City of Rock Hill, South Carolina—Fiscal Year 2019/2020


City Manager’s Letter It is my privilege to present the balanced budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2019, and ending June 30, 2020, which totals $252,310,225. The annual budget is the policy document that communicates the financial policies of the City for the fiscal year. The budget is prepared each year with the support and policy input of our elected officials and hard work from our departments to ensure that we are preparing the leanest budget possible while still providing high quality The Fiscal Year 2020 balanced services through excellent service delivery. Each annual budget has a long budget maintains the level of term impact on our community and our citizens. We continue to maintain service that Rock Hill citizens fiscal prudence and efficient management of operations to ensure we stay have grown to appreciate and well positioned to respond to challenges facing the City today while expect while continuing the addressing future needs of our community. City’s tradition of fiscal prudence and efficient operations which Budget Highlights keeps us well positioned to respond to challenges that face The City of Rock Hill understands that our greatest asset is our employees. our City today and address The Fiscal Year 2020 budget focused on several personnel initiatives future needs. The approved including: merit-based wage increase, longevity bonus and employer budget reflects the City’s retirement increase. The merit-based wage increase is a 2.5% increase for priorities as outlined in the employees based on an annual performance appraisal. The longevity pay Strategic Plan. This budget incentive is a yearly bonus paid to employees based on their years of document provides useful continuous service to the City. The retirement increase is a 1% increase to information about the City’s the employer portion of retirement mandated by the state legislature. This financial and performance plans, mandate, enacted In Fiscal Year 2018, includes 1% employer retirement goals, and policies. increase for each of the following six years. The increases in employer retirement contribution rates will ultimately produce an employer rate of 18.56% for SCRS and 21.24% for PORS. Even if payroll remained unchanged until FY 2023, it will add over $4 million in annual costs to the City’s payroll which will greatly impact the City’s financial flexibility in the coming years. In addition to the personnel initiatives listed above, the FY2020 budget expanded on the two new operating funds introduced with the FY2019 budget. In June 2019, the City began operating a free electric bus service. This service has seven buses and four routes throughout the city. This service is funded primarily through federal grant money, private partners and City contributions. The City is continuing to monitor this service , to ensure we are providing citizens with the best service possible. The City has also been working on a parking system in the Knowledge Park area of Rock Hill. The first parking deck is near completion and the staff has been hired to assist in this transition. The long term plan for the parking system is to expand throughout the community but the first priority is the new development in Knowledge Park. The parking system will be funded through revenues collected at the parking garages. The new parking system will be a major shift for the community, as citizens have previously not had to pay for parking in the downtown area. The City is working hard to educate citizens and answer questions as they arise. The growth of our community creates the need for new positions in several of our departments as we strive to meet the demands of a growing area where there are more services being provided to more customers. The city’s population has grown 78.44% since 1990, mostly due to the progression from a textile community to a manufacturing, distribution and knowledge economy. Despite these growing demands the FY2020 budget adds only four new positions; a Police Officer I to handle domestic violence investigations, an Environmental Lab Technician III to help meet the demands of the growing water system, an Electronic Service Technician II to address electrical maintenance issues at the water and wastewater plants, and an Engineering Technician III to implement a computerized work order system at the plants. After the FY2019 budget adoption, the City received a large federal grant to fund a 15 member ladder company in the fire department. The City continues to focus on business-friendly initiatives this fiscal year. City Management and elected officials continue to meet with the small business leadership group, developers and community members to determine ways the City can best assist businesses. The City has restructured the business license fee schedule, which resulted in a fee reduction to approximately 95% of the City’s customers. Additionally, a local preference ordinance was extended through this budget year that gives an advantage to our local contractors in matching the lowest bid on City projects. Finally, the City is keeping the business-friendly initiative of reimbursing contractors who upsize water and sewer lines. City of Rock Hill, South Carolina—Fiscal Year 2019/2020

City Manager’s Letter Strategic Planning In 2018, Rock Hill’s City Council looked at new data collected from citizen, business and employee surveys, and worked with staff to develop a set of revised strategic initiatives and a strategic plan, which was adopted on May 29, 2018, and will guide the City through June 30, 2021, when a new strategic plan will be adopted. Our strategic plan provides a blueprint for the City’s future by outlining ambitions, setting priorities, and providing performance targets to ensure adequate progress toward making the vision a reality. The strategic plan is a promise to our stakeholders – we are committed to live up to our motto of being ‘Always On’ in our pursuit of making Rock Hill a preferred place to live, do business and visit.

We pledge to embrace innovative and ambitious solutions to the challenges of tomorrow. Engaging represents our responsibility to actively communicate and connect with our residents. Placing an emphasis on public trust, inclusivity, and empowerment we are compelled to take Rock Hill from a successful to a significant city. Growing encompasses our pledge to work together to encourage the balanced growth of Rock Hill. Individual success and a vibrant, sustainable local economy are vital to our shared prosperity.

City of Rock Hill, South Carolina—Fiscal Year 2019/2020


City Manager’s Letter Financial reality on budget process As with any budget process, there are certain financial limitations that are taken into account. The City’s financial policies govern the entire budget process. For example, the City is very cognizant of our General Fund debt margin of 8%. With this in mind, there have been certain capital projects that the City chose to fund from the operating budget instead of issuing debt. Another example of how the City’s financial policies govern the budget process is with our operating transfer policy. The City uses a formula that presupposes that utility services would have been provided by a privately-owned utility instead of the City’s publicly-owned utility. Such utility would have paid municipal ad valorem taxes and a franchise fee to the General Fund of the City, and the utility’s investors would have been entitled to a return on their investment. For this reason, the City has established a policy guideline regarding franchise fees, payments in lieu of taxes, rates of return and operating transfers from the utility system. Both the FY2020 and FY2021 budgets strictly adhere to these guidelines. A Few Budget Highlights: Budget Summary The Fiscal Year 2020 approved budget totals $252,310,225, a 2.64% increase over last fiscal year. The proposed Fiscal Year 2021 budget totals $260,623,827, a 3.29% increase over Fiscal Year 2020. The Local Hospitality Tax continues to have a positive impact on our community by supporting tourism-generating activities which have produced a significant economic impact since its inception in 2003. The FY2020 approved budget includes the Rock Hill Sports and Event Center, which is completely funded through hospitality tax revenue. This facility is a 170,000 square foot facility able to host athletics, conventions, conferences etc. This facility is expected to open in the Fall of 2019 and generate significant revenue for the City of Rock Hill. Successful business recruitment efforts have resulted in business license revenues remaining strong. There has also been modest growth in real and personal property taxes. Despite milder weather patterns, electric, water, and wastewater revenues also remained strong.

General Fund The approved FY2020 General Fund budget totals $65,908,750, an increase of 3.00% when compared to last fiscal year’s approved budget and includes a 10% increase in commercial sanitation rates to cover a 7.50% increase in the York County landfill tipping fees absorbed since 2015 and an increase in operations. The proposed FY2021 General Fund budget totals $68,091,488, a 3.31% increase when compared to FY2020. The revenues in the General Fund are predominately property taxes (42%), charges for services (20%), and licenses/permits (17%). The property tax rate remains at 93.5 mills. The City’s taxpayer concentration remains favorable; there is no significant exposure among any certain taxpayer. Taxpayer Concentration 2014-2018

