HOW TO READ THIS DOCUMENT You are holding the published City of Mansfield Budget for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2016 and ending September 30, 2017. This document has been prepared to help you, the reader, learn of the issues affecting the Mansfield community. Many people believe a City budget is only a financial plan. Although you can learn much of the City’s financial portfolio, the 2016-2017 Budget Document has been designed to serve other functions as well. The budget is a policy document as it presents major policies that guide how the City is managed. The budget also is an operational guide that gives the public, elected officials and City Staff information pertaining to the production and performance of individual departments. The budget is drafted as a communication device: information is conveyed verbally and visually in a way that should be easy to understand, even by those unfamiliar with the City of Mansfield.

THE BUDGET FORMAT The Budget Document is divided into four major sections: Introductory, Financial/Operational, Budget Summary and Attachments. The introductory section contains the City Manager’s letter addressed to City Council, which explains the major issues and policies that affected the development of the FY2016-2017 budget. This section also describes the City’s goals, a synopsis of the City’s major projects and the City’s overall organizational structure. The Financial/Operational section describes various aspects of the City’s organizational structure as well as fund and department group information. The City of Mansfield uses the fund method of accounting. A fund is a unit that tracks the application of public resources. For example, the Utility Fund is established to keep track of revenues and expenses within the Utility Division. Most interest is in the General Fund which includes City operations: General Government, Business Services, Police, Fire, Planning, Development Services, Public Works and Parks/Community Services. Financial statements are provided for each fund. The financial statement shows the beginning balances, revenues, expenditures, and ending balances for the year. Accompanying the statements are narratives and illustrations that describe the major aspects of a particular fund. There may be one or more departments that comprise each fund. Each department is presented with a mission statement, a brief synopsis of the key departmental increases or decreases, a listing of the unit’s accomplishments for the previous fiscal year and operational objectives for the 2016-2017 fiscal year. Selected performance measures for each department are presented. The funding and staffing for each department are summarized for a number of years. The Budget Summary section provides details on individual funds including Enterprise Funds and Capital Improvement Funds. Finally, various attachments are presented towards the back of the document that include adopted budget and tax rate ordinances, major companies, historical analysis of the tax rate, acronyms and a Glossary of Terms. Please contact the City’s Business Services Division for questions related to the 2016-2017 Budget Document at 817-276-4262.

September 8, 2016 To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: The Administration is pleased to present to you the City of Mansfield’s Operating and Capital Improvement Programs for Fiscal Year 2016-2017. This document is a comprehensive, in-depth and easy to read text that provides the foundation and footing for the entire organization’s fiscal activities during the next year. The Budget Document reflects current industry trends using performance measurement data and expanded illustrations to enhance the overall readability of the document.  It represents a statement of the City’s Fiscal Policies.  It represents a statement of the City’s Service Policies.  It accommodates the City’s revised Strategic Plan.  It communicates priorities of the citizens, Council, and Management for Fiscal Year 2016-2017 and the future. The accompanying statements and analysis tell a great story about the strength of our economy and the dividends that each citizen is receiving as a result of good planning and good management of fiscal resources. It is a story that has been told many times to the rating services, to prospective industries, and other agencies. By nature, the Budget Message contains forward-looking projections. An examination of past projections and estimates add credibility to what is presented. The City of Mansfield is committed to conservative budgeting practices, including utilizing one time revenues for one time expenditures, developing new revenue sources, adding staff as needed in public safety, and managing operational costs while maintaining current service levels. We have grown revenue, improved debt ratios, increased financial reserves, expanded the tax base, built the local economy, realized higher per capita incomes and maintained the current tax rate of .71 cents. Our outlook for long term growth is positive, and we remain cautious based on the current economic environment. We continue to budget both revenues and expenditures conservatively but with anticipated projected increases in new retail, residential and commercial construction. City Council, working with staff, is committed to quality development. This has only been accomplished through the committed efforts of many individuals making tough business decisions to ensure that our goals to create value are maintained. More specifically, the City Council has been aggressive in establishing impact fees or development fees that require new development to pay for its share of new improvements and services. Tough decisions requiring minimum standards in the zoning of properties and types of construction have created values that have benefited not only the City, but also the Mansfield Independent School District. Economic development efforts have resulted in several new commercial and industrial developments including Klein Tools, Kroger Marketplace, Villas Di Luca and many other projects currently in progress. New public/private partnerships including the Fieldhouse project and Dallas Stars Center project continue to add quality recreation venues to our parks and recreation system. Simply put, the efforts of the City Council, the Planning and Zoning Commission, the Mansfield Economic Development Corporation, the Mansfield Park Facilities Development Corporation and all other boards and commissions have assisted the entire management team in building quality and value. Quality builders are attracted to this community, its services and its school system. Commercial and retail developers are keenly interested in the City’s progressive development policies.

Public Input The City conducted two public hearings on August 22 and August 29, 2016. Citizen input was heard during the allocation of the Hotel/Motel revenues.

CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDS Historically, the Capital Improvement Program has preceded development in all areas of the City. The Capital Improvement Program is developed with the following guidelines whenever possible: The Capital Improvement Program is developed to match costs against expenses occurring in corresponding periods of time. In other words, the development and timing of infrastructure improvements is crucial to maintaining current and future developments while maintaining or lowering debt ratios. Since 1995, development fees have funded approximately $99,012,735 in improvements. Development fees offset the amount of borrowings in the Street and Utility funds. The impact of infrastructure improvements on operating and maintenance costs is evaluated and measured annually during the budget development process and during revisions to the Long Term Financial Plan. Operating and Maintenance cost impacts in FY 2016-2017 are reflected in increased utility costs, staffing increases and to additional service requirements related to expansion of existing facilities, new facilities and transmission lines.

THE CITY OF MANSFIELD BUDGET PROCESS THE CITY’S ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Every staff member plays a role in budgeting, whether in its formation, implementation, administration or evaluation. Ultimately, of course, each department manager through the City Manager is accountable to the City Council and citizens for the performance of departmental staff in meeting specific objectives. Actual budget responsibility can be identified specifically as follows: The Department Manager is responsible for preparing an estimate of remaining cost requirements for the current fiscal year, projecting the base budget requirements for the next fiscal year and developing other requests that change or revise the program so that it will be more effective, efficient, productive and economical. The Departmental Administrative Support Staff serves as a vital communication link between the department and the budget staff. Support staff is responsible for coordinating information, checking to see if forms are completed properly, making sure necessary supporting documentation is submitted, monitoring the internal review process to meet timelines, gathering performance measurement information, entering departmental budgets into the City’s financial system and serving as the departmental troubleshooter for problems throughout the budget process. The Strategic Plan Committee is comprised of staff from each major division of the City and is responsible for the planning, development and presentation of the City’s modified capital and operational strategic plan. The Strategic Plan Committee presents recommendations to the Deputy City Manager, Budget Director and the City Manager for review. The Division Directors, Deputy City Managers and Department Directors are responsible for reviewing historical performance, anticipating future problems and opportunities, considering alternative solutions and modifying and assembling their departmental data into a cohesive budget information package. Division Directors critically evaluate all requests, prioritize, and submit a budget plan including only those requests that support City Council priorities, City Manager work plan, administrative direction and the departmental mission and objectives. Performance measures are evaluated to determine the effectiveness of individual divisions and departments. The Deputy City Manager, Assistant Finance Director and Budget Director within the Business Services Division are responsible for preparing short and long range revenue and expenditure forecasts, gathering and evaluating performance measures, calculating departmental projected budget targets, assisting departments, reviewing departmental budgets with department directors or staff, collating, analyzing and summarizing departmental requests and preparing budget review materials for the Executive Staff and City Council. The City Manager’s and Deputy City Managers’ key role is to translate City Council goals and objectives into recommended funding decisions. The City Manager is responsible for reviewing the total financial and operational program, formulating a City-wide proposed budget and proposing a budget to City Council.

