The Ordinances provide that "Defeasrarrce Securities" means (a)direct, nomcallable obligations of the United States of America,including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America,(b)noncaall'able obligations of an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America, incl'udin,g obligations that rare unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the agency or instrumentality and that are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investmentratting firm not less than AAA or its equivalent,(e)nri'ncallttble obligations of a state or an agency or a county, rntamcipaht,y,or other political subdivision of a state that have been refunded and that rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent and(d) any securities and obligations now or hereafter sauthorizeel by Texas law that are eligible to refund,retire or otherwise discharge obligations such as the Obligations.

The issuance of a writ of mandamus may he sought if there is no other available remedy at law to compel performance of the Obligations or the Ordinances and the City's obligations are not micerrairr or disputed. The issuance of a writ of mandamus is controlled by equitable principles, s,) rests with the discretion of the court, but may not be arbitrarily realised. There is no acceleration of maturity of the Obligations in the event of'default and,consequently,the remedy of mandamus may have to be relied upon horn year to year."The Ordinances do not'provide for die appointment of a.trustee to represent lieinterest of the holders of either series of the Obligations upon any failure of the City to perform inr accordance with the terms of the Irdinances, or upon any other condition and accordingly all legal actions to eartforce, such remedies would have to undertaken of the initiative of; and be: financed by, the, registered owners of the Obligations. On lune"it), 20(16,the'Texas Supreme Court ruled in l'ooke r. C'rrt'of A'frr,t'ra, 197 £i.W.3cl :),;r5(Tex.2006) that' ai waiver of sovereign irnntunity in a contractual dispute 'mist be provided for by statute in `clear awl unanrbiguaus"language. Because it is 'unclear whether the, "Texas legislature has effectively waived the City's sovereign immunity from a scan l ar money damages,s, o..gistered owners of tithe' series of the Obligations may not be able, to bring such a suit, against (,.'icy liii breach of the Obligations of covenants contained in either Ordinance, liven if a judgment against the City could be obtained, it could not be enforced by direct levy anu'i execution against the City's property. Further,the registered owners cannot themselves foreclose on property within the City or sell.property wit t'in the City to enforce the tax lien on taxable property to pay the principal of and interest on the ()litigations. Chapter 1371 of the Texas Gnvenuneul Code, which pertains to the issuance of public securities by issuers such its t'hci City, permits the City to waive sovereign inmuunity in the proceedings authorizing its obligations. The City has relied upon Chapter 1.:'71 in connection with the issuance of the Obligations,but the City has not 'waived sovereign imuu,rniry. 'The City is eligible to seek 'chef front its creditors under Chapter 9 ol'the U.S. Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 9"'). Although Chapter 9 provides for the recognition of a security interest represented by a specifically pledged source of revenues,the pledge of ad valorem taxes in support of a general obligation of a bankrupt entity is not specifically recognized as a security interest ruiner Chapter 9, Chapter 9 also includes an automatic stay provision that would prohibit,without Bankruptcy Court approval, the prosecution of any other legal action by creditors or registered owners of the Obligations of an entity which has sought protection under Chapter S).Therefore,should the City avail itself of Chapter 9 protection from creditors, the agility to enforce would be subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court(which could require that the action be heard in Bankruptcy Court instead of other federal or state court'), and the Bankruptcy Code provides for broad discretionary powers of a Bankruptcy Court in acltrurtistering any proceeding brought before it,The opinion of Bond Counsel will note that all opinions relative to the enforceability of the Obligations are qualified with respect to the customary rights of debtors relative to their creditors,principles of sovereign immunity and by general principles of equity which permit the exercise of judicial discretion. TAX INFORMATION An VALOREM TAX LAW "The appraisal of property within the City is the responsibility of the Brazos Central