Local ordinances and state statutes require that the Town issue an annual report on its financial position and activity and that this report be audited by an independent firm of certified public accountants. This document represents a joint effort by Town staff as well as our auditors, Cronstrom & Trbovich. It will be submitted to the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada in an effort to secure a "Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting". Copies of this report will be sent to elected officials, bond rating agencies, national repositories, and other agencies which have expressed an interest in the Town of Fountain Hills' financial matters. Responsibility for the accuracy of the data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with management. Staff believes that the data is accurate in all material respects and is reported in a manner that presents fairly the financial position and operational results of the Town of Fountain Hills' various funds and account groups. All disclosures necessary for the reader to understand the Town's activities have been included. The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report is presented in three sections: Introductory, Financial and Statistical. The Introductory Section includes the letter of transmittal, the GFOA Certificate of Achievement, an organizational chart and a list of the Town of Fountain Hills' elected officials and department heads. The Financial Section includes the general-purpose financial statements, the combining, individual fund and account group financial statements and schedules, as well as the independent auditor's report on these financial statements and schedules. The Statistical Section includes selected financial and demographic information, generally presented on a ten-year basis. The financial reporting entity (the Town) includes all the funds and account groups of the primary government (i.e., the Town of Fountain Hills as legally defined) as well as all of its component units. The component units consist of legally separate entities for which the primary government is financially accountable. The Town provides or administers a full range of services including public safety (police, animal control, building inspection); community development (code enforcement, planning, zoning and engineering); the construction and maintenance of streets and infrastructure, municipal court, recreational activities and cultural events. The Town does not maintain utility or other operations that require the establishment of enterprise funds. i 16836 East Palisades Boulevard, Building A - P.O. Box 17958 -Fountain Hills, Arizona 85269 - (480) 837-2003 -FAX: (480) 837-3145 Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the primary government's operations and are included as part of the primary government. Accordingly, the Cottonwoods Improvement and Maintenance District, Eagle Mountain Community Facilities District and Fountain Hills Municipal Property Corporation are included in the financial reports of the Town. The Town does not have a primary property tax for operating purposes. Operations are paid for from sales tax, user fees and charges, licenses and permits and other similar sources. The Town property tax of $0.56 per $100 of assessed secondary valuation is used solely for the retirement of debt. GOVERNMENTAL STRUCTURE, LOCAL ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK General Information The Town of Fountain Hills is a planned, family -oriented community established in 1970 by McCulloch Properties (now MCO Properties, Inc.). Prior to 1970 the area was a cattle ranch and was part of one of the largest land and cattle holdings in Arizona. It was purchased by Robert McCulloch in the late 1960s and designed by Charles Wood, Jr. (designer of Disneyland in southern California). The centerpiece of Fountain Hills is one of the world's tallest man-made fountains, a focal point that attracts thousands of visitors each year. Located on 11,340 acres of land, and bordering northeast Scottsdale, Fountain Hills is surrounded by the 3,500-foot McDowell Mountains on the west, the Fort McDowell Indian Reservation on the east, the Salt River Indian Reservation on the south and by the McDowell Mountain Regional Park on the north. Elevation is 1,520 feet at the fountain, 3,000 feet on Golden Eagle Boulevard, and is 500 feet above Phoenix. The U.S. Bureau of the Census Year 2000 revealed a year round population of 20,235. This represents a 43% increase in population from 1995 (14,146) and a 98% increase from the 1990 census (10,190). Governmental Structure The Town of Fountain Hills is an Arizona Municipal Corporation, acting as a general law Town as prescribed in the Arizona Revised statutes. The Town was incorporated on December 5, 1989 with the governmental and administrative affairs of the Town operating under the Council - Manager form of government. Policy making and legislative authority are vested in the Town Council, which consists of a Mayor and six Councilmembers. Councilmembers are elected at large for staggered four-year terms. The Mayor, who also sits on the Town Council, is directly elected bi-annually by the voters and the Vice -Mayor is selected by the Council every eight months on a rotating basis. The Town Council is responsible, among other things, for the adoption of local ordinances, budget adoption, the development of citizen advisory committees and hiring the Town Manager. The Town Manager is responsible for implementation of the policies of the Town Council and administering the Town's operations through six department managers and approximately 110 employees. The Magistrate, Town Attorney and Town Prosecutor are under the direction of the Town Council. Fountain