37


The City Council is responsible for the review of the City Manager’s proposed budget, approval of the tax rate and approval of the final budget. The City charter requires adoption of the final budget no later than September 15 of each fiscal year. BUDGET PROCESS The budget process is the key to the development of the City of Mansfield’s overall strategic plan and affords individual departments the opportunity to reassess goals and objectives, evaluate programs using performance measurement data and develop strategies to accomplish them. Even though the budget may be reviewed by the City Council in July and August and adopted in September, its preparation begins at least eight months prior, with projection of City fund balances, revenue and expenditure forecasts, citizens, boards, commissions and departmental needs assessments. It is with this groundwork that the departmental requests are made and subsequently reviewed. The following summary provides a brief description of the various phases of the budget process and timeframes in which the budget preparation, review and adoption takes place. BUDGET PHASES Priority Needs Assessment Phase - This is the foundation of assessing what the current and projected programmatic and operational needs of each department are as seen by the Citizens of Mansfield, City Council, Boards, Commissions and individual division/department directors. City Staff and City Council reviews occur during this phase to identify and prioritize the needs and desires of each group. Community feedback is an important component of the budget process in assessing citizen satisfaction with services and establishing priorities for the upcoming budget year. Updates to the Strategic Plan normally occur during this period and are presented to Council during the budget process. City Council has identified the need to maintain and upgrade maintenance of the City’s right of ways and medians, increase architectural standards for new development, create more neighborhood and linear parks, encourage more retail, commercial and industrial development within the City, implement and continue the Capital Improvement Program, and provide additional police and fire staff. Financial Trend Analysis Phase - an integral part of Mansfield’s decision-making process that includes both short and long-range economic and financial forecasts. In fiscal year 2000, the City developed a 10Year Strategic Plan that is updated annually and modified to integrate the City’s operational and capital requirements with both a short term and long-term goals. City infrastructure needs are identified during this process and play an important role in the forecasting related to short and long term operating needs. During this phase, strategic forecasting assumptions are made including changes in fund balance projections, revenue, expenditure, compensation adjustments and costs adjustments. Preliminary assumptions result in the City’s forecasted fiscal capacity and provide a balanced financial framework upon which operating (departmental) and capital (infrastructure projects) budget targets can be developed. Policy/Strategy Development Phase - City Council’s goals and directives set the tone for the development of the budget. The Council identifies key policy issues that will provide the direction of the budget. The Strategic Planning Committee updates the City’s 10-Year Strategic Plan, identifying critical objectives and the strategies to be employed in meeting those objectives. It is within this framework that the department’s budget plans are formulated. The City Council identifies needs to establish priorities, identify existing service levels and review financial and economic trends and forecasts. City Council also discusses policy direction with the Executive Staff. Budget Development Phase - Based upon City Council’s priorities and strategic policy direction, departments develop program objectives and work plans for the budget period. The Budget Department

38


submits to each department their prior year and year-to-date expenditures for review. Base budgets are then developed which represent existing service levels and adjustments for price changes, inflation and/or compensation adjustments. Departmental staff is asked to evaluate programs and positions. Departmental staff reviews service level requirements and makes decisions regarding new programs, increased or decreased staffing and changing resource allocation. Departments use the Strategic Plan to identify additional staffing requirements and obtain appropriate salary levels for each proposed new staff member. The Deputy City Manager, Assistant Finance Director and Budget Director review all budget data submissions from individual departments to ensure each department has submitted accurate and concise data. Budget Review and Modification Phase - The Budget Director sets a budget calendar and schedules meetings with each department/division director. Individual meetings occur with most departments at least twice prior to budget workshops with City Council. Budget requests are reviewed and recommendations for each department are reviewed during this phase. New staffing, operational expenditures, revenue projections and capital requests are reviewed to determine the overall resources available to fund departmental requests. Performance measures are reviewed to determine the overall effectiveness of each departmental program. City Council and City Manager priorities and goals are reviewed with individual departments to ensure that individual budgets reflect the priorities set by City Council and the City Manager. Recommendations are then forwarded to the City Manager for review. Adoption Phase - A proposed operational and financial plan is presented to City Council through a schedule of budget workshops prior to public hearings. The City Staff communicates the proposed budget to the citizens during these workshops in the form of power point presentations, handouts, cable access recordings or a combination of these formats. Public Hearings are held and City Council adopts the tax levy and budget consistent with the City Charter and State law. Implementation Phase - Departments are accountable for budgetary controls throughout the fiscal year. Expenditure patterns are examined, compared to budget plans, and corrective action is taken as necessary during the fiscal year. The Finance team reviews the budgeted revenues, expenditures, and current demographic, economic and financial trends monthly that may impact the City and plan strategy to ensure the City’s financial integrity. City Council is also provided a monthly financial report disclosing the City’s actual revenue, expenditure and fund balance performance as compared to the budget plan. REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE BUDGET The City Council considers the proposed budget and holds budget workshops and public hearings in August and September. The budget workshops provide an opportunity for City management, directors and the general public to offer information and recommendations to the City Council. Legally, the 2016-2017 budget must be adopted by September 15th. City Charter requires three public readings of the budget ordinance before it is adopted by City Council. The adoption of the budget ordinance authorizes expenditures from all funds within the City including the General, Debt Service, Enterprise, Special Revenue, and Capital funds. The City’s fiscal year begins October 1st and ends September 30th of each year. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BUDGET Upon adoption, the staff prepares the operating budget, incorporating all changes authorized by City Council. Each division is advised of the approved budget for their departments.

39


AMENDMENT TO THE BUDGET The City of Mansfield operating budget is adopted at the department level. Any transfers between departments or projects over $5,000 may require City Council approval. Any change orders to budgeted capital improvement projects must be approved by City Council. USE OF CONTINGENCY RESERVE When additional funding is required to offset unexpected revenue shortfalls, unexpected expenditure increases or events that threaten the public health or safety, contingency operating funds may be authorized by the City Manager and/or City Council so that budgeted service levels can be maintained. BUDGETARY AND ACCOUNTING BASIS The operating budget is developed by fund using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) except that depreciation and amortization are not budgeted. All funds are budgeted on a modified accrual basis. OPERATING AND CAPITAL BUDGET RELATIONSHIP/ORGANIZATION The City of Mansfield Budget for Fiscal Year 2016-2017 is comprised of: The operating budget, which includes all departmental budgets - General Fund, Debt Service Funds, Enterprise Funds, Special Revenue Funds and Capital Projects Funds. The operating budget includes portions of the City’s Strategic Plan that includes both operational and capital requirements. The operating budget includes a balanced financial plan for all funds for fiscal year 2016-2017 and forecasts the results of operations by fund for the period. The effect of the Capital Improvement Program upon operations is reflected in the Capital Projects Fund. The operating budget includes fund summaries and presentations by City operating departments without regard to fund. Each division is divided into operating departments, and a budget summary by department is included for each division. Performance measures are incorporated for each department within each division. The Capital Project Fund is presented on a budget basis. The Capital Fund Projects include the Street Construction Fund, Utility Construction Fund, Building Construction Fund, Parks Construction Fund, Environmental Services Construction Fund and Equipment Replacement Fund. State Law requires an adequate budget to pay for the entire construction contract and appropriated in the period in which the contract is entered; therefore, expenditures are presented on a budget basis as opposed to cash flow basis. Funding sources for the Capital Improvement Program are presented on a budget basis. The revenue sources are presented in the period that the funding will be realized in order to provide continuity between the operating budget and the capital budget. As a result of presenting on a budgetary basis, funding sources may not equal budgeted expenditures in each period, creating a fund balance as cash accumulates for larger expenditures in later years.

BASIS OF BUDGETING AND ACCOUNTING IN SUMMARY The City of Mansfield’s “Basis of Budgeting” for all funds is based upon a modified accrual basis of accounting. The modified accrual basis is a combination of cash and accrual accounting in that expenditures are immediately incurred as a liability while revenues are not recorded until actually received or are measurable and available for expenditure. The operating budget is developed by fund utilizing Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) except that depreciation and amortization are not budgeted. A complete description is provided below. BALANCED BUDGET POLICY The City of Mansfield has adopted a balanced budget for all funds. Current appropriations in all funds are limited to the sum available, unencumbered cash balances and revenues estimated to be received in the current budget period. Expenditure 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 fund balances. To the extent possible, current operations will be funded by current revenues. The use of unencumbered prior period balances in all funds shall be scrutinized and carefully limited and subject to review by the City Manager and City Council. Fund Organization The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts. Governmental resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purpose for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPES: General Fund The General Fund is the operating fund of the City. All general tax revenues and other receipts that are not restricted by law or contractual agreement to some other fund are accounted for in this fund. General operating expenditures, the fixed charges, and the capital improvement costs that are not paid through other funds are paid from the General Fund. Special Revenues Funds The Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue resources (other than major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. These funds include Hotel/Motel Tax, Mansfield Park Facilities Development Corporation (MPFDC), The Mansfield Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) and the Tree Mitigation Fund. Debt Service Funds The Debt Service Funds include the General Debt Service Fund, Water & Sewer, Environmental Services Fund, MPFDC and MEDC. These funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for and the payment of principal and interest on general long-term debt and revenue bond debt. The primary sources of revenues are ad valorem taxes which are levied by the City for the General Debt Service Fund, sales

42


tax for the MPFDC and MEDC Debt Service Funds, and user fees for the Water & Sewer Funds and Environmental Service Funds. Capital Projects Funds The Capital Projects Funds account for the financial resources to be used for the acquisition of capital facilities other than those recorded in Proprietary Funds. The Capital Projects Funds are used to account for the acquisitions of capital facilities financed from general obligation bond proceeds or certificate of obligation proceeds, or transfers from other funds. The City's Capital Projects Funds consist of the following funds: Street Improvement, Utility Improvement, Building Construction, Park Construction, Equipment Replacement, and Economic Development. TIRZ (Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone) The Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone is a specific fund designated to capture the tax increment in a defined geographic zone. The tax increment is to pay for the public improvements specific to the zone or area defined by ordinance. Any increase in value or property value increment may be used to pay for the debt for these public improvements or be used to reimburse the developer for the public improvements paid for by the developer on behalf of the City. PROPRIETARY FUND TYPES: Enterprise Funds The Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises where the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis are financed through user charges. The City's Enterprise Funds are the Water & Sewer Fund, Environmental Services Fund and the Law Enforcement Center Fund. These funds are accounted for on a full accrual basis of accounting. BUDGET CONTROL As set forth in the City Charter, the City Council adopts an annual budget prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The City Manager may transfer part or all of any unencumbered appropriation balance among programs within a department. The City Council may require their approval of these transfers above a limit they wish to establish. All unused appropriations, except appropriations for capital expenditures, lapse at the close of the fiscal year to the extent they have not been expended or encumbered. An appropriation for a capital expenditure shall continue in force until the purpose for which it was made has been accomplished or abandoned. The purpose of any such appropriation shall be deemed abandoned if three years pass without any disbursement from or encumbrance of the appropriation. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. All governmental funds are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus. All proprietary funds are accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement focus utilizing a Modified Accrual basis of accounting.