Appraisal District(the"Appraisal District"). Excluding agricultural and open-space land, which may be taxed on the basis of productive capacity,the Appraisal District is required under Title Texas Tax Code(referred to herein as the"Property Tax Code")to appraise all property within the Appraisal District on the basis of 100% of its marked value and is prohibited from applying any assessment ratios. In determining the market value of property,different methods of appraisal may be used, including the cost method of'appraisal, the income method of appraisal and the market data comparison method of appraisal,and the method considered most appropriate by the chief appraiser is to be used.State law further limits the appraised value of a residence homestead for a tax year to an amount not to exceed the lesser of(1)the property's market value in the most recent tax year in which the market value was determined by the Appraisal District or (2) the sum of(a) Il:)f9r'i, of the property's appraised value for the preceding tax,year,(b) the appraised value of the property for the preceding tax year and(e)the market value of all new improvements to the property. "The value placed upon property within the Appraisal District is subject to review by an Appraisal Review Board,consisting of three members appointed by the Board of Directors of the Appraisal District. The Appraisal District is required to review the value of property within the Appraisal District at least every three years. The City may require annual review at its own expense,and is entitled to challenge the determination of appraised value of property within the City by petition filed with the Appraisal Review Board. Reference is made to the Property Tax Code, for identification of property subject to taxation; property exempt or which may be exempted from taxation, if claimed; the appraisal of property for ad valorem taxation purposes; and the procedures and limitations applicable to the levy and collection of"ad valorem taxes. Article VIll of the State Constitution (''Article VI11") and State law provide for certain exemptions front property taxes, the valuation of agricultural and open-space(ands at productivity value,and the exemption of certain personal property from ad valorem taxation. 6 Under Section I-1.),Article VITT,and Suite law,the governing body of a political subdivision,at its option,inay grant: (I)An exemption of not less Ibait S3.,000 of the Marko value of the residence homestead of persons u5 years of age or older;(2)An exemption to die disabled Iron) ill id valorem taxes thereafter levied by the political subdivisioie and(3')Au exemption of up to of the market value of residence homesteads, 'The rniniamm excaription under this provision is $5,000. In addition State law mandates a complete exemption for the residential homestead of disabled veterans determined to be 1,00','/0 disabled by die IS, Department of Veterans Affairs. Further, the surviving spouse of a deceased veteran who had received a vlisability rating ol 100°Ni is entitled to receive a residential hvatiestead exemption equal to the exemption received by the deceased spouse until such surviving spouse remarries. In the ease of residence homestead exemptions granted under Sect ion 1-b,Article Vill,ad valorem taxes may continue to be levied against the value of homesteads exempted where ad valorem (axes have previously been pledged for the payment of debt if cessation or the levy would impair the obligation oldie emit'act by winch the debt was created. State law and Section 2, Article Ville mandate an itdditional property tax exemption for disabled veterans or the surviving sponse or children of a deceased veterao who died while on active duty in the twined forces; the exemption applies to either real Or personal property with the amount of assessed valuation exempted ranging from$5,000 to a maximum of$12,000. Article VIII provides that eligible owners of both agricultural land (Section I-d) and open-space land (Section 1-(1-I), including open-sp„iee land devoted to Firm or ranch purposes or open Space land devoted to(iii bet production,may ded to have such property appraised for ptopetty taxation Ott the basis of its productive capacity, The sane land limy not be qualified under both Section Id and I ci I, crtich Viii,Section I-n of the"Texas Constitution provides fin an exempuon from taxation fiat "goods-iii-transit,'"which are defined as(i)personal property acquired or imported into the State and transported to another location inside or outside the State, (ii) stored under a contract for bailment in public warehouses not in any way owned or controlled by the owner of the stored goods,and(iii) transported to another location