The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) presented a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award to the Town of Sahuarita, Arizona for its annual budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2016. In order to receive this award, a governmental unit must publish a budget document that meets program criteria as a policy document, as a financial plan, as an operations guide, and as a communications device. This award is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current budget continues to conform to program requirements, and we are submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another award.



Another passing year gives pause for a discussion about where our community is headed and where we’ve been. There really is no better framework for this discussion than our annual budget, which represents what we plan to do with the dollars entrusted by residents through the taxes and fees they pay. It’s through this system of governance, checked by public accountability, that we are able to offer amenities such as our public parks and necessities such as law enforcement and infrastructure projects. We are able to keep our roads in repair and plan for expansion of amenities well into the future precisely because we have kept careful watch over every dollar we save and every dollar we spend. We are able to offer our police department the best in emerging technologies to keep the public safe because we spend your money wisely. Another year comes and goes and we are happy to report that we are still in a great place, fiscally speaking. As with every year, this year’s budget reflects the shifting priorities that come with new opportunities and challenges. There have been some major developments this year that have expanded the services offered by the Town, and these have the potential to have great impact as improvements over the existing services. In this regard, the town was pleased to announce in late May that we would launch our own Animal Services Division to replace the existing services. We have thus terminated our intergovernmental agreement with Pima County Animal Care Center as of July 1. It was both a concern for making sure that our residents have access to the best service, and our desire to spend public money wisely that inspired this change. This will allow us to respond better to resident calls, help keep the community safe, ensure animal welfare and provide the accountability our residents expect and deserve. We have hired one full-time employee to add to the Town’s roster of public servants as an animal control officer, and we’ve contracted with the reputed no-kill Humane Society of Southern Arizona for sheltering services. We have taken over dog licensing from the county and are currently licensing dogs and promoting animal care through shot clinics for dogs and other such related events to come. A great advancement is standing just over the horizon for our Sahuarita Police Department too. Several years in the making, we are happy to announce that we will be purchasing body-worn camera equipment for our officers this year, which will be paid for with anti-racketeering funds.


Body-worn cameras can provide real-time evidence for use in court cases, ensuring that justice follows facts. They also improve the quality of police reports by allowing an officer to record conducted interviews with witnesses and victims of crime. In addition, body-worn cameras ensure that police work is done in keeping with the constitution and rights of United States citizens. Cameras are a device for quality control of police work and serve to decrease complaints filed against officers, saving the Town and taxpaying residents from expensive claims and litigation. Our Public Works Department has kicked road maintenance into full-gear. As opposed to fiscal year 2017, where there were new construction and major road projects, 2018 will see dollars budgeted more toward maintaining and repairing roads, so that we keep our infrastructure in the well-maintained condition to which our residents are accustomed. Town Council has seen fit to make sure that the budget reflects this priority with $1.4 million allocated for our road maintenance program. Residents will see a number of maintenance and road upgrade projects over the summer and into the fall of 2017, as ADA ramps, curbs, and drainage scuppers are installed and sidewalks are replaced. In addition, with a forward view toward public safety and traffic flow, roadways are being widened and otherwise augmented to accommodate left-turn lanes at Camino Rancheria, Camino Rancho Caliente and Camino Rancho Tierra. In terms of economic development, we have a few really great things coming down the pipeline. Probably most exciting for those of us at Town Hall, is the Sahuarita Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center (SAMTEC) project that has been cleared for groundbreaking through the Town’s $3 million grant award from the Economic Development Administration (EDA). SAMTEC will house multiple businesses with the intent to establish a small business innovation, research and technology cluster. This project will help to attract new industries and employment opportunities for residents. It will no doubt also make Sahuarita a more attractive place for service industry businesses to locate and supply the kind of amenities that our residents want to see develop. In addition, to groundbreaking on SAMTEC, 2018 will also see 200,000 square feet of new retail space under construction, most notably in the development projects of “The Crossing at Sahuarita” and “The Corner at Rancho Sahuarita.” For all of these projects the current budget will realize additional building permit revenues and construction contracting taxes—as construction begins or continues. Future budgets will realize additional sales tax revenue as the businesses that occupy the spaces become operational. In 2018, you will see the Town Center/Public Plaza visioning effort continue. Most costs associated with this project will be borne out later, but much of the planning for it is slated for completion in 2018. The true shape and scope of this project remains to be seen, and direction from council as well as input from residents will ultimately help sculpt it into a reality. We are so excited to see how it will take form. We are confident that we have put into motion the cogs that will turn out a fully-realized public gathering place and associated private developments that our entire community will enjoy for many years to come. This Town Center Project is a tangible result born of last year’s Branding, Development and Marketing Action Plan where the Town also adopted a new logo, tagline and aesthetic motifs to support Sahuarita’s identity as a communityoriented place with abounding growth opportunities for families, businesses and economy.


As with 2017, fiscal year 2018 will see published marketing materials from the town undergo changes to match the Town’s new brand direction, as well as a website overhaul that will bring the website into line with the new brand, and make the site more accessible, easier to use, and informative for residents. These changes will come with concern for fiscal responsibility (as did the re-branding initiative itself: paid for by grant funding) as we work brand changes into the normal course of our routine work, and as these changes become feasible and logistically sound, in line with plans already in motion. For example, the website overhaul does not add any substantial costs to the Town for 2018. This is because the work done by our content manager is included in our subscription to their services which were purchased in a previous year, and we have waited for this opportune time (after re-branding) to go through the process of a website overhaul. Residents will note new taglines on event posters and Town marketing materials that proudly proclaim what we know to be true about Sahuarita, “you’re gonna love it here” because this is truly, “where life comes together!” In this fiscal year, we will see some expansion of existing recreation efforts and special events. Our Parks and Recreation Department will hire lifeguards to continue the Summer Open Swim program for the public at SUSD’s Aquatics Center. In addition, our inaugural Summer Concert Series—Live Music at the Lake—will be expanded to continue into the fall and winter seasons, bringing even more family fun and entertainment to our public Sahuarita Lake Park. As previous years bear out, we expect that our Halloween Spooktacular, Winter Festival, and Fiesta Sahuarita will continue to bring us together to celebrate the spirit of community and collaboration. In addition to the many wonderful things going on in Sahuarita, we also recognize the challenges that we will face in the coming year. Among the most challenging issues we face is the large sum of past-due balances owed by wastewater customers. We have put much effort into collecting these sums thus far, and we plan to expand our efforts in the coming year. We do expect that a financial rate analysis completed by an outside agency will recommend increasing wastewater service rates to handle deficits in the fund. These deficits have unfortunately been exacerbated by the number of customers not paying their wastewater bills. We will continue to work with all of our customers to assure that they receive top-notch service through a top-notch facility. As we make our way into 2018 and focus on the plans in motion—and as we celebrate our many successes—may we also reflect on the community spirit that is the source of our greatest strength. I am truly honored to serve the Town of Sahuarita as Town Manager, and I’m proud of our fiscal position and how strong it is. We can be confident that the future for Sahuarita is one where opportunity abounds. We find ourselves beautifully connected. I can honestly say to anyone coming to visit us, “you’re gonna love it here!” because this really is a place where life comes together and dreams are realized. Sincerely,

L. Kelly Udall Town Manager

The budget totals $61,283,920 and is in balance, which means that total funding sources equal or exceed total budgeted expenditures. Budgeted expenditures total $45,347,480 and ending balances total $15,936,440. The budget is adopted for each of the Town’s seven funds as follows.

$17,500,000 $15,000,000 $12,500,000 $10,000,000 $7,500,000 $5,000,000 $2,500,000 $0 ($2,500,000) ($5,000,000) ($7,500,000)

RS CFD 7,699,060 $-

CIIF 11,622,420 $4,329,800

Wastewater 5,827,130 $(5,561,820)

The ending balance deficit in the Wastewater Fund is covered by the surpluses in the General and CIIF funds. See the Fund Budgeting section for more discussion.


The budget is funded from a combination of revenues, debt proceeds, and beginning fund balances. Revenues come from recurring sources, such as taxes, and capital grants for one-time projects. In 2018 these sources provide $31.5 million, or 51.4%, of the total for the budget. Beginning fund balances, which represent available resources accumulated from prior years, provide $22.2 million, or 36.3%, of the total funding sources for the budget. The remaining $7,590,000, or 12.4% of the total budget, will be funded by debt proceeds. Revenues are classified by source. Tax revenues are derived from the 2% transaction privilege tax, property taxes for the Quail Creek Community Facilities District, the 4% construction contracting tax, and franchise fees. Licenses and permits are collected from building permit and sewer connection fees. Intergovernmental revenues are derived from state shared revenues and grants awarded from federal, state, and local governments. Charges for services are earned through sewer user fees, development review fees, recreation program charges, and cost allocation recovery. Other revenues are generated from fines, forfeitures, investment earnings, developer contributions, and other miscellaneous items not classified elsewhere. Refer to the Major Revenue Sources section of this document for more information on revenues.

Debt Proceeds $7,590,000 12% Licenses & Permits, $1,886,830 , 3% Charges for Services $4,303,880 7%


Expenditures and other uses are classified by type. Approximately $15.9 million, or 26.0%, of the budgeted sources are not expected to be spent during the year and, therefore, will be the fund balances at the end of the year. Any fund balance that is not restricted may be used at the discretion of Town Council for emergencies, unforeseen events or opportunities. Operations accounts for $22.7 million, or 37.0%, of the budget. Operations include current costs associated with the day-to-day activities of the Town. These costs include payroll, contracted services, supplies, operating capital and other as provided on the next page. Capital outlay comprises $17.0 million, or 27.8%, of the budget. This appropriation will be used to build and purchase capital assets that are not considered to be part of the operating budget. The Capital Improvement Plan provides detailed descriptions and budget plans for the Town’s capital projects and acquisitions for the next five years. The debt service category represents $5.6 million, or 9.2%, of the budget and accounts for the annual payments on long-term debt and capital lease principal, interest, and fees paid.