City Manager’s Letter Utility Enterprise Fund The Utility Enterprise Fund consists of the electric, water, wastewater and stormwater funds and water and wastewater impact fee funds. Fiscal Year 2020 expenditures for the Utility Enterprise Fund total $169,990,839, a 0.71% increase over last year’s approved budget. The proposed 2021 budget is $175,044,170 which represents a 2.97% increase over FY2020. Maintaining aging infrastructure, expanding infrastructure into growing areas, and using technology to enhance service delivery are priorities for our Utility Fund. In Fiscal Year 2020, the combined utility system expects to issue $65 million in Utility Revenue Bonds and $55 million in State Revolving Fund (SRF) loans to continue expansion of the wastewater treatment plant. The Stormwater fund also plans to issue $4.5 million in SRF loans to cover the completion of two major stormwater projects in the stormwater master plan. For the third consecutive year, neither Rock Hill customers nor the City saw an electric rate increase. Over the past twenty years, the City’s electric system has absorbed over $240 million worth of rate increases from Piedmont Municipal Power Agency (PMPA), but because there was no PMPA rate increase this year, the City was able to keep electric rates stable. The FY2021 budget also does not include a rate increase for the electric system. The Fiscal Year 2020 budget also does not include a rate increase for water system customers. Wastewater customers will see a slight increase of 3.00% wastewater base and volumetric rate, equivalent to $1.30 per month for our average inside residential customer. The proposed FY2021 budget includes a combined base and volumetric increase of 7.71% for water and a 3.00% combined base and volumetric wastewater rate increase to cover additional system capital improvements as outlined in our newly revised utility CIP. The overall monthly impact to the average residential customer will be $3.00 for these expected increases. The water and wastewater systems have seen modest rate increases over the past several years to fund the expansion of both the water filter plant and the wastewater treatment plant. These increases were gradually put in place to avoid rate shock to our customers with the issuance of new debt. The increases are projected through FY2024 but this could change depending on construction costs and timing of the projects.

Conclusion Despite the challenges presented with balancing the Fiscal Year 2020 and Fiscal Year 2021 budgets, Rock Hill’s tradition of fiscal prudence has allowed us to continue with progress on accomplishing the goals outlined in the Strategic Plan and enhancing the overall quality of service delivery to our community. I invite you to monitor our financial and strategic plan progress throughout the year by visiting the City’s performance and financial dashboards located on the City’s transparency webpage— cityofrockhill.com/transparency.

David B. Vehaun City Manager

Budget Process Each year, the City of Rock Hill’s budget is developed in conjunction with the Mayor and City Council, the Office of Management, Finance, and all other city departments, with opportunities for citizen feedback. Budget Process Developing the Budget Strategic planning sessions precede the official budget process. During these sessions, Council and staff discuss goals and priorities. Every three years these goals and priorities are evaluated and modified extensively with only minor adjustments occurring in the other years. Information from these sessions are then carried over to the budgeting process. The budget process begins in January with a special, comprehensive work session in which the Budget Team (consisting of staff from the Office of Management and Finance Department) meets with all departments to discuss current and future trends, needs, and goals of the City. During this meeting, the City’s budget calendar is reviewed. Departments are then responsible for preparing requests for programs, projects, and initiatives they would like to have considered for the upcoming budget year. The Strategic Plan serves as a guide by which each department prepares its expenditure requests. During this time, Finance prepares revenue estimates for both the current and upcoming fiscal years.

Following these meetings, the Budget Team prepares a draft budget ensuring the priorities and goals discussed in the strategic planning sessions are appropriately reflected in the recommended budget. The City Manager’s recommended budget is presented to the Mayor and Council at formal budget workshops in April and May. Adopting the Budget The public has an opportunity to comment on the budget during the first and second reading of the ordinance to adopt the budget. A public hearing and two readings are required for formal adoption of the budget. State law requires City Council to adopt a balanced budget, in which current revenues equal current expenditures, prior to July 1 of each year. Amendments to the budget are allowable under South Carolina law and are made throughout the year as necessary. The budget calendar is provided on the following page. Two-Year Budgeting The City of Rock Hill uses a two-year budgeting process with the governing body approving the year one budget and being made aware of the projected budget for year two. The two-year budgeting process has several benefits; one of the most obvious benefits is demonstrating how financial decisions in one year affect the future.

Each department meets individually with the Budget Team to review program budgets and expenditure requests. During these meetings, the goals of each department are reviewed and expenditure requests are evaluated to determine their alignment with the strategic goals and the fiscal resources necessary to fund the requests.

Budgetary Fund Structure The annual budget is comprised of many different types of funds. In creating the annual budget, the City appropriates funds for the General Fund, various Enterprise Funds, and a few Impact Fee Funds. Although there are other funds, like capital projects or special revenue, they have specific revenues/expenditures that limit their uses. Therefore, the chart below only includes funds for which the City allocated its funds.

NON-ENTERPRISE FUNDS  The General Fund accounts for all financial resources that are not accounted for in other funds. This includes the     

common City functions such as Police, Fire, Finance, Public Works, etc. The Tax Increment Fund accounts for special districts throughout the City. This Fiscal Year includes the following districts: Downtown, Textile Corridor, and Red River. State Accommodations Tax is a 2% tax on overnight lodging throughout the state of South Carolina. These monies can be spent on tourism-related expenses. The Local Option Hospitality Tax is a City tax on lodging, food and beverage sales.

Financial Policies & Strategies Rock Hill budget and financial polices and strategies are governed by South Carolina state law, the City Charter, and generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These laws, strategies, principles, and policies describe ways to amend the budget after adoption, provide for budget controls and budget reporting, and identify appropriate methods for budgeting, accounting, and reporting. Budget Amendments The City Manager is authorized to transfer any sum from one budget line item to another, or from one department or division to another department or division; provided, however, that no such transfer shall (1) be made from one fund to another fund, (2) conflict with any existing Bond Ordinance, or (3) conflict with any previously adopted policy of the City Council. Any change in the budget which would increase or decrease the total of all authorized expenditures must be approved by City Council. Budget Controls & Reporting All excess material revenue collected by the City of Rock Hill that exceeds the projected budget revenue figure from a specific revenue category for each fiscal reporting period must be reported to City Council on a monthly basis. The expenditure of any and all excess revenue will be at Council’s discretion and cannot be utilized within the City budget without Council’s approval.

Enterprise Fund Transfers & Year Ending Condition In addition to building cash reserves, the City has also successfully met its goal of reducing the amount of transfers from the Enterprise Fund to the General Fund. By aggressively containing costs in General Fund departments and adhering to the established financial policies, the City has been able to reduce the General Fund’s dependency on the utilities fund transfer. From a 1992 high of covering 42% of general fund expenditures, the Fiscal Year 2020 budgeted utilities transfer adheres to the policy and covers 13.06% ($8,604,390) of general fund expenditures.

Financial Policies & Strategies Budgetary & Accounting Systems The accounting policies of the City of Rock Hill conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applicable to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The following is a summary of the more significant policies applicable to revenues and expenditures. Fund Accounting The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds and account groups, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. Fund accounting is designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to aid financial management by segregating transactions related to certain government functions or activities. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Funds Governmental Funds are used to account for all or most of a government's general activities. Examples of these activities include public safety, parks, and sanitation services. These revenues come from property taxes, user fees, licenses, and permits. Within the category of Governmental Funds, Rock Hill maintains General, Special Revenue, and Capital Projects Funds. General Fund- The General Fund is the City's general operating fund and is used to account for all financial transactions except those required to be accounted for in another fund. Principle sources of revenue are property taxes, licenses and permits, intergovernmental revenues, and sanitation service charges. The expenditures in the General Fund are administration, budget, finance, economic development, fleet maintenance, public safety, general government, public works, housing authority, and parks and recreation. Special Revenue Fund- The Special Revenue Fund is used to account for the proceeds from specific revenue sources (other than funding for major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. The City does not adopt a budget for the Special Revenue Fund because it primarily serves as a pass-through for federal grants. Capital Projects Fund- The Capital Projects Fund accounts for financial resources, including bond proceeds and intergovernmental grants, used for the acquisition, construction, or improvement of major general government facilities. The City does not adopt a formal budget for the Capital Projects Fund, although particular projects are detailed within this budget in the "Bond Schedule" section. Enterprise Funds are used to account for the business-type activities of a government. These are activities which are financed and operated in a manner where the intent of the governing body is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods and services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges. The funds include the Electric, Water, Wastewater, Stormwater, and Impact Fee funds. Basis of Accounting The accounting and financial reporting applied to a fund are determined by its measurement focus. All governmental funds are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus. Only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. Governmental fund revenues and expenditures are recognized on the modified accrual basis. Revenues are deemed susceptible to accrual and are recognized in the period when they become measurable and available. Expenditures are recognized when the fund liability is incurred, except principal and interest on general long-term debt which is recognized when due or when funds have been made available for payment. The proprietary fund is accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, all assets and liabilities associated with the operation of these funds are included on the balance sheet. Unlike modified accrual basis, this basis includes depreciation, amortization, capital assets donated by private parties, and capital asset purchases are treated as expenses. Fund equity is segregated into contributed capital and retained earnings components. Proprietary fund-type operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in net total assets.