43


Governmental Fund Types - All governmental funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis, revenues and other financial resource increments are recognized when they become susceptible to accrual, that is, when they become both "measurable" and "available" to finance expenditures of the current period. "Measurable" means that amounts can be reasonably determined within the current period. "Available" means that amounts are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. Proprietary Fund Types - Revenues and expenses are recognized using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they are earned, and expenses are recognized in the period incurred following the economic resources measurement focus. FINANCIAL REPORTING AND POLICIES Financial and Operational Policies The City of Mansfield, Texas has developed financial and operational policies which guided the development of the budget for fiscal year 2016-2017. The budget has been developed using an analysis of historical data, current data and forecasted data. The staff identified areas of growth and future needs in each department. The staff put in place several policies and procedures which determine the overall budget including expected population growth, expansion of services, debt service requirements, capital improvements, operational maintenance requirements, and staffing level requirements. Each department is evaluated as to current needs and the projected needs in the next budget year and the following nine years. Availability of funds is considered to determine what areas may need additional funding. A complete prior year analysis and future analysis is utilized to determine what areas may be increased, decreased or remain constant for the upcoming year. Individual departments are required to submit departmental budgets for the upcoming fiscal year. The Business Services Department reviews individual budgets and creates a priority list for each department based on department and administration considerations. The budget for each department is reviewed by the City Manager's office to ensure each department is properly funded. The budget’s operational and financial policies are reviewed throughout the year. Financial Reporting Policy Following the conclusion of the fiscal year, the Business Services Department shall prepare a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) in accordance with generally accepted accounting and financial reporting principles established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and the SEC. The document shall also satisfy all criteria of the Government Finance Officers Association’s Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting. The City has implemented GASB 34, 43, 45 & 54. Monthly, semiannual and quarterly reports on the City’s finances are reported to City Council. The CAFR shall show the status of the City’s finances on the basis of General Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The CAFR shall show fund revenues and expenditures on both a GAAP basis and budget basis for comparison purposes. In all but two cases, this reporting conforms to the way the City prepares its budget: compensated absences (accrued but unused sick leave) are not reflected in the budget but are accounted for in the CAFR’s long-term debt position; and depreciation is not shown in the budget’s proprietary funds, although the full purchase price of equipment and capital improvements is reflected as uses of working capital. Included as part of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report are the results of the annual audit prepared by independent Certified Public Accountants designated by City Council. The Business

44


Services Department shall issue a report monthly to the Council reflecting the City’s financial condition for the month. The monthly report shall present the financial condition of the City in a user friendly and understandable format consistent with the budget. Revenue Policies To protect the City’s financial integrity, the City will maintain a diversified and stable revenue system to shelter it from fluctuations in any one revenue source. For every annual budget, the City shall levy two property tax rates: operation/maintenance and debt service. The debt service levy shall be sufficient for meeting all current principal and interest payments. The debt service levy and related debt service expenditures shall be accounted for in the Debt Service Fund. The operation and maintenance levy shall be accounted for in the General Fund. The City will maintain a policy of levying the lowest tax rate on the broadest tax base. Minimal exemptions will be provided to homeowners, senior citizens, and disabled veterans. The City will establish user charges and fees at a level that attempts to recover the full cost of providing the service. User fees, particularly utility rates, should identify the relative costs of service for different classes of customers. When possible, utility rates should be designed to reduce peak (hour and day) demands on the utility systems. The City will make every reasonable attempt to ensure accurate measurements of variables impacting taxes and fees (e.g. verification of business sales tax payments, verification of appraisal district property values, and accuracy of water meters.) The City will attempt to maximize the application of its financial resources by obtaining supplementary funding through agreements with other public and private agencies for the provision of public services or the construction of capital improvements. The City will consider other market rates and charges levied by other public and private organizations for similar services in establishing tax rates, fees and charges. When developing the annual budget, the Business Services Department shall project revenues from every source based on actual collections from the preceding year and estimated collections of the current fiscal year, while taking into account known circumstances which will impact revenues for the new fiscal year. The revenue projections for each fund should be made conservatively. Operating Expenditure Policies Operating expenditures shall be accounted, reported, and budgeted for in the following major categories: operating, recurring expenditures including personnel services, supplies, maintenance, contractual services, and capital replacement/lease. The annual budget shall appropriate sufficient funds for operating, recurring expenditures necessary to maintain established quality and scope of City services. The City will constantly examine the methods for providing public services in order to reduce operating, recurring expenditures and/or enhance quality and scope of public services with no increase in cost. Personnel service expenditures will reflect the minimum staffing needed to provide established quality and scope of City services. To attract and retain employees necessary for providing high-quality service, the City shall maintain a compensation and benefit package competitive with the public and, when

45


quantifiable, private service industries. Supply expenditures shall be sufficient for ensuring the optimal productivity of City employees. Maintenance expenditures shall be sufficient for addressing the deterioration of the City’s capital assets to ensure the optimal productivity of the capital assets. Maintenance should be conducted to ensure a relatively stable level of maintenance expenditures for every budget year. The City will utilize contract labor for the provision of City services whenever private contractors can perform the established level of service at less expense. The City will regularly evaluate its agreements with private contractors to ensure the established levels of service are performed at the least expense to the City. Existing capital equipment shall be replaced when needed to ensure the optimal productivity of City employees. Existing capital equipment associated with General Fund operations in excess of $5,000 will be charged to individual departments who purchase those items. Expenditures for additional capital equipment shall be made only to enhance employee productivity, improve quality of service, or expand scope of service. To assist in controlling the growth of operating expenditures, operating departments within the General Fund will submit their annual budgets to the City Manager within a ceiling calculated by the Business Services Department from the General Fund’s Long Term Financial Plan. Projected expenditures that exceed the ceiling must be submitted as separate expanded level of service requests. Fund Balance Policy The annual budget shall be presented to Council with each fund reflecting an ending fund balance that is no less than 25% of that fund’s annual operating expenditures. To satisfy the particular needs of individual funds, ending fund balances may be established which exceed the 25% minimum. Fund balance that exceeds the minimum level established for each fund may be appropriated for non-recurring capital projects or programs. The City will exercise diligence in avoiding the appropriation of fund balance for recurring operating expenditures. In the event fund balance is appropriated for recurring operating expenditures to meet the needs of the community, the budget document shall include an explanation of the circumstances requiring the appropriation and the methods to be used to arrest the future use of fund balance for operating expenditures. Fund Transfer Policy With the exceptions noted below, there will be no operating transfers between funds. Any costs incurred by one fund to support the operations of another shall be charged directly to the fund. (For example, actual hours worked by General Fund employees for Water & Sewer Fund events.) Fund transfers may occur when surplus fund balances are used to support non-recurring capital expenses or when needed to satisfy debt service obligations. Debt Expenditures The City will issue debt only to fund capital projects that cannot be supported by current, annual revenues. To minimize interest payments on issued debt, the City will maintain a regular debt retirement policy by issuing debt with maximum maturities not exceeding twenty (20) years. Retirement of debt principal will be structured to ensure constant annual debt payment. The City will attempt to maintain base bond ratings (prior to insurance) of Aa2 (Moody’s Investors service), AA+ (Standard & Poor’s) and

