BUDGET MESSAGE Focusing on the Future

May 17, 2012

To the residents of the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District, the Board of Trustees and elected officials:

Focusing on the Future

We are pleased to present the Adopted Budget for the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District for Fiscal Year July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013. The Adopted Budget represents the third consecutive year of drops in overall tax revenues, which have resulted in a tougher budget strategy as compared to previous years. The District’s revenue is projected at $58,121,000, a 2.4% decrease from the previous fiscal year. This decrease reflects the national and regional recessions and the associated impact on property values and consumer and business confidence. Property tax and the Consolidated Sales Tax (CTX) comprise 63% and 28% respectively of the District’s overall revenue. Property taxes decreased approximately 7.7% due primarily to negative growth in the assessed values for residential and commercial properties. The CTX is projected to increase approximately 7.9% over the prior fiscal year, due to increased levels in consumer spending. Overall, this budget reflects a net decrease in expenditures of $1,384,490 (2.08%) as compared to prior year appropriations. The decrease overall is due to the decreased spending in the Debt Service Fund, reflecting the paid off balances of two of the District’s bond debts. These reductions are offset somewhat by the increased expenditures in the General Fund to meet increased service level requirements, and increases in the Capital Projects Fund for replacing the Management Information Systems for both the Human Resources Department and the Business Office, for building maintenance and repairs, and for the replacement of four fleet vehicles. Other increases are due to the expected increase in grant funding during the year. Revenues and operating expenditures will be monitored closely during the fiscal year to ensure that expenditures are consistent with actual revenue collections, with adjustments made as necessary. Proactive Budget Planning and Management Over the last decade, the District has demonstrated a consistent practice of prudent budget development, expenditure management, and long-range planning. Since 2004, the District has created and allocated initial funding for six capital project programs included in the Capital Projects Fund, by transferring a portion of annual operating revenue for ongoing and future capital projects. The programs’ objectives are to fund the Integrated Library Systems (ILS) Replacement Program for implementation of enterprise-integrated library systems and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology; to maintain, and periodically upgrade and replace, the District’s technology infrastructure including PCs and networked equipment and software through the Technology Replacements and Upgrades Program; to fund major and emergency maintenance and repairs to the District’s aging buildings and infrastructure through the Building Repair and Maintenance Program; to accumulate

3

funding for purchase of new library materials for future library branches and, through the Capital Construction Program, to accumulate resources for critical construction of new libraries, branch improvement projects, and necessary capital development that cannot be funded from more limited annual operating budgets. A sixth new program created for the FY 2012-2013 budget called “Vehicle Purchase and Replacement,” was created to account for accumulation of resources for the replacement and purchase of new vehicles. With higher than expected ending fund balances in both the General Fund and the Capital Projects Fund, the District plans to transfer $17.5 million of General Fund reserves and $29.3 million of accumulated Capital Projects Fund reserves into an internally held reserve fund to prefund debt services costs on existing general obligation bonds. Following the transfers, the District will have accumulated sufficient cash to pay off the remaining outstanding debt through the year 2018. Faced with dropping revenue projections, the District realized, over two fiscal years ago, it could no longer sustain the level of operation experienced during the previous ten years. To provide the District with a sustainable budget for the coming and subsequent fiscal years, permanent cuts to the District’s budget of approximately $5 million had to be realized. The cuts included the elimination of 96 positions, reduced expenditures on library materials, a reduction in urban branch hours from 72 per week to 60 per week, a reduction in the number of library-sponsored programs, and major shifts in library operations and a restructuring of library functions. In FY 2012-2013 cost containment efforts continue through a close examination of Services and Supplies expenditures, renegotiation and rethinking of vendor contracts and service levels, repairing and “making do” rather than buying new, judiciously selecting critical capital improvements, and, through concessions negotiated with Teamsters 14, the union that represents District employees, freezing salaries and rolling back health insurance costs to 2009 levels. In order to provide the level of meeting room and Performing Arts Center services the community desires, the District will continue to analyze usage, staffing, and support levels for these services. During the course of the fiscal year, library services and staffing levels will be re-examined and fine-tuned to meet library user demand within available resources. Because of these efforts, the District is able to maintain its long-standing commitment to seven-day-a- week services at its urban branches (important in a community with a 24/7, service-based economy), preserve hours in the outlying branches serving small city and rural communities in Clark County, provide quality children’s services and programming, retain its commitment to spend 15% of its operating budget on library materials, and maintain at least a $6.5 million ending fund balance. Challenges and Successes The major challenges facing the District during the next fiscal year include the continued uncertainty regarding how quickly and to what extent Southern Nevada will recover from the recession. After decades of phenomenal growth, Clark County saw its vibrant economy fall into unprecedented decline beginning in 2008. The resultant job losses, housing defaults, bankruptcies, and business failures have had direct impact on the District because of its heavy reliance on the property tax (63% of the total budget and 66% of the General Fund/Operating budget). At the same time, because of the decline in the economy, demands for services have increased, as residents look to the library as a source for reading, listening and viewing, a resource for job hunting, a source of free computers and Internet access, and as a safe and quiet haven to read, study, attend a program, or just get out of a crowded apartment. While there are glimmers of hope beginning to emerge, the future is still very uncertain and declines in property tax revenues continue to be projected for the next several years.

