CAPITAL EXPENDITURE PLAN/BUDGET AND INFORMATION J=NPP=J

IMPACT OF CAPITAL EXPENDITURE BUDGET ON THE GENERAL OPERATING BUDGET The FY 15-16 Capital Expenditure Plan (as described in the Capital Expenditure Plan Policy) totals $54,257,000, which will impact the General Operating Budget Debt Service and other operating costs. The General Operating Budget provides a foundation for capital projects, supplying financial support for the significant administrative and operational time and resources needed to advance and manage those projects, even though many of these dollars are not directly or easily identified in the General Fund line items. Capital expenditures do have a direct and visible impact on Debt Service in the operating budget, which has been steadily declining despite the Town s prudent infrastructure maintenance. In addition, the objectives of capital projects are to not only maintain a safe and viable infrastructure and improve the quality of life for our residents, but also to reduce future operating costs through avoidance of maintenance costs and savings in efficiencies from newer technology and facilities. In the event of a significant expansion project such as the Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrade, expenditures for staffing and personnel in the operating budget could be impacted as well. While separate and distinct, the Town s operating and capital budgets complement each other in the achievement of the Town s overall goals. SUMMARY OF CAPITAL ASSETS J=NPQ=J

TOWN OF CHESHIRE DEBT POLICY The purpose of a debt policy is to establish parameters and guidance for the Town to make decisions on capital spending needs and issuance of debt as a means to fund them. This Debt Policy will be used as established guidelines only. The Town will use reasonable judgment in analyzing debt capacity and the needs of the Town. In addition this plan will identify long-range financial planning objectives and assist the Town to identify priority capital needs of the Town in a financially prudent manner. The Town will adhere to the following guidelines/objectives with respect to the issuance of debt: Not fund current operating expenditures through the issuance of debt. Strive to reduce the limit of total debt service, including debt exclusions and selfsupporting debt, to ten percent of gross expenditures. Only issue debt to finance projects that have been identified in the Town s Five Year Capital Expenditure Plan (CEP) or to fund emergency projects. Ensure that amortization of capital projects funded through the issuance of general obligation bonds will not exceed the useful life of the asset. Evaluate debt funding scenarios as part of its five year CEP process in order to prioritize projects; attempt to maintain stability in the planning and execution of the capital planning process; attempt to minimize overall tax increases in the early years and maintain level principal payments where practical. Adhere to Connecticut General Statutes limiting the amount of indebtedness the Town may have outstanding to seven times the total annual tax collections including interest and lien fees plus the reimbursement for revenue loss on tax relief programs. Ensure to the extent practicable that user fees will be set to cover the capital costs of special revenue/enterprise fund services or activities whether on a pay-as-you-go basis or through debt financing to avoid imposing a burden on the property tax levy. Comply with the requirements of Rule 15c2-12(b)(5) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission to provide annual financial information and operating data and notices of material events with respect to the Bonds pursuant to Continuing Disclosure Agreements executed at the time of issuing bonds. Maintain frequent communications about its financial condition with the credit rating agencies. As part of the Capital Expenditure Plan process, the Town will evaluate the financial impact of the CEP including but not limited to: Debt funding scenarios in order to prioritize future financing needs Mill rate impact studies so as to minimize the overall tax increases Maintaining level annual debt service payments where practical Evaluating CEP effect on debt capacity and debt ratios in comparison to those used by investors and financial analysts.

An interest rate of 4.00% was used for all bonded debt projections. (3) Projected CEP debt resulting from 5 - Year Capital Expenditure Plan (CEP) as approved by the Town Council on August 25, 2015 and referendum on November 3, 2015. For subsequent years 6-10, the 5 - Year CEP average annual projected borrowing requirement was used. An interest rate of 4.0% was used for all bonded debt projections. (4) The approved $32.15 million WPCD Upgrade and Phosphorous Treatment project debt service (excluding $1.5 million of design debt service to be paid by the WPCD budget) was estimated with 2% CWF loans on $25.0 million and grants totaling $7.15 million. For purposes of this projection, construction is projected to begin on November 1, 2013 and completed January 1, 2017. The interim funding obligation will be due on July 1, 2017. Interim funding obligation interest is accrued from the start of construction through the date of the closing. Twelve months after project completion on January 1, 2018, a twelve month principal payment is due along with six months of interest. Principal and interest projections are based on a monthly, level principal payment starting in January 2018. A less aggressive pay-down option is available based on level monthly payments which would result in more interest accruing over the life of the loan. (5) FY 2016 budgeted debt service is $6,828,743, the Debt Reserve Fund is contributing $68,757, the net 2015 bond issue premium.