46


AA+ (Fitch, IBCA), on its general obligation debt (see Debt Policy). Annual financial reviews are conducted by Fitch, Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s. Post issuance compliance policy was implemented in 2012. Capital Projects Expenditure Policy The City will develop a multi-year plan for capital projects, which identifies all projects likely to be constructed within a ten-year horizon. The multi-year plan will reflect for each project the likely source of funding and attempt to quantify the project’s impact to future operating expenditures. Capital projects will be constructed to protect or improve the community’s quality of life, protect or enhance the community’s economic vitality, and support and service new development. To minimize the issuance of debt, the City will attempt to support capital projects with appropriations from operating revenues or excess fund balances, i.e. “pay-as-you-go.” Utility Capital Expenditures The City will design utility rates sufficient for meeting the annual coverage requirement that will accumulate resources to replace or rehabilitate aging infrastructure that no longer can be serviced by regular maintenance. Attempts should be made to fund the reserve at a level approximate to the annual average coverage requirement as reported in the City’s annual Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. Long Term Financial Plan Policy The City will adopt every annual budgets in context of a long term financial plan for the General Fund and Water & Sewer Fund. Financial plans for other funds may be developed as needed. The General Fund and Water & Sewer Fund long term plans will establish assumptions for revenues, expenditures and changes to fund balance over a ten-year horizon. The assumptions will be evaluated each year as part of the budget development process. Economic Development Policy The City will assess and collect ½ percent on each taxable sales transaction in the City and utilize the revenue to encourage commercial and industrial development within the City. Commercial and industrial development provides additional tax revenues, local employment, and shifts a portion of the tax base from the homeowner to the industrial/commercial entity. The MEDC board has set a goal to split the tax burden equally between the homeowner and industrial/commercial development. Infrastructure Development Policy The development of capital improvements, including street and utility construction, will provide the necessary infrastructure for residential and commercial development. The City has instituted an aggressive ten-year capital improvement program to develop the City's infrastructure. This program will be funded with the growth in tax base as projected. The improvements are being timed to coincide with annual growth in the City. Service Development Policy The City of Mansfield has approved 11 new positions in FY 2016-2017 to meet increased service needs.

Planning and Development Policy

47


The City has and will increase its technical assistance to residential and commercial developers in an effort to develop systematic growth and development. Residential and commercial zoning has been developed to fit the City's master plan. Budget Preparation Policy The budget development is based on community and individual department needs as identified by the citizens' survey, City Council and individual division projections. The budget is based on the projected growth of both revenue and expense factors City-wide over a ten year period. Projected commercial and industrial development are also factored into the overall budget plan. Council and management have adopted a modified Strategic Plan to outline the operational and infrastructure demands from the effects of the economy. This plan will be reviewed and revised regularly. Purchasing Policy The City continues to develop a City-wide purchasing plan to simplify, expedite and provide cost savings to all City departments. The consolidation of purchases, cooperative purchasing and the expanded use of the bid process provides cost savings now and in the future. Investment Policy The investment policy applies to all financial assets of the City of Mansfield. Investments and investment reporting comply with the Public Funds Investment Act. Other Policies 

Growth pays for growth - one time revenues will be used to pay for one time expenditures.

Operational increases in cost may only be funded by a permanent increase in revenue or a structurally balanced budget.

Pay as you go funding - including T.M.R.S., OPEBS, capital infrastructure and impact fees.

Amortization is limited to life expectancy.

Utility Coverage Factor is equal to 1.30 annually.

All members of Management and City Council are subject to ethics disclosure (any dealings that could have a direct or indirect gain.)

Executive Summary

THE CITY OF MANSFIELD, TEXAS Strategic Fiscal Plan

History and Purpose of the Plan Mansfield, Texas, is located in the southern sector of the fourth largest metropolitan area in the United States of America. The City of Mansfield encompasses 36.69 square miles. Current population estimates by City Planners suggest that the City is home to 67,628 people. In 1970, the City claimed 3,658 residents. Since 1970, the City’s population has grown by 63,970 residents. Mansfield, Texas is the third largest City in the County, and is third only to Fort Worth, and Arlington, Texas in Tarrant County. Population growth is expected to continue in the Dallas-Arlington-Fort Worth region. The Council of Governments, a coalition of local governments in the metropolitan area, continues to project growth in the population North Texas and specifically in Tarrant County over the next three decades. Mansfield City Planners also project growth in the City of Mansfield with an estimated population of 165,000 residents within in the next thirty to forty years. In the decade of the 1970s, community leaders recognized the demands of meeting the needs of the new residents within the City of Mansfield, Texas. Infrastructure was aging and unable to support the expectations of a new and increasing population. City resources were limited: including - limited professional staff, limited infrastructure, and limited funding capacity. The land use was agricultural. Community leaders gathered, raised taxes, recruited, retained professional staff and began building a community. These community leaders are still active in the community today. In addressing the service demands of the community, the City of Mansfield jumped in front of the expectations of growth in the decade of the 1980’s and began creating and adopting several planning models to manage and guide in the development of the City’s infrastructure to support the needs of the growing community and its demand for services. These planning models included the Master Land Use Plan, the Master Thoroughfare Plan, the Master Drainage Plan, the Master Water & Sewer Plan, the Master Parks Plan, and the master fiscal plan and the City’s Strategic Plan. Planning models are generally based upon the expectations of future populations and the expected use of infrastructure and services necessary to support the expected populations. These models are carefully designed and some require the public’s involvement ensure that these documents are consistent with the interest of the vested stakeholders in the community. Plans change little year after year because of the deliberative processes and the assumptions used in planning for future land use and needed infrastructure. Generally, 51


the primary planning model that drives the rest of the planning models is the land use model because it determines population densities, expected populations and land uses. Of course, these plans are reviewed and modified by the City based upon changes in the use of the land or other reasons deemed to be appropriate by the City. The City’s Strategic Plan is a fiscal planning model that encompasses the other infrastructure planning models and focuses on the City’s financial capacity, projected financial capacity and the City’s ability to pay for expected infrastructure improvements and the City services needed to service the growing population. The Strategic Plan focuses on the two primary activities of the City of Mansfield, Texas: General Infrastructure and Services and Water & Sewer Services. These two activities are also referred to as Corporations of the City which address the basic demands of the citizens and patrons of the City of Mansfield, Texas.

Fiscal Planning Guide The Strategic Plan is a business model intended to guide Management in making and evaluating business decisions affecting the community and managing the City’s organization. These decisions include the allocation funding for programs, such as public safety, street maintenance, park and recreational venues, water, sewer services and the administration of these City services. Year over year, these essential programs, are managed and developed to meet the needs of the residents of the City.

The City’s first Strategic Plan was adopted and accepted by the City of Mansfield on November 27, 2000. It has been revised and subsequently adopted on April 22, 2002, December 8, 2003, September 12, 2005, July 28, 2008, August 31, 2010, October 10, 2011 and October 28, 2013.

Guiding Policies and Development of the Strategic Plan The City of Mansfield, Texas, annually prepares and reviews its comprehensive Strategic Plan. This plan is guided by and directed by long-term fiscal policies that have been in place over three decades. The benefits of these long-term fiscal policies are evident from the results of the fiscal performance of the City and the strength of the City’s credit or it ability to repay its obligations within the community it serves and its creditors.

Guiding Fiscal Policy - Growth pays for Growth The current residents of the City are only asked to bear the costs of services; the cost of infrastructure development and the related services needed to support the development is to be paid for by the population creating demand for these costs. This policy essentially manages the cost of development and cost of services with the new recipients of these services. The policy also encourages the timely development of infrastructure and discourages the City from developing its infrastructure too quickly because funding becomes too costly for existing stakeholders. Growth pays for Growth.

Other Policies and Practices Policies and practices are only as effective as the City’s ability and political willingness to adhere to its policies and practices. The City Councils of the City of Mansfield, Texas, have supported and encouraged fiscal accountability and responsibility through the adoption of fiscal policies and the practices of fiscal policies. The instituted financial policies and practices generally govern, the fiscal performance of the City: a few of the practices are as follows: Revenues    

One Time Revenues Matched with One Time Expenses Manage User Fees to Match the Market Costs Cash Reserve Requirements Effective Utilization of Potential Tax Base (undeveloped land)

Expenses     

Service Excellence-Quality of Service at the Lowest Costs Community Safety Managed Growth-planning and Infrastructure Development Recruitment of Skilled Workforce-Competitive Salary Program Protection of the City’s Credit Ratings

Another key policy in keeping the City’s fiscal condition in good health is the annual rating review with three rating houses: Fitch, Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s. The rating houses refer to this annual review as market surveillance which is a formalized requirement of the rating agencies. The City annually presents the City’s financial 53


condition before each of the rating houses in New York, New York. This policy allows Management to clearly express its views before rating committee chairs who evaluate the City’s credit. Management of the City is considered to be strong by the agencies.

Fiscal Policy is Measured Each year in evaluating the Strategic Plan, Management considers its guiding policy by monitoring indices that encourage good fiscal health. These indices also alert Management of potential fiscal distress, stress or variances from the City’s guiding fiscal policy of letting “Growth Pay for Growth”. Key indices include: debt ratios, coverage requirements and cash reserve requirements. Debt ratios are evaluated before the issuance of debt or additional borrowings; coverage requirements or the percentage of earnings greater above annual debt payments; solvency are monitored and measured annually to the wealth of the community and the service needs of the citizens. If these indices get too low or too high, Management acts to restore these indices to their normal levels.