Hillssingle largest revenue source is local sales tax generated from construction and retail activity. These two categories experienced gains averaging 37.9% over the past four years (the local sales tax was enacted during FY 1996). However, it is anticipated that this growth rate will not continue in the upcoming fiscal year. The projected forecast for next fiscal year for local sales tax revenue reflects a slight decrease to reflect management's conservatism regarding the current economic climate. During the latter quarter of fiscal year 2001-2002 Fountain Hills expects to see the opening of two large retail shopping centers, one with a large retail anchor and the other with a large grocery anchor. These two shopping centers will add significant sales tax dollars to the Town's General Fund both in terms of construction and retail activity. The declining home construction activity will be offset by the new development of luxury homes in two new subdivisions near the McDowell Mountains. Home construction in the Eagle Mountain community within Fountain Hills is nearing completion. When completed the Eagle Mountain community will consist of approximately 600 single-family homes and 80 condominiums. Construction began in early summer of 2001 on a Fry's grocery store -anchored commercial/retail development at the southeast comer of Shea Boulevard and Eagle Mountain Parkway that is scheduled to open in the summer of 2002. The Firerock Country Club development, which began in 1988, will include up to 390 single- family homes and 288 condominiums in this gated community. The development has a private country club that includes an 18-hole golf course. All of the single-family subdivisions within the Firerock Country Club have been platted and lot sales and home construction have begun. The Town recently approved subdivisions for the development of the remaining undeveloped land east and north of Fountain Park. Diamante Del Lago, a 139 lot single-family development and Bella Lago, a 68-unit condominium development, are located east and north of Fountain Park. These two subdivisions are nearing completion. A general obligation bond issue was issued last fiscal year to purchase 9.25 acres of land that makes up most of the prime viewshed ridgeline in this area. A major developer in Fountain Hills, MCO Properties, recently gained preliminary subdivision approval for two subdivisions in the northwest comer of Fountain Hills, The Eagle Ridge North and Eagles Nest subdivisions were approved for a total of 415 custom lots. This subdivision is adjacent to 354 acres of mountainous terrain that will be acquired from the developer. The Fountain Hills McDowell Mountain Preserve will have access to the McDowell Mountain Regional Park and will be used for development of a trailhead. Subdivision improvement construction is scheduled to begin in the Spring of 2002. As of October 1, 2001 there were 7,055 developed single-family dwelling units within the Town and 3,395 multi -family dwelling units. As of today within the entire Town there are 2,003 undeveloped single-family zoned platted lots. The population of Fountain Hills in the 2000 Census was 20,235, iii Commercial The remainder of the Town's downtown commercial core will soon be subdivided. Anchoring the commercial development in this area is the Town's new Community Center and County Library that opened in September 2001. Construction will soon commence on a new Hilton Hotel, more retail, and office and multi -family developments located at the southwest entrance into Fountain Hills. At the southeast entrance to the community construction has begun on a large retail shopping center that includes plans for a Target store and other large retail tenants. Industrial Fountain Hills has a business park that is partially developed. The Business Park contains individual construction equipment storage and maintenance yards, construction company operation yards, a utility company storage and maintenance yard, a distribution business and several small manufacturing operations. MAJOR INITIATIVES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS During 2000-2001 the Town continued to maintain a healthy financial reserve despite significant capital outlays. The Town strives to maintain the carry forward balance for times of fiscal uncertainty. The following are some of the accomplishments during 2000-2001: A new Town Community Center and Library/Museum complex, located on a 13 acre site in the downtown area, is nearing completion. The 31,000 square foot Community Center, consisting of two arts and crafts classrooms, two seminar rooms, two regular classrooms, a kinder -care room, a conference room, a game room, lounge and lobby areas, an 8,000 square foot banquet room subdividable into four activity/event rooms, a catering kitchen, office and support facilities, were financed through Municipal Property Corporation bonds that will be retired using local sales tax revenue streams. The 21,000 square foot Library/Museum, consisting of separate adult and children reading areas and book stacks, meeting rooms, computer resource center and 5,000 square feet of exhibit space for the museum, will be paid for by the voter -approved general obligation bonds. The groundbreaking ceremony took place June 2, 2000 and the facilities opened in September 2001. The senior population of Fountain Hills benefited from the coordination of joint efforts by the Red Cross, Maricopa County Human Services, RPTA (Regional Public Transportation Association), and the Fountain Hills Senior Services to improve the shuttle service route to and from the Senior Center, Mayo Clinic and neighboring cities. In order to offset the costs associated with a rapidly growing population base the Community Development