Mull B Building 2028 Riversiide Drive Asheville, No orth Carolina 28804 Subject: FY12‐13 Budggets and Prop posed Sewer Rates Dear Members of the Board, We resp pectfully pressent the FY13 3 Budget for the Metropoolitan Seweraage District o of Buncombe County, North Caroliina. The budgget incorporates staff reco ommendationns presented to and accep pted by the Peersonnel Committee, which met o on May 2, 201 12, the Capitaal Improvemeent Program Committee, w which met on n May 3, he Finance Co ommittee, wh hich met on M May 9, 2012. 2012, and th We havve developed the FY13 Budget to advvance the orrganization’s mission “to provide wasstewater collection an nd treatmentt to its users which promo otes the hea lth and safety of affected d citizens in the most effective an nd efficient manner m possible today and in the fuuture”. The ffollowing opeerational and d capital budget is de esigned to provide service es meeting orr exceeding a ll state regulaations and Bo ond Order co ovenants with which tthe District m must comply, w with any rate changes to bbe at the loweest responsib ble level.
Current Year Y Highlights In FY12,, the District’s domestic and industrial revenue is eexpected to m meet budgeteed projections. While some light and medium m commerciall consumers are still feelling the effeccts of the reecession, the District continues to o achieve grow wth in the nu umber of resid dential custom mers. The Disttrict has had d to contend with increassed healthca re cost as w well as increased fuel costt. These increased co osts have been offset by a decrease in interest exxpenditures and debt administrative cost. By limiting the increase of o other operatin ng expenditures and by sttrategically planning the timing of CIP p projects, the District h has been able e to limit the proposed ratte increase too 2.5% for thee upcoming year. Addition nally, the District’s lon ng‐range bussiness plan in ncorporates these changees and projeccts that futurre rate increaases will approximate e 2.5% for the e remaining n nine years. This bud dget continues several re ecent initiativves to mainttain the District’s overall strategy of keeping ng significan collection liines and the e plant funcctioning effecctively whilee rehabilitatin nt portions o of aging infrastructure. The mostt important goal g remains meeting all regulatory peermit requireements includ ding the reduction off sanitary sew wer overflowss (SSOs).

2012‐2013 BUDGET DOCUMENT
TO: Members of the Board SUBJECT: FY12‐13 Budgets and Proposed Sewer Rates June 13, 2012 The Systems Services Department continues to expand its participation in sewer line rehabilitation and replacement efforts to minimize SSOs. Goals for FY 2012‐13 include utilizing Infrastructure Rehabilitation System (IRS) lining and dig‐and‐replacement construction to rehabilitate and replace at least 20,000 linear feet, while providing preventative maintenance for approximately 500,000 linear feet of the system by employing in‐house jet wash cleaning and both chemical and mechanical root control. In addition, the Systems Services Department will manage the District’s Right‐of‐Way maintenance program whereby easements will be periodically cleared or mowed. The Wastewater Treatment Plant is continuing systematic improvements as part of the District’s detailed Facilities Management Plan. In FY13, the District will finish the large project to replace the existing secondary microscreens started in FY11 as well as rehabilitation of the plant’s aged power supply system and hydro facility.
Operating Budget The proposed $14.7 million operating budget represents routine expenditures and capital equipment acquisitions needed for the day‐to‐day operations of the District. Highlights of significant components and changes include: Compensation and Benefits: The staff and employees considered salary and health insurance increases together as part of a comprehensive compensation package. A 2.0% cost of living increase and a 2.0% merit raise increase: CPI increased 3.9% for the last twelve‐month period; Division Directors in conjunction with Employee Advisory Committee have requested cost of living as well as a merit rate increase to keep pace with industry salary increases as well as to encourage retention of valued employees. The Personnel Committee has recommended a 2.0% cost of living increase and a 2.0% merit raise increase. This has a $43,426 net impact on current year expenditures. A 1.0% increase in funding for self‐insured medical plan: During FY12, staff worked with the Employee Advisory Committee and initiated a top to bottom review of our existing broker and medical insurance providers. The effort has resulted in substantial savings in brokerage fees, drug cost, reinsurance savings and the opportunity to further reduce medical insurance service costs to employees. The two groups continue to work on a long‐term strategic plan to address controllable medical issues. The 1% increase in employer contribution is estimated to be sufficient to cover expenses of the plan while maintaining prudent reserves for claims. This has a $17,181 net impact on current year expenditures.

2012‐2013 BUDGET DOCUMENT
TO: Members of the Board SUBJECT: FY12‐13 Budgets and Proposed Sewer Rates June 13, 2012 A 2.9% decrease in funding for North Carolina retirement cost: Due to recession of 2008, the Local Governmental Employees’ Retirement Systems (LGERS) experienced a reduction of $4.9 billion in plan assets. In the current year, LGERS had a better than anticipated return on plan assets. This reduced FY13 contribution from 6.96% to 6.74%. Over the next eight years, contribution rates are still projected to increase to an amount slightly over 9%. This has a $16,045 impact on current year expenditures. Funding for Post‐Employment Health Benefit: Starting in FY09, GASB 45 required recognition of cost for Post‐Employment Health Benefits. An actuarial study was done last year, which stated that current year funding should be $222,900. Current funding has been implemented into the proposed FY13 budget and the current business plan and represents 1.5% of total operations. Materials, Supplies, and Service expenditures increased 0.6% over prior year: The District has made a concerted effort to hold materials, supplies, and services cost close to the prior year’s level, taking into account inflationary cost increases. The District has increased its fuel line item 9.1% based on current economic trends. Discretionary expenditures have been limited where practicable. This has a $37,929 impact on current year expenditures.
Capital Improvement Program The District prepares a ten‐year Capital Improvement Program as required by its State Collection System Permit and the Consolidation Agreements. The estimated construction expenditure for FY13 is $18.4 million, which is comprised of an estimated $17.2 million in construction, $200,000 of reimbursement and $1 million in contingency. A detailed list of individual projects and planned expenditures by year was presented at the May 3, 2012 CIP meeting. The Board has consistently financed its capital improvement program through revenue bonds and pay‐ as‐you‐go moneys. As of June 30, 2012, the District will have $96.2 million in outstanding revenue bond debt, with total debt service of $8.2 million due before the end of the fiscal year. Of the total debt, approximately $19.9 million is variable rate debt. Unlike counties and cities, the District does not have a legally mandated debt limit. However, the District does have a rate covenant. The covenant requires the District to set rates and charges so that income available for debt service will not be less than 120% of fiscal year debt service requirement. MSD has initiated a major program to rehabilitate its Wastewater Collection System. This program will conform to the North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources (NCDENR) new Collection System Permit requirements, and will improve the operational performance and extend the life of the collection system. The estimated cost over a 10‐year period is approximately $149.1 million. This Permit ushers in a change in focus of the District’s Capital Improvement Plan. In the previous decade, efforts had been directed to expediting completion of certain projects identified by the member agencies and assumed by the District during the consolidation process. For example, construction of the 23.8‐mile North Swannanoa