City of Rock Hill, South Carolina—Fiscal Year 2019/2020


Financial Policies & Strategies Budgetary & Accounting Systems (continued) Basis of Budgeting In accordance with the General Statutes of the State of South Carolina, City Council is required by state statute to adopt an annual balanced budget ordinance for the Combined General and Enterprise Operating Funds prior to July 1. Project ordinances are adopted for the Special Revenue and Capital Projects Funds when necessary. All budgets are prepared using the modified accrual basis of accounting. City Council has the authority to amend the budget ordinance. Appropriations lapse at the end of the budget year. Appropriations are authorized in the annual budget ordinance generally at the department level. The legal level of budgetary control is at the fund level; however, in practice, the City maintains control at the department level. Administrative control is further maintained through more detailed line-item budgets. The City adopts this budget for the General Fund (Fund 500) and the Enterprise Funds (Fund 700 series).

Additional History The local tax rate remained steady at 100 mills until 1998 when it was increased to 104 mills to meet the cost of Public Safety initiatives. An additional two mill tax increase was included in the Fiscal Year 2001 budget. Reassessment was completed by York County, and the rollback millage, with a two mill rate increase, brought the City’s total millage for Fiscal Year 2002 down to 98 mills. A four mill tax increase was included in the Fiscal Year 2005 budget to cover the cost of adding Firefighters to the new fire station. In Fiscal Year 2007, a three mill tax increase funded the addition of a Street Crimes Unit in the Police Department and construction of a new fire station. In Fiscal Year 2012, the tax rate was decreased to 93.5 mills to provide a revenue neutral budget as a result of reassessment. Charges for Services

Tax Increment Financing Fund The City has two active Tax Increment Financing (TIF) districts where incremental increases in property taxes are collected from the City, County and Schools. These TIF districts will be in effect until FY2039. The revenues in this fund pay for the debt service on publicly owned improvements such as streets, sidewalks, utilities, landscaping, parks, etc.

Transit Fund The Transit Fund is one of the newest City funds, established in FY2019. The City’s bus system is fare free, so this fund relies on federal transit grants, private partnerships and City contributions. Federal grants pay for a portion of all capital and operating needs. The City has three private partners in Winthrop University, Family Trust Federal Credit Union and Piedmont Medical Center. These partners help offset the City match needed for the Federal grants.

Accommodations Tax Fund South Carolina charges a statewide sales tax rate of 7% on accommodations. Five percent remains at the state level and 2% is disbursed to local governments. This is in addition to the City’s 3% local lodging tax on accommodations mentioned above. The 2% is then disbursed to local organizations based on recommendations from the accommodations tax advisory board.

Parking Fund The Parking Fund was established with the Transit Fund in FY2019. The parking fund collects revenue from parking decks and on-street parking meters around town. This fund has established fees for monthly, employee, transient and special event parking. This system is starting in University Center and will grow throughout the City over the next several years.

Future Debt In June 2019, City Council approved a general obligation bond issue of up to $1.7 million for the renovations of Charlotte Avenue Bridge. The City plans to issue this debt in late summer 2019. This issue is included in the FY2019/2020 and FY2020/2021 debt calculation above. In Fiscal Year 2020, the City plans to borrow $55 million from the State Revolving Fund (SRF) for expansion of the existing wastewater treatment plant. The City also anticipates using Tax Increment Funding to finance $15 million for another parking deck at University Center. Financing for the FY2020 Equipment Lease Purchase, totaling $6.4 million, will be finalized in late summer 2019 to fund vehicle and equipment replacements. This lease is slightly higher than the City’s typical lease financing due to the replacement of radios in public safety and an additional ladder truck for the fire department’s new ladder company. Over the next eight to ten years, the City plans to issue approximately $220 million in debt for the purpose of completing improvements and additions to the current wastewater facilities. The expansion of the facilities will be financed through Utility Revenue Bonds. These improvements are needed not only to manage the current demand but also the anticipated demand on our system due to growth. Utility system rate increases projected for FY2020-2024 will help service the future debt and continue to fund pay-as-you-go projects. As the cost of the Utility System improvements have drastically increased in the last few years, the City will monitor the need for further rate increases to help pay the anticipated debt service.

Debt Service Tax Increment Financing Bonds Taxes generated from the construction of businesses in these areas are being used to retire the debt on these bonds. To the extent that debt service requirements on the bonds exceed the incremental property tax revenues, utility net revenues are pledged. Currently, Rock Hill has three Tax Increment Bond areas: Downtown, Textile Corridor, and Red River. The debt service requirements for these three tax increment districts will be met through the construction of businesses and utilities generated by those businesses. The debt service payments for each TIF bond are due at different times throughout the year. Highlights of outstanding bonds repaid with tax increments include:         

Series 2012, outstanding principal of $2,230,000. Series 2012A, outstanding principal of $1,689,000. Series 2013A, outstanding principal of $6,235,000. Series 2013B, outstanding principal of $3,020,000. Series 2014, outstanding principal of $2,535,000. Series 2015, outstanding principal of $7,253,000. Series 2015B, outstanding principal of $6,213,000. Series 2016A (MID), outstanding principal of $2,615,000. Series 2018, outstanding principal of $28,960,000

The 2014 Tax Increment Financed Bond was a refinancing of the 2011A Textile TIF, and the Series 2015 was a refinancing of the 2009 Red River TIF, both which were done in order to take advantage of lower interest rates. The 2015B Tax Increment Finance Bond and 2016A Municipal Improvement District Assessment Revenue Bond were issued to construct major roads in the next phases of the Riverwalk Development. The Series 2018 bond was a refinancing of the Series 2017 bond and new money for the University Center area in the Textile TIF District.

Debt Service Equipment Lease Purchase Each fiscal year, the City has entered into a lease-purchase agreement for several vehicles and equipment. This continues to be a favorable method of vehicle and equipment acquisition. This type of debt is incurred on an annual basis in order to maintain our fleet according to a replacement schedule. Typically, vehicles that are financed in this way are at least $30,000 and have an estimated useful life of at least three years. In past years, the City took advantage of lower interest rates by refinancing some older lease purchase deals. City Council approved the execution of an Equipment Lease Purchase in June; however, the bid is still outstanding and will not be included in this year’s budget document.