Strategic Plan The Plan has been designed to meet the current and future service demands of the community based upon current management practices and current funding provisions of existing programs. It allows for the expected or projected service needs of the community for the next ten fiscal years, 2017-2026. The service needs include the Capital Improvement Programs, Operating & Capital Equipment Programs, Employee Recruitment Programs, and Expansion of Existing Programs. Major divisions and departments have provided input and need assessments for the expected service level requirements into the future. The Plan is designed for continuous adjusting based on economic variables and local activity drivers that affect the service requirements. It provides for a degree of certainty in setting expectations for future spending and is expressive in its intent of future spending patterns, but is not to be construed as the final funding authority for future programs, future indebtedness or commitments to any program, vendor, stakeholder or other interested party of the City as occurrences in the development of the City may alter or change the priority of funding needed to service the City.

Financial Forecast and Projections The Strategic Plan is a planning tool used to guide and address these demands for funding while identifying potential stress points or weaknesses in the services being provided by the City. It is also designed to steer the City clear of fiscal distress or warn Management of potential fiscal stress when assuming a certain assumptions in spending patterns, inflationary provisions, infrastructure programs, and recruitment, retention programs. It also encourages the City to think into the future and in so doing, it encourages program managers to anticipate the future costs of future populations as well as current populations, while providing for the financial stability of the community by projecting the future costs of City services. 54


The Strategic Plan includes revenues and expenditures for a period of ten years. The objective of the forecast is simply to measure or guide the allowance of costs. Over the ten year forecast, revenues and expenditures are projected to increase considerably over the next ten years as the population is expected to increase 29% over the next decade. The City’s economy is influenced some by the national economy, but is more influenced by its population growth and its economic development programs. In years past from 1970 till today the City’s population has boomed almost 65,000 residents. During this period time the national economy has moved through many economic cycles including the Great Recession and the City population has continued to grow because of its location in the North Texas. Growth over the next decade is expected to be more of a modest pace of growth in the population and the number of new businesses moving into the community. In forecasting revenues and expenses for the City’s General Fund and Water, Sewer Fund into the future, Management projects revenue trends to average in a range of 5% to 7% over the next ten years with expenses being controlled or managed to approximately 3% over the next ten years. The City could experience higher cost of operations because of the effects of federal monetary policy, rising interest rates, energy prices, commodity prices, labor markets, costs of raw water, and the costs of treating sewer water. Current spending patterns suggest that minimum costs could increase 3% year over year, but these spending patterns are extremely subject to economic variables that could easily adjust the trajectory of presently projected spending pattern. Detailed projections by revenue source and spending purposes are provided in following tables.

Key Rates Tax Rate projections over the next ten years predict the tax rate to remain constant or at its current rate of $.71 cents per $100 in assessed valuation of property within the City of Mansfield, Texas. Water and Sewer rates are expected to remain constant over the next ten years with the exception of modest rate increases year over year. Modest increases are expected to pay for the significant cost increases being passed along to the City for the cost of delivering raw water to the City’s water treatment facilities and the cost of treating the City’s sewer water. The City is closely monitoring these rate increases that are being charged by Tarrant Regional Water District and Trinity River Authority to the City for their capital improvement programs. These rates may or may not increase depending upon the costs being passed along to the City’s customers.

Current Economy, Future Economy The City has increased service expectations as it has adjusted service programs to meet the current demand for services. Department heads have submitted and requested funding that is well beyond the City’s ability to fund the requesting funding. In an effort to maintain existing services, the City has significantly reduced future spending expectations because of the uncertainty in the national and global economies. All the while, the City is seeing continued growth in its residential, commercial, and industrial sectors of its economy and employment percentages are healthy and expected to remain 55


healthy in the City. The State of Texas employment percentages continue to fluctuate as the State’s economy adjusts from the ever changing prices of oil and gas. Even though the State is suffering from a drought in the oil and gas industry the overall economy of the State is fairly stable as Texas is a leader in the exportation of goods around the world. Although, nationally some areas of the country are still struggling in their recovery from the Great Recession, the State of Texas and the North Texas region are doing well and the signatures of fundamental growth are present. The City expects these trends to continue into the future barring any unforeseen economic calamity. Growth expectations are based on projected population estimates by the City’s planning department. Support for these population projections are corroborated by the continued growth in the overall population of the State of Texas, and the continued population growth in the North Texas region.

The near term financial trends present favorable operating conditions within the City, and Management will continue to monitor the near term trends as projections are based on improving economic conditions within the City. Measurement indices of fiscal policies will be monitored by Management too. Continued assessment of the economy will condition Management’s action and responses in adjusting the revenues and expenses of the City’s primary activities.

Expected population increases create the need for housing stock, infrastructure, and retail development. In the last decade of 2001 to 2010, the City added some 32,000 residents, 1990’s decade the City added 10,000 residents. The population growth in the last two decades has been robust. The expected population increase over the next decade is 19,413 persons.

Capital Improvements General Fund Improvements: Water & Sewer Fund Improvements:

$136,250,000 $ 50,385,000

Most of the General Fund improvements are for the improvement of the City’s street infrastructure. General Fund improvements will be funded through the capital markets. The Water and Sewer Fund’s significant improvements are attributable to the expansion of the treatment facility. The Water and Sewer Fund improvements will be funded through a combination of the capital markets and cash. Impact Fees are a significant resource used to offset the costs of these future improvements and will be used as they are collected over the next ten years for both activities.

Service Improvements & Operating Equipment General Fund Personnel General Fund Equipment

$8,174,062 $12,058,727

Management has placed a priority on funding positions for the Public Safety Department. Most of the equipment is for the replacement and addition to the Public Safety vehicle inventory.

What does the Strategic Plan mean to the Citizens of Mansfield? The Strategic Plan provides a blueprint of staffing, operating and capital requirements in the FY 2017-2026 budget and anticipated requirements into future years. The plan is adjusted annually as conditions change and priorities change based on current and future growth projections. By identifying future needs, the City Council and City Management are better able to plan and develop strategies to maintain current service levels, structure debt to provide for infrastructure improvements and maintain financial stability. The plan identifies strengths and challenges in current and future years that enable City Council and Management to better plan for and adjust operations as needed.

How does the Strategic Plan relate to the Fiscal Year 2017 Budget? The FY 2017 budget provides funding to maintain the current service levels in all departments and provides for future growth and a strong equity position for the city. In prior and future years, Public Safety has been the focal point of attention in the needs assessment provided by City Council and Management. With the expansion of the city’s park and recreation system, additional resources have been allocated to provide additional services for the expanded programming requirements. The ongoing maintenance of city streets and right of ways requires resources to be allocated to this service function as well. The Strategic Plan incorporates local, state and national economic trends and providing estimates for future budget years. The City has reviewed the fee structures in previous years to adequately match fees with cost of operations. These revenues have also been included in the FY 2017 budget and projected into future years.

How does the Strategic Plan improve overall Service Performance? By identifying staffing, capital and operational requirements, additional resource allocation may be adjusted to reflect the increased service demand for each department and program. Anticipating future needs to service the expected population growth requires each division and department to critically evaluate operational requirements, staffing levels and capital requirements. Limited funding refines operational efficiencies and highlights service levels that meet or do not meet the citizen’s expectation. In summary, each division and department is charged with developing new and better operational techniques to maintain the service levels demanded by citizens and staff. The retention of a quality workforce maintains the overall service performance at all levels of the organization. Management and Council have committed to providing the “Best Value” for all citizens.

For illustration purposes the plan has been prepared to allow for modest rate adjustments over the next five years and allowed for no rates adjustments in the last five years of the plan to show the impact of holding rates constant. This model suggests fiscal stress will be encountered during this period unless revenue or expenses are adjusted. The Average Annual Requirement is the leading indicator of potential fiscal stress. Although decreasing, other coverage factors remain fairly constant and suggest a good bill of fiscal health of the Water and Sewer Fund. Rates during this period may or may not be adjusted depending upon the factors affecting the economic variables assumed in this model.

MAJOR REVENUES General Fund City revenues are based on a combination of factors including analysis of historical revenue, anticipated changes in the local economic environment and projected growth and development throughout the City. The City of Mansfield also uses a variety of factors in determining the availability of revenue to fund operations throughout the City, including but not limited to qualitative and quantitative revenue forecasting, trend analysis, multiple regression, time series analysis, multi-year historical data, national, state and local economic trends, undeveloped land, actual and proposed development, quantitative and qualitative factors including plats, building permits and the Long Term Financial Plan. The City of Mansfield has historically used conservative estimates to forecast revenues in all funds. In FY 2016-2017, the City has aggressively estimated revenues based on current residential and commercial developments approved by City Council, aggressive economic development efforts and increased commercial and residential developments within the City. Development in the medical corridor and the southeast portion of the City is expected to continue in FY 2016-2017. Residential and commercial property valuations have followed recent local, state and national trends. Property values increased approximately 10% of which new construction was approximately $147,038,257. Mineral valuations dropped from FY 2015-2016 levels. Recent and projected new retail centers are expected to generate additional sales tax revenue.