There are five categories of operational expenditures: (1) personnel, (2) services, (3) supplies, (4) other, and (5) operating capital. The personnel category accounts for the largest component of operations. Costs in this category are those associated with maintaining a workforce and include salaries and wages, health and dental insurance, payroll taxes, pension plan contributions, worker’s compensation, unemployment insurance, and uniform allowances. The services category, which accounts for outsourced services and other contractual obligations. This is the second largest category of operations. Services include utility costs and professional services such as those performed by attorneys, auditors, financial advisors, and engineers. These services also include intergovernmental agreements with State and Pima County for services provided for tax collections, animal control, 911 dispatch, and incarceration. The supplies category included items such as fuel, postage, police armory and range supplies, tires, recreation supplies, street signs and barricades, wastewater chemicals, and small equipment purchases. The other category accounts for items that are not accounted for in the other categories and includes travel and training, memberships, subscriptions, insurance premiums, sponsorships, contributions to organizations to provide services to others, and internal costs allocations. Operating capital represents vehicle and equipment purchases, facility repairs and maintenance improvements, and capital-related studies with unit costs of $5,000 or more. These projects are smaller in scope, size, and cost of other capital projects but are often necessary for departments to accomplish their operational objectives.

Costs for services are increasing $836,970. Of this $0 amount, $597,000 is allocated in the Streets Personnel Department for pavement management, grantFY 2018 $13,651,480 funded roadway engineering studies, CFD FY 2017 $12,935,920 engineering costs, traffic signal repairs, and the % Change 5.5% (roadway) youth art program; $74,000 is allocated in the Police Department for animal control and the body camera program; $67,500 for expanded wastewater collections efforts; and $63,500 for other engineering and development review. Other less significant changes, increases and decreases, are identified in Departmental section. The supplies budget is increasing by $97,820. $80,000 of the increase is for grant-funded police equipment. Other increases are mostly related to the purchase of new software packages and inflationary cost impacts. Conversely, the budget for fuel is dropping by $29,700 as it appears the amount budgeted in 2017 was too high. Other expenditures are going up by $136,910. Of this amount, $50,000 is associated with allowances for bad debt on wastewater customer accounts; $27,900 is to account for more indirect costs being allocated to other operational cost centers; $27,300 more for memberships, travel and training; $15,500 for the Wastewater Department recycle/greycycle events; and $12,900 for increasing insurance premiums for property and liability insurance.

See the Capital Plan section for more information. Debt service is increasing by $522,980. The amount primarily represents the net difference between last year’s Quail Creek CFD bond refunding, which lowers debt service costs in 2018, offset by new debt costs associated with the issuance of Rancho Sahuarita CFD bonds in 2018. Other changes are associated with existing debt payment scheduled amounts.

Current Rate Structure

The Town operates under Arizona’s Model City Tax Code (http://modelcitytaxcode.az.gov/). The Town assesses a 2.0% tax rate on most general, non-service business transactions. The State of Arizona collects taxes on behalf of the Town and remits them to the Town on a weekly basis.

Assumptions

Projections were based on estimated population and growth in commercial development. The estimates were derived using planning documents for new development in the Town. Inflationary factors and tax leakage assumptions were also considered in the projections.

Trend

Positive. General sales taxes per capita are projected to increase over time. More commercial development will result in less sales leakage, resulting in a higher per capita capture rate.

Current Rate Structure

The Town operates under Arizona’s Model City Tax Code (http://modelcitytaxcode.az.gov/). The Town has a tax rate of 4.0% on all construction contracting transactions. The State of Arizona collects taxes on behalf of the Town and remits them to the Town on a weekly basis.

Assumptions

Projections were based on growth estimates. The expectation was derived using planning documents for new development, factored for items influencing the housing market in the State and nationwide. Inflationary impacts were also considered.

Trend

Stable. Construction contracting taxes are projected to cover about the same percentage of debt service costs in the CIIF as it has in the past. Taxes are expected to increase in the future as more commercial is expected to develop. The capital plan, however, assumes that more debt will be issued in the future as well.

Current Rate Structure

Building permitting fees are calculated primarily by the type and size of the building structure. Mechanical, plumbing, and electrical fees are calculated based upon a standard percentage of the building permit valuation. The fees are collected when the permits are issued to the applicant.

Assumptions

Projections were based on the number of permits expected to be issued for each year. The expectation was derived using planning documents for new development as well as expectations about factors influencing the housing market in the State and nationwide.

Trend

Slightly Negative. Compared to the past, future revenues are expected to cover a lower percentage of the direct costs to operate the Planning and Building Department. Costs increase over time due to inflationary factors. The increase in new growth is not expected to occur at quite the same rate, creating the slightly negative trend. Accordingly, future fee/rate increases may be warranted.

Current Rate Structure

The Town’s utility currently only serves two developments in the Town. For these developments, the Town is contractually obligated to charge the same fee that the Pima County Wastewater Utility charges. Charges are based upon water meter size that servers the facility in question. The fees are collected when building permits are issued. Pima County appears likely to increase fees in 2018, which means the Town will have to do the same.

Assumptions

Projections were based on the number of permits expected to be issued. The expectation was derived using planning documents for new development as well as expectations about factors influencing the housing market in the State and nationwide.

Trend

Positive. A larger proportion of the Town’s future growth is expected to occur in the utility’s service area. This will generate more revenues. As the debt service obligation is expected to remain flat, a higher percentage of these costs will be covered by the connection fees.

Current Rate Structure

The State’s transaction privilege tax rate is 5.6%. The State’s distribution is based upon the Town’s population figures in proportion to the populations of other municipalities. Historically, the population figures were adjusted every five years. Beginning in 2017 and afterwards, the population basis will be adjusted annually based upon US Census estimates. Distributions are made monthly.

Assumptions

The Arizona Department of Revenue provides the Town with projected revenues for the upcoming fiscal year. Future projections are based upon the Town’s estimated growth compared to the State’s projections for its future growth.

Trend

Positive. State shared sales taxes per capita are projected to increase over time. The State’s economy is growing and the Town’ population growth is expected to outpace the Statewide average.

Current Rate Structure

The State distributes to the municipalities 15% of the total income taxes it collected from two years prior. The State’s distribution is based upon the Town’s population figures in proportion to the populations of other municipalities. Historically, the population figures were adjusted every five years. Beginning in 2017 and afterwards, the population basis will be adjusted annually based upon US Census estimates. Distributions are made monthly.

Assumptions

The Arizona Department of Revenue provides the Town with projected revenues for the upcoming fiscal year. Future projections are based upon the Town’s estimated growth compared to the State’s projections for its future growth.

Trend

Positive. State shared income taxes per capita are projected to increase over time. The State’s economy is growing and the Town’ population growth is outpacing the Statewide average.

Current Rate Structure

The majority of the HURF is generated from the tax on fuel sales ($0.18 per gallon) and a portion on vehicle license taxes. Cities and towns receive 27.5% of total HURF collected. The funds are distributed based on two calculations. First, 50% of the available funds are distributed based on population figures in proportion to other local jurisdictions. Second, the remaining 50% is distributed to counties based on fuel sales and further to cities and towns based on population proportion in the county. Distributions are received monthly.

Assumptions

The Arizona Department of Transportation provides projections for statewide revenue collections. The Town’s projections start with the statewide figure and allocate a proportion of it based upon the Town’s projected population relative to that of the Statewide projected population for the year in question.

Trend

Slightly positive. State shared HURF per capita are projected to increase a little over time. The State’s economy is growing and the Town’ population growth is outpacing the Statewide average. Alternative fuel and more fuel efficient vehicles are expected to slow the revenue growth.

Capital Grants (Miscellaneous & Intergovernmental) The Town receives grant funding from other governmental entities such as the State of Arizona, Pima County, and the Regional Transportation Authority. The Town may also receive capital grants from non-governmental entities (miscellaneous revenue). Capital grant revenues are used for the acquisition and construction of capital assets, as restricted in the grant or intergovernmental agreements. These revenues are typically recorded in the HURF special revenue fund or the CIIF capital projects fund depending on the funding source and nature of the grant agreement.

Capital grant agreements are typically structured to reimburse the Town for actual costs incurred. Grant agreements are in place with the Pima Association of Governments and the Regional Transportation Authority.

Assumptions

Agreements are in place for much of the projected revenues. These agreements primarily reimburse the Town for costs incurred. Therefore, revenues will be realized to the extent that expenditures are incurred on capital projects.

Trend

Negative. The proportion of capital projects funded by grants varies year-toyear but historically has exceeded 55%. The Town has yet to identify grants beyond 2018 for desired projects.

Current Rate Structure

Customers are billed monthly fees based on the average amount of water they consume during the prior year’s winter months. Fees are set at a rate needed to pay for operations and a portion of debt service. The fees are reviewed periodically to determine if they are adequate to meet the obligations of the enterprise. Fees are expected to be increased in midway through 2018 and then for the two years following.

Assumptions

The majority of the projected revenues will be collected from existing customers. New customers of the utility will generate additional revenues. The expectation for new customers was derived using planning documents for new development and expectations about factors influencing the housing market in the State and nationwide

Trend

Positive. Future rate increases are expected to produce higher sewer user fees per customer over time. Also, we expect there to be more commercial development in the next five year, which will drive the average up.

FUND BUDGETING What is Fund Budgeting? The Town organizes its activities into seven different funds. Each fund in the Town of Sahuarita is a separate set of accounts that identifies and predicts unique sources and uses of funding. When summed together, these funds form the legal budget (see Legal Requirements section for more information). Each fund is accounted for separately. What is Fund Accounting and why is it different from business accounting? Governments and businesses perform their accounting in very different ways in order to accomplish different purposes. The Governmental Finance Officers Association describes the differences in the following way: For purposes of determining profitability, it typically suffices to look at a business “taken as a whole.” Such a “big picture” approach, however, normally is insufficient for assessing stewardship and compliance. What is really needed in this latter case is some tool for organizing and presenting data about financial resources that highlights the fact that certain resources have been “segregated for the purposes of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restriction, or limitations.” For state and local governments, that tool is fund accounting. What are the Funds used by the Town? The Town uses the following seven funds to account for all of its financial activity.  General Fund  Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF)  Grants and Restricted Sources Fund (GARS)  Quail Creek Community Facilities District Fund (QC CFD)  Rancho Sahuarita Community Facilities District Fund (RS CFD)  Capital Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF)  Wastewater Fund (WW) What is a balanced budget? A fund is considered to be in balance when its financial sources equal its uses. Sources are made up of all money received during the year plus all savings from prior years, and uses are made up of all money spent during the year plus all money to be saved for future years. For practical purposes, however, it may be better to consider a fund in balance when there is at least as much money coming in as going out. When each fund is in balance, the sum of these funds (the budget taken as a whole) will be in balance.