Capital Improvement Plan Enterprise Funds Rate Plan Past Rate Increases In the 2000’s, the City began proactively planning for future plant expansions for water and wastewater treatment. Originally, the plant expansions were planned for Fiscal Year 2013. Knowing that the plant expansions would be substantial, the City created a plan in order to have small, incremental rate increases over many years. These increases were designed to avoid rate shock to our customers by raising the necessary funding to pay the ultimate debt service over time. Over the course of time the projected date for the large bond issuance for water and wastewater plant expansions was postponed. This was due to a number of reasons. One of the biggest factors was weak revenue growth. Growth in electric revenues was hampered by yearly purchased power increases. Additionally, water revenues began declining due to the successful conservation educational efforts. For three years, from 2007 to 2010, the City experienced a drought, and citizens learned conservation techniques. Wastewater revenue was proportionally slow growing. The plant expansions were also delayed due to a greater cost, which included factors such as, unexpected inflation and additional state and federal regulations. Estimated costs for expansion of our facilities which include all improvements needed to manage the anticipated demand on our system due to growth, continued to climb, making a different approach to funding necessary. During 2015, a consultant was hired to complete a rate study which provided a proposal on how to best accommodate the needs of the system in a way that was equitable to our customers. Beginning in Fiscal Year 2017, a water and wastewater rate restructure initially decreased the water base charge and implemented tiers based on consumption to reflect industry standards. In addition, a wastewater base decrease with an increase to the volumetric charge was also implemented. Combining higher rates for higher consumption with increases to impact fees for new development, the approach put more of the cost of expanding the system on those responsible for the growth of the system. Proposed Rate Increases In preparing for future debt service, City leaders wanted to ensure there was a reasonable plan for generating more revenue. The schedule included on the next page shows rate increase proposals in order to fund future debt service. In Fiscal Year 2017 alone, the combined utility system issued $90 million in new debt to expand our electric, water and wastewater facilities, with an anticipated total of $171 million going towards expansion of the wastewater treatment plant over the next ten years. Currently, the combined base and volumetric increase for the average inside, residential water customer is projected at 7.71% in FY2021 and 4.50% in FY2023. The combined base and volumetric increase for wastewater is 3.00% starting in FY2019 and continuing through FY2024. For the third time in 19 years, Piedmont Municipal Power Agency (PMPA) did not increase rates, which meant that the City and customers did not experience an electric rate increase this year. Over the past 20 years, the City’s electric system has absorbed over $240 million worth of rate increases from PMPA, but because there was no PMPA rate increase this year, the City was able to maintain stable electric rates. Future budgets include projected wholesale power rate increases, which range from 1% to 2.5% each year.

Personnel Summary This personnel summary provides a headcount of all full-time and part-time staff in all funds. The approved Fiscal Year 2020 budget includes 19 new positions. The ladder company in the fire department accounts for 15 of the new positions. The 4 additional positions are in the police and utilities departments. The City has worked efficiently with prior staffing levels in the past, but increased service needs from new operating ventures and expansions at the water and wastewater plants have resulted in a need for increased staffing at facilities. The City remains dedicated to serving the community with a growing population. This is demonstrated by the trend line representing the number of employees per 1,000 population in the chart below.

Appendix Modified Accrual Accounting: A basis of accounting in which expenditures are accrued but revenues are accounted for on a cash basis.

Appendix Financial Policies The City of Rock Hill has developed a comprehensive set of financial policies that are consistent with the City’s goals and objectives. Specific attention has been given to make sure that these policies are both consistent and relationally sound. Financial policies are an integral part of the development of service, capital, and financial plans and the budget. They provide the basis for decision-making and continue Rock Hill’s tradition of financial stability. FP 1: Fund Balances The City will maintain stabilization funds at levels sufficient to protect the City's credit as well as its financial position from emergencies. The City of Rock Hill seeks to maintain a prudent level of financial resources to protect against reducing service levels or raising taxes and fees because of temporary revenue shortfalls or unpredicted one-time expenditures. Stabilization funds are called by many names including rainy day funds, unreserved, undesignated fund balances, and contingency funds. These funds are used at a government’s discretion for many purposes: to address temporary cash flow shortages; to fund emergencies; unanticipated economic downturns; and onetime opportunities. These funds provide flexibility to respond to unexpected opportunities that may help a government achieve its goals. The minimum and maximum amounts to be accumulated are based on the types of revenue, the level of uncertainty associated with revenues, the condition of capital assets, or the City’s level of security with its financial position. It is the goal of the City of Rock Hill to maintain a General Fund Balance equal to at least 15% of the total audited General Fund expenditures from the previous fiscal year and to maintain Enterprise Fund Unrestricted Net Assets equal to at least 20% of total Enterprise Fund operating expenses for the previous fiscal year. The State of South Carolina does not provide any local government constraints regarding the establishment of stabilization funds. The following summarizes the City's policy on different types of fund balances: Non-spendable The non-spendable fund balance includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either not in spendable form, such as supplies inventories, or are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact, such as principal donated to the City to be invested and held in a permanent fund from which only the investment earnings can be spent. Restricted Fund balance is reported as restricted when constraints placed on the use of resources are either externally imposed by creditors (such as through debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments or is imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation (City ordinances). Enabling legislation includes a legally enforceable requirement that those resources be used only for the specific purposes stipulated in the legislation. Legal enforceability means that the City can be compelled by an external party to use resources created by enabling legislation only for the purposes specified by the legislation. Committed The committed fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes imposed by formal action of City Council. Those committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless City Council removes or changes the specified use by taking the same type of action it employed to previously commit those amounts. In contrast to fund balance that is restricted by enabling legislation, committed fund balance classification may be redeployed for other purposes with appropriate due process. Constraints imposed on the use of committed

City of Rock Hill, South Carolina—Fiscal Year 2019/2020

269


Appendix amounts are imposed by City Council, separate from the authorization to raise the underlying revenue; therefore, compliance with these constraints is not considered to be legally enforceable. Committed fund balance also incorporates contractual obligations to the extent that existing resources in the fund have been specifically committed for use in satisfying those contractual requirements.

Assigned Amounts in the assigned fund balance classification are intended to be used by the City for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed. In governmental funds other than the General Fund, assigned fund balance represents the remaining amount that is not restricted or committed. In the General Fund, assigned amounts represent intended uses established by City Council or the City Manager or his designee. Unassigned Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification for the General Fund and includes all spendable amounts not contained in the other classifications. In other governmental funds, the unassigned classification is used only to report a deficit balance resulting from overspending for specific purposes for which amounts had been restricted, committed, or assigned. FP 2: Revenue The City will design, maintain and administer a revenue system that will assure a reliable, equitable, diversified and sufficient revenue stream to support desired City services. Since the principle revenue stream for the government is determined by the fees and charges that are established, it is important that the City adopt policies that identify the manner in which fees and charges are set and the extent to which they cover the cost of the service provided. A revenue system that requires the identification of both the cost of the program and the portion of the cost that will be recovered through fees & charges allows the City and its citizens to develop a better understanding of the cost of services and to consider the appropriateness of established fees and charges. To that end, the City has established the following goals that are used to accomplish this policy: 1. The City will seek to establish all user charges fees at a level related to the full costs (operating, direct, indirect and capital) of providing the service. The City will review these fees & charges annually in the budget process and target rates that meet the cost to serve – particularly in the City’s key businesses (Public Safety, Public Works, Electric, Water, Wastewater, and Parks, Recreation & Tourism). In any event, all enterprise funds will be self-supporting. 2. Costs of service include direct and indirect costs such as operating and maintenance costs, overhead, and charges for use of capital (depreciation and debt service). A government may choose not to recover all costs, but it should identify such costs. Reasons for not recovering full costs should be identified and explained. State and local law may govern the establishment of fees and charges. 3. The City will consider market rates and charges levied by other businesses and municipalities for like services in establishing rates, fees and charges. These fees will be reviewed through the City’s annual rate survey. 4. One-time or special revenues shall not be used to finance ongoing City operations but rather be used for the funding of special projects. 5. An aggressive policy of seeking the collection of delinquent utility and license fee accounts will be maintained.