TO: Members of the Board SUBJECT: FY12‐13 Budgets and Proposed Sewer Rates June 13, 2012 Interceptor begun in 1993 was completed during FY 2004 at a cost in excess of $44 million. Now that most of these “consolidation” projects have been completed, our focus has been redirected to rehabilitation of the State‐mandated 250,000 feet of sewer line every five (5) years and other projects identified in the Master Plan. This rehabilitation has been made more cost‐effective by the development of the Pipe Rating Program. Pipe Rating is a proactive planning tool, which utilizes Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) information, a GIS database, and actual maintenance history to view, rate, and computer‐score pipe segments based on a number of factors. These factors, for any given manhole‐to‐manhole segment, include maintenance work order history, number, and severity of defects, and record of overflows on that segment, and are combined to yield a rating useful for prioritizing rehabilitation efforts. Pipe Rating minimizes costs by helping the District focus rehabilitation dollars where they are needed most, rather than the previous replacement of collector lines throughout an entire basin. In recognition of this innovative program, the Association of Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies (AMSA) awarded the District one of only two 2003 National Environmental Achievement Awards. Major projects for FY13 include the $818,600 Givens Estates with over 3,702 linear feet, $637,100 Merrimon Avenue at Stratford with over 2,527 linear feet, $1,180,000 Short Coxe at Southside with over 3,625 linear feet, $902,000 PRP Lining Contract #7 with over 10,000 linear feet, and the completion of the Secondary Microscreen project at a cost $2.6 million. In FY13, plant electrical system improvements are scheduled to cost $1.0 million. These are in addition to numerous smaller projects completed throughout the collection system. Further details are available in the CIP section of the budget document. The District’s Collection System Master Plan addresses the orderly extension of the District’s collection system into future service areas. The plan has been prepared in close cooperation with the District’s member agencies and regional stakeholders. The land use policies and zoning regulations of each agency were used for land usage, growth projections/densities, and line locations. For areas outside of corporate or jurisdictional limits, Buncombe County’s proposed Zoning Ordinance has played an integral role in defining future service areas. The plan will serve as a basis to ensure that the sewer system will be extended in an orderly fashion, and is done so in accordance with the planning policies of the various local governments within the District’s service area. During FY07, a new Facilities Plan was completed for the Water Reclamation Facility. Although there has been no major increase in flow, some equipment at the Facility was reaching the end of their useful life. Consulting engineers met with staff to evaluate current operations and equipment and to prepare recommendations for maintenance and improvements. Four projects were identified as critical and were included in the ten‐year CIP: Grit and Grease Removal—Grit and grease facilities were not working effectively and were causing problems with downstream processes. This process was rehabilitated during FY08 by both WRF www.msdbc.org

TO: Members of the Board SUBJECT: FY12‐13 Budgets and Proposed Sewer Rates June 13, 2012 maintenance staff and contractors at a cost of $554,000. This represents approximately 10% of the cost to completely replace the equipment. Secondary Microscreens—Rusty and no longer performing satisfactorily, this equipment has become an operational and maintenance headache. Being the critical barrier between the WRF and the river, the secondary microscreens have been scheduled for replacement. Design is complete with construction beginning in FY11 with completion in FY13. Total cost of the project is estimated to be $10.4 million. Intermediate Pumps—These aging pumps are hydraulically driven which is highly inefficient, and there is concern of contaminating the effluent with hydraulic fluid should the system leak. The FY07 Facilities Plan called for installing new variable‐speed electric pumps. The cost of replacing the aging pumps will be approximately $2.5 million. The project was completed in FY11. Rotating Biological Contactors (RBC)—These large rotating wheels house biomass growth, which dip into the wastewater and allow waste to be biologically consumed as it flows through the basins. These RBCs can weigh up to 45,000 pounds and after turning constantly for 20 years propelled by compressed air, some are suffering mechanical failure and broken shafts. Access is problematic and replacements units use an electric motor, rather than the current compressed air configuration. Currently, this process is operating adequately, and funds for further study into replacement of or alternatives to this process have been included in future years of the CIP.
Impact of CIP on Operations For most municipal and county governments, capital improvements often result in higher operating costs. For example, larger buildings increase utility expenses, and new facilities such as libraries or swimming pools involve hiring additional staff. The opposite holds true for the District. Through major rehabilitation projects to the sewer collection system, the District is expected to realize a modest cost reduction in wastewater treatment operations by reducing infiltration of groundwater and inflow of surface water into the sewer system. Mud and grit, which accompany infiltration/inflow will also be reduced, thereby increasing the life of pumps and other treatment equipment adversely effected by abrasion. Other savings are realized from capital expenditures as new or rehabilitated sewer lines also require less maintenance and are not as susceptible to frequent blockages and overflows as older and smaller lines. The District’s major environmental responsibility is reduction of Sewer System Overflows (SSOs). Staff has estimated the average cost of responding to an SSO to be approximately $2,175. During FY 2000, the District experienced more than 289 SSOs, which have been reduced to less than 40 in recent years. Thus, the District has been able to focus approximately $500,000 additional dollars annually on preventative maintenance as opposed to responding to spill events. www.msdbc.org

TO: Members of the Board SUBJECT: FY12‐13 Budgets and Proposed Sewer Rates June 13, 2012 Moreover, the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources has the discretion to levy fines up to $25,000 per day per SSO if the District does not follow through on renovations and rehabilitations planned for areas identified as requiring capital improvements. Therefore, the CIP has a positive impact on operations by reducing repair and replacement while avoiding environmental penalties.
Sewer Rate Increase Staff recommends a 2.5% increase in domestic sewer rates and meter fees for FY13, including a previously approved plan to achieve flow rate parity between industrial and domestic users. This amount is in line with past increases. We believe this rate increase is prudent under the current economic situation and is necessary to provide for the following District responsibilities and objectives: Obligation of State Collection Permit for approximately 250,000 LF/5 years rehabilitation Debt coverage ratio attractive to investors and rating agencies Support of the pay‐as‐you‐go element of the CIP in addition to bonds Continue with goal of periodic smaller rate increases in lieu of large increase in future years Adequate current funding and maintenance of prudent reserves for self‐insured medical and dental plan In the past, the MSD Board has endeavored to keep rate increases to a minimum. The District’s Bond Order requires sewer rates be set to ensure that the excess of revenues over current expenditures is at least 120% of debt service. Additionally, the board balances the bond order requirements while maintaining all regulatory and fiduciary responsibilities. Domestic sewer rates for the past five years as well as FY13 are shown below:

Background of Entity The Metropolitan Sewerage District of Buncombe County, North Carolina, established under an act of the state legislature, is a local governmental agency providing wastewater collection and treatment services to approximately 50,000 residences and businesses located in several municipalities and certain unincorporated areas in Buncombe County. The governing board is comprised of twelve members appointed by eight local governments who serve three‐year overlapping terms. The District owns a 40 million gallon per day (MGD) wastewater treatment plant and the associated collection network of approximately 977 miles of collector sewers, 29,000 manholes, and 31 pump stations. The District is responsible for current operation and maintenance of this infrastructure, as well as for planning for future operations and capacity. An expanded section on the history and composition of the District along with an overview of the regional economy is located in the Appendix.
Mission Statement and Goals The budgetary process starts with the mission statement promulgated by the District Board. To achieve the purpose articulated in the mission statement, staff is charged with developing long‐term goals and the short‐ term objectives designed to achieve these goals. Using this framework, annual operating and construction budgets are proposed to fulfill these short‐term objectives and thus meet or reach toward long‐term goals. Therefore, an understanding of the mission statement and the underlying goals and objectives provide a context for the decisions made in developing the annual budget. Each departmental goal and objective is tied to one or more of the non‐financial or financial policies to coordinate and prioritize the District’s focus, initiatives, and efforts.
Mission Statement: To provide wastewater collection and treatment to its users which promotes the health and safety of affected citizens in the most effective and efficient manner possible today and in the future. Long‐Term Goals: Staff has developed four goals to be pursued in support of the Mission Statement adopted by the Board: 1. Protection of health, safety, and the environment 2. Excellence in customer service 3. Cost‐effectiveness 4. Continuous improvement

