District Profile
The Sedona area is a unique and special place. With awe-inspiring red rock formations and the scenic beauty of Oak Creek Canyon, its splendor has been compared to that of many national parks.
This unique environment requires specialized services from its Fire District; for example, the surrounding national forest is subject to wildland fires; Oak Creek is prone to flooding from the summer monsoon and/or winter snow melt; the beautiful red rocks attract hikers who sometimes become trapped and injured in the Sedona back country; and because approximately 33% of the community is of retirement age, the emergency medical services must be tailored to meet service needs. Further, in addition to the upwards of 25,000 residents who make the Sedona area home, it is estimated that up to three million guests visit the community annually. The District boundaries also contain pockets of residential and commercial development, including the Village of Oak Creek, the Chapel area, Uptown, Oak Creek Canyon, and West Sedona. The Red Rock Loop area is growing, as well as Seven Canyons and the end of Verde Valley School Road. In many cases there is “one way in” and “one way out” of many of these pocket communities and the geography and topography of the road infrastructure creates significant response challenges for Fire District responders. Despite its unique challenges, the Sedona Fire District strives to offer professional, progressive, and comprehensive emergency response services. SFD provides services through its three main divisions:
Administration and Operational Support – provides Leadership; Long-Range Planning; Budget Development; Financial Management; Human Resources; Payroll; Contract Administration; Grants; Computer Aided Dispatch coordination; 9-1-1 Dispatching and Regional Communication; Computer Technology, Radios and Pagers; Maintenance of Telecommunication Towers; Microwave Communication; General Customer Service for the efficient daily administration and operational support functions of the District.
Operations and Emergency Medical Services– offers complete service delivery of traditional and creative Fire Suppression, Prevention, and Education; Wildland Fire Protection and Suppression; delivery of Emergency Medical Services, both basic and advanced life support; Operational training; Hazardous Materials protection; High Angle Rope, Swiftwater, Trench and Confined Space Rescues; Peer Fitness. Service is accomplished through daily staffing and response of four Paramedic Engine Companies and four Paramedic Ambulances. This Division is also responsible for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) administration including supply and equipment acquisition, and operational training and certification.
6 of 125
Community Risk Management and Fleet- provides Construction Plan and Development Review; Fire, home, engine company, wildland and construction inspections; Fire Suppression system reviews and inspections; Investigation of complaints of fire hazards and nuisances; Public Information; Public Education; Hazardous Materials and Fire Investigation; Records and files of fire losses, construction activities, area growth, fire hazards, building information, liaison and assistance to outside agencies concerning fire investigation and inspection; Special Projects such as annexations, fire code development, and fire hydrant installation. This Division is also responsible for Fleet maintenance, acquisition, and repair.

Budget Message – From Business Director Karen Daines
The budget processes for Fiscal Years 2010, 2011, and now 2012 have necessitated the Sedona Fire District to look with critical eyes at the way it has been providing services and the resources it needs to maintain existing service levels. Because of the national and regional economic downturn, in Fiscal Year 2009, SFD began a period of belt-tightening , focusing on critical needs, core service provision, and “have to haves” instead of “nice to haves.” Over the last several years, the District has been working to create an organizational philosophy of doing more with less, and identifying and implementing opportunities to create value and gain efficiencies wherever possible. This philosophy has been continued with the preparation of the Fiscal Year 2012 budget.
Over the last few years the District has also been working to create a sizable reserve fund in order to secure the organization’s financially stability and to be as well prepared as possible for the double digit declines to overall assessed valuations that occurred this year and last. This preparation is now allowing the organization to deal with the 2011 and 2012 revenue declines without having to make cuts to the core services it provides to the community.
The Fiscal Year 2012 recommended budget totals $13.28 million, which represents a 3.6% reduction over the FY2011 budget. This follows a 4.7% overall reduction made to the FY2010 budget from the FY2009 budget; and a 9.2% reduction from the FY2010 to the FY2011 budget. The Operating Budget – the amount required to run all of the day to day operations of the District – is $11.92 million which represents a $550,000 reduction over last year’s operating budget level of $12.47 million. Additions to the 2011 operating expenditures include only those cost increases that were unavoidable, such as the employer’s portion of the Public Safety Retirement Contribution which increases from 14.73% to 16.09% of total wages. Additional reductions were made through eliminating three more full time positions; further reducing overtime and certain benefits line items including health care; and scaling back tremendously on all contractual and commodities expenditures.
Further, no new programs or service level improvements have been considered for inclusion in the FY2012 operating budget. The board has also decided to maintain the mil levy at $1.40 for FY2012. This rate, applied to a total assessed valuation for FY2012 that is 20.17% lower than the previous year, has reduced the overall tax portion of the budget by 20.17%. Given this significant tax revenue reduction, the FY12 budget will need to be balanced by utilizing $2,503,653 from reserve funds. $1,528,000 will be retained in a Board Directed Contingency Account, and any transfers or expenditures from the contingency account will require separate Board approval.
9 of 125
In FY2010, the Sedona Fire District also began publishing a separate five-year capital improvement plan (CIP) to outline over a five year period any projected expenditure over $35,000. This is presented as a balanced plan, whereby no capital expenditure has been included in the plan that does not have an identified funding source associated with it. However, because there continue to be capital outlay needs without available funding, the most critical of those capital items are being listed in the Plan document as “unfunded” so management continues to keep these needs on the radar for the governing body, and taxpayers, understanding that when the District’s financial situation and the state/nation/region’s economic situation stabilizes these capital needs will need to be addressed. Due to overall lack of available funding for FY12, the only planned capital expenditures for FY2012 include the replacement of a generator at Fire Station 1 and funding to begin the federally mandated narrowbanding project. Station 1’s operation is mission critical as it serves not only as the main fire station for West Sedona, but as the District’s Administrative Headquarters, and the regional Emergency Operations Center. The narrowbanding project, which requires that we reduce the bandwidth of the radio channels now being used for our
emergency communications, is being funded because completion is federally mandated by January 1, 2013.