department successfully developed and instituted a Development Fee for new development within the Town. The fees are allocated among Parks and Recreation, Streets and Highways, Public Safety (Marshal Department), Open Space and General Government and will be used to fund additional parks, open space, etc., as the community grows. The Fountain Hills Marshal Department successfully obtained funding for three officers through federal grants, one officer through a State Gang Task force grant, and also provided two resource officers to the local high school as additional security. The Department also sponsored a wide variety of youth service activities including Special Olympics, "Stranger Danger" presentations, Bicycle Safety Rodeos and a Fountain Hills Law Enforcement Explorer Post program. iv The Town assisted the Arizona Department of Water Resources with a major dam renovation project, raising the Golden Eagle Park dam to meet the standard for a 100-year storm event. This will provide flood protection for the local middle and high school located in a field just below the dam. The remainder of the Town -owned dams were inspected and given favorable grades by the ADWR. The Parks and Recreation Department sponsored a Mayor's Youth Council, the members of which attended the National League of Cities Conference in Boston, Massachusetts last year. The participation of youth members in the Council was increased by almost four times the number from the prior year. Fountain Hills has four community parks for its citizens. The Town's namesake and landmark, Fountain Park, is a 59-acre passive recreation area, which includes: 30-acres of turf, a 29-acre lake with a "world famous fountain" that sends a jet stream 560 feet into the air. The park also includes a pump station, a dam, an 18-hole championship disc golf course, and a children's playground. During last fiscal year there were significant capital costs at Fountain Park last year involving replacement of the liner under the Fountain Lake. In addition, the park was upgraded with proceeds from a grant from the Arizona State Parks Heritage Fund, Town Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an intemal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the government are protected from loss, theft, or misuse and to ensure that adequate accounting data are compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these objectives are met. 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 valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. In addition, the Town of Fountain Hills maintains extensive budgetary controls. The objective of these controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget approved by the government's council. Activities of the general fund, special revenue funds, debt service funds and capital projects funds are included in the annual budget. The level of budgetary control (i.e., the level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount) is the departmental level for the General Fund and in total by fund for the other funds. In May 2001 the Town's outstanding General Obligation debt was upgraded from A2 to Aa3. The upgrade was based on "substantial tax base and economic growth, driven by the Town's location within the Phoenix metropolitan area, conservative financial management strategies, resulting in substantial reserves, and a manageable debt profile". As demonstrated by the statements and schedules included in the Financial Section of this report, the Town of Fountain Hills continues to meet its responsibility for sound financial management. General Government Functions The following schedule presents a summary of General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds and Capital Projects Funds revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 and the amount and percentage of increases and decreases in relation to prior year revenues. Increase/ Percent 2001 Percent of (Decrease) Increase/ Classification Amount Total from 1999-2000 (Decrease) Taxes $ 6,088,047 45.84% $ 1,211,581 24.85% Intergovernmental 512817156 39.77% 509,364 10.67% Fines and forfeitures 310,359 2.34 % 16,389 5.58 % Licenses and permits 2,177,614 16.40% (391,858) -15.25% Charges for services 431,316 3.25 % (23,050) -5.07 % Rents and royalties 35,781 0.27 % 8,573 31.51 % Contributions and donations 400 0.00% (10,198) -96.23% Special Assessments 75958 0.06% (11283) -13.88% Net investment income (loss) (1,063,339) -8.01 % (1,806,598) -243.06% Other 10,957 0.08% (105098) -47.96% Total $ 13,280,249 100,00% $ (4973178) -3.61% The General Government revenues total $13,280,249 for fiscal year 2000-2001, which represents a decrease of $497,178 or 3.61% from 1999-00. The $1,211,581 increase in Taxes is primarily due to an increase in local sales tax revenues ($835,660). In November 2000 the Town Council enacted a .4% increase in the local sales tax rate to 1.6% to be used for Land Preservation (.3%) and Downtown Development (.1%). Additionally there was an increase in secondary property tax revenue ($412,474) to cover the debt service on voter -approved General Obligation bonds issued for construction of a new Library/Museum. Local sales tax revenues are generated primarily from construction and retail trade (69% of the total). The increase in Construction tax revenues over last fiscal year was only 3% - the lowest increase since the inception of the local sales tax. Retail trade revenues increased 29%. Major items included in Intergovernmental (state -shared) revenue include state sales tax, highway user revenue, state income tax, vehicle license tax and grants. There was a 10.7% increase in state shared distributions largely due to the Town's population growth. The population increase resulted in an increase