General Fund Expenditure – by Function

The adopted General Fund budget, divided between operating and capital, is shown below. The FY 2020-21 budget reflects a 6.3% decrease in the General Fund Operating budget primarily due to anticipated impacts of COVID-19 and a decrease in one-time funding to Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) towards the goal of paying down the unfunded liability, thereby reducing the annual employer contribution sooner. The FY 2020-21 General Fund Capital budget reflects an 18.2% decrease primarily due to the decrease of capital carryforward when compared to FY 2019-20. The combined operating and capital General Fund change over the prior fiscal year is an 8.1% decrease.

Capital Improvement Program Impact on Operating Funds

The City of Chandler prepares a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget separately from the Operating Budget; however, the two are closely linked. As part of the CIP process, departments are asked to identify those capital projects that have an impact on the operating budget. As capital projects are completed, operation and maintenance of these facilities must be funded in the operating budget. The following table reflects the projected operating expenses, by CIP area, for the proposed CIP projects. Operations and maintenance cost increases shown below are not automatically added to the budget, but reviewed as to their impact on the ongoing forecast. Requests must be submitted by the appropriate department and increases are only incorporated with Council approval as part of the annual budget approval process. Additional details on operations requirements for specific projects are available in the Proposed CIP booklet.

The City of Chandler’s continued goal is to provide the highest quality services to the community in the most cost-effective manner. The City Council sets goals to continuously improve Chandler and to make fiscally responsible decisions that make the City a regional leader with a strong plan for the future. This process is designed to address the needs and desires of the community, and includes their input received through surveys, commissions, neighborhood meetings, and contacts with individuals throughout the year.

In February 2015, the City Council established six Strategic Policy Goals identified below. Minor revisions were approved in April 2017 and February 2019. Focus areas around infill and redevelopment, innovation and technology, mobility, neighborhoods, and quality of life were added in June 2019. These Goals and Focus Areas are then tied to our Priority Based Budget (PBB) goals and objectives to allow program costs to be associated with the strategic goals they support.

The City’s PBB efforts led to the creation of the PBB “Desired Results”, which link the broad range of Department programs and services provided to the citizens of Chandler to the City Council Strategic Goals. The results have been established under the broad areas of:

• A Connected and mobile community

• A Safe community

• An Attractive community

• A Community with Sustainable economic health

• A Community that has a Contemporary culture and is unified

• A Community with Good governance

Each of these PBB results is supported by a variety of programs and services across multiple Departments which provide a tool for budget decision making. These links are indicated in each of the Department’s cost center pages.

The six strategic policy goals are designed to ensure Chandler is a great place to visit, work, play, and live by…

Being the most connected City - PBB result: Connected and mobile community • Connect our community using enhanced communication technologies to share information by increasing

electronic availability of City information. • Increase community connectivity through enhancing multimodal transportation.

Being a leader in trust and transparency – PBB result: Good governance • Provide timely and accurate data and reports to maintain accountability and provide support for effective

decision making. • Promote opportunities that encourage citizen engagement and input.

Maintaining fiscal sustainability – PBB result: Good governance • Maximize the City’s diverse portfolio of revenue sources. • Continue adherence to and improve upon fiscal policies. • Maintain strong bond rating with all three rating agencies for all types of debt. • Manage expenditure growth through periodic review of programs and services.

Attracting a range of private sector businesses - PBB result: Sustainable economic health • Position Chandler to be recognized by corporate real estate executives, site selectors, regional partners, and

the development industry as a premier location for new investment. • Coordinate and facilitate the revitalization of Downtown Chandler.

Fostering a contemporary culture that embraces unity - PBB result: Contemporary culture / Unified • Promote Chandler as an inclusive community that values its rich diversity, history, and culture. • Support diversity through City employment practices. • Invest in employees, support systems, and innovation strategies that ensure Chandler remains a leader in

the delivery of high quality services.

Being safe and beautiful - PBB results: Safe community and Attractive community • Promote a multifaceted approach to address the needs of neighborhoods from the physical, safety, and

community perspectives. • Construct and maintain sustainable public infrastructure. • Ensure Chandler remains a safe community by employing best practices.

The City of Chandler has outlined five focus areas to concentrate efforts to achieve the identified goals.

Infill and Redevelopment Strategic infill and redevelopment includes the use of creative regulatory tools and marketing efforts to ensure Chandler remains a world-class community for residents, visitors and businesses. These approaches will maintain the viability of existing developments and plan for the use of remaining unbuilt properties. PBB – Sustainable economic health and Contemporary culture / unified

Innovation and Technology Chandler’s high-tech industries and talented workforce drive the local economy and create future opportunities. The City recognizes the importance of providing solid infrastructure and streamlined government services to support the implementation of current and future technologies. PBB – Good governance, Connected and mobile community and Sustainable economic health

Mobility Mobility — the ability to go places — has been essential to Chandler’s success. Served by three major highways, a well-planned arterial street network, public transit and a growing airport, the foundation has been laid for Chandler to expand its multi-modal transportation offerings and further integrate new technologies to efficiently get people where they want to go. Mobility includes bicycling, autonomous vehicles, new transit modes, business aviation, traffic technologies and safety enhancements. PBB – Connected and mobile, Safe and Attractive community and Good governance

Neighborhoods Chandler boasts a mixture of modern homeowner associations, mature traditional neighborhoods, apartments, condominiums and other housing types. To sustain an exceptional quality of life for Chandler residents and keep Chandler safe, clean and beautiful, the preservation and enhancement of neighborhoods is paramount. Just as Chandler’s neighborhoods are diverse, so are the approaches to ensure that all neighborhoods remain safe and vibrant. Partnerships with stakeholders including engaged residents, developers and community agencies provide opportunities to achieve this goal while maintaining each neighborhood’s distinct character. PBB – Contemporary culture / unified, Safe and Attractive community

Quality of Life Chandler’s commitment to high standards has spanned generations of City leadership and resulted in the safe and beautiful community residents and businesses enjoy today. Maintaining an unparalleled quality of life includes a renewed focus on arts, culture and recreation. High quality development and amenities shape the character of our neighborhoods and business centers. Public safety is essential to our community’s quality of life. First responders protect, serve and respond to the needs of the community. PBB - Contemporary culture / unified, Safe and Attractive community