Financial Assessment
The District has an important responsibility to its citizens to carefully account for public funds, to manage its finances wisely, and to plan for the adequate funding of services desired by the public. In these times of tight budgets, and of limited or negative growth in the District’s tax base, the District needs to ensure that it is capable of adequately funding and providing those core services desired by the community. Ultimately, the District’s reputation and success will depend on the public’s awareness and acceptability of the management and delivery of these services.
10 of 125
Financial Goals
The development of guidelines for the District’s overall fiscal planning and management should foster and support the continued financial strength and stability of the Sedona Fire District and its financial goals. Through the establishment of sound financial policies the District seeks to:
Deliver quality services in an affordable, efficient and cost-effective basis providing full value for each tax dollar.
Maintain an adequate financial base to sustain a sufficient level of fire and emergency medical response.
Have the ability to withstand local and regional economic fluctuations, and to respond to changes in funding as they affect District operations.
Maintain a high bond credit rating to ensure the District’s future access to the bond markets and to provide assurance to the District’s taxpayers that the District is well managed and financially sound.
Financial Policies
Establishing and following sound financial policies will enhance the District’s financial health as well as its image and credibility with its citizens, the public in general, bond rating agencies, and investors. The Board is charged with establishing financial policies and staff is responsible for carrying out those policies in the day to day management of District finances.
The District’s budget is closely aligned with the financial policies established by the Sedona Fire District Governing Board. Last November, the Board began developing and adopting various financial policies as part of the development of the Sedona Fire District’s “Principles of Sound Financial Management.” These new policies will serve to strengthen the current and long-term financial health of the organization and will be revisited annually to ensure they represent the most current and realistic framework for decision-making. Policies have been established on the following financial topics:
Fund Balance - Per Governing Board policy, fund balance reserves for the General Fund shall be maintained at 15% of the total General Fund budget for the fiscal year (budgeted as Unappropriated Ending Fund Balance). This fund balance will serve as working capital for the first 2.5 months of the fiscal year, until first half taxes are received through Yavapai and Coconino Counties; and to provide a comfortable margin of safety to address emergencies and unexpected declines in revenue without borrowing or making significant cuts to core services. It is the philosophy of the Board to have sufficient resources on hand at the beginning of the fiscal year to fund the District’s operating expenses until property taxes are received from the County Treasurers, thus eliminating or at least significantly reducing, the need for short-term borrowing.
Capital Improvement Program - The purpose of the Capital Improvement Program is to systematically identify, plan, schedule, finance, track and monitor capital projects to ensure cost-effectiveness as well as conformance with established policies and priorities. The Sedona Fire Chief will annually submit a five-year Capital Improvement Program for review by the Sedona Fire District The program will be updated annually and include the direct costs of the project as well as any associated ongoing operational costs. The CIP will be presented as a balanced plan, whereby
11 of 125
all expenditures are supported by identified sources of revenue. When current revenues are available for capital projects, consideration will first be given to those capital assets that have the shortest useful life, and for assets whose nature makes them comparatively more difficult to finance with bonds or lease financing.
The Capital Improvement Program shall provide:
A statement of the objectives of the Capital Improvement Program and the relationship with the District’s Strategic Plan, necessary service levels, and expected facilities and infrastructure needs.
An implementation program for each of the capital improvements that provides for the coordination and timing of project construction/acquisition amongst other competing needs.
An estimate of each project’s costs, anticipated sources of revenue for financing the project, and an estimate of the impact of each project on District revenues and operating budgets. The operating impact information shall be forecasted for a period of five years from scheduled date of the capital improvement project. No capital project shall be funded unless operating impacts have been assessed and the necessary funds can be reasonably anticipated to be available when needed.
For the systematic improvement and maintenance of the District’s capital infrastructure, maximizing the useful life of capital investments by scheduling renovations and modifications at the appropriate time in the life-cycle of the asset.
Debt ratio targets that comply with the Governing Board’s Debt Management Policy.
A schedule of proposed debt issuance (if applicable).
The District will match programs and activities identified in the Capital Improvement Program with associated funding sources.
When current revenues or resources are available for capital improvement projects, consideration will be given first to those capital assets with the shortest useful life and/or to those capital assets whose nature makes them comparatively more difficult to finance with bonds or lease financing. Using cash for projects with shorter lives and bonds/financing for projects with longer lives facilitates “intergenerational equity,” wherein projects with long useful lives are paid over several generations using the project through debt service payments.
Long Range Forecasting – the District will annually update a five-year long-range forecast, incorporating both projected revenues and expenditures for the District’s General Fund. The five-year revenue forecast will only include revenue that is reasonably considered to be sustainable over at least that five year period. Expenditure projections will include anticipated operating impacts of whatever capital improvement expenditures are programmed in the Five Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The process of long range forecasting will also serve to define the critical issues and priorities and incorporate the District’s strategic plan and long term vision for the organization.
Fiscal Planning and Budgeting – policy seeks to govern the preparation, monitoring and analysis of the District’s budget, incorporating a long-term perspective and a system of identifying resources and allocating those resources among competing purposes. The District will present an annual operating budget that is balanced, meaning that planned expenditures are equal to or less than current revenues and that ongoing expenditures will only be paid for with ongoing revenues. The
12 of 125
budget will not postpone expenditures, use one-time (non-recurring) revenue sources to fund ongoing (recurring) uses, or use external borrowing for operational requirements. The Sedona Fire District identifies and allocates resources amongst various needs. It is increasingly important to incorporate a long-term perspective and to monitor the performance of the programs competing to receive funding.
Budgeting will be done on a modified accrual basis. Under the modified accrual basis, expenditures are recorded when the goods or services are actually received, rather than when the invoices are paid. The exception to this general rule is interest on general long-term debt, which is recognized when due. Revenues are recorded in the accounting period in which they become measurable and available.
Expenditure Control – policy governs compliance with legally adopted budget by instituting processes for setting and modifying appropriation and expenditure limits and safeguarding the organization from possible “overspending.” The operating budget is controlled at the organization level but the capital budget is controlled at the individual project level.
