Introduction Over a hundred and years ago, the small 11 block Town of Strother straddled the Missouri Pacific Railroad tracks. Today, that small town consists of 65.24 square miles and is known as the City of Lee's Summit. In the late 1800's, a man by the name of William B. Howard was drawn to this fertile, gently rolling prairie land with the dream of building a city. Today, nearly 93,000 residents have been enticed to this progressive, yet restful and family-oriented community atmosphere, with a unified dream to create a dynamic, vital city. From yesterday to today, the story of this once small town has been filled with the courage, dedication, and quiet determination of its citizens, making Lee's Summit an ideal city in which to live and work.

On October 28, 1865, William B. Howard founded the Town of Strother by filing a plat containing the 11 blocks that currently encompass the downtown business district. At the time of incorporation, the population count stood at one hundred people. In November of 1868, the name was changed and the area incorporated as the "Town of Lee's Summit". Although the "Summit" portion of the name was obviously based on the fact the town's elevation is the highest point on the railroad between Kansas City and St. Louis, there are numerous opinions and theories on the origin of "Lee". According to one theory, the town was named after Civil War General Robert E. Lee, since incorporation took place shortly after the war and the majority of citizens migrated from the Southern states. However, another version suggests the town was named after a prominent early settler, Dr. Pleasant Lea. The discrepancy in the spelling of "Lea" has been attributed to railroad sign painters.

Lee's Summit's most infamous citizen was Cole Younger, called "The Last of the Great Outlaws" by author Homer Croy. According to history, soldiers drove Younger to a life outside the law after his father's murder and subsequent robbery. While Union forces were enforcing Order #11, the command issued in 1862 ostensibly to burn homes belonging to those with Southern ties, Younger and his brothers were credited with saving some of the original homes within Lee's Summit, the most prominent of which belonged to William B. Howard. Order #11 helped to unify the transplanted southern population in Missouri and compelled Younger to join the Confederate guerrilla band known as Quantrill's Raiders.

Cole Younger was arrested after an attempted bank robbery in Northfield, Minnesota. Following 25 years of imprisonment for his crimes, Cole Younger was paroled in 1901. Three years later, Younger returned to Lee's Summit where he lived as a model citizen until his death in 1916. His grave is located in the Lee's Summit Historic Cemetery.

The Fire of 1885 demonstrated yet again the stamina personified by citizens in Lee's Summit. While most of the town's residents were attending Sunday morning church services, fire erupted in the downtown district, which consisted of dry, wooden buildings. A detailed account of the fire, as printed in the April 16, 1885, issue of The Lee's Summit Journal, stated the buildings burned "...like greased wood".

Virtually the entire business district was destroyed and the loss aggregated at $87,000, with a total of 25 buildings consumed by the flames. However, the stalwart citizens took their losses in stride and promptly commenced to rebuild the town.

Almost 30 years later, Mr. R. A. Long, a prominent Kansas City lumberman, began building his dream, which became a reality with the construction of Longview Farm. In 1912, Mr. Long purchased approximately 1,700 acres in the southwest portion of Lee's Summit. Mostly self-sufficient, the farm

Introduction included five major barn groups and 42 buildings. When completed and functional, Longview Farm became internationally known for the horses and livestock contained within its white rail fences and was one of only three dozen such showplace farms.

The history of Lee's Summit abounds with the tragedies and triumphs of courageous people who have never failed in their dream of creating a city that will continually progress and prosper. Most importantly, Lee's Summit is comprised of dedicated people who never lose touch with the basic values that make a community livable. We feel Lee's Summit has lived up to the dreams of its forefathers.

2: Administrative Summary

CITY MANAGER’S BUDGET MESSAGE Mayor and City Council, We have prepared for you an executive summary outlining the proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year. As City Manager, I am appreciative of the team approach that is used to develop the budget. As a group of elected leaders, management team executives, and budget staff, we continually seek a way to provide outstanding services while maintaining a stable positive financial condition. Our work together has produced budgets that provide consistent, reliable municipal services and programs, and strategically guided our organization through the tumultuous economic depression that began in 2007.

While our national and local economy continues to stabilize and recover we must find a new balance, one that supports the bold direction necessary for future prosperity and the need for careful planning to maximize our scarce financial resources. The fiscal year 2015-2016 (FY16) budget is our operations guide and financial plan designed to support the vision statement of the Lee’s Summit City Council.

City Council Vision Statement As the elected body of the City of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, we are collectively in pursuit of; A culturally rich community with diverse economic sectors to create a prosperous and dynamic community in perpetuity.

This includes the Parks, grants, business and industry, tax increment financing (TIF), and transportation development district (TDD) funds.

Debt Service Funds: The city utilizes two funds to record the receipt and disbursement of monies used to repay principal and interest charges on city issued debt. The General Obligation Debt Service Fund and Park COP Debt Service Fund are used to account for the annual retirement of bonds issued from 2003 through 2015.

Capital Project Funds: The capital improvement funds include budgets that allocate expenses for infrastructure improvements. The City’s capital projects are funded by a variety of different sources. The City’s road and bridge maintenance projects and capital improvements are funded by a ½-cent sales tax. Other projects are funded by tax increment financing and through the sale of general obligation bonds.

Enterprise Funds: The City’s enterprise funds hold the budgets for departments that operate in business-type activities. These funds rely on revenues generated from sales of materials or services. The enterprise funds include budgets for our Water Utilities, Solid Waste, and Airport activities.

Internal Service Funds: The City uses internal service funds, or Proprietary Funds, to account for its fleet of vehicles and equipment, information technology systems, central building services, and trust funds.

The internal service departments allocate costs for the reimbursement of services to other departments.

With these funds it is my intent to assign resources in support of the City Council’s goals, maintain the needed levels of service, and pursue strategic initiatives that would benefit the City.

II.

Review of Financial Condition – General Fund

In previous years we have discussed challenging financial conditions stemming from the economic depression that began in 2007. The economic downturn forced our organization to make difficult decisions to protect our long term financial condition. Over the last two fiscal years, the City’s general fund budget has been reduced approximately $2.0m by utilizing a variety of cost cutting strategies and analyzing our service delivery processes. During the FY15 budget process I introduced a two year plan that continued budget reduction efforts in response to the challenges brought on by the recession. Our goal was to return the General Operating Funds from a projected deficit of approximately $1.4m in FY2014-15 to a balanced budget in 2015-16. I am proud to say that due to our quick actions and positive revenue trends we accomplished this feat in 12 months and not 24 months. Key elements of the two year plan included reductions to personnel services expenses and revenue enhancements. These elements were necessary to make a structural adjustment where revenue growth matched or exceeded growth in general fund operating expenditures.

Recovery from the economic depression relied on reducing operating costs and growth of the revenue base. In FY15 we see positive indicators both nationally and locally of economic recovery as the City’s general fund revenues have exceeded budgeted amounts. Nationally, reports of increased gross domestic production (GDP), a reduced unemployment rate, lower gas prices, and a decreased retail vacancy rate are some of the positive factors that indicate a potential for increased revenue in the future. In Lee’s Summit, private investment from economic development projects, increased population, and increased assessed valuation are positive factors that indicate a potential for general fund revenue growth.

While we have made difficult decisions to reduce operating costs and see signs of revenue growth and recovery, we must continue our practice of analyzing expenditures, looking for opportunities to add revenue, and forecasting realistic or conservative revenue and expenditure budgets. This practice has helped us gain financial sustainability and continue our incremental growth of our unallocated reserve balance.

2: Administrative Summary estimates were calculated using the two and three year average while factoring for elasticity to control for a potential spike that has possibly occurred in the current year. Total revenue from motor vehicle taxes are expected to be $48k, or 1.4%, above current year projections in FY16.

General Fund Expenditures: The challenge during every budget planning process is to efficiently maximize the scarce resources provided by tax payers and residents of the community. In FY16, I have proposed a total general fund expenditure budget of $61,185,805 that will be used to provide services to the citizens of Lee’s Summit.

During the previous two fiscal years, our organization has had to adjust how services are delivered to residents in an effort to reduce expenditures. Our Management Team and budget staff has continued this thinking as the FY16 budget was developed.

Key Expense Variances: •

Personnel Services: A variety of pay and compensation changes have occurred that resulted in a projected reduction of $87k, or.2%, in total personnel costs. A one-time retirement maximization program to incentivize early retirement will end resulting in a $700k reduction in personnel costs for FY16. This reduction is offset by increased costs for health insurance. The FY16 budget assumes a $631k, or 10%, increase for health insurance costs. The City’s retirement program, managed by the State of Missouri, has experienced a positive return on investment which has decreased the City of Lee’s Summit’s employer contribution by $542k, or 13%. In addition to these changes I have proposed a 2% performance based merit adjustment with the purpose of ensuring that our pay and compensation is competitive to attract and retain our best employees. Pay and compensation is budgeted for partial funding to account for anticipated vacancy savings that occurs as a result of employee turnover and separation.

2: Administrative Summary of $293,904 is planned to replace 8 LIFEPAKs, an emergency rescue device, equipped on the City’s ambulance and fire response vehicles. The LIFEPAK is an advanced monitoring device which gives the paramedic the ability to monitor critical values of the patient such as end Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, and presence of Carbon Monoxide and helps the paramedic detect hard-to-diagnose conditions and improve patient care delivery with noninvasive monitoring.

The LIFEPAK is utilized by LSFD paramedics to perform advanced cardiac monitoring in treating cardiac patients. The LIFEPAK continuously monitors all 12 leads in the background and alerts the paramedic of EKG changes that may occur while transporting the patient, after acquiring the initial 12-lead EKG. The LIFEPAK monitor/defibrillator functions as a defibrillator which is needed to treat lethal arrhythmias by delivering electrical energy to reset the electrical system of the heart, or serve as a pacemaker if the electrical system of the heart stops working.

Included in the proposed general fund budget is funding for the following key initiatives: Key Initiatives: A high performing successful organization will seek opportunities to continuously improve operations, be forward thinking by planning for the future, and align resources to efficiently deliver services. It is necessary for our organization to make these steps and implement new business practices to meet future realties. In the FY16 budget I have proposed the following key initiatives that will strategically plan and align our organization to meet the needs of our community. To accompany the reorganization plans described below, I have attached a proposed organizational chart to this message. (Please see last page) 1.

Reorganization of personnel resources

The most important resource of any organization is an employee. Professional staff members bring to the organization ideas, expertise, experience, and capacity to serve and deliver services. As City Manager, it is my responsibility to ensure that the City’s staff resources are aligned in support of our organization’s mission and goals. In the FY16 budget, I have proposed a reorganization plan to ensure the needs of the City Council and residents is met through the reassignment of responsibilities and the creation and reclassification of existing positions. As part of this plan, an Assistant City Manager will lead and direct our economic development and communications initiatives. A second Assistant City Manager will oversee our operating departments such as Public Works and Water Utilities. Responsibility for general administrative services including human resources and budget development will be assigned to a new Director of Administration position.

This reclassification of existing positions will eliminate the Assistant City Manager of Internal Service, Assistant City Manager of Development and Human Resources, and the Assistant to the City Manager positions. These changes also reflect the removal of the Deputy City Manager position in 2015-16. These changes are proposed in an effort to control personnel costs while ensuring we have the capacity to carry out our core functions.

2.