GRAPHS OF SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL TRENDS J=NSR=J

TOWN OF CHESHIRE GRAPHS OF SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL TRENDS SUMMARY Below is a brief description of the trends shown on the graphs in this section, all of which report historical data for ten years: General Fund Results From Operations Surplus: This graph reports results from operations budgetary revenue / expenditure variances, the net result of which has been consistently favorable. These surpluses add to the Town s general fund balance, a portion of which is generally appropriated to fund the subsequent year s budget. General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance: This graph reports General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance which is the cumulative results from annual operations less any amount appropriated to fund the subsequent year s budget and less any additional appropriations approved after the original budget was adopted. General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance as a Percentage of Actual Budgetary Expenditures: This graph reports General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance as a percentage of General Fund budgetary expenditures, including operating transfers out. Assessed Valuation of Taxable Property: This graph reports the net grand list as of October 1 of each year, as subsequently adjusted by the Board of Assessment Appeals. Mill Rate History: This graph reports the property tax mill rates approved by the Town Council to support the Town s annual General Fund budget. Tax Collection Rate Current Levy, Actual vs. Budget: This graph reports the actual percentage of taxes collected on the current levy and the percentage used to estimate these revenues for budgeting purposes. Combined Town and Police Pension Plans Actuarial Values of Assets vs. Accrued Liabilities: This graph compares the actuarial value of assets with corresponding accrued liabilities on a combined basis for both the Town and Police Pension Plans. Actuarial accrued liabilities consist of the portion of the actuarial present value of pension plan benefits and expenses that are not provided for by future normal costs. The actuarial value of assets consists of cash, investments and other property belonging to the pension plan, as used by the actuary for the purpose of an actuarial valuation. Gross Long-Term Debt Service as a Percentage of General Fund Actual Expenditures: This graph compares the annual debt service with total General Fund expenditures and operating transfers out. The gross debt service includes principal and interest payments on long-term financing and is not reduced by any offsetting grant or assessment revenues. J=NSS=J

This graph identifies the amount of the Town s operating budget surpluses, or combined budgetary revenue/expenditure variances, for each fiscal year. It indicates that the Town has achieved consistently favorable results from operations, the main contributing factor to the Town s fund balance, or reserve, account (see next page). J=NST=J

This graph identifies the amount of the Town s fund balance reserve, which is the cumulative results from operations (surplus or deficit) less any amount appropriated from this fund. Since this represents the Town s reserve or savings fund, it is important that it at least stays relatively constant, or ideally increases each year as the Town s total budget increases. The total amount of a surplus is very important, but the more critical information is how much it represents as a percentage of General Fund expenditures, which is explained on the next page. J=NSU=J

The previous page explains fund balance and provides the dollar amounts pertaining to this graph. While the total amount of fund balance is very important, the determining indicator as to its sufficiency is the percentage that the fund balance represents of the general fund budgetary expenditures. The Town s fund balance policy dictates that the Town should maintain an unassigned general fund balance of 8% to 9% of the previous fiscal year s budgetary operating expenditures, as recommended through best practices and credit rating agencies. This 8% to 9% range benchmark proves for a healthy reserve to support Town operations. J=NSV=J

The State requires that property assessment represents 70% of the market value of the property. Anomalies on this graph in 2010 and 2015 are associated with State mandated property revaluations. The detail at the bottom of the graph illustrates the shift in percentages of each type of property. An increase in the value of taxable property reduces the tax burden and generates more revenue at the existing mill rate. The increase from one year to the next when multiplied by the existing mill rate indicates the amount of additional tax revenue available for the budget. J=NTM=J

A resident s or business s tax obligation is determined by multiplying the mill rate times their assessed value, and since the assessed value of a parcel of real estate stays relatively constant except for revaluation years, the mill rate is the critical variable impacting a property owner s taxes. A mill is the value in dollars that a homeowner pays per $1,000 of assessed value. As illustrated above, the mill rate follows a trend of moderate increases, except in fiscal years 2010 and 2015 when fluctuations generated from property revaluations disrupted this trend. J=NTN=J

This graph compares the percentage of taxes estimated to be collected when the budget was developed to the actual percentage of taxes collected at the close of the fiscal year. The graph depicts some critical financial elements: 1. The continuing and extremely high percentage of tax collections. 2. The percentage difference between the estimated and actual collection rates has resulted in surplus revenue ranging from approximately $445,000 to $876,000 over the ten years depicted in this graph.

The two pension plans represented in this graph, Town (General Government and non-certified Education employees) and Police Officers, have been closed out to new hires in the past few years. The Pension plans still represent a large potential future liability to the Town s financial operations. The level of pension funding is also one of the critical factors considered in a credit rating review, therefore it is important to adequately fund these plans. This graph illustrates that in fiscal OMMVI the liabilities of the plans exceeded the assets, due to the decline in the stock market in the fall of 2008 and a change in interest assumptions since then. Ideally the assets should exceed the liabilities, and this graph indicates that we are making progress in this effort through a multiyear phase in of contribution increases based on our actuary s recommendations. It is expected that within the next three years the assets should equal or exceed the liabilities. J=NTP=J

This measurement is one of the critical indicators of a community s fiscal health. Too much debt, or long term obligations, can become a significant financial burden and a sign of potential fiscal problems or limitations. Rating agencies and best practices recommend that this debt to total expense percentage should be 10% or less. As indicated in this chart, over the last ten years our long-term debt service percentages have been declining and are now well below the 10% threshold and at an all time low for the Town. J=NTQ=J