4

To meet these challenges, the District has worked hard to contain and manage expenditures, as well as focus services to meet the demands generated by the current economic environment. A new strategic planning process began in FY 2011-2012. The strategic framework derived from this process will be fleshed out during the first half of FY 2012-2013, with implementation taking place throughout the fiscal year. This new strategic framework has been constructed with input from community members and a broad swath of line staff and library managers. Although not completed at this writing, the new framework, tentatively titled Read Learn Connect, builds on the service priorities of Forward to Basics: LVCCLD Core Services and earlier strategic plans. It is a streamlined, focused planning document that is designed to reflect current community needs for collections, services and programs within the economic, demographic and social environments the District serves. Despite the addition of a few public service positions to meet service demands (usage statistics are trending up), staff continues to be spread thinly. Tight staffing and maintaining a disciplined focus on service priorities pose additional challenges: it can mean having to say “no” more often in response to service requests. At the same time that it has dealt with these challenges, the District also had a number of successes during FY 2011-2012:

• The District continued as a top-tier library system, competitive nationally as a well-used library: of the top 15 American libraries that serve over one million people, LVCCLD ranks second in materials expended per registered borrower and third in circulation per registered borrower and circulation per capita. Over 6.7 million people visited District libraries in FY 2011-2012.

• Work began on the expansion and remodeling of the Mesquite Library, doubling the size of the building, adding much needed public computers, a meeting room, and expanded library materials collections for children, teens and adults. The expanded library opened to the public at the very beginning of FY 2012-2013, on July 16, 2012.

• Communication with library cardholders and the community was extended by the adoption of social media tools (Facebook and Twitter) and the introduction of an electronic newsletter.

• Library managers and staff members began using Community Connect, a tool which provides customer segmentation, demographic and library usage data to more accurately match community needs and interests with library collections and services. The District also made training and access to this powerful tool available to community partners and collaborators.

• The District began its fourth cycle of strategic planning by working with District employees and community members to identify community challenges, potential partnership opportunities for the District, and top priorities that the District is in a position to address, on its own or in partnership with other organizations or jurisdictions.

• The newly formed Library Council, made up of District librarians representative of branches and system-wide services, identified and went to work on several projects, including increasing the number of public PCs available in branch Young People’s Libraries, the strategic planning process, and improving staff development and customer service training.

Organization of the Budget The organization of the budget document is intended to focus on financial data at a meaningful level of summary and detail while explaining District operations. The budget begins with summaries of each of the District’s funds. The summaries show a historical comparison and budget projections for all revenues and expenditures. The budget document clearly identifies departments and programs within departments. These programs are identified as either public service programs or administrative and support programs. For each department, an overview of the department’s purpose and responsibilities is provided, significant changes are noted, performance measurement success criteria

are briefly explained, and the staffing allocation is provided, as is comparative budget information. For each program, a program description is provided, key performance measures are provided and explained, and detailed expenditure and staffing data are provided. Conclusion FY 2012-2013 will be a year of continuing to refine the District’s focus as the strategic plan framework is fleshed out to ensure that resources are used strategically to meet identified community needs. Acknowledgments The 2012-2013 Adopted Budget reflects the Board of Trustees’ stewardship of public funds and its responsive and progressive oversight of the District’s financial operations. We are grateful to District staff and members of its management teams for their efforts in developing a budget that reflects the needs of their departments and their dedication to our community. A special note of thanks and appreciation is extended to staff of the Business Office and the Marketing and Community Relations Department for excellent performance in gathering, analyzing and presenting information clearly and accurately. Respectfully submitted,