GENERAL FUND Purpose: The General Fund serves as the chief operating fund of the Town. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in other funds.

2018 budgeted revenues exceed expenditures by $119,220 and are 8.0% and 7.2%, respectively, more than last year. The General Fund ending balance is expected to decline by $2.58 million. The decrease is attributable to transfers of resources to the CIIF and the Wastewater funds to provide funding for capital projects in those funds.

The ending fund balance is projected to be $16.5 million. Of this amount, $5.12 million is non-spendable as that amount of funding will be advanced to the Wastewater Fund to manage its deficit position. The remainder is 72% of the General Fund's budgeted expenditures, well above the 25% stabilization reserve level required by Town ordinance. The General Fund reserves commitment includes balances ($843 thousand) to cover the operational reserve deficiencies of the HURF and Wastewater Funds. The Town Council has also assigned $100,000, available for the Town Manager to handle unanticipated needs during the year, and continues to set aside $500,000 for future asset maintenance. Finally, the Town Council has adopted a policy establishing a $10 million target for unassigned reserves by 2020. Unassigned balances at 2018 year-end are projected to be $5.99 million.

HIGHWAY USER REVENUE FUND Purpose: The Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF) is a Special Revenue Fund that accounts for the Town’s share of the State’s motor fuel tax revenues. HURF revenues are restricted for transportation purposes.

In 2018, total revenues are expected to decrease by 32.9% below last year’s budget. This decrease is attributable to capital grants, whose funding is ultimately transferred to the CIIF to cover costs of street projects. Operating revenues will actually increase by 29.6%. Population adjustments (i.e., increases) account for the increase in operating revenues. Operating costs are budgeted to increase by 29.0% (see Streets Department section for more information on increases).

Ending fund balances will decrease by nearly $100 thousand. As the Town’s infrastructure ages, to maintain adequate roadway conditions, the fund will need to consume more resources than are generated each year. Ending fund balance is projected to be $389 thousand, which is restricted for transportation purposes only. This balance falls short of the 25% operational reserve requirement of the fund by $312 thousand. As such, the General Fund has set aside additional reserves to cover this shortfall.

CAPITAL INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT FUND Purpose: The Capital Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF) is a Capital Projects Fund that accounts for the acquisition, construction, replacement, and major repairs of capital facilities and other assets.

The CIIF fund balance is budgeted to decrease $2.45 million. There are insufficient new revenue sources to pay for the Town’s capital priorities in 2018. Therefore, the Town will use resources accumulated in previous years to pay debt service and for much of the replacement costs of operating capital (e.g., vehicles, equipment, etc.), infrastructure improvements, and new facilities (see Capital Improvement Plan for more information).

The ending fund balance is projected to be $4.33 million. Of this amount, $3.30 million will not be available as that amount of funding will be advanced to the Wastewater Fund to manage its deficit position. By motion the Council had assigned debt refunding savings, $361 thousand in 2018, toward future debt service payments. Lastly, $664 thousand of residual balances have been assigned for future capital projects. This amount exceeds the minimum fund balance amount required by Town policy.

WASTEWATER FUND Purpose: The Wastewater Fund is an Enterprise Fund used to account for sewer service operations and the acquisition and construction of capital assets associated with this line of business.

The Wastewater Fund budgeted ending balance is expected to decrease by $622 thousand. A financial plan and rate study, currently underway, are expected to call for rate increases by mid-year. New growth, resulting in connection fees, is expected to pick up 2018. Overall, revenues are expected to increase by 19.5%. Operating expenditures will increase 9.8%. The 2018 budget allocates additional support towards billing and collections, including $150 thousand for bad allowances. Moreover, as the system ages, more funds are needed for rehabilitation, repair and maintenance. Transfers in of $1.19 million from the General Fund will be used to pay for the construction of new retention basins that will increase the number of annual recharge credits generated by the utility. The debt service net revenue coverage ratio is expected to be 1.29, exceeding the 1.20 is the minimum required by the WIFA system revenues loan agreement.

STREETS DEPARTMENT INFORMATION M.J. Dillard, Public Works Director/Town Engineer mdillard@sahuaritaaz.gov 520-344-7100

MISSION STATEMENT: The Streets Department maintains public streets, rights-of-way and storm water drainage facilities. STREETS (10.7 FTE, $2,975,190) The Public Works – Streets Department is responsible for effective management of Town-owned infrastructure and public rights-ofway, specifically the maintenance of all public streets, roadways, landscape areas, and drainage ways to ensure the facilities fulfill the function for which they were designed. Well maintained public transportation and drainage facilities promote and enhance the quality of life throughout our community. The Streets Department also plays a key role with the engineering division to ensure that recurring operation & maintenance costs are considered and accounted for when planning for capital projects. As part of the ongoing effort toward continuous improvement in its annual maintenance costs, the Streets Department maintains an active Town wide volunteer program and Inmate Labor Program.

-------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT HIGHLIGHTS -------------------------------------

The Department completed drainage improvements along Camino Antigua and La Canada Drive. The improvements reduce sheet flow and provide scour protection, decreasing the erosion that occurs along the road shoulders. Enhancements such as these reduce staff and contractor time necessary to clean up after heavy rain events.

The Department completed an overlay along Camino De Las Quintas. The overlay will extend the road life and offered an opportunity to correct several drainage issues that previously caused ponding after rain events. The new road surface improves pavement drainage, reduces the time and expense necessary to clean debris after heavy rain events, and minimizes the overall disruption of transportation services resulting from ponding and debris removal.

Volunteers assisted the Department with “Adopt-ARoadway,” “Adopt-A-Wash,” “Adopt-An-Underpass,” “Beat Back Buffelgrass” and other vital programs. Volunteers play a key role in enhancing the quality of life for the community, while helping the Department achieve its goal of organizational effectiveness.

As part of the ongoing goal to provide effective operation of Town-owned infrastructure, the Department has continued development of an asset management system for Town-owned infrastructure. These efforts will provide enhanced tracking of inspection, repair, and maintenance activities.

The Department continues to enhance civic engagement through online reporting of potential issues, questions, or concerns. Citizen feedback is essential to the department’s operations. The “Request Tracker” link on the Town’s website and the “YourGov” smart phone application allow citizens to report concerns directly to the Public Works Department.

WASTEWATER DEPARTMENT INFORMATION M.J. Dillard, Public Works Director/Town Engineer mdillard@sahuaritaaz.gov 520-344-7100

MISSION STATEMENT: The Wastewater Department maintains and operates the wastewater plant and collection system to ensure system integrity.

WASTEWATER (6.3 FTE, $1,669,680) The Public Works – Wastewater Department is responsible for maintaining permit compliance and the effective operation and maintenance functions associated with the Town’s Water Treatment and Reclamation Facility, including over 13 acres of recharge basins for reclaimed water. The facility is permitted to treat up to 3.0 million gallons per day. The Sahuarita Water Reclamation Facility converts raw sewage into its final form of Class A+ quality reclaimed water through biological treatment, filtering, nitrogen removal, and disinfection. Reclaimed water is recharged into the aquifer through infiltration basins. Credits earned through recharge are stored for the future and are used to offset groundwater use at Lake Park. The Department is also responsible for the associated sewer collection system, which includes approximately 45 miles of sewer lines and over 1,100 manholes. Another key role of the Wastewater Department, that is accomplished through the engineering and administrative support within the Public Works Department, is to conduct planning and policy development to manage industrial waste permitting, respond to customer service requests related to the sewer system, pursue future service delivery opportunities, facilitate development opportunities, assure developer funded projects provide necessary infrastructure, and monitor construction of those improvements to ensure high quality and cost-effective Infrastructure.

-------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT HIGHLIGHTS -------------------------------------

In 2015, the Department treated over 280 million gallons of wastewater, with an average daily flow of 767,990 gallons.

Throughout 2015 the operations staff attended various trainings such NTT basics of industrial electricity, variable frequency drives basics, and troubleshooting electrical control circuits. Other safety trainings included forklift safety, blood-borne pathogen training, hazard communication and confined space to name a few.

The Department completed installation of a new step screen. The addition of the step screen repair or maintenance of step screen units without causing any interruption in treatment, eliminates the need for costly alternative hauling, and assures ongoing compliance with the Aquifer Protection Permit.

The Department coordinated efforts with the Green Valley Council in the collection of wastes, such as

electronics, household hazardous materials, and unused medications. Such events help protect the treatment system from unintended interruption in service due to improperly disposed waste materials. 

Throughout the year, Department staff participated in events aimed at teaching students about water resources, emphasizing our commitment to enhance civic engagement through public participation. Events included the third annual Sahuarita-Green Valley Water Festival funded by Freeport McMoRan and the Pima Association of Governments and the Sahuarita SciTech Festival, which introduces middle school students to the role of a wastewater treatment operator and providing them a first-hand look at analyzing water quality while drawing attention to the Department’s role in maintaining and operating the wastewater system to ensure system integrity. Both events were part of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education units.

FIVE-YEAR PLAN In order to develop a budget and to ensure that the Town continues to remain on excellent financial footing, a five year plan is evaluated and updated each year. As with any planning tool, this document uses estimates and expectations to project future results. In order to achieve accurate results, the plan must accurately identify the elements which drive results. While it may be simplistic to identify revenues as the driving force behind our five year plan, it is an essential first step. Without changes to the tax rate or structure, revenues are largely outside the control of the Town. Conversely, determining what services the Town will provide—and thereby establishing budget levels—are under the control of the Town Council. These budgeted expenditure levels are typically established only after revenue forecasts are determined, to see what can be afforded. The following assumptions were used in developing the five year financial plan:          

The base year for forecasts is the budget for fiscal year 2018 Economic growth will occur at a slow-moderate pace Based upon planning documents, there will be some commercial development Unless noted elsewhere, there will be no changes to operational service levels Personnel costs increase over time more than other costs due to merit increases and rising costs for health insurance and retirement contributions No future changes to tax rates or structure No future changes to fees or fee structures unless noted No future changes in policies and procedures No future changes in legislation that would impact Town finances Inflationary factors were included in projections

The approach used in developing the five year financial plan is consistent with the methods used to develop the budget. In order to produce forecasts that are reasonably conservative, numerous scenarios are considered and evaluated, including best and worst cases. The extreme cases are interesting to consider but would likely lead to irrational decisions. We ultimately reach and agree on forecasts that are somewhere between the extremes but, in our best judgment, have more upside than downside to them. All financial forecasts produced by the Town implement the same philosophy:     

We exist for the betterment of our residents. Therefore, we will maintain foundational service levels in core functions. We will live within our means. We will pay our debt and meet debt obligations. We will use a performance measurement program to measure and improve our effectiveness and efficiency. We will maintain healthy reserves in the General Fund.

