Executive SummaryFISCAL ENVIRONMENT

2012 Revenue SurpriseThe fiscal position of the Consolidated City of Indianapolis, Marion County entering the 2013 budget cycle was substantially different than anticipated when the 2012 budget was adopted due to two (2) significant revenue surprises a lower than expected property tax circuit breaker loss and a major correction to local income tax distributions from the State.

Based on final 2012 property tax levies for all Marion County taxing units, as approved by the State Department of Local Government Finance (DLGF), the property tax circuit breaker loss for all taxing units was 23% less than projected for the 2012 budget. This was due mainly to approved 2012 school district levies for debt service and capital projects being much lower than expected. As a result, the combined 2012 property tax collections

seven (7) property tax-supported operating funds are now estimated to be $9.7 million higher than budgeted.

As for local income tax revenue, a major revelation occurred in April 2012 when the State Office of Management & Budget (OMB) announced that$207 million in local income tax collections, due to counties, had been mistakenly under-reported by the State Department of Revenue. As a result, State distributions of local income tax to counties for all of 2011 and through April 2012 had been too low. For the Consolidated City, this error corrections means that 2012 income tax revenue will be $46.6 million higher than budgeted ($17.7 million attributable to reporting errors that lowered our 2011 actual revenue; $28.9M attributable to reporting errors affecting our 2012 expected revenue).

Together, these revenue surprises have re-established operating fund balances that were previously projected to be substantially depleted by the end of 2012. In fact, $30 million of the income tax error correction amount was deposited in our Rainy Day Fund. Furthermore, the income tax error correction also revealed that our underlying local income base was a bit stronger than previously assumed. When adjusted for the error correction, the Consolidated $281 million peak in 2010 is now $57 million (20% decline) instead of an $85 million drop (31% decline) anticipated when the 2012 budget was adopted.

2013 Fiscal ConditionsDespite the good news of bolstered operating fund balances and a stronger income tax base, the Consolidated City still faces a very challenging fiscal environment for 2013. Put in broader context, the $57 million drop in income tax revenue is equal to approximately 10% of our 2012 adopted general operating fund budget of $568.6 million. Thus, we enter the 2013 budget season with an operating budget gap of $65 million (comparing 2013 projected base operating costs to 2013 projected baseline revenue).

Expectations for both property tax revenue and local income tax revenue are essentially flat for 2013. In fact, 2013 baseline revenue for both property tax and local income tax are down slightly from the latest estimates for 2012 revenue (assuming no tax policy changes and after adjusting 2012 income tax collections for the State reporting error correction). Baseline property tax revenue estimates are down because the reduced circuit breaker loss surprise from 2012 is not expected to repeat. Baseline income tax revenue estimates are down because a balance in the Levy Freeze Local Income

Page 7: 2013 Adopted Budget

Option Tax (LOIT) Stabilization Account (held by the County Treasurer for all government units in the county) will be exhausted in 2012. This means distributions of Levy Freeze LOIT monies to all taxing units will be reduced in 2013. For the Consolidated City, the reduction will be $3.2 million.

Despite continued revenue weakness expected in 2013, there is reason for optimism that the Consolidated continue to improve in 2014 and beyond.

Future Revenue OutlookThe general outlook for growth in the Consolidated remains weak reflecting the sluggish state of the broader economy. In Indiana, there is generally a two (2) year lag between economic events and the resulting impact on municipal income and property tax revenue. Thus, our tax revenuefor 2013 and 2014 will generally reflect local economic activity from 2011 and 2012.

This lag is due to structuraloccurred in 2011 are captured in the tax assessments in 2012. Those 2012 tax assessments then define the property tax base for 2013 billings. For local income tax revenue, earnings realized in 2011 are reported on tax returns filed with the State Department of Revenue in 2012. The 2012 income tax filings then define the local income tax base for 2013 certified distributions to local government units.

Expectations for property tax revenue growth remain flat. Until broad based economic growth triggers an escalation in property values, we can expect property tax revenue to remain stagnant. In the property tax cap era, when property value growth is stagnant, allowable levy growth authorized under State law is offset by rising property tax circuit breaker credits.

