Members of the City Council

Dear Nayor and Members of City Council:
In accordance with state statutes and local charter provisions. I hereby
transmit the annual financial report of the City of Wheat Ridge as of
December 31, 1984, and for the fiscal year then ended. Responsibility
for both the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and
fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the
City. Management believes that the data, as presented, is accurate in
all material aspects; that it is presented in a manner designed to fairly
set forth the financial activity of its various funds; and that all
disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain the maximum
understanding of the City's financial affairs have been included.
In developing and evaluating the City's accounting system, consideration
is given to the adequacy of internal accounting controls. Internal
accounting controls are discussed by the City Treasurer in his
accompanying letter of transmittal, and within that framework, I believe
that the City's internal accounting controls adequately safeguard assets
and provide reasonable assurance of proper recording of financial
transactions.
This report has been prepared for the third consecutive year in
accordance with the guidelines recommended by the Governmental Finance
Officers Association of the United States and Canada. In accordance with
these guidelines, the accompanying report consists of three parts:
1) Introductory section, including the City Treasurer's letter of
transmittal.
2) Financial Section, including the financial statements,
supplemental data of the government and our independent
auditor's opinion.
3) Statistical Section. including a number of tables of unaudited
data depicting the financial history of the government for the
past 10 years, information on overlapping governments, and
demographics and other miscellaneous information.

(con't)
State law requires that the financial statements of the City of Wheat
Ridge be audited by a certified public accountant selected by the City
Council. This requirement has been complied with, and our auditor's
opinion is included in the financial section of this report.
The City of Wheat Ridge ended 1984 in a strong financial position. In
the General Fund, revenues exceeded expenditures by $255.921.
The preparation of this annual financial report could not have been
accomplished without the dedicated effort of the City Treasurer's Office.
I express my appreciation to all involved for their continued efforts
in the management of the City's financial programs.
Sincerely,
/:/ / L/] .

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the City of Wheat Ridge, for
the fiscal year ended December, 1984 is submitted herewith. This report
was prepared by the City Treasurer's Office. Responsibility for both the
accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and fairness of the
presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the City. We believe
the data, as presented, is accurate in all material aspects; that it is
presented in a manner designed to fairly set forth the financial position
and results of operations of the City as measured by the financial
activity of its various funds; and that all disclosures necessary to
enable the reader to gain the maximum understanding of the City's
financial positlon have been included.
ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AND BUDGETARY CONTROL
In developing and evaluating the City's accounting system, consideration
is given to the adequacy of internal accounting controls. Internal
accounting controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not
absolute, assurance regarding: (I) the safeguarding of assets against
loss from unauthorized use or disposition; and (2) the reliability of
financial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining
accountability for assets. The concept of reasonable assurance
recognizes that: (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the
benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the evaluation of costs and
benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
All internal control evaluations occur within the above framework. We
believe that the City's internal accounting controls adequately safeguard
assets and provide reasonable assurance of proper recording of financial
transactions.
Budgetary control is maintained by the encumbrance of purchase amounts
prior to the release of purchase orders to vendors. Open encumbrances
are reported as reservations of fund balance at December 31, 1984.

CASH MANAGEMENT
It is the policy of the City Treasurer to invest all idle funds. Cash is
usually invested within each fund; occasionally, cash from smaller funds
will be pooled in order to maximize investment leverage; the returns from
pooled investments are distributed to the participating funds at the end
of the pooled investment period.
The City of Wheat Ridge has formally adopted the prudent investor rule as
a guide to the City Treasurer's Office staff in the handling of municipal
investments. City funds may be invested in F.D.r.C. savings accounts,
certificates of deposit, U.S. Government Securities. The City monitors
the certificate of deposit rates on a daily basis.
Relatively small amounts of idle cash are maintained in savings accounts
until needed to cover checks. Certificates of deposit are place in bid
amounts ranging from $100,000 to $621,000. At the end of 1984, the City
had $3,841,775 invested in certificates of deposits earning interest

Colorado and its corrbining, individual fund, and account group financial statements

the financial position of the City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado at December 31, 1984,
and the results of its operations and the changes in financial position of its

financi3.1 st3.te..'llents. 'lhe accompanying financial information listed as supporting

procedures applied in the examination of the combined, combining, and individual
fund financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the combined financial statements taken as a whole.
In connection with our examination, we also (I) performed tests of compliance with
the Revenue Sharing Act and re]ulations as detailed in the Commentary on the Audit
Requirements of the 1983 Amendments to the State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act
issued by the Office of Revenue Sharing, U.S. Department of G~e Treasury, and (2)
compared ~~e data on the appropriate Bureau of Census form with the audited records
of the City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado.
In our opinion, for the items tested, the City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado complied

CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE, COLORADO
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1984
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The City of ~~eat Ridge was incorporated August 17, 1969, under the
provisions of Colorado Non-Profit Corporation Act, Colorado Revised
Statutes, as amended. The City operates under a
Counci1-Mayor-Administrator form of government and provides the
following services as authorized by its charter: pUDlic safety
(police), highways and streets, recreation, public improvements,
planning and zoning, and general administrative services.
The accounting policies of the City of Wheat Ridge conform to
generally accepted accounting principles as ap~licable to
governments. The following is a summary of the more significant
policies:
A. FUND ACCOUNTING
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds
and account groups, each of which is considerea a separate
accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for
with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its
assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures, or
expenses, as appropriate. Government resources are allocated to
and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for
which they are to be spent and the means by which spending
activities are controlled. The various funds are grouped, in the
financial statements in this report, into three generic fund types
and two broad fund categories as follows:
...
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
General Fund
The General Fund is the general operating fund of the
City. It is used to account for all financial resourses
except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Special Revenue Funds
special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds
of specific revenue sources (other than special
assessments, expendable trusts, or major capital projects)
that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified
purposes. Special Revenue Funds of the City include the
following:
Buildinq Demolition Fund
The Building Demolition Fund was established, during
1981, as a revolving fund. Structures are demolished
at City expense, the property owner is then billed for
the cost of demolition.
28
CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE, COLORADO
Notes to Financial Statements
Capital Improvement Fund
The Capital Improvement Fund (formerly Sales Tax
Improvement Fund was established to account for funds
received as a result of a one percent increase in the
City's sales tax. The expenditures of this fund are to
be used for capital expenditures as approved by
City Council.
Federal Revenue Sharing
The Federal Revenue Sharing Fund was established to
account for those funds received through the "State and
Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972, as amended." This
Act provides funds to units of local governments to be
used for ordinary and necessary maintenance, operating
expenses, and capital expenditures authorized by law.
The Act also specifies certain restrictions and
procedural requirements.
Park Acquisition Fund
The Park Acquisition Fund was established to account
for funds received and designated for use in the
acquisition of additional parklands and improvements.
Senior Center Fund
The Senior Center Fund was established durinq 1981 to
account for contributions made to the Senior Center,
The expenditures of this fund are used to support
activities of the Center.
Urban Renewal Fund
The Urban Renewal Authority was established during
1981. with seed l~oney from the City of Wheat Ridge to
be responsible for and seek to accomplish the
redevelopment and rehabilitation of blighted areas.
Revenue is currently being received from incremental
sales tax growth over the 1981 base year and from
property taxes and from interest on invested funds.
Future revenue may come from bond issues or other
sources.
FIDUCIARY FUNDS
Trust and Agency Funds
Trust dnd Agency Funds are used to account for assets held by
the City in a trustee capacity or as an agent. These funds
include an Expendable Trust, a Pension Trust, and two Agency
Funds. Expendable Trust Funds are accounted for in essentially
the same manner as governmental funds. Pension Trust Funds
are accounted for in essentially the same manner as proprietary
funds since capital maintenance is critical.
29
City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado
Notes to Financial Statements
Agency Fund~ are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities)
and do not Involve measurement of results of operations. Trust
and Agency Funds of the City include the following:
Policemen's Pension Fund
The Policemen's Pension 2und was established to account
for funds received from participants and the City's
General Fund. The funds are held in trust for
disbursement to qualified participants upon leavIng the
plan or upon qualified retirement.
Public Works Escrow Fund
The Public Works Escrow Fund, an agency fund, was
established to account for funds received as financial
guarantees prior to the issuance of certain authorized
construction permits. Upon completion of all requIred
work under the permits, the funds are refunded.
CATV Property Damage Fund
The CATV (Cable Television) Property Damage Fund, an
agency fund, was established to account for funds
received from the cable television permIttee for
settlement of minor unresolved claims against the
permittee for damage to private property. The
permittee is required to restore city paid settlements
within fourteen days after notificatIon.
Conservation Trust Fund
The Conservation Trust Fund, an expendable trust fund,
was established to account for funds received and
restricted for use in the acquisition. development
and maintenance of new conservation sites pursuant
to Chapter 138-1-98 of the Revised Stotutes of the
State of Colorado.
B. FIXED ASSE'r AND LONG-TERH LIABILITIES
The accounting and reporting treatment applied to the fixed
assets and long-term liabilities associated with a fund are
determined by its measurement focus. All governmental funds
and Expendable Trust Funds are accounted for on a spending
or "financial flow" measurement focus. This means that only
current assets and current liabilities are generally included
on their balance sheets. Their reported fund balance (net
current assets) is considered a measure of "available spendable
resources." Governmental fund operating statements present
increases (revenues and other financing uses) in net current
assets. Accordingly, they are said to present a summary of
sources and uses of "available spendable resources" during
a period.
30
City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado
Notes to the Financial Statements
.
Fixed assets used in governmental fund type operation are
accounted for in the General Fixed Asset Group of Accounts,
rather than governmental funds. No depreciation has been
provided for on general fixed assets.
All fixed assets are valued at historical cost or estimated
historical cost if actual historical cost is not available.
Contributed fixed assets are valued at their estimated fair
value on the date of gift.
Land improvements transferred to the City from Jefferson County
in 1969, have been recorded at the County's historical Lust,
subsequent additions have been recorded at cost, until 1977,
at which time the City elected to discontinue recording the
cost of land improvements.
The Jefferson County Open Space Program acquires land for
public enjoyment (e.g., parks, playgrounds, lakes, etc.) and
then donates the land to the City for use as public land. The
land is recorded at the cost of land to the Open Space Program.
Long-term liabilities expected to be financed from governmental
funds are accounted for in the General Long-Term Debt Account
Group, not in the governmental funds.
The two account groups are not "funds". They are concerned
only with the measurement of financial position. They are not
involved with measurement of results of operations.
C. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or
expenses are recognized ln the accounts and reported in the
financial statements.
All the Governmental funds and Expendable Trust funds are
accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting.
Their revenues are recognized when they become measurable and
available as net current assets. Expenditures are generallly
recognized under the modified accural basis. Revenue is
recognized in the accounting period in which it becomes
available and measurable. Expenditures are recognized in
the accounting period in which the fund liability is incurred.
Trust and Agency Funds are used to account for assets held by
the City in a trustee capacity. These include Expendable
Trust, Pension Trust, and Agency Funds. Agency funds are
custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not
involve measurement of results of operations. The Pension
Trust Funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of
accounting.

