begun work with City Council to identify new Strategic Results that will support the changing City needs.

General Fund Overview

General Fund

The General Fund pays for the City’s basic services. This includes police, street maintenance, planning, transportation planning, street light maintenance and costs, building activity and general administration. In addition, the General Fund also provides for the following: • Operational support to the Parks Fund and Arvada Economic Development Association • General Debt Service payments • Transfer to the Capital Improvements Fund for new parks, transportation and other infrastructure projects • Grant support to the Arvada Center

The following table provides a comparison of budgeted fund balances, revenues and expenditures to actual amounts in 2016. We have included the original 2016 budget adopted in October 2015 and the 2016 revised budget, which was a result of the ten-year financial planning model that was completed in the third quarter 2016 and adopted by council in the fourth quarter 2016.

The General Fund will end 2016 with a fund balance of a little over $27 million, after the Council-required fund balance reserve of 17.0%. Some of this balance, $2,671,402, will be used for items not completed in 2016. Another portion, $5,583,500 will be dedicated towards one-time items. Additionally, $1,000,000 will be used for items related to the Olde Town Transit Hub and $3,000,000 will be used for the streets maintenance program. The remaining amount will be used towards ongoing operations to help balance the 10-year financial plan and maintain the Council-required 17.0% fund balance reserve.

Revenue Highlights 2016 was an outstanding year for revenue production in the General Fund. All revenue categories were up over 2015 and all sources except use tax, court fines and fees and franchise fees exceeded their budgets. As you will see on the following pages, sales tax and building-related revenues led the way with increases of 5.4% and 23.8%, respectively, over 2015. Overall, revenues experienced a 3.5% increase over 2015 and finished $9.8 million dollars over the revised budget. A large percentage of this revenue is considered one-time, not able to support ongoing operations, and will be used towards one-time expenditures as mentioned above.

GENERAL FUND REVENUES Sales Tax 49.1%

Property Tax 6.2%

Use Tax 1.5%

Auto Use Tax 7.9%

Other 14.9% Interest 0.9% Franchise Fees 4.8%

Sales Tax The close of 2016 marks seven straight years of sales tax revenue increases. In 2016, sales tax collections increased 5.4% over 2015.

Grocery stores and general department stores increased 2.4% and 8.2%, respectively, over 2015. These two categories account for 35.7% of total sales tax. The increase in general department stores is primarily due to several companies that are collecting sales tax on internet sales. Other large categories which include retail hardware, restaurants, furniture/appliances/flooring,auto care/leasing and liquor, all showed increases over 2015. Utilities/ cable, telephone equipment and office supplies were the only categories that showed decreases over the prior year. The utilities/ cable category decreased primarily due to the warmer weather during the spring and fall of 2016.

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

General use tax is a stable source of revenue; however in 2016 there was a decrease in use tax. The decrease in this source of use tax was covered by the increases in auto and building use tax.

Auto use tax collections increased 2.7% over 2016. While the increase in auto use tax may seem low, this year follows fours years of double-digit increases in auto use tax and represents record collections in this category.

Building use tax is up 30.3% from 2015 due to new home construction, primarily in northwest Arvada, and around the light rail stations. Several commercial developments, including Walmart, Hilton Garden Inn and Solana contributed to this increase.

Property Tax The City’s property tax rate is 4.31 mills per $100 of valuation. In Colorado, the mill rate is placed on the assessed valuation. The following graph illustrates the year-to-date collections for the current and past four years.

Property tax collections in 2016 were 19.6% ahead of 2015. The increase is primarily due to the increase in assessed valuations in 2015. Real property is only appraised every odd-numbered year and there is a lag in tax collections, so the City didn’t see the increase in tax collections until 2016. This increase has been incorporated into the City’s 10-year financial plan. However, in 2017 the assessment rate for residential properties, currently at 7.96%, will drop to 6.56% due to the Gallagher Amendment. This change will reduce much of the increase that occurred in 2016.

R. Adler

This category is made up of two revenue sources: Highway Users Trust Fund (HUTF), which is the City’s share of Statecollected motor fuel tax revenue, and Road and Bridge, which is the City’s share of property tax collected by Jefferson County and dedicated to the maintenance of roads and bridges. In 2016, this revenue is almost the same as 2015.