However, there is one major bright spot for revenue. A unique and sharp uptick in our certified distribution of local income tax is expected in 2014,approximately $20 million, unrelated to underlying economic activity. This uptick will be the result of resolving an income tax collection vsdistribution imbalance between the State and counties that occurred during the period of 2008 through 2010.

Over certified income tax distributions to counties far exceeded the local income tax collections received by the State Department of Revenue. This happened because the Great Recession produced a drop in income tax collections so sharp and rapid that the legal mechanism in place for adjusting certified distributions to counties could not keep pace. Thus, the State Treasury found itself in a position where it was carrying a large negative balance in the clearing accounts used for processing local income tax collections and distributions to counties.

To correct this imbalance, in 2011 the State instituted a cap on local income tax distributions to counties. The cap holds the certified distribution to each county level for 2012 and forward, until rising income tax collections offset

The subsequent local income tax reporting error and correction in 2011 and 2012, referenced above, certainly added an additional level of complexity to process of determining the correct clearing account balances for each county. Those issues have now all been reconciled. We estimate that the Marion County clearing account negative balance will be resolved in 2013; and thus, the cap on local income tax distributions lifted. This explains the unusual $20 million uptick expected for the Consolidated of the 2014 certified local income distribution.

Page 8: 2013 Adopted Budget

Beyond 2014, we expect local income tax revenue growth to return to a normal relationship to underlying economic activity, but lagged by two years as explained above.

KEY FISCAL FEATURES

2013 Budget PlanThis adopted (4) key features are: 1) it does not increase taxes on a recovering local economy; 2) is does continue to pay down the general obligation debt burden of the Consolidated City; 3) it does continue generational investments in repairing critical physical infrastructure; and 4) it does

However, the City- plan that were not supported by the Mayor. These changes were:

striking the proposed elimination of the Local Homestead Credit (reducing general operating revenue by $8 million per year);reducing the appropriation of RebuildIndy Fund monies for infrastructure improvement by $20 million; andinvoking a $15 million payment in-lieu of taxes

weakening on-going operating revenue; b) funding for the RebuildIndy

drawing cash from the CIB into the City treasury.

Consequently, the Mayor chose to exercise his line-item authority in response to these unwelcomed changes to the budget. More detail on this veto action is presented below.

o close the $65 million operating budget gap the 2013 adopted budget includes these key financial features:

$20 million spend down of general operating reserves;$25 million spend down of Rainy Day Fund reserves (leaving $5 million balance);$10 million reimbursement from tax increment financing (TIF) district reserves for past City-paid infrastructure investments;$5 million from suspension of scheduled 3% pay raise for police and firefighters;$3 million savings for 2013 non-election year;$1 million revenue from new vehicle personal use surcharge for Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) and Indianapolis Fire Department (IFD); and$1 million reduction in IMPD and IFD overtime

3

Page 9: 2013 Adopted Budget

In addition to seeking a reimbursement from TIF reserves, the Consolidated City is also releasing approximately $1.4 billion of allowable tax increment assessed value (AV) to the general tax base for 2013. This represents more than 25% the total allowable tax increment capture. This action will generate the combined benefits of: a) lowering total property taxpayer liability by over $15 million; and b) reducing the revenue loss due to property tax caps by nearly $20 million for all taxing units across the county. Of this $20 million revenue impact, the Consolidated City will realize $8.6 more in net property tax revenue than it would have otherwise.

This budget plan will also enable the Consolidated City to continue its investments in core information systems to modernize internal operations and financial controls. This is an investment necessary to both support productivity gains essential to navigating lean times and prepare the City to continueto excel over the long term.

At the crux of the 2013 the Local Homestead Credit. Under this subsidy program, homeowner property tax bills are lowered by using some local income tax revenue to pay down the property tax liability before tax bills are sent to homeowners. Thus, the property tax distributions tbills.

With the advent of the property tax caps, this property tax subsidy has lost its original impact. It has morphed from being a primary tool for protecting homeowners from rising property tax burdens to an ineffective program that no longer achieves its intended purpose.

-going general operating revenue, came their counter In essence, a plan to swap an $8 million annual revenue stream for a $15 million one-time cash infusion.