270

Appendix 6. Citizen input into decisions relating to revenues will be solicited during the annual budget public hearing process and will be made available for public review prior to City Council consideration of first reading. 7. In determining revenue projections - and where judgment is required - conservatism shall be the rule. FP 3: Diversified Revenue Base The City will annually review its revenue source to maintain a diversified revenue base. The City of Rock Hill is committed to a diverse revenue base. Since all revenue sources have particular characteristics in terms of stability, growth, sensitivity to inflation or business cycle effects, and impact on tax and rate payers - a diversity of revenue sources can improve a government’s ability to handle fluctuations in revenues and potentially help to better distribute the cost of providing services. The City will identify approaches that will be used to improve revenue diversification. In accomplishing this policy, the City will analyze the sensitivity of revenues to changes in rates, the fairness of the tax or fee, administrative aspects of the revenue source, and other relevant issues. Over time the City will strive to improve its revenue diversity to the extent feasible. Since the City is statutorily limited as to the types of revenues it may raise, it may consider options to enhance flexibility within the constraints of available revenue sources. For example, The City will seek to diversify the tax base on which the property tax is levied. FP 4: Use of One-Time Revenue The City will limit the use of one-time revenues to pay for ongoing expenditures of the government. By definition, one-time revenues cannot be relied on in future budget periods. Since the use of one-time revenues can have disruptive effects on services due to non-recurrence of these sources, the City will dedicate one-time revenues (e.g. infrequent sales of government assets, bond refunding savings, infrequent revenues from development, and grants) to be used on expenditures appropriate startup costs, stabilization, special projects, and capital purchases. Any use of revenue that adds to the ongoing expenditure base will be carefully reviewed and minimized (e.g., capital expenditures that significantly increase ongoing operating expenses without a sustainable and offsetting long-term revenue plan). FP 5: Revenue Classification The City will annually evaluate all revenues, determine those that are considered to be unpredictable, and determine the best use of those revenues. A financial plan for governments should take into account the unpredictable nature of key revenues. This ensures that a government understands the potential impact on its ability to cover service costs and develops contingency plans in advance to address unpredictable revenue fluctuations. Specific allocation and contingency plans do not have to be developed for all unpredictable revenues, but become increasingly necessary as the size or unpredictability of the revenue source increases. The City will annually identify major revenue sources it considers unpredictable and define how these revenues may be used. Unpredictable revenue sources cannot be relied on as to the level of revenue they will generate. Particularly with major revenue sources, it is important to consider how significant variation in revenue receipts will affect the government’s financial outlook and ability to operate programs in the current and future budget periods. For each major unpredictable revenue source, the City will identify those aspects of the revenue source that make

271


Appendix the revenue unpredictable. Most importantly, the City will identify the expected or normal degree of volatility of the revenue source. For example, revenues from a particular source may fluctuate, but rarely, if ever, fall below some predictable minimum base. The City will decide, in advance, on a set of tentative actions to be taken if these revenue sources generate revenues substantially higher or lower than projected. The plans should be publicly discussed and used in budget decision making. FP 6: Operating Transfers The City will quantify operating transfers from the utility system to cover utility costs which are budgeted with general fund expenses. The City Council has determined that the City needs to maintain the competitiveness of the utility system and rate structure, and therefore has historically minimized Utility Fund transfers to the General Fund, except for amounts reasonably necessary to cover a portion of the General Fund expenses which are incurred to support City General Fund obligations and costs related to the utility system services. Such General Fund expenses include, among other things, the use of City resources, assets, and facilities and funding obligations of the City’s General Fund related to utility system bonded indebtedness. Notwithstanding the higher costs to the General Fund related to such utility system expenses, the transfers should be reduced to a level that is both supportable and lawful. Accordingly, in order to maintain a competitive utility rate structure, the City will forgo a larger Utility Fund transfer and uses a formula that presupposes that General Fund expenses related to utility services will be no higher than funds a privately-owned utility would have earned as a reasonable rate of return along with sums that would be paid to the City, and further, in no event shall any transfer exceed the General Fund utility related expenses as set forth above. For this reason, the City has established the following policy guidelines regarding public asset user fees, payments in lieu of taxes, rates of return, and overall limits related to transfers from the utility system: 1.

Payment in Lieu of Public Asset User Fees. The City shall budget annually the equivalent of a public asset user fee from the Utility Fund that would have been paid had electric, water and sewer services been provided by an investor-owned utility. This fee shall be calculated by multiplying all gross revenues of the electric, water and sewer systems made within the City’s corporate boundaries by the current franchise fee the City charges to private utility providers (5%). The payment in lieu of such fee shall be reported as an expense of the electric, water and sewer system and as a revenue of the General Fund in order to partially support the General Fund expenses related to the City’s utility system.

2.

Payment in Lieu of Taxes. The City shall budget annually the equivalent of a payment in lieu of taxes from the electric, water, and sewer systems to the General Fund that approximates the amount of ad valorem taxes that would have been paid had utility services been provided by an investorowned utility. The payment in lieu of taxes shall be calculated by multiplying the gross fixed assets of the system reported in the City’s most recent audited financial statements by the appropriate assessment ratio and then by the City-wide tax rate included in the City’s most recent budget ordinance. The resulting product shall be multiplied by the estimated percentage of electric, water and sewer fixed assets that are located within the City’s corporate boundaries. The payment in lieu of taxes amount calculated under this section shall be reported as an expense of the electric, water and sewer system and as a revenue of the General Fund in order to partially support the General Fund expenses related to the City’s utility system.

. 3.

272

Payment in Lieu of Rate of Return. The City may budget annually a payment in lieu of a rate of return on the gross operational revenues of the electric, water and sewer systems. This rate of return will be based on 5% of gross utility revenues and may be adjusted by City Council to meet the current competitive utility business environment. The payment in lieu of a rate of return amount

Appendix 4.

calculated under this section shall be reported as an expense of the electric, water and sewer system and as revenue of the General Fund in order to partially support the General Fund expenses related to the City’s utility system. Exceptions and Overall Limit of Transfer. The amount to be paid from the electric, water and sewer systems under this resolution may be increased or reduced upon approval of the City Council so long as the amounts actually paid do not exceed (A) (i) amounts reasonably necessary to cover the City’s Utility system related portion of the General Fund expenses, (ii) amounts required to be set aside under the City’s utility system bond ordinances (including amounts for payment of debt service, amounts for restoration or replacement of depreciated or obsolete properties of the utility system, and amounts for improvements, betterments and extensions to the System), and (iii) amounts necessary to maintain the utility system in good repair and working order, or (B) as otherwise allowed by applicable law.

FP 7: Operational Reporting City staff will provide to the City Council a report on the operating results of the City. All excess revenue collected by the City of Rock Hill that exceeds the projected budget revenue figure from a specific revenue category for each fiscal reporting period must be reported to City Council on a monthly basis. The expenditure of any and all excess revenue will be at Council’s discretion and cannot be utilized within the City budget without Council’s approval. Likewise, all expenditures that exceed the projected budget expense figures in excess of $5,000 on a departmental level must be reported to Council in writing by the next scheduled Council meeting. Expenditures that would cause an increase above the $5,000 cap on a departmental level cannot be made without prior approval of Council. Cost savings that may occur within a specific department can be utilized within that particular department; however, this cost savings cannot be transferred to another department without prior approval of Council. FP 8: Adoption of Balanced Budget The City will annually adopt a Balanced Operating Budget. According to the laws of the State of South Carolina, the City will adopt a balanced operating budget and provide full disclosure when a deviation from a balanced operating budget is planned or when it occurs. This balanced budget will ensure that all operating revenues are equal to, or exceed, all operating expenditures at adoption and at year-end. Any increase in expenses, decrease in revenues, or combination of the two that would result in a budget imbalance will require budget revision, rather than spending unappropriated surpluses or designated reserves to support ongoing operations. Any year end operating surpluses will revert to unappropriated balances. The City of Rock Hill annual budget appropriation will cover the twelve-month period beginning July 1 and ending June 30 of the following year. The proposed budget document is to be presented to the City Council for their consideration no later than June 1 with adoption of the approved ordinance by June 30. According to state law, any required public hearings will be scheduled to receive input on the development of the budget. Special public hearings are also required to consider the issue of a tax increase. Budgets shall be prepared at the department level and provide the basis for the City’s financial management system. The adopted appropriations by fund shall constitute the maximum expenditure authorization for that fund and can be amended only by action of the City Council. The budget shall be developed in conjunction with a stated program of performance objectives and measures with which to gauge progress towards meeting those objectives.