City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado
Notes to the Financial Statements
D. BUDGETS
The individual and combined statements of Revenues,
Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balance Budget (non-GAAP
Budgetary Basis) and actual for the General, Special Revenue
and Expendable Trust Funds present comparisions of the legally
adopted budget with actual data on the (non-GAAP) budgetary
basis which includes encumbrances. All other statements
exclude encumbrances, as required by GAAP (generally accepted
accounting principles); expenditures are only recorded when
the liability is incurred. Budgetary appropriations lapse 2t
the end of each calendar year.
Appropriations are controlled and the budget lS only amended in
conformity with Colorado Revised Statutes.
Budgeted amounts are as originally adopted or as amended by the
City Council. Individual amendments were not material in
relation to the original appropriations.
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary
data reflected in the financial statements:
1. Prior to September 1, the City Administrator submits
to the City Council a proposed operating budget for
the fiscal year commencing the following January 1.
The operating budget includes proposed expenditures
and the means of financing them.
2. Public hearings are held at City Council meetings to
obtain taxpayer input.
3. Prior to November 1, the budget is legally enacted
through passage of a resolution.
4. The City Administrator is authorized to transfer
budgeted amounts within a department within any fund;
any revisions that change the total expenditures of
any fund must be approved by City Council.
5. In addition to the operating budget a five-year
Capital Improvement Program is proposed by the
City Administrator and adopted by City Council.
This program identifies projected capital project
expenditures and anticipated revenue by fund source.
The Capital Improvement Program is revised and
extended annually. The City Improvement Program
is revised and extended annually. The City Council
adopts the program as a planning document but does
not appropriate the multi-year expenditures. Annual
installments to the identified projects are
appropriated in the annual operating budget or by
supplemental appropriations.
32
City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado
Notes to the Financial Statements
6. Budgets for the General, Special Revenue and
Fiduciary Funds are adopted on a basis not consistant
with generally accepted accounting principles
(NON-GAAP BASIS).
7. Budgetary figures in this financial report are as
originally adopted or as amended by the City
Council.
E. ENCUr--lBRANCES
Encumbrances accounting, under which purchase orders,
contracts, and other commitments for the expenditure of
monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the
applicable appropriation, is employed as an extension of
formal budgetary inteyration in the General Fund, special
Revenue Funds. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end for
budget comparisons are reported as expenditures. Encumbrances
outstanding at year-end under Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles, are reported as reservations of fund balances
since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities.
F. ACCRUED PAYROLL BENEFITS
City employees earn vacation leave which may be either taken or
accumulated, up to a maximum amount, untll pald upon
termination or retirement. Unused sick leave, in excess of 480
hours, may be converted to annual leave or cash upon retirement
or termination.
G. DEFERRED REVENUES - PROPE~TY TAXES
Property taxes are levied on December 31, of each year and
attach as an enforceable lien on property as of January 1.
It is the policy of the City to record the property tax
receivables in the year in which the taxes are levied and to
recognize the property tax revenues in the year in which the
lien attaches on the property. All material property taxes
levied as of December 31, 1983 were collected as of
December 31, 1984, accordingly no provision for uncollected
taxes has been made.
H. TOTAL COLUMNS ON COMBINED STATEMENTS.
Total columns on the Combined Statements - Overview are
captioned Memorandum only to indicate that they are presented
only to facilitate financial analysis. Datd in these COlU~IS
do not present financial position in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Neither is such data
comparable to a consolidation. Interfund eliminations have
not been made in the aggregation of this data.
33
City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado
Notes to the Financial Statements

Council for emergency situations affecting the lives and
property of the City's citizens. Expenditures must be

conditions participants may contribute up to 15%. During
1984, the participants and the City each made mandatory
contributions of $140,955 to the plan.

DECEMBER 31, 1984
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT l\CCOONTING POLICIES
The accounting policies of the City of Wheat Ridge conform to generally accepted
accounting principles as applicable to governments. The following is a summary of
the more significant policies:
A. FUND l\CCOONTING
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds and account
groups, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The
operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of
self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity,
revenues, and expenditures, or expenses, as appropriate. Covernment resources
are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes
for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are
controlled. The various funds are grouped, in the financial statements in
this report, into three generic fund types and two broad fund categories as
follows:
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
General Fund
The General Fund is the operating fund of the City. It is used to account
for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in
another fund.
Special Revenue Funds
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific
revenue sources (other than special assessments, expendable trusts, or
major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for
specified purposes. Special Revenue Funds of the City include the
following:
Building Demolition Fund
The Building Demolition Fund was established, during 1981, as a
revolving fund. Structures are demolished at City expense, the
property owner is then billed for the cost of demolition.
Capi tal Improvement Fund
The capItal Improvement Fund (formerly Sales Tax Improvement Fund) was
established to account for funds received as a result of a one percent
increase in the City's sales tax. The expenditures of this fund are
to be used for capital expenditures as approved by City Council.
Federal Revenue Sharing Fund
The Federal Revenue Sharing Fund was established to account for those
funds received through the "State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of
1972, as amended." 'fhis Act provides funds to units of local
governments to be used for ordinary and necessary maintenance,