Furthermore, there was much uncertainty as to whether or not the $15 million payment in-lieu of taxes could be legally invoked on the CIB in 2013.T certain $15 million payment in-lieu of taxes.

appropriations, his veto options for addressing the fiscal imbalance in the Council-passed budget were limited. Ultimately, his decision was to strike a provision allocating $31.7 million of County Option Income Tax (COIT) revenue to the County General Fund. The resulting effect of this action is that this money will be held in abeyance by the County Treasurer, awaiting future guidance on when and where it is to be allocated. The underlying rationale for this veto action is that withholding this approximately $32 million in 2013 would make it available to address the approximately $35 million budget gap in 2014.

It must be noted that this veto action reduces funds available for County agencies by about 14% in 2013, if the funds are not eventually released. It is rk toward a mutually acceptable resolution to this disagreement

through the end of the year and into 2013, if necessary.

Strategic Fiscal ActionsIn August 2011, the Consolidated City closed a deal transferring of its water and wastewater utility assets and debt to Citizens Energy Group (CEG). CEG is a local public trust originally created, in 1887, to unique structure was devised to protect the citizens of Indianapolis from the twin perceived threats that access to natural gas energy might fall prey to the price inefficiency of a private monopoly or the political patronage exposure of a government run monopoly.

The deal generated over $450 million in cash proceeds, putting Indianapolis in the enviable position of being able to upgrade its physical infrastructure while many other municipalities across the nation continue to struggle. These proceeds will fund improvements to roads, bridges, sidewalks, and the demolition and deconstruction of abandoned properties through Mayor Ballard's RebuildIndy program.

Mayor Ballard is committed to protecting RebuildIndy funds. Thus, no RebuildIndy funds were used in the 2012 operating budget nor are any proposed for use to support the 2013 operating budget for the Consolidated City. Furthermore, $80 million of the proceeds were set aside in a new

may not be spent for any purpose until it is no longer necessary to maintain our AAA rating; then, those funds must be transferred to the RebuildIndy Fund for future investment in infrastructure projects.

By year end, more than $270 million will have been invested to improve roads, bridges, sidewalks, or demolish abandoned properties in every part of our city. In 2013 over $100 million dollars more in addressing remaining infrastructure needs.

In a single stroke, this transaction positioned Indianapolis to be stronger both in physical assets and financial resilience. As a result, when a sustained economic recovery does eventually take hold, Indianapolis will be poised to leap forward while many of our peers will have to first play catch up on rebuilding their financial reserves and physical infrastructure base. However, we cannot be complacent because major issues still remain to align permanent infrastructure funding with long-term reinvestment needs.

SPECIFIC BUDGET ELEMENTS

General Funds vs Dedicated FundsThe fund structure for municipal government is exceedingly complex. There are many, many distinct funds which comprise the overall fiscal structure of the Consolidated City. In the face of this complexity, some simplifying assumptions are helpful to bring order and context to the fund inventory that can appear overwhelming at first glance.

Most of the operating budget for the Consolidated City is funded by general tax revenue, both property tax and income tax. General funds are funds which receive a substantial share of their revenue from taxes that have very broad flexibility.

Dedicated funds, on the other hand, are funds which receive revenue from taxes or non-tax sources that have very restricted legal uses. A more detaileddescription of the fund structure of municipal government is provided elsewhere in this report.

100% Base BudgetS action on County agency funds, the 2013 adopted budget sets funding for the general fund supported County agencies and City departments at the proper level to fully support current operations (i.e. a 100% base budget). This means that adjustments were made to the budget of each agency and department to: a) close known gaps between 2012 budgeted appropriations and current operations, with a particular focus on public safety and criminal justice; and b) to fund rising fixed and semi-fixed costs (e.g. pension contributions; health insurance; rent; internal service charges; multi-year contracts; fuel; etc). In total, the general tax-supported budgets for agencies and departmentswere increased by $27 million (4.7%).

Key features of the adopted budget for public safety and criminal justice are:

general operating budget increased $7.6 million (8.4%) to close gaps in funding for their salaries and benefits, Jail II operating contract,and arrestee medical costs;IMPD general operating budget increased $9.8 million (5.5%) to close gaps in funding for rent, utilities, fuel/vehicle maintenance, and equipment replacement;IFD general operating budget increased $3.9 million (2.9%) to close gaps in funding for salaries and benefits;funding for inmate and arrestee medical care and guardian ad litem services is consolidated into separate funds to highlight their significance and isolate these expenses from the normal operating costs of the Sheriff and Superior Courts; andthe $2 million Crime Prevention Grant program will be continued.