The City of Chandler’s financial policies have been developed to set standards for stewardship over financial resources. The policies institutionalize strong financial management practices, clarify the strategic intent for financial management, define boundaries, manage risks to financial condition, support good bond ratings to minimize borrowing costs, and comply with established public management best practices. The policies provide a guide for sound fiscal planning, while maintaining fiscal integrity. There are nine (9) financial policies: Operating Management; Capital Management; Reserve; Debt Management; Long-Range Financial Planning; Grant Management; Investment; Accounting, Auditing, and Financial Reporting; and Pension Funding. The policies are reviewed annually, with updates approved by City Council. Listed below are the financial policies that provide the vision, as the “Future is in Sight”, for the FY 2020-21 Budget, and continue to keep the City fiscally strong. 1. Operating Management Policy The purpose of the Operating Management Policy is to provide guidance and clarification on how the budget will be structured and developed, define the budget control system, how to amend the budget, and specific revenue and expenditure principles to ensure ongoing financial sustainability and operating practices. Key Budget Features Scope and Length of Budget Period: The budget shall be based on a fiscal year beginning July 1 through June 30, and revenue and expenditures for all funds shall be adopted annually (excluding funds maintained for financial reporting purposes only). Level of Control: The budget process shall be decentralized, allowing all Departments to provide updated revenue and expenditure amounts entered directly into an online budget system. Budgetary control shall be at the Departmental level and managed separately between the Personnel budget (5100 series of accounts) and the Operating budget (5200-8900 series of accounts). A Department cannot spend more than the budget appropriated; however, line item appropriations shall be established for each cost center (division) within each Department. Balanced Budget Definition: According to the City Charter, the total of proposed expenditures shall not exceed the total of estimated income and fund balances available. Each fund in the budget must also be in balance; total anticipated revenues plus the necessary portion of fund balance (all resources) must equal total expenditure appropriations for the upcoming fiscal year. Appropriation shall be for a specific fund and balanced based on specific funding sources, therefore savings in one fund shall not be used to cover over-expenditure in another fund. Basis of Budgeting: The City’s accounting system is maintained on the same basis as the Adopted Budget. This enables Departmental budgets to be easily monitored via accounting system reports on a monthly basis. The City’s financial records, as reported each year in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), are maintained in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). For comparison purposes, the City’s CAFR shows fund revenues and expenditures on both a budget basis and a GAAP basis in all funds for which budgets are adopted. The budgets for general governmental fund types, (i.e., General Fund, Special Revenue, Capital Projects, and Expendable Trust) are prepared on a modified accrual basis, which is a mixture of the cash and accrual basis. This basis is consistent with GAAP except for the following:

a. Compensated absences are recorded as expenditures when paid (cash basis) as opposed to a liability that is expected to be liquidated from available financial resources as earned and accrued by employees (GAAP basis).

b. Sales tax and grant revenue are recorded on the basis of cash collected (cash basis) as opposed to the accrual basis (GAAP basis) whereby amounts are recorded to the period the revenue was earned.

c. Capital outlays for Enterprise funds are recorded as expenses (cash basis) as opposed to fixed assets (GAAP basis).

Financial Policies

City of Chandler


26

d. Principal payments on long-term debt are recorded as expenses (cash basis) as opposed to a reduction of a liability (GAAP basis).

e. Proceeds from the sale of bonds and utility system development fee revenues are recognized as revenue when received (cash basis) as opposed to a reduction of a liability and an increase in contributed capital (GAAP basis).

f. No depreciation is budgeted (on a cash basis for any fund) as opposed to depreciation expense recorded in financial statements (GAAP basis).

The budgets for Proprietary fund types such as the City's Enterprise (water, wastewater, reclaimed water, reverse osmosis, solid waste, and airport), Internal Service, Fiduciary, and Permanent Trust funds are budgeted and reported on a full accrual basis of accounting. Under the full accrual basis, expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, and revenues are recognized when they are obligated to the City (for example, water user fees are recognized as revenue when bills are produced, not when the cash is received). All operating and capital expenditures (except depreciation) are identified in the budgeting process because of the need for appropriation authority. Cost Allocation: Costs incurred in the General Fund to support the operations of the Enterprise funds (water, wastewater, reclaimed water, reverse osmosis, solid waste and airport) will be recovered through an indirect cost allocation. The indirect cost allocation plan will be reviewed annually and costing adjustments made after approval of the City Manager or Designee. Long-Term Financial Forecasts: Forecasts will be prepared annually covering a ten year period and considered during budget development. Performance Measurement: Each Department will establish goals and objectives and create and track performance measurements to assure the goals and objectives are achieved in an efficient and effective manner. Performance measures may be eliminated if approved by the Department Director. Budget Principles and Process Budget Links to Strategic Financial Plans: The City’s annual budget will be developed in accordance with the policies and priorities set forth in the Council Strategic Goals, the needs of the community, and local, federal and state laws. Examination of Spending Patterns: The City will seek to maximize the value the public receives through its spending by critically examining existing spending patterns to make sure they continue to provide value, and if not, reallocate to services that do. Prioritizing Services: The Priority Based Budgeting (PBB) results will be used annually to prioritize City services based on City Council’s long-term desired results. Costs of City services will be updated every three years. All Department needs (decision package requests), will be weighed taking into account PBB results and other information based on available City resources within projected fiscal constraints. All requests must be fully justified to show that they will maintain or enhance service delivery or support new programs. Additions to Department budgets outside of the annual budget process are discouraged and only approved by the City Manager’s office in unique circumstances or by Mayor and Council when required by City Code. Funding Liabilities: The current portion of long-term liabilities (i.e., capital infrastructure, annual costs of maintaining and replacing capital assets, contributions to employee pensions), at a minimum, should be funded in the annual budget so as to maintain the trust of creditors and ensure a manageable payment plan. Budget Process: The budget will be developed following a detailed calendar to ensure timely preparation and execution, provide opportunities for citizen participation at different points, follow State law and City Charter, and be summarized within a budget document to clearly communicate policy decisions. Budget Control System Modified Expenditure Control Budgeting (MECB): MECB will be utilized in order to encourage cost effectiveness while providing quality services to Chandler citizens. MECB assumes existing service levels will be maintained and new or

City of Chandler


27

enhanced programs require an ongoing source of funding before initiation. The use of MECB supports the following basic philosophies:

a. Department management is expected to manage wisely and to look for effective and efficient ways to deliver quality services to our citizens while meeting the goals of Council; and

b. Department management can find ways to do things more efficiently if given the freedom to innovate and control their own resources.

Base Budget Method: The base budget method will be utilized for ongoing Operations and Maintenance (O&M) appropriation. Departments shall be allocated the prior year's base budget to support all ongoing operations, but may request supplemental funding through a decision package. Requests approved in the Adopted Budget shall be incorporated into Department’s base budgets. Departments develop their own expenditure line item budgets; however, exceptions exist for certain citywide expenditure line items and can only be spent for the specified purpose (department fleet, equipment and technology replacement transfers out, and fuel). Under the MECB philosophy, Departments may request to carryforward savings achieved in their Base Budget operating accounts to the next year, with justification, through a request to the City Manager. Funds available for carryforward will exclude the above noted exceptions. The City will use an Encumbrance Accounting System whereby budgeted funds are committed and no longer available for spending when a purchase order is approved in the financial system. Encumbered funds will be carried forward to the next budget year if not spent by year end. Personnel Services Budgeting: All personnel costs are funded outside of the base budgets, and any personnel savings accumulated remain in their original fund. The Budget Division develops all personnel services budgets based on full funding of all approved positions. If revenues are available during the budget process, positions may be added to maintain or enhance service levels after City Manager review and City Council approval. Additions outside of the budget process are discouraged and only approved by the City Manager’s Office in unique circumstances. Overspending of overtime and temporary budgets must be funded from base budgets if not directly related to a vacancy. Budget Resolution Transfer Authority: The Adopted Budget Resolution for each fiscal year gives authority to the City Manager or his/her designee regarding transfers to/from departments of non-departmental encumbrance, carryforward, lump sum agreements, fuel and utility reserves, non-departmental personnel, department operations and maintenance savings, Information Technology telecommunications appropriation, undetermined grants, and grant matching funds. Budget Expenditure Limitation: State Expenditure Limitation options, the level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount, will be reviewed and implemented as required by State statute to ensure the best approach for the City. The City of Chandler currently falls under the Home Rule Option: Under the Home Rule Option, the expenditure limitation is free from any ties to the State imposed expenditure limitation if the majority of the qualified electors vote in favor of this alternative. On August 28, 2018, the City of Chandler voters approved to continue under Home Rule for four years. Chandler adopts its expenditure limitation along with the annual budget. The maximum legal expenditure limit is the total of all departmental appropriations in the final budget adopted by the City Council. The City’s next Home Rule election will be in 2022. Budget Amendments In accordance with the City’s Alternative Expenditure Limitation, total expenditures may not exceed the final appropriation once the budget is adopted. The City can amend the total appropriation for an individual fund; however, if one fund’s total appropriation is increased, another fund must be decreased by an equal amount. Amendments moving budget appropriation between departments may be processed at any time during the fiscal year upon written request by the City Manager to the City Council (Section 5.08, City of Chandler Charter). Organizational