Numerous resources are used to develop the forecasts: External Resources  League of Arizona Cities and Towns  Joint Legislative Budget Committee  Arizona Department of Revenue  Arizona Department of Transportation  Office of the Arizona State Treasurer  University of Arizona Eller College of Management  Arizona State University W.P. Carey School of Business  Government Finance Officers Association  Governmental Accounting Standards Board  Local developers’ growth projections Internal Resources  Finance and Investment Advisory Committee  Town Council/departments/staff  Existing plans and policies Tools and Techniques  Regression analysis  Ratio analysis  Trend analysis  FISCALS application


The focus of the Town’s appropriated funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the Town’s financial requirements. In particular, available fund balances serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of a particular fiscal year. The following summarizes Town activity over the next five years, by charting ending fund balances for all funds in the aggregate. The black area represents balances that are contractually restricted for specific purposes. The Town has established policies to set aside fund balances for stabilization reserves. These are shown in dark gray. The light gray areas represent balances over-and-above the restricted and commitment levels and are generally available for Council purposes. The chart also shows how much greater fund balances would have been had there been no deficits in the Wastewater Fund. This area is boxed in red dashes.

GENERAL FUND SUMMARY

     

Revenues will grow 21% between 2018 and 2022. See the Major Revenues section for more information. Expenditures will increase 13% between 2018 and 2022. Expenditures only include costs for items built into the 2018 budget; factored in future years for inflation, known and committed items, and cyclical costs (e.g., elections). The five-year plan assumes that certain economic metrics will be obtained pursuant to an economic development agreement, resulting in a $400 thousand payout in 2020. Pursuant to Town policy, revenues will exceed expenditures each year. The fund balance reductions in 2018 and 2020 relate to interfund transfers. Transfers to the CIIF will be used to assist with the completion of high-priority capital items, including $1.53 million for the SAMTEC project and $250 thousand annually for pavement management on arterial and collector streets. This project will generate future lease revenues that will result in pay back to the General Fund. Transfers to the Wastewater Fund, totaling $1.28 million, will be used to construct additional retention basins as part of the Wastewater Plant Expansion V project. This project will provide more effluent recharge, which could be used to pay back the General Fund. Nonspendable fund balances, which relate to the Wastewater Fund’s operating deficit, are expected to increase $967 thousand between 2018 and 2022. Pursuant to Town policy, reserve commitments will be fully funded. Nearly $1.1 million (annual average) of the reserves relate to other funds that are unable to establish sufficient reserves on their own. The five-year plan assumes that the Town Council will continue to assign $100 thousand annually to the Town Manager to contend with budget contingencies and $500,000 annually for future asset maintenance.

HIGHWAY USER REVENUE FUND SUMMARY 

State shared HURF revenues will grow 16% between 2018 and 2022. See the Major Revenues section for more information.

The Streets Department operating budget will grow 8% between 2018 and 2022. These expenditures will exceed the state shared HURF revenues each year, resulting in declining fund balances.

Local Transportation Assistance Funds (LTAF), accumulated in prior years, will be completely spent by 2017 yearend. This revenue is no longer available.

Transfers out to the CIIF are needed to reimburse the CIIF for capital project costs incurred on street projects and for vehicle purchases/leases.

Ending balances are not sufficient to cover the operating reserves required by policy. Deficiencies will average $556 thousand annually and be reserved by the General Fund.

GRANTS AND RESTRICTED SOURCES FUND SUMMARY 

Most of the revenues are from grants and other contributions. These are recognized to the extent that there are underlying expenditures. This activity has no impact on fund balance.

The fund also receives revenues from RICO seizures and Court fines. These sources come without a spending obligation and may be accumulated over time. These accumulated balances are restricted for purposes related to the Police Department and Municipal Court.

Most of the expenditures in this fund are one-time in nature. Therefore, fund balance projections will continue to increase until uses can be identified and programmed into the five-year plan.

Thereafter, fund balances will remain relatively level. $3.3 million of the fund balances are not available for use in the CIIF as they relate to interfund loans which cover a portion of the deficits in the Wastewater Fund.

Ending fund balances will exceed the minimum fund balance requirement outlined in Town policy.

WASTEWATER ENTERPRISE FUND SUMMARY 

User charges are expected to increase by 21% between 2018 and 2022. 4% user fee increases are programmed for years 2018 through 2020. These increases coincide with expected County’s wastewater fee increases. See the Major Revenues section for more information.

Investment losses will occur each year due to the fund’s deficit cash position.

Connection fees are programmed to increase by 2.6% in 2018. This increase coincides with expected County’s wastewater fee increases. See the Major Revenues section for more information.

Departmental operating expenditures are expected to increase by 5% between 2018 and 2022. Due to the Utility’s collections efforts, the portion of costs related to bad debt expense is expected to decline in the future. This lowers the overall departmental increase.

Transfers in from the General Fund will be used to pay for the construction of additional retention basins as part of the Wastewater Plant Expansion V project. This project will provide more long-term storage credits (i.e., effluent recharge), which could be used to pay back the General Fund.

Transfers out to the CIIF are needed to reimburse the CIIF for vehicle purchases/leases made on behalf of the Wastewater Department.

Unassigned fund balances will be in deficit position each year, averaging $8.8 million annually. These deficits will be covered via cash advances from the General Fund and CIIF.

Ending balances will not be sufficient to cover the operating reserve required by Town Policy. The deficiency will average $536 thousand annually and be reserved by the General Fund.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN Providing the capital assets (infrastructure, facilities, and equipment) needed for public services is among the most important responsibilities of Town officials. These assets are the primary method for the Town to accomplish several goals. Construction of capital infrastructure is a method of carrying out partnership plans with private entities. These assets provide a means of supporting and encouraging development in accordance with public plans. Construction of capital facilities is a method of providing a work environment to public employees and a gathering place for general citizenry. And finally, purchase of capital equipment is a method of multiplying the output of public employees. The capital plan is the Town’s multi-year blueprint for creating and maintaining the crucial infrastructure that will support Sahuarita. Each year, in conjunction with the annual budgeting process, the departments of the Town Manager and Finance coordinate the process of revising and updating the plan. The values, priorities, goals, and objectives established by Sahuarita’s elected officials and citizens determine the broad parameters for incorporating new capital improvement projects into the plan. Other documents, such as the Town’s General Plan also provide valuable information and guidance in the preparation of the plan. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN A capital improvement plan (CIP) is the document that local governments use as a multi-year map of planned and funded capital projects and other asset acquisitions. Items included in the CIP are assets that (individually) cost more than $5,000 and have a useful life of numerous years. The Town’s CIP includes the following characteristics: 

The CIP covers a five year period, the budget year and four planning years. The Town reviews and updates the CIP annually. The first year of the CIP is incorporated into the annual budget.

The CIP accounts for minor projects such as office remodeling and projected ongoing equipment replacement plans. Expenditures occur each year and are necessary to ensure the Town has adequate equipment to fulfill critical services.

The CIP allocates project costs by year according to when spending is anticipated to occur. Appropriations of funds, sufficient to cover expenditure levels, are made each year as part of the process of developing the annual budget.

The CIP estimates the impact of projects on the operating budget. Some projects add recurring expenditures and new positions. Others result in expenditure savings or possibly generate additional revenues.

A capital project falls into one of three categories: 1. New construction refers to the creation of new infrastructure which did not exist before. This is needed to provide appropriate service to a growing population. One example would be the construction of a new road. 2. Replace end-of-life assets refers to the natural life cycle of assets which are consumed and need to be replaced in order to provide the same service to our citizens. One example would be the replacement of a bridge when it has become unsafe. 3. Enhance existing assets refers to the improvement of current infrastructure in order to provide better or more efficient service to our citizens. One example would be the improvement of a 4-way stop sign to a lighted traffic signal in order move traffic more efficiently.


Financing Options The Town’s staff conducts a thorough review of all funding options in order to determine the most efficient and least costly method of paying for capital needs. There are generally three categories of funding available: The following category descriptions may be helpful in understanding the chart: 

Local funding refers to the money which has been saved from previous years combined with revenue received in the current year. Local funding is the most flexible resource available. It is also used to make debt payments and to provide a local matching source, required in many grant agreements.

Grants, contributions and restricted sources refer to funding which comes from partner-entities. Some partners, such as the Pima County Regional Transportation Authority, provide financing through grants to reimburse the Town for expenditures. Other partners may provide money, land, or rights to access land in order to accomplish a mutually beneficial goal, such as a water company joining a partnership to improve a bridge and improve the

water line attached to that bridge. 

Debt refers to funding which comes from a structured borrowing of money from the capital markets. Debt is often used when there are insufficient funds on hand to acquire a new asset. Smaller payments are then made over a long-term period of time. Those who benefit from the existence of the new asset are the ones who provide the revenues that are used to make the debt payments; a concept known as intergenerational equity.

A more detailed discussion of each category, including the amount of funding available from various sources follows.

LOCAL FUNDING Capital Fund (CIIF) The Capital Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF) is the financing source that includes the Town’s 4.0% tax on new construction, investment earnings, and accumulated reserves (i.e., beginning fund balances). The Town evaluates the amount of money which has been received in the past as well as the expectation of future revenues to determine the amount of funding available from local sources. This process requires significant analysis and estimation of future capital purchases made from local source as well as estimation of internal wastewater deficits. The information is derived and analyzed concurrently between the plan of capital finance as well as the 5 year plan(s) for the various funds, and the projection of major revenues. Demands on this local source are significant.

Wastewater Fund This source includes system revenues of the wastewater utility, including sewer user and connection fees, accumulated reserves, and investment earnings. The Town evaluates the funding deficiency from the wastewater utility system in the current year as well as projecting the projected cash deficits or surpluses in future years.