inside or outside(lie State within 175 days of the date the property iv:ts acquired or imported into the State, The exemption excludes oil, natural gas, petroleum products, atterall and special inventoiy, including motor vehicle, vessel and out-board motor, heavy equipment and manufacitired housing inventory. On December 8, 2011, the Council passed an ordinance approving taxation on certain goods-in-transit. Aber taking such official action, the goods-in-transit remain subject to taxation by the taxing unit until the governing body of the taxing unit rescinds or repeals its. previous action to tax goods-in-transit If, however, a taxing unit took official action prior to October 1, 2.011 to tax goods-inetransit and pledged the taxes itnpos.ed on the goods-in-transit for the payment of a debt,taxes may continue to be imposed on goods-in-transit until the debt is discharged,if cessation of the imposition of the lax would impair the obligation of the contract by which the debt was created, Nonbusiness personal property., such as automobiles or light trucks, are exempt.. from ad valorem taxation unless the governing body of a political subdivision elects to tax this property, Boats owned as nonbusiness property are exempt from ad valorem taxation., Article VIII,Section I provides for"freeport property"to be exempted from ad valorem ta.xation. Freeport properly is defined as goods detained in Texas for 175 days or less for the purpose of assembly, storage, manufacturing, processing or fabrication. Decisions to continue to tax may be reversed in the.future;decisions to exempt freepori property are not subject to reversal, The City and the other taxing bodies within its territory may agree to jointly create tax increment financing.zones within the City, under which the tax values on property in the zone are"frozen"at the value of the property at the time of creation of the zone, The City also may enter into tax abatement agreements to encourage economic development. Under the agreements, a property owner agrees to construct certain improvements on its property. The City in turn agrees not to levy a tax on, all or part of the increased value attributable to the improvements until the expiration of die agreement. The abatement agreement could last for a period of up to 10 years. See "- Tax ABATEMENT Poun""for a discussion oldie City's economic development guidelines and criteria. CONSTITLITION AL Am EN PM ENT In a statewide election held on September 13, 2003,voters approved an amendment to Section 1-b, Article VIhl of the Texas Constitution, that authorized a county,city,town or junior college district to establish an ad valorem tax freeze on residence homesteads of the disabled and of the elderly and their spouses„City Council did not.take action to establish the tax limitation. Voters within the City were authorized to submit a petition signed by five percent of the registered voters of the City requiring the City Council to call an election to determine by. majority vote whether to establish the lax limitation., A petition was submitted and nit election was held on May 10, 2008„ The voters of College Station voted to approve the ad valorem tax freeze. 'The City can provide no assurances of the impact, if any, implementation of this ad valorem tax freeze may have on the City's finances. Under the tax freeze, the total amount of ad valorem taxes imposed by the City 1)11 a homestead that receives the exemption may not be increased while it remains the residence homestead of that person or that person's spouse who is disabled or sixty-five years of age or older, except to the extent the value of the homestead is increased by improvements other than repairs, If a disabled or elderly person dies in a year in which the person received a residence homestead exemption.,the total amount of ad Valorem taxes imposed on the homestead by the taxing unit may not be increased while it remains the residence homestead ofthat person's surviving spouse if the spouse is fifty-five years. of age or older at the time of die person's death. In addition,the'Texas 1,..„.egislature by general law may provide for the trio isfer of all or a proportionate amount oldie tax limitation applicable to a person's homestead to be transferred to the new homestead of such person if the person moves to a different residence within the taxing unit, Once established, the governing body of the taxing unit may not repeal or rescind the tax limitation„ 7 isrv't;t..tt\'F lAxWvtkAlNn fltort.t.a,At-:tt"11",xx ftArk By the tater of r�epaalctrnberr ai'1'r oar 0(t clays after the certified appraisal toll is tel to the City, the City Council adopts at tax r^mfel per +I0.ttl taxable value for the current yeas.