While these revenue sources are stable, they have not increased at the same pace as the cost of street maintenance; therefore, other General Fund revenues have had to fill the gap, reducing resources for other services.

Expenditure Highlights Total expenditures show savings of over $6 million. Unspent JPPHA funds in the amount of $284,254, personnel and benefit savings of $789,762, and carryovers of $2,387,148, make up a portion of this savings. Another $1,982,720 in savings was seen in the transfers line as the in-kind transfer to the Arvada Center was moved to the services and charges line item. The remaining dollars are spread across all of the major expenditure categories, as departments did a good job of monitoring their budgets and spending appropriately in 2016.

Total Overtime Expenditures cleared $1 million for the first time since 2008, which included an 11.6% increase in Public Safety versus 2015. Persistently high vacancy rates in the Police Department were the major drivers behind the increase, with the department’s increased participation in grant-funded Overtime reimbursement programs also playing a role. Temporary Wages remained elevated over historic levels again in 2016 due primarily to the use of independent contractors by Public Works to help manage the construction of the Olde Town Transit Hub. Total Personnel expenditures were up 1.8% over 2015 but still under budget by 1.6%.

PARKS FUND

Parks Fund

Parks Fund

Overview The Parks Fund accounts for costs associated with the acquisition, design, development, maintenance and beautification of parks, open space and trails within the City. Revenues are derived from the City’s General Fund, Grants Fund, Apex and Jefferson County Open Space funds.

Revenue Highlights

Parks Fund

In 2016, Arvada Parks’ two most important revenue sources exceeded amounts compared to the same period in 2015. City-attributable Jefferson County Open Space Funds were 5.6% greater in 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015 and the transfer from the City’s General Fund to Arvada Parks was 3.8% greater. Reimbursement from the Apex Park and Recreation District for maintenance services provided was .8% greater than revenues collected in 2015 but below the budgeted number. These revenues, along with other revenue sources derived from the Majestic View Nature Center and Arvada Festivals programs, resulted in total revenue exceeding the 2016 budget.

Special Revenue Funds

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

.21 and .25 Tax Increment Funds

Tax Increment Funds

Beginning Fund Balance

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

REVENUES Sales Tax/Audit Revenue Use Tax Other Total Revenues EXPENDITURES Ongoing

Revenue Highlights

Capital

Sales tax in 2016 reflects an increase of 5.0% and Use tax an increase of 10.4% from 2015. Other Revenue has increased a total of 207.2% or $435,682 from 2015 for personnel and overtime reimbursements. This increase is attributed to strong continued partnerships with organizations such as: CDOT High-Visibility Enforcement and Law Enforcement Fund for DUI enforcement, Federal and State of Colorado Justice Assistance Grants (JAG), CommunityOriented Policing Services (COPS), a hiring grant related to personnel costs, and High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) for drug surveillance and seizures.

Expenditure Highlights

R. Assmus

2016 salaries and benefits increased 3.1% from 2015 while overtime increased 11.4% over the same time period. These costs were offset by partnerships that were developed for overtime reimbursements. Ongoing costs are up 3.4% in comparison to 2015, but are under budget in total. Costs related to software have increased due to our participation with the Colorado Information Sharing Consortium (CISC) and Lumen software, which provides the ability to share information with other metro area law enforcement agencies. Go Bags, which were partially grant funded, were provided to all police officers with supplies helpful to first responders in the event of an active shooter situation. These kits provide additional resources such as ammunition, relevant equipment, and medical supplies. Fourteen vacant police officer positions were filled in the 4th quarter of 2016. The remaining Capital budget will be carried over into 2017 to complete fencing around the patrol cars lot, Charlie sector locker room remodel and the re-configuration of the records office.

REVENUES

Revenue Highlights

Recovered

Due to some substantial deferred loan payments received in 2016, the Recovered Revenues were over budget. Because of the additional loan payments, the City was limited in how much it could draw from HUD in 2016, which caused Grant Revenue to be under budget. The City Cash Transfer represents HODAG funds that were transferred in 2015 for sidewalk improvements along West 60th Avenue between Lamar Street and Sheridan Boulevard. It turned out that these funds were not needed, and so were therefore transferred back to HODAG.