GRANTS, CONTRIBUTIONS & RESTRICTED SOURCES Highway Fund (HURF) The State of Arizona assesses a tax on fuel sales. The Town receives an allotment of the tax collections to use on specific capital projects. These collections may be distributed by the Arizona Department of Transportation, but the monies are mostly authorized and distributed through an intermediary; the Pima Association of Governments. In order to obtain funding the Town must submit a proposal for a grant and have the grant proposal approved by either the ADOT or the PAG.

RTA Transportation Tax The Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) is a County-wide jurisdiction that assesses a 0.5% transaction privilege tax on all purchases within its boundaries. Pursuant to regionalized transportation planning, the Town receives an allotment of these tax collections to use on specific capital projects.

Federal and State Grants, Contributions and Restricted Sources Grants and contributions represent grants and awards from federal, state, and other sources. Most of these require the Town to incur project costs and subsequently submit financial reports for reimbursement. The Town must submit grant proposals which are reviewed and approved by the granting authority in order to access grant funds. Restricted sources represent revenues that have been collected pursuant to federal and state law, whose use is limited for specified purposes.

Partnerships The Town is actively seeking partners to increase the public infrastructure within the Town for the benefit of our citizens and our region. We obtain funding from partners who share an interest in increasing the public infrastructure within the Town boundaries.


DEBT Periodically the Town may obtain debt proceeds by entering into long-term debt arrangements with lending institutions, such as banks or the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority (WIFA); or the Town may access the capital markets directly by issuing bonded debt to investors. The debt proceeds are then used to construct or acquire capital assets. Annual debt service payments are made from local revenue sources. Legal Debt Limit The Town is subject to the following debt limitations: 1) Under Arizona law, the citizens of the Town can vote to issue general obligation bonds for an amount up to 20% of its secondary assessed property valuation for specific services, such as transportation, water, sewer, lighting, parks and recreational facilities. 2) Under Arizona law, the citizens of the Town can vote to issue general obligation bonds for an amount up to 6% of secondary assessed valuation for general municipal purposes.

The citizens of the Town have not voted to authorize any general obligation bonds that would apply against these debt limits. The total debt capacity in 2017 is projected to be approximately $55 million. The Quail Creek Community Facilities District and the Rancho Sahuarita Community Facilities District are legally separate entities and, therefore, their debt obligations do not count towards the Town’s debt limitation.

Unfunded “Wish List” Projects Many projects considered were deemed a high enough priority that they would have been included in the five-year CIP to some extent but for lack of sufficient resources were not. These projects are included on the following table which the Town considers as its “wish list” of unfunded projects.

Veterans-Municipal Park Expansion 2B Anamax Park Expansion 2 Inclusive Park Playground & Walkways TOTAL

Summary The plan takes into consideration all known capital needs and ties potential revenue sources to those needs. As the Town continues to grow, new needs will undoubtedly surface, causing the plan to fluctuate and require more resources. For this reason, the Town always considers all requests, but only those projects of the highest priority that fit within the available dollars are included in the plan. All other projects may be reconsidered in future years if more funding becomes available. The CIP includes 28 projects totaling $20,421,310 for fiscal years 2018 through 2022. Of these, nine are considered major projects, those that cost more than $250,000, which total $15,797,910 during the five-year plan. There are 19 operating capital and minor projects that total $4,623,400. The 2018 budget incorporates the first year of the CIP.

Arterial and Collector Roadway Enhancements

xxS01

Description Regular maintenance and rehabilitation of existing roadways throughout Town, as needed and identified through studies and/or maintenance history. Various treatment types will be utilized to maximize funding and the useful life of the roadways. Roadways are selected for treatment based on priorities outlined in the pavement preservation program.

Justification Without regularly scheduled maintenance, asphalt roads have a 20-year life. The life of a road, however, may be extended up to four times with regularly scheduled yearly maintenance. The Pavement Preservation Program outlines the regularly scheduled maintenance treatments and priorities roadways for additional maintenance as needed to expand the roadways life cycle. Without adequate maintenance, roadway replacements can cost up to 5 times the cost of preservation.

Summary of Operational Costs and Benefits This project includes pavement maintenance projects intended to extend the useful life of the facility. Routine ongoing maintenance is included in the Streets operating budget.

Wastewater Treatment Plant Phase V Expansion

04W02

Description This improvement has brought the paper capacity of the facility from 1,500,000 gallons per day to 3,000,000 gallons per day without changing the physical capacity of the facility of 1,500,000 gallons per day. This project will continue design work started with the Phase IV expansion and tie in any new design parameters necessary to meet Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) standards. At the time of permitting of the 3.0 MGD Aquifer Protection Permit from ADEQ, a 30% design was completed. A five year BADCT permit renewal is required. The final design and construction of Phase V will be determined by the annual capacity report generated by Public Works. Prior to the construction of the facility, a few items VE out of the Phase IV expansion will be completed.

Justification The Town of Sahuarita and future residents in the undeveloped parts of Rancho Sahuarita will also benefit from this expansion. The new capacity will allow for continued support of new development communities. These improvements will also make the surrounding area more attractive for potential merchants. The project will preserve and continue the enhancement qualities of a modern facility as relates to reductions in noise and odor and improved aesthetics of the facility for neighboring residential areas. In addition, the project will continue to ensure operational compliance of the wastewater treatment facility in accordance with State and Federal regulations.

Summary of Operational Costs and Benefits The completion of this project will increase the cost of operations and it will expand the services provided to include an increased number of residents (both private and commercial). The operational cost is not shown as the facility will not be operational until after the 5-year CIP. For future estimating, a comparison of over 30 wastewater utilities yields an average operating cost of $2/gallon. The design work referred to in the Description has not operational component. The improvements described in the Justification/Benefit section describe the enhancements to capacity in support of the Town's development efforts as well as providing clean water to be recharged into the aquifer.

Quail Crossing Boulevard Extension

05P01

Description This project will establish and new east/west connection roadway between Nogales Hwy to Old Nogales Hwy. This project has been studied for a number of years, with funding sources remaining rather elusive. At present, the majority of ROW has been acquired for a full/ultimate roadway with bridge crossing for future investment. At present, there is only enough funding for an interim at-grade, 2-lane roadway from Nogales Hwy to the west side of the Santa Cruz River. With any remaining funding, we will study options for completing the connection.

Justification The project is needed to provide an alternative east/west connection for residents of the Town of Sahuarita that are divided by the Santa Cruz river. Additionally, this area is prime for future development if this access can be completed. The current phase will provide access to undeveloped land west of the Santa Cruz, and is funded by the RTA. There is also a potential for future interim roadway phases to include public/private funding partnerships, and potential Pima County Flood control funding contributions as the need or interest in development in this area increases. Ultimate solutions could be pursued in the future when Pima County Flood control channelizes this reach of the Santa Cruz, and the cost of the ultimate bridge would be significantly reduced.

Summary of Operational Costs and Benefits The completion of this project will increase the cost of operations; however it will improve the services provided to the public. The operational costs are anticipated to be approximately $1,000 per mile/per month. Within our 5 year planning horizon this averages to $61,200 per year. This cost is partially offset by the avoided cost of repair for the roadway which is being improved (this cost was not quantified). The improvements described in the Justification/Benefit section describe the enhancements to the Town's development plans. In addition there will be improvements to the capacity and safety of the transportation system for residents and visitors.

Sahuarita Road at Interstate 19

05P03

Description Traffic Interchange Improvements: Sahuarita Road at Interstate-19. This project involves the reconstruction of an existing traffic interchange at Sahuarita Road and the I-19 and will accommodate six lanes of through traffic. The Design Concept Report (DCR) was completed in 2009. Stage IV (95%) Plans were submitted to ADOT in 2012 and revisions to the Stage IV were progressing based on ADOT comments at that time.

Justification The project will benefit the southern portion of Pima County, but specifically, the town residents using I-19 by raising the level of service of the interchange. Improving the capacity at the interchange will improve safety, allow vehicles to easily access adjacent commercial development, provide better regional connectivity, and allow future widening of I-19 (if/when determined necessary by ADOT).

Summary of Operational Costs and Benefits The completion of this project will have no effect on the cost of operations as the interchange is maintained by the Arizona Department of Transportation, however it will improve the services provided to the public. The operational cost is zero as noted. The improvements described in the Justification/Benefit section describe the enhancements to the Town's development plans. In addition there will be improvements to the capacity and safety of the transportation system for residents and visitors.

Parks Maintenance Building Replacement

14K04

Description Replacement of the Maintenance Building for Parks & Facilities maintenance office, workshop, and storage.

Justification The current maintenance and storage facility at Anamax Park is 30-35 years old. The building has extensive termite damage, no insulation, sagging roof trusses, and inadequate heating and cooling. The building does not meet today's building code standards. Since the opening of the Anamax Recreation Center in 2004 the current facility has been used as a maintenance building and storage facility for all department equipment and is now the only location for maintenance staff offices, recreation and maintenance storage on a large scale, as well as a shop to make repairs on equipment etc.

Summary of Operational Costs and Benefits Operational costs are expected to increase as the new facility will be air conditioned whereas the old facility used a swamp cooling system.

SUSD K-8 Fields Partnership

18K01

Description This project would be a partnership between the Town of Sahuarita and the Sahuarita Unified School District. It would provide additional baseball and multi-use fields to the Town parks system for public use during non-school hours, weekends/holidays, and recreational fields for the students while operating as a school during school hours.

Justification The Town needs more ballfields for league sports and recreation.

Summary of Operational Costs and Benefits The Town will have some responsibility in the on-going maintenance of the facilities to be delineated in the IGA with the SUSD. A rough estimation of operating expenses include cost of electricity for the sports field lights and an additional 25,000 for other maintenance needs to maintain fields at Town standards.

DEBT The Town uses debt to acquire public infrastructure and assets. This debt is paid back over a timeframe that is no longer than the life of the infrastructure and assets acquired. This provides for intergenerational equity in public financial management—a concept where taxpayers finance all current expenditure and sponsor in the financing of inherited productive assets with respect to how much benefit is received from the assets. Stated another way, those who benefit are the ones who pay for the benefit received. The enhancements were for many different functions of the Town, including streets, parks, judicial courts, police headquarters, and general government. Information about total debt, each debt instrument, its use and its repayments follow.

