Gloucester, VA New School Bonds Issue - August, 2013

Interoffice Memorandum To: Gloucester County Board of Supervisors From: Nickie C. Champion, Director of Financial Services CC: Howard B. Kiser, Ed.D., Superintendent of Schools Brenda G. Garton, County Administrator Edwin N. Wilmot, County Attorney Joanne C. Wright, Director of Budget and Finance, GCPS Date: July 22, 2013 Re: Resolutions for School Bonds and Other Materials At the July 2, 2013 Board meeting, the Board agreed to hear public comment on August 6, 2013 on a possible school bond issue for the Page Middle School project ($12.0 million) and various school HVAC and roof repairs/upgrades ($5.0 million). McGuireWoods, bond counsel, has prepared the attached documents for the Board’s consideration:

• Option 1: This resolution authorizes the issuance of $12.0 million in school bonds for Page Middle School.

• Option 2: This resolution authorizes the issuance of $17.0 million in school bonds with $12.0 million for Page Middle School and approximately $5.0 million for school HVAC/roof needs.

Please note that these resolutions were drafted with the goal of setting a limit on the amount (par value) of bonds that will be issued. This means we will issue some face amount of bonds, but will not know the actual bond proceeds (cash to be received) until the bond sale later in the year. This is a function of the bond market where a bond will sell either above or below its par value (face amount). For example, if a bond with a par value of $1,000 is selling at a premium, we will receive more than $1,000; but if the bond is selling at a discount, we will receive less than $1,000. Bonds are sold for more and less than their par values because of changing interest rates. When interest rates go up, a bond’s market price will fall and vice versa. Additionally, a question was recently raised about structuring debt payments in such a way as to minimize the potential impact on real estate tax rates in the short term. This type of payment structure enables us to mitigate the impact on tax rate increases until FY 2019, which is when the

82

communications system is paid in full. An example (Case 3) has been included in the discussion materials from Davenport & Company, which structures the payments in such a way that the possible tax rate increase in FY 2015 is reduced from 2.5 cents to 2.0 cents. Please note that this structure comes at a cost of approximately $303,750 (using the assumptions provided in the materials) over the life (20 years) of the debt. This debt repayment structure allows us is reduce the payments on the front end with larger payments into the term of the debt. As noted above, this option does come at a price, and extensive use of this type of repayment scheduling is not seen favorably by credit agencies. Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or need further information.

Background

Gloucester County (the “County”) is currently in the process of planning for and financing the Construction of Page Middle School.

The Construction is estimated to cost $26 million and the construction bids are expected to be received this month (i.e. July 2013).

The Construction is expected to be financed as follows:

Insurance Payout: $8,000,000 (To be Received)

Qualified School Construction Bonds: 6,000,000 (Already Received)

Remaining Required Financing: 12,000,000 (To be Received)

Total: $26,000,000

The County also expects a VDOT Revenue Sharing Grant of approximately $1,000,000.

Additionally, the County has a $5,000,000 need for School Capital in its Adopted Fiscal Year 2014 Budget related to HVAC and Roof Projects.

New Money Financings

Following discussions with County Staff, Davenport & Company LLC (“Davenport”) has developed three models examining Debt Affordability, which can be found on the following pages and are comprised of the following:

Case 1: $12 Million New Money Financing (Page Middle School Only)

Case 2: $17 Million New Money Financing (Page Middle School and HVAC/Roof Projects)

Case 3: $12 Million New Money Financing (Page Middle School Only) with alternative principal repayment structure

All cases assume that the borrowing occurs as part of the Fall 2013 Virginia Public School Authority Pooled Bond Issuance.

A 20 Year Level Debt Service structure has been assumed for Cases 1 and 2; Case 3 assumes a structured principal amortization.

All Cases assume that 1¢ is equal to $400,000, and is not expected to grow in value.

While the VPSA Schedule is not yet available, VPSA has typically closed its Fall Pool Bond Issuance in the November timeframe (i.e. the County can likely expect to receive funds around this time).

