APPRECIATION
This financial plan includes the ideas and recommendations of many citizens,
the City Council and City staff. During the year many suggestions are received
from citizens in the City Council hearings and informal contacts. The major
impact of the City Council upon this financial plan is in the priorities and
programs adopted by the City Council during the current year.
While other departments were intensely in volved in the preparation of this
financial plan, most of the credit for this document goes to the members of the
Finance Department. Particular gratitude is expressed to the City Manager,
Finance Director, Budget/Management Analyst, Finance Management Analyst,
Finance Administrative Secretary, Document Services Center and Information
Technology Services.
While we surely appreciate all contributions to this budget, it must be
remembered that the real thanks must go to the City employees, who, on a daily
basis, transform this document into the City’s program of services.

Overview
FINANCIAL PLAN OVERVIEW
This Three-Year Financial Plan is for fiscal years FY2012 through FY2014, which begin July 1 and end June
30. The Financial Plan includes our one-year annual budget, required by Iowa Code, and provides two
projection years as a planning tool. The purpose of the overview is to disclose the basis on which the
financial plan has been prepared.
The role of a government's operating budget differs from that of a private business. Budgets are an
important internal planning tool for business, but they also play an external role for governmental entities. A
multi-year financial plan informs parties inside and outside government of future objectives and provision of
services to its constituents.
The three-year plan also permits a more comprehensive review of the City’s financial condition, allowing
analysis of current and future needs and requirements. During preparation of the plan, careful review is
made of property tax levy rates, utility and user fee requirements, ending cash balances by fund, debt
service obligations, bond financing needs, capital outlay for equipment purchases, and major capital
improvement projects.
This document contains operating budgets for the governmental funds: general, special revenue, debt
service, capital project and permanent funds. It also includes business type funds and internal service
funds. Budgets are summarized by major revenue and expenditure categories within each division. A
separate, multi-year Capital Improvements Program (CIP) shows budgeted revenue and expenditures for
FY2011 through FY2015.
The cash basis of accounting has been used for preparation of this document. Revenues are recorded
when received, not necessarily when they are earned, and expenditures are recorded when paid instead of
when they are incurred. The Finance Administration Division monitors actual receipts and expenditures
carefully on a line-item basis. Department directors are ultimately responsible for ensuring that the divisions
under their control stay within budget.