Additional key features of the adopted budget for other general government functions are:

reduced Election Board budget by $2.6 million to reflect that 2013 is a non-election year;increased Information Services Agency (ISA) internal charges by 16% to bring them into proper alignment with actual ISA costs (charges up by $4.1 million while ISA budget is essentially flat);continued capital investment in park grounds and facilities to further enhance these key public assets; andthe $1 million grant to the Indianapolis Arts Council will be continued.

Dedicated Fund DepartmentsThere are four (4) City departments whose operations are funded completely or substantially from dedicated funds. The largest of these is the Department of Public Works (DPW). The others are: Department of Metropolitan Development (DMD); Department of Code Enforcement (DCE); and the Public Safety Communications (PSC) division within the Department of Public Safety (DPS). Because income tax revenue, their budgets have generally not been directly impacted by the sharp downturn in income tax revenue since 2010 (with PSC as the only exception). However, they each face other types of revenue challenges.

In this introduced budget, ability to deliver high quality snow and ice removal services this winter and necessary street and walkway repairs next spring remains intact. Work will also continue, in earnest, on flood control improvements across the city in 2013. road and street

maintenance operations are heavily dependent on motor fuel tax and vehicle license fee revenue shared by the State. Both the economic downturn and structural changes in the demand for motor fuel have caused this key revenue source to wane over the past decade. Thus, DPW must continue to strive for savings and service level improvements in response to the weakness in this revenue stream. Fortunately, the RebuildIndy Fund has taken some pressure traditional dedicated transportation revenues. However, when the RebuildIndy Fund is exhausted, now projected for early in 2014, the pressure

DMD is funded largely from federal grants and legally restricted tax and fee revenue. Though shielded from the sharp decline in local income tax, DMD has suffered from a similarly dramatic tightening of federal grant funds, as the weak national economy and serious federal deficit concerns has slowed the spigot of federal-aid support for local planning and economic development efforts. In response, the 2013 introduced budget includes a $1.5 million transfer from the City General Fund to maintain DMD at its current service level.

DCE will continue to operate at the level their dedicated, non-fungible revenue support. DCE charges fees only to those who use its service, freeing all taxpayers of the burden of funding this department; so, its funding level depends more on the effectiveness of its operations than on the general tax revenue climate of local government.

From a funding perspective, the PSC division is the most unique of the dedicated fund supported City departments. It does, in fact, receive a substantial share of its revenue from the 1% COIT. While the PSC division is also eligible to receive E911 fee revenue, all of that revenue has been allocated to

emergency dispatch operations in 2013.

Because the method for allocating COIT revenue to PSC is uniquely prescribed by State law, this income tax revenue has legal characteristics more like a dedicated funding source than a flexible, general funding source. Allocations -the-balance is distributed to all other -the-shifted to other uses within the operating budget of the Consolidated City.

Because the PSC division is so dependent on local income tax revenue, its funding has suffered as a result of the sharp downturn in local income tax distributions to Marion County since 2010. The 2013 adopted budget restores PSC funding to a more appropriate level. To accomplish this, the 2013

-the- cation was increased by 11% (nearly $1 million). This will enable the PSC division to proceed with an initiative to replace an aging computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system.

Support for the Indianapolis/Marion County Public Library Finally, the matter of funding for the Indianapolis/Marion County Public Library (IMCPL) has also been a growing concern over the past few years.During the 2011 session of the Indiana General Assembly, municipal finance laws governing Marion County were changed to allow a portion of the COIT revenue to be allocated to the IMCPL. The fact that local income tax revenue is currently stagnant makes the idea of adding new uses for these scarce funds less appealing fiscally; however, with an eye on the long haul, adding the library to the COIT allocation formula is the right policy.

-the- 10% of the county total. This same policy is continued in the 2013 adopted budget, providing IMCPL with $169,016.