Enhancement of public communication

It is important to make informed decisions based on performance measure outcomes and through customer feedback. The recent Citizen Satisfaction Survey highlighted opportunities to enhance existing services in an effort to improve citizen satisfaction. One opportunity presented in the survey indicated a need to enhance public communication efforts. From 2008 to 2013 our residents’

2: Administrative Summary satisfaction of the City’s communications practices decreased 5% from the previous survey conducted in 2007. This decrease is not unexpected considering the changing preferences for how we choose to receive information and what information is desired. The FY16 budget includes funding for a new approach to public communication for the City. As a result of the communication audit we plan to reassign our communication resources by redesigning the duties and responsibilities of existing positions to create a communication team that will include a Communication Director, Public Engagement Specialist, and Communications Officer position whose assignment will be to build upon our traditional communication methods and tools like the City’s website and newsletters by increasing the City’s social media presence and utilization of proactive communication and citizen engagement tools. These changes will eliminate the Public Communications Coordinator and Economic Development Communications Manager positions.

3.

Economic Development

New investment in our community from the business sector creates opportunities to enhance our economic base and quality of life for the residents of our community. It is important for our community to pursue these opportunities strategically and efficiently to maximize the use of our land and financial resources. In FY16 I have proposed to streamline the development process for those making an investment in our community by combining land use planning and development engineering and inspections functions under the supervision of the Development Center department. In addition to this customer service improvement, we will initiate a proactive approach to identifying market opportunities for development within the City’s nine targeted areas. The FY16 budget also includes continued funding of $200k for the pursuit of economic development opportunities.

4.

Review of processes and procedures

To evolve and improve as an organization it is important that we review our operating processes and procedures to find efficiencies and best practices so that we adapt to customer needs and expectations. Each year I am required by ordinance to submit a recommendation for a performance review or management audit of City operations. Funding has been included in the FY16 Budget to review and audit our document management system and processes. A challenge for local government is to maintain transparency and openness of documentation and data. New business practices and technology have drastically increased the intake of communication and our output of information used in the decision making process. It is important that we maintain these records in an orderly and systematic manner. In addition, I have also proposed a review of administrative costs that are recovered from our other funds and business units and a network security audit to assess the safety and vulnerability of the City’s network technology infrastructure.

IV.

Enterprise & Internal Service Funds

Enterprise and Internal service funds receive revenues from user fees and charges directly from internal and external customers. These funds are not directly supported by tax revenue, but by charges to City departments and users. Included in these funds are the Water Utilities, Airport, Harris Park, Resource Recovery Park (Enterprise Funds) and the Fleet Management, Building Services, and Information Technology Funds (Internal Service Funds).

City of Lee’s Summit Annual Budget FY16

24 | P a g e

2: Administrative Summary All funding sources that may be used for various capital improvements are reviewed each year. Much of the work to develop the CIP focuses on the balancing of available resources with the identified capital needs. Consideration must be given to factors such as annual revenue projections from various sources, restrictions on the uses of certain funds, legal limitations on debt capacity, and City policies relative to project funding. For budgeting purposes, the first year’s funding is included in the annual budget with subsequent years funding added to each future annual budget respectively.

In FY16, major CIP projects receiving funding Capital Project Funds include: FY15 • Overlay and Slurry Seal maintenance Budget Water & Sewer Construction 14,269,038 program: $3m Bridges, Streets, Signals 12,020,000 • Annual Curb and Gutter Replacement Facilities 2,634,000 program: $1m Capital Equipment Replacement 1,042,000 • Construct Pavement for Runway 18-36: Airport 425,000 $1.6m Parks Construction 375,000 • Blackwell Road Interchange with US50: Total 30,765,038 $7.4m • Sanitary Sewer Main Replacement program: $1m • Water Main Replacement program: $1.9m

Priorities are formed when these documents share similar objectives. As shown in the diagram below, the City will focus on the priorities that overlap within the guiding documents.

LS360

Council Goals FY15 Priorities

Business Plan

Council Goals: The Council held a retreat to establish goals and objectives for the next year. The City Council will be updated on the progress made semi-annually and reconvene each year to reaffirm future priorities.

LS360: The City of Lee’s Summit and the National League of Cities organized a community wide strategic planning process for residents to engage in visioning and planning for the Lee’s Summit community.

Based on their input, goal and objectives were developed that were merged with the departmental goals and objectives.

Business Plan: The City of Lee’s Summit is currently developing a 5 year internal business plan utilizing the national Baldridge program. A systematic and repeatable process was used to set the strategic direction for internal operations as well as the tactical plans to be implemented each year to ensure consistent forward progress in organizational performance.

2: Administrative Summary

Introduction The City of Lee’s Summit has embarked on a new path to redesign and remake our local government into a high performing organization. High performing organizations are confident of their reason for existing and what they are attempting to accomplish. This includes utilizing work processes to systematically pursue ever-higher levels of overall organizational and individual performance, leading to improved service for customers and other stakeholders. Because of the City’s commitment to continuous improvement, we instituted a program in 2010 known as Performance Excellence to help us do just that. This entails the ongoing improvement of services, programs, and processes by small increments or even major breakthroughs, such as innovation and re-engineering to better the performance of our organization as a whole.

As we shift towards our goal to become a high performing organization we must abandon old and out of date models that silo traditional city provided services into separate departmental units. The old approach documented in previous budgets identified over 145 goals developed by the departments.

With so many goals that were often disjointed it became clear that our organization lacked a singular strategic set of goals that identified opportunities for advancement and continuous improvement. Our new model of decision making and goal setting is captured in the City’s Business Plan.

For example, one of our goals is to maintain effective delivery of services and ensure they meet customer expectations. The way to add value and improve customer service is to measure the results of applicable processes as evidence of effectiveness and efficiency. If a department finds that there is a problem with customer service or hand-offs to another department in providing the service, they can utilize the Plan, Do, Check, Act process to evaluate where improvements can be made following these steps (Shewhart cycle): -

Plan-define the process that requires improvement based upon customer requirements and planned work.

Do-Execute the plan. Collect required data.

Check-analyze data. Did the plan work? Did results meet customer expectations?

Act-if so, standardize and document system. If not, take action to correct.

2: Administrative Summary The City of Lee’s Summit Business Plan Our Business Plan, adopted by City Council resolution on October 16, 2014, supports the community goals and guides our work as an organization to achieving even higher levels of organizational performance. The City Manager and 11 department directors form the senior leadership (SL) team and guide day-to-day operations toward deploying the city’s Business Plan. .

The Business Plan documents the goals and objectives of our organizational units. This is our operations guide as it coordinates all of our organizational initiatives through the development and implementation of associated action plans and performance measurement tracking.

Mission / Vision / Values In 2014, selected employees of the City of Lee’s Summit embarked upon a journey to define the organizational mission and Core Values. The City Manager and Organizational Development Director facilitated an employee team to define the City’s purpose and to craft the mission statement. The Management Team established the organizational Core Values; a second employee team developed an educational program to introduce them to the workforce and to help make them relevant to every workforce member in every department. These Core Values explain how our workforce is expected to operate and behave; they reflect and reinforce the desired culture. They also support and guide the decision making of every workforce member, helping the City to accomplish its mission and attain the vision in an appropriate manner. When Core Values are wholly integrated, they become a measurement for employee and organizational success.

The City Council established the vision to articulate where the organization is headed and how they desire for it to be perceived in the future.

2: Administrative Summary

Goal Areas and Objectives In early 2010, twelve employees were selected to conduct an internal assessment of our organization, utilizing the Malcolm Baldridge performance excellence leadership model criteria. This involved focus groups with external stakeholders and employee interviews to collect valuable feedback regarding organizational strengths as well as opportunities for improvement. Further, the City’s Management Team convened a long term planning process in May, 2010, utilizing a SWOT analysis to identify

2: Administrative Summary potential threats to organizational sustainability. All information was instrumental in the development of the Business Plan’s goals for the duration of the plan, and objectives which remain in place for the 2013-2018 five year timeframe. Employee teams were formed to develop strategies to address improvement opportunities, led by organizational department directors. Those strategies were converted into action plans to align and focus the work of the organization at all levels; many of these action plans have been implemented as a result of this process over the last two years.

The best organizations in every sector have demonstrated that all parts of the system must be effectively integrated to optimize performance. Consequently, five high level organizational goal areas were identified along with corresponding objectives: Goal One: Customer Focus Objectives: • • •

Key work and internal support processes A systems approach to organizational performance management requires key work processes to be defined as depicted in the Customer Focus and Delivery of Services goals above. They are our most important internal value-creation processes. These key work processes are those that involve the majority of the workforce and produce customer and stakeholder value.. (They do not include projects since those are unique work processes intended to produce an outcome and then go out of existence.)

In addition to the key work processes, key support processes are depicted in the Workforce Focus, Communication and Fiscal Accountability goals above. They support our value-creation processes as well as leaders and other workforce members engaged in service delivery, customer interactions, and business and enterprise management. This brings other internal service divisions into budget reporting to ensure the support processes are well designed to help the City achieve operational success.

Scorecard and Dashboard The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award has increasingly emphasized the business aspects of the Total Quality Management of the 90’s, moving away from a narrow definition of quality as defects in a process or service.

2: Administrative Summary emphasis on organizational and behavioral considerations, a customer-oriented market-sensitive approach to the design and delivery of both programs and services, and a desire for continual improvement. Other approaches to total quality management practices include the ISO 9000 standards, the W. Edwards Deming, Joseph Juran, and Phillip Crosby philosophies from the early years of initiating total quality management to improving productivity beginning in 1927 through today.

The City’s goals and objectives were directly aligned with four Balanced Scorecard perspectives (Kaplan and Norton framework), that of stakeholders, employees, operations and financials. This scorecard displays progress on the key measures that the Performance Excellence teams identified for each strategic goal area. For instance, to measure employee learning and growth, the City conducts an employee “snap shot” survey every year to determine satisfaction levels. The resulting scores can be benchmarked with like municipalities and organizations (such as ICMA) or other industry leaders and trended internally over time to evaluate the strength of the City’s own performance results. The scorecard utilizes color codes to depict the level of performance for quick and easy identification of at risk areas through exceptional performance. Reports are reviewed on a quarterly basis with the Management Team which also includes assessing and evaluating the progress on tactical strategies utilizing a dashboard. This report contains associated timelines to identify those action plans behind schedule as well as ahead of schedule. Additional reports aid in determining where additional resources are needed to achieve the goals and objectives.

Summary This process helps us to better understand our organization and to define what it considers the most important. Our organizational core competencies are our final checkpoint to ensure the budget reports on the areas we believe to be our greatest expertise. They are those strategically important capabilities that are central to fulfilling our mission and make us unique within our service environment. Listed below are each core competency and its relationship to the mission: Core Competency Resource Management

How Core Competency Supports Mission Without money, equipment, buildings and people we can’t get our jobs done

Community Relations

Without the ability to build relationships, we won’t have political good will and trust from our stakeholders

Service Delivery

Without the ability to add value in our programs and services, the organization will not be viewed as progressive, effective, and efficient

This information helps us to demonstrate performance excellence and continuous improvement utilizing effective and efficient processes. These are many of the factors that are both necessary to achieve optimum performance over time. We want to manage the components of the City as a unified whole in

2: Administrative Summary order to operate in a fully interconnected, and mutually beneficial manner. We understand that change is not easy and that progress must be made at all departmental levels for lasting change to take place.

By aligning our work processes with the strategic direction and standardizing for consistency from one department to another, as applicable, employees in different parts of the organization avoid working at cross-purposes.

Fund and Department organization The General Fund: This fund includes budgets for 10 departments that provide the mission critical services to our residents, such as police and fire protection, street maintenance, planning, codes, court, and general administration of the City.