changes resulting in appropriation shifts between departments should be timed for the start of a new budget year, whenever possible. Revenue and Expenditure Principles One-time expenses will be funded from one-time balances/revenues and ongoing expenses will be funded by ongoing revenues, except as provided by the budget stabilization reserve as described in the Reserve Policy. Fund balances are non-recurring revenue, and will be appropriately used for one-time expenditures or budgeted as contingency fund appropriations. Revenues: The City strives to ensure diversification and stabilization of its revenue base. Revenue projections will be based on historical trends by developing base lines for ongoing types of revenues versus one-time. Projections used to balance revenues to expenditures will be prepared for a five to ten-year period and updated annually to ensure financial sustainability. A revenue manual will be maintained to document important characteristics and historical background of each revenue source. Conservative but realistic revenue projections will be prepared to assess the limits of budget appropriation using trend analysis and current data to minimize estimating too high, which could result in mid-fiscal year budget cuts. User fees and charges will be periodically analyzed and updated to ensure that all direct and indirect costs are recovered for services benefiting individuals/groups (unless an economic disadvantage is caused) versus a larger public benefit. Utility rate consultant studies will be performed at a minimum every four years, and internal rate analyses will be completed every year for Water, Wastewater, Reclaimed Water, and Solid Waste funds based on ten-year projections. Reviews will ensure fees are adequate to fund operations, debt service, bond covenants, and reserves. Additionally, periodic reviews of the rate design and cost of service between customer classes will be completed. The City will vigilantly pursue outstanding collections through revenue collectors, and periodic Transaction Privilege Tax audits will be performed on businesses to ensure compliance with City tax code. Education will always be a part of taxpayer interactions to protect this major revenue source. Expenditures: The City will commit to a level of expenditures sufficient to ensure the ongoing health, safety, and welfare of citizens. Departments are encouraged to periodically review operations for efficiencies and reallocate existing expenditure appropriation before requesting new funding. Personnel expenditures, the largest operating cost, will be appropriated based on full funding of all approved positions, but a vacancy saving percentage will be determined based on past trends and will reduce the ongoing personnel services budget for forecasting purposes in the General Fund, shifting the amount to one-time funding. Vacant public safety sworn positions will be budgeted at bottom of range and all other general positions will be budgeted at mid-range. Employee benefits expenditures (i.e., pensions, health, workers’ compensation) will be appropriated at levels to ensure adequate funding to remain current and maintain appropriate reserves if self-insured. Compensation packages will be reviewed periodically to ensure they are sufficient to attract and retain quality employees.

2. Capital Management Policy The purpose of the Capital Management Policy is to provide guidance on capital planning, budgeting, and management to ensure well maintained infrastructure, allowing Chandler to provide quality services, and maintain economic vitality and quality of life in a financial sustainability manner. Timing and Scope: The City Charter requires a minimum of a five-year CIP to be developed annually and submitted to Council on or before the fifteenth day of June (Section 5.07, City of Chandler Charter). The City develops a ten-year plan, exceeding the minimum requirements. The Council shall adopt the CIP on the same date as the final adoption of the Annual Budget. The first year of the adopted capital plan, along with any estimated prior year unspent CIP projects, will be the capital budget for that fiscal year. CIP projects shall be over $50,000 and include items with a useful life of 3 or more years. CIP projects may be for infrastructure, facilities, equipment, technology software/hardware, and studies to determine infrastructure needs. Project Identification and Review: Proposed CIP projects will include a detailed project description, full cost estimates (i.e., design, construction, right-of-way, land, equipment, etc.), anticipated funding sources, recommended time schedules for each improvement, reference to planning document(s) that identify the need for the investment when applicable, and the estimated operating income or cost of maintaining the facilities to be constructed (i.e., personnel, operations and maintenance). Contributions to reserves for replacement of technology, equipment, and vehicles will be incorporated into the operating cost estimate. The City’s CIP Coordination Team will serve as a central forum for cross-departmental communication regarding capital planning, identifying opportunities for efficiencies, and making a CIP recommendation to the City Manager. Project Selection: Long-term capital fund forecasts will be updated annually to assess financial feasibility of proposed CIP projects. Other considerations for project selection may be their impact on other projects, ability to fund preliminary design, maintaining existing infrastructure versus new construction, impact on operations, and alignment with planning documents (i.e., Council Goals, General Plan). CIP project funding will be evaluated for pay-as-you-go versus financing, by considering various economic factors, asset useful life, bond authorization levels, and projects nature/ability to finance. Balanced CIP: The CIP projected expenditures must equal capital resources using conservative, yet realistic revenue projections. Extensive review of the secondary property tax rate will be completed to determine bond capacity. Impacts to tax and utility rates should be clearly weighed and communicated. Capital Asset Maintenance: Maintenance and replacement of existing infrastructure and capital assets will be prioritized to keep assets in good condition and well-maintained. Replacement funds will be maintained to plan for replacement of technology, equipment, and vehicles, allowing for the monitoring of inventory, standardization, right-sizing, and cost containment. 3. Reserve Policy The purpose of the Reserve Policy is to ensure the City remains a financially stable organization by maintaining appropriate reserves. Adequate reserves position an organization to effectively plan for cash funded needs, as well as unplanned needs caused by significant economic downturns, manage the consequences of outside agency actions that may result in revenue reductions, and address unexpected emergencies, such as natural disasters, catastrophic events caused by human activity, or excessive liabilities or legal judgments against the organization. In concert with the City’s other financial policies, the City’s Reserve Policy serves as an important tool to guide the use of City resources in meeting the City’s financial commitments and provides a framework for addressing unexpected future events in a fiscally prudent manner. This policy documents the City’s approach to establishing and maintaining adequate reserves (target levels) based on consideration of risks to operations, in the budgetary fund balance across a spectrum of City operations in various funds. The budgetary fund balance represents the one-time amount accumulated from prior years, which is different than the fund balance under GAAP, but includes the same constraints on spending.