Jeanne Goodrich Frederick J. James, C.P.A. Executive Director Deputy Director/Chief Financial Officer

LAS VEGAS-CLARK COUNTY LIBRARY DISTRICT

Adopted Budget | FY 2013 | District Overview

District Overview

The Las Vegas-Clark County Library District is one of the largest, most complex public library systems in the country. The District serves 1.5 million people over an 8,000-square-mile area. District library users live in urban and suburban sections of the valley, small and medium-sized towns throughout Clark County, and remote rural areas. The District’s libraries are well used. Of the top 15 American libraries that serve over one million people, the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District ranks second in total materials expended per registered borrower and third in circulation per registered borrower and circulation per capita. In fiscal year 2012, nearly 13.4 million items were checked out and over 6.7 million people visited District branches to check out books, listen to a storytime, use public computers, attend a workshop, enjoy a musical performance, hear an author speak, or just read or study in a clean, safe, pleasant place.

The District serves all residents of Clark County except those served by the Henderson District Public Libraries, North Las Vegas Library District and the Boulder City Library District. There is a total of 25 branches in the District. Fourteen are located throughout the Las Vegas Valley and are known as the “urban branches,” including an outreach branch located inside the Stupak Community Center. Eleven are located throughout the rest of Clark County in Blue Diamond, Bunkerville, Goodsprings, Indian Springs, Laughlin, Mesquite, Moapa (Town and Valley), Mt. Charleston, Sandy Valley and Searchlight. These branches are known as the “outlying branches.” Administrative and support functions are located at the Windmill Library and Service Center in the southwestern part of the valley.

The District was created in 1965 when a taxing district to provide library services to serve valley residents outside the Las Vegas city limits was created by the Clark County Board of Commissioners. It was originally named the Greater Clark County Library District, later shortened to the Clark County Library District. The District grew as other taxing districts created to provide library services in other parts of Clark County were added to it. Soon after came a contract with the City of Las Vegas to manage libraries located within the Las Vegas city limits. In 1985 the District took its current form through legislation enacted by the Nevada State Legislature and became known as the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District, the state’s first consolidated library district, and the branches of the Las Vegas Library formally became a part of the District.

Adopted Budget | FY 2013 | District Overview

As an independent taxing district, the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District is neither a part of the city of Las Vegas nor of Clark County. It’s governed by a ten-member Board of Trustees, five who are appointed by the Clark County Board of Commissioners and five who are appointed by the Las Vegas City Council. The Board of Trustees appoints an Executive Director, adopts policy, approves the annual budget and ongoing expenditures, and sets an annual property tax levy. The Board’s roles and responsibilities are enumerated in NRS 379.

BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS

Budget Highlights

Revenues

The 2012-2013 Adopted Budget for all funds amounts to $65,072,344 and is comprised of four major components: General Fund, Capital Projects Fund, Special Revenue Funds and Debt Service Fund.

The General Fund budget finances the day-to-day provision of library services and amounts to $52,084,765. The $3.3 million Capital Projects budget will fund the replacement of computers and network equipment, upgrades and building maintenance and repairs, and vehicle purchases and replacements. The Special Revenue budget accounts for $2 million in expenditures. The Debt Service budget, which amounts to $7.7 million, is dedicated to repaying money borrowed by the District for capital improvements as a result of a bond issue in 2009.

The total 2012-2013 budget for all funds represents a net decrease of $1,384,490 or 2.1% as compared to prior year appropriations. The increase of $834,047 in the Capital Projects Fund is due to the update of the District’s Management and Human Resources Information Systems. The increase of $1.4 million in the General Fund is attributed to needed enhancements in Public Services and Information Technology to meet service demands. The decreased spending of $4 million in the Debt Service Fund is due to tax-supported debt that was paid in full in the prior year.

The District’s revenue is projected at $58,121,000, a 2.4% decrease as compared to 2011-2012. Property tax and the Consolidated Sales Tax (CTX) reflect 91% of the District’s overall revenue sources. Property taxes and the CTX amount to 63% and 28% of all total revenue, respectively. Property taxes decreased by 8% due primarily to negative growth in the assessed values for residential and commercial properties. The CTX increased by 8% from the prior year, due to increased levels in consumer spending, on which this tax is based.

15



Expenditures

Other revenue includes intergovernmental revenue, investment income, library fines and charges for services, and other miscellaneous revenues.

Intergovernmental revenue includes revenue received from state and federal grants. Charges for services include revenue received from the District’s contract libraries.