Special Revenue Funds: Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than expendable trust or major capital project) requiring separate accounting because of legal or regulatory provisions or administrative action. This includes the Parks, grants, business and industry, tax increment financing (TIF), and transportation development district (TDD) funds.

Debt Service Funds: The city utilizes two funds to record the receipt and disbursement of monies used to repay principal and interest charges on city issued debt. The General Obligation Debt Service Fund and Park COP Debt Service Fund are used to account for the annual retirement of bonds issued from 2003 through 2014.

Capital Project Funds: The capital improvement funds include budgets that allocate expenses for infrastructure improvements. The City’s capital projects are funded by a variety of different sources.

The City’s road and bridge maintenance projects and capital improvements are funded by a ½ sales tax.

Other projects are funded by tax increment financing and through the sale of general obligation bonds.

Enterprise Funds: The City’s enterprise funds hold the budgets for departments that operate in business-type activities. These funds rely on revenues generated from sales of materials or services. The enterprise funds include budgets for our Water Utilities, Solid Waste, and Airport activities.

3: Budget Overview Organizational Policies and Procedures Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The City of Lee’s Summit, Missouri (the City) was incorporated in 1868 and covers an area of approximately 64 square miles in Jackson and Cass Counties, Missouri. Lee’s Summit is a charter city operating under an elected Mayor-City Council form of government. The City Administrator is the chief administrative officer of the City. The City provides services to more than 70,000 residents in many areas including law enforcement, fire protection, water and sewer services, community enrichment and development, and various social services. Educational services are provided by separate governmental entities.

The accounting and reporting policies of the City conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to local governments. The following represent the more significant accounting and reporting policies and practices of the City.

The Financial Reporting Entity The City is governed by an elected eight-member council and a mayor. As required by GAAP, these financial statements present the City of Lee’s Summit (the primary government). The following component unit is included in the City’s reporting entity because of the significance of its operational and financial relationship with the City.

Blended Component Unit The following legally separate entity is a component unit which is, in substance, a part of the City’s general operations. This component unit provides services almost entirely to the primary government and provides services which almost exclusively benefit the primary government. Data from this unit is combined with data of the primary government for financial reporting purposes.

The Lee’s Summit, Missouri Municipal Building Authority (the Authority) is a not-for-profit corporation incorporated under the laws of the state of Missouri on August 13, 1994. The Authority is governed by a three-member board appointed by the City Council. The Authority was established to promote, acquire, develop, construct, own and lease facilities within the City which are approved by the City Council for the purpose of promoting the economic, social, industrial, cultural and commercial growth and for the general benefit of the City and its residents. Administration of its various programs is performed by City employees. Although it is legally separate from the City, the Authority is reported as if it were part of the primary government because its sole purpose is to finance and construct the City’s public buildings.

Separate financial statements for the Authority are not prepared.

Basis of Presentation The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds and account groups, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, equities, revenues and expenditures or

City of Lee’s Summit Annual Budget FY16

56 | P a g e

3: Budget Overview

expenses. The various funds are grouped by type in the general purpose financial statements. The following fund types and account groups are used by the City.

Governmental Fund Types The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.

Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than expendable trust or major capital projects) requiring separate accounting because of legal or regulatory provisions or administrative action.

The Debt Service Fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, principal, interest and fiscal charges on long-term obligations other than obligations payable from the operations of Proprietary Fund Types.

Capital Project Funds are used to account for financial resources segregated for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities other than those financed by Proprietary Fund Types or Expendable Trust Funds.

Proprietary Fund Types Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations which provide a service to the general public and are financed primarily by user charges from such services.

Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods or services provided by one department to other departments of the City on a cost-reimbursement basis.

Fiduciary Fund Types Expendable Trust Funds are used to account for assets held in trust by the City for others. The City’s Expendable Trust Funds include the Entitlement Fund.

Account Groups The General Fixed Assets Account Group is established to account for all fixed assets of the City other than those accounted for in the Proprietary Fund Types. Construction in progress, which recognizes the value of assets not completed, is also included in this fund.

The General Long-Term Debt Account Group is established to account for all long-term indebtedness of the City except that accounted for in the Proprietary Fund Types.

Basis of Accounting The accounting and financial reporting applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. All Governmental Fund Types and Expendable Trust Funds are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds present increases (i.e.,

City of Lee’s Summit Annual Budget FY16

57 | P a g e

3: Budget Overview

revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets.

The modified accrual basis of accounting is used by all Governmental Fund Types, Expendable Trust Funds and Agency Funds. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they become measurable and available). “Measurable” means the amount of the transaction can be determined, and “available” means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The City considers property taxes as available if they are collected within 60 days after year-end. A one-year availability period is used for revenue recognition for all other Governmental Fund revenues. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred. Principal and interest on general long-term debt are recorded as fund liabilities when due or when amounts have been accumulated in the Debt Service Fund for payments to be made early in the following year.

Those revenues susceptible to accrual are property taxes, franchise taxes and interest. Sales taxes collected and held by the state at year-end on behalf of the City also are recognized as revenue. Fines, licenses and permits are not susceptible to accrual because, generally, they are not measurable until received in cash.

All Proprietary Fund Types are accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, all assets and all liabilities associated with the operation of these funds are included on the balance sheet. Fund equity (i.e., net total assets) is segregated into contributed capital and retained earnings components. Proprietary Fund Type operating statements present increases (e.g., revenues, non-operating revenues and operating transfers in) and decreases (e.g., expenses, nonoperating expenses and operating transfers out) in net total assets.

The accrual basis of accounting is utilized by the Proprietary Fund Types. Under this method, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred. The City does not apply Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) statements issued after November 30, 1989 for its Proprietary Funds.

Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents include investments with original maturities of less than three months.

Other Taxes and Revenues Recognized state shared taxes, such as motor, gas and liquor taxes, represent payments received during the current fiscal period.

Federal and state grant aid is reported as revenue when the related reimbursable expenditures are incurred. Unrestricted aid is reported as revenue in the fiscal year the entitlement is received. Charges for services are generally susceptible to accrual and are recorded as revenue when earned.

City of Lee’s Summit Annual Budget FY16

58 | P a g e

3: Budget Overview

Licenses, fees, fines, forfeitures and other revenues are generally not susceptible to accrual and are recorded when received in cash.

Inventories Inventories, which primarily consist of water line maintenance materials, are valued at cost using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The costs of Governmental Fund Type inventories are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased.

Prepaid Insurance Prepaid insurance represents the payment of insurance premiums for coverage that benefits more than one fiscal period. The premium amounts are amortized over the policy periods.

Deferred Bond Issue Costs and Unamortized Bond Discount Deferred bond issue costs and unamortized bond discount are amortized over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment owned by the Proprietary Fund Types are stated at actual or estimated historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Contributed assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the time received. Assets acquired through capital leases are recorded in the appropriate property, plant and equipment accounts and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

Amortization of assets recorded under capital leases is included within Proprietary Fund Type depreciation expense. Depreciation of plant and equipment is provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:

Buildings

20–40 years

Plant and water/sewerage systems

35–75 years

Machinery and equipment

3–15 years

It is general practice to charge maintenance and repairs to expenses. Major expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

Cost of assets sold or retired and the related amounts of accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts in the year of sale or retirements, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the general purpose financial statements.

General Fixed Assets General fixed assets have been acquired for general governmental purposes. Assets purchased are recorded as expenditures in the Governmental Fund Types and capitalized at actual or estimated

City of Lee’s Summit Annual Budget FY16

59 | P a g e

3: Budget Overview

historical cost in the General Fixed Assets Account Group. In the case of gifts or contributions, such assets are recorded in General Fixed Assets Account Group at fair market value when received.

Certain improvements, including roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems and lighting systems, have not been capitalized. No depreciation is provided on general fixed assets.

Interest Expenditures Expenditures for interest on general long-term debt are accounted for in the year of payment.

Compensated Absences Under the terms of the City’s personnel policy, City employees are granted vacation and sick leave in varying amounts. In the event of termination, an employee is paid for accumulated vacation days up to the equivalent of two years’ vacation (maximum of six weeks). Employees are paid for one-eighth of accumulated sick leave upon termination if they have five or more years of employment with the City.

All employer related costs of vacation and sick leave are accrued and recorded when earned. Only the current portion of accrued vacation and sick leave is recorded in the Governmental Fund Types, and the remainder of the liability is reported in the General Long-Term Debt Account Group. All employer related costs of accrued vacation and sick leave in the Proprietary Fund Types is recorded entirely within those funds.

Budgetary Procedures The reported budgetary data represents the final approved budget after amendments as adopted by the City Council. Amendments to the original budget were not material, and appropriations lapse at yearend. The basis of accounting is the same for both budgeting and GAAP reporting purposes. The City Council utilizes the following procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the general purpose financial statements.

(1) Prior to the beginning of the fiscal year, the City Administrator submits to the City Council a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1. The operating budget provides a complete financial plan of all funds and activities for the upcoming fiscal year.

In no event shall the total proposed expenditures exceed the estimated revenues to be received plus any unencumbered cash reserves estimated to be on hand at the beginning of the budget year.

(2) Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.

(3) Prior to July 1, the budget is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance.

The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, department and program. Department heads may make transfers of appropriations within their departments. Upon written request by the City Administrator, the Council may, by ordinance, transfer part or all of any unencumbered appropriation balance from one department to another. The legal level of budgetary control is the department level.

City of Lee’s Summit Annual Budget FY16

3: Budget Overview

Although the City is legally required to prepare budgets for all funds, there is no legal requirement to report on those budgets. Therefore, the Combined Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances – Budget and Actual presents a comparison of budget and actual for only the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Fund and the Expendable Trust Fund.

All special revenue funds have annual appropriated budgets except for the Federal Emergency Management Measures Fund (FEMA). The FEMA Fund is activated only when the City is declared a state or federal disaster area.

Capital projects are budgeted on a project basis rather than on an annual fiscal basis; therefore, a comparison of actual to budget for Capital Project Funds would not be meaningful

Budget Adoption and Administration As adopted by City Charter and Council Policy The following procedures will be followed in the preparation, adoption, administration, and control of departmental budgets within city organizations.

Preparation The following fund types shall be budgeted:

• • • • • •

General Operating Special Revenue Debt Service Capital Projects Enterprise Internal Service

useful life or can be expected to extend the life two years or more. A more detailed explanation of this account may be found in the City's Capital Asset Policy.

Administration No Capital Expenditure will be made unless:

• It was specifically budgeted for in the adopted budget, or the Assistant to the City Manager determines that there are funds available in the department's budget, and the City Manager approves the purchase in writing.

• The City Council upon recommendation of the appropriate standing committees shall authorize the unbudgeted expenditure if it exceeds $10,000 to the extent that the reappropriation of funds does not diminish the overall goal and objectives of the departments program for which these funds are taken. The request for such approval shall be highlighted on the Council's Regular Agenda, and backup material provided which explains the purpose of the change and its impact on budget priorities.

The City Manager shall approve all transfers of funds between line items within each department's budget which exceed $10,000. The City Manager may transfer part or all of any unencumbered appropriation balance among programs within a department and, upon written request by the City Manager, the Council may by ordinance transfer part or all of any unencumbered appropriation balance from one department to another.

Reporting: The Administration Department will provide timely reports of budget position to each Department Director, the City Manager, Mayor, and City Council.