City of Chandler

Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54 defines five reserve classifications of fund balance based on the level of restrictions placed on the specific purposes for which amounts can be spent: nonspendable fund balance, restricted fund balance, committed fund balance, assigned fund balance, and unassigned fund balance. The last three classifications are termed Unrestricted Fund Balance since the constraint on spending is imposed by the government itself, therefore subject to this reserve policy. Additionally, contingencies and reserves can be appropriated and unappropriated, depending if the City would like the reserve to be available for spending in the current budget year or not. General Fund Reserve Policy The General Fund is the main operating fund that pays for general services provided by the City, such as public safety, parks, and library services. The General Fund accounts for all general revenues of the City and for expenditures related to the rendering of the City’s general services. The General Fund is considered to have a high level of risk to operations due to its dependence on revenue streams that are susceptible to economic downturns and revenue reduction impacts from outside agency actions. In addition, the General Fund is the main funding source when responding to unexpected events or emergencies. Consideration of potential risk and other drivers influence the targeted minimum level of total Unrestricted Fund Balance that should be maintained. The GFOA recommends no less than two months of General Fund Unrestricted Budgetary Fund Balance. The City desires to maintain a prudent level of reserves based on the revenue impacts described above and the City’s desire to maintain strong bond ratings to minimize borrowing costs. This reserve policy sets the targeted minimum level at four months of budgeted General Fund operating revenues, excluding onetime transfers in to provide stability and flexibility to respond to unexpected adversity and/or opportunities. Should the minimum reserve level fall below its target, a plan will be formulated to restore within a three year period. The Unrestricted Budgetary General Fund Balance can include the following contingency and reserve types. General Fund Contingencies/Reserves (Type/ Appropriated or Not/ GASB 54 Classification) General Fund Contingency / Appropriated / Unassigned: This Contingency will be maintained equal to 15% of General Fund operating revenues, excluding one-time transfers in. Acceptable contingency reserve uses are emergency situations, unexpected one-time opportunities, and appropriation transfers to allow spending in other funds. Use of this reserve requires Council approval unless delegated in the Budget Resolution. The 15% General Fund Contingency reserve must be replenished annually. Council Contingency / Appropriated / Unassigned: This Contingency will be created annually for use by Mayor and Council during the Council budget amendment process or during the year for initiatives identified. Budget Stabilization Reserve / Not Appropriated / Assigned: This reserve may be created to offset operating deficits that result from economic downturns and revenue reduction impacts from outside agency actions that can create adverse service impacts, allowing time to reduce spending and/or find other ongoing revenue opportunities. Council may add to the reserve from time to time but not draw from it for more than three consecutive fiscal years. Capital and Economic Development Reserves / Appropriated and/or Not Appropriated / Assigned: These reserves may be created to fund economic development opportunities, planned new and redevelopment capital projects and capital maintenance projects to sustain existing City infrastructure and minimize additional borrowing to help manage tax rate impacts. Personnel and Operating Reserves / Appropriated and/or Not Appropriated / Assigned: These reserves may be created to fund specific operating expenditure areas that are susceptible to economic fluctuations and to fund personnel costs that can be reasonably estimated and are short-term in nature.

Other Fund Reserve Policies Other funds have been identified as needing reserves due to one or more of the following reasons: self-supporting nature, the potential for unanticipated revenue or expense changes that can negatively affect operations, to help maintain a stable fee structure, or to cover the potential of unanticipated events threatening the public health, safety, or welfare. Reserves have been created in Enterprise Operating Funds (i.e., Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, and Airport), Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF), Self Insurance Funds, and Replacement Funds (i.e., Vehicle and Technology). Targeted reserves will be maintained as described below. A portion of the reserve will be appropriated annually for each applicable fund to provide for unanticipated revenue shortfalls and/or unexpected expense increases in the current year. Reserves should only be utilized after all other budget sources have been examined for available funds. Should the minimum target level for any of the funds identified fall below its target, a plan will be formulated to restore within the next year, but not to exceed a three year period. Water Operating Enterprise Fund accounts for specific services funded directly by fees and charges to City Water customers. The fund is intended to be self-supporting and will maintain a minimum target reserve of 20% of operating revenues. Other Water reserves may be created when deemed appropriate (i.e., fuel, utilities, lump sum). Wastewater Operating Enterprise Fund accounts for specific services funded directly by fees and charges to City Wastewater customers. The fund is intended to be self-supporting and will maintain a minimum target reserve of 20% of operating revenues. Other Wastewater reserves may be created when deemed appropriate (i.e., fuel, utilities, lump sum). Reclaimed Water Operating Enterprise Fund accounts for specific services funded directly by fees and charges to City Reclaimed Water customers. The fund is intended to be self-supporting and will maintain a minimum target reserve of 20% of operating revenues. Other Reclaimed Water reserves may be created when deemed appropriate (i.e., fuel, utilities, lump sum). Solid Waste Operating Enterprise Fund accounts for specific services funded directly by fees and charges to City Solid Waste customers. The fund is intended to be self-supporting and will maintain a minimum target reserve of 10% of operating revenues. Other Solid Waste reserves may be created when deemed appropriate (i.e., fuel, utilities). A Landfill Post-Closure Compliance Reserve will also be maintained as required by State and Federal law. The minimum target reserve is anticipated to increase from 10% to 15%; pending Council approval in May 2020. Airport Operating Enterprise Fund accounts for specific services funded directly by fees and charges to City Airport customers. The fund is not currently intended to be self-supporting, and depends on General Fund to fund a portion of operating and capital costs; therefore a minimum target reserve is not a reasonable expectation until the Airport is determined as self-sustainable by City Council. Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF) accounts for Highway Users Tax received and spent on street and highway maintenance and construction projects. The fund will maintain a minimum target reserve of 15% of operating revenues. Other HURF reserves may be created when deemed appropriate (i.e., fuel, utilities). Self Insurance Funds Insured Liability Fund (Risk) reserve will be maintained at a level, together with purchased umbrella insurance policies, that will adequately indemnify the City’s property and liability risk. A qualified actuarial firm shall be retained on an annual basis in order to recommend an appropriate reserve level. Health Benefits Trust and Workers Compensation and Employee Liability Trust Self-Insurance Funds reserves are maintained based on the Trust documents approved by Council. Qualified actuarial firms shall be retained on an annual basis in order to recommend appropriate funding levels. The contributions to Self-Insurance Funds (i.e., Insured and Uninsured Liability Funds, Workers’ Compensation and Employee Liability Trust Fund, Health Benefits Trust Fund, Short-Term Disability Fund and Dental Fund) will be reassessed annually and incorporated into the budget process, in order to ensure that the targeted goal is met in a manner that is balanced with other budget priorities.