The General Fund provides a primary complement of services to the residents of the District and includes Public Services, Administration, Information Technology and General Services. The $52,084,765 budget is a 2.77% increase as compared to the 2011-2012 budget and reflects an increase in salaries of approximately 1.3%. Fiscal year priorities identified by the Board are provided for in the General Fund budget. The Adopted Budget appropriation for library materials (books) is $7,804,840, which is 15% of General Fund expenditures. In light of the fact that the District will not likely receive all budgeted revenues as projected for the last fiscal year, General Fund expenditures are allocated to assure that the District can continue to provide its longstanding seven-day-a week operations in urban areas as well as continue to prioritize funding of needed library materials during this period of economic downturn.

One measure of the District’s financial strength is the level of fund balance, i.e., accumulated revenues in excess of expenditures. It is estimated that the District’s unrestricted General Fund balance will amount to $6,571,906, or 12.6% of expenditures, by the end of 2012-2013. This balance is higher than our current 5% to 10% ratio of fund balance to General Fund expenditures which is considered a healthy financial cushion. Due to the current economy, the District has elected to maintain a higher ending fund balance due to the unpredictability of revenue collection, especially for property taxes. Nevertheless, undesignated General Fund reserves are intended to provide sufficient cash flows and offset unanticipated downturns in revenue and to fund capital outlay. In the case of a further significant downturn in the local economy,

16



reserves in the Capital Projects Fund will be used to augment cash flow in the General Fund, if approved by the Board.

The Capital Projects Fund addresses the District’s major needs related to equipment and facilities. The total available funding for the Capital Projects Fund is $8.8 million. Budgeted expenditures for the Fiscal Year 2012-2013 budget are $3.3 million. Only four of the six capital programs will be funded: Technical Replacement and Upgrades, for the incremental replacement and upgrades of computers and network equipment and the replacement of Management and Human Resources Information Systems, $1.5 million; Building Maintenance and Repair, $0.9 million; Capital Construction, $0.8 million; and Vehicle Purchase and Replacement, $0.1 million. The remaining $5.5 million is reserved to cover computer replacements and critical building repairs in future fiscal years.

The Special Revenue Funds account for specific revenue sources such as gifts, donations and grants. Contract library services with the City Misdemeanant Detention Facility and the County Detention Facility are budgeted in the General Fund. The Grant Fund mainly accounts for the federally funded Adult Basic Education literacy program. Additional grants are accounted for in the Grant Fund as they are approved at the state level or received from awarding agencies.

The Debt Service Fund is used to accumulate resources (ad valorem tax) for the payment of principal and interest on general obligation bonds. Debt Service payments amount to $7.7 million in the 2012-2013 fiscal year.

Adopted Budget | FY 2013 | General Fund

Revenue Analysis

General Fund Revenue Analysis The 2012-2013 budget projects General Fund revenue at $55,601,000, a 3.3% decrease as compared to the 2011-2012 budget. Major revenue sources are property tax and Consolidated Sales Tax, which account for 95% of the General Fund’s revenue sources. Other sources of revenue include intergovernmental, charges for services, fines and forfeits, investment income and other miscellaneous revenue.

Property Taxes Property taxes are $36.5 million and represent 66% of General Fund resources. Property tax revenue decreased approximately $3.0 million, or 7.65%, as a result of reassessed property, new residential and commercial construction. The “ad valorem” property tax rate supporting the General Fund is limited by Nevada law and is $.0942 per $100 of assessed valuation, including a temporary cap on property tax increases at 3% for residential owners and 8% for commercial property owners. This is comprised of $.0898 that represents the base rate allowed to support operations and an additional $.0044 as “make-up” operating revenue as allowed pursuant to NRS 354.59813. The District’s property tax is based on the assessed valuation of real and personal property and net proceeds of mines as determined by the Clark County Assessor’s Office and the Nevada Department of Taxation. The assessed valuation is 35% of the actual estimated value of real and personal property in the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District. The District’s assessed valuation for the 2012-2013 fiscal year is $41 billion, a 6% decrease over 2011-2012.

The District’s assessed valuation grew from $33 billion in 2003 to $41 billion in 2012-2013, a 24% increase. The graph depicted at right shows the growth in the District’s assessed valuation over the last ten years.