Grants

EXPENDITURES Ongoing Essential Home Repairs Total Expenditures

Expenditure Highlights

Income/(Loss)

The difference between budget and actual in ongoing expenditures is due to funds that were budgeted for ICAST and were not used. The variance from budget in the Essential Home Repairs program is due to a variety of projects that did not proceed as expected in 2016. The fourth quarter alone saw four planned projects that did not get started or were not completed in the time frame expected.

Arvada Housing Authority Overview

The Authority administers funds received for rent subsidy to low/moderate income households under Section 8 of the U.S. Housing Assistance Payment Program.

Revenue Highlights The slight increase in revenues is due to increased rents in the Denver market, thus increasing the costs to the authority which increased Grant funding received for 2016.

Arvada Housing

Expenditure Highlights

REVENUES

As of December 31, the Arvada Housing Authority was assisting 484 families with monthly rent subsidies out of a maximum of 508. This is an increase from the 471 families receiving rent subsidies during the same period in 2015. The subsidies represent approximately 90.0% of the Authority’s overall expenditures. The increase in Rents is due to the increase in average rent costs in the Denver housing market.

Revenue Highlights In 2016, the majority of the revenue in the CIP fund consisted of transfers from the General Fund. Other revenues included transfers from the Lands Dedicated Fund, developer contributions, grants, park development fees and interest income.

Expenditure Highlights Expenditures in the third quarter include such projects as the Kipling underpass, quiet zones, Ridge Road bicycle/pedestrian improvements and Terrace and Homestead parks. The Olde Town Hub accounts for the majority of the expenditures in this fund as it nears completion.

Project Highlights In 2016, the City invested over $34 million in infrastructure improvements. Almost half of this was spent on the Olde Town Hub which opened in February 2017.

Although the opening of the Regional Transportation District’s G Line is delayed, the hub is providing much-needed parking to the Olde Town area, which is growing in popularity as a place to visit due to the variety of restaurants and retail establishments.

The City also invested in new streets and bicycle and pedestrian improvements that will allow the residents of Arvada easier access to the G Line stations. The completion of West 56th Avenue, Kipling Street Underpass and Ridge Road improvements will improve access. In addition, the City completed four quiet zones on railroad intersections. With these quiet zones, trains will no longer be required to blow their horns while crossing intersections, which is a common complaint from residents and businesses in the areas of these crossing intersections.

Access to park amenities earns consistently high ratings in the City’s citizen survey. In 2016, the City renovated Homestead and Terrace Parks to encourage residents to enjoy a more active lifestyle. There are many older parks in the City which are in need of renovation. The City invested over $700,000 to renovate three parks with new play areas, benches and trash receptacles, and replaced an aging computer irrigation system, which plays a key role in managing water usage in the parks, medians and facilities.

Reserved Funds Even though the level of spending on capital projects was over $34 million, there is still over $13 million reserved for future projects and $8 million in grant revenue that will also supplement these projects.

Future Work In 2016, the City Council approved the reconstruction and widening of the intersection of West 72nd Avenue and Indiana Street and the remodel of the West Woods Golf Clubhouse. More information on the status of these two projects will occur in 2017.

As for Other Revenues, the sale of the Ward Road Ponds in early 2016 greatly contributed to the high total. Sales of water for construction purposes, as well as water meters, also came in well above budget.

Expenditure Highlights Much of the remaining budget in Capital Expenditures includes funding for the Gross Reservoir Expansion, construction on which is yet to begin. Major Capital Maintenance Expenditures came in under budget due to the timing of payments on contract work, with Utilities intending to request a substantial carryover for main replacements into 2017.

Wastewater Fund Overview The Wastewater Fund accounts for all activities necessary in the collection, transmission and disposal of sewage and wastewater.

As with Water Taps, Sewer Tap Fee Revenues remain substantially elevated, with 2015 being the third consecutive year of Tap Fee Revenue above $1,000,000.

Sewer Charges for 2016 were down compared to budget and flat compared to 2015.

Expenditure Highlights Ongoing Expenditures include a $5 million loan made by the Wastewater Fund to AURA approved by Council in May of 2016. The year-over-year drop in Metro Wastewater charges was due to the calculation methodology utilized by the District. This year’s charges were set by budget in June of 2015, which were adjusted down based on actual usages in 2014. Major Capital Maintenance Expenditures came in under budget due to the timing of payments on contract work, with Utilities intending to request a substantial carryover for main replacements into 2017.