LOOKING FORWARD

The 2013 adopted budget for the Consolidated City once again sets forth a responsible fiscal plan by which agencies can continue serving all citizens of Marion County, making Indianapolis a safe, livable city now and for decades to come. However, with the still unresolved structural deficit and the

A sharp $20 million rebound in local income tax revenues for the Consolidated City, anticipated in 2014, provides reason for optimism. However, serious fiscal challenges and decisions still lay ahead.

Based on the adopted budget, summarized in this report, the budget gap entering the 2014 budget cycle will potentially total $35 million. This estimate recognizes that: a) a portion of the $65 million gap for 2013 is closed with the spend down of reserves; b) fixed and semi-fixed costs continue to rise; and c) tax revenue growth will likely remain stagnant (aside from the unique $20 million income tax uptick in 2014).

To bridge this gap, it is imperative that we maintain some reserves and continue to find meaningful operational savings. The Office of Finance & Management must seriously consider exercising its authority to invoke a management reserve requirement on department and agency budgets. Under this authority, up to 5% (approximately $30 million) of the general fund appropriations may be withheld from budgets. Also, Mayor Ballad has tasked the Office of Audit & Performance (OAP) to identify at least $15 million in savings from elimination of non-value added redundancies remaining across the operations of all departments and agencies of the Consolidated City. For example, the Sheriff and the IMPD now engage separate vendors for psychological testing of deputies and officers. Also, the Sheriff, Superior Courts, and County Prosecutor are exempted from working through the central Human Resources Division of the Consolidated City.

Such work is the official charge of OAP by virtue of its authorizing code cite. Delivering on this savings goal will require the cooperation of all City departments and County agencies, and is critical to managing the finances of the Consolidated City until a return of broad based economic growth starts helping the local tax base recover.

FundsThe Indiana State Board of Accounts (SBOA) defines “fund” to mean “cash or a group of accounts set aside for the purpose of accounting for monies or other resources of general functions or specific activities . . . in accordance with the system of accounts prescribed by the State Board of Accounts or as required by statute”(State Board of Accounts, Accounting and Uniform Compliance Guidelines Manual for Cities and Towns, State of Indiana, reissued 2006).

Funds that the SBOA prescribes for use by cities include but are not limited to, general funds, special revenue funds, debt services funds, capital projects funds, internal service funds, and agency funds.

Funds included in the 2013 Adopted Budget represent those that require appropriation by the City-County Council. Appropriation is the authorization of the City-County Council by ordinance to make disbursements or to incur obligations for specific purposes.

General FundsGeneral funds are funds which receive a substantial share of their revenue from taxes that have very broad flexibility. For example, the 1% County Option Income Tax (COIT) distributions and the County General Fund property tax levy may legally be used to fund any governmental purpose.

The core general operating funds for the Consolidated City are: County General Fund; Consolidated County General Fund (aka City General Fund); Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) General Fund; Indianapolis Fire Department (IFD) General Fund; and Parks General Fund. Additionally, in 2013, there are six

(6) other funds that are also defined as general operating funds. They are: Public Safety Income Tax Fund – County; Public Safety Income Tax Fund – City; Personal Services Contingency Fund – County; Personal Services Contingency Fund – City; Guardian Ad Litem Fund; and Medical Care for Inmates Fund. What all of these funds have in common is that they each will each receive a substantial amount of flexible tax revenue in 2013. Thus, there is the ability to reallocate the flexible revenue flowing to these funds across many competing operational needs.

Dedicated FundsDedicated funds, on the other hand, are funds which receive revenue from taxes or non-tax sources that have very restricted legal uses. A more apt of a dedicated fund description is a fund that receives little or no revenue from flexible tax revenue sources. Some examples are the Parking Meter Fund and the Permits Fund. These are both dedicated funds because their revenue sources have strictly limited legal uses.

The Consolidated City also uses dedicated funds to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (e.g., special revenue funds) and/or for expenditures restricted to a specific purpose (e.g. debt service funds; enterprise funds). Debt service funds (aka sinking funds) are used to account for the accumulation of revenue for the payment of long-term debt principal and interest.

Grant FundsFinally, the Consolidated City also employs grant funds to collect revenues and track expenditures for grant monies received from other units of government.