Business inventory may, at the option of the taxpayer, be assessed ,as of September. Effective January 1,2012,oil and gas reserves are assessed on the basis of a valuation process that uses pricing information contained in the most recent published Early Release Overview of the Annual Energy Outlook published by the United States Energy Information Administration, as well as appraisal formulas developed by the State Comptroller of Public Accounts. Taxes become due October I of the same year, and become delinquent on February 15 of the .following year. Taxpayers 65 years old or older are permitted by Slate law to pay taxes on homesteads in lour installments with the first due before February IS of each year and the final installment due before August 15. PENALTIES AND INTEREST Charges for penalties and interest on the unpaid balance of delinquent taxes are made as follows: Cumulative Cumulative Month Penalty Interest Total February e,'r 7% March 7 2 'i April 8 3 1 1 May 9 4 13 June 10 S 15 July 12 to l8 After,holy,penalty remains at 12%,and interest increases of the rate of IeI^ir each month, 1n addition, if an account is delinquent in July,an amount up to 20%attorney's collection lee is added to the total tax penalty and interest charge.

In general,property subject to the City's lien may be sold, in whole or in parcels,pursuant to court order to collect the amounts due.

Federal bankruptcy law provides that an automatic stay of action by creditors and other entities,including goverrttnerutal units,goes into effect wit It the tiling of any' petition in bankruptcy, The automatic stay prevents governmental units from foreclosing on property and prevents liens fin'post-petition taxes from attaching to property and obtaining secured creditor status unless, in either case, an order titling the stay is obtained f"rout the bankruptcy court.

ACTUARIAL MrtiioDs AND AssumpTioNs , Actuarial valuations involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of events far into the future. Actuarially determined amounts arc subject to continual revision as actual results are compared to past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. 'The required schedule of funding progress immediately following the notes to the financial statements presents multi-year trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits. GASB No, 45 calculations are based on the types of benefits,provided under the terms of the substantive plan at the time of each valuation and on due pattern of sharing of costs between the employer and plan participants to that point, In addition, the projection of benefits for financial reporting purposes does not explicitly incorporate the potential effects of legal or contractual funding 'limitations on the pattern of cost sharing between the employer and plan participants in the'inure.

A fund is iii independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. Fund accounting segregates funds according to their intended purpose and is used to aid management in demonstrating compliance whit finance-related legal and contractual provisions. The in number of funds is maintained consistent with legal and managerial requirements. Account groups are a reporting device to account for certain assets and liabilities of the governmental funds not recorded directly in those funds. Government funds are used to account for the City's general government activities. Governmental fund types use the flow of current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting.

These include Public Safety, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, Economic and Planning and Development Services,the support functions for these areas,and the administrative'functions liar the City' The General Fund for the 2015-2016 fiscal year is influenced by current policies and any approved policy changes. The policies include inter-fund equity;maintaining a balance between revenues arid expenditures;and maintaining the level of service currently provided as the City experiences residential and commercial growth. The City's financial policies are for a General Fund balance of.1.5%of budgeted appropriations at year end. To the extern that the General Fund balance exceeds this amount,this surplus is to be expended in future years for one tune expenditures such as capital items and short term projects, Debt Service Fund .The Debt Service Fund accounts fiar the servicing of general long-term debt not being financed lay proprietary or 0 nexpendable trust funds. It is the City's policy to maintain at least 8 I./3%of annual appropriated expenditures for debt service and any associated fees as the Debt Service Fund balance at fiscal year end, The City is in compliance with that policy. Budeetary Procedures . . ,Prior to September 1, the City Manager submits to die City Council a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following October I.

"Ihere can be no assurance that Existing law or the interpretation thereof will not be changed in a manner which would adversely affect the tax treatment of the purchase,ownership or disposition of the Obligations, A ruling was not sought from the Internal Revenue Service by the Issuer with respect to the Obligations or the property financed or refinanced with proceeds of the Obligations, No assurances can be given ,as to whether the Internal Revenue Service will commence an audit of the Obligations,or as to whether the internal Revenue Service would agree with the opinion of Bond Counsel,. If an internal Revenue Service audit, is commenced,under current procedures the Internal Revenue Service is likely to treat the Issuer as the taxpayer and the Obligation holders may have no right to participate in such procedure, No additional interest will be paid upon any determination of taxability, FEDERAL INCOME TAX ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT The initial public offering price to be paid for one or more maturities of the Obligations is less than the principal amount thereof or one ur more periods for the payment of interest on the Obligations may not be equal to the accrual period or be in excess of one year(the "Original Issue Discount Obligations").

Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic,or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Other Iqfarmation Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements, and statistical section, arc presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and the related budgetary comparison schedules are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been, subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United, States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and the related budgetary comparison schedules are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. 12 The introductory and ia.atistieal sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we (hi not express au opinion or provide any assurance on them, Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Governtnent,Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March I 8, .2016 on out' consideration of the City's internal control over financial yporting and on ow' tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,contracts„and grant agreements and other matters.

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial statements.

Government-Wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City's,finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The statement of net position presents information on all of the City's assets and liabilities, and deferred inflows/outflows of resources with the differences reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether or not the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating. City of College Station, Texas NI a nage al e n s DisC11 SS i0 II and Analysis. For the Fiscal Year Ended SeptErnber 30,, 2015 ohlauditeclp The statioment of activities presents information showing how the City's net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. Ail changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods, such as revenues pertaining to uncollected taxes and expenses pertaining to earned hilt unused vacation. Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities)from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City include general government, fiscal services, police, information technology, planning and development, fire, streets., drainage, traffic, park and recreation, anil citizen and neighborhood resources. The business-type activities of the City include electric, water,. wastewater, sanitation, and the Nor thgate parking garage. 'The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 31-32. rood Financial Statements A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific;activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.Alt of the funds of the City can be divided into governmental kinds and proprietary funds. Governmental Funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in determining what financial resources are available in the near future to finance the City's programs. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The City maintains several individual governmental funds organized according to their type (special revenue, debt service and capital projects). Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General Fund, Debt Service Fund and Streets Projects Fund, all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the remaining governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of the nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report. The governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 33-36. The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General Fund, Debt Service Fund, Special Revenue Funds, and Capital Projects Funds. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the General Fund, Debt Service Fund, Special Revenue Funds and Capital Projects Funds to demonstrate compliance with their budgets. --„„„ City of College Station,Texas '16 S S 0 11 i7.1 n d At)a Iys is For the Fiscal Year Ended :Sept ember 30, 2015 0)naudited) Proprietary Funds Proprietary funds are generally used to account for services for which the City charges customers—either outside customers or internal units or departments of the City. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as shown in the government-wide financial statements„ only in more detail. The City maintains the following two types of proprietary funds: Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business type activities in the government-wide financial statements: The City uses enterprise funds to account for the operations of the electric, water, wastewater, sanitation, and parking activities of the City. Electric, Wafer, and Wastewater funds are considered to be major funds of the City, while the remaining funds (Sanitation and Northgate Parking Garage) are presented in aggregate as nonmajor enterprise funds. Individual fund data for the nonmajor enterprise funds can be found in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report. Internal service funds are used to report activities that provide supplies and services for certain City programs and activities. 'The City uses internal service funds to account for fleet maintenance and utility customer services. It also uses internal service funds to account for equipment replacement; employee benefits; and unemployment, workers compensation, and property and casualty insurance. All of these services benefit both the governmental activities and the business- type activities and have been split between governmental activities and business type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The internal service funds are combined into a single,. aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report., The proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 37-39. Notes to the Financial Statements, The notes to the financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 40-70. Required Supplementary Information In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report presents certain required supplementary information, found on pages 71-74, concerning the City's progress in funding its obligation to provide pension benefits and other postemployment benefits to its employees and the General Fund budget to actual comparison. Combining Statements The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with the nonmajor governmental funds, the nonmajor enterprise funds, and the internal service funds are found on pages 75-116. GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANYALYSIS As noted earlier, net position may serve as a useful indicator of government's financial position. For the City, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $479,993,922 at the close of the most recent fiscal year. The largest portion of the City's net position(76,6 percent)reflects its investment of$367,570,439 in capital assets(e.g., land, buildings, and equipment) less any related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently,these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be, liquidated for these liabilities.