Golf Fund Overview The Golf Course Fund accounts for all revenues and expenses of the Lake Arbor and West Woods Golf Courses, including food service operations.

Revenue Highlights In 2016, Arvada Golf total revenue was approximately 2.5% less as compared to the same period in 2015. Revenue from golf operations is approximately 3.7% below 2015 levels, and golf restaurant revenue is approximately 0.8% below 2015 levels. A decrease in total rounds played is the cause of the decline in total revenues. Concentrated sales efforts, focused marketing and increased tournament rounds could not offset the decline in overall rounds, resulting from poor weather, in the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter of 2016.

Hospitality Fund Overview The Hospitality 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 off-site catering.

Revenue Highlights

Hospitality Fund

In 2016, Arvada Events at the Arvada Center exceeded 2015 revenues by over $170,000. In 2016, Arvada Events served 37 more groups than served in 2015, representing an increase of over 4,700 guests. Arvada Events at the Arvada Center contributes this increase to a combination of having a full sales staff, concentrated sales efforts, new website, focused marketing, economic recovery, increased brand identity and, finally, excellent customer service. Concession revenue is down approximately 73.4% as operations were transferred to the Arvada Center nonprofit on July 1, 2016.

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

Internal Service Funds

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

Revenue Highlights Contributions for 2016 have decreased 4.3% from 2015 due to the Arvada Center moving to the non-profit entity as of July 1, 2016. The Other revenue category is made up of interest and recovered costs. This category was over budget due to a larger number of subrogations on insurance claims.

Expenditure Highlights The year saw an 11.5% increase in Administration expenditures due to higher dollar workers compensation claims and the payout of some lump sum payments for complex claims that were initiated in prior years. In addition, there was a large property claim at the Lake Arbor Golf Course for netting damage due to the blizzard in March. 2016 saw reductions in auto physical damage, with fewer City vehicles damaged, and in general liability as expenditures in 2015 included payments for the December 2014 sewer backup on 76th Avenue.

Computer Fund & Print Services Fund Overview The Computer Fund provides resources for both ongoing maintenance and replacement of the City’s computers, network hardware, and other electronic infrastructure. It is funded with contributions by all City departments based on their levels of use of this technology. The Print Services Fund provides ongoing capital support for the City’s printing needs. Because these two funds operate to support combined activities within the Innovation and Technology Department, the financial reporting is combined for these two funds.

Revenue Highlights Revenues in the Information Technology Fund have remained on track for 2016. The excess of $394,000 from the planned budget was due to reimbursements for functions related to the Police Dispatch Center, Technology Security, and other business system needs. Print Shop revenues are down 1.8% compared to 2015 and almost 19.5% compared to budget.

Expenditure Highlights Expenditures for the replacement and maintenance of technology systems covered under the Information Technology Fund remained under the allocated budget.

Proper planning for the upgrade and replacement of a few large systems - specifically the Enterprise Backup System and upgrades to the Police CAD/RMS - took longer than expected. These expenditures will be moved into 2017. There were also a few unplanned expenses related to the Document Imaging System, GIS System and HR System in the fourth quarter of 2016. These systems all had funds currently saved or transferred into the Information Technology Fund to cover the expenses. Increases in maintenance costs for some technologies were presented to the Budget Committee for the 2017-2018 Budget. The City is seeing new costing models based on capacity and/or performance of certain systems. Appropriate planning is being done to make adjustments to technology in order to stay within the revenues appropriated.

The Print Shop expenditure budget remained on track for 2016 and was able to meet the needs of City operations. Starting in 2017, the management of the Print Shop will be moved to the Community and Civic Engagement program within the City Manager’s Office as the functions provided by the Print Shop are better aligned with the overall function of both employee and external communications.

Expenditure Highlights The Capital Lease Expenditures represent payments per an agreement with Siemens Building Technologies in 2004 for energy-efficiency improvements at various City facilities. The term of this lease expired in 2016. Several HVAC replacements scheduled for the past couple of years are being deferred to 2017 in order to exploit better pricing with economies of scale. This represents the gap between the Replacement Budget and Actual.