Quail Creek Community Facilities District (QC CFD) General Obligation Bonds In June 2006, the District issued $12.66 million in bonds to provide funds for the construction and acquisition of enhanced infrastructure within the District boundaries, including sewer lines, streets, and a park. In December 2017, all outstanding bonds totaling $9.62 million were refunded. Interest (rates @ 5.00-3.25%) is payable semi-annually and is calculated based upon the principal amount of the refunding bonds outstanding during such period. The bonds are payable from the District’s property tax revenues through 2030. If the property tax revenues are insufficient to make the required payments, the developer of Quail Creek CFD will make a contribution sufficient to make the payment. Remaining principal and interest on all QC CFD debt total:

Capital Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF) Greater Arizona Development Authority (GADA) Loans The Town has borrowed money from the financial markets through GADA, an agency of the State. The GADA secures loans from municipalities and other governmental agents and sells these as bonds on the securities market.

In March 2006 and June 2009, the Town entered into loan agreements with the Greater Arizona Development Authority (GADA) in the amounts of $16.355 million and $6.7 million, respectively. The Town received loans in exchange for pledged future State-shared revenues and excise tax collections, which GADA used as security for its bond issuances. Proceeds of the loans provided financing for the construction of municipal complex, which includes a courthouse, the police headquarters, and town hall, as well as road projects and improvements to North Santa Cruz Park. Interest (rates @ 4.0-5.0%) is payable semi-annually and is calculated based upon the principal amount of the loans outstanding during such period. The loans are payable from the revenues of the Town’s governmental funds through 2029. Remaining principal and interest on the loans total:

Excise Tax Refunding Obligation In March 2015, the Town entered into an agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. to refinance (i.e., advance refund) $8.125 million of the outstanding GADA 2006 loan obligation. The Town has pledged future excise taxes toward repayment. Interest (rates @ 1.98%) is payable semiannually and is calculated based upon the principal amount of the balance outstanding during such period. The loan is payable from the revenues of the Town’s governmental funds through 2025. Remaining principal and interest on the loans total:

Capital Leases The Town has entered into five-year capital lease agreements through 2022 to finance the acquisition of vehicles. Remaining principal and interest on all CIIF debt total:

Wastewater Fund Water Infrastructure Finance Authority Loans In April 2008, the Town entered into two loan agreements with the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority of Arizona (WIFA) to provide funds for the construction and design of several wastewater treatment plant expansions; a system revenue loan for $28.35 million and a nonsystem revenue loan for $3.52 million. Interest (rate @ 3.723%) is payable semi-annually and is calculated based upon the principal amount of the loan outstanding during such period. For the 2008 WIFA System Revenues Loan, the Town has pledged wastewater system resources, net of specified operating expenses. Annual principal and interest payments on the loan are expected to require all of the wastewater system’s net revenues. For the 2008 WIFA Non-System Revenues Loan, the Town has pledged wastewater system resources, net of specified operating expenses, and the excess of non-system revenues (i.e. excise taxes) not pledged towards other debt. Annual principal and interest payments on the loan are expected to obligate less than 5% of pledged resources.

Capital Lease The Town has entered into ten-year capital lease agreement through 2025 to finance the acquisition of a modular building for the utility.

Remaining principal and interest on all Wastewater Fund debt total:

THE BUDGETARY PROCESS FUND COMPOSITION The Town’s financial reporting entity is comprised of seven funds: (1) General Fund, (2) Highway User Revenue Fund, (3) Grants & Restricted Sources Fund, (4) Quail Creek Community Facilities District Fund, (5) Rancho Sahuarita Community Facilities District Fund, (6) Capital Infrastructure Improvement Fund, and (7) Wastewater Enterprise Fund. The Town adopts budgets for all of these funds.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION As in prior years, departments are budgeted on a functional unit basis to emphasize the programmatic components of Town Services. Accordingly, the fiscal year 2017 budget shows the costs associated with each department and for capital projects.

BUDGETARY CONTROL The Town’s adopted budget serves as a legal operating plan for the fiscal year. While its primary function is to provide a planning and allocation tool, it also serves management by providing the basis for measuring performance during the year. The adopted budget has two levels of budgetary constraints: 1) within the operating funds, expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at the department level and 2) within the Capital Infrastructure Improvement Fund expenditures may not legally exceed the functional level of budgeted projects. To monitor compliance with these budgetary constraints, revenue and expenditure reports and budget-versus-actual analyses are prepared periodically by the Finance Department and are reported to the Town Manager and the Town Council. These reports provide not only a mechanism for monitoring performance, but also for adjusting (when necessary) departmental operating plans and resource utilization.

BUDGET AMENDMENTS While state statutes prohibit the Town from exceeding the final adopted budget amount, the budget is still just a planning document, and as such remains sufficiently flexible to accommodate changes that may occur during the fiscal year. There are two categories of change that may be needed: 1) those affecting line items within a single department and 2) those requiring a transfer between departments or funds. In the first instance, the Town Manager retains the authority to modify line item amounts within the departmental budgets, provided the total program budgeted amount remains unchanged. In the second instance, the Town Manager has the authority to evaluate departmental requests for changes between departments and make recommendations for approval to the Town Council. Should the Town Manager recommend the change to the Town Council, the recommendation will be considered at a regularly scheduled, open meeting of the Town Council.


BUDGET PREPARATION AND APPROVAL Zero-Base Budgets Every department shall develop an annual budget using a zero base budget methodology. Under this approach, no target is established. The department evaluates its current level of operations, its programmatic structure, and its staffing in the context of its mission statement and the department’s goals and objectives. Organizational revisions are made, if beneficial to the achievement of department goals. Programs are then divided into services which define the department’s product, or benefit, to the Town. Each program is individually budgeted and can be individually evaluated. Each line item for each program is evaluated and justified. During the year, the actual cost of each program can be captured and variances from budget monitored and analyzed. Capital Improvement Budget On an annual basis, the Town Manager prepares a five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), the first year of which becomes the capital budget. A summary of capital improvement projects for fiscal year 2018 to 2022 is provided in Capital Improvement Plan section of this document.


BUDGET/CIP CALENDAR Date December 2016

Action Budget/CIP Calendar Finance establishes dates for milestone events and components needed to develop the budget.

January 2017 (various dates)

Preliminary revenue projections prepared by Finance Finance prepares five-year revenues projections for all Town funds.

Staff meetings-financial/budget overview During the month of January, the Finance Director communicates with other department heads in order to share the results of preliminary revenue projections and to ensure all departments understand the deadlines and the information required to fulfill each deadline.

Meetings with Technology Division to review technological needs During the month of January, the Technology Manager meets with departments to determine any technological needs and identify the most efficient and effective methods for the Town to address its needs. January 27, 2017

CIP Project Sheets due to Finance Capital Improvement Plan worksheets need to be completed in order for any CIP project to be considered by the Town Manager for recommendation as part of the Budget.

Preliminary departmental (Level 1) budget requests due to Finance (MUNIS) Initial identification of expenditures levels and expected revenue collections need to be entered by each department in order to meet the preliminary (Level 1) cut off. February 10, 2017

Final departmental (Level 2) budget requests due to Finance (MUNIS) Requests for expenditure levels must be reviewed and approved by each department head by this date.

February 27 – March 10, 2017

Departmental meetings with Town Manager to review budget requests Meetings are held by the Town Manager with each department head to review the budget request and determine how the Town Manager will use the requests to create the Manager’s recommended budget for Town Council.

March 13 – 24, 2017

Department follow-up meetings with Town Manager (as needed) Initial meetings may leave questions unresolved. This step provides time for resolution prior to the creation of the Town Manager’s recommended budget.

Public Hearing and adoption of the Rancho Sahuarita CFD 2018 Budget In compliance with State statutes, the governing board of the Rancho Sahuarita Community Facilities District will hold a public hearing and determine if the budget will be adopted for the upcoming year.


FINANCIAL AND BUDGETARY POLICIES Adopted financial polices reflect the Town’s commitment to sound financial management and fiscal integrity. They also provide stability by helping Town officials plan fiscal strategy with a consistent approach. The Town has an important responsibility to its citizens to carefully account for public funds, to manage its finances wisely, and to plan for the adequate funding of services desired by the public, including the provision and maintenance of public facilities. These policies set forth guidelines against which current budgetary performance can be measured and proposals for future programs can be evaluated. General Financial Goals     

To maintain a financially viable municipal government that can provide an adequate level of services. To maintain financial flexibility to be able to continually adapt to local and regional economic changes. To maintain and enhance the sound fiscal condition of the Town. To deliver quality services in an affordable, efficient, and cost-effective basis providing full value for each tax dollar. To maintain a high credit rating to ensure the Town has access to long-term debt at the most affordable cost.

Following these principles will enhance the Town’s financial health as well as its image and credibility with its citizens, the public in general, bond rating agencies, and investors. To achieve these purposes it is important to regularly engage in the process of financial planning including reaffirming and updated these financial guidelines. Policy changes will be needed as the Town continues to grow and become more diverse and complex in the services it provides, as well as the organization under which it operates to provide these services. 1. Fiscal Planning and Budgeting Policies Fiscal planning refers to the process of identifying resources and allocating those resources among numerous and complex competing purposes. The primary vehicle for this planning is the preparation, monitoring, and analysis of the Town’s budget. 1.1. The Town will adopt a balanced budget by June 30 of each year. The total of proposed expenditures shall not exceed the total of estimated income and fund balances. 1.1.1. Each year the Town Manager shall prepare and recommend to the Town Council a preliminary budget where revenues equal or exceed expenditures in the General Fund. The Town Manager may also present budget alternatives that deviate from this provision in order to accommodate circumstances that may arise in any given year. 1.2. The Town will prepare a budget in accordance with the framework established by the National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting and the Government Finance Officers Association. 1.3. The budget will be used as a fiscal control device as well as a financial and service level plan. 1.4. All departments will participate in the responsibility of meeting policy goals and ensuring long-term financial health. 1.5. Town Council and Town Management exercise budgetary control. Except as provided in this section, all budget transfers or appropriations of fund balances require the approval of the Town Council.