Property tax revenue is budgeted at $27,605,907 in FY 2016-2017, an increase of 12.66% or $3,102,542.

Property tax estimates are based on the valuation of real and personal property within the City of Mansfield. In FY 2016-2017 the average residential home increased in value approximately 9.6%. New construction in FY 2016-2017 was approximately $147,038,257.

Franchise Tax Revenue Franchise tax accounts for approximately 13% of all revenue in the General Fund. Franchise tax revenue includes revenue from electric, gas, telephone, cable and sanitation franchise agreements. In FY 20162017, franchise tax revenue is projected to increase less than 1% from revenues derived from the City’s sanitation service, gas, cable and electric franchise fees. The electric and gas franchise taxes are tied to actual usage and weather conditions. Annually, franchise fees have increased an average of 6-7%. The actual number of users and the weather patterns throughout the year determines the electric and gas franchise fee revenue. The revenue may increase or decrease depending on the volume usage of kilowatthours per household, hot or dry conditions during the year and the number of new residential and commercial users.

Hotel/Motel Tax Fund The budgeted revenue for FY 2016-2017 in the Hotel/Motel Tax Fund is $713,300 or an increase of 26% over FY 2015-2016. Revenue from this fund is derived from a hotel/motel tax of 7% on hotel and motel occupied rooms within the City of Mansfield. In FY 2012-2013, the City expanded the tourism program to develop a City-wide marketing strategy to attract special events, conferences and sporting events that promote the use of hotels within the City of Mansfield. Recent developments in Arlington including the new Dallas Cowboy’s Stadium, and local venues including Big League Dreams Sports Park and Hawaiian Falls Water Park, have contributed to the demand for hotel space. The Fieldhouse and Dallas Stars Center are anticipated to have a positive impact on hotel/motel tax as well. Mansfield Park Facilities Development Corporation The operating budgeted revenue for FY 2016-2017 in the Mansfield Park Facilities Development Corporation (MPFDC) budget is $4,579,962 for operations and an additional $1,941,171 in sales tax revenue to pay for debt service. In 1992, the citizens voted a ½ cent sales tax to provide parks, cultural facilities and equipment to enhance and expand the City of Mansfield’s park system. The primary sources of revenue from this fund are derived from sales tax, grants, impact fees and rental fees. Sales tax accounts for 79.8% of budgeted revenue. The primary revenue source in this activity will continue to increase as new retail and commercial developments continue throughout the City. Big League Dreams, Hawaiian Falls Water Park, the Mansfield National Golf Club and the Fieldhouse will generate additional sales tax revenue from visitors utilizing these recreational venues. Mansfield Economic Development Corporation The operating budget for FY 2016-2017 in the Mansfield Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) budget is $976,943. Included in this fund is $1,202,784 for debt service and additional funding for contractually obligated projects. In 1992, the citizens voted a ½ cent sales tax to provide economic development funds to provide a funding mechanism to encourage retail, commercial and industrial development within the City of Mansfield to reduce the residential tax burden. The primary source of revenue from this fund is derived from sales tax, which makes up 99% of budgeted revenue. Tree Mitigation Fund No revenue is budgeted in the Tree Mitigation Fund for FY 2016-2017. CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND REVENUE ASSUMPTIONS The Capital Projects Fund includes the Street Construction Fund, Utility Construction Fund, Building Construction Fund, Parks Construction Fund, Economic Development Construction Fund and Equipment Replacement Fund. The revenue sources for these funds include bond proceeds, impact fees, contributions, transfers, interest earnings, grants and other uncategorized revenue. Impact fees include roadway impact fees and water & sewer impact fees. Roadway impact fees are charged to the builder or developer on a per lot basis for residential homes at a rate of $1,000 per lot; commercial and special use impact fees are charged on a per square footage basis. Water & Sewer impact fees are charged based on the size of the water and sewer line connection to the water and sewer system. While bond proceeds continue to be the major source of revenue for the Capital Projects Fund, impact fees have also become a major revenue source. Average impact fees per single family unit total $7,300.

85


Since 1995, roadway impact fees, water & sewer impact fees and park development fees have totaled $99,012,735. Impact fee revenue is projected to continue in future years, but the City has been conservative in its estimates for impact fee contributions. Impact fees are utilized to reduce the amount of bond issuance in the Street Construction and Utility Construction funds. Contributions from developers and the Mansfield Economic Development Fund provide additional revenue in these funds. Contributions are not budgeted on an annual basis in the Capital Projects Fund since these revenues cannot be projected with any degree of certainty. Transfers, interest and expense recovery revenues make up the remaining revenue sources of the Capital Project Fund. Generally, transfers from the General Fund and bond provide the major revenue source for the Equipment Replacement Fund unless the City opts to finance the purchase of equipment. The City Council and Management team have made a conscious effort to develop alternative revenue sources by the utilization of impact fees and developer contributions. Street Construction Fund The budgeted revenue for FY 2016-2017 in the Street Construction Fund is $23,395,732 or an increase of 46% from FY 2015-2016. Impact fees are projected to generate an estimated $700,000 in FY 2016-2017. Utility Construction Fund The budgeted revenue for FY 2016-2017 in the Utility Construction Fund is $8,026,574 or a decrease of 70.2%. Impact fees are budgeted at $1,100,000. Building Construction Fund The budgeted revenue in the Building Construction Fund is $15,100,000. Facility expansions include the design and construction of the Dallas Stars Center. Mansfield Parks Facilities Development Corporation Construction Fund The budgeted revenue in the Mansfield Parks Facilities Corporation Construction Fund is $20,545,556. Major projects include completion of the Fieldhouse project and Pond Branch construction. Mansfield Economic Development Corporation Construction Fund The budgeted revenue in the Mansfield Economic Development Facilities Construction Fund is $19,954,572. Major projects include design and construction along Broad Street and Regency Parkway. Equipment Replacement Fund The primary source of revenue will be the issuance of Certificates of Obligation of $1,250,377 to fund facility improvements, technology improvements, public safety vehicles and equipment. Additional revenue sources include auction proceeds on the disposal of vehicles and equipment.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES STATEMENT

Incorporated in the FY 2016-2017 budget is the continuation of the original program as set forth by the administration and identified in the annual statement of Goals and Objectives.

DEBT SERVICE FUND The General Obligation Debt Service Fund is used to account for payment of principal and interest on the City of Mansfield’s general obligation bonds and capital lease payments. Revenue Debt Service Funds are used to account for Revenue Bonds whose principal and interest are payable from earnings of the City of Mansfield’s Enterprise Funds. Special Revenue Debt Service Funds are used to account for Sales Tax Revenue Bonds whose principal and interest are payable from a special ½ ¢ sales tax.

125


CITY OF MANSFIELD DEBT MANAGEMENT POLICY Purpose The City recognizes that effective management of the public’s funds is an investment of the public’s funds within the community in which it serves. It is with this understanding that the City of Mansfield establishes its debt policy to guide decision makers in investing the public’s money within the City of Mansfield, Texas. 

“Tax-exempt financing is used by state and local governments to raise capital to finance public capital improvements and other projects, including infrastructure facilities that are vitally important to sustained economic growth.” - Tax-Exempt Financing, a Primer

It is upon this principal that the City of Mansfield, Texas determines the necessity to incur debt in order to finance the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) of the City. The management of the City’s debt is vital for maintaining the expected cost of services and the continued infrastructure development within this community. With the incurrence of additional debt, the City is able to pay for the infrastructure needs of the community without overly burdening the constituency in any given period by increasing or decreasing the fee structure necessary to support the capital improvement. As a result, the management of the City’s debt portfolio is designed to minimize the impact to its constituency.

Authorization The Constitution of the State of Texas and the general laws of the State of Texas allow for and permit Texas cities, as authorized by the City, to issue direct obligations or bonds for the purpose of financing improvements and capital assets. Although the Federal Government does not govern local spending authority, it closely regulates and monitors the types of issuances and the authority for issuance through the Federal Income Tax Code, Sections 141 through 150. The Federal Income Tax Code restricts the nature and character of Bond Interest in how it is treated as income for income tax reporting, thereby controlling and creating markets for tax-exempt instruments.

Uses of Debt Financing and Capital Improvements 

Debt financing shall be used to fund infrastructure improvements and the purchasing of capital assets as long as the asset life of the improvement or capital asset is beyond the cost of financing the improvement or the capital asset.

Debt financing shall be used as a funding source when the improvements or the purchase of capital assets cannot be acquired from current revenue sources or direct fees like impact fees. In addition, if the purchase of capital assets and construction of infrastructure improvements can be funded through available resources (fund balance, current revenue or any other recurring revenue) then the cost of money should be considered against the value of available resources in determining pay-as-you-go financing.