NarES 'IO FINAN:IAL STATEMENTS

operating expenses, and capital expenditures authorized by law. 'Ihe
Act also specifies certain restrictions and procedural requirements.
Park Acquisition Fund
The Park Acquisition Fund was established to account for funds
received and designated for use in the acquisition of additional
parklands and ~provements.
Senior Center Fund
The Senior Center Fund was established during 1981 to account for
contributions made to the Senior Center. The expenditures of this
fund are used to support activities of the Center.
Urban Renewal Fund
The Urban Renewal Authority was established during 1981, with seed
money from the City of Wheat Ridge to D2 responsible for and seek to
accomplish the redevelopment and rehabilitation of blighted areas.
Revenue is currently being received from incremental sales tax growth
over the 1981 base year and from property taxes and from interest on
invested funds. Future revenue may come fram bond issues or other
sources.
FIDUCIARY FUNDS
Trust and hjency Funds
Trust and Agency Funds are used to account for assets held by the City in
a trustee capacity or as an agent. These funds include an Expendable
Trust, a Pension Trust, and two Agency Funds. Expendable Trust Funds are
accounted for in essentially the same manner as governmental funds.
Pension Trust Funds are accounted for in essentially the same manner as
proprietary funds since capital maintenance is critical. Agency Funds are
custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not involve
measurement of results of operations. Trust and Agency Funds of the City
include the following:
Policemen's Pension Fund
The Policemen's Pension Fund was established to account for funds
received from participants and the City's General Fund. The funds are
held in trust for disbursement to qualified participants upon leaving
the plan or upon qualified retirement.
Public Works Escrow Fund
The Public WOrks Escrow Fund, an agency fund, was established to
account for funds received as financial guarantees prior to the
issuance of certain authorized construction permits. Upon completion
of all required work under the permits, the funds are refunded.
CNlV Property Damage Fund
The CATV (cable television) Property Damage Fund, an agency fund, was
established to account for funds received from the cable television

permittee for settlement of minor unresolved claims against the
permittee is required to restore city paid settlements within fourteen
days after notification.
Conservation Trust Fund
The Oonservation Trust Fund, an expendable trust fund, was established
to account for funds received and restricted for use in the
acquisition, development and maintenance of new conservation sites
pursuant to Chapter 138-1-98 of the Revised Statutes of the State of
Colorado.
B. FIXED ASSET AND IDNG-TERM LIABILITIES
The accounting and reporting treatment applied to the fixed assets and
long-term liabilities associated with a fund are determined by its measurement
focus. All governmental funds and Expendable Trust Funds are accounted for on
a spending or "financial flow" measurement focus. This means that only
current assets and current liabilities are generally included on their balance
sheets. Their reported fund balance (net current assets) is considered a
measure of "available spendable resources." Governmental fund operating
statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and
decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets.
Accordingly, they are said to present a summary of sources and uses of
"available spendable resources" during a period.
Fixed assets used in governmental fund type operations are accounted for in
the General Fixed Asset Group of Accounts, rather than governmental funds. No
depreciation has been provided for on general fixed assets.
All fixed assets are valued at historical

Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or expenses are
recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements.
All the Governmental funds and Expendable Trust funds are accounted for using
the modified accrual basis of accounting. Their revenues are recognized when
they l::Ecome measurable and available as net current assets. Expenditures are
generally recognized under the modified accrual basis. Revenue is recognized
in the accounting period in which it becomes available and measurable.
Expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the fund
liability is incurred.
Trust and h;jency Funds are used to account for assets held by the City in a
trustee capacity. These include Expendable Trust, Pension Trust, and h;jency
Funds. h;jency funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do
not involve measurement of results of operations. The Pension Trust Funds are
accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting.
D. B1J[X;ETS
The individual and combined statements of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes
in Fund Balance Budget (non-GAAP Budgetary Basis) and actual for the General,
Special Revenue and Expendable Trust Funds present comparisons of the legally
_ adopted budget with actual data on the (non-GAAP) budgetary basis which
includes encumbrances. All other statements exclude encumbrances, as required
by GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles); expenditures are only
recorded when the liability is incurred. Budgetary appropriations lapse at
the end of each calendar year.
Appropriations are o:mtrolled and the budget is only amended in conformity
with Colorado Revised Statutes.
-
Budgeted amounts are as originally adopted or as amended by the City COuncil.
Individual amendments were not material in relation to the original
appropriations.
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected
in the financial statements:
1. Prior to September 1, the City Administrator suanits to the City
Council a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the
following January 1. The operating budget includes proposed
expenditures and the means of financing them.
2. Public hearings are held at City Council meetings to obtain taxpayer
input.
3. Prior to November I, the budget is legally enacted through passage of
a resolution.

total expenditures of any fund must be approved by City COuncil.
5. In addition to the operating budget a five-year Capital Improvement
Program is proposed by the City Administrator and adopted by City
Council. 'lhis program identifies projected capital project
expenditures and anticipated revenue by fund source. The Capital
Improvement Program is revised and extended annually. The City
Council adopts the program as a planning document but does not
appropriate the multi-year expenditures. Annual installments to the
identified projects are appropriated in the annual operating budget or
by supplemental appropriations.

ENcmlBRANCES
-
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts, and other
commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve
that portion of the applicable appropriation, is employed as an extension of
formal budgetary integration in the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds.
Encumbrances outstanding at year-end for budget comparisons are reported as
expenditures. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end under Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles, are reported as reservations of fund balances since
they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities.

'I' . \
Thomas H. A.~~o;- ~ity
II ,idrrunlstrator
July 11, 1984
To Mayor and City Council From
Subject Mid-Year Financial Report Date
Approved
Date
Attached is the 1984 Mid-Year Financial Report from the
Department of Finance. Our City Charter requires that this
report be prepared in July of each year. The purpose of the
report is to provide projections for year end as to revenues
and expenditures as compared to budget.
The most significant matter discussed in the report is our
declining General Fund Balance. Although this decline from
year to year is of vital concern, it has been discussed and
planned in previous years' budget projections. It was indeed
the existence of the fund balance that allowed us in 1981 and
on to use certain amounts of the fund balance each year rather
than resort to serious cuts in service and/or tax increases.
It has been Council's policy since that time to make use of
portions of the fund balance each year coupled with expansion
of our tax base to avoid any tax increases or service cuts in
the years immediately ahead.
Decreases in the fund balance of the Capital Improvement Fund
and Revenue Sharing Fund are to be expected since we are doing
major projects and/or purchasing equipment. Those decreases
are normal when we have a strong work program even though interest
from idle funds will also decrease.
THP:ly
Att.
1984 MIDYEAR FINANCIAL REPORT
Introduction
Section l0.ll of the Home Rule Charter of the City of Wheat
Ridge requires that during the month of July a budget status
report shall be presented to the City Council. This report
provides revenue and expenditure information on all city
funds that are directly affected by the City Council's
budgetary decisions. All data is arranged in four columns;
the 1984 VARIANCE colu~n is the difference between the 1984
BUDGET column and the 1984 REVISED column. Two main themes
are worthy of special attention; these are declining fund
balances in all major funds and Intergovernmental revenue
windfalls are slowing the decline of the general fund
balance.
Declining Fund Balances
FUND BALANCES 1982 1983 1984
ACTUAL ACTUAL PROJECTED
General Fund Balance 3,052,485 2,53l,398 2,103,184
Capital Improvement Fund 1,349,341 794,830 317,430
Revenue Sharing Fund 306,625 92,399 69,399
The table above shows a projected total drop of over 2.2
million dollars in the aggregate fund balances of the
General, Capital Improvement, and Revenue Sharing Funds.
This has contributed to losses in interest earnings and the
need for more precise cash flow management in these funds.
Most cities strive to carry a general fund balance of 10% of
expenditures. By year end our general fund balance will drop
to about 27% of expenditures, which is still very
conservative. The problem with the general fund balance is
that it is decreasing because we are spending more than we
are taking in. In 2-3 years the General Fund balance will
fall to 10% of expenditures, at that time new revenue
sources will have to be utilized if present serVIce levels
are to be maIntained.
Intergovernmental Revenue
Nearly $ 300,000 of unexpected revenue is coming into the
City from the County Road and Bridge and State Highway Users
Tax Funds this year. Without this extra revenue 1984 would
have been a disastrous year for the General Fund. Public
Service Franchise Tax revenue is declining and our Sales Tax
is performing marginally, although sales tax revenues WIll
probably do better in the second half of the year.
Intergovernmental Revenues are dependent on County and
State decisions that are made well after the time our budget
is prepared; next year these revenues could be reduced just
as dramatically as they increased this year. If this happens
it could cause our general fund balance to decrease at a
more rapid rate.