1.5.1. Budget transfers of fund balances assigned to Management for contingencies require the approval of the Town Manager. The Town Manager will provide the Town Council a report accounting for such transfers. 1.5.2. Budget transfers between accounts within the same department require the approval of the Town Manager or Finance Director. 1.6. The Finance Director will prepare a budget calendar no later than January of each year. 1.7. Budget development will use strategic multi-year fiscal planning, conservative revenue and expenditure forecasts. 1.8. The budget will be prepared in accordance with State Law in the format approved by the Arizona Auditor General and be consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) where possible. 1.8.1. Budgetary schedules shall be prepared to demonstrate total financial sources equal total uses for each fund. 1.8.1.1. Budgeted financial sources shall include revenues, beginning fund balances, net debt proceeds, net interfund transfers, and other inflows. 1.8.1.2. Budgeted uses shall include expenditures, ending fund balances, and other outflows. 1.8.2. All funds will use the current financial resources measurement focus and will account for budgeted revenues and expenditures under the modified accrual basis of accounting. 1.8.2.1. Revenues are recognized when they become both measurable and available. 1.8.2.2. Expenditures are recognized when they become incurred and measurable, and/or require the use of current financial resources. 1.8.2.2.1. Depreciation is not budgeted. 1.8.2.2.2. Capital purchases are budgeted as expenditures in all funds. 1.8.2.2.3. Compensated absence liabilities that become due are budgeted as expenditures in all funds. 1.8.2.2.4. Debt payments are budgeted as expenditures in all funds. 1.8.2.3. The use of the modified accrual basis of accounting for budgetary purposes in the Wastewater Enterprise Fund departs from GAAP, which prescribes the use of the full accrual basis of accounting for proprietary funds in the annual financial statements. 1.9. Alternatives for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the Town’s programs and the productivity of its employees will be considered during the budget process. Duplication of services and inefficiencies should be eliminated wherever they are identified. 1.10. The Town shall establish appropriate management controls to monitor expenditure budgets to ensure they do not exceed authorizations. 1.11. During the course of the year, the Town Manager is charged with the responsibility to take steps to reduce expenditures or increase revenues to the extent necessary to ensure that actual changes to fund balances in the General Fund are no lower than that planned for in the budget at the close of the fiscal year. The Town Manager may institute a cessation during the fiscal year on hirings, promotions, transfers, and capital equipment purchases. Such action will only occur after sending the Town Council notice of such actions. 1.12. The Town will avoid budgetary and accounting procedures which balance the current budget at the expense of future budgets. 2. Revenue Policies Because revenues are sensitive to both local and regional economic conditions, revenue estimates should be conservative.


2.1. Staff will estimate annual revenues by an objective, analytical process utilizing trend, judgmental, and statistical analysis as appropriate. 2.2. The Town will attempt to maintain a diversified and stable revenue system in order to: 2.2.1. Decrease reliance on general taxation for discretionary but desirable programs and services and rely more on fees and charges. 2.2.2. Decrease the vulnerability of programs and services to reductions in tax revenues as a result of economic fluctuations. 2.2.3. Increase the level of self-support for new program initiatives and enhancements. 2.3. One-time revenues will be limited to the purpose for which they are intended or, to the extent possible, for one-time expenditures. 2.4. User fees and charges for services will be reviewed periodically to determine the adequacy of cost recovery. 3. Expenditure Policies Management must ensure compliance with the legally adopted budget. In addition, purchases and expenditures must comply with legal requirements and policies and procedures set forth by the Town Council. 3.1. Expenditures will be controlled by an annual appropriated budget, established by the Town Council. 3.2. Department heads are responsible for monitoring expenditures to prevent exceeding their total departmental expenditure budget. It is the responsibility of these department heads to immediately notify the Finance Director and Town Manager of any circumstances that could result in a departmental budget being exceeded. 3.3. The Town will maintain a purchasing system that provides needed commodities and services in a timely manner to avoid interruptions in the delivery of services. All purchases shall be made in accordance with the State statutes, the Town’s procurement code, purchasing policies, guidelines, and procedures. 3.4. The Town will endeavor to obtain supplies, equipment, and services that provide the best value. 3.5. The Town will make all payments within established terms. 3.6. The Arizona Constitution sets a limit on the expenditures of local jurisdictions. The Town will comply with these expenditure limitations and will submit an audited expenditure limitation report, audited financial statements, and audited reconciliation report as defined by the Uniform Expenditure Reporting System to the State Auditor General within prescribed timelines. 3.7. The Town will maintain a level of expenditures which will provide for the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the community. 3.8. The Town will maintain capital assets and infrastructure at a sufficient level to protect the Town’s investment, to minimize future replacement and maintenance costs, and to continue service levels. 4. Grants Many grants require appropriation of funds, either for the original grant or to continue programs after the grant funding has expired. The Town should review these grant programs prior to determining whether application should be made for these grant funds. 4.1. The Town shall only apply for those grants that are consistent with the objectives identified by Council. The potential for incurring ongoing costs, to include the assumption of support for grant funded positions from local revenues, will be considered prior to applying for a grant.


4.2. The Town shall attempt to recover all allowable costs—direct and indirect—associated with the administration and implementation of programs funded through grants. The Town may waive or reduce indirect costs if doing so will significantly increase the effectiveness of the grant. 4.3. The Town will maintain a system of internal controls which provide reasonable assurance of compliance with laws, regulations, and the provisions of contract and grant agreements. 4.3.1. The objectives of internal control pertaining to the compliance requirements for grant programs are as follows: 4.3.1.1. Transactions are properly recorded and accounted for to: 4.3.1.1.1. Permit the preparation of reliable financial statements and grant reports; 4.3.1.1.2. Maintain accountability over assets; and 4.3.1.1.3. Demonstrate compliance with laws, regulations, and other requirements; 4.3.2. Transactions are executed in compliance with laws, regulations, and the provisions of contracts or grant agreements that could have a direct and material effect on a grant program; and 4.3.3. Funds, property, and other assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition. 5. User Fee Cost Recovery and Indirect Cost Allocations User fees and charges are payments for voluntarily purchased, publicly provided services that benefit specific individuals. The Town relies on user fees and charges to supplement other revenue sources in order to provide public services. Indirect cost charges are assessed to recover a portion of the costs for services provided between various funds. 5.1. The Town may establish user fees and charges for certain services provided to users receiving a specific benefit. 5.2. User fees shall be reviewed periodically to calculate their full cost recovery levels, to compare them to the current fee structure, and to recommend adjustments where needed. The calculation of full cost will include all reasonable and justifiable direct and indirect cost components. 5.3. The Town shall establish a cost allocation plan to determine annually the administrative service charges due to the appropriate cost centers. Where appropriate, funds shall pay these indirect cost charges for services provided by another fund. 6. Cash Management and Investment Cash management includes the activities undertaken to ensure maximum cash availability and maximum investment yield on a government’s idle cash, and the cash collection function. 6.1. The Town shall maintain and comply with a written investment policy that has been approved by the Town Council. The investment policy will emphasize safety and liquidity before yield. 6.2. The Town will collect, deposit, and disburse all funds on a schedule that insures optimum cash availability for investment. 6.3. In order to maximize yields from its overall portfolio, the Town will consolidate cash balances from various funds for investment purposes, and will allocate investment earnings to each participating fund. 6.4. The Town will project its cash needs to optimize the efficiency of the investment and cash management program. 6.5. The Town will conduct its treasury activities with financial institutions based upon written contracts. 6.6. Ownership of the Town’s investment securities will be protected through third party custodial safekeeping.


6.7. All Town bank accounts shall be reconciled and reviewed on a monthly basis. 6.8. The Town may use short-term debt to cover temporary or emergency cash flow shortages. All shortterm borrowing will be subject to Council approval. 7. Capital Asset Accounting, Depreciation, and Replacement An effective capital asset accounting system is important in managing the Town’s capital asset investment. 7.1. The Town will maintain a capital assets system for assets with values of $5,000 or more. All items less than $5,000 will be recorded as operating expenditures. 7.2. Annual budgets including reserves will provide for adequate design, construction, maintenance and replacement of Town’s capital assets in accordance with the current year of the capital improvement plan. 7.3. The Town will project equipment replacement and maintenance needs for the next five years and will update this projection each year. 7.4. The Town will ensure that depreciation expense is allocated in a systematic and rational manner to those periods expected to benefit from the use of the asset. 7.4.1. The straight-line method of depreciation, using the half-year convention, will be used for all depreciable assets. 7.4.2. The useful life of an asset will be based upon the Town’s history with said asset or similar asset type. In the absence of an adequate history, the Town will follow useful life guidelines provided by reputable organizations such as the Government Finance Officers Association. 7.5. Vehicles will be replaced on an as needed basis after consideration of safety issues and financial impacts. 7.6. An inventory of capital assets shall be performed on a periodic basis, at least every 3 years. 7.7. The Town will evaluate prominent events or changes in circumstances affecting capital assets to determine whether impairment of a capital asset has occurred and whether the assets need to be revalued in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 42. 8. Capital Improvement Plan Policies The purpose of the Capital Improvement Plan is to systematically identify, plan, schedule, finance, track and monitor capital projects to ensure cost-effectiveness as well as conformance to established policies. 8.1. The Town will make all capital improvements in accordance with an adopted and funded capital improvement plan. 8.2. The Town will develop an annual five-year plan for capital improvements, including design, development, and implementation. 8.3. Staff will identify the estimated capital costs, the estimated operating costs, potential funding sources and project schedule for each capital project proposal before it is submitted to the Council for approval. 8.4. The Town will use intergovernmental assistance and other outside resources whenever possible to fund capital improvements providing that these improvements are consistent with the capital improvement plan and Town priorities. 8.5. When current revenues or resources are available for capital improvement projects, consideration will be given first to those capital assets with the shortest useful life and/or to those capital assets whose nature makes them comparatively more difficult to finance with debt financing. Using cash for projects with shorter lives and debt for projects with longer lives facilitates “intergenerational equity”.