Financial Plan (continued) Managers and employees use these goals to determine appropriateness of and to enhance coordination and consistency of decisions, activities, and initiatives throughout the District. Short‐Term Objectives: Objectives are specific achievements or strategies, which support or lead to long‐ term goals and are used to determine how resources are allocated in this budget. 1. Maintain Collection System Permit. (Goal #1) 2. Maintain Discharge Permit to French Broad River for Water Reclamation Facility. (Goal #1) 3. Maintain a qualified and motivated workforce. (Goals #1‐4) 4. Coordinate, to the extent practicable, with other governmental and private entities for cooperative provision of sewer service to gain optimum economies of scale, reduced capital cost, and improved efficiency. (Goals # 1‐4) 5. Participate in two‐way communications with customers, elected officials, and other stakeholders in matters of mutual concern such as regulations, policies, and fees. (Goals # 1‐4) 6. Provision of information and education concerning stewardship of water resources. (Goals # 1‐4) Authority for the District’s first goal of protection of health, safety, and the environment is received from the Collection System and Discharge Permits issued by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality. Therefore, the major emphasis of District activities is to fulfill or comply with the terms of these permits. In addition to specifying certain measures of water quality and minimum standards for maintenance of lines, the permits expect steady progress towards rehabilitation of aged lines and planned replacement of plant assets. The remaining four objectives are strategies designed to complement the efforts to fulfill the requirements of the permits in achieving the District’s goals. Obviously, a competent, well‐trained, and committed workforce will not only be technically accomplished, but will also provide excellent customer service, and will explore ways to do the job better and at less cost. Similarly, leveraging resources with others can improve service delivery and reduce costs. Finally, communication with and education of stakeholders is designed result in wide‐ranging improvements to service delivery, customer relations, and cost containment. Using key objectives identified as critical to the District’s mission, Departments develop their individual initiatives and objectives, and the performance measures by which to assess progress. As the budgets for each division or department are presented in the next section, each departmental goal will reference the number of the overall MSD goal, objective or the fiscal policy supported. In this way, each department establishes its accountability and demonstrates the linkage between activities and the achievement of District objectives. The Systems Services Division bears responsibility for maintaining the Collection System Permit (Objective #1) and the Water Reclamation Facility for maintaining the Discharge Permit (Objective #2). Details of the requirements of these permits and related performance measurements may be found in these respective departmental budgets behind the “Operation & Maintenance Fund” tab. The other objectives have no legal or regulatory basis, but are underlying principles of how the Board intends the District to carry out the primary mission, and are referenced as appropriate in the departmental goals and objectives.

2012‐2013 BUDGET DOCUMENT
Rate Projections & Budgetary Forecast The District is required by its Bond Order to set rates at such a level that the excess of revenues over current expenditures equals at least 120% of debt service. The Board established a revenue policy that the goal for debt coverage ratio be 150% or 1.5, and sufficient to meet all operating and capital needs with modest level increases. The Board has also established a budget policy that calls for a ten‐year projected operating budget and capital improvement program for long‐term planning purposes. Revenue and expenditure projections are integrated with anticipated capital expenditures to anticipate rate increases and timing of debt issuance based on cash flow levels and debt coverage ratios. Consumer revenue projections are based on consumption rates, growth in number of taps during the previous year, and projected rate increase. Industrial revenue is developed from anticipated fees of actual individual companies, since there are relatively few industrial customers and the charges are determined by effluent strength, as well as volume, which may vary greatly depending on the particular entity. As there are a limited number of large customers, any major change to a particular facility such as announced layoffs or closings, may be immediately factored into the industrial revenue computation. Operating expenditures are anticipated to increase at the regional cost of living rate, and capital expenditures at the general inflation rate. Future debt service is projected to be issued at slightly above prevailing rates. As this forecast is updated at least semiannually, management is able to adjust timing of capital projects and discuss in advance with Board members proposed timing and levels of rate increases. Using consumption data projected from the recent historical population growth statistics within the Asheville‐Buncombe County area, the District anticipates annual rate increases of 2.5% for the next ten years. Construction costs are fairly level reflecting the District’s Master Plan to consistently rehabilitate approximately 50,000 linear feet of pipe per year. The CIP expenditure forecast for FY13 reflects a continuation of a major rehabilitation project at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. This long‐range budgetary projection also shows how the District plans to finance these projects with a combination of bond proceeds and pay‐as‐you‐go funding from sewer revenues. Overall, the ten‐year projection indicates the District’s continuing ability to provide wastewater collection and treatment for customers, infrastructure maintenance in accordance with state regulations, and debt service in compliance with Bond Order, all with minimal, uniform rate increases.

Budget Process Budgetary Adoption The District budget process must comply with North Carolina General Statutes and the MSD Revenue Bond Order as amended to date. The Bond Order requires that the District adopt its final budget on or before June 15 of each year. North Carolina General Statutes mandate an annual balanced budget ordinance based upon expected revenues, along with a budget message, to be presented to the governing board no later than June 1 and mandates a public hearing be held. The Bond Order calls for a preliminary budget hearing 30 days prior to adoption if requested by a certain percentage of bondholders. The budget calendar is designed to provide for input by all stakeholders into a systematic and deliberate process. For the Operations and Maintenance Budget, the process begins with the mission statement as approved by the Board. Each Division or section of the District develops a specific mission statement setting forth its role in supporting the overall mission of the District. Next, key responsibilities are defined for each unit, with associated goals and objectives. To evaluate progress, performance measures are identified and tracked for the previous three years. Once the District staff develops the operational activities required to implement the mission‐directed strategies, necessary resources can be quantified and presented in a budgetary format. Because payroll and benefits represent such a large proportion of expenditures, and because an experienced and appropriately compensated, well‐trained staff is necessary to accomplish the District’s mission, extra effort is made to ensure salaries and benefits are competitive without being excessive. To this end, a human resources consultant prepares a salary survey every three to five years that compares District pay scales with other utilities and governmental entities in the area. During those years a consultant is not retained, the Human Resources Director and other staff take surveys among regional governments and wastewater utilities of intended increases and types/levels of benefits considered. After reviewing comparative data, the Finance and Personnel Committees take an active role in ratifying increases of cost of living and merit pay, as well as contributions to health insurance and other employee benefit programs. Before approval of any new positions, the Board must be convinced of the cost‐benefit, efficiency, and programmatic benefit. The Capital Budget incorporates short‐term improvements mandated by the State‐issued Collection System Permit with long‐term needs identified and prioritized by the 20‐year Wastewater System Master Plan to handle wet‐weather flow conditions, to improve the performance at the wastewater treatment plant, and to prepare the system to handle expected future wastewater flows. Engineering staff prepare annual estimates of expenditures over the life of projects in a proposed timetable for construction in a 10‐year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Meanwhile, Administrative staff prepares an update of the District’s ten‐year financial forecast based on estimated revenues, expenditures, and debt issuance, which is integrated with the 10‐year CIP, along with projections for Fleet and Wastewater Treatment Plant Replacement Funds. The effect of current expenditures on cash flows and debt coverage ratios are verified for adequacy, and any indicated adjustments to expenditures are made to sustain services within the desired user rate levels, which are set annually in connection with budget adoption.

2012‐2013 BUDGET DOCUMENT
Budget Process (continued) Budget Administration The Budget Resolution is adopted at the fund level and allows for the carry forward of encumbered contracts and purchase orders from the previous fiscal year. This budget book illustrates the initial allocations among departments and between line items for authorized expenditures not including carryover amounts. Authority for modifying these allocations varies. The General Manager has the authority to transfer amounts between departments within a fund without limitation. Division directors may transfer amounts between line items and sections within their departments without limitation. The entire allocation is available at the beginning of the year, and the unexpended balance will remain available during the year, unless otherwise limited by the General Manager and Director of Finance due to cash flow considerations. Several strategies are used to monitor expenditures throughout the year. The General Manager and Division Directors receive monthly expenditure reports, which compare actual to budgeted amounts for the period and for the year to date. In addition, the procurement software is designed to require approval from the General Manager or Director of Finance if the line item has insufficient funds to cover the requisition or if the expenditure is over a certain amount. Purchasing staff make periodic reviews of outstanding inventory levels, requisitions, and purchase orders to update available line item balances.