Vehicle Replacement Fund will maintain a minimum target reserve of 10% of the total City fleet replacement value. A fleet management vehicle replacement plan will be reviewed annually by the Fleet Advisory Committee to ensure systematic replacement of vehicles based on a combination of miles driven, repairs and maintenance schedules, and years of service. Technology Replacement Fund will maintain a minimum target reserve of 10% of the total City technology asset replacement value. 4. Debt Management Policy The purpose of the Debt Management Policy is to provide guidelines for the issuance of bonds and other forms of indebtedness to finance necessary land acquisitions, capital construction, equipment, and other items for the City, as well as guidelines for monitoring outstanding debt. This policy will assist the City in determining appropriate uses of debt financing, establish certain debt management goals, and assist the City in maintaining, and if possible, improving its current credit ratings, while assuming a prudent level of financial risk and preserving the City's flexibility to finance future capital programs and requirements. Scope This policy shall govern, except as otherwise covered by federal and state regulations, City Charter, and City Code, the issuance and management of all debt and lease financings funded in the capital markets. While adherence to this policy is desired, changes in the capital markets as well as unforeseen circumstances may from time to time produce situations that are not covered by the policy and may require modifications or exceptions to achieve City goals. The City's Debt Management Policy shall be reviewed annually. Debt Issuance Process Assessing Financing Needs for Capital Programs: The determination of how much indebtedness the City can afford begins by assessing the sufficiency of future revenues to fund the 10-year CIP. Factors such as debt service coverage requirements outlined in the bond indentures, the impact on businesses and citizens, tax rates, user fees, voter authorization, and any impact on the bond ratings will be carefully considered. Approval of Issuance: The bond sale amount will be determined based on financial cash flow projections, will comply with federal, state, and local legal requirements, and will obtain issuance approval from City Council. Method of Sale: Three methods of sale for issuing debt obligations will be considered; competitive sale, negotiated sale, and private placement. Each type of bond sale has the potential to provide the lowest cost given the right market conditions. The method of sale that is most advantageous to the City will be determined under consultation with the City’s Financial Advisor. Financial Service Providers: The City's Management Services Director shall be responsible for establishing a solicitation and selection process that complies with City Code requirements for securing professional services (i.e., bond counsel, financial advisor, arbitrage compliance specialist, underwriters) that are required to develop and implement the City's debt program. Credit Ratings: Staff will assess the importance of credit ratings for each new debt. If credit ratings are to be obtained, the goal will be to maintain or improve ratings from all 3 rating agencies. Limitations on City Indebtedness Debt Coverage Goals: Utility rates will be set, as a minimum, to ensure the rates of revenue to debt service meet bond indenture requirements of 1.2 times coverage (ongoing system revenues will cover ongoing debt at 120%) to comply with existing Water/Wastewater Revenue Debt Covenants. The goal will be from 1.5 to 2 times coverage to allow for fluctuations in revenue collection and to achieve the highest credit rating when bonds are sold. Excise Tax revenue will be greater than 3 times (the goal will be over 5 times) the amount of debt service outstanding to meet Excise Tax Revenue Obligations debt coverage requirements.

City of Chandler


33

Target Limitation on GO Debt: State Statutes limit the amount of GO debt that a municipality can have outstanding. In general, the City's outstanding GO debt for the water, wastewater, parks, public safety, transportation, and street lighting programs is limited to 20% of the City's net assessed LPV and for all other programs the amount of outstanding GO debt is limited to 6% of the City's LPV. Other factors, such as providing capacity for future programs will also be taken into consideration. Target Limitations on the Issuance of Revenue/Excise Tax Secured Debt Obligations: The City shall seek to finance the capital needs of its revenue producing enterprise activities through the issuance of revenue secured or excise tax secured debt obligations. Prior to issuing revenue-secured debt obligations, financial plans will be updated and reviewed to determine required rates and charges needed to support the planned financing, and the impact on rate payers and other affected parties. The amount of revenue-secured debt obligations issued by the City will be limited by the feasibility of the overall financing. Revenue-secured debt levels shall be limited by coverage and parity covenants and potential credit rating impacts. Target Limitation on Lease-Purchase Financing: The City may enter into short-term lease-purchase obligations to finance the acquisition of capital equipment with estimated useful lives of less than seven years. Repayment of these lease-purchase obligations shall occur over a period not to exceed the useful life of the underlying asset. The Management Services Department shall be responsible for developing procedures for use by City departments interested in participating in the lease-purchase program, and for setting repayment terms and amortization schedules, in consultation with participating departments. Improvement District Debt: The City may issue Improvement District debt only when there is a general City benefit. Improvement Districts are generally formed only by property owners in a designated area within the City in which they agree to be assessed for the repayment of the costs of constructing improvements that benefit the owner’s property. Improvement District debt is secured by a lien on the property and improvements of all parcels within each district. Each Improvement District financing must be closely evaluated since it is also secured by the General fund and is viewed by the credit rating agencies as an indirect debt of the City. Variable Rate Debt: The City shall not issue Variable Rate Debt. Voter Authorized Debt Voter authorized debt shall be used, but non-voter authorized debt (i.e., Municipal Property Corporation (MPC), Excise Tax Revenue Obligations (ETROs)) may be used when dedicated revenue sources (i.e., Water and Wastewater user fees) other than secondary property taxes can be identified to pay debt service expenses and the following conditions are considered:

a. A project requires additional funds over and above what is available from other sources and meets the City’s goals and objectives.

b. Emergency situations, such as an unfunded mandate or circumstance affecting the public health and welfare.

c. The project will generate a positive net revenue position (i.e., revenues will exceed the cost of financing). Debt Management Process Debt Service Structure: The Management Services Director will carefully consider the debt service structure for each bond issue. Factors such as the flow of revenues available for a particular credit, the need to fill in gaps created by refunding specific principal maturities or to structure savings from a refunding in a particular year will be considered. Accelerated repayment may be considered within the bonding capacity constraints to provide capacity for future capital programs. Bonds will be amortized over a period of time not to exceed the useful life of the assets being financed. Maturity: The final maturity of a bond sale shall be equal to or less than the remaining useful life of the assets being financed, and the average life of the financing shall not exceed 120% of the average useful life of the assets being financed.

Investment of Bond Proceeds: The City shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and indenture restrictions, if any, regarding the use and investment of bond proceeds. This includes compliance with any restrictions on the types of investment securities allowed, restrictions on the allowable yield of invested funds, as well as restrictions on the time period over which some bond proceeds may be invested. The Management Services Director, or his/her designee, will direct the investment of bond proceeds in accordance with the permitted investments for each particular bond issue. Investments such as guaranteed investment contracts may be considered when their use is in the best interest of the City and will be selected on a competitive basis. Refunding Bonds: Refunding bonds are issued to retire all or a portion of an outstanding bond issue. Most typically this is done to refinance at a lower interest rate to reduce debt service. Alternatively, some refundings are executed for reasons other than to achieve cost savings, such as to restructure the repayment schedule of the debt, to change the type of debt instruments being used, or to retire an indenture in order to remove undesirable covenants. A present value analysis must be prepared that identifies the economic effects of any potential refunding. For refunding transactions solely undertaken to achieve cost savings, the target savings amount shall be measured using the present value savings as percentage of par method. The target present value savings from any particular refunding candidate shall generally be at least 3% of the refunded par amount net of all transaction expenses and in excess of $1,000,000. The Management Services Director shall have discretion in making the final determination to include individual refunding candidates that are slightly below the target in order to optimize the City's financial objectives. Arbitrage Rebate: The City shall comply with all arbitrage rebate requirements as established by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and establish a system of record keeping and reporting to meet the arbitrage rebate compliance requirements of the federal tax code. This effort shall include tracking project expenditures financed with bond proceeds, tracking investment earnings on bond proceeds, calculating rebate payments in compliance with tax law, and remitting any rebatable earnings to the federal government in a timely manner in order to preserve the tax exempt status of the City’s outstanding tax-exempt debt issues. Arbitrage service providers may be used to assist the City with complying with arbitrage regulations. Issuance & Post-Issuance Compliance Procedures: Adopted procedures for tax-exempt bonds shall be followed. Staff will work closely with the City’s Bond Counsel, Financial Advisor, and Arbitrage Compliance Specialist to ensure tax exempt bonds remain in compliance with federal tax requirements from the time they are issued until they are no longer outstanding. Continuing Disclosure Undertaking (CDU): The City will comply with the requirements of Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), when applicable. The Management Services Director, or his/her designee, will be responsible for filing the annual requirements and any Material Event Notices with Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) as required by each outstanding CDU Certification. Declaration of Official Intent: In order to ensure debt can be issued to reimburse the City for project expenses prior to issuing debt, a Declaration of Official Intent (under Treasury Regulation Section 1.150-2) must be completed annually and filed with the City Clerk. The Declaration shall list all projects for the upcoming fiscal year. This will allow the City to reimburse certain capital expenses with the proceeds from tax-exempt reimbursement bonds, should such bonds be sold in the upcoming fiscal year. 5. Long-Range Financial Planning Policy The purpose of the Long-Range Financial Planning Policy is to establish a consistent practice for financial planning that result in stable tax rates and services to the community over a multi-year period. Timing and Scope: In preparation for both the Capital Improvement Program and the Annual Budget, long-term financial forecasting models will be updated to analyze the impact of budget decisions on the City’s future financial condition. The financial plans will forecast revenues, expenditures, debt, long-term liabilities, reserve levels when applicable, and financial position for ten years into the future for the General Fund, Enterprise Funds, Capital and Operating Funds.