Dear Mayor and Members of City Council:
The Office of the City Treasurer has updated the city's Financial
Management Plan that was first presented to the City Council in
February. This plan is comprised of five sections: Financial
Assessment Report; Financial policies; Sales Tax Analysis; ReVEnue
Manual and the Fleet Management Program. This Plan will be updated
every Spring and be given to the City Council several months prior to
the budget process.
The Financial Assessment Report (pages 1-18) has been updated with 1982
data since the February study session. This report is based on a
financial reporting system developed by the International City Manage-
ment Association and is useful in gaining an overall perspective of the
City's financial condition. The Financial policies (pages 19-26) and
the Sales Tax Analysis (pages 27-30) have not been changed since the
February study session.
The Revenue Manual (pages 3l-ll8) makes up the bulk of the Financial
Management Plan. This is a valuable reference guide for budget or
financial planning questions concerning revenue. The Fleet Management
Program, which begins on page ll9, is the concluding section of the
.Plan. This involves a change in the way we fund the maintenance and
operation of our fleet and proposes the creation of a fleet replacement
fund that is maintained annually through systematic cost formulas.
The staff hopes that this new Financial Management Plan will aid Council
in looking at not only our revenue structure generally, but will also
help during your budget deliberations each year. We will plan to
discuss this report at the June study session.
Sincerely,
c;hm~# f!J!r6lV

INTRODUCTION
The methodology used in this financial assessment report is based on the
International City Management Association's financial trend monitoring system.
This is a management tool that combines information from City financial and
budgetary reports with data from the United States Census Bureau that can be
plotted over a period of time to monitor changes in major financial trends.
The time frame for this analysis is the period from 1971 until 1982 This
analysis is designed to identify financial trends in time to take appropriate
action and to provide input for the establishment of long term financial goals
and policies. This analysis concerns only the City's General Fund although
the Sales and Use Tax information is also useful in discussions of the Capital
Improvement Fund.
Much of the data in this report is adjusted through the use of the national
consumer price index from the 1971 base year. While the CPI is a useful tool, it
should be realized that it can only approximate inflation's effect on local
government since local public sector expenditures are not necessarily the same as
those used in the CPl. By use of the CPI real growth rates can be calculated in
terms of 1971 dollars; the methodology f6r the use of the C.P.I. is shown on page 17.
-
This financial assessment is not intended to provide specific answers or recommen-
dations based on the information presented here. It is intended to be the first
step in a two step process. The second step being the adoption of a set of financial
goals and policies to help both the staff and the City Council make better financial
decisions. It is also intended that these indicators will be updated annually prior
to the consideration of the annual budget so that the City Council and staff may
have current trend information for the budgetary process.

In graphic form this shows the relative importance of the major sources of general
fund revenue. The two major areas that have increased proportionately are Sales
and Use Taxes and Miscellaneous Revenue. The reason that Miscellaneous Revenue
has increased is because of interest income.

The relationship between Revenues, Expenditures, and the Fund Balance is clearly
shown here. Whenever revenues greatly exceed expenditures, a fund balance occurs,
from 1978 to 1982 thi s occurred in fi ve success i ve years whi ch caused rapi d fund
balance grOl'lth. In 1983 it is projected that the fund balance will begin to
decrease because of declining revenues and use of a portion of the fund balance
as a 1983 operating revenue.

An examination of per capita revenue shows how revenues changE relative to
Wheat Ridge's stable population level. Wheat Ridge's per capita revenue, when
adjusted for inflation has shown a real growth rate of3 .7% annually over the
last ten years which has allowed for the addition of new services.

Sales and Use tax has performed better than any of our other revenue sources. Sales and
Use taxes are elastic revenues that react quickly to changes in the economic base. In
times of inflation they increase dramatically, but can decrease just as dramatically ;n a
recessionary or depressed economy. In the State of Colorado, Sales Taxes are growing in
dominance within municipal revenue structures. The City of Wheat Ridge is excessively
reliant on sales tax revenue and should have a conservative contingency fund policy to
protect against a downturn in these revenues.
Sales and Use taxes have a real growth rate of9.7% from1972- 1982.

Property Tax revenues are tied to an equitable assessment process that produces
stable revenue increases. Because of inflation and the more rapid growth rates
of other revenue sources property taxes have become proportionately less importani
in the Wheat Ridge General Fund revenue structure. The real growth rate of propey_y
taxes has decl ined at an annual rate of 4.4% from 1972 - 1982.

Intergovernmental Revenues are any revenues received from another governmental entity. These
revenues are impOl"tant to monitor because over-dependence on intergovernmental revenues can
have an adverse impact on financial condition. These revenues are difficult to estimate
because we do not have access to detailed information regarding them and we are not in close
communication with the decision-making bodies that make policy regarding them.
In the past ten years, intergovernmental revenues as a percentage of General Fund revenues in
Wheat Ridge have been on a downward trend. The four revenue sources comprising intergovern-
mental revenue are cigarette tax, county road and bridge tax, highway users tax, and motor
vehicle registration. The real growth rate of these revenues grew to a peak in 1976 and has
declined steadily since.

ACTUAL REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES
1971 - 1982
Since 1975 Wheat Ridge's actual revenues have exceeded
budgeted revenue and since 1971, expenditures have fallen
well below the established budgeted level. These two
occurrences have accounted for rapid fund balance growth.
In 1983, it is probable that actual revenues will fall
slightly below the budgeted level and almost equal the
amount of 1983 actual expenditures. This, combined with
the fact that $270,000 of the una110cated general fund was
transferred to the Capital Improvement Fund in the 1983
Budget, will result in a declining fund balance in the
General Fund.

In real dollar terms, the City of Wheat Ridge experienced 11.9% annual growth
from 1971 - 1974, this is due to rapid service growth involved in reaching our
present service level. Since 1974 the real growth rate in expenditures has been
zero.

The above graph shows a fairly constant relationship between Wheat Ridge
General Fund per capita expenditures and the Average Wheat Ridge Per Capita
Income. Since 1974 the City of Wheat Ridge General Fund has spent about 1.4%
of the income earned by Wheat Ridge residents. This graph shows that City
expenses are not an increasing burden on the average residents'budget, but
are remarkably constant.

This graph shows that the fund balance growth has been dramatic since 1974.
In the period 1974 - 1981 the fund balance has experienced an annual real
growth rate of 53%. Since the real growth in expenditures since 1974 has
been zero all of the real revenue growth has gone towards producing a larger
fund balance.

PER CAPITA STATISTICS
Several of the indicators in this report are done on a per capita basis. This means a
dollar amount per resident; the population figures below were used to compute all per
capita statistics used in this report. The per capita income statistics used on the graph
in page 10 are also listed below. Both the population and per capita income information
were obtained from the United States Census Bureau.
CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (CPI)
The cost of living adjustments shown on several of the graphs were developed using the
CPI factors listed below. These factors were taken from the Bureau of Labor Statistics-
All Urban Consumers Index. This is a measure of how inflation effects the average consumer.
The assumption made on our graphs is that local governments are affected at a similar rate.
Since 1971 is the base year used it has the value of 100; 1981 is 225; what this means is
that one 1981 dollar is only worth 100/225 1971 dollars or 44.45 cents. Another way of
looking at it is it takes 225 1981 dollars to equal 100 1971 dollars.