FINANCIAL AND FISCAL POLICIES
The City of Iowa City's financial policies set forth the basic framework for the overall fiscal
management of the City. These policies assist the decision-making process of the City Council.
These policies provide guidelines for evaluating both current activities and proposals for future
programs.
Most of the policies represent long-standing principles, traditions and practices, and follow
generally accepted accounting principles which have guided the City in the past and have helped
maintain financial stability.
OPERATING BUDGET POLICIES
The City will prepare an annual balanced budget for all operating funds.
The City will maintain a budgetary control system to ensure adherence to the budget and
will prepare monthly reports comparing actual revenues and expenditures to budgeted
amounts.
Operating budgets are established on a fund/department/program basis.
A contingency account will be maintained in the annual General Fund operating budget to
provide for unanticipated expenditures or to meet unexpected small increases in service
delivery costs, budgeted annually at approximately ¾ of one percent of expenditures and
transfers out. The City Council will be informed semi-annually on staff initiated amendments
from the contingency account to the operating programs within the General Fund.
Budget amendments may be made throughout the year with approval of the Department
Director, Director of Finance and the City Manager. The City Council formally reviews and
approves all amendments processed by staff twice a year in August/September and May.
Increases or amendments to operating budgets are made only in the following situations:
- emergency situations
- transfer from contingency
- expenditures with offsetting revenues or fund balance
- carry-over of prior year budget authority for expenses that had not been paid as of the end
of the fiscal year.
OPERATING BUDGET PREPARATION CRITERIA
General Guidelines
Maintain the fiscal integrity of the City’s operating and capital improvement budgets in order
to provide services and to construct and maintain the City’s infrastructure.
Maintain the City’s responsible fiscal position and AAA bond rating.
- 5 -
Present budget data to the City Council in a format that will facilitate annual budget
decisions based on a three-year planning perspective. Provide the City Council with a
summary of the three-year forecasts.
Encourage citizen involvement in the annual budget decision-making process through
public hearings, informal meetings, budget briefs and related informational efforts.
Service Level Guidelines
Deliver service levels which are consistent with the citizens' willingness to pay and the City's
available resources.
Base decisions to reduce service levels or eliminate programs on City-wide priorities.
Recognize that City employees are one of the City government's most valuable resources
and are essential to the delivery of high quality, efficient services.
Revenue Guidelines
Property tax levy rates will not exceed the limits as established by the State of Iowa.
Revise user fee rate structures to charge the costs of service provided to the benefiting
customers, while maintaining sensitivity to the needs of low income citizens.
Support federal and state legislation which provides property tax relief. Oppose legislation
which imposes local service mandates without fiscal support.
Expenditure Guidelines
Support responsible management efforts to increase productivity by providing resources for
office automation, preventive maintenance, risk management/employee safety, and
employee training.
REVENUE POLICIES
The City will try to maintain a diversified and stable revenue system to minimize short-run
fluctuations in any one revenue source.
The City will attempt to maximize benefits from major revenue sources as a way of
maintaining a stable property tax rate.
The City will follow an aggressive policy of collecting revenues.
The City will establish all user charges and fees at a level related to the full cost (operating,
direct, and indirect) of providing the service, whenever practical.
The City will review licenses, fees, and charges annually to determine if the revenues
support the cost of providing the service.
Property tax funding for recreation activities will not exceed 60% of operational costs with
the exclusion of capital outlay and other improvements.
- 6 -
Parking, Refuse, Wastewater Treatment, Stormwater, Landfill, Broadband
Telecommunications and Water funds will be self-supporting through user fees.
- Rate adjustments will be submitted to the City Council by ordinance if state or locally
legislated, or by resolution (if not state or locally legislated).
The City will use up to 5% of the annual Road Use Tax allocation to fund employee benefits
for the Streets and Traffic Engineering personnel.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT POLICIES
It shall be the policy of Iowa City to maintain an economic development plan. The
purpose of the plan is to attract new development including residential, commercial and
industrial uses. Further, the purpose of the plan is to retain the city's existing business
operations and to encourage them to expand and foster spin-off business operations. The
city's plan also supports organizations which help to incubate, grow, foster, and create
new business operations by providing non-traditional collaborative environments.
The expected results of the economic development plan are: increased economic activity,
more jobs, lower unemployment, higher wages, greater property values, more tax
revenues, more ownership and entrepreneurial opportunities and revitalization of
underutilized or blighted areas.
The city will consider the use of incentive programs including city, state and federal
economic development funds, tax increment financing, public private partnerships and
other tools in order to achieve the expected results.
Various evaluative tools including financial pro forma's, written evaluation reports,
established benefit metrics, and other performance tools shall be used to monitor the use
of economic incentives from the early stages of project development through the
issuance of an incentive and post incentive to make sure the objectives are met.
Developers who receive incentives will be expected to enter into development
agreements which delineate the terms, conditions, understandings and the expected
results of receiving an incentive.
It will be the policy of the City of Iowa City to endeavor to attract, recruit, retain, foster and
develop business that is new to our region or metropolitan statistical area (MSA) through
the use of incentives. The city will not actively recruit business from other jurisdictions
within our MSA unless a business is seeking to expand or considering a relocation
outside the state. Should businesses from jurisdictions within our MSA wish to locate in
the City of Iowa City we will notify our neighboring jurisdiction of the interest. It will be the
general practice of the City of Iowa City to not provide economic incentives to business
wishing to relocate from another jurisdiction within our MSA unless a business is seeking
to expand or considering a relocation outside the state.
When incentive programs are utilized they will be used to maximize the benefits to the
City of Iowa City. The dollar amount of the incentive and time duration of the incentive
shall be smallest amount necessary to achieve the maximum amount of city benefit as
determined by the City of Iowa City, City Council.
- 7 -
Despite the need for the program to be flexible and nimble in order to respond to the ever
changing economic conditions of the marketplace it will be the policy of the city to insure
that the process of using incentives is an open and transparent public process which
instills confidence in the public’s understanding of how economic development incentives
are utilized.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM BUDGET POLICIES
The City will develop a multi-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP), which will be
reviewed and updated annually, comply with City Council goals and be compatible with the
Comprehensive Plan whenever possible.
The complete multi-year CIP funding plan must be balanced each year by matching
projected expenditures with proposed revenue sources by fund.
Funding for projects should be obtained through borrowing from:
- bond market, general obligation or revenue bonds
- enterprise fund operations and reserves
- internal loans
The City may utilize General Fund cash balances to fund capital projects whenever
available and feasible. For the Airport, it is policy that the General Fund will match up to
$100,000 in grants received per year.
The City shall utilize available funding sources for capital improvements whenever practical
and feasible such as but not limited to:
- federal and state grant funds
- special assessments
- developer contributions
The City will maintain its physical assets at a level adequate to protect the City's capital
investment and to minimize future maintenance and replacement costs. The budget will
provide for the adequate maintenance and the orderly replacement of the capital plant and
equipment from current revenues when possible.
RESERVE POLICIES
The City will establish a contingency line-item in the annual General Fund operating budget
to provide for unanticipated expenditures or to meet unexpected small increases in service
delivery costs, budgeted at ¾ of one percent of expenditures and transfers out.
Operating cash balances at fiscal year-end will be maintained at a level to ensure sufficient
cash flow throughout the fiscal year. General Fund cash balances will not go below 15%,
with a ceiling of 25%. Cash balances in excess of 25% will be considered for tax relief.
Reserves will be maintained in the Water, Wastewater and Parking Funds in accordance
with existing bond covenant provisions.
Reserves will be maintained for equipment replacement and for unexpected major repairs in
the following areas: Parking, Wastewater, Water, Landfill, Transit, Broadband
- 8 -
Telecommunication, Equipment Replacement, Information Technology Services, and
Central Services as well as Library Computer Equipment and Parkland Acquisition and
Replacement.
Reserves, based on actuaries, will be maintained for the Risk Management Loss Reserve,
Medical and Dental Insurance Funds.
All City trucks, cars and necessary accessories will be maintained on a replacement cost
basis each year. A separate reserve fund has been set up to fund these replacements.
Additions to the fleet are made through allocations in the annual budget. Fire Department
vehicles and Transit buses will be purchased through the issuance of debt.
All general obligation debt will be paid from the Debt Service Fund. General Obligation debt
applicable to Enterprise Fund projects will be paid out of the Debt Service Fund, but will be
abated from revenues from the respective Enterprise Fund(s).
INVESTMENT POLICIES
Disbursement, collection, and deposit of all funds will be managed to insure maximum
investment opportunity for City funds.
The City will strive to maximize the return on its investment portfolio, with the primary
objective of preserving capital in accordance with the City's investment policy and prudent
investment practices.
All City funds not restricted by bond issue covenants will be pooled for investments, with
interest allocations made monthly.
DEBT POLICIES
The City will confine long-term borrowing to capital improvements and Community and
Economic Development initiatives. Short term borrowing will be applicable for large dollar
rolling stock (buses, fire apparatus) purchases and computer systems.
Total general obligation debt will not exceed 5% of total taxable assessed value of real
property.
The debt service property tax levy shall not exceed 30% of the total property tax levy.
The City will follow a policy of full disclosure on every financial report and bond prospectus.
The City will use "pay as you go" financing to fund general capital improvement projects,
whenever feasible and practical.
- 9 -
COMPENSATED ABSENCES
Administrative employees hired prior to June 15, 1983 and all other employees hired prior to June
29, 1985, upon death, retirement or termination (except firefighters) are entitled to be paid for one-
half of the total accumulated sick leave hours at the current effective hourly rate for that employee
up to the sick leave payout amount calculated as of June 28, 1985, whichever is less.
After June 28, 1985, employees accumulate vacation, sick leave, and other benefits at various
rates depending on bargaining group and length of service. Employees are paid for their total
unused vacation time upon death, termination (except firefighters) or retirement. However, sick
leave can only be used during employment. The cost of compensated absences are recognized
when payments are made to employees and the City amends the budget at that time.
ACCOUNTING, AUDITING, AND FINANCIAL REPORTING POLICIES