Expenditure Projection and Analysis: The Administration Department will analyze the expenditures of each department on a monthly basis and inform each Department Director whose expenditures appear to be exceeding the adopted budget. By the end of the seventh month of each budget year, the Administration Department will notify all Department Directors whose budgets are likely to be exceeded. The City Manager, Mayor, and City Council shall also be notified. Each Department Director so notified shall, within two weeks, inform the Finance Director and City Manager of the actions he/she will take to avoid exceeding the departmental budget.

CONTROL OF BUDGET OVERRUNS Budget Overruns: If, during the budget year, the Administration Department shall determine that a department's expenditures will exceed the approved budget, the Assistant to the City Manager shall with the approval of the City Manager prepare an adjustment to the budget. If the department's expenditures are expected to exceed the approved budget a Budget Amendment shall be prepared for

City of Lee’s Summit Annual Budget FY16

63 | P a g e

3: Budget Overview submission to the Mayor and City Council. In the event of an emergency, the City Manager may authorize an expenditure by a department which is in an "overrun" situation.

Summary The Director of each department shall be held responsible and accountable for the expenditures of his/her department. The Assistant to the City Manager shall, through timely reports and analysis, keep Department Directors and elected officials informed of any possible budget problems. A department shall not exceed its approved budget without authorization from the City Manager. Amendments which change the total budgeted appropriations for any fund will be made through adoption of a budget revision ordinance.

CASH MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES As adopted by Council Policy

The City’s idle funds shall be invested in accordance with the Investment Policy adopted by the Mayor and City Council. Supplemental to these general policies and procedures the City’s Cash Management Officer shall monitor the cash and investment portfolio to maintain adequate collateral of deposits in excess of FDIC insurance.

A schedule of collateral shall be maintained and monitored to insure that market values are equal to, or greater than 105% of estimated deposits in the overnight money market account. Weekly cash flow projections should be determined and/or calculated by comparing general ledger cash balances (cash board) with expected receipts or funds needed to cover next two payments cycles, security maturities and payments. If cash on hand is projected to exceed short term needs, then an analysis should be made to invest excess in a fixed maturity security. The new investment maturity should attempt to provide continuous monthly maturities up to a maximum of three years.

The interest rate quoted may be tied to another rate to allow for market fluctuations (i.e, the most recent ninety-day (90) treasury bill plus or minus basis points). Any such rate must be subject to independent verification.

To accomplish the above listed duties the following activities should be performed on a daily basis: • • • • •

Log on to the Bank On-Line Account Inquiry system and print the account balance for that day.

Compare the bank balance with the General Ledger Cash Board for reasonableness, i.e. recently issued checks or deposits that may not have cleared.

Compare the accounts payable open items list for large payments scheduled for the current and subsequent week to arrive at a cash needs amount.

Project any significant cash receipts due that would correspond with outgoing payments, i.e. sales tax normally wired on the tenth of the month, franchise tax receipts and any grant or tax payments.

Establish regular vendor payments utilizing ACH process.

3: Budget Overview

DEBT MANAGEMENT POLICY As adopted by Council Policy

DEBT TYPES The City of Lee's Summit is authorized to issue General Obligation Bonds, Revenue Bonds, and LeasePurchase Certificates of Participation.

In determining the type of bond to issue, the following factors should be considered: The direct and indirect beneficiaries of the project. A significantly large proportion of citizens should benefit from projects financed from general obligation bonds. o o o o o o

The time pattern of the stream of benefits generated by the project.

The revenues that may be raised by alternative types of user charges.

The cost-effectiveness of user charges.

The effect of the proposed bond issue on the City's ability to finance future projects of equal or high priority.

The true interest cost of each type of bond.

The impact on the City's financial condition and credit ratings.

General Obligation Bonds The city is authorized to issue General Obligation Bonds payable from ad valorem taxes to finance capital improvements and equipment upon a two-thirds majority vote, and on general election dates a four-sevenths majority vote, of the qualified voters. The Missouri constitution permits the City to incur general obligation indebtedness for City purposes not to exceed 10% of the assessed valuation of taxable tangible property; and to incur general obligation indebtedness not exceeding an additional 10% for acquiring rights of way; constructing and improving streets, sanitary sewers, and storm sewers; and purchasing or constructing waterworks plants.

General obligation, property tax-supported bonding should be used to finance only those capital improvements and long term assets, which have been determined to be essential to the maintenance or development of the City.

The City should maintain a General Debt and Interest Fund balance which is at least 50% of the average annual debt service.

City of Lee’s Summit Annual Budget FY16

65 | P a g e

3: Budget Overview

Revenue Bonds The City is also authorized to issue Revenue Bonds to finance capital improvements to its combined water and sewerage system, airport and sanitary landfill facilities. These types of Revenue Bonds require a simple majority vote.

Revenue Bonds do not carry the full faith and credit of the City in servicing bond indebtedness, and such bonds are not considered in determining the legal debt margin resulting from the 20% limitation described above. However, if any taxes are pledged or dedicated to the payment of revenue bonds (sales taxes, property taxes etc.) the bonds must be voted as general obligation bonds, the debt limit must be observed, and all bonds must be paid off within 20 years.

Revenue supported bonds should be used to limit potential dependence on property taxes for those projects with available revenue sources, whether self-generated or dedicated from other sources.

Adequate financial feasibility studies should be performed for each project to provide assurances as to the self-liquidating nature of the project or adequacy of dedicated revenue sources.

63-20 Corporations (Municipal Building Authority) Internal Revenue Service Ruling 63-20 allows the City to create not-for-profit corporations.

Through these corporations, the City can issue tax-exempt bonds for the lease purchase of equipment and facilities without the voter approval required for the issuance of general obligation bonds--the City's obligation under a one-year annually renewable lease is not an "indebtedness" according to the Missouri Constitution. The City has financed several projects and equipment purchases through the Lee's Summit Municipal Building Authority.

Lease financing is appropriate whenever the introduction of leased equipment and/or a capital improvement results in verifiable operating savings that, properly discounted, outweigh the lease financing costs.

Adequate financial feasibility studies should be performed for all innovative financing proposals such as lease and lease-purchase agreements, tax increment financing, pool participation, and special assessment projects.

Long term borrowing will be confined to construction of capital improvements and acquisition of capital equipment too large to be financed from current revenues.

City of Lee’s Summit Annual Budget FY16

66 | P a g e

3: Budget Overview Proceeds from long-term debt should only be used for construction project costs, acquisition of other fixed assets, bond issue costs, debt service reserve requirements, and refunding of outstanding bond issues and will not be used for current, ongoing operations.

Debt will be extinguished within a period not to exceed the expected useful life of the capital project or equipment.

The City should actively monitor its investment practices to ensure maximum returns on its invested bond funds while complying with Federal arbitrage guidelines.

The Finance Department should continually monitor outstanding debt issues to verify compliance with debt covenants.

The City's financial management policies should be oriented to maintain a balanced relationship between issuing debt and pay as you go financing.

Financial Advisor The City shall retain the services of a Financial Advisor to assist the city in identifying capital financing alternatives and planning its debt program. The financial advisor's role in the debt issuance will vary depending on whether bonds are issued through a competitive or negotiated method of sale. The financial advisor should have no affiliation with the underwriting of a particular issue of the city. The financial advisor and or employees of the financial advisor shall not have made political contributions to any candidate for public office in the city for a period of two years preceding their selection as financial advisor.

Method of Bond Sale When appropriate, new debt issues will be offered utilizing the competitive bid process. In a competitive sale, the financial advisor will assist in determining the structure and timing of the issue, prepare bond documents and rating agency presentations and evaluate the best bid and assist in the closing transaction.

Refunding of Existing Debt The city will consider undertaking a refunding when one or more of the following three conditions exist: 1.

The present value of all refunding costs, (including interest, call premium, bond counsel, financial underwriter spread/discount and other issuance costs) is less than the present value of the current interest. Net present value savings should approximate a minimum of three percent (3%).

2.

The city wishes to restructure debt service.

3: Budget Overview 3.

The city wishes to eliminate old bond covenants that may have become restrictive.

Financial Underwriter The financial underwriter shall determine which bid for the city's bonds is best by reviewing the pricing of comparable issues, talking to potential investors, identifying other similar issues that are likely to be in the market at the same time, and assessing the level of competition among various underwriting firms utilizing the Negotiated Sale process.

The financial underwriter and or employees of the financial underwriter shall not have made political contributions to any candidate for public office in the city, for a period of two years preceding their selection as financial underwriter.

Federal Arbitrage Compliance Arbitrage is the difference between the yield on an issuer's tax exempt bond and the investment income earned on the proceeds. Arbitrage profits are earned when lower-yielding tax-exempt bond proceeds are invested in higher-yielding taxable securities.

Federal arbitrage restrictions imposed by the federal government prohibit an issuer from retaining arbitrage profits when investing bond proceeds at a yield that exceeds the yield on the bonds. The city will calculate or contract with a reputable firm to calculate, any arbitrage liability, and rebate such, to the U.S. Treasury in accordance with federal guidelines.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS (CIP) BUDGET ADOPTION AND ADMINISTRATION POLICY As referenced by City Charter and Council Adopted Policy

The following procedures will be followed in the preparation, adoption, administration, and control of capital projects.

Preparation and Adoption The City’s Charter mandates the development and annual review of a capital improvements plan and estimated operating and maintenance costs of the proposed improvements. The plan is formally adopted each year by the Planning Commission as part of the Comprehensive Plan. This approach addresses legal requirements for public hearings on the location, nature and extent of all projects. All costs identified for the first year of the plan are included in the City’s Operating Budget, which is adopted by the Mayor and City Council, for the upcoming fiscal year.

3: Budget Overview Capital Expenditures Capital Expenditures are expenditures incurred through the acquisition or enhancement of fixed assets, to the extent the expenditure exceeds $1,000 and has a useful life or can be expected to extend the life three years or more.

Capital Project Financing The City of Lee's Summit is authorized to issue General Obligation Bonds, Revenue Bonds, and Lease-Purchase Certificates of Participation.

In determining the type of bond to issue, the following factors should be considered: • • • • • • •

The direct and indirect beneficiaries of the project. A significantly large proportion of citizens should benefit from projects financed from general obligation bonds.

The time pattern of the stream of benefits generated by the project.

The revenues that may be raised by alternative types of user charges.

The cost-effectiveness of user charges.

The effect of the proposed bond issue on the City's ability to finance future projects of equal or high priority.

The true interest cost of each type of bond.

The impact on the City's financial condition and credit ratings.

General Obligation Bonds The city is authorized to issue General Obligation Bonds payable from ad valorem taxes to finance capital improvements and equipment upon a two-thirds majority vote, and on general election dates a four-sevenths majority vote, of the qualified voters. The Missouri constitution permits the City to incur general obligation indebtedness for City purposes not to exceed 10% of the assessed valuation of taxable tangible property; and to incur general obligation indebtedness not exceeding an additional 10% for acquiring rights of way; constructing and improving streets, sanitary sewers, and storm sewers; and purchasing or constructing waterworks plants.

General obligation, property tax-supported bonding should be used to finance only those capital improvements and long term assets, which have been determined to be essential to the maintenance or development of the City.

The City should maintain a General Obligation Debt Service and Interest Fund balance which is at least 50% of the average annual debt service.

Revenue Bonds The City is also authorized to issue Revenue Bonds to finance capital improvements to its combined water and sewerage system, airport and sanitary landfill facilities. These types of Revenue Bonds require a simple majority vote.