Revenues and Collections – policy encourages diversification of the District’s revenue base, regular monitoring of revenues, and aggressive collecting of all revenue. A FY2012 priority for the governing board is to seek alternative sources of funding to help offset the overwhelming reliance on property taxes as the District’s primary source of revenue and to ease the burden on District taxpayers. The District will estimate its annual revenues by an objective, analytical process whenever possible and will forecast revenues by individual category for a period of five years into the future. These forecasts will be updated annually.
Grants – policy establishes under what conditions grants will be pursued and with what administrative or legislative approvals. The District shall apply for only those grants that are consistent with the objectives and high priority needs previously identified by the governing board. The potential for incurring ongoing costs, to include the assumption of support for grant-funded positions from local revenues, will be considered prior to applying for a grant. The District shall attempt to recover all allowable costs – both direct and indirect – associated with the administration and implementation of programs funded through grants. The District may waive or reduce indirect costs if doing so will significantly increase the effectiveness of the grant. All grant submittals shall be reviewed for their cash match requirements, their potential impact on the operation budget, and the extent to which they meet the District’s policy objectives. When the potential for ongoing expenditures is more than $10,000, staff shall seek Board approval prior to submission of the grant application. Should time constraints under the grant program make this impossible, staff shall obtain approval to submit from the Fire Chief and then, at the earliest feasible time, seek formal Board approval. If there is a cash match requirement, the source of funding shall be identified prior to application. The District shall terminate grant-funded programs and associated positions when grant funds are no longer available unless alternate funding is identified.
User Fee Cost Recovery and Indirect Cost Allocations – policy encourages full cost recovery of most publicly provided services that benefit specific individuals or organizations and the utilization of user fees to augment general tax revenues. The District shall establish user fees and charges for certain services provided to users receiving a specific benefit. The District will conduct a cost of
13 of 125
service study to identify the full cost of providing a service for which fees are charged. The calculation of full cost will include all reasonable and justifiable direct and indirect cost components. Fees and charges will be established to recover the full cost of service, unless the percentage of full cost recovery has been reduced by specific action of the governing board. It is recognized that occasionally competing policy objectives may result in reduced user fees and charges that recover only a portion of service costs. User fees shall be reviewed on a regular basis to calculate their full cost recovery levels, to compare them to the current fee structure, and to recommend adjustments where necessary.
Debt Management – policy sets parameters for when the District will take on debt and with what limitations. Arizona State Statutes governing Fire Districts (Arizona Revised Statute 48-806) limits the total amount of bond indebtedness to six percent of the value of taxable property in the district. In its history, the Sedona Fire District has not pursued bond financing although it may at some point in the future. Other legal debt limitations are not specified for Arizona Fire Districts.
In the past, the District’s general philosophy had been to avoid long-term debt issuances. Over the past several years, however, the Board and Staff have re-evaluated that philosophy and concluded that manageable long-term debt issuance is a valuable tool in achieving some of the District’s strategic goals in regard to capital expansion. Attractive interest rates for borrowing have assisted in allowing debt issuance to be more feasible.
The District will confine long term borrowing to capital improvements or projects that cannot be financed from current revenues and to those capital projects with long useful lives. Using debt financing for these projects provides “intergenerational equity” whereas the actual users of the capital asset assist in the payment of that asset over time. The District will not use long-term debt to fund current operations and will first attempt “pay as you go” financing and/or the use of operating funds when applicable. If the District attempts to fund capital projects using debt financing, it will pay back the debt within a period not to exceed the useful life of the project/asset.
Current outstanding obligations consist of $380,503 in single investor Bank Financing Agreement with a maturity date of December 2013. This adopted budget identifies $380,503 in principal and interest payments for the aforementioned obligations, as the governing body has elected to appropriate the entirety of the balance to pay off the obligation early in FY2012. It is expected that short-term borrowing in the form of registered warrants (on the county treasurer) to meet cash flow from July through November will not be needed for the 2011/2012 fiscal year, due to a sufficient beginning fund balance that will meet operating requirements.
Because the Sedona Fire District has not yet pursued bond financing and has not yet been evaluated by independent bond rating agencies. Its development and adoption of financial policies will help position the organization to achieve a favorable rating when the time comes to pursue this option and subsequently be evaluated.
Accounting, Auditing, and Financial Reporting – policy dictates the system of internal accounting and internal and external financial reporting that will be adhered to as the District conducts its
14 of 125
financial transactions. The District will comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in its accounting and financial reporting, as contained in the following publications:
Governmental Accounting, Auditing, and Financial Reporting (GAAFR), issued by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) of the United States and Canada. Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards, issued by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). Pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, (FASB). Audits of State and Local Governmental Units, an industry audit guide published by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
Monthly financial reports will be provided for all divisions/sections summarizing financial activity comparing actual revenues and expenditures with budgeted amounts. A system of internal accounting controls and procedures will be maintained to provide reasonable assurance of the safeguarding of assets and proper recording of financial transactions. A comprehensive financial audit, including an audit of federal grants according to the Single Audit Act and the OMB Circular A-133, will be performed annually by an independent public accounting firm, with the objective of expressing an opinion on the District’s financial statements.
Cash Management and Investing - The District has not adopted an Investment Policy, as Yavapai County (its parent government) serves as the District’s fiduciary agent, and is responsible for its cash management. The Counties of Yavapai and Coconino collect real property taxes on behalf of the District and the District recognizes tax receipts after notification by the Yavapai County Treasurer. Coconino County receipts are forwarded to Yavapai County. Property tax revenue is deposited by the Yavapai County Treasurer and invested in a pooled account called the Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP). The District transfers funds as needed to the District’s checking account. The District also participates in ACH and check fraud protection, utilizing Positive Pay and ACH Fraud Alert with its financial institutions.
Capital Expenditures (Fixed Assets) - The District has a policy of capitalizing all assets greater than $5,000. Termed as “fixed assets,” these capital expenditures are purchased departmentally out of the capital outlay accounts in the General Fund and the Capital Fund. Typically fixed assets are replacement items as well as new capital items to provide fire department personnel with the tools they need to operate in the most efficient and productive manner. All assets are depreciated utilizing the straight-line method and based on useful lives the District has established, with a minimum life of three years. Fixed asset purchases are reviewed annually based on need and in correlation with the Strategic Planning Session, Apparatus Replacement Schedule, and 10-year Financial Plan.