STATEMENT OF FUND BALANCECONSOLIDATED CITY OF INDIANAPOLIS, MARION COUNTY

APPROPRIATIONS, LEVIES, AND MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE2013 Adopted Budget

Notes: This report excludes TIF debt service, TIF capital and other capital project funds. Those funds are not annually appropriated by the City-County Council. Debt service funds for other special revenue (i.e. non-tax) bonds are also not included in this report. December 31 Budgetary Fund Balance for City State and Federal Grants above is adjusted to approximate corrections to 2012 spending and/or revenue not yet posted in the accounting system when the budget was adopted.

Page 16: 2013 Adopted Budget

Page 17: 2013 Adopted Budget

RevenuesState law requires adoption of a balanced budget, which shall include all anticipated revenues and expenses of every organizational unit (with the exception of utilities). As such, all appropriations adopted by the City-County Council must be fully supported by (1) revenue that is legally eligible to support proposed expenses, and/or (2) fund balance (essentially prior year, unencumbered revenue) that is legally eligible to support the proposed expense.

The Consolidated City relies primarily on property and income taxes to fund its operations. However, a significant amount of revenue is derived from Fees and Charges as well as from Federal and State Grants. The following pages provide more detailed information about property tax rates, levies and districts as well as the various types of income taxes, tax rates as well as the available uses of such funds.

Page 22: 2013 Adopted Budget

Property TaxCitizens of the Consolidated City are subject to several overlapping property tax districts which levy taxes for city and county general purpose funds, as well as specific services. Taxpayer residing in overlapping districts would be subject to the tax rates of each applicable district.

Certified Levy (Gross Levy) The total property tax levy for a taxing unit before the property tax cap is considered. Referred to as “certified” because it is approved by the State Department of Local Government Finance (DLGF). DLGF approval is required to ensure that the levy amount is within maximum levy limitations set by State law.

Net Levy The expected property tax levy after deducting the property tax circuit breaker credits attributable to the property tax caps.

Gross Assessed Value The assessed value of a property before applying any eligible property tax deductions or abatements (which lower the property’s taxable assessed value). The property tax caps are set based on each parcel’s gross assessed value.

Net Assessed Value (Taxable Assessed Value) The taxable value of property after all eligible property tax deductions and abatements are applied.

Property Tax Cap (aka Circuit Breaker) The property tax cap, also known as the “circuit breaker,” was enacted by the Indiana General Assembly in 2008 and subsequently amended into the Indiana Constitution. The cap guarantees that property tax rates in overlapping districts cannot exceed a certain capped percent of the parcel’s gross assessed value. The “circuit breaker” amount represents property tax liability waived because it is above the level allowed under the property tax caps. The property tax caps are as follows:

1% - for Homestead property 2% - for other residential property and agricultural land 3% - for commercial and industrial property

Taxing Districts & RatesThe following pages show the taxing districts along with the Net Assessed Values (NAV) of taxable property within those districts for 2013. The Tax Rate for a district is determined by the following formula:

Income Tax State law allows Indiana counties to impose a local income tax on the State adjusted gross income of county taxpayers.

Also, counties may choose between several income tax options and combinations. Each type of local income tax option is regulated by specific rules and rate restrictions. Residents of Marion County are subject to three interrelated income taxes in the form of the County Option Income Tax (COIT), the Levy Freeze Local Option Income Tax (LOIT), and the Public Safety Income Tax (PST).

This local income tax is collected by the State Department of Revenue then distributed to counties based on the amount due to each county on State income tax returns processed.

County Income Tax Council (CITC) Local income tax is imposed or modified in a county by the action of the CITC. In Marion County, the CITC is composed of the City-County Council and the fiscal body of each city or town that lies either partially or entirely within the county. The other members of the CITC are the Lawrence City Council, the Beech Grove City Council, the Southport City Council, and the Speedway Town Council.

Voting representation on the CITC is based on each member unit’s share of the total county population. In Marion County, the City-County Council holds over 90% of the voting representation on the CITC.

County Option Income Tax (COIT)Current Rate: 1.00% Maximum Rate: 1.00% COIT revenue may be used for any lawful purpose of the governmental unit.

Levy Freeze Local Option Income Tax (LOIT) Current Rate: 0.27% Maximum Rate: 1.00% An additional income tax rate may be imposed to generate revenue to replace property tax levy growth. Thus, imposing this tax reflects a policy choice to shift fiscal reliance from property tax to income tax, not an overall tax increase.