2012‐2013 BUDGET DOCUMENT
Budgetary Basis of Accounting The District accounts for its activities as an Enterprise Fund, which is similar to that of a private business where the costs of providing wastewater collection and treatment on a continuing basis are recovered primarily from user charges. Therefore, the accrual basis of accounting is used for financial reporting purposes, where revenues are recognized as soon as they are earned and expenses at the time the liability is incurred. However, state law requires local governments to budget on the modified accrual basis, wherein revenues are only recognized to the degree that they are available to finance expenditures of the current period. Similarly, debt service payments and other liabilities are recognized when payment is due because it is only at that time that they normally are liquidated with expendable available financial resources. There are no significant differences between the full and modified accrual basis of budgeting for District revenues, because the majority of revenues are collected shortly after billing, and as such, are available to pay period liabilities. The major difference resulting from the modified accrual method is noted in budgeting debt service and capital expenditures. The Bond Order requires the District to have remitted all debt service to the Trustee at least one business day prior to the payment date, so that in the event of default, the Trustee will have time to secure payment for the bondholders from the Debt Service Reserve Fund for payment on the due date. Therefore, the District budgets for the amount of principal due on July 1 of the subsequent fiscal year, but reports the principal reduction paid on July 1 of the current year as reducing loans payable in the audited financial statements. Capital outlays, which are defined as equipment or construction with an acquisition value over $1,000 and a useful life of three years or longer, are budgeted as an expense in the year incurred, but depreciation is not budgeted, as it does not involve expenditure of cash. In the audited financial statements, buildings and equipment over $15,000 are capitalized and depreciated over future years. The District does not budget for barter transactions such as the exchange of building space for laboratory services, but the fair market value of such transactions are reflected as income and expense in the audited financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The ten‐year Capital Improvement Plan presented in this budget manual documents the District’s long‐term asset management strategy to achieve and maintain compliance with state environmental permit conditions, but does not authorize expenditures for any years beyond the current budget year. The Capital Improvement Plan identifies specific projects with anticipated expenditures broken down by each year, but based on the best estimates of the District. The General Manager is authorized to accelerate or postpone the start date of any particular project and to authorize the encumbrance of funds for projects continuing into a future fiscal year, provided that the total amount of funds expended and encumbered for any one year does not exceed the total appropriation in the Construction Fund for that fiscal year. However, any projects included in a Capital Projects Ordinance may have expenditures authorized for the entire project crossing fiscal years, regardless of when contracts are signed or costs are incurred or paid. In accordance with the District’s Bond Order, separate accounts for debt service and extraordinary maintenance reserves have been established. The District utilizes other reserve accounts to minimize or moderate the effect of unanticipated large expenditures and substantial equipment replacement on rate increases. www.msdbc.org

2012‐2013 BUDGET DOCUMENT
Fund Structure For financial statement purposes, all the District’s transactions are reported in one enterprise fund. However, to be in compliance with the District’s Bond Order, which prescribes certain procedures for financial planning and budgetary process, the enterprise fund is divided into several funds. Appropriated major funds whose expenditures exceed 10% of the budget include: the revenue fund from which operational and maintenance expenditures are made, the general fund that transfers pay‐as‐you‐go funding authorized for construction, the construction fund that incorporates CIP expenditures, the insurance funds that provides funding for self‐funded employee medical, general liability, worker’s compensation and post‐ employment, the replacement funds that provides funding for Fleet and WRF equipment and the debt service funds. Financial plans are prepared for other nonappropriated funds whose expenditures are determined by external parties and contractual agreements, namely the insurance funds, debt reserve, and the capital reserve fund. Revenue Fund: The Bond Order requires all revenues from user charges to be deposited to a revenue fund. The first order of payments is current expenses, defined as the costs of controlling, operating, managing, and maintaining the sewerage system and wastewater treatment plant, which are paid directly from the revenue fund. Remaining revenues may be transferred as budgeted to other funds for use in debt service, construction, or any other lawful purpose. General Fund: The District may use funds from the General Fund for any lawful purpose. Due to the provisions of the 1985 and 1999 Bond Orders, the former which provided that operating expenses were to be paid from the O&M fund, and the latter which calls for current expenditures to be paid from the Revenue Fund, the General Fund has been used primarily to accumulate pay‐as‐you‐go financing for construction. Construction Fund: This fund was established in accordance with the bond order to account for construction projects funded by sewer revenue bonds. The fund is currently used to record expenditures of capital construction, regardless of funding source. Insurance Funds: Financial plans for the four insurance funds – Self‐Funded Employee Medical, General Liability, Worker’s Compensation, and Post Employment are included in the FY13 budget document. Each Department, Division, and Section budget is charged a proportionate share of employer insurance costs based upon the number of covered employees. Separate funds are maintained to track the excess or deficit of actual expenses over estimated cost. To ameliorate the effect of large unanticipated losses on the annual rate setting process, any excess of cost assessed over claims paid is retained by the fund as designated for any deficit in future years. There are no trust documents or other legal restrictions on these funds, and they are combined with other funds and accounts into one enterprise fund for financial reporting purposes. A brief discussion of each is on the following page.
www.msdbc.org
Policies & Budget Process | Page 22
METROPOLITAN SEWERAGE DISTRICT OF BUNCOMBE COUNTY, NC
2012‐2013 BUDGET DOCUMENT
Fund Structure (continued) Self‐Funded Employee Medical: Revenues consist of both employee and employer contributions. Expenditures include charges for stop‐loss and aggregate premiums, third party administration of claims, as well as medical, dental, and prescription claims. Employer contributions are currently based on actuarially determined expected funding, which is approximately 80% of potential maximum cost if stop‐loss and aggregate limits are reached. Prudent management of reserves should provide adequate funding for claims in excess of those anticipated, as well as for claims incurred during the year but paid after the year‐end outside of the aggregate coverage. General Liability: The District purchases commercial coverage for Automobile, General Liability, Public Officials Liability, and Employee Blanket Bond. Each year, the Engineer of Record reviews the adequacies of the Districts’ insurance coverage to comply with the District's Bond Order. Reimbursement for each loss is reduced by the amount of the particular coverage deductible, so the budgeted expenditure includes both contractual premiums and an estimate of the potential liability to be incurred from paying the deductible amount on each claim. Any excess of amounts transferred from the Operations and Maintenance Fund over premiums and deductibles expense is retained in the fund to be appropriated in a future year with unanticipated losses. Worker’s Compensation: The District purchases commercial insurance coverage for Worker’s Compensation. This policy also includes provisions for deductible amounts for each claim; so similarly, budgeted insurance expense includes both contractual premium and an estimate of deductible amounts. Any excess is retained in the fund to be appropriated in a future year in the event of unanticipated losses. Post‐Employment: The District has established a post‐employment insurance fund to accumulate funds now, which will reduce future operational expenditures when retirees begin taking advantage of this benefit. The District will annually fund the equivalent of the annual required contribution less expenses as determined by an actuarial study as required by GASB45. Equipment Replacement Funds: Two equipment replacement funds are included with the budget. Responsible departments are assessed proportional amounts to provide planned funding for the systematic replacement of assets and to moderate the impact in any one year on sewer rates from major capital acquisitions. Any excess of revenues over expenditures are retained in fund equity to provide for large future capital expenditures, and for replacement or repair of any mission‐critical equipment resulting from an accident, natural disaster, or other unforeseeable event. Fleet Replacement: The District owns a variety of vehicles including pickup trucks, specialized vans, dump trucks, tankers, and excavating equipment, some costing up to $250,000. The Fleet Supervisor and Administrative Services Director are responsible for maintaining an inventory of all equipment including anticipated replacement dates and costs for all items. Departments are assessed determined amounts in the annual budget, which are estimated to provide funding for new vehicles when those in their use may no longer be efficiently maintained.

2012‐2013 BUDGET DOCUMENT
Fund Structure (continued) Wastewater Treatment Plant: Various large pumps and specialized machinery require replacement from time to time, usually at costs well in excess of what may be budgeted as routine maintenance. The Plant Director and Supervisors have prepared a schedule by year of anticipated major projects needed to refurbish or replace obsolete equipment. The plant maintenance department is assessed amounts in the annual operations budget estimated to provide adequate funding for these projects when needed in the future. Debt Service Funds: These funds are required under the District’s Bond Order to accumulate and transmit all District debt service payments. Revenue Bond Fund: This fund is used to accumulate periodic deposits from the revenue fund to pay principal and interest as scheduled. Debt Service Reserve Fund: This account is maintained by the Bond Trustee at an annually computed funding level as specified under the bond order. The purpose of this fund is to provide investors with immediate principal and interest payments in the event of default or other failure of the District to provide the trustee with adequate amounts via the Revenue Bond Fund. Capital Reserve Fund: While technically not a debt service fund, this fund is mandated by the Bond Order to contain six percent (6%) or such greater percentage, as may be determined from time to time by the Board, of the amount shown by the annual budget to be necessary for current expenses for the current fiscal year. As this fund is to be kept for unusual and unforeseen expenditures, none are included in the financial plan as coming from this account.