Budget Process
The Sedona Fire District budget process hinges on a wide range of participants, including our citizens; governing board; the Fire Chief, executive team, and management staff; labor associations; partner agencies; and other local governmental entities. All play important and complimentary roles.
The annual process begins with a joint governing board/executive management workshop to identify critical priorities for the fiscal year. This is an opportunity for the Board to provide key policy directives and goals for consideration during the FY2012 budget process. Given the tumultuous economy and the assessed valuation reductions in FY2012 and further projected decreases in FY2013, which translate to decreased revenue, the board has directed staff to present a budget that maintains core services but that excludes any “frills.” During the FY2012 process, it was emphasized to section managers that the expectation was that staff and employees would be expected to do more with less.
16 of 125
The Finance Section then initiates an annual “budget kickoff” and prepares a budget letter including various instructions and guidelines for managers to use in the preparation of base and supplemental budget requests, as well as information setting various timelines and deadlines for submitting budget requests. Individual sections develop their budgets at the line-item level with input from employees within their respective sections; and the executive team, Finance Manager, and section managers meet, review, and if necessary modify each proposed line-item. During this process, the Finance Section is also preparing its Five Year Forecasts for revenue and expenditures in the General Fund.
Four budget workshops were held with the governing board, staff, citizens, and other stakeholders to do a more detailed review of recommended line-item expenditures and proposed capital outlay expenditures.
Once final changes are integrated into the tentative budget documents, prior to adoption, the proposed budget must also be transmitted to the general public in the form of a public notice in the local newspaper, and posted in three other public locations at least thirty days prior to the public meeting at which the formal adoption of the budget will take place (this is a requirement set by the State of Arizona through Arizona Revised Statute 48-805 A.2). After completing the public budget hearings, and required publishing, the Board adopts a final budget and tax levy consistent with State law. The adoption of the budget sets the maximum appropriation for the fiscal year. Once published, the budget may be reduced, but cannot be increased. For the FY2012 Budget Year process, five public budget hearings/workshops were held between Feb and June 2011. As depicted in the following calendar, the FY2012 final budget was adopted on June 22, 2011.