in proportionate share of State revenues. The Town also received $229,000 more in grant revenue, primarily from State Heritage Grant funding for Parks. The Town continues to participate in the federal COPS Universal Hiring program for community policing. The increased enforcement and continued growth of the community contributes to the increase in Fines and Forfeitures of $16,389, which consists primarily of traffic citations. The decrease in investment earnings reflects a loss on investments of $2,103,191 (see Note 3 to the financial statements). The investment funds were proceeds from bonds issued by the Municipal Property Corporation for construction of the new Community Center and held by a trustee. Despite the loss, the project will be completed as scheduled with expenditures being paid by the General Fund. vi Growth in the area of new home construction in the Town of Fountain Hills has begun to show signs of slowing. Building Permit revenue collected declined by $280,637, a 13% decrease over the prior year. During fiscal year 1999-2000 there were 390 single-family residence permits issued; during 2000-2001 there were 244 permits issued. However, there are two major commercial retail construction projects underway that will help to soften the economic impact in the event of a possible slowdown in construction activity. There was also a decrease in Encroachment and Improvement Plan Review fees of $115,291. Revenue received under the Charges for Services category includes Developer Contributions, In Lieu Payments and Parks & Recreation User Fees. The decrease in this category reflects the scheduled elimination in contributions from the developer, MCO Properties, as stipulated in the agreement with the Town. The Town continues to maintain a large reserve fund, primarily invested with the Arizona State Local Government Investment Pool. The Library/Museum bond proceeds were invested with the Pool and generated interest earnings during the construction period. The cash reserves generated total interest earnings of $1,031,123 in fiscal year 2000-2001. The Other category of revenue is used for miscellaneous and not -otherwise -categorized sources of revenue. The following schedule presents a summary of General Fund, Special Revetaue Funds, Debt Service Funds and Capital Projects Funds expenditures for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 and the increases and decreases in relation to prior year amounts.

The most significant increase is in the Capital Outlay category, which reflects the expenditure for the new Town Community Center and Library/Museum construction projects in the amount of $4,547,492. Additionally, during fiscal year 2000-01 the Town of Fountain Hills received funding from the Arizona State Parks Heritage Fund for Phase I improvements to Fountain Park ($714,093). vii The General Government function consists of the Administration, Magistrate Court and Town Council Departments. Expenditures of the Administration Department account for approximately $900,000 of the difference between last fiscal year and 2000-2001. During the last fiscal year significant leasehold improvements were made to the existing Town Hall ($416,000), which provided improved facilities and service to the citizens. Significant legal costs ($400,000) were incurred as staff negotiated with the property owner to acquire 354 acres of open space. The voters of Fountain Hills approved $6,000,000 in General Obligation bonds for the purchase of this land that will have access to the McDowell Mountain State Park. An agreement between the Town and the property owner has been reached and should be finalized by the end of calendar year 2001. Public Safety includes Building Safety and the Town Marshal Department. The Marshal Department is responsible for all local law enforcement activities, which includes the annual contract with Maricopa County Sheriff's Office for outside police services ($52,587 increase over prior year). The Town also receives federal funding through the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, which stipulates hiring and retaining new police officers. The federal funding of the officers is for a three year period and requires a decreased federal subsidy and increased Town contribution each year. Culture and Recreation includes the new Community Center/Library/Museum under construction, four parks (121 acres), 25 acres of landscaped medians, and 1,100 acres of open space. The costs for the parks and medians are mainly for building maintenance costs, electricity, water and mowing/landscape maintenance fees. Major costs ($1,200,000) were incurred in Fountain Park due to the lake liner replacement project that began in May of 2000. The remainder of the project was completed during October 2000. Community Development expenditures decreased by $101,302 due to decreased requirements for outside engineering fees. Capital Outlay expenditures were for the new Community Center/Library/Museum and Phase I at Fountain Park. There was an increase from the prior year for land acquisition ($1,363,500). General Government Fund Balances Fund balances reflect the accumulated excess of revenues and other financing sources over expenditures and other financing uses for general government functions. Unexpended appropriations lapse at the close of the fiscal year and revert to unreserved fund balance. The following schedule presents increases (decreases) in total fund balances by June 30, 2001, compared to the prior year. General Fund Balance The fund balance of the General Fund decreased by $1,604,400 from June 30, 2000. Without the investment loss the fund balance would have increased by $498,791. The Town of Fountain Hills expects to be successful in the effort to recover the Municipal