OPERATING BUDGET POLICIES
BALANCED BUDGET
The City of Wheat Ridge budget will balance operating
expenditures with operating revenues.
Every adopted budget will balance projected revenues
and projected expenditures. Use of transfers from
other funds or the fund balance will be minimized
because of the long-term negative effects of using
a one-time revenue source to balance the budget.
EXPENDITURE AND REVENUE REPORTING
The City will prepare a monthly report comparing actua
revenues and expenditures with budgeted revenues and
expenditures.
This is the current practice.
FLEET MANAGEMENT DEPRECIATION FUND
Through the use of a fleet management fund, the City
will annually budget sufficient funds for the regular
maintenance, repair and replacement of all City vehicll '.
This fund will be established and monies budgeted
beginning with the 1984 Budget.
MAINTENANCE OF CAPITAL ASSETS
The adopted operating budget will provide sufficient
funds for the regular repair and maintenance of all
City of Wheat Ridge capital assets. The budget should
not be balanced by deferring these expenditures.
Through the budget process appropriate expenditure
levels will be determined.
EMPLOYEE PAY
The City of Wheat Ridqe will pay its employees on a
parity basis with pay plans of similar cities in the
Denver Metropolitan area.
Every year as part of the budget process, the City shari
conduct a salary survey to determine and thereafter to
pay Wheat Ridge employees wages equivalent to those
generally prevailing for similar work performed by
municipal employees in similar cities in the Denver
metropolitan area.
INVESTMENT AND DEBT POLICIES
POLICY SUBJECT
BANKING RELATIONSHIPS
Implementation
Every three (3) years the City of Wheat Ridge will
open its banking relationship for competitive bid.
The City will prepare an RFP to open for competitive
bid its banking business. The initial contract will
run from July 1, 1983 to July 1, 1986 and will be re-
bid for three year periods thereafter. The initial RFP
will be developed by staff for submission to Council
approximately April 1, 1983.
Policy Statement

INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY
Policy Statement
The City of Wheat Ridge will make use of pooled cash
to invest under the prudent investor rule. The
prudent investor rule is that investments shall be
made with the exercise of that judgement and care,
under circumstances then prevailing, which men of
prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in
the management of their own affairs, not for specu-
lation but for investment, considering the probable
safety of their capital as well as the probable income
to be derived.
Implementation
The City Treasurer is responsible for all of Wheat
Ridge's investments, and evaluates all investment
opportunities with respect to this policy. Because
the City's need for funds is not constant, the City
Treasurer should schedule investments such that there
is as little idle cash as practical.

SALES TAX ANALYSIS
On page 2 of the Financial Assessment Report it shows that Sales and Use Taxes
have risen from 1/3 to 1/2 of our General Fund Revenue in the last ten years.
Because Sales Tax is our largest revenue source it is especially important that
the City Council and staff understand the location and types of businesses that
produce our Sales Tax Revenue.
The Sales Tax Sources shown on page 28 shows that about 2/3 of the City Sales Tax
base is composed of rapidly consumable necessities such as Public Utilities, Food,
Liquor and Prescription Drugs. These are stable and continuous sources of revenue
for the City. Less than 5% of the City Sales Tax base comes from department store
and entertainment industries that are highly susceptible to fluctuations in the
economy. Sales Tax is an unpredictable revenue to accurately estimate, but the type
of Sales Tax base in Wheat Ridge is relatively stable.
In September 1982, the Applewood commercial area produced 27.0% of the City's
Sales Tax Revenue as is shown on page 29 A year earlier, Applewood produced 34%
of the City's Sales Tax Revenue; this is in spite of the fact that Applewood contains
only 5.9% (48) of the City's active Sales Tax Licenses (817). The old Wheat Ridge
area east of Wadsworth experienced dramatic sales tax growth between 1981 and 1982,
but produces only about 20% of the Applewood area on a per license basis.
All of the information contained on pages 28 and 29 was taken from an analysis of
the September, 1982 Sales Tax Returns by the Budget/Finance Assistant. These
figures will differ from official records since about half of Wheat Ridge's Sales
Tax licenses are handled on a quarterly basis and the larger returns are processed
on a monthly basis. In order to come up with a more accurate estimate of geographic
and business type percentage distribution, the third quarter 1982 data from the
small business was divided by one-third and analyzed as September, 1982 data. This
practice provides us with a more accurate picture of actual percentage distributions
but does not match our actual September, 1982 Sales Tax Returns. These figures
include approximately 2% retail use taxes that cannot be separated in this type of
analysis.

REVENUE MANUAL
The purpose of this manual is to provide detailed information on all of the
City of Wheat Ridge's General Fund revenues. On page 32, the total General
Fund Revenues since 1971 are analyzed in the financial mode. This page contains
the Budget Figure, Actual Flgure, per cent change from the previous year and
per cent error columns.
The Budget column contains the amount of revenue that was estimated during the
budget preparation process. The Actual column shows the total amount of revenue
that was received during that fiscal year; these figures come from the Annual
Financial Report which is presented every spring for the previous fiscal year.
The figures represented in the Budget column were estimated twenty months earlier.
This twenty month time lag accounts for a part of the disparity between the budget
and actual amounts. This disparity is measured in the percentage error column;
a figure of 100 is a perfect estimate, less than 100 means the budget underestimated
the revenue, whereas a figure over 100 is an overestimate.
On page 34 Property Tax revenues are analyzed in the financial mode, at the bottom
of the notes column a 1972 - 1982 annual growth rate of 3.98% is shown, this is the
annual percentage rate the actual revenues have increased. The policy regarding
City of Wheat Ridge rpoperty tax is shown on pages 35 and 36. This shows the legal
and administrative framework of Wheat Ridge property tax revenue. The policy
component of the Revenue Manual is designed to centralize and clarify all policy
issues pertaining to General Fund Revenues.

FLEET MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The 1984 Budget contains two new accounts; 772 - Fleet Repair/ Maintenance and 807 -
Fleet Replacement. These accounts will be the only two expenditure categories in a
new Fleet Maintenance Fund that will be created through the 1984 Budget process.
The details of how this fund will function are shown in the next few pages.
The basic principle of this program is that all listed vehicles are "owned" by the
Fleet Maintenance Fund and leased back to user departments. The departments will
use a portion of their budgets to fund Account 772 which will cover the entire cost
of the fleet maintenance program for their vehicles. This includes all personnel,
facilities, equipment, parts, fuel and oil associated with the maintenance and
operation of the fleet. The costs in the 1984 Budget are shown on the Fleet Lease
Summary on page 120 in the M/O Costs column. For example, the City Administrator
will budget $1,584 to cover the costs associated with maintaining and operating the
assigned vehicle in 1984. The cost of $1,584 was determined using the M&O Rates on
the Fleet Leasing Schedule. These rates were arrived at by a thorough analysis of
existing fleet maintenance records. The total of M/O costs will equal the 1984 Shops
budget.
The second category in the Fleet Maintenance Fund is funded through Account 807.
This category will be used to replace and/or rebuild the fleet. In 1983 all fleet
replacement costs were covered by the Federal Revenue Sharing Program; this amounted
to a budgeted expenditure of $336,500. Account 807 is designed to fund the replacement
of all vehicles within the existing fleet. All additions to the fleet will have the
full purchase price budgeted in Accounts 808 or 809 and also budget future replacement,
maintenance and operations costs in the Fleet Maintenance Fund. The City Administrator
will budget $1,296 to cover the costs of fleet replacement in Account 807. This cost
was determined using the R&D Rates on the Fleet Leasing Schedule. These rates have
been arrived at through surveys of other cities and are fairly standard because
vehicle costs and useful life are similar in most cities. The total R&D Costs for
1984 on page 120 is $276,652, which is $59,848 less than was budgeted in 1983.
There are a number of advantages in using this approach to fund the fleet.
* Vehicle costs are distributed back to the departments; which
allows a more accurate picture of service delivery costs.
* Money can be budgeted for fleet replacement without the necessity of
making detailed fleet replacement decisions during the budget process.
* The city has more accurate data to use in making long range financial
planning decisions, and is protected from future "hidden" costs of
massive vehicle expenditures in anyone year.