Subsequent amendments to the operating budget which do not increase the bottom line appropriation for the overall operating budget can be processed administratively with the authorization of the Fire Chief. The Fire Chief may also approve contingency allocations under $25,000. The use of contingency funding in an amount greater than $25,000 must be approved by the governing body. The governing body must also approve any amendments to the Capital budget that result in an increase to the project level appropriation. General Fund savings from one budget year to the next, in excess of fund balance requirements, by Board policy, are transferred to the Capital Fund and kept in reserve for future capital outlay projects.

Sedona Fire District Non Financial Goals and Objectives
Financial policies are essential to the effective fiscal management of the organization, but they must be coupled with strategic, long-term non-financial planning processes in order to support an effective organization. The Sedona Fire District uses a strategic planning process to update its goals and objectives annually in conjunction with the annual Budget Process. The goals and objectives set forth in the Strategic Plan set the framework for prioritization of budget requests and the overall allocation of resources. The Strategic Plan is developed collaboratively through participation and input from the governing body, executive staff, management staff, employee representatives, and the public. Progress towards planned goals is evaluated at least annually during the update process and external factors such as the national or regional economy, demographic changes, statutory changes, legislation, and mandates, are all considered when setting new goals and objectives. The following are the major goals and objectives set forth in the current Strategic Plan:
1. Enhance our capacity to provide emergent and non-emergent services to meet future
needs. 2. Maintain efficient and effective emergent and non-emergent services. 3. Improve relationships and partnerships with public and private entities. 4. Ensure public confidence and trust in Sedona Fire District. 5. Educate our community on emergent and non-emergent service delivery.
Strategy #1: Maintain efficient and effective emergency and non-emergency services.
Goals and Accompanying Benchmarks: • Build system to evaluate, analyze, review, and utilize data.

Budget Summary
This budget summary presents an overview of the District’s costs for providing services and the resources being used to pay for those costs. Many factors were considered when preparing this financial plan. Some of these factors include the anticipated future reduction in property revenues due to declines in the housing market, changes in management/leadership within the organization, as well as changes in the governing board and its philosophies as they relate to District operations. Overall, the FY2012 budget seeks to sustain core services, but does not support service level expansions or organizational growth; in fact, the FY2012 budget eliminated three additional positions over 2011 authorized levels and commits to hold at least two of the remaining 107 authorized positions vacant through FY2012. The budget also significantly reduces or eliminates anything considered “discretionary” spending. These reductions allow the organization to present a balanced budget even with a 20.17% reduction to the Fiscal Year 2012 total District assessed valuation. The chart below outlines the financial plan for FY 2012. The total sources are estimated at $13.28 million and total uses are estimated at $13.28 million, which includes a contingency of $2 million. At this point, the District is positioned to sustain fund balances at or above stated reserve requirements.
The Sedona Fire District Fiscal Year 2012 annual budget appropriation totals $13,280,171 which is a decrease from FY2011 of 3.6%. The Operating Budget will total an estimated $11,919,668. Budgeting will be done on a modified accrual basis, which is the same basis of accounting used by the District. The modified accrual basis of accounting is such that expenditures are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred and revenues are recorded when measurable and available.

Revenues
The FY2012 estimated revenues total $13.28 million, which represents a 3.6% decrease from FY2011 budgeted revenues. Projected revenues are realized primarily from property tax collections, however, SFD augments its tax revenues with non-tax based sources such as ambulance transport billings, regional communications services, and other fees for service. While the District will reduce property taxes by 19%, it is projecting an increase in non-tax sources of revenue by 6.6% in FY2012.
As a result of recent housing market declines and general economic down-turn, the FY2012 property valuation is projected to decrease by approximately nineteen percent. SFD maintained the property tax levy at $1.40 per $100 of secondary assessed valuation, which will result in an overall decrease in tax revenue of $2.1 million. All of this shortfall will be made up using reserve funds. The non-tax based revenue sources for FY2011 are estimated to increase from $2.13 to $2.27 million.
Expenditures The budget is comprised of three major segments. The operating budget totals $11.52 million (86.7% of the total). Approximately $1.3 million is allocated for Board contingency for their special uses, and $400k (3%) is set aside for operating contingency. The District’s planned capital improvements for the fiscal year total $80,000, which accounts for 0.6% of the total FY 2012 budget. Not only was no new funding for programs, services, or positions incorporated into the FY2012 budget, but reductions were made to the 2012 Operating expenditures wherever possible.
The budget was presented to the Governing Board for adoption on June 22, 2011. The adoption of the budget sets the maximum appropriation for the fiscal year. Prior to adoption, the proposed budget was transmitted to the general public in the form of a public notice in the local newspaper, the Red Rock News. Once published, the budget

may be reduced, but cannot be increased. Seven public budget hearings and/or workshops were held between January and June 2011.
Special Revenue Fund
Dispatching services are provided to Black Canyon City, Camp Verde Fire District, Clarkdale Fire Department, Jerome Fire Department, Mayer Fire District, Montezuma/Rimrock Fire District, Pinewood Fire Department, Verde Valley Ambulance, and Verde Valley Fire District. The FY2012 revenue included in this fund ($394,000) pays for 100% of the operating expenses required that are above and beyond the operating expenses required to dispatch for Sedona only, i.e. the additional staffing and other operational expenses to cover the additional work generated by the user agencies. There are 5.5 full-time positions paid for out of Special Revenue for the Regional Communications Center. These positions include four communication specialists, one communications specialist supervisor, and a half time radio technician. In the Special Revenue Fund, budget uses always equal budget sources. Other Special Revenue Budget items may include actual costs for out-of-district wildland assignments for which the Arizona State Land Department provides full cost reimbursement, and/or grant projects.