Arvada Economic Development Association (AEDA) Overview 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. AEDA is funded by a transfer from the General Fund for services it renders to the City and its citizens. The City also provides administrative support for AEDA. A Board of Directors appointed by City Council governs AEDA.

Revenue Highlights Revenue in the AEDA Operations Fund consists of a transfer from the general fund equal to the personnel and operating expenditures and interest income.

Expenditure Highlights In most years, revenues and expenditures are budgeted at the same levels.

In 2016, the year-end expenditure appropriation was increased to include a $200,000 one-time new business development grant and $75,000 for a new sales tax licensing module (which was subsequently postponed).

The increased expenditures were paid from the fund balance. Operating expenditures in 2016 are lower than budget, primarily due to reduced spending in professional services, training, printing and postage.

Revenue Highlights Revenues in 2016 consist of a cash contribution from the City of Arvada for $500,000 and interest income.

Expenditure Highlights Expenditures in 2016 reflect 29 AEDA small business grants. The grants were used to help Arvada businesses improve signage, landscaping, facades, and various site improvements.

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

City of Arvada Investment Report

Investment Portfolio Overview The yields in the first half of 2016 were moving in the downward trajectory until they hit bottom in July after the Brexit vote. A 10-year Treasury note yield dropped nearly 85 basis points (bps) in the first six months of the year. Lower interest rates triggered a wave of investment calls. As a result, $88 million of callable securities in the City’s portfolio have been redeemed. The second half of 2016 looked a lot more optimistic even though the presidential elections added more uncertainty and volatility into the markets. With all the events taking place domestically and globally, the Federal Reserve’s early projections of three interest rate hikes in 2016 did not happen. Instead, the federal funds target rate was raised only once in December.

In 2016, the City’s portfolio saw a year-to-date yield of 1.005%, an increase of 23 bps compared to 2015. This increase translates into $1,822,678 in total investment revenues for 2016. The City’s portfolio continues to grow year over year. The portfolio’s net assets increased from the prior year’s level by more than $6 million. Portfolio composition has changed significantly during the year. The goal was to get better diversification between all types of allowable securities.

We have increased holdings in corporate notes to pick up higher yield on the shorter end of maturities. We also reallocated a portion of the Federal Agencies to US Treasuries, which offer higher liquidity and better value in the tight spread trading environment. The City’s portfolio outperformed its composite benchmark by 9 bps. From the chart on the next page, we can see a steady improvement in the portfolio’s yield in the past four years. We anticipate this trend to continue as the rates keep rising.

Investment Management Focus - 2017 In December, the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates by 25 basis points (bps) to a range of 0.50-0.75%. The FOMC also released a forecast for three rate hikes in 2017. However, market participants currently expect a more modest rise. A slow pace of rate hikes is consistent with our stance for a neutral duration for our portfolio.

We will continue to focus on diversification of maturities. We will keep a portion of our portfolio in LGIP, money markets, and cash balances at levels to meet operating needs and capture attractive interest rates. We will continue to use a blended strategy, which calls for emphasis in short-term positions as well as some long-term positions (five years in the City’s case), but also staggering maturities in between to smooth the revenue stream. This will allow ample cash should the City experience unexpected needs and allow us to take advantage of better coupons in longer maturity buckets.

As interest rates rose, Federal Agency spreads widened modestly in December from near their tightest levels in 2016. Callables will get better yield: Call provisions are a tool used by issuers to refinance debt at a more attractive rate. Our focus will be to purchase callable securities with a call “lockout” period of one year. A combination of callable and non-callable securities will allow us to enhance investment income over the LGIP funds and not to subject the City’s portfolio to excessive turnover if interest rates fall.

Performance

With attention to the City’s emphasis on setting and measuring organizational objectives, this Performance section has been created with the intent that it will highlight just a few of these many goals. This data is used to analyze and understand the effects of strategical decisions, which in turn allows leadership and management to respond to the changing needs of our community and our customers.

The ultimate intent is for the City to continue its efforts to achieve and maintain service excellence by building a datadriven, results-oriented, customer-focused and responsive organization and, in doing so, to be responsible stewards of our valuable resources.