Dear Mayor and Members of City Council:
The office of the City Treasurer has compiled the City's first Financial
Management Plan for your rE:vie\./ at the Feb\'":Jary 7,1983 Study Session. The
plan is comprised of three sections, t~e F~nilncial Assessment Report, the
Financial Policies and a Sales Tax Arlalysis. These three re001't::; have been
grouped together as a Financial Management Plan so that the staff and council
can utilize them in considering financial policy de:isions. This plan will
be updated every May and be presented to the City Council prior to the annual
budget process. A detailed Revenue Manual will also be available for analysis
in these pre budget sessions.
The Financial Assessment Report (pages 1-14) is based on a financial reporting
system developed by the International City Management Associat~on and is useful
in gaining an overall perspective of the City's financial condition. This report
is useful in monitoring long term financial trends and should be considered in
light of major revenue and/or expenditure decisions. This report is also useful
in monitol'ing the long term success or failure of various financial policy or
budget management decisions.
The Financial Dolicies (pages 15-21) are for the purpose of clarifying the
City Council's policy directives on var~ous financial management matters. It
is our goal to be able to pass a resolution adopting Financial Policies in
February, 1983. There are several issues contained in the Financial Policies
that require a council policy directive before the staff can proceed with related
administrative matters. Some of these issues are the use of a revenue manual,
fleet management fund, banking relationships and investment philosophy.
The Sales Tax Analysis is an informat~onal report that is designed to give the
City Cou~cil an in death look at the geographic and business origins of Wheat
Ridge Sales Tax Revenues.
Respectfully submitted,

FINANCIAL ASSESSMENT REPORT
INTRODUCTION
The methodology used in this financial assessment report is based on the
International City Management Association's financial trend monitoring system.
This is a management tool that combines information from City financial and
budgetary reports with data from the United States Census Bureau that can be
plotted over a period of time to monitor changes in major financial trends.
The time frame for this analysis is the period from 1971 until 1981. This
analysis is designed to identify financial trends in time to take appropriate
action and to provide input for the establishment of long term financial goals
and policies. This analysis concerns only the City's General Fund although
the Sales and Use Tax information is also useful in discussions of the Capital
Improvement Fund.
Much of the data in this report is adjusted through the use of the national
consumer price index from the 1971 base year. While the CPI is a useful tool, it
should be realized that it can only approximate inflation's effect on local
government since local public sector expenditures are not necessarily the same as
those used in the CPl. By use of the CPI real growth rates can be calculated in
terms of 1971 dollars; the methodology f6r the use of the C.P.I. is shown on page 14.
This financial assessment is not intended to provide specific answers or recommen-
dations based on the information presented here. It is intended to be the first
step in a two step process. The second step being the adoption of a set of financial -
goals and policies to help both the staff and the City Council make better financial
decisions. It is also intended that these indicators will be updated annually prior
to the consideration of the annual budget so that the City Council and staff may
have current trend information for the budgetary process.

In graphic form this shows the relative importance of the major sources of general
fund revenue. The two major areas that have increased proportionately are Sales
and Use Taxes and Miscellaneous Revenue. The reason that Miscellaneous Revenue
has increased is because of interest income.

The relationship between Revenues, Expenditures, and the Fund Balance is clearly
shown here. Whenever revenues greatly exceed expenditures, a fund balance occurs
from 1978 to 1981 this occurred in four successive years which caused rapid fund _
balance growth. In 1982 it is projected that the fund balance will begin to decreasi

An examination of per capita revenue shows how revenues change relative to
Wheat Ridge's stable population level. Wheat Ridge's per capita revenue, vlhen
adjusted for inflation has shown a real growth rate of 4.7~ annually over the
last ten years which has allowed for the addition of new services.

Sales and Use tax has performed better than any of our other revenue sources. Sales and
Use taxes are elastic revenues that react quickly to changes in the economic base. In
times of inflation they increase dramatically, but can decrease just as dramatically in_
recessionary or depressed economy. In the State of Colorado, Sales Taxes are growing in
dominance within municipal revenue structures. fhe City of Wheat Ridge is excessively
reliant on sales tax revenue and should have a conservative contingency fund policy to
protect against a downturn in these revenues.
Sales and Use taxes have a real growth rate of 9.0% from 1971 - 1981.

Property Tax revenues are tied to an equitable assessment process that produces
stable revenue increases. 2ecause of inflation and the more rapid growth rates
of other revenue sources property tax.es have becor.1e proportionately less important
in the Wheat Ridge General Fund revenue structure. The real qrowth rate of propert)
taxes has declined at an annual rate of 3.8% from 1971 - 1981.

Intergovernmental Revenues are any revenues received from another Governmental entity. These-
revenues are important to monitor because over-dependence on intergovernmental revenues can
have an adverse impact on financial condition. These revenues are difficult to estimate
because we do not have access to detai.led information regarding them and we are not in close-
communication with the decision-making bodies that make policy regarding them.
In the past ten years, intergovernmental revenues as a percentage of General Fund revenues ir
Wheat Ridge have been on a downward trend. The four revenue sources comprisina intergovern--
mental revenue are cigarette tax, county road and bridge tax, highway users tax, and motor
vehicle registration. The real growth rate of these revenues grew to a peak in 1976 and has
declined steadily since.

Since 1975 Wheat Ridge's actual revenues have exceeded Budgeted Revenue by at least
5%. This has contributed to Fund Balance gro~th and shows a need for improved
accuracy in revenue forecasting techniques used in the budget preparation orocess.
Sales tax is an elastic source of revenue and because it comprises a greater pro-
portion of cur o'/eral1 revenues every jEar, revenues must be estin;a ced SOih..dhat

In real dollar terms, the City of Wheat Ridge experienced 11.9% annual growth
from 1971 - 1974, this is due to rapid service growth involved in reaching our
present service level. Since 1974 the real growth rate in expenditures has been
zero.

PER CAPITA STATISTICS
Several of the indicators in this report are done on a per capita basis. This means a
dollar amount per resident; the population figures below were used to compute all per
capita statistics used in this report. The per capita income statistics used on the graph
in page 10 are also listed below. Both the population and per capita income information
were obtained from the United States Census Bureau.
CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (CPI)
The cost of living adjustments shown on several of the graphs were developed using the
CPI factors listed below. These factors were taken from the Bureau of Labor Statistics-
All Urban Consumers Index. This is a measure of how inflation effects the average consumer.-
The assumption made on our graphs is that local governments are affected at a similar rate.
Since 1971 is the base year used it has the value of 100; 1981 is 225; what this means is
that one 1981 dollar is only worth 100/225 1971 dollars or 44.45 cents. Another way of
looking at it is it ta%es 22J 1981 dollars to equal 100 1971 dollars.

OPERATING BUDGET POLICIES
BALANCED BUDGET
The City of Wheat Ridge budget will balance operating
expenditures with operating revenues.
Every adopted budget will balance projected revenues
and projected expenditures. Use of transfers from
other funds or the fund balance will be minimized
because of the long-term negative effects of using
a one-time revenue source to balance the budget.
EXPENDITURE AND REVENUE REPORTING
The City will orepare a monthly report comparing actual
revenues and e~penditures witn budgeted revenues and
expenditures.
This is the current practice.
~LEET ~F.,NAGEi~EiiT ~C)REC=,":I'Ji: FU~m
Through the use of a fleet management fund, the City
will annually budget sufficient funds for the regular
maintt:narrce, repair and repl i.tcement of all City vehicl es.
This fund will be established and monies budgeted
beginning with the 1984 Budget.
MAINTENANCE OF CAPITAL ASSETS
The adopted operating budget will provide sufficient
funds for the regular repair and maintenance of all
City of Wheat Ridge capital assets. The budget should
not be balanced by deferring these expenditures.
Through the budget process appropriate expenditure
levels will be determined.
EMPLOYEE PIW
The City of Wheat Ridge will pay its employees on a
parity basis with pay plans of similar cities in the
Denver Metropolitan area.
Every year as part of the budget process, the City shall
conduct a salary survey to determine and thereafter to
pay Wheat Ridge employees wages equivalent to those
generally prevailing for similar work performed by
municipal employees in similar cities in the Denver
metropolitan area.