Observations

Overall, this presentation has discussed capital, rather than focusing on operating costs. Any additional/unfunded operating costs would be additive to the proposed tax impact model;

Debt Service on the $12 million Page Middle School Financing is estimated to have an impact that is roughly equivalent to 2.0¢ - 2.5¢ pennies (assuming each penny is worth $400,000);

Debt Service attributable to the $5 million HVAC and Roof Projects is estimated to have an additional 1¢ equivalent impact, or 3.0 ¢ - 3.5¢ when combined with the Page Financing; and,

The County has historically managed its debt in a conservative fashion. Having policies in place is seen as a positive from a credit rating and “Best Practice” perspective, and the County should strive to follow these policies in its operating and capital planning efforts.

Disclaimer

Unless the enclosed material specifically addresses Davenport & Company LLC (“Davenport”) provision of financial advisory services or investment advisory services, or Davenport has an agreement with

the recipient to provide such services, the recipient should assume that Davenport is acting in the capacity of an underwriter or placement agent.

The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (“MSRB”) Rule G-17 requires an underwriter to deal fairly at all times with both municipal issuers and investors. The rule also requires an underwriter to

disclose that the underwriter’s primary role is to purchase securities with a view to distribution in an arm’s length commercial transaction with the issuer and the underwriter has financial and other interests

that differ from those of the issuer; unlike a municipal advisor, the underwriter does not have a fiduciary duty to the issuer under the federal securities laws and is, therefore, not required by federal law to

act in the best interest of the issuer without regard to its own financial or other interests; the underwriter has a duty to purchase securities from the issuer at a fair and reasonable price, but must balance that

duty with its duty to sell municipal securities to investors at prices that are fair and reasonable; the underwriter will review the official statement of the issuer’s securities in accordance with, and as part of,

its responsibilities to investors under the federal securities laws, as applied to the facts and circumstances of the transaction.

Davenport’s compensation when serving as an underwriter is normally contingent on the closing of a transaction. Clients generally prefer this arrangement so they are not obligated to pay a fee unless the

transaction is completed. However, MSRB Rule G-17 requires an underwriter to disclose that compensation that is contingent on the closing of a transaction or the size of a transaction presents a conflict

of interest, because it may cause the underwriter to recommend a transaction that is unnecessary or to recommend that the size of the transaction be larger than is necessary.

This material was prepared by investment banking, or other non-research personnel of Davenport. This material was not produced by a research analyst, although it may refer to a Davenport research

analyst or research report. Unless otherwise indicated, these views (if any) are the author’s and may differ from those of the Davenport fixed income or research department or others in the firm.

This material may have been prepared by or in conjunction with Davenport trading desks that may deal as principal in or own or act as market maker or liquidity provider for the securities/instruments

mentioned herein. The trading desk may have accumulated a position in the subject securities/instruments based on the information contained herein. Trading desk materials are not independent of the

proprietary interests of Davenport, which may conflict with your interests. Davenport may also perform or seek to perform financial advisory, underwriting or placement agent services for the issuers of the

securities and instruments mentioned herein.

This material has been prepared for information purposes only and is not a solicitation of any offer to buy or sell any security/instrument or to participate in any trading strategy. Any such offer would be

Interoffice Memorandum To: Gloucester County Board of Supervisors From: Nickie C. Champion, Director of Financial Services CC: Howard B. Kiser, Ed.D., Superintendent of Schools Brenda G. Garton, County Administrator Joanne C. Wright, Director of Budget and Finance, GCPS Date: July 8, 2013 Re: School HVAC and Roof Replacement Capital Program It came to my attention at the July 2nd Board meeting that I had not provided sufficient materials for you to make an informed decision on the possible $5.0 million school borrowing request for HVAC and school roof needs. In order to rectify that issue, I would like to provide the following summary of events and supporting documents:

• One very important financial planning tool for local governments is a Capital Improvements Program. Investments in capital infrastructure, facilities, and equipment are quite often large and very expensive. Special planning, financing, and management procedures are called for to ensure that the projects and acquisitions are needed, well designed, and efficiently implemented (meaning the money we invest in capital is well spent). In Gloucester County, we define a capital project for planning purposes as a tangible asset that has a useful life of at least 5 years or costs at least $50,000.

• The annual capital planning process begins each fall with all County departments, County

agencies, and the School Division being asked to submit any project they would like to see considered for inclusion in the final adopted Capital Improvements Plan.