City of Chandler


35

Principles: The financial plans will start with a baseline assumption that current service levels will be maintained and include meaningful analysis of ongoing and one-time trends and conditions to allow consideration of long-term financial implications of current spending patterns. If future issues are identified through long-term financial planning, possible solutions should be identified and discussed, with the ultimate goal of structurally balanced plans (ongoing revenues support ongoing expenditures) that supports fiscal sustainability for many years into the future. 6. Grant Management Policy The purpose of the Grant Management Policy is to ensure grant oversight to support creativity and innovation in identifying and addressing existing and desired City program or partnership needs that cannot be resolved with existing resources, but may be suitable areas for seeking grant funds. The policy sets standards for the consistent acquisition and administration of grants and applies to all grants provided to or facilitated by City departments (federal, state, county, local, corporate, Indian community, and private foundation). Grant support is encouraged unless the prospective grant conflicts with the City’s strategic goals, generates more cost than benefit, or restricts the mission of the City. Grant Identification, Evaluation and Application

Once potential grants have been identified and prior to the submittal of a grant application to an agency or acceptance of funds from an organization, the Department should give consideration as to whether the grant is consistent with the City’s Strategic and Department Goals, and a funding evaluation should be completed to determine the effect of the grant on the current and future City resources or operations. Factors to consider are:

a. Available funding for required grant matches (i.e., the City’s portion of project costs or in-kind costs) b. Current and future year(s) budget implications (i.e., added positions, equipment) c. Capacity and experience of the Department and staff to effectively administer and implement all aspects of the

grant. Grant Approval, Administration, and Operational Oversight To ensure transparent management of grants, grants valued with City resource commitments that exceed $30,000, or any amount if required by law or the grant agreement, require City Council approval prior to acceptance of funds or upon submittal if award signifies acceptance. Grants do not require City Council approval if governed by another authority (i.e., Public Housing Authority Commission). Transportation capital grants that require a rapid response to prevent forfeiting the grant may be approved by the City Manager or designee, prior to Council approval of capital project funded by said grant. The City Council item should include the grant’s purpose, term and amount, as well as current and future year budget or operational implications, during and after the grant is completed. City Manager or designee is authorized to approve and execute documents related to grants with a gross value of $30,000 or less, unless the grant agreement specifically requires City Council approval. If an approved grant requires an ongoing General Fund commitment from the City, it will be incorporated into the forecast to ensure expenditures can be supported when the grant expires. If the position funding is only for the life of the grant, the expenditures shall be budgeted from one-time funding. The City of Chandler’s City Code and Administrative Regulations related to procurement shall be utilized for the purchase of materials, services, and construction with grant funds, in conjunction with any procurement requirements stipulated in the grant requirements. The City’s Grant Committee shall be made up of Department Grant Liaisons, and will provide grant management guidance and oversight to ensure adherence to the Grant Management Policy. The Committee will serve as a central source for cross-departmental communications regarding the pursuit of grants and effective application of administrative procedures.

City of Chandler


36

Department Directors shall ensure compliance with all grant requirements through ongoing administrative and operational support (i.e., trained staff resources, financial and/or program reporting, subcontractor monitoring of activities and/or performance, pass-thru monitoring, audit compliance by grantor and/or by external auditors, record retention, and any additional requirements detailed in the Grant award documentation such as federal circulars related to federal grants). 7. Investment Policy The purpose of the Investment Policy is to ensure investment of cash funds will be maintained in accordance with City Charter and State Statutes by defining the parameters within which public funds are to be managed. In methods, procedures and practices, the policy formalizes the framework for the City’s investment activities that must be exercised to ensure effective and judicious fiscal and investment management of the City’s funds. The guidelines are intended to be broad enough to allow the Management Services Director to function properly within the parameters of responsibility and authority, yet specific enough to adequately safeguard the investment assets. Scope This investment policy applies to all monies invested by the City pursuant to Section 3-2 of the City Code, and applies to those investments authorized by the Code and Arizona Revised Statute (A.R.S) 35-323. Bond proceeds are governed by specific indentures and are excluded from the scope of this Policy. Objectives The primary objectives, in order of priority, of the City’s investment activities shall be:

a. Safety - Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment programs. Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure preservation of principal in the overall portfolio.

b. Liquidity - The investments will remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that might be reasonably anticipated.

c. Return on Investment - The investment pools and funds shall be managed with the objective of attaining the maximum rate of return given the constraints of the aforementioned safety and liquidity objectives.

Standards of Care Prudence: The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the “prudent person” standard and shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio. Management Services Director and designees acting in accordance with procedures and this investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal liability for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments. The “prudent person” standard states that, “Investments shall be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probably income to be derived.” Ethics and Conflicts of Interest: Employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Employees and investment officials shall disclose any material interests in financial institutions with which they conduct business. Disclosure shall be made to the governing body. They shall further disclose any personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the investment portfolio. Employees and officers shall refrain from undertaking any personal investment transactions with the same individual with whom business is conducted on behalf of the City. Delegation of Authority and Responsibilities: Responsibility for the operation of the investment program is hereby delegated to the Management Services Director who shall act in accordance with established procedures and internal controls for the operation of the investment program consistent with this Investment Policy. All participants in the