Sedona Fire District 2011-2012 Funds Overview
The budget of the District is organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. Fund balance is generally defined as the difference between a fund’s assets and liabilities. The operations of each fund are accounted for by providing a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures, or expenses, as appropriate. The funds for the Sedona Fire District are as follows: General Fund, Capital Projects Fund, and Special Revenue Fund. The General Fund and Capital Projects Fund are the only funds which are appropriated. The District reports each of these funds as major governmental funds in its financial statements.
Fund balance is an important indicator of the District’s financial position. Adequate fund balances must be maintained to allow the District to continue providing services to the community in case of economic downturns and/or unexpected emergencies or requirements, to provide cash for operations prior to receipt of property tax revenues, to maximize investment earnings, and to maintain or enhance the District’s financial position. Per Governing Board policy, fund balance reserves for the General Fund shall be maintained at 15% of the total General Fund budget for the fiscal year. Appropriation of a minimum contingency will also be included in the operating budget to provide for emergencies. The collective ending fund balance in the General Fund is projected at $2 million. The General Fund is the only fund for which fund balance requirements have been established, again, to provide the District with sufficient working capital and a comfortable margin of safety to address emergencies and unexpected declines in revenue without borrowing to pay for basic operations. The Capital Reserve Fund is projected to have an ending balance of $1 million, although there are no policy requirements to retain Capital Fund balances.
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. Measurement focus is commonly used to describe the types of transactions that are reported in a fund’s operating statement. All government funds are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. The District considers all revenues reported in the governmental funds to be available if the revenues are collected within 60 days after year-end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on general long-term debt, claims and judgments, and compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they are due and payable. Only current assets and liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements present increases (revenue) and decreases (expenditures) in net current assets.

General Fund – The General Fund pays for the District’s primary, ongoing, operational expenses. It accounts for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in other funds. This fund is used to support operations. Each year, the District identifies any one-time, nonrecurring revenues from this fund that may be used to support capital needs. All expenditures in this fund are appropriated and bound to adopted thresholds. The end of fiscal year fund balance is projected to be at $2,000,000 which is approximately 15% of the projected fiscal year General Fund budget, and it is at the acceptable level according to the Board’s policy of maintaining an operating fund balance of no less than 15% of the fiscal year budget.
Capital Projects – The Capital Projects Fund pays for the acquisition and construction of capital facilities, equipment and infrastructure. The primary funding sources include any one-time, nonrecurring revenue from the General Fund, as well as bond and/or loan proceeds. The 2011 end of fiscal year fund balance was $5.37 million based on prior years' tax collections for the future construction of a new Fire Station in the Chapel area of the District, and several years of underspending appropriations and "sweeping" operating and capital budget savings into this reserve fund. The governing body chose to use $2.5 million from this fund to reduce FY2012 taxes and still balance the FY2012 budget. This means that the District will no longer have the ability to fund the Chapel Fire Station project through a “pay-as-you-go” program without borrowing. In light of utilizing capital reserves for the new budget year, the fund balance is projected to be $2.9 million by June 30, 2012.
Special Revenue – The Special Revenue Fund accounts for the proceeds of specific revenue sources restricted to expenditures for specific purposes. This fund includes the Regional Communications User Group Revenue, Non-District Fire Revenue, as well as Grant proceeds. There is no fund balance requirement for special revenues and there are no changes anticipated in fund balance for the special revenue funds. Annual revenues should equal annual expenditures in this fund.

2011-2012 Revenue Analysis
Total General Fund and Capital Projects Fund revenues for Fiscal Year 2011 are estimated at $13,280,171. The revenue forecasts are based on historical data, trend analyses, assumptions on population changes, economic projections, and property valuation estimates from both Yavapai and Coconino Counties in order to project expected receipts from taxes. All major revenue sources and fund types are identified and reviewed for activity and variances throughout the fiscal year. District revenue estimates are continually updated based on this discussion and analysis, which results in more accurate revenue forecasting. The District forecasts each category of revenue for a five year period; the full five year revenue forecast by category is included later in this section.
The following table details revenue history by major category. The largest source of District revenue is property tax. The District has also been very aggressive in pursuing non-tax based sources of revenue such as ambulance transport/insurance billing revenue, telecommunications rent revenue, and fees for service for the provision of dispatch and telecommunications services to other regional agencies by SFD. A further narrative discussion related to each category of revenue is also provided.

Revenue projections are the foundation of the budget process and are developed early in the process to provide parameters within which base budgets and new requests are evaluated. The assumptions used in this year’s revenue projections include:
28 of 125
Ambulance billing rates should increase slightly based on regular Arizona Department of Health Services automatic inflationary increases to rates to all Arizona ambulance providers. This combined with call volume increases should increase overall ambulance billing revenue slightly, as has been the trend over the last several years.
Assessed valuation will decline an overall 19.46% over 2010-2011 values, as a result of the assessments catching up to the market value declines experienced approximately 18-24 months ago. It is also assumed that assessed valuation will further decrease by approximately 10% in Fiscal Year 2013 which is why the current year operating budget has been reduced by another $1.2 million, above and beyond the previous years’ $1 million reduction. Because of these reductions, operations should be sustainable into the 2012 fiscal year at current budget levels, requiring no overall increase to property taxes.
Property Tax – The tax rate is set each June by the Sedona Fire District Governing Board based on the recommendation of the Fire Chief and staff. The maximum tax rate allowed is $3.25 per $100 secondary assessed value; for FY2009, SFD’s tax rate was $1.65 per $100 secondary assessed valuation; for FY2010 SFD reduced the tax rate 10 cents, to $1.55 per $100 secondary assessed valuation; and for FY2011 the tax rate was further reduced to $1.40. Sedona Fire District boundaries fall into two separate counties, Yavapai and Coconino. Yavapai County Assessed Valuation for FY2011 was $541,450,820 and Coconino County Assessed Valuation for FY2011 was $184,635,961. Yavapai County Assessed Valuation for FY2012 decreased to $422,645,837 and Coconino County Assessed Valuation for FY2012 decreased to $156,983,061, an aggregated decrease of 19.4%. Real property, which includes commercial and industrial property, is assessed at 20% of full cash value; residential is assessed at 10% of full cash value, and vacant land is assessed at 16% of full cash value.
Fire District Assistance Tax – Per Arizona Revised Statute 48-807.A each property owner in the State of Arizona will pay a Fire District Assistance Tax. The board of supervisors of each county in Arizona shall levy a county fire district assistance tax on the taxable property in the county of not more than ten cents per one hundred dollars of assessed valuation. The FDAT is a levy of secondary property taxes and is limited by statute to $0.10 per $100 of assessed valuation levied on all of the taxable property in the county. The FDAT levy for Sedona Fire District was set to a fixed $392,001 of revenue after the merger of the Sedona Red Rock and Sedona Oak Creek Fire Districts in November 1993. This amount is contributed annually to the operating budget.
Ambulance Billing – Ambulance transportation services are provided by Sedona Fire District. Rates for ambulance service are approved by the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS). The current fee for a Sedona Fire District ambulance transport is $1,200.38 and 18.18 per mile.