Appendix The following guidelines will be used in the preparation of the budget document: 1. Current appropriations in all funds are limited to the sum of available, unencumbered cash balances and revenues estimated to be received in the current budget period. 2. General Fund expenditures and subsidy appropriations for mandated and priority programs are to be made against current revenue sources, and not dependent upon uncertain reserves or fluctuating prior period cash balances. 3. Special Revenue Funds are supported by special levies and fees, grants or intergovernmental revenues. Expenditures in these funds are strictly limited to the mandates of the funding source. Special Revenue Funds are not to be used to subsidize other funds, except as required or permitted by program regulations. 4. All operations of the Enterprise Fund will be self-supporting entities. The City will conduct an annual review of fee structures, charges for services, and other operating revenues and expenditures. 5. Multi-year operating cost projections shall be prepared and updated each year to identify the impact on resources. 6. A ten-year Capital Improvements Program shall be prepared and updated each year. The operating impact of each project shall be identified and incorporated into annual operating budgets. Capital assets shall be purchased and maintained on a regular schedule. Within legal limits and the constraints of operating budgets, debt shall be issued for the purchase of capital assets, including major renovations. 7. For purposes of this policy, the cash basis of accounting are used in defining revenues and expenditures. 8. It will be the duty of the City Manager to take action to bring the budget into balance if adjustments are needed in the course of a fiscal period.

FP 9: Delivery of Services The City will identify priority services, establish appropriate service levels, and administer the expenditure of available resources to assure fiscal stability and the effective and efficient delivery of services. The City will operate on a current funding basis. Expenditures shall be budgeted and controlled so as not to exceed current revenues plus the planned use of fund balance accumulated through prior years. The City shall take immediate corrective actions if at any time during the fiscal year expenditure and revenue reestimates are such that an operating deficit is projected at year-end. Corrective actions are outlined separately within these policies. Expenditure deferrals into the following fiscal year, short-term loans, or use of one-time revenue sources to balance the budget will be avoided. The Finance Director is charged with performing periodic staff and third-party reviews of City programs for both efficiency and effectiveness. Privatization and contracting with other governmental agencies will be evaluated as alternatives to service delivery. Programs that are determined to be inefficient and/or ineffective are to be reduced in scope or eliminated. The City of Rock Hill makes every effort to maximize any discounts offered by creditors / vendors. Staff shall also use competitive bidding to attain the best possible price on goods and services.

Appendix FP 10: Debt Policy The City will adhere to a debt policy that ensures that debt is issued and managed prudently in order to maintain a sound fiscal position and protect credit quality. Issuing debt commits the City’s revenues several years into the future, and may limit the City’s flexibility to respond to changing service priorities, revenue inflows, or cost structures. A debt policy sets forth the parameters for issuing debt and managing outstanding debt and provides guidance to decision makers regarding the timing and purposes for which debt may be issued, types and amounts of permissible debt, method of sale that may be used and structural features that may be incorporated. The City plans long- and short-term debt issuance to finance its capital program based on its cash flow needs, sources of revenue, capital construction periods, available financing instruments and market conditions. The Director of Finance oversees and coordinates the timing, issuance process and marketing of the City’s borrowing and capital funding activities required in support of the capital improvement plan. This debt policy recognizes a binding commitment to full and timely repayment of all debt as an intrinsic requirement for entry into the capital markets. Adherence to a debt policy helps to ensure that the City maintains a sound debt position and that credit quality is protected. Components of the debt policy are as follows: The City will confine its long-term borrowing to capital improvements and follow a policy of full disclosure on every financial report and bond prospectus. In no case will general obligation debt be used for self-supporting enterprise activity. The City will use voter-approved general obligation debt to fund general-purpose public improvements that cannot be financed from current revenues. Capital Planning. The City will have an annual capital planning process that outlines major projected capital expenditures over the next ten years. The capital budget identifies revenue sources and capital expenditures and projects this information for each of the ten years. This information is updated annually. Financing Team. The City often employs outside financial specialists to assist it in developing a bond issuance strategy, preparing bond documents and marketing bonds to investors. The key players in the City’s financing transactions include its bond counsel, the underwriter and underwriters counsel (on a negotiated sale), the City attorney and City representatives (the Director of Finance and other City representatives as may be appointed by the City Manager). Other outside firms, such as those providing paying agent/registrar, trustee, credit enhancement, auditing, or printing services, are retained as required. The financing team will meet at least annually to review the overall financing strategy of the City and make recommendations to the City Manager. Term of Debt Repayment. Borrowings by the City shall mature over a term that does not exceed the economic life of the improvements that they finance. General Obligation Bonds shall be issued with a term not to exceed 25 years; Revenue Bonds with a term not to exceed 30 years; and tax increment bonds with a term not to exceed 25 years. The City does not finance improvements with a probable useful life less than twenty years, using pay-as-you-go funding for such needs. Call provisions. The City seeks to minimize the protection from optional redemption given to bondholders, consistent with its desire to obtain the lowest possible interest rates on its bonds. The City’s bonds are generally subject to optional redemption. The City seeks early calls at low or no premiums because such features have allowed it in the past to refinance debt more easily for debt service savings when interest

275


Appendix rates dropped. The City will annually evaluate optional redemption provisions for each issue to assure that the City does not pay unacceptably higher interest rates to obtain such advantageous calls. Interest rates. In most cases, the city will use fixed-rate debt to finance it capital needs; however, the City may issue up to 25% of its total debt portfolio in variable rate debt. Method of Sale. The City will select a method of sale that is the most appropriate in light of financial, market, transaction-specific and issuer-related conditions. Competitive Sales. General obligation debt obligations are issued through a competitive sale – according to state law. For these bonds – and any other bonds that the City may deem necessary - the City will set the terms of the sale to encourage as many bidders as possible. By maximizing bidding, the City seeks to obtain the lowest possible interest rates on its bonds. The following conditions may favor the use of a competitive sale: 1. 2. 3. 4.

The market is familiar with the issuer; The issuer is a stable and regular borrower in the public market; There is an active secondary market with a broad investor base for the City’s bonds; The issue has a non-enhanced credit rating of A or above or can obtain a credit enhancement prior to the competitive sale; 5. The debt structure is backed by the issuer’s full faith and credit or a strong, known or historically performing revenue stream; 6. The issue is neither too large to be easily absorbed by the market nor too small to attract investors without a concerted sale effort; 7. The issue does not include complex or innovative features or require explanation as to the bonds’ security; 8. The issue can be sold and closed on a schedule that does not need to be accelerated or shortened for market or policy reasons; and 9. Interest rates are stable, market demand is strong, and the market is able to absorb a reasonable amount of buying or selling at reasonable price changes. Negotiated Sales. When certain conditions favorable for a competitive sale do not exist and when a negotiated sale will provide significant benefits to the City that would not be achieved through a competitive sale, the City may elect to sell its debt obligations through a private or negotiated sale. Such determination may be made on an issue-by-issue basis, for a series of issues, or for part or all of a specific financing program. The following conditions may favor the use of a negotiated sale: 1. 2. 3.

4. 5.

276

Insure fairness by using a competitive underwriter selection process through a request for proposals where multiple proposals are considered; Remain actively involved in each step of the negotiation and sale processes to uphold the public trust; Insure that either an employee of the issuer, or an outside professional other than the issue underwriter, who is familiar with and abreast of the condition of the municipal market, is available to assist in structuring the issue, pricing, and monitoring sales activities; Require that the financial advisor used for a particular bond issue not act as underwriter of the same bond issue; Require that financial professionals disclose the name or names of any person or firm, including attorneys, lobbyists and public relations professionals compensated in connection with a specific bond issue; Request all financial professionals submitting joint proposals or intending to enter into joint accounts or any fee-splitting arrangements in connection with a bond issue to fully disclose to the issuer any plan or arrangements to share tasks, responsibilities and fees earned, and disclose the financial professionals with whom the sharing is proposed, the method used to calculate the fees to be earned, and any changes thereto; and

Appendix 7.

Review the “Agreement among Underwriters” and insure that it is filed with the issuer and that it governs all transactions during the underwriting period.