22



Consolidated Sales Tax The Consolidated Sales Tax (CTX) is State-allocated revenue and is comprised of Basic City-County Relief Taxes, Supplemental City-County Relief Taxes, Cigarette Taxes, Liquor Taxes, the Governmental Services Tax (previously named the Motor Vehicle Privilege Tax) and Real Estate Property Transfer Taxes. A tax distribution implemented in July 1998 allocates the CTX to the District on the basis of assessed valuation and the consumer price index. The formula is designed to distribute future revenue increases to areas in the County receiving the highest percentage increase in growth.

The CTX is the second largest source of revenue in the General Fund, accounting for 29% of total revenue. The CTX is a very sensitive tax source as it is dependent upon the financial health of the local economy. The CTX is estimated at $16.4 million, a 7.9% increase from 2011-2012 levels.

Charges for Services This category reflects payments made to the District from other government agencies. The District provides library services to the city of Las Vegas Misdemeanant Jail Facility and the Clark County Detention Facility. Fees are structured to recover the cost of providing library services to the City and County jail facilities. The District also provides contractual library automation services to Nellis Air Force Base, North Las Vegas Library District and Boulder City Library District.

Charges for Services amounts to approximately $1,125,000 and includes rent from the Lied Discovery Children’s Museum, photocopier revenue and rent from the District’s meeting rooms and theaters. Rent from the Lied Discovery Children’s Museum is anticipated to increase as a result of electric and natural gas rate increases, however, the Museum will be vacating the Las Vegas Library branch sometime during fiscal year 2013.

Fines and Forfeits Fines and fees collected by the District include overdue materials, reserved materials, lost and damaged materials and interlibrary loan fees. The amount budgeted for 2012-2013 is $1,250,000.

Other Financing Sources and Uses

As with any service organization, personnel costs are a significant part of the total operating budget of the District. Controlling growth in staffing levels is an important key to the long-term maintenance of library services. Over 700 employees serve an estimated District population of 1.5 million. Detail on the District’s authorized staffing is provided on page 32. Line item detail for Salaries and Benefits, Services and Supplies, Library Materials and Capital Outlay are provided on pages 27 through 31. A brief narrative description of variances within function, department program and Special Revenue Funds completes the budget document. Transfers to Other Funds The District has initiated a multi-year strategy to establish reserves to fund a comprehensive program for maintenance and repair of District buildings and infrastructure; telecommunication hardware and software systems, including replacing and upgrading personal computers and software; and funding for new construction projects. In fiscal year 2012-2013, a $1.5 million transfer from the General Fund to the Capital Projects Fund serves this purpose.

A $15.9 million transfer is proposed in the fiscal year 2012-2013 budget from the General Fund to the Debt Service Fund to cover debt service requirements for the District’s Medium Term bonds.

Budget Priorities

The Library Materials budget for fiscal year 2012-2013 is funded at $7,804,840. The budget reflects an allocation of 15% of the General Fund budget to materials. New library materials are selected, purchased, cataloged and made shelf-ready by the Collection and Bibliographic Services Department. The Collection Development division of Collection and Bibliographic Services manages the Library Materials budget and selects materials for the entire District. Centralized selection gives the District leverage in purchasing quantities of materials, in a variety of formats and languages, quickly and effectively at the best possible price. While selection is centralized, professional librarians District-wide are actively involved in selection of replacement materials, weeding and identifying collection strengths and weaknesses. Library District materials are considered to be one collection, which is physically and electronically distributed among its branches. Through the floating collections model, library materials will move, over time, among any number of branches. While each branch is provided with a selection of materials that is suited to its size, role in the community, area demographics and expressed interests, the floating collections model allows more customer-focused and responsive collections among the branches. Collection Development seeks to improve collection performance by providing materials most often sought by patrons, and also to provide balance and diversity in content by purchasing materials in a variety of topics, formats and languages. The budget is designed to support the District mission statement and Strategic Plan goals. These goals include literacy for adults, teens and young readers; cultural awareness; lifelong learning; homework help; and reading, viewing and listening for pleasure.

35


Adopted Budget | FY 2013 | Library Materials

Literacy goals are promoted both through the selection of those materials that foster a love of reading and those that provide developmental support. Offering a diverse collection of materials in both print and audio visual formats helps to provide cultural awareness in our communities. The lifelong learning needs of the community are addressed by acquiring materials that support personal and professional growth. The District has identified a focus on jobs, financial and health information. Materials and electronic resources are selected to assist the student with homework assignments both on site and remotely. Library materials that provide enjoyment and enrichment to our community members continue to be a priority. The District will continue to develop its collection in a number of languages. Library materials in Spanish make up about 63% of the international languages circulation. Special attention will be paid to the Spanish language collection, while maintaining support for needs in other languages collected. The District will also be putting more resources into eBooks, downloadable audio books, downloadable music and other electronic formats. There is a growing demand among community members for information in these formats as more and more people have eBook readers, tablets and smartphones, and are eager to use them to read and listen to library-owned titles.