Property Corporation funds from the trustee. Debt Administration On June 30, 2001, the Town had one Street and Highway User Revenue Bond, one Municipal Property Corporation Revenue Bond and three general obligation bonds issues outstanding. The outstanding principal totals $4,530,000 for the new MPC Revenue Bond and $9,209,873 for the general obligation bonds. The Town also had two Community Facilities District Bonds outstanding totaling $4,905,000 and an Improvement District Bond outstanding for $25,820. Cash Management Policies and Practices The Town uses a system of consolidated cash management. Cash from all funds is pooled in a central disbursement fund. Cash to be used for payment of current expenditures is maintained in a checking account, the balance of cash is maintained on deposit with the Arizona State Treasurer's Local Government Investment Pool. Cash in the Local Government Investment Pool is available upon 24 hours notice. The LGIP invests in U.S. Treasury Notes, U.S. Treasury Bills and federally guaranteed insurance contracts. The average interest rate for fiscal year 1999-00 was 5.907% and 6.0617% for fiscal year 2000- 2001. Investments held at LGIP earned interest revenue of $524,270 for the year ended June 30, 2001. Risk Management The Town of Fountain Hills participates in the Arizona Municipal Risk Retention Pool. Risk coverage includes general liability, errors and omissions, property and automobile insurance. The policy insures up to $7,000,000 per incident occurrence plus any excess liability of up to $8,000,000 per occurrence per year. Coverage is provided on a claims - made basis. The Arizona Municipal Workers Compensation Fund is the Town's insurance provider for Workers' Compensation. The rate varies according to the functions performed by personnel. Other Information Independent Audit Arizona statutes require an annual audit by independent certified public accountants. The firm of Cronstrom and Trbovich P.C., CPAs was retained by the Town to perform the 2000-2001 audit. Generally accepted auditing standards were used by the auditors in conducting the engagement. The auditor's report on the general-purpose financial statements and combining, individual fund and account group statements and schedules is included in the Financial Section of this report. Awards and Acknowledgements The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the Town of Fountain Hills for its comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000.

These general-purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the Town's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general-purpose financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general-purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the general-purpose financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall general- purpose financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the general-purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona as of dune 30, 2001, and the results of its operations for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Town was incorporated on December 5, 1989 and operates under the Town Council form of government. The more significant of the Town's accounting policies are described below. Reporting Entity - In evaluating how to define the Town, for financial reporting purposes, management has identified two potential component units. The decision to include a potential component unit in the reporting entity has been made by applying criteria set forth in generally accepted accounting principles. Generally, component units are legally separate organizations for which the elected officials of the primary government (i.e., the Town) are financially accountable. The primary government is financially accountable for a potential component unit if it: appoints a voting majority of the potential component unit's governing body; and, either is able to impose its will on the potential component unit or there is a possibility of the potential component unit to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on the primary government. In addition, a primary government may be financially accountable for a potential component unit even though the potential component unit may have a separately elected govening board, a board appointed by another government, or a jointly appointed board if the potential component unit is fiscally dependent on the primary government (e.g., the primary government must approve the potential component unit's budget, tax rates, etc.). The following component units have been included in the Town's reporting entity: The Eagle Mountain Community Facilities District and the Cottonwoods Improvement and Maintenance District. As special purpose districts and separate political subdivisions under the Arizona Constitution, the Districts can levy taxes and issue bonds independently of the Town. Property owners in the designated areas are assessed for District taxes and thus for the costs of operating the Districts. The Town Council serves as the Board of Directors; however, the Town has no liability for the Districts' debt. For financial reporting purposes, transactions of the Districts are combined together and included as if they were part of the Town's operations. Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona Municipal Property Corporation. The Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona Municipal Property Corporation's (MPC) board of directors consists of three members which are appointed by the Fountain Hills Town Council. The MPC, which is a nonprofit corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Arizona, was formed for the sole purpose of assisting the Town in obtaining financing for various projects of the Town. The Town has a "moral obligation" for the repayment of the MPC's bonds. Ill TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FISCAL YEAR ENDED DUNE 30, 2001 NOTE I - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd) Fund Accounting -The accounts of the Town 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, 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 general-purpose financial statements in this report, into generic fund types and broad categories as follows: Governmental Funds General Fund -The General Fund is the general operating fund of the Town. 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. Debt Service Funds -The Debt Service Funds account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, general long-term debt principal, interest and related costs. Capital Projects Funds -The Capital Projects Funds are used to account for specific revenue sources that are legally restricted to expenditures for Lite acquisition or construction of general fixed assets. Account Groups General Fixed Assets -The General Fixed Assets Account Group accounts for the fixed assets of the Town. General Long-term Debt -The General Long -teen Debt Account Group accounts for the unmatured principal balances of bonds and other long-term debt not reported in proprietary funds. 12 r NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd) Measurement Focus - The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. All Governmental Funds are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds present increases (i.e., revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Basis oi' Accounting -Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Governmental Funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. Expenditures are recognized when the related fund liability is incurred. However, since debt service resources are provided during the current year for payment of general long-term debt principal and interest due early in the following year, the expenditures and related liabilities have been recognized in the Debt Service Funds. Those revenues susceptible to accrual are intergovernmental grants and appropriations, franchise taxes, licenses, interest revenue and charges for services. Sales taxes collected and held by the state at year end on behalf of the government also are recognized as revenue. Fines, permits and parking meter revenues are not susceptible to accrual because generally they are not measurable until received in cash. Budgetary Aceounting -The Town Council follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the general-purpose financial statements: 1. In accordance with Arizona Revised Statutes, the Town Manager submits a proposed budget for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1 to the Town Council. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them for the upcoming year. 2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer continent. 3. State law requires that, prior to April 1, the Economic Estimates commission provides the Town with a final expenditure limit for the coming fiscal year. To ensure compliance with the expenditure limitation, a uniform expenditure report must be filed with the State each year. This report, issued under a separate cover, reconciles total Town expenditures from the audited general-purpose financial statements to total expenditures for reporting in accordance with the State's uniform expenditure reporting system (A.R.S. §41-1279.07). IN TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 NOTE I - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCO UNTING POLICIES (Cont a) 4. By Arizona Constitution, expenditures may not legally exceed the expenditure limitation described below of all fund types as a whole. For management purposes, the Town adopts a budget by department for the General Fund and in total by fund for other funds. The Town Manager, subject to Town Council approval, may at any time transfer any unencumbered appropriation balance or portion thereof between a department or activity. The adopted budget cannot be amended in any way without Town Council approval. 5. Legal budgets are adopted for the General, Special Revenue, Debt Service and Capital Projects Funds on essentially the same modified accrual basis of accounting used to record actual revenues and expenditures. (See Note 12 for exception.) The Town is subject to the State of Arizona's Spending Limitation Law for Towns and Cities. This law does not permit the Town to spend more than budgeted revenues plus the carry-over unrestricted cash balance from the prior fiscal year. The limitation is applied to the total of the combined funds. The Town complied with this law during the year. No supplementary budgetary appropriations were necessary during the year. Encumbrances -Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded to reserve that portion of the applicable fund balance, is not employed by the Town during the year. All appropriations lapse at year-end. Cash Equivalents -Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments that are both (a) readily convertible to known amounts of cash; and (b) so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less meet this definition. Investments -Investments in securities are stated at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31. Short-term Interfund Receivables/Payables - During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds for goods provided or services rendered. These receivables and payables are classified as "due from other funds" or "due to other funds" on the balance sheet. 