Funding comes primarily from the Revenue Fund, from which Operations and Maintenance expenditures are paid. Revenues are transferred to other funds, including construction, insurance internal funds, debt service and replacement reserve funds. Infrastructure over $15,000 is capitalized and budgeted through the Construction Fund. Capitalized equipment such as trucks and rolling stock are budgeted through the Fleet Replacement Fund and capitalized equipment such as pumps and plant machinery are budgeted through the Water Reclamation Facility Replacement Fund. While the O&M budget contains line items entitled “Capital Equipment”, while such expenditures are below the capitalization threshold, they are in excess of $1,000 and budgeted and tracked internally for managerial purposes.

Revenue (continued) Industrial User Charges Prior to FY 2001, industrial users were charged decreasing tiered rates based on total volume so that actual rates charged were considerably below those paid by residential consumers. In FY 2001, the Board approved a plan to achieve rate parity between industrial and residential customers over the upcoming twenty years. The annual increases from this parity plan are incorporated in adopted rates. Industrial revenue has been declining over several years as local industrial facilities contracted operations or closed. The FY13 estimated industrial revenue is expected to increase marginally compared to FY12. Fortunately, the number of new residential customers continues to increase which is anticipated to mitigate the impact from the decline of industrial revenue.
Investment Interest This revenue source reflects interest earned on public funds held by the District and the Revenue Bond Trustee. Investment income is determined by interest rates and cash balances available for investment. Interest rates decreased rapidly during the current year due to adverse economic conditions. The projected yield for the current fiscal year will be 1.0%. All MSD investments conform to its Bond Order and the North Carolina General Statutes governing investments, and due to the minimum acceptable level of risk, produce fairly conservative rates of return.
Facility Fees This revenue source represents the buying of equity in completed wastewater facilities paid by consumers who are added to the sewer collection system. In June 2006, the actual cost was determined to be significantly greater than the fee charged. To moderate the impact on customers, the board determined to implement 20% of this increase over each of the subsequent five years. In FY10, the District instituted a one‐year moratorium on the five‐year sewer facility fee parity plan due to the recession. As of the end of FY12, the District has completed the aforementioned plan. Effective in FY13, sewer facility fees range from $670 to $2,500 for residential users based on size of structure, and from $2,500 to $237,500 for nonresidential customers based on meter size.
Tap Fees This revenue source represents the cost of physically installing new connections to the sewer system. Tap charges were last changed in June of 2012. The cost for installing a tap is $650, with additional charges up to $2,200 if pavement disturbance involved.

City of Asheville (Enka Bonds Annexation) In the Consolidation Agreements, MSD agreed to assume debt service on the $1,500,000 sanitary sewer bond issued by the Enka‐Candler Water and Sewer District. This debt was used to pay a part of constructing the sewer system in Enka‐Candler, which at that time was located in an unincorporated area of western Buncombe County. After the consolidation, the City of Asheville annexed a portion of the Enka‐Candler Sewer District, so the City of Asheville reimburses the District for its proportionate amount (41%) of the annual principal and interest payment.

The major factors that impact our operating and maintenance budget include: 1. Repairs and Maintenance: A majority of the District’s 977 miles of collection lines are between thirty and one hundred years old. While many capital projects are planned and in process, these aging facilities often require frequent repairs and maintenance costs prior to commencement of a major rehabilitation funded in the CIP. The Asset Management Plan calls for periodic maintenance and repairs. The District has budgeted significant amounts for maintenance of equipment, buildings, and grounds as well as for in‐house sewer line repair and maintenance.

Fleet Maintenance Mission Statement The mission of the Fleet Maintenance Department is to oversee the maintenance of all District rolling stock in a timely and cost efficient manner.
Key Responsibilities Provide fleet maintenance and management; coordinate Fleet Replacement; write specifications for new and replacement vehicles and equipment; manage fueling facilities; inspections at District owned facilities; maintain fleet inventory; service vehicles on a regular basis.
Accomplishments for FY 2011-2012 1. The Biodiesel program began in July 2003. By end of June 2012, MSD purchased more than 650,000 gallons of B20 replacing more than 130,000 gallons of fossil fuel with oil made from soybeans. This renewable energy also serves to lower air pollution emissions by a corresponding twenty percent. 2. The use of E10 (10 percent ethanol) for all gasoline powered vehicles acts to fulfill MSD’s commitment to alternative “green” energy choices. FY12 purchases will exceed 15,000 gallons. 3. Maintained an 85% work order completion rate for direct labor on vehicles versus shop time (85% target).
Budget Highlights/Changes for FY 2012-2013 1. Capital purchases adhere to phased replacement of vehicles to maximize efficiency, effectiveness and even out budgetary demands over the next five years. 2. Replacement of four diesel powered vehicles in FY13 with new "Clean Diesel" technology. This technology so advances the removal of tailpipe emissions that a recent trade journal stated the exhaust could be cleaner than the ambient air in our most smoggy cities.
Goals & Objectives
Goal: For the MSD fleet to have minimal environmental impact to the service area (MSD Goal #1) Objective: Monitor all vehicles use of biodiesel (B20) and ethanol (E10) for any fuel related problems or repairs. Goal: Provide high level of quality of service and proficiency Objective: Continuous improvement and training on software upgrades, diesel engine maintenance, and repairs. Goal: Maintain and replace only vehicles and equipment required for efficient and effective operation Objective: With System Services, continue to evaluate heavy‐duty vehicles essential for sewer line preventative maintenance.

METROPOLITAN SEWERAGE DISTRICT OF BUNCOMBE COUNTY, NC
2012‐2013 BUDGET DOCUMENT
Insurance Funds Overview The insurance funds are funded through annual appropriations from the Operations and Maintenance Fund Budget. The District has established four (4) insurance funds as part of its sewer rate stabilization strategy. Background information and current year budget highlights of the insurance funds are discussed below and on the following pages.
Self‐funded Employee Medical Program The District offers medical, dental, and life insurance to all employees. Employees may purchase optional dependent coverage through payroll deduction. These benefits are funded by a combination of District contributions as well as commercial insurance premiums. The District has established a self‐insured group health and dental insurance program, with premiums paid to commercial carriers for stop‐loss and aggregate coverage to limit the amount of risk the District will assume. A third party administrator processes all claims, and a commercial healthcare provider network is retained to negotiate fees and authorize payments. Prescription benefits are administered through a private contractor. Employees pay a nominal amount for individual medical and dental coverage and pay approximately 30% to 36% of the cost for dependent coverage. After employee payment of specified deductibles and co‐payments for medical and dental services, the Plan covers the remaining authorized charges in total. The budget for FY13 includes employer contributions increase of 1.0% to cover anticipated expenditure needs.
Post‐Employment Insurance The District has established a post‐employment insurance fund to accumulate funds now, which will reduce future operational expenditures when retirees begin taking advantage of this benefit. The District will annually fund the equivalent of the annual required contribution less expenses as determined by an actuarial study as required by GASB 45. The accumulated funds will only be used for post‐employment insurance. However, the District’s Board does reserve the right to use the reserve funds for unforeseen emergencies. FY13 funding of $222,900 represents 1.5% of total operations. As of May 2012, the District has four (4) eligible participants in it post‐employment insurance plan.
Worker's Compensation The District established a separate insurance fund for worker’s compensation, which will facilitate allocation of costs to respective department, division, and section budgets. The Safety Officer acts as liaison with the insurance carrier to administer claims and to minimize future claims by providing training and equipment designed to prevent injuries. The budget for FY13 does include an increase in employer contributions to cover anticipated future expenditure needs.