Refinancing. The City may undertake refinancing of outstanding debt under the following circumstances: Debt Service Savings. The City may refinance outstanding long-term debt when such refinancing allows the City to realize significant debt service savings without lengthening the term of refinanced debt and without increasing debt service in any subsequent fiscal year. Defeasance. The City may refinance outstanding debt, either by advance refunding to the first call or by defeasance to maturity, when the public policy benefits of replacing such debt outweigh the costs associated with new issuance as well as any increase in annual debt service. Conduit Financings. Conduit financings are securities issued by a government agency to finance a project of a third party, such as a non-profit organization or other private entity. The City may sponsor conduit financings for those activities (e.g., economic development, housing) that have a general public purpose and are consistent with the City’s overall service and policy objectives. Unless a compelling public policy rationale exists, such conduit financings will not in any way pledge the City’s faith and credit. Credit Ratings Rating Agency Relationships. The Director of Finance is responsible for maintaining relationships with the rating agencies that assign ratings to the City’s various debt obligations. This effort includes providing periodic updates on the City’s general financial condition along with coordinating meetings and presentations in conjunction with a new debt issuance. Quality of Ratings. The City requests ratings prior to the sale of securities from each of the two major rating agencies for municipal bond issues: Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s Corporation. The City may provide a written and/or oral presentation to the rating agencies to help each credit analyst make an informed evaluation. The City will make every reasonable effort to maintain its high quality credit ratings. Rebate Reporting/Covenant Compliance/Reporting Practices. The Director of Finance is responsible for maintaining a system of record keeping and reporting to meet the arbitrage rebate compliance requirements of the federal tax code. Additionally, general financial reporting and certification requirements embodied in bond covenants are monitored to ensure that all covenants are complied with. The City will comply with the standards of the Government Finance Officers Association for financial reporting and budget presentation and the disclosure requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Checklist of Debt Policy Considerations. The City will observe the following GFOA checklist in determining the appropriateness of debt issuance: 1. How long is the capital planning period? 2. Have all non-debt sources of funds been considered? 3. How are borrowing plans reviewed internally? 4. What level of debt is manageable in order to maintain or improve the government’s credit quality? 5. How much “pay-as-you-go” financing should be included in the capital plan? 6. How much short-term borrowing will be undertaken, including both operating and capital borrowings? 7. How much debt will be issued in the form of variable-rate securities? 8. How does the redemption schedule for each proposed issue affect the overall debt service requirements of the government?

Appendix 9.

What types of affordability guidelines will be established to help monitor and preserve credit quality? 10. What provisions have been made to periodically review the capital plan and borrowing practices? 11. What is the overlapping debt burden on the taxpayer? 12. How will the formal debt policies be integrated into the capital planning and funding process?

FP 11: Debt Limit The city will establish thresholds for the maximum amount of debt and debt service that should be outstanding at any one time. Policies guiding the amount of debt that may be issued by a government help ensure that outstanding and planned debt levels do not exceed an amount that can be supported by the existing and projected tax and revenue base. Because of this, the City has developed distinct policies for general obligation debt, debt supported by revenues of government enterprises, and other types of debt such as special assessment bonds, tax increment financing bonds, short-term debt, variable-rate debt, and leases. General Obligation Debt Affordability Measures. The City examines four statistical measures to determine debt capacity and compares these ratios to other cities, rating agency standards and Rock Hill’s historical ratios to determine debt affordability. This is the only measure that is prescribed by state law, which provides that the City’s general obligation debt cannot exceed 8% of the City’s total assessed value (excluding tax anticipation notes and other indebtedness with a maturity of one year or less; bonds or other indebtedness of the City payable from taxes levied from special taxing areas; and self-supporting bonds or other debt.) Total general obligation debt as measured against the population on a per-capita basis cannot exceed $225. Total annual general obligation debt as measured as a percent of current expenditures cannot exceed 12%. Utility Enterprise Debt Affordability Measures. The City’s Revenue debt level shall not exceed a debt service coverage ratio of 1.20 times of the annual net pledged revenues to annual debt service. In addition, additional bonds should not have a negative impact on the City’s overall credit ratings. Tax Increment Debt Affordability Measures. The City’s Tax Increment debt level shall not exceed the current available revenues or revenues projected within the district from projects that have obtained a building permit. FP 12: Contingency Planning The City will develop practices to guide the financial actions it will take in the event of emergencies, natural disasters, or other unexpected events. When emergencies or unexpected events occur, having a policy that can be applied, or at least serve as a starting point, for financial decisions and actions improves the ability of a government to take timely action and aids in the overall management of such situations. Policies on contingency planning are used as a general guide when an emergency or unexpected event occurs. A set of actions and strategies are identified for each type of situation. Examples of financial emergencies that require contingency plans are sudden and severe decreases in locally collected revenues or intergovernmental aid, and unexpected major capital maintenance requirements. Development of a contingency plan in advance of such situations may be viewed positively by the rating agencies when evaluating a government’s credit quality. This can also help expedite relief efforts when an emergency does occur and allow the government to recover funds more quickly or more effectively in the event of a natural disaster.

Appendix The following is a summary of the phase classifications and the corresponding actions to be taken. Alert. An anticipated net reduction in available reserves or reduction in major revenue source(s) from 1% up to 9%. The actions associated with this phase would best be described as delaying expenditures where reasonably possible, while maintaining the "Same Level" of service. Each department will be responsible for monitoring its individual budgets to ensure that only essential expenditures are made.

Minor. A reduction in reserves in excess of 9%, but less than 23%. The objective at this level is still to maintain "Same Level" of service where possible. Actions associated with this level would be: a. Implementing the previously determined "Same Level" Budget. b. Intensifying the review process for large items such as contract services, consulting services, and capital expenditures including capital improvements. c. Closely scrutinizing hiring for vacant positions, delaying the recruitment process, and using temporary help to fill in where possible. Moderate. A reduction in reserves in excess of 23%, but less than 50%. Initiating cuts of service levels by: a. Requiring greater justification for large expenditures. b. Deferring capital expenditures. c. Reducing CIP appropriations from the affected fund. d. Hiring to fill vacant positions only with special justification and authorization. e. Closely monitoring and reducing expenditures for travel, seminars, retreats and bonuses. Major. A reduction in reserves of 50% to 100%. Implementation of major service cuts. a. Instituting a hiring freeze. b. Reducing the temporary work force. c. Deferring merit wage increases. d. Further reducing capital expenditures. e. Preparing a strategy for reduction in force. Crisis. Reserves have been 100% depleted and potential for having a deficit is present. a. Implementing reduction in force or other personnel cost-reduction strategies. b. Eliminating programs. c. Eliminating capital improvements. In the event that an economic uncertainty is expected to last for consecutive years, the cumulative effect of the projected reduction in reserves will be used for determining the appropriate phase and corresponding actions. FP 13: Accounting Functions The City of Rock Hill will perform accounting functions that shall conform to the generally accepted accounting principles as applicable to governments. The diverse nature of governmental operations and the necessity of assuring legal compliance preclude recording all governmental financial transactions and balances in a single accounting entity. Therefore, from an accounting and financial management viewpoint, a governmental unit is a combination of several distinctly different fiscal and accounting entities, each having a separate set of accounts and functioning independently of each other. The City will comply with prevailing federal, state, and local statutes and regulations. The City will also conform to generally accepted accounting principles as promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), and the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA).