• The School Board approved their FY 2014-2018 Capital Improvements Plan on September

11, 2012. This plan was then forwarded to the County for inclusion in the capital planning process and funding consideration. Please see attachment A, which includes a summary of all submitted school projects as well as itemized details for roof replacement and HVAC needs. The total five-year request for roof replacements was $1,689,000 and HVAC was $21,155,308. For additional planning purposes, the School Division also included amounts out beyond FY 2018.

• The County Administrator’s Capital Improvements Advisory Committee met to consider all requests (School Board as well as County departments and agencies) late in 2012.

Page 220

Individual departments and agencies including the School Division made presentations to the Committee. Attachment B includes a portion of the School Division’s presentation on their HVAC and roof replacement program. The pictures show conditions of the three most pressing School needs (Petsworth, Botetourt, and Achilles).

• The Committee made their final report to the Board of Supervisors at the January 15, 2013 meeting. Please see attachment C, which includes a two-page summary of all County and School projects considered with the Committee’s recommended funding schedule. The CIP Advisory Committee attempted to balance the considerable amount of money required for projects, within the current debt policies of the County, with the needs of competing demands for capital investment. The Committee’s final product included projects funded from a mix of dedicated revenue, excess fund balance (cash funding), possible grants, and issuing new debt. Attachment D is the actual memorandum from the Capital Improvements Advisory Committee to the Board of Supervisors. Included in the memorandum are many of the reasons for making their recommendation. Please note in particular the area shaded in yellow, which was the recommendation addressing the most critical school roofs and HVAC issues (borrowing $5.0 million) and deferring the remainder of the project to a future year.

• Also included on attachment C are the many projects the Committee did not recommend for immediate funding, but as you review the list many would be good candidates for pay-as-you-go (cash funded) projects sometime in the future.

• Finally, the Board adopted the Capital Improvements Plan for FY 2014-2018 on April 16,

2013, and the plan has been posted to the County’s web site at http://www.gloucesterva.info/Finance/BudgetsandFinancialReports/tabid/493/Default.aspx. On that same date, the Board also adopted the FY 2014 budget, which included appropriations for the first year of the Plan.

So, the request for $5.0 million in borrowing for the School HVAC needs and roof replacements is the result of a bigger process (long term capital planning) and a bigger project (many dollars over many years). Use and Adequacy of Fund Balance Another topic discussed at the July 2, 2013 Board meeting concerned the use of excess fund balance in the General Fund for capital projects. I have attached a very conservative and very preliminary estimate of our unrestricted/uncommitted fund balance at June 30, 2013 (Attachment E). I expect us to do better than this estimate, but I hesitate to be very optimistic at this time. As you review Attachment E, you will note that the FY 2014 budget includes the use of $1,408,551 in fund balance (meaning cash in this case) for capital projects, and this amount is reflected in the estimated fund balance. Additionally, please note that I have included the recommendation of the Capital Improvements Advisory Committee to use $750,000 in fund balance in FY 2015 to address software needs of the Treasurer and Commissioner of the Revenue. While we have not publicly discussed the project, the Committee felt it was very important to begin replacing the revenue generating software in these offices. Our current software was installed in 1999 and is being serviced by a vendor with questionable business viability. The Board has had many discussions on what is an adequate level of unrestricted/uncommitted fund balance. While we use fund balance and cash interchangeably, they are not the same. Fund balance is the cumulative difference of all revenues and expenditures from the government’s

Page 221

http://www.gloucesterva.info/Finance/BudgetsandFinancialReports/tabid/493/Default.aspx�

creation. So, if you look at our governmental funds balance sheet, you will see that Fund Assets minus Fund Liabilities equals Fund Balance. Because cash is a fund asset, it enters into the equation and has an effect upon fund balance. Cash, however, is only one of a number of fund assets and fund liabilities; therefore, it is possible for fund balance to remain unchanged while cash balances decline or increase during a period of time. Having said this, generally sufficient fund balances will ensure sufficient cash balances. Some will question why fund balance is even necessary. Two important goals of local government are the maintenance of a stable tax and revenue structure and the orderly delivery of services to residents. Determining how well our local economy will perform and its subsequent impact on our finances if one of the most difficult tasks we face. As we recently experienced, changes in economic activity affect both the revenue structure and government spending. Of critical importance to governments attempting to maintain fiscal stability is that the amount of revenue continues to match or exceed the expenditures. Although there is some maneuvering room in our budgets, particularly if we defer purchases of goods, services, capital, etc, we should accept the fact that uncertainty exists and hedge against it through the development and use of adequate levels of fund balance. One contingency that deserves consideration deals with surprises – particularly negative ones. Forward thinking and planning against unforeseen events, including potential revenue shortfalls despite reasonable economic forecasts, are viewed positively. Sometimes, future challenges are not completely unforeseen. In our case, when the state continues to contemplate initiatives that limit or reduce revenue, we should have meaningful contingency plans against the possibility of state ordered tax cuts. Likewise, since we are located in a zone subject to hurricanes, we should have a reasonable contingency plan for dealing with financial, economic, and social challenges posed by storm destruction. We have a healthy agenda of large capital projects (Page Middle School, Thomas Calhoun Walker Education Center, build-out of the Emergency Operations Center, and perhaps a school roof/HVAC project). It would be reasonable to consider potential construction unknowns as a contingency and good use of excess fund balance. The adequacy of our unrestricted/uncommitted fund balance should include an examination of past experiences, including an analysis of cash flows that look at revenue collection and spending patterns. One financial challenge that we face twice each year deals with our cash flow (tax collection practices vs. spending patterns). For instance, since we rely on a large percentage of taxes collected late in the fiscal year, we rely on sufficient fund balance for cash flow purposes. As long as we can meet our seasonal cash needs from working cash on hand, we can avoid issuing cash flow notes (such as tax anticipation notes) and all the potential problems that come with issuing notes in financial shortfalls. Our County budgets in a conservative manner that benefits our community. We not only try to come in under expenditures, we also try to reduce expenditures during those times we expect to see revenue shortfalls. While governmental budgeting is always challenging in that requests for funds will always exceed our limited resources, this philosophy has helped us prevent financial distress during tough economic times. Additionally, looking back to FY 2005 this fiscal conservatism has helped us accumulate and use over $10.0 million for cash capital projects. This is no small feat, but as you review Attachment F, you will see that we have been able to make substantial cash investments in several major projects. These are examples of debt avoidance by funding capital projects with cash. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need further information or have any questions.

Theberge, Board of Supervisors Representative to CIP Committee Ann F. Burruss, School Board Representative to CIP Committee Natalie Q. Johnson, Planning Commission Representative to CIP Committee Thomas J. Danaher, Citizen Representative to CIP Committee Thomas W. Sawyer, Citizen Representative to CIP Committee, Chairman Cc: Brenda G. Garton, County Administrator Anne Ducey-Ortiz, Director of Planning Nickie C. Champion, Director of Financial Services Re: Capital Improvement Plan Recommendation The Gloucester County Capital Improvements Plan Advisory Committee was formed at the direction of Ms. Brenda G. Garton, County Administrator. Ms. Garton appointed two members of the Board of Supervisors, one member of the Gloucester School Board, one member of the Planning Commission, and two citizen representatives. A capital improvement plan is a multiyear plan, and the Capital Improvements Plan Advisory Committee was conceived with the hope they would recommend and revisit the plan on an annual basis. We began our work on October 25, 2012, and this report contains our recommendations to the Board of Supervisors for a Fiscal Year 2014-18 Capital Improvements Plan. County departments and agencies, as well as Gloucester County Public Schools, submitted over $76.9 million in capital projects to be considered by the Committee. This amount included $54.4 million in projects generally funded through the General Fund and $22.5 million in projects for the Utility Fund. Over the course of several months, the Committee heard presentations from the requestors of proposed projects, worked with the County’s financial advisors to gain an understanding on the County’s current debt capacity and future financial position, and developed this recommendation for future consideration by the Board of Supervisors.