14 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont a) Inventory of Supplies - Purchases of such inventoryitems are recorded at the time of purchase as expenditures in the funds from which the purchases are made; and because the amounts on hand at June 30, 2001 were immaterial, they are not included in the balance sheet. Prepaid Items -Payments made to vendors for services Yhat will benefit per ods beyond June 30, 2001, are recorded as prepaid items. Expenditures for prepaid items are recorded using the consumption method. Property, Plant and Equipment -Fixed assets used in govenunental fund type operations are accounted for in the General Fixed Assets Account Group. Public domain (infrastructure) assets consisting of certain improvements other than buildings, such as roads and sidewalks are not capitalized, as these assets are immovable and of value only to the government. Property, plant and equipment acquired or constructed for general governmental operations are recorded at the time of purchase as expenditures in the funds from which the expenditures were made. Property, plant and equipment is recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated fixed assets are valued at their estimated fair market value on the date donated. Assets in the general fixed assets account group are not depreciated. b'und Equity -The unreserved fund balances for governmental funds represent the amount available for budgeting future operations. The reserved fiend balances for governmental funds represent the amount that has been legally identified for specific purposes. �'ompensated Absences -Because all vested or accumulated vacation leave is not expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources, it is reported in the general long-term debt account group. Interfund Transactions - Quasi -external transactions are accounted for as revenues, expenditures or expenses. Transactions that constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures/expenses initially made from it that are properly applicable to another fund, are recorded as expenditures/expenses in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of expenditures/expenses in the fund that is reimbursed. All other interfund transactions, except quasi -external transactions and reimbursements, are reported as transfers. Nonrecurring or nonroutine permanent transfers of equity are reported as residual equity transfers. All other interfund transfers are reported as operating transfers. 15 TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 3012001 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Concl'd) Property Tax Revenues -Property tax revenues are recognized as revenues in the fiscal year they are levied and collected or if they are collected within 60 days subsequent to fiscal year-end. Property taxes not collected within 60 days subsequent to fiscal year-end or collected in advance of the fiscal year for which they are levied, are reported as deferred revenues.

These ratios are verified by an appraisal paid for by the District and administered by the Town.

The District then established a guaranteed investment contract with a trustee as collateral for the Series 1996 A bonds, which provides for an A rating for the bonds from Standard & Poor's Corporation. When property valuation in the Eagle Mountain development is sufficient to establish an A rating on the bonds without the guaranteed contract, the developer may apply to the CFD Board to have the $4,435,000 returned. Until then, all interest earned on the guaranteed investment contract is deposited into the Debt Service Fund of the CID. Because it is the intention of the CID to return this money to the developer as long as property taxes are sufficient to repay the bonds, it has been recorded as due to developer.

NOTE 1 S -DEFINED CONTRIBUTIONPENSIONPLAN All non -peace officers and full-time employees of the Town participate in a defined contribution pension plan administered by the ICMA Retirement Corporation as a 401(a) plan. The payroll for Town employees covered by this plan for the year ended June 30, 2001 was $2,918,250. The Town's total payroll was $3,904,491. A defined contribution pension plan provides benefits in return for services rendered, provides an individual account for each participant, and specifies how contributions to the individual's account are to be determined instead of specifying the amount of benefit the individual is to receive. Under a defined contribution pension plan, the benefits a participant will receive depend solely on the amount contributed to the participant's account, the returns earned on investment of those contributions, and forfeitures of other participant's benefits that may be allocated to such participant's account. All non -peace officer full-time Town employees must participate in the pension plan from the date they are hired. Contributions made by an employee vest immediately and contributions made by the Town vest after three years of service.

Significant actuarial assumptions used in determining the entry age actuarial accrued liability include (a) a rate of return on the investment of present and future assets of 9.0% per year compounded annually, (b) projected salary increases of 6.5% per year compounded annually, and (c) additional projected salary increases of 0.0% to 3.0% per year attributable to seniority/merit. The actuarial value of the Town of Fountain Hill's assets was determined using techniques that smooth the effects of short-term volatility in the market value of investments over a four-year period. The Town of Fountain Hill's unfunded actuarial accrued liability is being amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll on a closed basis. The remaining amortization period at June 30, 2000, was 20 years. The preceding methods comply with the financial reporting standards established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