Once imposed, this rate may neither be rescinded nor decreased. Each year the CITC must hold at least one public meeting to discuss whether or not Levy Freeze LOIT rate should be increased.

Public Safety Income Tax (PST)Current Rate: 0.35% Maximum Rate: 0.50% Because Marion County has imposed a Levy Freeze LOIT rate, State law allows adoption of a PST rate. PST revenues may be used for police and fire, including pensions, emergency services, communications systems, jails and related facilities, and other items related to public safety.

ExpendituresExpenditure Categories (Characters)In addition to the restrictions imposed by agencies/departments regarding funding sources, agency spending is further restricted by limiting the total funds available to support various spending categories or “characters”. The Consolidated City employs five separate characters to segregate spending. Each is described as follows:

Personal Services (Character 1) This category includes expenditures for salaries, wages and related employee benefits provided for all Consolidated City employees. Employee benefits include employer contributions to group health and life insurance, pension benefits, unemployment compensation, uniform allowance and similar benefits.

Materials and Supplies (Character 2) This category includes articles and commodities that are consumed or materially altered when used. Supplies include office supplies, operating supplies, repair and maintenance supplies and other similar items.

Other Services and Charges (Character 3) This category includes expenditures for services other than personal services required by the Consolidated City either to carry out its assigned functions or to fulfill moral or legal obligations. Other Services and Charges includes professional services, communication and transportation, printing and advertising, insurance (excluding group health, life and self-insurance), utility expenditures, contracted repairs and maintenance, rentals, debt service expenditures for principal and interest payments as well as long-term debt.

Properties and Equipment (Character 4) This category includes expenditures for the acquisition of, or addition to assets such as land, infrastructure, buildings, improvements other than buildings, as well as machinery and equipment.

Internal Charges (Character 5) This category includes internal charges such as expenditures for the Mayor’s Action Center, the Office of Corporation Counsel and Fleet Services.

If a department has a negative appropriation for Character 5, it means that department is a provider of internal services and a net recipient of internal charges.

This category exists for only City departments. Similar expenditures from county agencies are reported as Character 3 instead. Since the Information Services Agency (ISA) is a County agency, their charges are not administered through Character 5. Both City departments and County agencies pay ISA charges through Character 3.

Agency Budget SummariesThe Agency Budget Summaries section: 1) provides an operational overview of each of the county agencies

and city departments; 2) details the funding sources that will fund each

agency/department; and 3) outlines how those agencies/departments intend to spend those

funds by expenditure category or “character”.

SourcesThe “Sources” listed for each agency/department budget represents either a single or a collection of funding sources available to an agency/department (See the Funds section for further explanation).

Expenditures Agencies and departments are restricted in how they can use the funds available to them. The Consolidated City employs five separate expenditure “Characters” to categorize these uses (See the Expenditures section for explanation of these characters).

Final vs. Adopted vs. IntroducedFor the purpose of comparison, each summary shows recent historical data for agency/department budgets. The following explains the terminology used in these comparisons.

Budget Introduced shows the amounts budgeted for each agency/department as determined by agency/department finance officers and the Office of Finance and Management. This is the budget introduced by the Mayor to the City-County Council for amendment and eventual adoption.

Budget Adopted shows the amounts budgeted for each agency/department as adopted by the City-County Council in October of the preceding fiscal year.

Actual Final shows the final expenditures and encumbrances for each department and agency for the fiscal year.

DPS ADMINISTRATION

IntroductionThe City of Indianapolis Department of Public Safety (DPS) will remain a national model leveraging the unique strengths of the Police, Fire, Homeland Security, Animal Care and Control, and Communications

Divisions as an integrated department. DPS will deliver the highest quality of public safety services in a fiscally effective manner to secure the Greater Indianapolis area by preventing, preparing for, responding to, and recovering from routine emergencies and large-scales incidents. The Administration unit of DPS provides coordination and leadership for the agencies within DPS.

StructureThe Department of Public Safety comprises five integrated divisions as well as the Citizens Police Complaint Office (CPCO). The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, Indianapolis Fire Department, Division of Homeland Security, Animal Care and Control, and Public Safety Communications operate within one department and share resources in innovative ways. This structure increases operational effectiveness by leveraging the strengths of each division to provide public safety services to the City of Indianapolis/Marion County. Each of the divisions has their own operational goals and unique personalities.