Affordability of Additional Debt and Legal Debt Limit In Fiscal Year 2000, the City of Mansfield developed a 10-year Strategic Plan that anticipates the financial future of the City of Mansfield, Texas. This plan is a comprehensive planning model that enables Management to assess the financial well-being of the City. It quantifies the impact of growth and development and speaks plainly about the fiscal condition of the City. This Strategic Plan incorporates

126


future revenue sources, operating expenses and projected capital improvement projects for all of the City’s activities: Governmental Funds and Enterprise Funds. This Strategic Plan measures the City’s ability to authorize and issue additional debt over the next ten years. Each year, the plan is revised to reflect growth, population estimates and current operating revenues. 

The City shall use an objective, analytical approach to determine whether it can afford to assume new debt beyond what it retires each year. This process shall compare generally accepted standards of affordability to the current values for the City. General Obligation Bonds: Debt per capita Debt as a percent of taxable value Debt service as a percent of current revenues and current expenditures Debt tax rate as a percent of the City’s tax rate Revenue Bonds: Pledged revenues shall be a minimum of 110% of annual debt service Pledged revenues shall be a minimum of 125% of average annual debt service Pledged revenues shall be 130% of maximum annual debt service for financial planning purposes Annual adjustments to the City’s rate structures will be made as necessary to maintain a 130% coverage factor

The City will keep outstanding debt within the limits prescribed by State Statute, which does not prescribe a legal debt limit. However, Article XI, Section 5 of the Texas Constitution, applicable to cities with a population of more than 5,000, limits the ad valorem tax rate to $2.50 per $100 assessed valuation.

Types of Debt and Criteria for Issuance of Types of Debt The City may choose to issue debt under any provision allowed for and permitted by State Statute. Although debt is an obligation to be repaid, it can assume many forms. The form and character of debt is typically determined by the nature of the funding source and nature of the asset to be purchased or improved. However, debt can generally be categorized into two types, as determined by the Federal Income Tax Code: Governmental Bonds and Private Activity Bonds, either of which may be taxable or tax-exempt. In determining the type of security for financing an improvement or purchasing of a capital asset, the City may consider the following, and is not limited to the following:

Debt Form General Obligation Facility: General Obligation Bonds (“GOs”)

Tax levy as security for the bonds Voter’s Approval Specific Public Purpose

Certificates of Obligation (“COs”)

Tax levy and/or revenue pledge as security Specific public purpose Public Notice; hearings and advertisement

Surety Bond & Bond Insurance

Debt service is less than cost of insurance Double AA rated insurer Competitive offers from two insurers

Debt Structure Historically, the City of Mansfield’s debt structures have been designed to coincide with the fiscal policies of the City of Mansfield, Texas, essentially allowing growth to pay for growth by properly setting the maturities of the debt to equal or less than the usefulness of the improvement or asset. Typical debt structure of a bond issuance:        

Term or serial bonds structured for annual payments Traditional call feature that does not influence the price of the bonds Average bond life of 10.5 years to 12.0 years Level payments for twenty years Pricing structured to allow for premiums and discounts First year payment to begin in second year of construction Bond insurance Surety bond if warranted

The City of Mansfield has sought non-traditional avenues of capital improvement financing; however, the City is considered a “small issuer” under the law. It has been more economical for the City to maintain this type of debt structure for its bond sales. This does not preclude the City from considering different structures or structuring its issuance differently from its typical debt structure. The purpose of the structure is to provide the City with the lowest possible costs under market conditions at the time of issuance. Methods of Sale Competitive Sale: The City shall seek to issue its debt obligations in a competitive bidding environment. Bids shall be awarded on a True Interest Cost, providing the bidders meet other bidding requirements. In some instances, the City may award the sale to the lowest Net Interest Cost bidder depending on the economic substance of the transaction. If the competitive bidding process is not conducive to soliciting the lowest cost of financing a bond issuance, the City may choose to negotiate the sale.

129


Negotiated Sale: The City shall seek to weigh the selection of underwriter before negotiating a bond sale. The selection of the underwriter shall encourage the best economic environment in which the City will benefit from selling its bonds. Typically, negotiated sales will occur when the market volatility is unpredictable. In some cases this may mean investors are not willing to commit capital in uncertain economic environments, or the size of the issue may not attract the bids for a successful sale. Moreover, the primary purpose of the negotiated sale is to solicit the interest rate environment for the City to sell bonds. Private Placement: The City will seek to privately place its bonds with a select group of investors when the issuance warrants the sophistication of the buyer. The City will ensure that the placement fee is less than a typical underwriter’s fee in a negotiated offering of a comparable type sale in a similar sale environment. Refunding of Debt The City of Mansfield, Texas shall monitor the municipal bond market for opportunities to refund outstanding debt to save the City from future interest costs. As a general rule, the savings shall be at least 3% greater than the cost of carrying the existing debt inclusive of issuance costs and any cash contributions. However, if the value of the savings exceeds the cost of the refunding and is greater than $100,000 but is less than 3% of the savings, then the City shall consider refunding the existing debt. Arbitrage rules are to be considered when refunding debt. Credit Objectives The City of Mansfield, Texas shall seek to attain and maintain the highest possible bond ratings for its outstanding debt without compromising the delivery of basic City services. Currently, the City maintains four ratings with Fitch, Moody’s, and Standard & Poor’s.

General Obligation Sales Tax Revenue Drainage Revenue Water & Sewer

Fitch, IBCA AA+ AA+ AA AA

Moody’s Aa2 Aa2 Aa2 Aa2

Standard & Poor’s AA+ AAAA AA+

It is and will be the continued policy of the City of Mansfield to provide full disclosure of information about the City’s operating activity to the rating agencies. The City shall maintain an open line of communication with the rating agencies to allow for the free exchange of information between the City and the agencies. Secondary Market Disclosure SEC 15c2-12 regulations became effective July 3, 1995. The City shall continue to provide financial data to the Nationally Recognized Municipal Information Depository (NRMSIRs) and the State Information Depositories (SIDs). The City will and has complied with secondary reporting requirements of SEC 15c2-12. Financial Advisor The City will retain an external financial advisor. The financial advisor must have comprehensive municipal debt experience and experience in diverse financial structuring requirements. The City financial advisor must also be of reputable character and in good standing with SEC and the MSRB.

130


Bond Counsel The City will retain an external bond counsel. Bond Counsel must have comprehensive municipal debt experience and experience in diverse financial structuring requirements. Bond Counsel must also be of reputable character and in good standing with Texas Law Review Board. Other Service Providers The City shall select other service providers (e.g. escrow agents, verification agents, trustees, arbitrage consultants, etc.) as necessary to meet legal requirements and minimize net City debt costs. Arbitrage Compliance The City shall maintain its books and records in a manner consistent with the provision allowed for under the Internal Revenue Code Section 148. Furthermore, the City shall have its arbitrage exposure calculated annually and appropriately recognized in the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Statement. Investment of Bond Proceeds All bond proceeds shall be invested in accordance with the City Investment Policy. The proceeds shall be invested as part of the City’s consolidated cash pool and accounted for separately and accordingly to bond covenants and the Internal Revenue Code. Calculation of the City of Mansfield Legal Debt Limit The City Charter of the City of Mansfield, Texas and the statutes of the State of Texas do not prescribe a legal debt limit. However, Article XI, Section 5 of the Texas Constitution, applicable to cities of more than 5,000 populations, limit the ad valorem tax rate to $2.50 per $100 of assessed valuation. The City operates under a Home Rule Charter that also imposes a limit of $2.50 per $100 of assessed valuation. The FY 2016-2017 budgeted property tax rate is $0.71000 per $100 valuation with a tax margin of $1.79000 per $100 valuation based upon the maximum ad valorem tax rate noted above. Additional revenues up to $91,884,072 per year could be raised before reaching the maximum allowable tax base.