Property owners within the District are not charged any out of pocket costs for this service (health insurance may be billed). 2011/2012 revenues are projected at $1.50 million.
Dispatching Services – The Sedona Fire District maintains contracts with 10 other agencies to charge those agencies for the provision of dispatching services. Current cost recovery is at 35% of the total SFD operating budget portion of communication center costs, for a total of $287,020 annually. Users pay 100% of the special revenue portion of the communications center costs.
Telecommunication Services - The Sedona Fire District maintains contracts with several other agencies to charge those agencies for the provision of telecommunication services. More than one full time telecommunications technician position is paid for by these user agencies.
Communication Rents – Leases of telecommunication towers to private sector providers.
Alltel Wireless $31,596
Cingular Wireless $17,080
CommSpeed $12,317
Sedona Internet $12,727
Sprint $35,526
Verizon $33,446
Non-District Fire Revenues - Based on an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Arizona State Land Department, Sedona Fire District apparatus and personnel may be deployed to other areas of the state or country to assist with combating wildfires. SFD is reimbursed dollar for dollar for all personnel costs and generates revenue for the use of apparatus and equipment. SFD is expecting to generate an estimated $35,000 in 2011-2012 to offset operating expenses.
Interest Earnings – Interest earned on General Fund contingency reserves and fund balance – paid through participation in the Local Government Investment Pool.
Fees for Service – Includes CPR class revenue, and Community Risk Management plan review fees.
Other General Fund Revenue – Includes sale of surplus property, donations, worker’s compensation dividends, and other miscellaneous sources.
While tax based revenue is contingent upon the governing boards' setting of the tax levy, non-tax sources of revenue should continue to increase and the District will attempt to vigorously pursue the maximization of alternative “non-tax” funding sources to alleviate as much of the tax burden as possible on District residents and property owners.

SEDONA FIRE DISTRICT Fiscal Year 2012 - 2016
Capital Improvement Program
Capital Budget/Capital Improvement Program
A Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a comprehensive plan of proposed capital projects, intended to identify and balance capital needs within the fiscal capabilities and limitations of the District. The purpose of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is to systematically identify, plan, schedule, finance, track and monitor capital projects to ensure cost-effectiveness as well as conformance to establish policies. Most capital outlay in excess of $35,000 is included in the Capital Improvement Program, rather than the operating budget.
The first year of the CIP Program is the basis for actual appropriations authorized by the Governing Board for capital projects when adopting the Annual Budget. The remaining four years are a guide for the future development of the District’s new and replacement infrastructure needs. The overall CIP schedule is formulated to reflect District priorities and needs, by taking into consideration the District’s goals and policies, strategic plan, urgency of a project, the District’s ability to administer a project, the involvement of outside agencies, and the potential for future project funding and ongoing operational requirements.
A majority of the funding source for the capital program comes from the General Fund, however, projects could be simultaneously funded from general operating funds, loan proceeds, grants, intergovernmental funding, and/or bond funds. Much of the work involved in the development of the CIP consists of balancing the available sources of financing with the various capital needs.
The objectives used to develop the CIP include:
o To preserve and improve the basic infrastructure of the Sedona Fire District through public facility construction and rehabilitation.
o To maximize the useful life of capital investments by scheduling renovations and modifications at the appropriate time in the life-cycle of the facility.
o To identify and examine current and future infrastructure needs and establish priorities among projects so that available resources are used to the community’s best advantage.
114 of 125
o To improve the financial planning by comparing needs with resources, estimating future needs, and identifying fiscal implications.
Capital projects:
o Are defined as activities that lead to the acquisition, construction, or extension of the useful life of capital assets.
o Are considered to be one-time outlay, which are non-recurring in nature. Purchases involving ongoing debt service or lease/purchase costs will not typically be budgeted in the Capital Budget.
o Must have a total cost greater than $35,000 and a useful life of more than five years. o Capital projects must add to, enhance the value of, or extend the life of the District’s
physical assets.
The Fiscal Year 2012 – 2016 Capital Improvement Program provides an implementation schedule for each of the capital improvements that provides for the coordination and timing of project construction/acquisition amongst other competing needs, an estimate of each project’s costs, anticipated sources of revenue for financing the project, and an estimate of the impact of each project on District revenues and operating budgets.
Operating impact information has been forecasted for a period of five years from scheduled date of the capital improvement project. No capital project has been funded unless operating impacts have been assessed and the necessary funds can be reasonably anticipated to be available when needed.
District management has reviewed each project submitted for inclusion into the CIP for its merit and relationship to overall District needs. The Governing Board conducts a final review of the program at public budget workshops, and at annual public budget hearings prior to adoption of the Annual Budget.
The Fiscal Year 2012 capital plan attempts to meet the highest priority needs of the community. It is both financially feasible and can be accomplished within the suggested time frame. The Capital Plan will have to be continually re-evaluated in the future to insure that it is consistent with the priorities of the District Board, with sound financial practices, and the available resources of the District. The major items of the five year 2012-2016 Capital Improvement Plan are detailed in the below table. The first year of the CIP is included in the current fiscal year budget and totals $680,000.