A three-year financial plan for all operating funds will be prepared by the City Manager and
presented to the City Council for their review.
A Multi-Year Capital Improvement Program budget will be prepared, reviewed and revised
annually.
An independent audit will be performed annually for all City funds.
The City will produce a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles as outlined by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board.

City Procurement Policy/Purchasing manual.
Methods of source selection are as follows:

-Major Purchases
The Purchasing Division operates a "voluntary purchasing" system rather than a complete

not have an interest, direct or indirect, in any contract or job of work or material or the
profits thereof or services to be furnished or performed for the officers or employees of the
City.
RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES
It shall be the policy of the City of Iowa City to assume the risk of property damage, liability
and dishonesty in all cases in which the exposure is so small or dispersed that the loss
would not significantly or adversely affect the operations or financial position of the City.
Insurance will not be purchased to cover loss exposures below prevailing
deductible/retention amounts of current insurance held by the City of Iowa City, unless such
insurance is required by statute or by contact, or in those instances in which it is desirable to
obtain special services, such as inspection or claim adjustment services in connection with
insurance. The deductible/retention amounts will be reviewed once annually by the Director
of Finance and the Risk Manager to ensure appropriateness of the amounts.
- 11 -
Insurance will be purchased where possible against all major exposures which might result
in loss in excess of the City's insurance reserve through the purchase of the following types
of insurance:
- All risk insurance on real and personal property.
- General liability insurance.
- Automobile liability insurance.
- Fidelity and crime insurance.
- Catastrophic workmen's compensation insurance.
The City will self-insure in those instances where the cost of insurance is so high that it
would be more cost effective to assume the risk.
Real property will be insured on replacement cost basis, as determined by a competent
appraisal service, against as wide a range of perils as possible. The value will be reviewed
once annually by the Risk Manager and the City's insurance advisor.
Loss prevention recommendations made by insurance companies, the state fire marshal or
local fire authorities will, whenever possible, be implemented. In those cases in which such
recommendations are not followed, a written report in which an explanation or justification is
made will be filed with the Director of Finance and the City Manager within 30 days of
receipt of the report.
Insurance will be purchased only through licensed agents or agencies who have the staff
and technical competence to adequately service the insurance provided.
Insurance will be placed only in insurance companies rated A+ or A in Bests. Insurance
placed in other companies will require a written report of the particulars, such report to be
filed with the Risk Manager.
The administration of the risk management policy will be a responsibility of the Risk
Manager. Such responsibility includes placement of insurance coverage, maintenance of
property appraisals and inventories, processing of claims and maintenance of loss records,
and supervision of loss prevention activities.
Settlement of claims are handled through the Risk Management Division and/or City
Attorney Office. The Risk Manager is authorized to settle claims up to $3,000, the City
Manager authorizes claim settlements between $3,000 and $20,000 and City Council
approval is needed for settlements above $20,000.

FINANCIAL PLAN ANALYSIS
I. PROPERTY TAXES
Property taxes are the largest revenue source for the City’s General Fund, accounting for sixty-two
percent (62%) of FY2012 revenue. There are a number of factors which determine the City’s tax levy
each year: property valuations by class, the annual Assessment Limitation Order or rollback, TIF district
valuations and rebates, statutory limits on individual tax levies, the City’s Financial and Fiscal Policies,
other financing sources and projected expenditures.
A. VALUATIONS:
1. 100% Assessment - Property valuations are set by the City and County Assessor. State law
requires that all real property be reassessed every two years, specifically in odd-numbered
years. Since 1995, valuations within the Iowa City corporate limits have increased an average
of ten percent (10%) in revaluation years and two percent (2%) in non-revaluation years.
Valuations reported by the Johnson County Assessor for January 1, 2010, serve as the basis
for estimating property tax revenue in FY2012. Their report indicates a 1.34% increase in total
assessed value from $4.38 billion to $4.44 billion in the last year.
2. Assessment Limitation Order / Rollback - The State of Iowa has a statutory growth limitation
of four percent (4%) annually on taxable property valuations by class (residential, commercial,
industrial, etc). Each year, the Department of Revenue’s Assessment Limitation Order sets a
‘rollback’ value by class which, when applied, determines taxable valuations. An additional
growth restriction is applied to the residential valuations, limiting growth in taxable value to
agricultural valuations. In other words, the percentage change in taxable valuations for urban
residential property each year is limited to either four percent (4%) or the growth in agricultural
property, whichever is lower.
The following graph illustrates the impact of the rollback on taxable valuations. In FY2003 the
residential rollback exempted $.75 billion of Iowa City’s residential assessed valuation. In
FY2012 the residential rollback will exempt $1.6 billion of residential assessed valuations. The
rollback for FY2012 is 48.5299% compared to FY2011 residential rollback of 46.9094%.