Assessed Value x Legal Debt Limit (15% of Assessed Value) General Obligation Bonds and Certificates of Obligation = Legal Debt Margin The Assessed Taxable Valuation in FY 2016-2017 is $5,181,378,189 The Legal Debt Limit is $777,206,728 General Obligation Bonds and Certificates of Obligation is $153,675,365 The Legal Debt Margin is $623,531,363

FIRE OPERATIONS Department at a Glance The Fire Operations Department includes the Assistant Fire Chief of Operations, three Battalion Chiefs, one Training Battalion Chief, seven Captains, six Lieutenants, twelve Apparatus Operators and forty six Firefighters. The Operations Department budget increased 12.52% due to a merit increase, market adjustments, overtime, medical supply costs increases and additional training cost increases. Key Goals and Objectives Goal 1 Hire an additional six firefighter/paramedic positions. Objectives:  Decrease the amount of overtime required to operate by increasing shift numbers from 23 assigned per shift to 25 assigned per shift.  Provide for safer and more efficient incident response by reducing hours worked and, subsequently, firefighter fatigue; optional staffing of 4 personnel on a Quint.  Reduce the amount of overtime required to maintain higher minimum staffing needs resulting from adding a fourth ambulance. Goal 2 Restructure the department to increase efficiency and improve current operational capabilities by redesigning our organization to be more functional and better positioned for future growth. Objectives:  Add a 24-hour Tahoe-based EMS unit comprised of an EMS supervisor and Paramedic Firefighter to respond to certain EMS calls in place of fire apparatus, reducing the number of fire apparatus responses while still placing an Officer in Command on scene.  Create an EMS Division under the Operations Chief to give needed attention to a growing area of responsibility—one that needs to maintain constant awareness on quality improvement and compliance with ever-changing rules and legislation.  Develop a Community Healthcare Program to improve quality of life for identified high risk patients living in our City by making home visits to assist with education and other health concerns. Goal 3 Increase the capabilities of our training division by providing a Burn Tower for the deployment of crews to complete fire ground training drills and specialty rescue on a routine basis. Objectives:  Increase the amount of hands-on training in the areas of high risk/low frequency situations that are commonly linked to firefighter line of duty deaths.  Decrease all associated costs of training for required annual burn drills and technical rescue skills; decrease the amount of time crews are out of service, limit the amount of overtime needed, and reduce the mileage, fuel usage and maintenance costs required to drive to the nearest fully capable training center.  Train staff to operations level standards to be able to safely complete a rescue in various situations, by increasing both the amount of training and the emphasis on skill retention for all

203


special operations disciplines (swift water, rescue, rope, trench, structural collapse and confined space). Performance Objectives  Hire an additional six firefighter positions and raise the minimum staffing level.  Create an EMS division to respond to calls where a fire apparatus is not required.  Increase the capabilities of our training division by providing a training tower for the deployment of crews to complete fire ground training drills and specialty rescue on a routine basis.

Measurable Outcomes:  Increase fire ground safety and decrease fatigue by increasing staffing. Increased staffing will result in a reduction in overtime.  Decrease costs of maintenance and fuel used by fire apparatus. Increase in-patient care benchmarks and patient satisfaction by following up on identified high risk patients.  With the addition of a training facility, we expect to see an increase in fundamental skills related to firefighting, such as hose deployment, ventilation, victim location and removal. Additionally, we should experience increases in our “All Hazards” rescue capabilities throughout the department by purchasing equipment, increasing training, and developing organized teams.

The primary operational impacts in the Street Construction Funds are related to maintenance of irrigated and non-irrigated medians including utility costs and contract costs to service medians, street lights, signals and public grounds areas. Staffing additions may be added to supplement current contract requirements.

Project Impacts Beginning in FY 2016-2017, major Street infrastructure projects include:

297


State Highway 360 Participation This is the 2nd half of the City’s total $10M participation in TxDOT’s overall design-build phase to construct a 9.7 mile extension of State Highway 360 north/south main lanes from Green Oaks Blvd. in southern Tarrant County to Highway 287 in northwestern Ellis County and northeastern Johnson County. The project includes the improvement of Mansfield’s four major intersections with the SH-360 state tollway project, which will provide for ultimate capacity at these intersections consistent with the City’s Master Thoroughfare Plan. The North Texas Toll Authority will operate SH-360 as a toll road, and revenues collected will be used to repay TxDOT for construction.

Debbie Lane Median/Reconstruction Debbie Lane (a major east/west arterial) will be expanded, adding a center raised median. This section from Business 287/Main Street to F.M.157 also requires upgraded pavement to withstand additional truck loads, as this will be the preferred truck route.

S. Main from Broad Street to Hunt Street Funding for S. Main Street will provide for an urban complete street in Historic Downtown and contributes overall to the Downtown redevelopment efforts. It will offer more public parking with streetscape aesthetics.

Sodium Hypochlorite Generation

Sodium hypochlorite is a low-concentration of bleach, used as the primary disinfectant during water treatment. The sodium hypochlorite system upgrades are much needed at the Bud Ervin Water Treatment Plant. The project includes the addition of a generator capable of processing 1500 pounds per day, as well as increased storage for future expansion. In addition, the project involves replacing aging, eroding pipes with piping made from a material that is much better suited for the bleach.

299


Misc. Roadway Projects

As new residential and commercial projects are being developed, the Utilities Division will establish the infrastructure necessary to service these areas. The majority of these projects will be in the southern portion of the City along the State Hwy 360 and U.S. Hwy 287 corridors.

Dallas Stars Center

The Dallas Stars Center is a public/private partnership. Located within the future Shops at Broad development, the approximately 80,000 square foot indoor recreational facility will have two ice surfaces for ice hockey, ice dancing and open skating. It will include programming space for parties and meetings along with viewing areas, locker rooms and retail space. This facility will host local league play, camps, clinics, ice dancing competitions and other event programs. The Dallas Stars Center is estimated to have approximately 327,000 visits annually. It has an anticipated opening date of September 1, 2017 and will cost $15,100,000.

Fire Station No. 5

Due to the rapid development of Mansfield and two new, large residential areas now being constructed in the southern portion of the City, there is a need for a 5th fire station. A current drive time analysis for the Fire Division shows that adding another station will not only provide service for the residents of these new developments, but also improve response times in other outlying areas of the City. Fire Station No. 5 should be staffed and fully operational in FY 2020-2021.

The Equipment Replacement Fund is funded through transfers from the General Fund. Typically, $500,000-$600,000 in new and replacement equipment is funded on an annual basis from a combination of excess revenues or expenditure savings. In FY 2016-2017, eight public safety vehicles, one ambulance, one Opticom system and related equipment, a computerized dispatch map, four cardiac monitors, and cameras and New-Line Touch Displays for the Information Technology Department will be funded with a bond issuance of approximately $1,250,377. Vehicles and equipment in public safety are given top priority as funding becomes available. The City will auction obsolete equipment or vehicles that are fully depreciated, or as the maintenance costs become prohibitive. The primary operational impacts in the Equipment Replacement Fund are related to the reduction in repair costs and proceeds from the sale of vehicles and equipment that is being replaced. In FY 20162017, technology enhancements, public safety vehicles, equipment and facility improvements will be purchased through the issuance of certificates of obligation to fund the replacement program.

Project Impacts 

Public Safety vehicles and equipment – annual replacement of vehicles and equipment basis reduces down time and repair costs and provides Police and Fire the best available resources to respond to emergencies.

Repair Savings - reduces down time and enables staff to provide more proactive police patrols; reduces major fire apparatus down time.

Auction Proceeds - offsets borrowing costs by redirecting proceeds for the purchase of new equipment.

The Economic Development Fund is used to provide economic incentives for businesses to relocate to the City of Mansfield. It also provides direct funding for infrastructure improvements, reimbursements for construction costs and business retention incentives. In FY 2016-2017, the primary construction projects include the expansion of Broad Street and the extension of Regency Parkway south to Heritage Parkway. As commercial and industrial companies relocate to Mansfield, the fund is used to provide reimbursements for utility, roadway and facility improvements provided certain benchmarks are met such as property valuations, employees and future development plans. E. Broad /Regency Parkway

The Broad Street project will expand one of Mansfield’s main east/west routes from 4 lanes to 6 lanes, starting at Highway 287 and extending to Cannon Drive. It includes adding traffic signals at the intersection of Broad and Regency Parkway and extending Regency Parkway to its planned terminus at Heritage Parkway. The result will be reduced congestion on Broad Street. It will allow for growth of traffic volume, as this area is not only a centralized medical district, but also the future site of major sporting and retail establishments (Shops at Broad). The extension of Regency Parkway provides alternate north/south connectivity to the industrial and new residential areas and supports Mansfield’s Economic Development. The MEDC will fund $6,000,000 of this project in FY 2016-2017.

BUDGET GLOSSARY The Annual Budget contains specialized terminology that is unique to public finance and budgeting. To assist the reader of the Annual Budget document in understanding these terms, a budget glossary has been included. Accrual Accounting

A basis of accounting in which debits and credits are recorded at the time they are incurred as opposed to when cash is actually received or spent. For example, in accrual accounting, revenue which was earned between April 1 and June 30, but for which payment was not received until July 10, is recorded as being received on June 30 rather than on July 10.

Appropriations

An authorization made by the City Council which permits the City to incur obligations and to make expenditures of resources.

Assessed Valuation

A value that is established for real or personal property for use as a basis for levying property taxes. (Note: property values are established by the Tarrant Appraisal District.)

Audit

A comprehensive investigation of the manner in which the government's resources were actually utilized. A financial audit is a review of the accounting system and financial information to determine how government funds were spent and whether expenditures are in compliance with the legislative body's appropriations.

This accounting technique is a combination of cash and accrual accounting since expenditures are immediately incurred as a liability while revenues are not recorded until they are actually received or are "measurable" and "available for expenditure."