Revenue Bonds do not carry the full faith and credit of the City in servicing bond indebtedness, and such bonds are not considered in determining the legal debt margin resulting from the 20% limitation described above. However, if any taxes are pledged or dedicated to the payment of City of Lee’s Summit Annual Budget FY16

69 | P a g e

3: Budget Overview revenue bonds (sales taxes, property taxes etc.) the bonds must be voted as general obligation bonds, the debt limit must be observed, and all bonds must be paid off within 20 years.

Revenue supported bonds should be used to limit potential dependence on property taxes for those projects with available revenue sources, whether self-generated or dedicated from other sources.

Adequate financial feasibility studies should be performed for each project to provide assurances as to the self-liquidating nature of the project or adequacy of dedicated revenue sources.

63-20 Corporations (Municipal Building Authority) Internal Revenue Service Ruling 63-20 allows the City to create not-for-profit corporations.

Through these corporations, the City can issue tax-exempt bonds for the lease purchase of equipment and facilities without the voter approval required for the issuance of general obligation bonds--the City's obligation under a one-year annually renewable lease is not an "indebtedness" according to the Missouri Constitution. The City has financed several projects and equipment purchases through the Lee's Summit Municipal Building Authority.

Lease financing is appropriate whenever the introduction of leased equipment and/or a capital improvement results in verifiable operating savings that, properly discounted, outweigh the lease financing costs.

Adequate financial feasibility studies should be performed for all innovative financing proposals such as lease and lease-purchase agreements, tax increment financing, pool participation, and special assessment projects.

Long term borrowing will be confined to construction of capital improvements and acquisition of capital equipment too large to be financed from current revenues.

Proceeds from long-term debt should only be used for design and construction project costs, acquisition of other fixed assets, bond issue costs, debt service reserve requirements, and refunding of outstanding bond issues and will not be used for current, ongoing operations.

Debt will be extinguished within a period not to exceed the expected useful life of the capital project or equipment.

The City's financial management policies should be oriented to maintain a balanced relationship between issuing debt and pay as you go financing.

4: Revenue Projections

Revenue Projections The primary support for general services comes from diverse revenue sources such as property taxes, sales taxes, and utility franchise taxes. Combined, these major revenue sources comprise approximately 78% of all general fund revenues. The balance of revenues is derived from user charges, fines and forfeitures, investment income, intergovernmental revenues and miscellaneous fees and charges.

In previous years, these revenue sources experienced steady growth allowing the City to maintain and in some service areas expand the level of service. Recovery from the recent economic downturn has slowly occurred. In FY16, modest growth was budgeted in property and sales tax revenues but remained flat for franchise taxes. Anticipated growth is budgeted to be less than 2.5% compared to over 4% growth annually before the start of the recession.

The following revenue projection pages are prepared for all major revenue sources over $1 million. They are presented in order of highest to lowest total revenue.

The starting point for all account revenue projections begins with the new construction building permit activity of the past year. From this, assessed valuations are projected for the property tax accounts. The building permit information also provides an estimation of population growth, which is normally factored into the various accounts such as license, permits and fees.

Historical account activity is tracked to also provide trend information to provide a comparative basis for projections.

Each revenue page has five sections, which lists the account code, legal authorization, description, basis of revenue projection and the fund collection/distribution.

1. The Account Code section lists the specific line item that the receipt will be posted to in the city's general ledger accounting system.

2. The Legal Authorization section should list either the state statute or city ordinance, which allows the city to levy and receive this source of funds.

3. The Description section provides a brief explanation of the formula (i.e. tax levy times assessed valuation or building permit square footage times rate per foot), or established schedule of fees.

4. The Basis of Revenue Projection section describes the logic and/or assumptions used to arrive at the projected amounts and possibly he history or trend analysis of the particular account.

The Fund Collection/Distribution section lists the most recent five years of actual receipt activity in the account, plus a projection for the current fiscal year and the upcoming budget year. In the case where a single revenue account is received in more than one fund, all funds are listed by fund category and then totaled.

Property Tax Legal Authorization:

Account Codes:

State Statute : Chapter 94, Chapter 137 City Ordinance : N/A

4000, 4001, 4003, 4004, 4005

Description: Revenue from the ad valorem tax, levied on all real and personal property is based upon the assessed valuation as established by the County Assessor on January 1st of each year. Real property assessed valuation is determined by applying the market value times the appropriate assessment ratios. They are as follows: Commercial/Industrial - 32%; Residential - 19%; Agricultural - 12%. Personal property assessed valuation is set at 33% of market value and is determined by the State Tax Commission. Each year the City Council must set the rates to be levied for the City’s property taxes. In odd numbered years, all county assessors are required to re-assess property values in their county.

The Hancock Amendment applies to Previously Assessed Property (property assessed prior to 2015—all AV from 2014), and, limits the increase in 2015 Revenues generated by that property to the lesser of 5%, the CPI or the increase in assessed values for previously assessed property. Budget amounts are calculated using the previous calendar year's final assessment or preliminary assessment. Because reassessment only occurs in odd numbered years, budgeted amounts fall short of actual amounts because of conservative growth projections at the time of calculation.

Basis of Projection & Analysis:

Financial Trend $35,000,000 $33,000,000

Jackson County provided a preliminary assessment for FY14, CY 2013, of property values. The assessment indicated 1% growth in property tax values which will not require a levy adjustment.

$31,000,000 $29,000,000 $27,000,000 $25,000,000

The AV for previously assessed property for 2015 in LS is approximately 4.18% higher than 2014. Thus, the increase in revenues is limited to the CPI increase set by the State Tax Commission for 2015 Tax Levy purposes (0.800%). Therefore, the Revenues to be generated from previously assessed property is roughly 100.8% of revenues from 2014.

4020, 4021

Description: The City imposes a total sales tax of 2.25% on all goods and commodities sold within the City limits, and it is broken down into four funds as detailed below . Transportation and Park Development local sales taxes are not levied on utilities. The State of Missouri receives the tax from the respective business and distributes the funds monthly to the City.

In an April 5, 2005 special election, the City voted to extend the Park Development Fund's local sales tax for a period of ten years beginning April 1, 2008 at a rate of one-quarter of one percent (1/4 of 1%). This rate was a .125% reduction from what was then the current rate.

In an April 3, 2007 special election, the City also voted to extend the Capital Improvements sales tax for streets and related projects for a period of ten years from its pending expiration of March 31, 2008 with no rate change.

Therefore, beginning April 1, 2008, the City's total sales tax rate was reduced from 2.375% to 2.25% due the reduction of .125% in the Park Development Fund.

Electric: The City charges a license fee of 7% of the gross receipts derived from the sale of electric energy for domestic and commercial consumption within the City. The fee is collected by the utility company and remitted to the City the following month.

Natural Gas: The City charges a license fee of 7% of the gross receipts derived from the sale of natural gas for domestic and commercial consumption in the City. The fee is collected by the utility company and remitted to the City the following month.

Fees collected are highly dependent on weather conditions in the City. Wholesalers are also contracting with large volume users to purchase direct from the well fields avoiding the franchise fee.

Cable: The City charges a license fee of 5% of the gross receipts derived on all service charges for customers subscribing to cable television service. The fee is assessed on regular monthly billing, and cable companies remit their fees on a quarterly basis to the City.

Telephone: The City charges a license fee of 7% on the gross receipts derived from telecommunication services provided in the City. The fee is collected by the telecommunications companies and is then remitted to the City.

Basis of Projection & Analysis:

Financial Trend $18,000,000

In FY15 franchise tax revenue was budgeted close to the 3 year averages while factoring trend data. The lack of growth in franchise tax has prompted the City to conduct a franchise tax audit to determine if all tax revenue due is being remitted.

$16,000,000

In FY16 all categories of Franchise Tax were budgeted to decrease following change in demand, service price, customer choices, and milder weather.

EATS -- Local Sales Tax Account Codes:

Legal Authorization: State Statute : Section 99.820, 99.845 City Ordinance :

4020, 4021

Description: For redevelopment projects approved by ordinance after August 31, 1991, fifty percent of the total additional revenue from taxes, penalties and interest which are imposed by the municipality or other taxing districts, and which are generated by economic activities within the area over a determined base amount, but excluding certain taxes, shall be allocated to, and paid to the municipality, who shall deposit such funds in a separate segregated account within a special allocation fund.

Lee's Summit has seven active TIF redevelopment projects which are/will generate economic activity taxes (EATS): Summit Woods, Chapel Ridge, I-470 Business and Technology, Longview, Hartley Block, Todd George and 50 Highway and Summit Fair.

In an April 5, 2005 special election, the City voted to extend the Park Development Fund's local sales tax for a period of ten years beginning April 1, 2008 at a rate of one-quarter of one percent (1/4 of 1%). This rate was a .125% reduction from what was then the current rate.

In an April 3, 2007 special election, the City also voted to extend the Capital Improvements sales tax for streets and related projects for a period of ten years from its pending expiration of March 31, 2008 with no rate change.

Therefore, beginning April 1, 2008, the City's total sales tax rate was reduced from 2.375% to 2.25% due the reduction of .125% in the Park Development Fund.

Basis of Projection & Analysis:

Financial Trend $3,700,000

EATs payments for a major shopping center ended in 2013. This amounts to an estimated $1 million reduction for general fund receipts. The same proportionate reduction was anticipated for the other funds.

In FY15, a new retail/grocery store development is planned to open. The TIF district is expected to generate approximately $300k in new sales tax. This partial increase reflects the stores opening mid fiscal year.

$3,200,000 $2,700,000 $2,200,000 $1,700,000 $1,200,000

Description: The City promotes economic development by utilizing several state authorized tax incentive mechanisms: 1. Chapter 100 - provides an incentive for new industries to locate in the area, as well as encourages companies already in the area to remain, by assisting them in improving their present facilities or in building new ones; ad valorem taxes on bond-financed property are abated, and negotiated PILOTs are made by the company to the City and each political subdivision.

2. Tax Increment Financing (TIF) - encourages development of blighted, substandard, or economically under-utilized areas that would not develop without public assistance; the PILOTs are made by property owners in the redevelopment area on the increase in current equalized assessed valuation of each such parcel, and such payments are deposited into the special allocation fund (SAF); payments to the SAF may be used to pay for the redevelopment project costs or to repay any obligations (i.e., bonds or promissory notes) issued by the municipality to pay for the redevelopment project costs.

Basis of Projection:

Financial Trend $9,000,000

Chapter 100 Bonds Summit Technology, BHA Technologies Inc., and Kokam America are reflected in the General Fund category below. The PILOTs are generated pursuant to the terms of Section 100.010 to 100.200, RSMo.

5: General Fund Overview General

General Fund .

The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. Expenditures from this fund provide the basic city services, such as police and fire protection. It also funds the following departments and the services they provide: Administration, Codes Administration, Finance, Law, Municipal Court, Planning & Development, and Public Works. The General Fund is categorized as a governmental fund type.

The major revenue sources of this fund are property taxes, retail sales taxes, and utility franchise taxes. The remaining revenues are derived from the various user fees and other sources.

A key element of the budget process is projecting the fund’s ending reserve balance. Total expenditures for the upcoming fiscal year are set based on projected revenues for the coming year and to ensure fund reserves will remain at the level set by policy.

Fund balance reserves represent the unappropriated accumulation of the difference between actual revenues and expenditures. The source and timing of revenues dictates the level of fund balance necessary to avoid cash shortages in normal day to day operations. The City recognizes the need to establish and maintain adequate reserves to avoid any disruption in service level caused by either a downturn in a significant revenue item or one that is only received at a particular time such as property taxes in December. Accordingly, the City Council adopted an ordinance that requires 16.67%, or an amount equal to two months of expenditures.