Replacement Funds
METROPOLITAN SEWERAGE DISTRICT OF BUNCOMBE COUNTY, NC
2012‐2013 BUDGET DOCUMENT
Replacement Funds Overview The replacement funds are funded through annual appropriations from the Operations and Maintenance Fund Budget. The District has established two replacement funds as part of its sewer rate stabilization strategy, with third reserve fund required under the Bond Order. Background information and current year budget highlights of the replacement funds are discussed below and on the following pages. Fleet Equipment Replacement The District has projected replacement dates and estimated prices for all vehicles and construction‐type equipment over $10,000. This information has been used to develop a funding plan whereby relatively constant amounts are to be transferred in from the annual Operations and Maintenance budget, with annual expenditures to be made in varying amounts to secure new vehicles and equipment as indicated in the plan’s timetable. The projected balance in the fund at the end of FY12 is anticipated to approximate $397,518. The FY13 contribution is $400,000, with anticipated expenditures of $454,000, including a ¾ Ton Utility Bed Truck, ¾ Ton Pickup, ½ Ton Pickup, Small Cargo Van, Tandem Axle Dump Truck, Trench Roller, Mid‐size Excavator, and Hose Burst Protection. Wastewater Treatment Plant Replacement The replacement fund for the wastewater treatment plant and pump stations was set up to develop a reserve to address general equipment replacement cost at these facilities. A similar strategy of periodic, uniform contributions from the Operations and Maintenance Fund and withdrawals for planned equipment rehabilitation or replacement are employed. The FY13 contribution is $100,000 with anticipated expenditures of $200,000 including RBC Bearing Replacements, Emergency Generator Replacement @ Clayton Rd PS, Hydraulic System Overhaul @ Carrier Bridge PS, Grinder Replacement @ Pearson Bridge Siphon Station Grinder, Grinder Replacement @ Square D Siphon Station, Grinder Replacement @ TC Building, Grit System Classifier Rehabilitation (auger/trough/liner), and Breaker Testing/Replacement ‐ Fast Fuses Replacements. Capital Reserve Fund This fund is mandated by the Bond Order to contain six percent (6%) or such greater percentage, as may be determined from time to time by the Board, of the amount shown by the Annual Budget to be necessary for current expenses for the current Fiscal Year. As this fund is to be tapped only for unusual and unforeseen expenditures, none are budgeted. There will be no contributions to this fund this year as the balance is in excess of that required.

CIP Program
METROPOLITAN SEWERAGE DISTRICT OF BUNCOMBE COUNTY, NC
2012‐2013 BUDGET DOCUMENT
Capital Improvement Program Overview The District’s Capital Improvement Program commands the largest portion of budgeted expenditures, and as such, is planned strategically and in great detail for all infrastructure projects in excess of the $15,000 infrastructure capitalization threshold. The District updates its ten‐year capital improvement program (CIP) annually to comply with state regulatory and bond order requirements. Objectives of constructing these capital projects include replacing and rehabbing structurally defective sewer lines, handling wet‐weather flow conditions, improving the performance at the wastewater treatment plant, and preparing the system to handle expected future wastewater flows over the upcoming decade. The process begins with engineering staff developing projects, which often originate from problem areas identified by field crews during emergency and preventative maintenance procedures, and includes consideration of those projects outlined in the 20‐year Wastewater System Master Plan. MSD is mandated through its Collection System Permit to rehabilitate a minimum of 250,000 linear feet of collection system lines over a five‐year period. Engineers evaluate and prioritize each proposed project based upon the District’s short‐term requirements and long‐term mission. Engineering staff then prepare cost estimates for identified projects and a proposed timetable for construction. Once the CIP is drafted, the CIP committee, consisting of representatives from the member agencies, meets to review the costs, locations, and necessity of proposed projects and when satisfied, recommends that the Board adopt the plan. A copy of the CIP summary sheets follows in the succeeding pages of this budget document. A separate document compiling individual pages for each project with detailed costs and location map as presented to the CIP Committee may be obtained upon request to W. Scott Powell, Director of Finance at (828)225‐8211 or spowell@msdbc.org. In accordance with the State Collection System Permit, the District maintains a Ten Year CIP and rehabilitates a minimum of 250,000 Linear Feet (LF) of the collection system every five years. The current permit cycle has been temporarily extended three years by SB831, An Act to Extend Certain Government Approvals. This will have the effect of requiring 400,000 LF of rehabilitation over eight years. Planned rehabilitation footage for FY08 through FY15 (the eight‐year permit period) currently targets 402,956 LF. Significant plant projects include replacement of the Final Microscreens, and rehabilitation of the plants' aged power supply system. These two projects total $13.0 million. The ten‐year CIP prioritizes projects identified by the Board as fulfilling the District’s mission but does not obligate District resources for their construction past the end of the current budget year. The District has a capital projects ordinance, which is periodically updated as necessary, to make available funds for all projects scheduled for construction in the upcoming budget year and certain other projects to be begun in the current year but completed in a subsequent year.
Current Year Highlights Approximately 100 infrastructure projects are included in the CIP for FY 13, ranging in length from 273 feet to over 13,000 feet. In‐house forces as well as outside contractors will be used to rehabilitate the regulated amounts as prescribed by the District’s Collection System Permit. The CIP has adapted to the recent loss of industrial revenue by rebalancing the proportion of relining and dig‐and‐replace projects to maintain the required footage within tighter cost constraints. www.msdbc.org

Capital Improvement Program (continued) Collection System. Significant collection system projects scheduled for the upcoming year include: PRP Lining Contract #7, a 10,000 linear foot $902,000 endeavor; a 3,625 linear foot general sewer rehabilitation of Short Coxe at Southside at a cost of $1,180,000; a 3,702 linear foot general sewer rehabilitation at Givens Estates at a cost of $818,600, and a 2,527 linear foot general sewer rehabilitation Merrimon Avenue at Stratford at a cost of $637,100. Water Reclamation Facility. During FY 07, the Water Reclamation Facilities Plan was completed which is a highly detailed assessment of the condition, performance, and future needs of the various unit processes and equipment within the WRF. CIP staff has incorporated major recommendations into four critical long‐ range replacement and rehabilitation project. Intermediate Pumps—These aging pumps are hydraulically driven which is highly inefficient, and there is concern of contamination the effluent with hydraulic fluid should the system leak. Funds of approximately $2.5 million for installing new variable‐speed electric pumps. The project was completed in FY11. Secondary Microscreens—Rusty and no longer performing satisfactorily, this equipment has become an operational and maintenance headache. Being the critical barrier between the WRF and the river, the secondary microscreens have been scheduled for replacement. Design is complete with construction beginning in FY11 with completion expected in FY13. Total cost of the project is estimated to be $10.4 million. Rotating Biological Contactors (RBC)—These large rotating wheels house biomass growth, which dip into the wastewater and allow waste to be biologically consumed as it flows through the basins. These RBCs can weigh up to 45,000 pounds and after turning constantly for 20 years propelled by compressed air, some are suffering mechanical failure and broken shafts. Access is problematic and replacement units use an electric motor, rather than the current compressed air configuration. Currently, this process is operating adequately, and funds for further study into replacement of or alternatives to this process have been included in future years of the CIP.
Background The Capital Improvement Program is essential to the efficient functioning of the District, as evidenced by the requirement from both the bond order and state collection system permit. A well‐planned CIP provides customers with the assurance of having reliable and affordable wastewater collection and treatment both now and in the future. Throughout the history of the District, staff has continued to seek increasingly effective ways of identifying and prioritizing individual projects, to ensure a more comprehensive and balanced CIP. In 1990, as part of the political process of forming the District, certain construction and rehabilitation projects were identified by the various member municipalities and sanitary districts. Once these designated projects were completed, the District then focused on rehabilitating aging, undersized collection lines to minimize unregulated discharges of raw sewage (sanitary sewer overflows or SSOs) and inflow/infiltration (I/I). Inflow and infiltration are the intrusion of groundwater and storm water runoff into the collection system, which can deplete capacity in sewer mains and at wastewater treatment www.msdbc.org