City of Chandler


37

investment process shall seek to act responsibly as custodians of the public trust. No officer or designee may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and supporting procedures. The City may engage the services of an external investment manager to assist in the management of the City’s investment portfolio in a manner consistent with the City’s objectives. Such external managers may be granted discretion to purchase and sell investment securities in accordance with this Investment Policy. Such managers must be registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Permitted Investment Instruments The City shall invest and reinvest City monies as provided in statute and City Code in any of the following items. Obligations issued or guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America. Obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States or any of the senior debt of its agencies, sponsored agencies, corporations, sponsored corporations, or instrumentalities. Bonds or other evidences of indebtedness of this state or any of the counties or incorporated cities, towns or duly organized school districts which carry as a minimum AA rating or its equivalent by an nationally recognized statistical ratings organization (NRSRO). Commercial paper of prime quality that is rated within the top two ratings by a NRSRO. All commercial paper must be issued by a corporation organized and doing business in the United States. The portfolio is limited to a maximum 30% allocation in the commercial paper sector. Bonds, notes or evidences of indebtedness of any county, municipal district, municipal utility or special taxing district of any state that are payable from revenues, earnings or a special tax specifically pledged for the payment of the principal and interest on the obligations, and for the payment of which a lawful sinking fund or reserve fund has been established and is being maintained, but only if no default in payment on principal or interest on the obligations to be purchased has occurred within five years of the date of the investment, or, if such obligations were issued less than five years before the date of investment, no default in payment of principal or interest has occurred on the obligations to be purchased nor any other obligations of the issuer within five years of the investment. Bonds, notes or evidences of indebtedness issued by any county improvement district or municipal improvement district of any state to finance local improvements authorized by law, if the principal and interest of the obligations are payable from assessments on real property within the improvement district. An investment shall not be made if:

a. The face value of all such obligations, and similar obligations outstanding, exceeds fifty percent of the market value of the real property, and if improvements on which the bonds or the assessments for the payment of principal and interest on the bonds are liens inferior only to the liens for general ad valorem taxes.

b. A default in payment of principal or interest on the obligations to be purchased has occurred within five years of the date of investment, or, if the obligations were issued less than five years before the date of investment, a default in the payment of principal or interest has occurred on the obligations to be purchased or on any other obligation of the issuer within five years of the investment.

City of Chandler


38

Bonds, debentures, notes, or other evidences of indebtedness that are denominated in United States dollars and that carry at a minimum an “A” or better rating, at the time of purchase, from at least two nationally recognized rating agencies and may be issued by corporations that are organized and doing business in the United States. The portfolio is limited to a maximum 30% allocation in the medium-term corporate note sector. Participation in the Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP) established pursuant to Section 35-326, Arizona Revised Statutes and operated by the State Treasurer whose portfolio is consistent with this policy. Securities of or any other interests in any open-end or closed-end management type investment company or investment trust, including exchange traded funds whose underlying investments are invested in securities allowed by state law, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Investment Parameters Diversification: It is the policy of the City to diversify the investment portfolio so as to protect City monies from material losses due to over-concentration of assets in a specific maturity, a specific issuer, a specific geographical distribution, or a specific class of securities. No more than five percent (5%) of market value of the portfolio shall be invested in securities issued by a single corporation and its subsidiaries/affiliates or municipality. Securities issued by the federal government or its agencies, sponsored agencies, corporations, sponsored corporations, or instrumentalities are exempted from this provision. Portfolio percentage is calculated at the time of purchase. Maximum Maturities: To the extent possible, the City shall attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. The City will not directly invest in securities maturing more than five (5) years from the date of purchase. Because of inherent difficulties in accurately forecasting cash flow requirements, a portion of the portfolio should be continuously invested in readily available funds such as LGIP or money market funds to ensure that appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet ongoing obligations. Portfolio Management Following the primary objective of preservation of capital, investments shall be managed to take advantage of market opportunities. In so doing, negotiable securities may be sold prior to their maturity to provide liquid funds as needed for cash flow purposes to enhance portfolio returns, or to restructure maturities to increase yield and/or decrease risk. Purchases and Sales of Securities All trades shall be executed with the objective of realizing the best bid or offer price available. It is the responsibility of the investment personnel and external investment advisors to know the “market price” or relative value of all securities before trades are executed. The method used by the investment personnel and investment advisors shall be the one that will obtain the best execution price or value given the objective of the transaction. A minimum of three (3) bids will be solicited for all transactions.

Credit Quality – The measurement of the financial strength of a bond issuer. This measurement helps an investor to understand an issuer’s ability to make timely interest payments and repay the loan principal upon maturity. Generally, the higher the credit quality of a bond issuer, the lower the interest rate paid by the issuer because the risk of default is lower. Credit quality ratings are provided by nationally recognized rating agencies. Credit Ratings Scales – Credit quality comparison of short term and long term ratings are as follows:

Rating Standard & Poor’s Moody’s Fitch Short Term A-1+ A-1 P-1 F-1+ F-1 Long Term AAA -A- A+-A- Aaa-A3 AAA-A- A+-A-

Accounting, Auditing, and Financial Reporting Policy The purpose of this Accounting, Auditing, and Financial Reporting Policy is to set guidelines on how the City will account for its financial resources and be accountable for making financial information available to the public. Accounting and Internal Control The City’s accounting and financial reporting systems will be maintained in conformance with GAAP, standards of the GASB, and the GFOA. Financial systems will be maintained to monitor operating and capital revenues, expenditures, and program performance on an ongoing basis. The City will maintain a system of internal control to safeguard its assets against loss, check the accuracy and reliability of its accounting data, promote operational efficiency, and encourage adherence to prescribed managerial policies. Independent Audit An annual audit (Section 5.10, City of Chandler Charter) of the City will be performed by an independent public accounting firm with an audit opinion to be included in the City’s published CAFR. An electronic copy of the CAFR will be posted online in compliance with State statues. Annual audits will also be performed by an independent public accounting firm for the Health Care Benefits Self-Insurance Trust Fund (City Code, Section 2-15.1(d)) and the Workers’ Compensation and Employer Liability Self-Insurance Trust Fund (City Code, Section 2-16.1(d)). Financial Reporting External Financial Reporting: As an additional independent confirmation of the quality of the City’s financial reporting, the City will annually seek to obtain the GFOA Certification of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting. The CAFR, in conformity with GAAP, will be presented in a way designed to effectively communicate with citizens about the financial affairs of the City. As an additional independent confirmation of the quality of the City’s budget document, the City will annually seek to obtain the GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation Award. The budget will satisfy criteria as a financial and programmatic policy document, a comprehensive financial plan, an operations guide for all organizational units, and a communication device. The Adopted Budget and Auditor General Budget forms will be posted online in compliance with State statues. Internal Financial Reporting: Monthly (General fund) and Quarterly (major funds) budget to actual financial reports will be presented to the City Council throughout the Fiscal Year. Such reports will enable the City Council to be constantly informed of the financial status of the City. These reports will be available online for viewing by citizens as well. 9. Pension Funding Policy (Updated with FY 2020-21 proposed plan; pending Council approval May 2020) The purpose of the Pension Funding Policy is to clearly communicate the Council’s pension funding objectives, its commitment to our employees, and the sound financial management of the City; and to comply with new statutory requirements of Laws 2018, Chapter 112, including reviewing and adopting this policy annually. The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommends the adoption of a pension funding policy that address three core elements:

City of Chandler


42

• Actuarial Cost Method – The technique used to allocate the total present value of future benefits over an employee’s working career (normal cost/service cost).

• Asset Smoothing Method – The technique used to recognize gains or losses in pension assets over some period of time so as to reduce the effects of market volatility and stabilize contributions.

• Amortization Policy – The length of time and the structure selected for increasing or decreasing contributions to systematically eliminate any unfunded actuarial accrued liability or surplus.