The City utilizes Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (GAAP) based budgeting for the General Fund.

This requires that the modified accrual method of accounting is used to record revenues and expenditures. Revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e. when they become measurable and available). “Measurable” means the amount of the transaction can be determined, and “available” means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of current period.

Revenues susceptible to accrual are property taxes, franchise taxes and interest revenue. Sales taxes collected and held by the state at year-end on behalf of the City also are recognized as revenue. User charges, fines, licenses, permits and miscellaneous revenues are not susceptible to accrual because generally they are not measurable until received in cash.

General Fund Budget Reductions In FY15 the City Manager introduced a 2 year plan to correct a structural deficit that threatened the City’s positive financial condition. The 2 year plan, as outlined, sought to incrementally correct this issue while minimizing the impact of service reductions to our citizens. Planning for these reductions over a two year period allowed the City Council and staff to make needed investments to help offset the need for reductions in future years. Conservative spending and revenue growth in FY15 eliminated the need to make significant reductions that would change the level of services provided to the residents however reductions were still pursued.

General Fund Reserve Balance During the budget process, the General Fund reserve balance is projected for five fiscal years out from the budget year to evaluate the long term impact of current budget and spending decisions. The projections are very fluid, particularly during the budget process and new information becomes available and various assumptions and budget levels are evaluated. The table below reflects the five year projections used during the FY16 budget process containing the information available at that time.

*Note*: FY15 Actuals are preliminary, unaudited, year end amounts. This table was updated after the ‘Review of Funds’

Until recently, General Fund revenues exceeded expenditures, as depicted in the following graph. The City Manager, Management Team, and staff have been working over the last few years to make the necessary structural adjustment to correct future defecits. Beginning in FY14 and continuing through FY16 with the City Manager’s two year plan, the City will reduce expenditures to levels that can be funded with reoccuring revenues. This will require reductions in personnel expenses and service expenditures. In FY16, the projected reductions amounts total approximately $2.1m with $1.5m of reductions coming from salaries, health insurance, overtime, and benefit costs.

GeneralFund Overview 5: General

General Fund Reserve Balance Policy In FY14 the City Council adopted a new fund balance policy. The adequacy of unrestricted fund balance in the general fund should be assessed based upon a government’s specific circumstances. The Government Finance Officers Association recommends, at a minimum, that general-purpose governments, regardless of size, incorporate in its financial policies that unrestricted fund balance in their general fund be no less than two average months of regular general fund operating revenues or regular general fund operating expenditures. If fund balance falls below the policy level it should be replenished within the subsequent year or in the case of an extraordinary expenditure three years.

GeneralFund Department Budgets 6: General FINANCE The Finance Department is responsible for all cash receipts and disbursements and maintenance of an internal control structure that adequately safeguards the assets of the City. Finance also oversees the auditing, procurement, and reporting functions of the City. The department’s expenditures are allocated between five programs. Those programs are Departmental Administration, Budget and Accounting Services, Debt and Cash Management, Procurement, and Support to Development. All Finance department programs are classified in and charged directly to the General Fund.

The Departmental Administration program’s primary function is to account for general and administrative expenditures necessary to operate the department. These charges are common to all divisions and not directly associated with any particular one, i.e. Information Technology Systems and Central Building Services overhead and replacement allocations.

The Budget and Accounting Services program involves the traditional processing of all of the City's invoices for goods and services and recording all related general ledger transactions in order to prepare financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This program is also responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure and procuring the independent financial audit each fiscal year. The objectives of an internal control structure are to provide management with reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition.

The Debt and Cash Management Program is responsible for establishing proper internal controls for the collection and distribution of revenue for the 70 active funds. In addition, this program oversees the City's outstanding and active debt issues approximating $74.3 million and maintains the City’s investment portfolio averaging $100 million according to the City investment policy and cash management procedures.

Procurement and Contract Services provides semi-centralized procurement of goods and services. The division is responsible for obtaining commodities and services at the most economical prices while ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and policies. It also directs the procurement of professional services, heavy equipment, small construction, vehicles and other goods and services. Lastly, the division establishes contracts to provide an immediate and uninterrupted source of supplies for frequently used items and is responsible for the disposal of surplus property.

The Support to Development program accounts for finance related expenditures attributed to economic development and any associated tax incentive programs.

The Business and Industry Tax fund was created to account for the license tax on certain gross receipts of hotels, motels and similar places of business, in an amount equal to 5% of gross daily rental receipts derived from transient guests for sleeping accommodations. The proceeds are used to promote the general economic welfare of the City including attraction and retention of business and industry to the community and the promotion and provision of facilities for tourism, conventions, and visitors. Businesses are allowed to deduct 2% processing fee if their tax is remitted before the 20th of the month. The 7 hotel/motels in the City have a total of 493 rooms with an average occupancy rate of 56% for fiscal years 2006, 2007, and 2008.

Average Occupancy Rate:  FY09 - 50.7%  FY10 - 48.3%  FY11 - 55.7%  FY12 - 55.0%  FY13 - 57.8% Revenues: FY16 assumes growth of 7% from the FY15 Budget. Year to date, revenues are 22% above FY15 budget and 17% above FY14 amounts. Beginning in FY11, the City's general fund transfered $62k to the Business and Industry Fund to prevent a negative fund balance. These payments have continued and are included in the projections for FY14. Additionally, in FY 06, $525k was transferred from the general fund to the Business and Industry Fund for the Downtown Masterplan Improvements five-year implementation plan. FY 2009-10 reflects the last year of payment toward the Downtown Masterplan. This is shown under contributions in the amount of $102,000. Beginning in FY15 general fund contributions were reduced as apart of the City Manager's recommended budget.

Expenditures: FY16 assumes a limited general fund contribution and transfer to the B&I Fund. The purpose of this transfer is to help ensure that B&I fund maintains a positve balance and offset decreased hotel/motel tax revenues. In FY12, contributions to the Chamber of Commerce increased to fund the 'Shop Lee's Summit' campaign. In FY11, funding for DLSMS services was revised to $60k following improvements implemented under the Downtown Masterplan.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS OVERVIEW A Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a major public infrastructure planning tool for many local governments. The CIP reflects the community’s assets, needs and goals, and is a statement of the City’s policies and projected financial ability to manage the physical development of the community. The development of a CIP matches information regarding planned public improvements with anticipated funding, and thus presents a systematic plan for providing the needed improvements within a prioritized framework.

The City’s Charter mandates the development and annual review of a capital improvements plan and estimated operating and maintenance costs of the proposed improvements. The plan is formally adopted each year by the Planning Commission as part of the Comprehensive Plan. This approach addresses legal requirements for public hearings on the location, nature and extent of all projects. All costs identified for the first year of the plan are included in the City’s Operating Budget, which is adopted by the Mayor and City Council, for the upcoming fiscal year.

The proposed five (5) year CIP for the City of Lee’s Summit sets the general schedule for which public improvements are proposed to be undertaken in that time frame. The CIP includes projects over $50,000 in total cost that are anticipated to be funded during the five-year period. Operating and maintenance expense information is provided for the first year of the plan when applicable. Annual maintenance programs, small projects and small planning studies, such as the street overlay program or system master plans, are typically included in the CIP as programs.

A CIP is not a static document, but rather a fluid document that can be changed as the infrastructure requirements change, development occurs, and funding opportunities become available. The remaining four (4) years of the five-year plan represent all projects that are currently proposed for future funding based on the revenue projections. As priorities, needs and revenues change, projects may be added to or removed from the CIP. Estimated expenses and revenue projections are reviewed annually and adjusted if necessary to account for growth, inflation and other economic conditions.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROCESS DEFINITION A capital improvement is a necessary or desirable project that extends or improves infrastructure and enhances the City’s ability to provide safe and desirable services for the benefit of the community and the quality of life in Lee’s Summit. These projects directly affect the way citizens live, travel and conduct business within the community.

IDENTIFICATION The need for capital improvements may be identified by an adopted infrastructure master plan, the desire to maintain certain levels and types of service provided in the community, by community groups, or by regulatory legislation. Projects are prioritized based on many factors including their impact on

City of Lee’s Summit Annual Budget FY16

159 | P a g e

8: Capital Project Funds General

providing better city services, accommodating city growth, effect on maintenance and operation expenditures, and the overall health, safety and welfare of the citizens.

CREATION The scope of a proposed project is often determined based on a preliminary study or recommendations from other city master plans. Once the project is identified a preliminary cost estimate and schedule for the design, right of way and easement acquisition, and construction of the project is prepared. These initial cost estimates are typically general in nature with considerable contingencies included. If the project is selected for inclusion in the CIP, the estimates and schedule are the basis of the initial project information.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN IMPLEMENTATION When a project on the CIP schedule is funded, it is assigned to a project manager who will assume oversight responsibilities. A number of steps are required before a project is complete.

DESIGN The project manager will coordinate and participate in the selection process for an engineering or architectural design firm, as appropriate. Architectural and engineering services contracts, unlike commodities contracts, are awarded to firms strictly on the qualifications and expertise of the firm in the particular type of project. The project manager is responsible for negotiating a detailed scope and fee for the design services with the selected consultant. Design for some projects may be completed by City staff or awarded to consultants through annual on-call contracts.

The design process is typically divided into several phases: concept and/or preliminary design, right-ofway plans, right-of-way appraisal and acquisition, and final design. Plans and cost estimates are prepared, either by the consultant or City staff, for review at least at these project milestones. If state or federal funding is involved, plans and estimates are also provided to the appropriate agency for review.

As more refined information on project scope and cost is developed, the CIP document is revised accordingly during the next annual update. Occasionally, projects may be deferred or deleted from the plan based on information gathered during the design process that indicates significant problems with pursuing the project.

Typically, one or more public meetings are held for major projects that have significant impacts on property owners and the public to obtain feedback and comments from the community. A meeting is often held at the completion of preliminary plans in order to let residents abutting the project know how the design will affect their properties. Comments made at the meetings are considered by City staff and the design firm for inclusion in revised plans, if appropriate, prior to appraisals and property acquisition. Other meetings may be held before any design is started and just before construction begins.

City of Lee’s Summit Annual Budget FY16

160 | P a g e

8: Capital Project Funds General

Right-of-way plans define the nature and extent of property required to complete a project. Property acquisition may be in the form of right-of-way, permanent easements or temporary construction easements. The City hires professional appraisers to determine fair market value of the acquisitions, which is the basis for initial offers to property owners. The City’s right-of-way agent and/or contract agents complete the negotiation and acquisition process for the projects.

Once all property is acquired, final plans and specifications can be completed. During this time, any necessary relocation of private utilities (gas, phone, power) is also accomplished. Typically, all relocations are complete prior to bidding a capital project.

ADVERTISEMENT, BID AND AWARD Capital projects are publicly advertised through the City’s Purchasing Division. City and consultant staff members evaluate all bids for completeness and correctness, and references for the low bidder are checked. Based on the review and references, the consultant or the City’s project manager makes a recommendation for award to the lowest and best bidder. The award of the construction contract is made by City Council.

SCHEDULE The construction contract sets forth the required completion time for the project. Time is counted from the date of the “Notice to Proceed” to the point of substantial completion and final completion. The duration is determined by the design consultant and/or City staff based on the scope of work, seasonal constraints, coordination with property owners, and impacts on the traveling public. The order and duration of specific tasks within the allotted contract time is typically determined by the contractor. The assessment of liquidated damages is included in construction contracts for failure to meet required completion dates.

CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION The City’s project manager for the design processor or a project manager from the construction management group is typically responsible for performing or coordinating project administration during construction. Such tasks generally include monitoring project progress, schedule and costs; coordinating and facilitating communications between the design consultant, inspections staff, contractor and City staff; negotiating and coordinating approval of changes in the project scope or cost; reviewing and approving regular progress payments; and reporting on the construction progress to City Council and the public through the City’s publications and website. Changes to the contract totaling up to five percent of the original bid price may be approved administratively by the appropriate Department Director. Changes that increase the cost in excess of that amount must be approved by the City Council.

SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION Substantial completion is defined as the time at which the project has progressed to the point where it is sufficiently complete that it can be utilized for the intended purpose. At this time, a comprehensive

City of Lee’s Summit Annual Budget FY16

161 | P a g e

8: Capital Project Funds General

inspection is performed by City staff and the design consultant to create a list of all incorrect or outstanding items (a “punch list”) remaining to be completed or corrected. The punch list items and all other deficiencies must be completed before final acceptance of the project by the City, and final payment to the contractor.

FINAL ACCEPTANCE Final acceptance is realized when the contractor has completed all work on the project, including punch list items, has provided the City with a maintenance bond, and has submitted all other close-out documents in accordance with the construction contract. The project manager is responsible for preparing a final project report and submitting it to city and department management staff as well as to City Council. Any unspent funds authorized for a project will be returned to the appropriate funding source for reallocation to future projects.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN FUNDING Revenue Sources All funding sources that may be used for various capital improvements are reviewed each year. Much of the work to develop the CIP focuses on the balancing of available resources with the identified capital needs. Consideration must be given to factors such as annual revenue projections from various sources, restrictions on the uses of certain funds, legal limitations on debt capacity, and City policies relative to project funding. The following is a list of existing funding sources and definitions for each: TAXES Property Tax- Revenue from the ad valorem tax levied on all real and personal property, based upon the assessed valuation established by the County Assessor on January 1st of each year. Real property assessed valuation is determined by applying the “market value” times the appropriate assessment ratios. As follows: • • • •

Commercial/Industrial: 32% Residential: 19% Agricultural: 12% Personal Property assessed valuation is set at 33% of market value and is determined by the State Tax Commission.

Sales Tax- The City imposes a total sales tax of 2.25% (Capital Improvement: 0.50%, General fund: 1.0%, Parks and Recreation: 0.25%, Transportation: 0.50%) on all goods and commodities sold within the City limits with the exception of drugs and farm machinery. The tax is also levied on all vehicles registered by residents of the City, regardless of where those vehicles were purchased. Transportation tax is not

levied on utilities and is earmarked specifically for use in funding transportation projects only. The State of Missouri receives the tax from the respective business and distributes the funds monthly to the City.

Parks & Recreation 1/4-Cent Sales Tax- Initially approved in November 1997 for 3/8-cent and renewed in February 2006 for ¼-cent, this revenue source is dedicated to Parks and Recreation improvements including completion of Legacy Park facilities, new park development, the Senior Center, and greenway development.

Transportation ½-Cent Sales Tax- Approved initially in the 1980s, this tax is available to pay for transportation and traffic infrastructure improvements and major maintenance, such as overlay and slurry seal, curb and gutter replacement, crack sealing and pavement marking. This sales tax also provides funding for several other Public Works Programs including bridge rehabilitation, thoroughfare and traffic master plan studies, community bus services and the Neighborhood Traffic Safety Program.

Capital Improvement ½-Cent Sales Tax- Originally approved in November 1997, this tax has been used in conjunction with the Road Excise tax to fund road improvements related to the “10-year road plan” adopted in 1997. The sales tax was renewed in April 2007 with collection beginning in 2008 and ending in 2018. This renewal of the sales tax will fund a second “10-year road plan” comprising 6 major projects.

Road Excise Tax- Excise Tax is paid for development that generates new traffic in the City in the form of a license tax on building contractors. This revenue source is available for road improvements throughout the City that are required due to growth to at least some degree. The excise tax will continue to be used for the remaining projects from the first 10-year plan until it is complete.

Transportation Development Districts A geographic area may be designated to levy an additional sales or property tax assessment to pay for transportation related infrastructure improvements.

Tax Increment Financing Provides for the capture of 50% of the Economic Activity Taxes (Sales and Franchise) generated within the boundaries of a designated area to be used to finance infrastructure improvements. All of the incremental increases in real estate taxes are also captured from all taxing jurisdictions until the infrastructure is paid off.

BOND PROCEEDS General Obligation (G.O.) Bonds- Bonds which are backed by the full faith and credit of the City and require either a 2/3rds or 4/7ths voter approval. Limitations for bonding capacity are set by state statute.

Revenue Bonds- Bonds which are backed by the fees and charges of a business-like government function, payable only from a specific source of revenue. Simple majority voter approval required.

City of Lee’s Summit Annual Budget FY16

163 | P a g e

8: Capital Project Funds General

Limitations for bonding capacity are not set by state statute but rather the entity’s ability to repay the debt.

Certificates of Participation- Bonds which are backed by general revenues or fees and charges of a government. No voter approval is required. Limitations for bonding capacity are determined by the market and the entity’s ability to repay the debt.

Special Obligation Bonds- Bonds which are backed by general revenues or fees and charges of a government. No voter approval is required. Limitations for bonding capacity are determined by the market and the entity’s ability to repay.

GRANT FUNDING Grants may be received from federal, state or county governments. Grants are typically available for transportation, airport improvements, parks, and public safety equipment. The City also receives community development block grants (CDBG) for use in low-to-moderate income areas within the community. Equipment purchases and CDBG projects are not included in the CIP. FEES AND CHARGES Fees for direct receipt of public service by the parties who benefit from the service Landfill Tipping and Yard Waste Disposal Fees- Collected by Public Works Solid Waste Division for disposal of refuse or yard waste at the Resource Recovery Park.

Parks and Recreation Activity Fees- Collected by Parks & Recreation Department for participation in various sports and recreation programs, aquatic instruction, and the Camp Summit and Club Summit daycare programs at the Recreation Center.

Recreation Memberships- Membership fees collected for the Lee’s Summit Pool and the Legacy Park Community Center.

Water Sales- Charges for supplying water to residential, commercial, industrial and wholesale customers.

Sewer Charges- Charges for providing wastewater collection and disposal services to residential, commercial and industrial customers.

Sewer Tap- The charge for a new sanitary sewer connection based on the number of drains in a structure and assessed at the time of building permit issuance.

General 8: Capital Project Funds

CIP IMPACT ON OPERATING BUDGET As part of the Capital Improvement Plan, the impact of each project on the City’s operating budget is identified. As capital improvement projects are completed, operation and maintenance of these facilities must be absorbed into the appropriate department operating budget, which provides ongoing services to citizens. These operating costs, which may include salaries, equipment, regular maintenance, and repairs, are adjusted annually to accommodate growth and inflation in maintaining or improving service levels. In some cases, elimination of high-maintenance facilities may also reduce these operating costs.

It is the City of Lee’s Summit’s philosophy that new projects should not be constructed if operating revenues are unavailable to cover the operating costs. These must be funded with recurring (ongoing) revenues. As a result, the availability of recurring revenues must be considered in the decision to include projects in the plan.

The 2016-2020 CIP totals $284,700,000 (including funding from prior years), down from $296,055,000 in the 2015-2019 plan. The decrease in the total is due primarily to the completion of various projects previously included in the CIP. Significant changes to the CIP include:

Completed Projects •

Arterial Streetlights, Phase 2

•

Chipman Road & Commerce Drive Signal

•

Hook Road, Ward Road to Route 291

•

9: Proprietary Funds General

PROPRIETARY FUNDS

Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations that provide a service to the general public and are financed primarily by a user charge for the provision of such service. The city operates four enterprises: the Water/Sewer Utility, the Municipal Airport, the Sanitary Landfill, and the Recreation Center.

Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods or services provided by one department to other departments of the City on a cost-reimbursement basis. The City has seven Internal Service Funds. The Central Vehicle Maintenance Fund and Management Information Systems Funds were established to provide replacement vehicles and data processing equipment and the related maintenance services to the various City departments. Unemployment Insurance Fund, Insurance Reserve Trust Fund, Short Term Disability, and Worker’s Compensation Self Insurance Fund were established to account for the City provided employee benefits. New in Fiscal Year 2007-2008 is the Central Building Services Fund. This fund will provide funding for capital maintenance projects.

The City utilizes Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (GAAP) based budgeting for these funds.

This requires that the full accrual method be used to record revenues and expenditures. This presentation records long-term assets and liabilities, and recognizes revenues and expenses when transactions occur.

178 | P a g e

CENTRAL BUILDING SERVICES Central Building Services (CBS) is an internal services fund comprised of five service functions: Capital Project Management Services, Building Maintenance Services, Custodial Services, Utilities and General Services including the Building Equipment Replacement Program (BERP). The City Architect manages CBS. Capital Project Management Services focuses on new building project development such as the new Indoor Firing Range/Training Facility for the Police Department, as well as building or site renovation projects such as the renovation of the Police Department Detention Facility. The City Architect dedicates 75% of his time to provide design and construction oversight, while assisting the responsible department’s project team from concept through completion.

The Building Maintenance Services staff includes 25% of the City Architects time as well as 2.25 FTEs. One staff member is a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) technician. The services provided include routine maintenance, scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, repairs and general upkeep of facilities throughout the City. Specifically, they are responsible for maintaining City Hall, City Hall Parking Garage, all City fire stations, Animal Control, Public Works Maintenance Facility, Arnold Hall, Amtrak Station and downtown restrooms. Most maintenance related on-call contracts are administered as part of the services provided and includes elevator inspections, fire alarm inspections, window washing and carpet cleaning. Duty hours are from 6:30 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday.

The Custodial Services staff includes 5.5 FTEs. The services typically include custodial and janitorial duties including floor care, trash disposal, recycling and detail cleaning of staff offices, restrooms and public spaces. Outside duties include snow and trash removal. 3 FTEs are assigned to City Hall/Parking Garage who work 3rd shift hours from 11:00 PM to 7:30 AM, Sunday night through Thursday night. 1 FTE is also assigned to City Hall/Parking Garage and 1 FTE is assigned to the Public Works Maintenance Facility and Animal Control working from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday through Friday. 0.5 FTE is assigned to Fire Headquarters and the Municipal Court and works from 5:00AM to 9:00 AM.

FLEET OPERATIONS FUND The Fleet Operations Fund is an Internal Service Fund. Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing on cost-reimbursement basis of goods or services provided by one department to other departments within the same governmental organization.

The Fleet Operations Fund is comprised of two parts, first the Vehicle Replacement Fund (VERP) which provides motor vehicle fleet replacement services to the various City departments. All City motor vehicles are now owned by this fund. The departments then leases or rent their vehicles at a rate that will provide funds for the replacement of that particular piece of equipment at a scheduled future date.

By charging a yearly rate with a technology multiplier, over the life of the equipment, this system enables the City to replace vehicles within efficient lifecycle time frame and not just when funds are available. This will provide all Departments with safe and efficient vehicles throughout the fiscal year while maintaining a steady yearly payment at much lower rates than direct replacement cost. The fund also allows for the ability to capture new technology allowing for lower fuel cost and reduced emissions output.