As part of this comprehensive evaluative process, the District developed and implemented a program to monitor wastewater flows from the various parts of the sewerage system. The flow monitoring data was used to develop a computer hydraulic model of the flows of the sewerage system to help identify and remediate the worst areas of inflow and infiltration. In 1999, MSD began an aggressive line cleaning and television inspection program wherein the District contracted with outside companies to clean the pipes with water under high pressure and then to send a video camera (also known as closed circuit television or CCTV camera) through the line. The videotapes have enabled the District to more accurately determine the condition of the lines and to prioritize necessary repairs. Each year 10% of the pipes will be cleaned and then inspected by CCTV cameras to maintain the efficient operation of the collection system. The District developed a proactive cost‐effective rehabilitation strategy with the development of the Pipe Rating Program. Pipe rating is a proactive planning tool, which utilizes Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) information, GIS database, and actual maintenance history to view, rate, and computer‐score pipe segments based on a number of factors. These factors, manhole‐to‐manhole, include work order history, number and severity of defects, and record overflows on that segment, which are combined to yield a numerical rating used to prioritize efforts. Pipe Rating minimizes costs by helping the District focus rehabilitation dollars where they are needed most, rather than the usual full‐scale replacement of entire collector lines. In recognition of this innovative program, the Association of Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies (AMSA) awarded the District one of only two 2003 National Environmental Achievement Awards.
Wastewater System Master Plan Realizing the need for a comprehensive long‐term plan, which would address both emerging environmental regulations and land use considerations, the District contracted with a professional engineering firm to develop a detailed action plan for infrastructure growth and maintenance, while keeping user rates at an affordable level. The Wastewater System Master Plan was completed in 2001, citing the single most compelling system need for MSD was to control SSOs. The Plan focused on the Collection System. The Master Plan recommended a three‐prong approach to achieve this goal. The first prong consists of an effective management, operation, and maintenance (MOM) program to reduce line blockages and optimize spill responses when they occur. The second prong consists of an on‐going rehabilitation program to improve the structural condition of the system and to reduce infiltration/inflow. The third prong requires implementation of an effective means of providing increased system conveyance and treatment capacity to handle wastewater flows from existing high infiltration/inflow and from future projected dry‐weather flows. In 2008, McGill Associates completed a Collection System Master Plan (the “2008 Collection System Plan”). The 2008 Collection System Plan focuses on the District’s comprehensive growth issues by incorporating all of the recent planning and zoning changes from the District’s member agencies. This plan also describes where and how areas will be served and provides for orderly growth of the sewer system to meet the needs of the region as a whole for the future. The 2001 Master Plan, the 2007 Facilities Plan and the 2008 Collection System plan are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Master Plans”. www.msdbc.org

Nitrogen Removal MSD's NPDES effluent discharge permit, issued Feb. 25, 2011 includes a special condition "Ammonia Reduction Evaluation" requiring a feasibility study be submitted within 4.5 years of permit issue date to evaluate possible ammonia removal strategies via plant improvements. Plant Security Upgrades This project is for the installation of secure card‐reader locks at critical locations within the treatment plant . Authorized personnel will continue to have easy access, yet all access will be controllable, recorded, and secure. RBC Replacement This project is located at the WRF. The Rotating Biological Contactors (RBC’s) are a system which uses rotating discs to biologically treat the wastewater. The units are heavy, and over time the rotating shaft may fail due to fatigue. This line item provides a placeholder for future replacement of failed RBC’s. This project was generated through the District’s WRF Facilities Plan. Slide Gate Repair This project is located at the WRF. The slide gates at the head of the Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) basin are reaching the end of their life and need to be replaced. This project was generated through the District’s WRF Facilities Plan. Weaverville Force Main Ph. 3 (SS) This project includes the replacement of approximately 680 LF of ductile iron pipe on Wiley Drive off of Old Marshall Hwy. The section of pipe was noted for corrosion potential in the Weaverville Pumping System Study. The new line will be constructed of HDPE pipe. Weaverville Pump System Rehab. This project extends from the MSD WRF north to the Weaverville Pump Station No. 1. It is comprised of replacing approximately 10,579 LF of 12" DIP force main with new 18" force main piping as reccomended in the Weaverville Pump Station Study. New Communications Equipment This line item is for the replacement of the District's telephone system and the Boardroom recording equipment. The equipment is old and has had problems in recent years. The phone system has not been supported since 2000, and replacement parts can only be obtained from second‐hand sources. The Boardroom recording system uses a cassette tape system and is obsolete.

CONTINGENCY The District utilizes a flat contingency of $1,000,000 per fiscal year. In years past, this amount was ten percent of the total budget, which unnecessarily inflated the budget because actual project costs typically track estimated costs closely. Using this amount provides adequate cushion for unexpected projects, events, or emergencies – yet it does not overly raise the approved budget for each fiscal year.

Impacct of CIIP on Operati O ons One of the purposes off a budget document d is to describe the impact o of significantt non‐routinee capital expenditure es on a gove ernment’s current and fu uture operati ng budgets. For most m municipal and d county governmentts, non‐routin ne capital im mprovements consist of eexpansion off facilities, w which often rresult in higher operating costs. For F example, larger buildiings increasee utility expen nses, and new w structures such as libraries or swimming pools p involve e hiring addittional staff. In addition, for most m municipal and county governmentts, non‐routin ne capital imp provements aare, for the m most part, baseed upon the decisions of tthe local governing au uthority. The Districtt’s CIP is diffferent in two o respects. First, F almost all non‐routtine capital eexpenditures involve rehabilitatio on of already existing sewe er pipe infrasstructure, andd secondly, th he District’s ccapital improvvements to infrastructure are mandated by the state en nvironmentall regulatory department,, imposing limits on discretionarry action and cost. Through maajor capital im mprovements to the sewerr collection syystem, the District expectss to realize long‐term cost reductiion in wastew water treatm ment operatio ons. The folloowing summ mary illustratees the impact of the Capital Imprrovement Pro ogram on the District’s current and futuure operation nal budgets.

Debt Financing
METROPOLITAN SEWERAGE DISTRICT OF BUNCOMBE COUNTY, NC
2012‐2013 BUDGET DOCUMENT
Debt Financing Debt Management Prior to the 1990s, the District’s policy was to fund capital improvements from user fees. Having inherited aging collector lines, some in excess of 100 years old, this policy forced the District to increase rates dramatically yet never provided enough funding to keep up with the magnitude of desperately needed repairs. Coming to realize the benefit of integrating capital‐planning and debt‐financing activities, the District Board developed a long‐range plan to utilize bonds and pay‐as‐you‐go in a coordinated capital improvement plan. This combined strategy allows for more equity between long‐term and new ratepayers while providing the necessary funding for an adequately functioning system. Issuing debt provides the capital to rehabilitate crumbling infrastructure while allowing present and future ratepayers who will enjoy the benefit to share the cost through annual principal and interest payments. This contrasts with a strategy that uses only pay‐ as‐you‐go whereby a resident will pay higher rates for many years to accumulate the funds needed for rehabilitation before enjoying any benefit, yet new users joining after completion of a project will have immediate use of the new facilities without sharing in any of the cost. Another advantage of combining borrowed funds with current funding is the ability to structure debt repayment schedules to avoid dramatic rate increases otherwise needed to provide adequate amounts for multi‐million dollar projects. The District’s bonds are rated by national rating agencies as follows: Moody's Investors Service Standard & Poor's Fitch Ratings Aa2 AA AA+ In May 2010, the District received two rating upgrades. Moody’s Investors Service raised the District credit rating from Aa3 to Aa2. Additionally, Fitch Ratings raised the District credit rating from AA to AA+. Both upgrades were a direct result of the agencies recalibrating their respective global rating scale. These high ratings enable the District to pay a lower rate of interest than many other utilities, which has a positive effect on the current and future budgets. Unlike North Carolina’s cities and counties, MSD does not have a debt limit. However, provisions in the District’s Bond Order require minimum debt coverage of 120% of net revenues to bonded debt service. The Board established a revenue policy, which sets a goal for debt coverage ratio to be approximately 150% for forecasting and planning purposes, realizing the impact of the increased debt coverage ratio on bond ratings. The District maintains a ten year forecast to budget capital improvements financed by a combination of debt and current fees. Based on projections using modest, consistent rate increases and capital improvement projects as outlined in the District’s 10‐year Capital Improvement Plan, an additional $24 million in debt is anticipated to be issued in fiscal year 2015 without affecting the planned rate of user charge increases.