The CIP Committee recognizes that local governments devote a large portion of their budgets to capital projects. This large financial investment is required to maintain and expand public facilities and infrastructure. Ongoing service delivery can only be assured if adequate consideration is given to capital needs. If we fail to maintain our capital stock, our facilities and infrastructure will deteriorate until costly, constant maintenance is required, services are threatened, and community growth stagnates or even declines. Whether our community is growing, stable, or losing population, it needs to plan and budget for capital assets carefully to maintain existing infrastructure and to meet future demands. The CIP Committee is cognizant of the major capital projects being discussed at monthly Board meetings (Page Middle School, Thomas Calhoun Walker Education Center, and completion of the Emergency Communication Center basement); therefore, the Committee has not assigned funding from the $3.1 million Capital Fund Committed for Future Capital Projects. Additionally, the Committee is making a conservative recommendation for assignment of the excess fund balance in the General Fund ($1.8 million over a two year period from the $3.4 million available). It is hoped that this conservatism will assist the Board of Supervisors as they proceed with the many unknowns relating to Page Middle School, Thomas Calhoun Walker Education Center, and the completion of the Emergency Communications Center basement. Additionally, the CIP Committee felt that while some projects were not included in their recommendation, several are very desirable for our community’s economic development and quality of life. In particular, projects that improve facilities for older adults and the continued development of Woodville Park should be considered in future plans. It is the Committee’s hope that future plans can begin to address these very important projects. The CIP Committee attempted to balance the considerable amounts of money required for projects, within the current debt policies of the County, with the needs of competing demands for capital investment. Early in the process the Committee recognized that if all General Fund projects were funded, it would result in an increase in the real estate tax rate of $.11, which doesn’t include the effects of Page Middle School funding. The Committee not only reviewed specific projects for the recommendation, but also discussed at length the issues and factors impacting the development of a capital plan. In particular, the Committee reviewed the County’s capacity for issuing new debt, discussed project alternatives to those presented, and discussed funding alternatives. The CIP Committee recognizes that funding of a viable, on-going capital plan is a necessary starting point for this process. To that end, the Committee recommends the Board of Supervisors:

• Invite Davenport and Company, the County’s financial advisors, to the Tuesday, January 15th meeting of the Board of Supervisors to review the County’s current financial condition as well as other information beneficial to adopting a formal capital plan.

• Use excess fund balance in the General Fund of $1.8 million for the most immediate, urgent capital needs (as recommended by the Committee).

• Endorse a grant application through the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which can be used to offset some of the costs associated with Woodville Park improvements.

• Use $85,000 of the Capital Fund Assigned by County Administrator for Park Projects to offset some of the costs associated with Woodville Park improvements.

• Issue additional debt of $5.0 million to address the most critical school roofs and HVAC issues, which is expected to require a $.01 increase in the real estate tax rate in calendar year 2014

Page 250

or 2015. At this time, the CIP Committee would stress the debt be used for the most critical school needs with the expectation that no additional borrowings are possible until at least FY 2019, when annual debt service requirements will drop by approximately $1.6 million per year and free new debt capacity.

• Continue to fund a vehicle/equipment replacement fund with $.30 of the personal property tax rate. It is estimated this will generate approximately $990,000 in FY 2014, which can be divided 50-50 between the School Division and County. These funds can be used for replacing school buses, County and School Division vehicles, police cars, and other large equipment needs.

• Dedicate the amount of revenue that $.12 on the real estate rate will generate to funding the Debt Fund with any excess to be used for capital needs or accumulated for smoothing future debt payments. The Committee considers $.12 to be reasonable as this was the approximate amount needed in fiscal year 2013 to cover the debt service requirements of the County.

Attached to this memorandum is a spreadsheet summarizing the initial projects presented to the committee, alternatives initiated by the committee, as well as the final project rankings. After much deliberation, the CIP Committee recommends the following projects (see attachments for additional information on these individual projects) for inclusion in a five-year capital plan:

• $750,000 for tax assessment and receipting software. Funding for this project will be provided from excess fund balance in the General Fund.

• $270,000 for voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) to replace the County’s phone system. Funding for this project will be provided from operational savings and excess fund balance in the General Fund.

• $409,563 for the improvement of the Cable Services Program, which is used by both the County and the school division. Funding for this project will be provided by a portion of the Cable TV Franchise Tax as well as Cox Cable capital payments.