service levy and 3.30% for non-debt service levies over FY2011.
B. PROPERTY TAX LEVY RATES
The FY2012 property tax rate for the City of Iowa City is $17.842 per $1,000 of taxable valuation, and
higher by .48% than the FY2011 tax rate. The following graphic illustrates the combined effect of
annual changes in assessed valuations, assessment limitations (rollback) and the City levy rate.

LEVIES
- 15 -
The general property tax levy of $8.10 is to be used to support General Fund services such as those
provided by the Police and Fire Departments, Library, Senior Center, Parks and Recreation. This levy
cannot exceed $8.10 per $1000 of taxable assessed valuation per State law.
The Library tax levy of $.27 was voted in by a majority of the residents in 1991. The initial levy was used to
expand Library services and continues to maintain that level of service.
The Transit levy of $.95 is a "general" levy for transit operations which cannot exceed $.95 per $1,000 of
taxable assessed valuation.
The Tort Liability levy has no maximum and is based on estimated insurance premiums and claim losses
within the self-insured retention. The levy rate for FY2012 is estimated at $0.347, compared to $0.417 for
FY2011. The City’s self-insured retention amount is $400,000 per occurrence for worker’s compensation,
$500,000 for liability claims and $100,000 for city property claims.
The Employee Benefits property tax levy is used for the employer cost of the following benefits for
employees within the General and Road Use Tax Funds:
Health Insurance
Life Insurance
Disability Insurance
Worker's Compensation insurance premiums and claims
Unemployment Compensation
Social Security (FICA - 7.65%)
Iowa Public Employees Retirement System costs (IPERS)
Municipal Fire and Police Retirement System of Iowa (MFPRSI)
The Employee Benefit levy for FY2012 is $3.526, down (1.5%) when compared with the FY2011 levy of
$3.581. City council approved a $300,000 reduction in this levy’s tax asking as part of a greater effort to
reduce increases in the total tax rate. This was accomplished by funding a portion of Transit employee
benefits costs from the Transit Levy in FY2012.
The employee benefits levy rate is projected to increase seventeen percent (17.3%) in FY2013 to $4.137,
and an additional seven percent (7.3%) in FY2014 to $4.441. Factors contributing to this increase include
new public safety positions approved for FY2011, anticipated adjustments to the employer’s contribution
rate by Municipal Police and Fire Retirement System of Iowa (MFPRSI)1, and Transit Levy funding of
benefits in FY2012.
The Debt Service levy provides funding for principal and interest payments on outstanding general
obligation bonds. In FY2012, this levy is $4.649, compared with $4.438 in FY2011.
1 MFPRSI contribution rates are set annually by the state and based on an actuarial review. The
employer contribution rate for FY2012 is 24.76% of Police and Fire annual salaries . Information from
MFPRSI in October, 2010, indicates that the city’s contribution rate is expected to increase to 37.33%
within the next four years.

II. GENERAL FUND
General Fund is the City’s main operating fund and includes activities in the following areas: general
government administration, public work administration, public safety, cultural and recreational activities,
community and economic development.
A. GENERAL FUND - REVENUE
General Fund revenue is projected at $59,168,277 million in FY2012. A comparison of total General
Fund revenue between fiscal years is challenging due to a number of one-time transactions and
events. However, a more useful discussion by revenue classification is provided on the following
pages.