The second part of the Fleet Operations Fund is the Overhead, this fund is comprised of cost for the daily operation which provides twenty four hour service to all using departments, Fleet Operations provides all maintenance and repairs to over four hundred pieces of equipment, and our mission is to provide the best service and staff by partnering with departments and vendors to effectively monitor and ensure the most cost effective repair and replacement of vehicles and equipment. With effectively monitoring repairs and maintenance schedules the Fleet Division is committed to providing the most cost effective service while recognizing the value of the ever changing field and capitalizing on changing technology. The overhead fund is provided by charging a weighted percentage of operational overhead costs based on a three year average of the work order hours generated by the using department. The established maintenance program has also yielded longer useful life and higher resale values.

Water Utilities The Water Utilities Department serves over 35,000 customers. The total water supply has increased to 27.5 million gallons per day (MGD) with the completion of the third phase of the Jackson Cass Transmission Main with Kansas City. Lee’s Summit has contractual supply of 21 MGD from the City of Kansas City, Missouri and 7.5 MGD from the City of Independence, Missouri. Water demands increased considerably in the summer of 2012 due to hot and dry weather conditions. Water restrictions were enacted due to the failure of one of the major connections with Kansas City in July. Customer cooperation to alternate irrigation schedules allowed for storage levels to reach stable conditions and allowed for restrictions to be lifted.

The City of Lee’s Summit and Little Blue Valley Sewer District have a contractual agreement for ongoing treatment and pumping within the Little Blue Valley drainage basin to accommodate existing and future customers within Lee's Summit. In order to maximize capacity of the sanitary sewer system, Water Utilities continues to focus on Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) reduction programs.

The Water Utilities Department completed a Strategic Plan for the Utility in December of 2011, which was the result of a comprehensive assessment and strategic planning process involving the Utility’s stakeholders. The Plan specifically addressed a need to improve customer understanding and relations; to develop a program for the renewal of existing aged infrastructure; to establish appropriate policies to address financial challenges; and to proactively address long-term needs to ensure a sustainable utility.

The Plan will also position the utility to be responsive to the impact of regulatory and economic factors that are affecting the utility today and in for the foreseeable future.

In 2012 the Utility began implementing the Plan’s recommendations; the establishment of the Water Utilities Advisory Board to ensure customer input on the direction of the Utility; an online customer account system that offers ebilling and more details about their monthly bills; a new position to focus on community relations; and a financial plan including a rate schedule to support a sustainable utility.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT FUND The Solid Waste Management Fund accounts for all revenues and expenses related to the City's Resource Recovery Park.

The Resource Recovery Park, which operates on a six-day per week schedule, encompasses an area of approximately 275 acres including a 80 acre sanitary landfill, a four acre yard waste composting facility, a one acre drop-off recycling center, and a Household Hazardous Waste disposal area. An additional 80 acres of the site is set aside as a soil borrow area while the remainder of the property serves as a buffer from the abutting property owners.

A Solid Waste Superintendent, Site Supervisor, ten full time employees, and two part-time employees staff the Solid Waste Division of the Public Works Department. Staff is responsible for day to day operations for municipal solid waste disposal, composting, brush collection and drop-off recycling.

Household hazardous waste facilities and compost-loading facilities also enhance customer service.

Staff must continue regular operations during all weather conditions; all possible efforts are expended to ease access to the different facilities.

Customer service receives high priority in the Solid Waste Division. Customer awareness is provided through the distribution of recycling information and instructions for safe alternatives for disposal of hazardous household waste, recycling, solid waste and yard waste.

Tipping fees for municipal solid waste, yard waste, and the sale of compost and mulch, generates fund revenue. Governed by state law, as well as City ordinance, yard waste cannot be placed in the sanitary landfill. Although no fees are charged for dropping off recyclables at the recycling center, the fund does generate limited revenue from the sale of specific recyclable items. This facility is subsidized from the Solid Waste Fund.

A general and administrative fee is paid to the City's General Fund to recover indirect expenses incurred

by General Fund staff, including the Public Works Engineering, Finance, Human Resources and Law Departments. The fee is calculated based upon General Fund Department usage.

In accordance with GAAP based budgeting, the Solid Waste Management Fund is reported as an enterprise fund. The non-cash expense of depreciation/depletion is recorded to show how much of the facility has been consumed. Although capital outlay and bond principal redemption is a reallocation of current assets, amounts for these appear in this budget for informational and cash flow purposes only.

The plan approved by the voters and City Council in 1994 provided for a 20-year life expectancy at 350 tons per day while maintaining suitable revenues sufficient to offset expenses.

The sanitary landfill complies with applicable Federal Environmental Protection Agency and Missouri Department of Natural Resources regulations relating to closure/post closure.

AIRPORT FUND

The Airport Operating Fund is an enterprise fund that accounts for all revenues and expenses related to the municipally owned airport.

The Lee's Summit Municipal Airport is designated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as a reliever airport for the Kansas City metropolitan area and as such is designed to reduce congestion at larger air carrier airports by providing general aviation pilots with alternate landing facilities. It is further classified as a general aviation utility airport serving planes with gross weights of less than 30,000 lbs. and landing speeds less than 121 knots. The airport is equipped with two runways: a 4,016 ft North/South (18-36), and a 3,800 ft Crosswind (11-29). Following recommendation in the 2010 adopted Airport Business Plan the City has initiated an engineering contract for services to provide the design work for the first phase of development involving the grading for a 1,285-foot extension to the south.

This work is being performed with the assistance of federal and state aviation grants. In conjunction with the completed Preliminary Development Plan (PDP) for the eastside terminal area city staff has continued to work with several parties interested in developing facilities in this area.

Airport fund revenues are generated through the sale of aviation fuel, navigational charts and pilot supplies, the leasing of 75 tie-down spaces, 40 open T-hangar spaces and 113 enclosed hangar spaces and six ground leases for privately owned hangars.

Outstanding debt consists of an inter-fund loan from the General Fund. The inter-fund loan was used to refund prior debt issues that were at significantly higher interest rates. This inter-fund loan is being repaid on a monthly basis over the next five years at a fixed interest rate of 1%.

The Airport Fund is accounted for as enterprise fund and utilizes Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) based budgeting. This requires that the accrual basis of accounting method is used to record revenues and expenditures. Although capital outlay and bond principal redemption is a reallocation of current assets, amounts for these transactions appear in this budget for informational and cash flow purposes only.

The Claims and Damages Reserve Fund accounts for expenses associated with liability and property claims. Claims from all City departments up to the City’s self insured retention of $50,000 per occurrence are paid from the fund.

Funding is determined through loss history to cover anticipated claims and damages expenses each budget year. City departments contribute a baseline amount of $5,000 to the fund annually, which accounts for $75,000. The remaining amount, currently established at $75,000, is funded through claims history analysis. Each department with claims history for the past three years is assigned a pro-rata share of the remaining $75,000.00. This method assures contribution from all City departments while assessing risk costs appropriately based on actual losses incurred.

This fund was established to account for the monies necessary to self-insure the City's Workers Compensation claims. In January 2011, an actuarial analysis identified the following: - Self-insured retentions (beginning fund balance): FY 13-14 $643,918 (discounted reserves at 90% confidence, Bornhuetter-Ferguson technique*); - Funding (total revenues); discounted funding at 90% confidence); FY 10-11 $729,656, FY 11-12 $759,061, FY 12-13 $789,652; FY13-14 $649,616; FY14-15 $675,795 The continuing efforts to reduce frequency of claims and contain claim costs through negotiated discounts on medical expenses and using modified duty return to work resulted in lower overall damages and claims expense.Included in expenses is a line item for prior year claim expense. Professional Fees and Administrative Costs include state-required third party administrative fees and expenses for the discounted medical health provider network. The Insurance expense line includes the state required Self-Insurer Bond, Excess Insurance coverage Premium, Worker's Comp Tax and the 2nd Injury Fund Surcharge.

Funding for upcoming and each year premiums (amounts assessed to departmental budgets) are adjusted to bring the fund balance in line with the projected retentions. Premium amount is divided into departments based on prior year's percentage of use. Premiums for fiscal year 2011-2012 increased $49,478 from the fiscal year 2010-2011 budget. No premium increase was budgeted for fiscal year 2012-2013.

Interest revenues have been estimated at an average rate of 1% for Fiscal Year 2012 and .75% for fiscal year 2013.

Beginning in FY15, Workers Compensation budget amounts were calculated to recover all projected costs. This was done to maintain the current fund balance and reserves. *Bornhuetter-Ferguson technique estimates ultimate losses using a combination of expected losses (payroll x expected loss cost) and loss development techniques

10: Debt Service Funds General

DEBT SERVICE FUNDS The city utilizes three funds to record the receipt and disbursement of monies used to repay principal and interest charges on city issued debt. The following are the three funds used to record this activity: General Obligation Bonds, Northeast Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District Infrastructure Improvement Bonds, and Park Certificate of Participation (COP) Debt Fund.

The General Obligation Debt Service Fund is used to account for the annual retirement of bonds issued from 2003 through 2010. Expenditures from this fund include the payment of interest and fiscal agent charges plus the scheduled repayment of the principal balance. The ad valorem tax on real and personal property provides the primary source of revenue to make these semiannual payments. Interest income on investments of the reserve amounts provides the remainder of revenue.

The Park COP Debt Service Fund was established to account for the issuance of COPs related to Legacy Park, the Greenway Project, and the Senior Center. This fund receives the revenues generated by the one-fourth cent "Parks & Soils" sales tax.

The Northeast Tax Increment Financing District Fund is where incremental property taxes (related to the improvements made on the property after the TIF district was formed) received on the designated parcels within the TIF district are used to make principal and interest payments on the city’s debt issued to construct streets and sanitary sewers in the district.

The basis of accounting is the same for both budgeting and GAAP reporting purposes. This requires that the modified accrual method bases, with the revenues being recorded when measurable and available, and expenditures being recorded when the liability is incurred.

Revenues susceptible to accrual are sales taxes, economic activity taxes, property taxes and interest revenue.

The General Obligation Debt Service Fund is used to account for the annual debt service on General Obligation (GO) bonds issued by the City. Expenditures from the fund include the payment of interest and fiscal agent charges plus the scheduled repayment of the principal balance. The ad valorem tax on Real and Personal Property provides the primary source of revenue to make these annual payments. Interest income on the reserve amounts provides the remainder of revenue.

$5,000,000 of debt was issued in both December 2009 and December 2010. Additional debt issuance is anticipated in FY 2011-12 as authorized in the November 2007 election. $10,075,000 in bonds authorized but not yet issued will be issued over the next 2 years (not included in the above projections). $37.4 million of new bonds were authorized on November 2, 2010 and are anticipated to be issued over the next 3 years (also not included in the above projections). In April 2013, voters approved a $7.5m bond issue for a cultural arts campus and downtown street improvements.

Interest Revenue has been calculated at an annual rate of 1% for Fiscal Year 2013-14 and .5% for 2014-15.

The Park Certificate of Participation (COP) Debt Service Fund was established to account for the issuance of debt related to the acquisition of land and development of Legacy Park and Greenway Projects. This fund receives the revenues generated by the 1/4 cent "Parks & Soils" sales tax. This sales tax was reduced from 3/8 cent to 1/4 cent in April 2008 as approved by the voters.

In 2006, the City issued debt relating to the new plan for the parks system, "Legacy for Tomorrow and Beyond." The amount of money required for debt service on the 2006 COPs during the current fiscal year is retained in this fund, and monies in excess of that amount may be transferred to the city park construction funds.

Interest earnings are calculated at 1% for Fiscal Year 2013-14 and .5% for 2014-15, based on the retention in this fund of only the monies required for the current year's debt service with all additional amounts being transferred to the City Park Fund 057.