2012‐2013 BUDGET DOCUMENT
Debt Financing (continued) Capital Projects Funding Funding for capital projects comes from a combination of revenue bonds and pay‐as‐you‐go financing. Details may be found in the Policies & Budget Process tab of this budget document where Debt Policy is presented and in the schedule, “Budget/Rate Forecast” which illustrates the timing of debt issues and accumulation of revenues over expenditures anticipated to be available for capital financing. Generally speaking, half of the funds for capital improvements come from debt financing, with the other half funded by the excess of revenues over expenditures (pay‐as‐you‐go). During FY10, the District issued $17.2 million fixed rate revenue bonds. The District anticipates expending the entire amount of proceeds within two years. During this time, the District will also accumulate funding from operations to finance a portion of the capital budget until the next debt issuance, anticipated to be in FY13. Additionally, the District issued $13.4 million fixed rate revenue refunding bonds. This was to refund the remaining maturities of the 1999 Series Bonds. Also during FY10, the District entered into an agreement with the Department of Environmental and Natural Resources to fund a sanitary sewer project. The District agrees to pay the State of North Carolina the principal sum of $707,346. As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the unpaid principal sum is immediately reduced by one‐half of the loan amount as “Principal Forgiveness”. Interest will accrue at the rate of 0% per annum on the unpaid principal sum of the Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund. As of June 30, 2012, the District will have $96.2 million par value of outstanding revenue bond debt. During FY13, over $4.4 million in principal will be repaid. The District anticipates issuing an additional $24 million in revenue bonds in FY15. Debt service from this future bond issue has been included in the District’s long‐ term budget plan and sewer rate increases. A summary of outstanding debt at June 30, 2012 and anticipated principal repayment during FY13 are on the following two (2) pages.

2012‐2013 BUDGET DOCUMENT
About MSD, City of Asheville & Buncombe County About MSD The MSD is a public body and body politic and corporate of the State of North Carolina, exercising public and essential governmental functions and organized under the provisions of the North Carolina Metropolitan Sewerage Districts Act, being Article 5, Chapter 162A of the General Statutes of North Carolina, as amended. The District was established in 1962 to construct and operate facilities for sewage treatment for municipalities and sanitary districts within Buncombe County. In 1967, the District completed the construction of a 25 million gallon per day (MGD) wastewater treatment plant adjacent to the French Broad River. Nineteen miles of interceptor sewer were initially built, connecting the collector sewer systems located within the municipalities and other political subdivisions, which comprised the District. Then, In the late 1980’s, the District expanded the capacity of the water reclamation facility to its current capacity of 40 MGD, rehabilitated the hydroelectric dam and powerhouse to mitigate energy costs, and built a thermal converter for sludge disposal. In July 1990, the political subdivisions comprising the District transferred their respective sewerage systems to the District. These systems had been previously owned, operated, and maintained separately by each political subdivision. The purpose of this sewer consolidation was to create a consolidated sewerage system in the urbanized portion of Buncombe County with ownership of all components of the system and responsibility for their operation, maintenance, and capital improvement centralized with the District. Before the sewer consolidation, the District had little control over the condition, operation, and maintenance of individual collector systems, which significantly affect the operational efficiency of the wastewater plant. Buncombe County is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. The District is comprised of the following political subdivisions located within Buncombe County: City of Asheville Fairview Sanitary Sewer District Town of Montreat Skyland Sanitary Sewer District Town of Biltmore Forest Busbee Sanitary Sewer District Town of Black Mountain Swannanoa Water & Sewer District Town of Weaverville Caney Valley Sanitary Sewer District Town of Woodfin Woodfin Sanitary Water & Sewer District Beaverdam Water & Sewer District Crescent Hill Sanitary Sewer District Enka‐Candler Water & Sewer District Venable Sanitary District The District Board consists of twelve appointed members. Three (3) from the County of Buncombe, three (3) from the City of Asheville, and one (1) each from the Woodfin Sanitary Water & Sewer District, and the Towns of Biltmore Forest, Black Mountain, Montreat, Woodfin and Weaverville.
Under the North Carolina Metropolitan Sewerage Districts Act, the District is authorized, among other things, to: (a) acquire, lease, construct, reconstruct, improve, extend, enlarge, equip, repair, maintain, and operate any sewerage system or part thereof (including facilities for the generation and transmission of electric power and energy) within or without the District; (b) to issue revenue bonds to pay the costs of any of the foregoing; and (c) to fix and revise from time to time and collect rents, rates, fees and other charges for the use of or the services and facilities furnished by any sewerage system. www.msdbc.org

About City of Asheville & Buncombe County (continued) Population and Growth Statistics Population growth in Buncombe County has occurred largely in a linear fashion along major transportation routes, which is reflected in the configuration of the District’s service area. The District is approximately 160 square miles in total area, and comprises nearly 25% of the total land area of Buncombe County. The District’s service area corresponds generally with the urbanized core of Buncombe County, and includes small portions of northern Henderson County. The population of the area has steadily increased, as illustrated in the following chart: Year

Located in approximately the geographic center of Buncombe County, the City of Asheville is the major population center in the District. About 35% of the County’s residents live in Asheville. Five incorporated towns in Buncombe County ‐ Black Mountain, Biltmore Forest, Weaverville, Woodfin, and Montreat ‐ are included in the District’s service area. Weaverville and Woodfin are north of Asheville, Black Mountain and Montreat are located in eastern Buncombe County, and Biltmore Forest is contiguous to the City of Asheville on its southern boundary. Approximately seven percent of the county’s population lives in these five towns.
Employment and Major Industries Buncombe County serves as a regional economic center for Western North Carolina. Its diverse commercial and industrial base includes manufacturing, distribution, travel and tourism, retail trade, health care and governmental services. According to the North Carolina Employment Security Commission, 115,689 people were employed in Buncombe County as of April 2012. The number of persons in the labor force has increased by 4,722 over the previous year. Buncombe County’s economy has been expanding and becoming more diverse. Recognizing that textile industries no longer dominate the manufacturing base, the public and private sectors in Buncombe County have been working together to encourage the relocation and development of new industries and other economic endeavors. In addition, the Buncombe County Tourism Development Authority works to foster the continued growth of tourism and convention business. Downtown redevelopment efforts by the City of Asheville have also provided additional office, retail shop, and parking space. Employment in the service sector is increasing, but manufacturing remains a significant part of the local economy. The diverse products manufactured include food, textiles, apparel, wood products, printing and publishing, rubber and plastic products, fabricated metal products, industrial machinery and equipment, www.msdbc.org

About City of Asheville & Buncombe County (continued) electrical equipment, and transportation equipment. Health care, retail sales, education, and government services are the principal employers in the growing service sector of Buncombe County’s labor force. Buncombe County serves as a regional medical center for most of western North Carolina. There are two major hospital complexes located in Buncombe County: Mission Hospital, an 800‐bed acute care medical center, and the federally funded Veteran’s Administration Medical Center, consisting of a 275‐bed acute care hospital and 64‐bed nursing facility. Also located in Buncombe County is Thoms Rehabilitation Hospital, a 100‐bed facility for the treatment of stroke and ambulation dysfunction victims and head injury patients. Tourism and the hospitality industry also constitute major segments of employment in the service sector and are projected to increase significantly. The impact of tourism is multi‐dimensional and includes conventioneers, commercial visitors, and tourists taking advantage of the mountain scenery, moderate climate, and craft skills of persons living in the area. Closely related to the tourism industry is the growth of discount malls and outlet stores. The seasonal influx of persons from outside the region is strengthening Buncombe County’s position as the primary regional retail center for area and tourist commerce. To provide a source of funds for promoting the recreational, cultural, and other attractions of the area, Buncombe County has imposed an occupancy tax on hotel and motel rooms in Buncombe County. The revenues from this tax are used by Buncombe County’s Tourism Development Authority to promote the growth of tourism and convention business. This favorable economic environment has resulted in lower unemployment rates for Buncombe County than across the state and nation. In addition, median household income has increased by 42% in Buncombe County and 38% in the City of Asheville since 1990. According to the U. S. Department of Commerce, for the year 2000, median household income in the City of Asheville was $32,772 and in Buncombe County was $36,666. This compares with $39,184 for the state of North Carolina and $41,994 for the nation as a whole.
Education Buncombe county has two public school systems: the Asheville City Administrative Unit, which serves about 3,700 students, and the Buncombe County Administrative Unit, which serves approximately 25,000. Asheville‐Buncombe Technical Community College provides training to about 7,000 students in a variety of business, technical, and health care curricula frequently adjusted to reflect the economic development needs of the County. Warren Wilson College and Montreat College, both located in the eastern part of the County, are private four‐year colleges with a combined enrollment of approximately 2,000. The University of North Carolina at Asheville (“UNCA”) is an undergraduate, state‐supported liberal arts college with an enrollment of approximately 3,500 students. UNCA also provides graduate education programs in collaboration with other universities in the North Carolina System.