FY 2012 Budget
General Fund Revenue
$59,168,277
- 17 -
General Fund revenue is summarized into eight major categories. An analysis of each
category follows:
1. Property Taxes - Property tax revenue of $36.5 million is the primary funding source for General
Fund operations, providing an estimated sixty-two percent (62%) of total revenue in FY2012.
2. Other City Taxes – This category, estimated at $9.6 million in FY2012, includes local option sales
tax revenue of $7.8 million, $724,000 in Hotel Motel Taxes, $448,000 in gas and electric excise
taxes, and $565,000 in utility franchise taxes.
a) Local Option Sales Tax: A one percent (1%) sales tax was approved by voter referendum on
May 5, 2009, to provide funding for “remediation, repair and protection of flood-impacted public
infrastructure”. Sales tax revenue is being receipted into the General Fund and transferred to
the following capital projects designated by city Council as priorities under this definition:
relocation of facilities at North Wastewater, elevation of North Dubuque Street and the
reconstruction of Park Road Bridge. The sales tax went into effect on July 1, 2009.
b) Hotel Motel Tax: This revenue source is a state-administered tax. Estimated at $724,000 in
FY2012, the seven percent (7%) tax on gross hotel/motel room rental receipts is distributed as
follows:
c) Gas and Electric excise taxes on utility companies: The Gas and Electric Excise tax is a state-
legislated reclassification from property tax to usage tax. The tax is based on property tax rates
and valuations supplied by the State Department of Revenue & Finance.
d) Utility Franchise Taxes on utility customers: Senate File 478 was enacted by the Iowa state
legislature during its 2009 session, establishing cities’ right to impose a franchise tax on gas
and electric utilities. On February 16, 2010, the Iowa City Council passed and approved an
ordinance establishing a one percent (1%) tax2 to be expended for the following purposes:
1) Inspecting, supervising and otherwise regulating the MidAmerican Energy
Company’s gas and electric franchises.
2) Public safety, including the equipping of fire, police and emergency services.
3) Public infrastructure to support commercial and industrial economic development.
Of the $840,000 estimate for FY2012, $565,000 will go to the City’s General Fund for
maintenance of the right-of-way and operational costs associated with Fire Station #4. The
remaining $275,000 is for recurring Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) in the right of way.
3. Licenses & Permits –
This category consists of revenue received for building and rental housing permits/inspections,
plumbing license and taxi license fees; beer, liquor and cigarette permit/license fees (state
regulated), sign permits, burial permits, animal licensing and some miscellaneous fees. The
FY2012 budget for Licenses and Permits is estimated at $1.2 million.
City Council approved a 19.5% increase in rental inspection permit fees to be effective July 1, 2009.
The increase is projected to generate an additional $120,500 annually, when averaged over the
next two-year inspection cycle, FY2011-2012.
2 On December 7, 2009, the Iowa City Council passed and approved an ordinance establishing the franchise tax on gas and electric
utilities at two percent (2%). During the FY2011 budget work sessions, City Council directed staff to revise the three-year financial plan
assuming the franchise tax to be one percent (1%).
Convention & Visitor's Bureau 25.00%
Police Patrol 47.50%
Parks & Recreational Facilities 27.50%
Total Hotel Motel 7% Tax 100.00%
- 18 -
4. Use of Money & Property – This revenue source consists of interest income. The category is
budgeted at $114,346 in FY2012, down significantly from prior years due to the decrease in
interest income and the compounding effect as investments come due and are reinvested at a
lower rate.
5. Intergovernmental revenue is estimated at $3.8 million in FY2012, including state and federal
grants, 28-E agreements and contracts with local governmental entities.
The majority of intergovernmental revenue is the result of 28E agreements with local entities for
services provided to area residents, as shown in the following schedule. The largest of these
agreements is for fire protection services to the University of Iowa, estimated at $1.6 million in
FY2012, with $1.5 million receipted into the General Fund. The remainder is deposited into the
Employee Benefits Fund as reimbursement for a percentage of Fire employee benefits.

6. Charges for Services are estimated at $5.9 million in FY2012. Included within this category is an
administrative chargeback of $2.7 million to the City’s proprietary funds for services rendered by
administrative divisions. Other divisions with fee-based services include: Transit, Parks and
Recreation, Police (special events, contracted services), Fire (inspections), Housing & Inspection
Services, Animal Control and Cemetery services.
7. Miscellaneous Revenue - Miscellaneous revenue has dropped from $2.2 million in FY2010 to $1.6

fines and surcharges related to code enforcement ($280,000) and library fines ($205,000).
8. Other Financing Sources include proceeds from the sale of assets, allocation of funds to equipment
replacement reserves, and operating support from other funds for specific staff positions. The category
is budgeted at $465,000 in FY2012.
Transactions that occurred within this category in prior years including the following: capital project
funding of $3.9 million to 420th Street infrastructure, and $1.6 million for Fire Station #4 construction.
These transactions were financed by loans from the Landfill fund. Future years require debt payments
from the General fund to the Landfill fund.

B. GENERAL FUND – EXPENDITURES
The General Fund expenditure budget in FY2012 is $60,488,035. A comparison of expenditures
across fiscal years is challenging due to a number of one-time transactions and events as
discussed by major expenditure classification on the following page.