8.6. Staff will monitor projects in progress to insure their timely completion or the adjustment of the Capital Improvement Plan as approved by Council. A quarterly status report will be presented to the Town Council to monitor each project’s progress and to identify any significant issues. 8.7. The current year of the capital improvement plan will become the capital budget. 9. Long-Term Debt Policies The Town utilizes long-term debt to finance capital projects with long useful lives. Financing capital projects with debt provides for an “intergenerational equity”, as the actual users of the capital asset pay for its cost over time, rather than one group of users paying in advance for the costs of the asset. The purpose of this debt management policy is to provide for the preservation and eventual enhancement of the Town’s bond ratings, the maintenance of adequate debt service reserves, compliance with debt instrument covenants and provisions, and required disclosures to investors, underwriters and rating agencies. These policy guidelines will also be used when evaluating the purpose, necessity and condition under which debt will be issued. These policies are meant to supplement the legal framework of public debt laws provided by the Arizona Constitution, State statutes, federal tax laws, and the Town’s current debt resolutions and covenants. The Arizona Constitution limits a Town’s bonded debt capacity (outstanding principal) to certain percentages of the Town’s secondary assessed valuation by the type of project to be constructed. There is a limit of 20% of secondary assessed valuation for projects involving water, sewer, artificial lighting, parks, open space, recreational facility improvements, and transportation. There is a limit of 6% of secondary assessed valuation for any other general purpose project. 9.1. The overall debt management policy of the Town is to ensure that financial resources of the Town are adequate in any general economic situation to not preclude the Town’s ability to pay its debt when due. 9.2. The Town will confine long-term borrowing to capital improvements, capital acquisitions, and the refinancing of prior year long-term debt. 9.3. The life of the debt service payments will not exceed the useful life of the capital assets acquired with the debt proceeds. 9.4. Proceeds from long-term debt will not be used to fund current on-going operations. 9.5. The issuance of variable rate debt by the Town will be subject to the most careful review and will be issued only in a prudent and fiscally responsible manner. 9.6. The Town shall make every effort to combine debt issuances in order to minimize issuance costs. 9.7. The investment of bond proceeds shall at all times comply with the requirements of debt covenants. 9.8. The Town shall comply with all U.S. Internal Revenue Service arbitrage rebate requirements. 9.9. Before any new debt is issued, the impact of debt service payments on total annual fixed costs will be analyzed. 9.10. The Town will maintain a revenue-to-debt service ratio of at least 5 to 1 for its governmental activities debt. 9.11. The Town will only issue new debt if, in the Capital Infrastructure Improvement Fund, the projected net recurring funding sources exceed the estimated annual debt service expenditures in each year of the five year period covered in the Capital Improvement Plan.


10. Fund Balance Policies Fund balance is an important indicator of the Town’s financial position. Adequate fund balances must be maintained to allow the Town to continue providing services to the community. 10.1. In accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 54, fund balances will be classified in the following components: 10.1.1. Nonspendable fund balance: balances that are not in spendable form or with a requirement to maintain intact 10.1.2. Restricted fund balance: balances that have externally enforceable limitations on their use imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, constitutional limitations, or legal limitations 10.1.3. Committed fund balance: balances that have self-imposed limitations resulting from formal action taken by the Town Council 10.1.4. Assigned fund balance: balances that have limitations resulting from intended use 10.1.5. Unassigned fund balance: all residual net resources in the total fund balances not otherwise included in one of the above categories 10.2. Fund balances will be reserved to offset difficult economic times, stabilize fluctuations in cash flow requirements, and provide for emergency situations. 10.2.1. Stabilization reserves shall be established each year and be incorporated into the budget. 10.2.1.1. Each fund should maintain minimum fund balances equivalent to 25% of its adopted operating budget for the year. The General Fund minimum balance requirement shall also include any operating reserve deficiencies of other funds. 10.2.1.2. Each fund should maintain minimum fund balances equivalent to 20% of its adopted capital outlay budget, adjusted for amounts not subjecting the Town to obligation, for the year. The Capital Infrastructure Improvement Fund minimum balance requirement shall also include any capital reserve deficiencies of other funds. 10.2.2. Stabilization reserves may only be appropriated by authorization of the Town Council. A plan will be developed to adequately replenish reserves when appropriations are projected to reduce reserves below the required minimum levels. 10.3. Unassigned fund balances will be maintained to provide for unforeseen opportunities. 10.3.1. The Town desires to have a $10 million unassigned fund balance in the General Fund by the end of fiscal year 2020. Town Management shall develop a financial plan to reach this target. Until such time, any appropriations that cause this fund to decrease shall be accompanied with a plan to replenish the balance within a reasonable timeframe. 10.4. When more than one resource is available to fund outlays for a particular purpose, the most constrained source will be depleted before others sources are consumed; starting with restricted fund balances, followed by committed fund balances, assigned fund balances and lastly unassigned fund balances. 11. Enterprise Funds Government enterprises generate revenue to offset the cost of providing certain services. User charges are established to offset the cost of providing these services. The accounting systems must be established to separate these revenues and expenses. 11.1. Separate funds will be established and maintained to properly account for each enterprise operation. Enterprise funds will not be used to subsidize the operations of other funds. Inter-fund charges will be assessed for the administrative support of the enterprise activity.


11.2. The Town will establish rates and fees at levels to fully cover the total direct and indirect costs, including operations, capital outlay, unrestricted cash reserve balances, debt service, and debt coverage requirements. 12. Accounting, Auditing, and Financial Reporting Accounting, auditing, and financial reporting form the informational infrastructure for public finance. Internal and external financial reports provide important information to the Town’s legislative body, management, citizens, investors, and creditors. 12.1. The Town's accounting and financial reporting systems will be maintained in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles and standards promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. 12.2. Financial reports for each quarterly period will be submitted to the Finance and Investment Advisory Committee and the Town Council. 12.3. The Finance and Investment Advisory Committee will provide financial oversight and will recommend ways to improve processes and procedures as needed. 12.4. Relevant and comprehensive disclosure will be provided in the general financial statements and bond representations. 12.5. The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report will present the status of the Town’s finances on a basis of generally accepted accounting principles. 12.6. An annual audit will be performed by an independent public accounting firm with the subsequent issue of an official Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and Annual Expenditure Limitation Report. 12.7. The Town will develop and manage its accounting system to provide reasonable assurance regarding: 12.7.1. The safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition. 12.7.2. Reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets. 12.8. The Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports and Annual Adopted Budgets will be posted on the Town’s website and made available to the public. 12.9. The Town will participate in the Government Finance Officers Association’s award programs with the intent of receiving the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting and the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award. 13. Risk Management Risk management is involved in the identification, evaluation, and treatment of the Town’s exposure to risk. Risk management has become increasingly important in guarding against economic loss an in ensuring public safety in a time of increasing public liability and litigation. 13.1. The Town shall make diligent efforts to prevent or mitigate the loss of Town assets and to reduce the Town’s exposure to liability through training, risk financing, and the transfer of risk when cost effective. 13.2. The Town shall manage its exposure to risk through the purchase of third-party insurance for general liabilities, automotive liabilities, property losses, and workers’ compensation. 13.3. When applicable, the Town will control its exposure to risk through the use of “hold harmless” agreements in Town contracts by requiring contractors to carry liability insurance, including errors and omissions coverage for architectural, engineering, and other professional firms.


LEGAL REQUIREMENTS STATE SPENDING LIMITATION The Town of Sahuarita, like all counties and municipalities in Arizona, is subject to numerous budgetary and related legal requirements. Article 9, Section 20, (1) of the Arizona Constitution sets limits on the Town’s legal budget capacity. In general, the Town Council cannot authorize expenditures of local revenues in excess of the expenditure limitations determined annually by the Arizona Economic Estimates Commission. This limitation is based upon a calculated amount of expenditures for fiscal year 1979-80 (prior to the Town’s incorporation), adjusted to reflect subsequent inflation and population growth. Not subject to this limit are items such as bond proceeds, related debt service, interest earnings, special voter approved districts, certain highway user revenue funds, federal funds, monies received pursuant to intergovernmental agreements, and state grants which are to be used for specific purposes. The Town demonstrates compliance with these requirements by filing the audited Annual Expenditure Limitation Report with the Office of the Arizona Auditor General.

TENATIVE BUDGET PREPARATION AND PUBLICATION State law (ARS §42-17101) requires that on or before the third Monday in July of each fiscal year, the Town Council must prepare an estimate of expenditures and revenues. Town of Sahuarita refers to these estimates as the Tentative Budget. According to ARS §42-17101, this Tentative Budget must be included in the Town Council meeting minutes and, must be fully itemized in accordance with forms supplied by the Auditor General. (See the Official Budget Forms section.) ARS §42-17102 defines the contents of the estimates. The Tentative Budget and the reports include all monies used for Town purposes including interest and principal payments on bonds. ARS §42-17103 requires publication of the Tentative Budget once a week for at least two consecutive weeks. The published Tentative Budget must be accompanied by a notice of the scheduled date and time for a public hearing regarding the budget. ARS §42-17104 specifies that the Town Council shall hold a public hearing and special meeting at which any taxpayer may appear and speak for or against any proposed expenditure. This meeting is held on the date the budget is adopted. ARS §42-17105 prescribes that once the Tentative Budget has been published, expenditures may not be increased above the published amounts; however, they may be decreased. In effect, with the publication of the Tentative Budget, the Town Council has set its maximum limits for expenditures, but these limits may be reduced upon final adoption.

FINAL BUDGET ADOPTION State law (ARS §42-17105) specifies that after the hearing required by ARS §42-17104, the Town Council must adopt the estimate of proposed expenditures for the fiscal year at a special meeting called for that purpose. The adopted expenditures then become the budget for the upcoming fiscal year and shall not exceed the total amount proposed for expenditures in the published estimates (i.e., the Tentative Budget). According to ARS §42-17106, once adopted, no expenditures shall be made for a purpose not included in the budget and no expenditures shall be made in excess of the amounts specified for each purpose in the budget, except as provided by law. This restriction applies whether or not the Town has at any time received, or has on hand, funds or revenue in excess of those required to meet expenditures incurred under the budget.


BUDGET REVISIONS ARS ยง42-17106 requires that no expenditures be made for a purpose not included in the adopted budget in any fiscal year in excess of the amount specified for each purpose in the budget. ARS ยง42-17106 permits the Town Council, on the affirmation of a majority of the supervisors at a duly noticed public meeting, to authorize the transfer of funds between programs if the funds are available, if the transfer is in the public interest and based on a demonstrated need, so long as the transfer does not violate the set spending limitations.