SALES TAX ANALYSIS
On page one of the Financial Assessment Report it shows that Sales and Use Taxes
have risen from 1/3 to 1/2 of our General Fund Revenue in the last ten years.
Because Sales Tax is our largest revenue source it is especially important that
the City Council and staff understand the location and types of businesses that
pruduce our Sales Tax Revenue.
The Sales Tax Sources shown on page 23 shows that about 2/3 of the City Sales Tax
base is composed of rapidly consumable necessities such as Public Utilities, Food,
Liquor and Prescription Drugs. These are stable and continuous sources of revenue
for the City. Less than 5% of the City Sales Tax base comes from department store
and entertainment industries that are highly susceptible to fluctuations in the
economy. Sales Tax is an unpredictable revenue to accurately estimate, but the type
of Sales Tax base in Wheat Ridge is relatively stable.
In SepLer::ber 1982, ti";2 .':"~;Jle\"lood ,:or,~f;1~rcial area produced 27.0c~ of the Cityls
Sales TcL< Revenue as is 3nOI,'in on ~)'J.ce 24. P., \fear e:::rlier.. ,i-';DD1;:::'.~oQa croducer1 j<.j.',
of the Cityls S2ies TflA (:ev2nU2'l thls is in spite of t:le f1CtO tr:<1t .i1oPle:locu CGiJtJir:s
only 5.9% (48) of the City's active Sales Tax Licenses (817). The old Wheat Ridge
area east of Wadsworth expel'ienced dramatic sales tax growth between 1981 and 1982,
but produces only about 20% of the Applewood area on a per license basis.
All of the information contained on pages 23 and 24 was taken from an analysis of
the September, 1982 Sales Tax Returns by the Budget/Finance Assistant. These
figures will differ from official records since about half of Wheat Ridge's Sales
Tax licenses are handled on a quarterly basis and the larger returns are processed
on a monthly basis. In order to come up with a more accurate estimate of geographic
and business type percentage distribution, the third quarter 1982 data from the
small business was divided by one-third and analyzed as September, 1982 data. This
practice provides us with a more accurate picture of actual percentage distributions
but does not match our actual September, 1982 Sales Tax Returns. These figures
includ~ approximately 2% retail use taxes that cannot be separated in this type of
analysls.

Dear Mayor and Members of city Council:
The Office of the City Treasurer has updated the city's
Financial Management Plan that was first presented to the
City Council last year. This plan is composed of five
sections: Financial Assessment Report; Financial policies;
Sales Tax Analysis; Revenue Manual and the Fleet Management
program. This plan will be updated each year and given to
the Council. This year it has been prepared early because of
concern over the City's financial condition and Sales Tax
Revenues in particular.
Dan Dible has done a great deal of research into our Sales
Tax returns from 1981 until the present with the help of
Jacque Wedding, our Sales Tax Auditor and Greg Sasse, our
Data Systems Programmer. The result of this research is a
greatly expanded Sales Tax Analysis Section (pages 25 - 37)
As far as I know this type of report is unique within this
state. I would recommend that you review this section along
with the Financial Assessment Report (pages 1 - 16) as they
will be discussed at a future meeting.
Sincerely,
'J

FINANCIAL ASSESSMENT REPORT
-
-
INTRODUCTION
The methodology used in this financial assessment report is
based on the International City Management Association's
financial trend monitoring system. This is a management
tool that combines information from City financial and
budgetary reports with data from the United States Census
Bureau that can be plotted over a period of time to monitor
changes in major financial trends.
The time frame for this analysis is the period from 1971
until 1983. This analysis is designed to identify financial
trends in time to take appropriate action and to provide
input for the establishment of long term financial goals and
policies. This analysis concerns only the City's General
Fund, although the Sales and Use Tax portion is also useful
in discussion of the Capital Improvement Fund. This is the
second year in which this analysis has been prepared.
Much of the data in this report is adjusted through the use
of the national consumer price index from the 1971 base
year. While the CPI is a useful tool, it should be realized
that it can only approximate inflation's effect on local
government since local public sector expenditures are not
necessarily the same as those used in the CPl. By the use
of the CPI, real growth rates can be calculated in terms of
1971 dollars; the methodology for the use of the CPI is
shown on page 16.
This financial assessment is not intended to provide
specific answers or recommendations based on the information
presented here. These graphs will help the City Council and
staff to make policy and operational decisions with greater
awareness of financial trends.

In graphic form this shows the relative importance of the major sources
of General Fund Revenue. The two major areas that have increased
proportionately are Sales and Use Taxes and Miscellaneous Revenue. In
1983 Miscellaneous Revenue declined dramatically because of decreased
interest earnings.

This graph shows the relative distribution of General Fund Expenditures
from 1971 on. All departments have gained proportionately except Public
Works, since 1978 the expenditure trend has remained fairly constant.
General Government includes Community Development, Finance, Mayor, City
Council, City Administrator, Municipal Court, City Clerk, and City
Attorney.

This graph corresponds to the graph on page 5 but the values are adjusted
for inflation using the Consumer Price Index shown on page 16. 1983
marks the first time in several years that actual expenditures have
exceeded actual revenues, and also shows a sharp decline in the fund
balance.

The relationship between Revenues, Expenditures and the Fund Balance is
clearly shown here.Whenever revenues ;reatly exceed expenditures, a funa
balance occurs, from 1978- 1982 this occured in five successive years
which caused rapid fund balance growth. In 1983 the fund balance
declined because $395,000 was transfered to other funds and actual
expenditures exceeded actual revenues for the first time in many years.

An examination of per capita revenue shows how revenues change relative
to Wheat Ridge's stable population level. Wheat Ridge's per capita
revenue, when adjusted for inflation has shown a rea1 growth rate of 2.8%
annually over the last ten years and has allowed for the addition of new
services.

Sales and Use Tax has performed better than any of our other revenue
sources. Sales and Use taxes are elastic revenues that react quickly to
changes in the economic base. In times of inflation they increase
dramatically, but can decrease just as dramatically in a recessionary or
depressed economy. In the State of Colorado, Sales Taxes are growing in
dominance within municipal revenue structures. The City of Wheat Fidge
is excessively reliant on Sales Tax revenue and should have a
conservative contingency fund policy to protect against a downturn in
these revenues. In 1983 General Fund Sales Tax declined .8% (20,000)
from 1982, but Use Tax was up 16.7%. Sales and Use Taxes have had a real
growth rate of 6.3% from 1973-1983.

Property Tax revenues are tied to an equitable assessment process that
produces stable revenue increases. Because of inflation and more rapid
growth rates of other revenue sources property taxes have become
proportionally less important in the Wheat Ridge General Fund revenue
structure. The real growth rate of property taxes has declined at an
annual rate of 4.0% from 1973- 1983.

Intergovernmental Revenues are any revenues received from another
governmental entity. These revenues are important to monitor because
overrate on intergovernmental revenues can have an adverse impact
on financial condition. These revenues are difficult to estimate because
we do not have access to detailed information regarding them and Ne are
not in close communication with the decision making bodies that make
policies regarding them.
In the past ten years, intergovernmental revenues as a percentage of
General Fund revenues in Wheat Ridge have been on a downward trend. The
four revenue sources comprising intergovernmental revenue are cigarette
tax, county road and bridge tax, highway users tax and motor vehicle
registration. The real growth rate of these revenues grew to a peak in
1976 and declined steadily until 1983 when county road and bridge tax
revenue increased dramatically.

From 1975-1982 Wheat Ridge's actual revenues exceeded budgeted revenue
and since 1971 expenditures have fallen well below the established
budgeted level. These two occurances accounted for rapid fund balance _ I
growth. In 1983 this trend changed with actual expenditures exceeding
actual revenues, and nearly reaching the budgeted expenditure level.

In real dollar terms, the City of Wheat Ridge experienced 11.9% annual
growth between 1971-1974,this is due to rapid service growth involved in
reaching our present service level. From 1975-1982, the real growth rate
of General Fund Expenditures was zero, but in 1983 real expenditures
increased dramatically.

The graph above shows a fairly constant relationship between Wheat Ridge
General Fund Per Capita Expenditures and the average resident's
income.From 1974- 1982 the City of Wheat Ridge General Fund spent about
1.4% of the income earned by it's citizens, in the same period. In the
past two years this ratio has increased dramatically, but we do not have
actual income data for Wheat Ridge ~esidents'since 1979, so data f~om
1981 on is speculative.