1. Personnel – Personnel costs include salaries and benefits, including health, life, and disability
insurance, employer share of FICA and IPERS, and Police/Fire MFPRSI retirement contributions.
Personnel costs account for approximately sixty-three percent (63%) of budgeted expenditures within
the General Fund in FY2012.
a) Collective Bargaining: Wages and benefits for most employees are determined by collective
bargaining agreements with one of three unions: AFSCME (Local #183), the Police Labor Relations
Organization (PLR) of Iowa City, and the Iowa City Association of Professional Fire Fighters, IAFF,
AFL-CIO (Local #610). The AFSCME and Fire contracts for FY2012 include cost of living
adjustments (COLA) of 1.35% in June, 2011 and 1.5% in December, 2011.
Administrative, confidential, supervisory and temporary employees specified in Chapter 20 of the
Code of Iowa are excluded from the unions and their respective agreements. Salaries and benefit
appropriations for these employees are determined by the City Council upon the recommendation
of the City Manager. Cost of living adjustments have been approved at the same rate as union
employees for FY2012.
b) Retirement Contributions: In recent years, the Iowa Public Employees’ Retirement System (IPERS)
increased the combined contribution rate by a half a percent (0.5%) annually. With a 60/40 split
between employer and employee, the employer share will increase from 6.95% in FY2011 to 8.07%
in FY2012.
The Municipal Fire & Police Retirement System of Iowa (MFPRSI)’s Board of Trustees sets the
annual contribution rate for public entities, based on independent actuarial opinion. The rate for
FY2012 has been set at 24.76% and is expected to increase to 29.31% by FY2013 and 37.33% by
FY2014. The employee contribution is currently fixed at 9.40%. As a result of the unusual increase
and unbalanced contribution formula, the Iowa League of Cities is currently advocating for
legislative changes to the system.
c) Other Benefits: An increase in the employee contribution towards health insurance was negotiated
into the FY2012 union contracts. Health insurance costs were projected to increase three percent
(3%) in FY2012, and six percent (6%) in FY2013 and 2014.
d) 27th Pay Period – FY2012: An additional $1.1 million is budgeted in FY2012 due to a 27th pay
period during the fiscal year. This occurs once every eleven years as dictated by how pay
periods span the beginning / end of each fiscal year. The 27th Pay Period is proposed to be
funded using General fund cash balance.
2. Services - Expenditures are budgeted at $9.5 million, an increase of eleven percent (11%) over
FY2010 actuals. This includes additional funding for the General Fund Loss Reserve, Economic
Development initiatives and paratransit services.
Operating costs included in this category which have specific inflationary guidelines include self-
insured loss reserve funding; liability, fire & casualty insurance premiums; professional and consultant
services; internal service fund charges (ITS, Equipment and Central Services); training & education;
building and equipment repair and maintenance services; and vehicle / equipment rentals.
Non-operating costs within the category include Aid to Human Service Agencies, Community Event
Funding, support to the Iowa City Coralville Convention & Visitors Bureau, and Community and
Economic Development Assistance. These are budgeted as follows:
,
$288,603 Aid to Human Service Agencies
$110,162 Community Event / Program Funding
$180,982 ICCVB – Community / Economic Development Assistance
$200,000 Economic Development Assistance
- 23 -
3. Supplies - Supplies consist primarily of commodities that are consumed or depleted, such as office
and cleaning supplies, vehicle fuel and materials for repair and maintenance of buildings, streets, and
equipment. Individual items under $5,000 which may have been categorized as capital outlay in prior
years, are budgeted within the Supplies category for FY2012 and beyond. This adjustment is in line
with the capitalization threshold utilized in the comprehensive annual financial report.
4. Capital Outlay – General Fund capital outlay is budgeted at $1.1 million in FY2012 and includes
police vehicle replacements, library materials, operating equipment, and building maintenance and
improvements of $1,000 or greater.
5. Transfers Out – This category is budgeted at $8.8 million in FY2012. Transfers-out include local
option sales tax (LOST) funding for elevation of North Dubuque Street ($3.6 million) and relocation of
North Wastewater ($4.2 million), as well as $150,000 from the General Levy for the Downtown Co-
work Space. The FY2011 budget (significantly higher at $21.7 million) includes funding for the North
Dubuque and North Wastewater projects, infrastructure along 420th Street, and construction of Fire
Station #4.
6. Contingency use of General Fund cash is budgeted at ¾ of one percent (1%) of General Fund
expenditures (excluding transfers) - approximately $385,000 in FY2012.

The City of Iowa City’s policy is that General Fund cash balances will not go below fifteen percent
(15%), with a ceiling of twenty-five percent (25%). During the FY2010 budget process, City Council
further revised the reserve policy for General Fund so that unreserved / unrestricted cash balance in
excess of twenty-five percent (25%) of expenditures be considered for tax relief.
In February, 2009, the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) released GASB Statement
No. 54, which redefines the terminology used for fund balance reporting. Following is a summary of
General Fund cash balance utilizing the new definitions.

General Fund cash balance is relied upon to provide cash flow during the first quarter of the fiscal year
as the majority of property taxes are not received until October/November. The following chart
demonstrates how expenditures have exceeded receipts in the first three months over the past ten
years.
III. SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
Special Revenue Funds include Employee Benefits, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), the
HOME Program, Flood Recovery & Hazard Mitigation Grants, Road Use Tax, Johnson County Council
of Governments (JCCOG), and UniverCity.
A. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) & HOME Program – These funds account for
revenue from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and are restricted in use for
eligible projects as defined by federal regulations. Monies are utilized by both businesses and
individual homeowners for property rehabilitation and community development initiatives. In
FY2012, CDBG federal revenue is budgeted at $815,000 and the HOME program at $770,000.
B. Flood Recovery & Hazard Mitigation Grants - Grants totaling $26.5 million are budgeted for
hazard mitigation (including the home-buyout program) and business / residential assistance in
FY2011. This includes monies from FEMA, CDBG and the JUMPSTART Iowa Fund, with receipts
and expenditures anticipated to extend into FY2012.
C. Road Use Tax Fund - Road Use Tax Fund activities are financed through state-distributed Road
Use Tax and TIME-21 revenue, which is based on vehicle registration fees, motor vehicle fuel
taxes, rental vehicle excise taxes and a use tax on trailers. Funds are distributed back to cities
based on a per capita formula. Expenditures include operational costs in the Streets and Traffic
Engineering Divisions, funding to JCCOG Transportation Planning, and annual repair and
maintenance projects within the CIP program.
Municipalities were advised by both the IDOT and the Iowa League of Cities to budget Road Use
Tax receipts conservatively for FY2012, as projections from November, 2010, were “subject to
dramatic changes” as consumers respond to the change in economic conditions. Based on a
population of 62,380; revised revenue estimates for Iowa City are $5.86 million, $6.0 and $6.17
million in FY2012 - 2014.
D. Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) of Johnson County – Previously known as Johnson
County Council of Governments (JCCOG), this organization coordinates planning efforts for all of
Johnson County. Member agencies include Coralville, Iowa City, Johnson County, Lone Tree,
North Liberty, Oxford, Shueyville, Solon, Swisher, Tiffin, University Heights and the University of