Appendix In general, it will be the policy of the City to: Prepare and present regular reports that analyze, evaluate, and forecast the City’s financial performance and economic conditions. This information will be made available to the public for their inspection. With available resources, the City will seek out and employ the assistance of qualified financial advisors and consultants in the management and administration of the City’s financial functions. An independent audit will be performed annually. The City will issue annual financial reports in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as outlined in the Governmental Accounting, Auditing and Financial Reporting (GAAFR) publication. The basis of accounting refers to the point at which revenues or expenditures/expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. It relates to the timing of the measurements made regardless of the measurement focus applied. As in the basis of budgeting, accounting records for the City of Rock Hill governmental funds are maintained on a modified accrual basis with the revenues being recorded when available and measurable and expenditures being recorded when the services or goods are received and the liabilities are incurred. In contrast to the basis of budgeting, accounting records for proprietary funds are maintained on the accrual basis in which revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred. The City of Rock Hill’s accounting system is organized and operated on a "fund" basis. Each accounting entity is accounted for in a separate "fund” which is defined as a fiscal accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts recording cash and other financial resources together with related liabilities and residual equities or balances, and changes therein. Two fund types defined in the “Description of Budgeted Funds are further defined below as well as the addition of Fiduciary Funds. Classification Fund Type Governmental Funds General Special Revenue Debt Service Capital Projects Proprietary Funds Enterprise Fiduciary Funds Agency Expendable Trust Governmental Funds. These funds are, in essence, accounting segregations of financial resources. Expendable assets are assigned to the various governmental funds according to the purposes for which they may or must be used; current liabilities are assigned to the fund from which they are to be paid; and the differences between governmental fund assets and liabilities (the fund equity) is referred to as "Fund Balance". The primary measurement focus is “flow of current financial resources.” Increases in spendable resources are reported in the operating statement as revenues or other financing sources, and decreases are reported as expenditures or other financing uses. Proprietary Funds. These funds are sometimes referred to as "income determination," "non expendable," or "commercial type" funds and are used to account for a government's on-going organizations and activities which are similar to those often found in the private sector. All assets, liabilities, equities, revenues, expenses, and transfers relating to the government's business and quasibusiness activities, where net income and capital maintenance are measured, are accounted for through proprietary funds. The generally accepted accounting principles here are those applicable to similar businesses in the private sector, and the measurement focus is the economic condition of the fund as a result of the events and transactions of the period. Events and transactions that improve the economic position of a proprietary fund are reported as revenues or gains in the operating statement. Those that diminish the economic position are reported as expenses or losses.

Appendix Fiduciary Funds. These funds account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity or as an agent for other governmental units and for other funds. Each trust fund is accounted for as either a governmental or a proprietary fund. Fiduciary funds are not budgeted in the annual budget process. Account Groups. These represent another accounting entity used to establish control and accountability for the City's general fixed assets and the outstanding principal of its general long-term debt (General Fixed Assets Account Group and General Long- Term Debt Account Group). These records are accounted for in a self-expenditures. The outstanding principal of the general long-term debt and general long-term liabilities not accounted for in the Proprietary Funds or Trust Funds do not require an appropriation or expenditure during the account year. Internal Control. In developing and maintaining the City's accounting system, consideration is given to the adequacy of internal accounting controls. Internal accounting controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition and the reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived, and the evaluation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. All internal control evaluations occur within the above framework. We believe that the City's internal accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of proper recording of financial transactions. FP 14: Economic Development Incentive Policy The City of Rock Hill will provide economic development incentives with the goals of targeting economic and geographic sectors; promoting business retention and recruitment; encouraging job creation; increasing property tax revenue; and improving blight, economically distressed areas, and environmental conditions. In general, it will be the policy of the City to maintain a fund, replenish the fund, and provide financial incentives programs in accordance with the strategic goals of the City. Financial Incentive Programs: Growth Management Incentives Façade Grants Job Creation Land Acquisition Environmental Testing and/or Cleanup Gap Financing Infrastructure extensions Other Business Incentives at the discretion of the City Council Guidelines for Limits to Incentives: Growth Management incentives: as approved by City Council in the Growth Management Incentive Policy Façade Grants: to specific geographic areas Infrastructure: in general, to a 5 year payback from Utility revenues Fund Establishment and Replenishment: The Economic Development Incentive Fund was established from the land sale proceeds of City property in the Dave Lyle/Manchester area.

Appendix Performance Monitoring: The effectiveness of the overall economic development incentive fund and each project funded shall be measured and reported annually to ensure that the overall goals of the program are met. FP 15: Written Procedures Related to the Issuance of Tax-Exempt Bonds Post-issuance tax compliance begins with the debt issuance process itself and provides for a continuing focus on investments of bond proceeds and use of bond-financed property. It requires identifying existing policies, the responsible people, the applicable procedures, and the affected population. I. Procedures The City Manager or the Chief Financial Officer (the “City Representative”) of the City of Rock Hill, South Carolina (the “City”) will be responsible for post-issuance tax compliance and steps to be taken to transfer that responsibility and accumulated information in the future. The City Representative may delegate to his/her staff responsibility for different aspects, for example investment of bond proceeds and expenditure of bond proceeds on projects, coordinate record-keeping and review; however, the City Representative will be ultimately responsible. II.

Issuance

The City Representative will: Obtain and store the Transcript of Proceedings prepared by bond counsel. Confirm filing of Form 8038-G with the Internal Revenue Service, usually overseen by bond counsel at or soon after closing. III.

Recordkeeping

The City Representative will: Establish plan for keeping relevant books and records as to investment and expenditure of bond proceeds. Keep accurate records including: - Basic records relating to the bond transactions (including the bond ordinances, closing certificates, and bond counsel opinion); - Documentation evidencing expenditure of bond proceeds; - Documentation evidencing use of bond-financed property by public and private sources (i.e., copies of management contracts use agreements); - Documentation evidencing all sources of payment or security for the bonds; and - Documentation pertaining to any investment of bond proceeds (including the purchase and sale of securities, SLGS subscriptions, yield calculations for each class of investments, actual investment income received from the investment of proceeds, guaranteed investment contracts, and rebate calculations). Keep all records in a manner that ensures their complete access to the IRS so long as they are material. While this is typically accomplished through the maintenance of hard copies, records may be kept in an electronic format if certain requirements are satisfied, in accordance with the guidelines in Rev Proc 97-22, 1997-1 C.B. 652. Keep records for as long as the bonds are outstanding plus three years after the final redemption date of the bonds.

Appendix IV.

Arbitrage

The City Representative will: Engage services of an arbitrage/rebate consultant for assistance in compliance with arbitrage related issues. Monitor compliance with “temporary period expectations” for expenditure of bond proceeds, typically three years for new money bonds, and provide for yield restriction of investments or “yield reduction payments” if expectations are not satisfied. Ensure investments acquired with bond proceeds are purchased at fair market value. This can include use of bidding procedures under regulatory safe harbor. Consult with the City’s bond counsel prior to the creation of funds which would reasonably be expected to be used to pay debt service on bonds to determine in advance whether such funds must be invested at restricted yield. Consult with the City’s bond counsel before engaging in post-issuance credit enhancement transactions (e.g., bond insurance, letter of credit) or hedging transactions (e.g., interest rate swap, cap). Consult with the City’s bond counsel and arbitrage consultant to identify situations in which compliance with applicable yield restrictions depends upon later investments, (e.g., purchase of 0% SLGS from U.S. Treasury), and monitor implementation. Work with the City’s arbitrage consultant to arrange for timely computation of rebate liability and, if rebate is payable, for timely filing of Form 8038-T and payment of rebate. Rebate is ordinarily due at 5-year intervals. The arbitrage consultant’s report will be reviewed by bond counsel. V.

Private Use of Bonds-Funded Facilities

The City Representative will: Create and maintain records of which proceeds of bond issues were used to finance which facilities. These records shall track refunding or partial refunding of any bond issues. Accurately record the allocation of bond proceeds to expenditures, including reimbursements. These records will be used for arbitrage purposes. Record the allocation of bond proceeds and funds from other sources in connection with any bond funded project. Review expenditure of bond proceeds with bond counsel to ensure bond proceeds are used for qualifying costs. Keep records of private use, if any, of bond financed facilities to ensure the amount of private use of bond financed facilities. Private use of bond-financed facilities shall be reviewed once a year (in connection with the preparation of annual financial statements). If a change in private use occurs, bond counsel will be consulted to determine if remedial action is necessary. Review with bond counsel prior to the sale or lease of a bond-financed facility, or the granting of a license or management contract, or any other arrangement allowing private use of a bond financed facility.

Appendix VI.

Reissuance

The City Representative will: Consult with bond counsel to identify any post-issuance change to the terms of bonds which could be treated as a current refunding of “old” bonds by “new” bonds, often referred to as a “reissuance.” Consult with bond counsel to determine whether any “remedial action” in connection with a “change of use” must be treated as a “reissuance.”