This graph shows that the fund b~lance growth has been dramatic since
1974. In the period 1974- 1982 the fund balance has experienced an annual
real growth rate of 47%. Since the real growth in expenditures from 1974-
1982 had been zero,us shown on page 11; all of the real revenue growth
went towards producing a larger fund balance. In 1983 this trend changed
with a dramatic decline in the General Fund Balance due to increasing
expenditures, declining revenues and transfers to other funds.

PER CAPITA STATISTICS
Several of the indicators in this report are done on a per capita 'Jasis.
This means a dollar amount per resident; the population figures below
were used to compute all per capita statistics used in this report. The
per capita income statistics used on the graph on page 10 are also listed
below. Both the population and per capita income information were
obtained from the United States Census Bureau.
CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (CPI)
The cost of living adjustments shown on several of the graphs were
developed using the CPI factors listed below. These factors were taken
from the Bureau of Labor Statistics- All Urban Consumers Index. This is
a measure of how inflation affects the average consumer. The assumption
made on the graphs is that local governments are affected at a similar
rate. Since 1971 is the base year used it has the value of 100; 1981 is
225; what this means is that one 1981 dollar is only worth 100/225 1971
dollars or 44.45 cents. Another way of looking at it is, it takes 225
1981 dollars to equal 100 1971 dollars.

OPERATING BUDGET POLICIES
BALANCED BUDGET
The City of Wheat Ridge budget will balance operating
expenditures with operating revenues.
Every adopted budget will balance projected revenues
and projected expenditures. Use of transfers from
other funds or the fund balance will be minimized
because of the long-term negative effects of using
a one-time revenue source to balance the budget.
EXPENDITURE AND REVENUE REPORTING
The City will prepare a monthly report comparing actual
revenues and expenditures with budgeted revenues and
expenditures.
This is the current practice.
FLEET MANAGEMENT DEPRECIATION FUND
Through the use of a fleet management fund, the City
will annually budget sufficient funds for the regular
maintenance, repair and replacement of all City vehiclE_,
This fund will be established and monies budgeted
beginning with the 1984 Budget.
MAINTENANCE OF CAPITAL ASSETS
The adopted operating budget will provide sufficient
funds for the regular repair and maintenance of all
City of Wheat Ridge capital assets. The budget should
not be balanced by deferring these expenditures.
Through the budget process appropriate expenditure
1 eve 1 s wi 11 be determi ned,
EMPLOYEE PAY
The City of Wheat Ridge will pay its employees on a
parity basis with pay plans of similar cities in the
Denver Metropolitan area.
Every year as part of the budget process, the City shalT
conduct a salary survey to determine and thereafter to
pay Wheat Ridge employees wages equivalent to those
generally prevailing for similar work performed by
municipal employees in similar cities in the Denver
metropolitan area.

lation but for investment, considering the probable
safety of their capital as well as the probable income
to be derived.
Implementation
The City Treasurer is responsible for all of Wheat
Ridge's investments, and evaluates all investment
opportunities with respect to this policy. Because
the City's need for funds is not constant, the City
Treasurer should schedule investments such that there
is as little idle cash as practical.

SALES TAX ANALYSIS
On page 2 of the Financial Assessment Report it IS shown
that Sales and Use Taxes have risen from 1/3 to 1/2 of
General Fund Revenue in the last 13 years. Because Sales
Tax is our largest re~~nue source it is p3rticularly
important that the City Council and staff understand as muc~
as possible about the types, location and financial
importance of our various sales tax licenses and their
recent performance.
On page 26 a pie graph for the month of September 1982 shows
the relative weight of our various sources of sales tax
revenue. page 27 shows a relative distribution by geographic
zone for the same month.
Pages 28- 35 are presented for the first time this year.
They show quarterly progress, actual licenses and pertinent
comments for various types of licenses and geographic zones.
On page 36 these graphs are summarized on a statistical
table.
All of the Sales Tax data presented in this section is for
all funds and is collected on a period basis; for example
the 4th quarter 1983 contains the actual sales from
Oct.-Dec. 1983. This data is summarized for all funds as
relates to budgeted revenue on page 37.

REVENUE MANUAL
The purpose of this manual is to provide detailed information
on all of the City of Wheat Ridge's General Fund revenues. On
page 40, the total General Fund revenues since 1971 are
analyzed in the financial mode. This page contains the Budget
figure, Actual figure, per-cent change from previous year and
per-cent error columns.
The Budget column contains the amount of revenue that was
estimated during the budget preparation process. The Actual
column shows the total amount of revenue that was recieved
during that fiscal year; these figures come from the annual
financial report which is presented every spring for the
previous fiscal year. The figures represented in the Budget
column were estimated twenty months earlier. The twenty
month time lag accounts for the disparity between the budget
and actual amounts. This disparity is measured in the
percentage error column; a figure of 1100 is a perfect
estimate, less than 11010 is an underestimate and a figure over
11010 is an over estimate.
On page 42 property Tax revenues are analyzed in the
financial mode, at the bottom of the notes column a 1973
-1983 annual growth rate of 3.99% is shown, this is the
annual percentage rate the actual revenues have increased.
The policy regarding City of Wheat Ridge property tax is
shown on pages 45 - 46. This shows the legal and
administrative framework of Wheat Ridge property tax revenue.
The policy component of the Revenue Manual is designed to
centralize and clarify all policy issues pertaining to
General Fund Revenues.

FLEET MANAGEMENT PLAN
-
FLEET MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The 1984 Budget contains two new accounts; 772 - Fleet Repair/ Maintenance and 807 -
Fleet Replacement. These accounts will be the only two expenditure categories in a
new Fleet Maintenance Fund that will be created through the 1984 Budget process.
The details of how this fund will function are shown in the next few pages.
The basic principle of this program is that all listed vehicles are "owned" by the
Fleet Maintenance Fund and leased back to user departments. The departments wll:
use a portion of their budgets to fund Account 772 whic']' ".,ill cover ;:he ",,-tire cost
of the fleet maintenance program for their vehicles. This includes all personnel,
facilities, equipment, parts, fuel and oil associated with the maintenance and
operation of the fleet. The costs in the 1984 Budget are shown on the Fleet Lease
Summary on page 120 in the M/O Costs column. For example, the City Administrator
will budget $1,296 to cover the costs associated with maintaining and operating the
assigned vehicle in 1984. The cost of $1,296 was determined using the M&O Rates on
the Fleet Leasing Schedule. These rates were arrived at by a thorough analysis of
existing fleet maintenance records. The total of M/O costs will equal the 1984 Shops
budget.
The second category in the Fleet Maintenance Fund is funded through Account 807.
This category will be used to replace and/or rebuild the fleet. In 1983 all fleet
replacement costs were covered by the Federal Revenue Sharing Program; this amounted
to a budgeted expenditure of $336,500. Account 807 is designed to fund the replacement
of all vehicles within the existing fleet. All additions to the fleet will have the
full purchase price budgeted in Accounts 808 or 809 and also budget future replacement,
maintenance and operations costs in the Fleet Maintenance Fund. The City Administrator
will budget $648* to cover the costs of fleet replacement in Account 807. This cost
was determined using the R&D Rates on the Fleet Leasing Schedule. These rates have
been arrived at through surveys of other cities and are fairly standard because
vehicle costs and useful life are similar in most cities. The total R&D Costs for
1984 on page 120 is $280,252 which is $56,248 less than was budgeted in 1983.
There are a number of advantages in using this approach to fund the fleet.
* Vehicle costs are distributed back to the departments; which
allows a more accurate picture of service delivery costs.
* Money can be budgeted for fleet replacement without the necessity of
making detailed fleet replacement decisions during the budget process.
* The city has more accurate data to use in making long range financial
planning decisions, and is protected from future "hidden" costs of
massive vehicle expenditures in anyone year.
* This cost of $648 represents half of the Fleet Replacement Cost, the
other half of this cost is contained in the Revenue Sharing budget on
page 130 of the 1984 Budget.