The Department of Public Safety was created by Section 251 of the revised municipal code. CPCO, independent of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, was created by city ordinance. The CPCO affords citizens of the Consolidated City of Indianapolis Marion County who believe they have been treated improperly by an IMPD officer the opportunity to have his or her complaint(s) both heard and investigated.

MARION COUNTY SURVEYOR

IntroductionMarion County Surveyor's Office was established by the Indiana Constitution in 1851. General Land Office surveys in what is now Marion County began in 1819. Marion County is part of the rectangular survey system (Public Land System), which divides the land into sections that are one square mile. All real estate boundaries in Marion County can be traced back to the Public Land System. Statute law requires the Surveyor to

recheck at least five percent of the section corners each year, there are over 2000 corners. The Marion County Surveyor’s Office maintains a Legal Survey Record Book and a Corner Record Book. No fee is charged for surveying services provided to any city, county and other governmental agencies.

StructureSurveying In the field, the staff performs the precise measurements of Section Corners and ties, per Indiana Code and replacing said monuments as necessary. We monitor the Eagle Creek Dam for horizontal and vertical movement as well as performing vital research within the office.

Information Technology Information Technology supports the needs of the Surveyor’s Office. This area compiles the data surveyors collect in the field by use of AutoCAD and GIS software. Further, that data along with both the corner history and drawing (which this department provides) is posted onto the county’s website. We collect and quality check all measurements to ensure accurate, reliable information is provided.

Having a greater reliance on new technology has helped the Surveyor’s office to build a solid fiscal commitment to provide government and private sector agencies and companies timely, accurate and useful information, while helping us and these agencies and companies save taxpayers money and time. Finally, these advancements in technology have enabled us to fulfill our legal obligation for the completion of the Alcohol & Tobacco Commission’s Verification of Business Location forms.

Preservation Preservation is as much a part of the surveyor’s office as surveying and technology. We believe in the importance of preserving our past for the future generations. Understanding the necessity of creating legible electronic copies of the records, maps, surveys and plats housed in the surveyor’s office to ensure that they will be easily accessible for years to come. By concentrating on this now we have been able to scan or have scanned already deteriorating documents.

Debt ServiceThe Consolidated City carries different types of debt associated with various programs and services. This debt takes on two forms: (1) general obligation debt, which is supported by a pledge of the full faith and credit of the Consolidated City and is usually funded by tax revenue, and (2) special revenue debt, which is supported by a pledge of a specific revenue stream.

Generally, the revenue stream pledged for special revenue debt is a fee or other non-tax revenue. In the case of debt funded by tax increment financing (TIF), tax increment revenue captured is segregated from the regular property tax revenue of the Consolidated City.

The Consolidated City of Indianapolis, Marion County takes pride and care in maintaining its AAA (stable) credit rating for its general obligation debt.

General Obligation DebtMost of the Consolidated City’s general obligation debt is related to transportation, parks, and emergency communications infrastructure. Other general obligation debt is related to police and fire pension costs as well as redevelopment efforts throughout the Consolidated City.

Debt service payments for general obligation debt are typically funded entirely, or in part, with tax revenue. Only tax-supported debt service is included in tables presented in this report.

Special Revenue DebtSpecial revenue debt is mostly associated with Tax Increment Financing (TIF) districts throughout Marion County. This debt is supported through property tax increment capture. This financing tool is used to develop and grow various communities and neighborhoods that otherwise would have little growth potential.

TIF funds, including debt service for TIF bonds, are not appropriated by the City-County Council. In Marion County, the Metropolitan Development Commission (MDC) serves as the fiscal body for TIF funds.

Other special revenue debt includes economic development bonds which are typically supported by a revenue stream generated by a specific investment. An example would be a bond issued to finance a parking garage with the parking fees pledged to pay the debt service. Another example would be financing stormwater projects, undertaken by the Consolidated City to address flood control problems, with stormwater fees pledged to paying the debt service.

TIF debt service and other special revenue debt service is not included in tables presented in this report, but is available separately.