Replacement of Ambulances
Project No: Total Project Costs: $300,000
Project Title: Replace Two Ambulances
Funding Source: General Fund Pay-as-You-Go
Description: The next ambulance needing to be replaced has approximately 145,000 miles, is requiring more and more maintenance and repair, and was initially scheduled to be replaced through the normal ambulance replacement program/cycle in 2009-2010. Due to an unavailability of funding, this purchase was delayed until 2010-2011, then 11-12, 12-13 and now 13-14. The next oldest ambulance has 77,000 miles and is requested to be replaced in FY14. Once these last two non-remountable units are replaced, the Sedona Fire District will pursue an Ambulance Remount program for future replacements, which is designed to replace the Ambulance Chassis, re-paint and repair the ambulance interior as needed. The ambulance will appear brand new when completed. The cost is between 80% of a new vehicle depending on how much needs to be fixed.

Description: Continued growth in call volume and dispatch agreements with surrounding agencies necessitates a new facility to support this activity. The land for the new center is already owned by the District. Design was partially completed in FY2009 but terminated due to financial considerations. Funding for this project is not available at this time, and estimated costs are therefore only listed in the “out years” of the capital program. No additional personnel/operating impacts are anticipated. Costs may be able to be shared regionally, however, SFD would remain the sole owner of this capital asset.

Description: The Alpha paging system is the primary notification for the first responders. The current system is a simulcast multiple transmit site wide area system. It provides complete district coverage with overlap coverage to allow for the event of a single transmitter failure. The system is controlled by a paging terminal which is end of life by the manufacturer; although still supported the manufacture will discontinue support within the next few years. By replacing the current terminal SFD will be proactive in the replacement of critical system equipment. Other user agencies will participate in the replacement cost.

Description: Engine-511 was replaced in 2002. It is being recommended to be replaced at the twelve-year mark. This would permit this vehicle to remain in the fleet as a reserve pumper, possibly enabling SFD to recapture some value from the 2001 pumper (previous E-541) that would be a reserve unit at that point. The cost estimate includes radios, necessary replacement equipment, lettering, sales tax, and delivery. Engine-541 was replaced in 2001. Due to higher usage and mileage this vehicle is recommended to be replaced at the ten-year mark. This
119 of 125
would permit this vehicle to remain in the fleet as a reserve pumper, and the current 1991 reserve engine would be sold off. The cost estimate includes radios, necessary replacement equipment, lettering, sales tax, and delivery.

Station #5 – Oak Creek Canyon
Project No: Total Project Costs: $2,850,000
Project Title: Station #5
Funding Source: UNFUNDED
Description: If property can be secured at Slide Rock State Park (under some form of lease-type arrangement) or at another desirable location, then it will be prudent to build a new fire station and abandon the existing facility at Indian Gardens. This project timeline for this project will weigh heavily on available capital/lending options and when access to a site is finally secured. This project was actually given higher priority by the Sedona Citizens Capital Strategic Planning Task Force than the Regional Communications Center, which design work has been started on, simply because property for the Canyon station had not been secured. If property is secured, then likely the Regional Communications Center would be pushed further out on the timeline. Funding has not been identified within the current Five Year CIP.

Description: FCC frequency re-alignment and possible consultant costs. The narrow-banding is a Federal mandate which is currently due by January 2013. Because this is an unfunded federal mandate, and so many agencies are underfunded for other critical needs, grant funding has begun to materialize. SFD will pursue grant funding first and foremost for this project.

Replacement Generator Station 1
Project No: Total Project Costs: $50,000
Project Title: Microwave Upgrade
Funding Source: Grant Funding
Description: This project will replace the generator at Fire Station 1/SFD Administrative Offices. The generator was recently needed to provide electricity during a pre-scheduled power outage. It failed three times in less than three hours. The existing generator was put in place during phase 1 or 2 of the construction of the building and was not upgraded upon expansion of the facilities. It is not sufficient to cover the electrical load of the building as it currently sits today. The peak load over the last 12 months for station 1 was 84 KW. The service entrance is 1000 AMPs. This project would make sure the existing switch is rated at 1000 AMPs and replace the existing generator with one rated 20% over the peak load. The replacement would likely be a 150 KW unit.

Current outstanding obligations consist $380,503 in single investor Bank Financing Agreement with a maturity date of December 2013. This adopted budget identifies $380,503 in principal and interest payments for the before mentioned obligations, as the Governing body has decided to pay off the entirety of the outstanding debt in FY2012. It is expected that short-term borrowing in the form of registered warrants (on the county treasurer) to meet cash flow from July through November will not be needed for the 2011/2012 fiscal year, due to a sufficient beginning fund balance that will meet operating requirements.