Number and amount of gifts from individuals and corporations indicate the amount of activity devoted to the cultivation and growth of Las Vegas-Clark County Library District Foundation donors. Revenues from used book sales provide significant program support for the Library District, supplementing a wide range of program activities. This measure tracks the growth of the revenues and, subsequently, additional District and Foundation program capacity. The District enjoys a substantial contribution of volunteer efforts which supplement library branch operations and Foundation activities, including used book sales. This indicator will track the growth and use of volunteers to enhance library operations and customer service.

Department Overview

Significant Changes Measuring Success

The Deputy Director/Chief Operating Officer oversees Public Services, which includes all library branches as well as District-wide service operations such as Literacy, Community Outreach, Youth Services, and Collection and Bibliographic Services related to the selection, acquisition, cataloging, processing, and maintenance of the library collection. In addition, Public Services is responsible for operating the Virtual Library, which provides access to digital and electronic services and resources, and overseeing the contract libraries, which provide services to inmates at the city of Las Vegas Misdemeanant Facility and the Clark County Detention Facility.

The District has 13 urban library branches as well as one outreach homework help center and 11 outlying branches serving the rural areas of the county. Public Services Administration is responsible for coordinating the services in all branches to ensure that library services are delivered equitably and in a consistent manner across the District service area.

The 2012-2013 total budget for Public Services is $35,853,192. The Library Materials budget amounts to $7,804,840. The Services and Supplies budget is $3,085,121 and includes appropriations for library supplies, small equipment, equipment maintenance and repair, contracted and professional services, and utilities for all branches and other Public Services programs.

The Public Services department continues to operate under cost reduction and containment measures implemented during FY 2011. In addition, program budgets reflect the wage concessions made by all District employees (there will be no step or cost-of-living increases during the fiscal year).

In FY 2012 District libraries circulated nearly 13.4 million items. This makes the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District (LVCCLD) one of the busiest major public libraries in the country. Of the top 15 American public libraries that serve over one million people, LVCCLD ranks second in total materials expended per registered borrower and third in circulation per registered borrower and circulation per capita. In FY 2012, over 6.7 million people visited District libraries. The reduction of 12 hours a week in service hours in FY 2011 (a 17% reduction) has resulted in a decline of about 8% in both circulation and visits, although the volume of both per hour has increased.

BUILDING REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM

BackgroundThis program was established in fiscal year 2003-2004 and provides funding for major and emergency maintenance and repairs to the District’s buildings and related infrastructure. The majority of the District’s buildings are now between 15 and 25 years old. More than half of the District’s buildings were constructed at about the same time and are aging at the same rate. Therefore, major replacement and repair of building components and systems such as carpeting, roofs, HVAC systems, parking lots, etc. will be required at about the same time. The total available funding is $2.6 million for fiscal year 2012-2013. Appropriations of $855,000 are for replacements and unanticipated emergency repairs. An unexpended balance of $1.7 million will be available for future emergencies, replacements and repairs.

DEBT SERVICE FUND

BackgroundThe Debt Service Fund accounts for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of general obligations. In addition to the operating property tax levy, the District levies a special property tax component for debt service on its general obligation debt. As of June 30, 2012, the District will have one general obligation bond outstanding in the total amount of $44,530,000.

The debt service property tax rate is levied to generate sufficient revenue to pay the fiscal year 2012-2013 budget year's principal and interest, and fund a reserve that equals the maximum annual debt service requirements for the Debt Service Fund. The reserve amount is restricted, pursuant to the Nevada Administrative Code 354.650. The debt service payments for fiscal year 2012-2013 amount to $7.6 million and represent 12% of the District's total budget. The District has no fiscal year 2012-2013 ad valorem debt service tax levies because final debt service payments were made in FY 2011-2012. In fiscal year 2012-2013, the General Fund and Capital Projects Fund will transfer $15.9 million and $29.3 million, respectively, to the Debt Service Fund. These transfers will ensure the availability of sufficient funds to pay off the remaining $44,530,000 of outstanding debt.