In addition to the three core elements identified by the GFOA, this policy also addresses the Council’s position on: • Pension Funding Goal • Funding Pension Cost Several terms are used throughout this policy:

Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) – The difference between trust assets and the estimated future cost of pensions earned by employees. The UAAL reflects the difference between actual results (interest earnings, member mortality, disability rates, etc.) and the assumptions used in previous actuarial valuations. Annual Required Contribution (ARC) – The annual amount required to pay into the pension funds, as determined through annual actuarial valuations. It is comprised of two primary components: normal pension cost (the estimated cost of pension benefits earned by employees in the current year) and amortization of UAAL (the cost needed to cover the unfunded portion of pensions earned by employees in previous years). The UAAL is collected over a period of time referred to as the amortization period. The ARC is a percentage of the current payroll. Funded Ratio – The ratio of fund assets to actuarial accrued liability. The higher the ratio, the better funded the pension, with 100% representing fully funded. Intergenerational Equity – Ensures that no generation is burdened by substantially more or less pension costs than past or future generations.

The City of Chandler’s police and fire employees who are regularly assigned hazardous duty participate in the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS). All other eligible employees are covered by the Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS).

Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) PSPRS is administered as an agent multiple-employer pension plan. An agent multiple-employer plan has two main functions: 1) to comingle assets of all plans under its administration, thus achieving economy of scale for more cost efficient investments and investing those assets for the benefit of all members under its administration, and 2) to serve as the statewide uniform administrator for the distribution of benefits. Under an agent multiple-employer plan, each agency participating in the plan has an individual trust fund reflecting that agencies’ assets and liabilities. Under this plan, all contributions are deposited to and distributions are made from that trust fund’s assets, each trust fund has its own funded ratio and contribution rate, and each trust fund has a unique annual actuarial valuation. The City of Chandler had two trust funds, one for police employees and one for fire employees. The three core elements outlined by the GFOA guidance are addressed by the statewide PSPRS board and discussed in section G of the annual individual actuarial valuations, which can be found on the PSPRS website. http://www.psprs.com/investments--financials/annual-reports Council formally accepts the assets, liabilities, and current funding ratio of the City of Chandler’s PSPRS trust funds for Tier 1 and Tier 2 members from the June 30, 2019 actuarial valuation, which are detailed below.

PSPRS Funding Goal Pensions that are less than fully funded place the cost of service provided in earlier periods (amortization of UAAL) on the current taxpayers. Fully funded pension plans are the best way to achieve taxpayer and member intergenerational equity. Most funds in PSPRS are significantly underfunded and fall well short of the goal of intergenerational equity. The Council’s PSPRS funding ratio goal is to achieve 100% (fully funded) by June 30, 2036, and reduce the annual employer contribution. Council established this goal for the following reasons:

• The PSPRS trust funds represent only the City of Chandler’s liability. • The fluctuating cost of an UAAL causes strain on the City of Chandler’s budget, affecting our ability to maintain,

enhance, or add new services in the future. • A fully funded pension is the best way to achieve taxpayer and member intergenerational equity.

Council has taken the following actions to achieve this goal:

• The City chose the 20-year amortization period instead of the 30-year one-time option, did not defer the Fields case (paid the full employer contribution rate increase in one year versus spreading over 3 years), and did not take advantage of PSPRS’s credit service model option related to the Parker case to apply toward future retirement payments when refunding excess employee contributions.

• The City pays the full estimated employer contribution at the beginning of the fiscal year versus paying the actual amount through bi-weekly payrolls, allowing PSPRS to invest at a higher rate thereby increasing the amount of interest applied towards the City’s UAAL.

• The City maintains the ARC payment from operating revenues – Council is committed to maintaining the full ARC payment (normal cost and UAAL amortization) from operating funds. The estimated combined ARC for FY 2019-20 is $18.4 million and FY 2020-21 is approximately $19.9 million and will be able to be paid from operating funds without diminishing City of Chandler services.

• The City will commit additional payments above the ARC to achieve reduced ARC payments in the future. This projected additional payment to lower long term costs may be adjusted annually based on the updated UAAL, economic environment, and available General Fund one-time funds.

o Additional payments to date total $37.5 million and include - $2.5 million in FY 2016-17, $5 million in FY 2017-18, $5 million in FY 2018-19, and $25 in FY 2019-20.

o The additional payment planned in FY 2020-21 is $15 million. The prior year’s budget compared to actual expenditures and updated UAAL will be reviewed annually and the excess payment will be adjusted accordingly.

Based on these actions, the Council’s current plan is to achieve its goal of 100% funding by June 30, 2036, make additional payments early to save ongoing costs in future years, all while meeting the timeline set forth by the PSPRS June 30, 2019 actuarial valuation.. Funding PSPRS Pension Cost It is the Council’s policy that funding of the ARC from operating revenues will be a priority during the annual budget process before other service enhancements are considered.

Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS) ASRS is administered as a cost-sharing multiple-employer pension plan. This means that all agencies statewide are part of the same trust which is administered by a single administrator. In this type of pension, the funded ratio and contribution rates are the same for all participating entities. The City of Chandler’s proportionate share comprises approximately 0.76% of the total system. The three core elements outlined by the GFOA guidance are addressed by the statewide ASRS board and discussed in appendix III of the annual actuarial valuation, which can be found on the ASRS website. https://www.azasrs.gov/content/annual-reports ASRS Funding Goal Since the ASRS trust fund is comprised of all participating agencies, there is no ability for the City of Chandler to address or influence its individual funded ratio. Funding ASRS Pension Cost It is the Council’s policy that funding of the ARC from operating revenues will be a priority during the annual budget process before other service enhancements are considered.

The City of Chandler is committed to continually identify efficiencies in operations and service delivery. The reductions and adjustments over the past several years have helped shaped a budget that is lean, but structurally sound to support programs and services required by the citizens. Each year department budgets are reviewed to determine opportunities for reductions and reallocations prior to recommending new money funding. The individual Departments are continually refining internal budgets to put financial resources in the most appropriate areas. The table below reflects existing budget reallocations in General Fund to fund identified needs.

The FY 2020-21 Proposed Budget includes requests for essential ongoing or one-time funding to either maintain service levels, cover costs for new programs, or add funding to operating budgets as a result of new capital infrastructure (completed or to be completed in FY 2020-21) through Decision Packages. The recommendations look very different than anticipated from when the process started. As the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic were not foreseen in the initial financial projections, revenues were revised and decision package recommendations adjusted accordingly by removing or reducing many. The following pages contain the FY 2020-21 Summary of Recommended Additions for the General Fund and Other Funds, followed by a brief explanation of each (table starts on next page). In order to provide Council with an overview of all the Decision Package requests, a summary is also provided that lists all requests by Department and indicates whether the request has been recommended as submitted by the Director, was recommended at a different amount or otherwise changed from what the Director requested, or was not recommended for approval. We have also indicated if the request was reduced or eliminated due to the COVID-19 impacts. Following the information on Decision Packages are various Personnel summaries and tables, including: the FY 2019-20 Position Reclassification Summary, FY 2020-21 Personnel Additions, Ongoing and One-Time Personnel Costs and Budgets by Fund, a chart reflecting the number of employees per 1,000 population, and the FY 2020-21 Personnel Full Time Equivalent.