Iowa. Organizational structure is provided for by a 28(E) cost-sharing agreement in which the City
of Iowa City provides administrative, clerical, and accounting staff and services; in addition to
provision of office space, insurance and access to the City of Iowa City vehicle pool.
A review of JCCOG’s funding allocation is recommended at this time.
IV. TIF SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
Tax Increment Financing Districts have been established in various locations in Iowa City to encourage
economic development. TIF revenues are used to repay debt incurred for specific projects and to pay
property tax rebates on increased valuation per development-specific agreements within the districts.
As these agreements expire and/or their legal requirements are satisfied, tax revenue generated by the
incremental valuation (increase in property values for the district since it was established) are released
and future receipts are distributed to all taxing authorities. Iowa City’s incremental TIF valuation for
FY2012 is $33 million.
V. DEBT SERVICE FUND
This fund accounts for annual principal and interest payments due on general obligation debt of the
City. Funding is provided by the debt service property tax levy, transfers from Water Operations, and
loan repayments.
FY2011 through 2014 G.O. bond issues are estimated to be $10.9 million, $6.9 million, $13.3 million
and $7.4 million, respectively. As stated in the City's Fiscal Policy, "Debt incurred as a general
obligation of the City of Iowa City shall not exceed statutory limits: presently 5% of the total assessed
value of property within the corporate limits as established by the City Assessor." The following
schedule and graph depict current and estimated future debt margins for the City as of December,
2010. Property valuations for FY2012 are estimates by the County Auditor’s office, FY2013 and
FY2014 are estimated at two percent (2%) growth annually.

Iowa City’s internal fiscal policy was revised in April, 2010, upon recommendation of the Finance Director to
specify that the "debt service levy shall not exceed 30% of the city levy in any one fiscal year." The
following chart shows the debt service levy as a percentage of the city levy rate for FY2005 through 2014.
Fiscal years 2013 and 2014 are based on estimated financing requirements for capital projects and are
subject to changes in other levy rates (based on operating costs) and future changes in property valuations.

VI. BUSINESS-TYPE ACTIVITES
Business-type funds include Parking, Wastewater Treatment, Water, Refuse, Landfill, Airport,
Broadband Telecommunications, Housing Authority, and Stormwater Management. These activities are
primarily self-supported through user fees for services provided. The exceptions to this are the Iowa
City Airport and Housing Authority. The Iowa City Airport is not self-supported at this time and receives
property tax subsidy. The Housing Authority is primarily a federally funded program.
A. Parking Fund –
Parking fines and fees remain unchanged at this time and fund balance remains healthy. Receipts
from parking impact fees have resulted in a revised amortization schedule on the Southside Parking
Facility Land Acquisition loan (former St. Pat’s Parish Hall site). Final payment is anticipated in
FY2017, compared with the original schedule through FY2028. Financing for the proposed parking
garage and WorkForce housing structure at this location would require a measurable rate increase
in future years.
B. Water Fund -
Cash balance is projected to decrease in future years. No change in user fees is recommended at
this time, however, as fund balance remains healthy.
C. Wastewater Treatment Fund -
No change in user fees is recommended at this time.
The Capital Improvement Program includes $1.89 million in funding from Wastewater cash for the
South Wastewater Plant Expansion project. This project involves consolidation of North
Wastewater operations into the South Plant. Other funding for the project includes $22.0 million in
federal EDA grants (application submitted), $13.6 million in local options sales tax, $5.5 million in I-
JOBS grant monies, and $5.0 million in CDBG Public Infrastructure grants.
Subject to changes in project funding, fund balance is expected to increase in future years, as a
result of the interest savings provided by the 2009 and 2010 Sewer Revenue bond refundings. A
review of wastewater user fees is likely upon completion of the South Wastewater Expansion
project.
D. Refuse Collection -
No change in user fees is recommended at this time, however, we will continue to monitor this fund
due to fluctuating fuel costs.
E. Landfill Operations -
Landfill fees remain unchanged at this time.
There are two new positions (2.0 FTE) approved for Landfill in FY2012: one Landfill Operator
position is required within Solid Waste Recycling Operations due to increased program
participation, and one Maintenance Worker I position is needed to provide staffing at the East Side
Recycling Center.
Capital project funding includes $2.0 million in FY2012 for Iowa City's contribution to the Landfill
Gas to Energy project.
- 30 -
F. Airport Operations -
The FY2012 budget maintains current operations and includes continued repayment of interfund
loans used to construct hangars at the airport. General Fund support is $100,000 annually.
Capital project financing includes construction of a six-unit corporate hangar in FY2011. This is an
addition to the capital improvements program adopted in March, 2010. The project would utilize
$400,000 from the sale of parcels in the airport commercial park.
Flood plain mitigation work is scheduled for FY2014 to allow further development of the south
airfield. The project is estimated at $2.0 million, with $1.0 million from federal grants and $1.0
million in general obligation bond funding.
Other capital projects proposed at this time include hangar maintenance and runway / surface
improvements. These projects are ninety-five percent (95%) federally funded, with a five percent
(5%) local match from general obligation bonds.
G. Broadband Telecommunications -
This fund accounts for activities within the Cable TV division. Functions include administration of
the cable television franchise agreement, local programming on City Channel 4 and interactive
services on InfoVision Channel 5. The primary funding source for this division is a five percent
(5%) cable franchise fee, which is part of a non-exclusive franchise agreement and budgeted at
$671,000 in FY2012.
The Community Television Service (CTS), a project of the Cable TV division, produces programs
for nonprofit organizations and cablecasts local public meetings. The CTS receives 55 cents per
cable customer per month to produce this programming under the new agreement with
Mediacom. Revenue from this pass-through fee is estimated at $116,000 for FY2012.
H. Stormwater Management - Annual Fee Increase – FY2012 - 2014
A twenty-five percent (25%) rate increase was approved for stormwater user fees in FY2012, with
annual increases recommended for FY2013 and FY2014. User fees are currently $2.00/month
per Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) and will increase to $2.50/month in FY2012. This is the
first increase since the fee’s inception in 2004 and is expected to generate an additional $160,000
annually.
The stormwater management fee provides funding for stormwater monitoring and capital projects.
The FY2011 – 2015 Capital Improvement Program includes funding of $500,000 in FY2012 for
work in the Scott Park Development and Lower Muscatine / Kirkwood to First Avenue projects,
and $500,000 in FY2013 for improvements to the system near Riverside Drive and the University
of Iowa Arts Campus.
I. Housing Authority
The Iowa City Housing Authority is projected to receive $7.6 million in federal funding through the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (H.U.D.) in FY2012. These monies finance
programs to assist individuals and families in obtaining affordable housing.
- 31 -
VII. INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
Internal service funds include Equipment / Fleet Maintenance, Central Services, Risk Management Loss
Reserves, Health and Dental Insurance Reserves and the Information Technology Services Fund.
Each of these activities is funded by the departments and divisions which utilize their services, with
projected increases as follows:
A. Equipment / Fleet Maintenance
Intra-city charges for equipment / fleet maintenance are projected to increase three percent (3%)
annually. This charge covers normal vehicle repairs, maintenance and fuel costs.
B. Health Insurance Reserve
Health insurance claims and premiums are projected to increase three percent (3%) in FY2012
and six percent (6%) annually from FY2013 – FY2014.

PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL PLAN
In August, the Finance Department writes a manual of directions and updates all forms.
The manual contains: 1) directions for completing the forms, 2) descriptions of
expenditures that may be budgeted in a particular line item, and 3) projected prices or
inflation factors for various supplies, service contracts, vehicle maintenance service,
telephone and postal services, and office furniture and equipment.
The City Manager instructs the Department Heads on whether any changes in level of
service can be factored into the proposed financial plan. This is done before the actual
budget process starts. Changes to the financial plan are done annually during the
budget process. All revenue and expenditure estimates are re-evaluated and revised if
necessary.
In September, the manual and forms for the next financial plan are distributed to
Department and Division Heads. They also receive salary projections, a three year
history of each Department’s/Division’s actual line item expenditures, and projected
revenues and costs for the three years covered by the Financial Plan. (The Finance
Department projects revenues individually and uses a combination of inflation factors
and individual costs to project expenditures.)
In October, the forms are returned. These include the Department/Division’s
adjustments to line item revenue and expenditure projections, their travel request, their
capital outlay request, and professional services required.
In November, the Finance Department reviews the forms and compiles them all into a
budget. All budget forms and adjustments are forwarded to the City Manager.
By mid-December, the City Manager and Finance Department decide which
modifications to operations will be made. A tax levy is computed. Analysis is done so all
funds have required balances or zero balances. Then the Proposed Financial Plan
document is printed.
In January, the City Council reviews the Proposed Financial Plan.
In February, The Proposed Financial Plan and a memo of Council’s changes are
presented to the public. A public hearing is held at least one week prior to the final
adoption.
In March, the final Financial Plan is adopted. The State of Iowa requires a one-year
budget be adopted by March 15 of each year. The applicable year in Iowa City’s three -
year Financial Plan is adopted as the annual budget to satisfy State requirements.
The Finance Department monitors the status of actual revenues and expenses
compared to budget. Analysis is done on a line-item basis within each division. Ultimate
responsibility for a division’s budget rests with the department head in charge of that
division. The Finance Department staff normally works directly with department/division
management to resolve any problems within the line item budget.

PROCESS TO AMEND THE FINANCIAL PLAN
Department Directors and appointed staff are responsible for analyzing monthly financial
reports to determine if expenditures will exceed budgeted appropriations. Examples of
items which may require an amendment include: grant-funded activities, unanticipated
repair of equipment or buildings, temporary employee wages and overtime. On
amendment requests, departments/divisions explain the reason for additional funding and
are asked to suggest a funding source:
1) Reallocation of budget appropriations within their own budget;
2) New or increased revenues (grant funding, increase participation/user fees);
3) Contingency funding (use of cash balance).
Requests are then reviewed by the Budget/Management Analyst and forwarded to the
Finance Director and City Manager for approval. If the request is approved, the
amendment is processed so that subsequent budget comparison reports will reflect the
change. Requests must be submitted for review by early spring (a date set by the Finance
Department annually) as is necessary to compile reports for publication and state
certification.
Amendments are typically presented to the City Council twice a year, with a public
hearing held each time to allow for citizen input. The first public hearing is usually held
in early fall, the second and/or final hearing is in late spring. All amendments must be
formally approved and certified to the State of Iowa by May 31st, as required by law.
Financial statements which compare the fiscal year’s actual revenues and expenditures to
budgeted authority are published by the 1st of December immediately following the end
of the fiscal year (June 30). These statements are also presented for the City as a whole
in the notes to that year’s Financial Report. Legal compliance is met if actual
expenditures do not exceed the budgeted expenditures by program areas: Public Safety,
Public Works, Health & Social Services, Culture and Recreation, Community and
Economic Development, General Government, Debt Service, Capital Projects and
Business Type/Enterprises.