• $77,000 for County HVAC automation system upgrades. Funding for this project will be provided from excess fund balance in the General Fund.

• $34,398 for site design and engineering for Woodville Park to prepare for installing infrastructure. The funding for this project will be provided from excess fund balance in the General Fund.

• $600,000 for electrical infrastructure and athletic lights at Woodville Park. Funding for the project will be provided from $85,000 from the County Administrator’s Assigned Fund Balance for Park Projects, $300,000 from a state grant, and $215,000 from excess fund balance in the General Fund.

• $250,000 for new computer aided dispatch software, which will make Gloucester totally interoperable with other radio system partners in the regional communications system. The funding for this project will be provided from excess fund balance in the General Fund.

• $5.0 million for the School Division’s HVAC and roof replacement program. The School Division has identified the most critical need as Petsworth Elementary School with a projected cost of $3.4 million. Additionally, some urgency exists at Botetourt and Achilles Elementary Schools. The funding for this project will be provided from general obligation debt ($5.0 million) of the County.

• $233,820 to refurbish the running track and associated competitive areas at Gloucester High School. The funding for this project will be provided from excess fund balance in the General Fund.

• $130,000 for voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) to replace various school phone systems. Funding for this project will be provided from operational savings and excess fund balance in the General Fund.

The Department of Public Utilities operates as an Enterprise Fund. In order to make the fund more financially viable, the General Fund supported a $3.8 million borrowing completed late in 2011 to address various issues with the system. At the time of this report, approximately $3.1 million remains from this borrowing. An unknown amount will be needed to continue work for a DEQ Consent Order; but, the CIP Committee recommends (after concurrence from the Utility Advisory Committee) that $2.3 million of the remaining borrowing be used for the following projects:

• $1.5 million for a Utility Yard. • $430,000 for Water Treatment Plant rehabilitation. • $300,000 for HVAC and dust collection remediation at the Water Treatment Plant. • $80,000 for an excavator.

While the proposed projects included in this recommendation are the results of the deliberations of this Committee, the Committee wishes to emphasize the need for continued discussion of capital project funding, maintenance of facilities, cost estimated of future projects, and other capital related issues. Capital planning and budgeting is an essential element of financial management for our County.

Interoffice Memorandum

To: Gloucester County Board of Supervisors From: Nickie C. Champion, Director of Financial Services CC: Howard B. Kiser, Ed.D., Superintendent of Schools Brenda G. Garton, County Administrator Edwin N. Wilmot, County Attorney Joanne C. Wright, Director of Budget and Finance, GCPS Date: June 20, 2013 Re: Request for Public Hearing on School Construction Bonds As you know, the Board of Supervisors agreed in principal to borrow an additional $12.0 million for the Page Middle School Project. In addition, included in the fiscal year 2014 budget was a $5.0 million borrowing for school HVAC and roof repairs/upgrades. Due to the costs associated with selling school bonds, it makes fiscal sense to consolidate these needs into one bond issue if it is the desire of the Board to move forward with both projects. In that each bond sale could result in issuance costs of approximately $75,000 to $100,000, consolidating the needs could result in a sizable savings to the County. Ted Cole of Davenport and Company, the County’s financial advisors, will be at the July 2, 2013 meeting to discuss possible borrowing options (Case 1 = $12.0 million and Case 2 = $17.0 million) and the effects of those options on future County finances. A draft copy of his presentation has been included in these materials for your review. Copies of the final presentation will be distributed at the meeting. Additionally, the Board will be respectfully asked to authorize a public hearing for August 6, 2013 in order to receive public comment on the matter. Bonnie France, bond counsel with McGuire Woods, has helped prepare the attached resolution and public hearing notice. The documents were prepared to delineate the amount to be used for the Page Middle School project and the amount to be used for school HVAC and roof needs. While the total amount of actual bond receipts are unknown at this time, the resolution is written in such a way that $12.0 million will be assigned to the Page Middle School project and any remaining receipts (expected to be approximately $5.0 million) will be assigned to school HVAC and roof needs. Finally, while the resolution and public hearing notice included with this memorandum have been prepared in anticipation of the Board agreeing to hear comments on a combined borrowing of $17.0 million, the documents can be easily modified to reduce or increase the scope of the project. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