At the end of the current fiscal year, the City was able to report positive balances in all three categories of net position, both for the government as a whole, as well as for the business-type activities. The same situation held true for the prior fiscal year. The City's net position increased by$34,333,359, as a result of fiscal year 2015 operations, as compared to the increase of $6,401,992 for fiscal year 2014 operations, City of College Station, Texas '18 , t»ci A t t o 1 y s t s F011 the IF i s cal Year 1E n ti ecl Se pte m e r :',i(:), 20'15 (Urouditeci) The following table provides a summary of the City's operations for the year ended September 30, 2015 and highlights key elements of the c,hange in the City's net position: Changes in Niel,Position: Governinental Activities flusiiness Type Activities Tritai Revenues 2015 2014 2015 2014 2015 2014 Program revenues: C:harges for services $ '14,139,897 iii: 12,248,313 S140,646,594. $ 135„5.51,'I 00 $ 1,54,786,.491 i$ 147;799,413 Operaling grams and contiibiition. 2,995,401 3„234,317 668,,322 291.366 3,663,723 3.525„683 Capital grants and contributions 3,542,528 7,104,520 9,596,8,13 7,,3013,230 '13,139,341.1 11,7'13,'750 General revenues; Property taxes 30,936,581 27„349,234 - 30,93.6,5.81 27.349„234 - Sales and mixed bevei age taxes 26,687,963 25„141,825 - 26,687,963 25,14'1,825 Other laxes 13,604,517 7,535,152 8,604,5.17 7,535,152 Gain on sale ot capital assets.

Financial Reporting Entity The City of College Station, Texas ("CRY"), the financial reporting entity presented in these financial statements, was incorporated in 1938 as a municipal corporation incorporated under the provisions of LLB. 901 of the Texas Legislature. The City operates under a Council-Manager form of government and provides such services as, authorized by its charter to advance the welfare, health, comfort, safety and convenience of the City and its, habitants. The accounting and reporting policies of the City relating to the funds included in the accompanying basic, financial statements conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America(GAAP) applicable to state and local governments. Generally accepted accounting principles for local governirients include those principles prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the ,Arnerican Institute of Certified Public Accountants in the public:alien entitled State_andj_poet Governrnents-Audit and. 8cc9untirio G.,initte and by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (when applicable), The City's basic financial statements include the accounts of all City operations. The criteria for including organizations as component units within the City's reporting entity, as set forth in Section 2100 of GASB's Codification of Governmental Acconntingand Financial Rcji:Jorting Standards„ include whether: • The organization is legally separate(can sue and be sued in their own name) • The City holds the corporate powers of the organization O The City appoints a voting majority of the organization's board • The City is able to impose its will on the organization • The organization has the potential to impose a financial benefit/burden on the City • There is a fiscal dependency by the organization on the City. Based on the aforementioned criteria, the City has no component units. B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (e.g., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on alt of the activities of the City. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses for a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment.Program revenues include(1)charges to customers or applicants who purchase,use or directly benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a given function or segment and (2)grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among programs revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. C. Measurement Focus,Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation Measurement focus refers to the type of information a given fund presents; basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurement made, regardless of the measurement,focuses applied. The government-wide financial statements and fund financial statements for proprietary funds are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. The economic resources measurement focus means all assets and liabilities(whether current or noncurrent)are included on the statement 40 City of College Station, Texas Notes to t hc• aiicial S ta tem e ntS El1Lain,Q,Lialasil.„*LihkcialcalLaiiiilltd„.„ 2e2JLl„1„1..„„„„„„„„„, of net position and the operatifig statements present increases (revenues) and decrtases (experiset:3) in iotal net position. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the. timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirenrients have been met. Governmental 'fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable arid available. "1 '11easoable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and "available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 30 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures are generally recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting, However, debt service expenditures„ as well as expenditures related to vacation, clairns, and judgments are recorded only when payment is due. Property taxes, other local taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and, therefore, have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measui'eable and available only wrren the City receives, cash, The City reports the following major governmental funds: The General Fund is the City's primary operating fund* lit accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. All general tax revenues and other receipts that are not restricted by law or contractual agreement to some other fund are accounted for in this fund. General operating expenditures,fixed charges and capital improvement costs that are not paid through other funds are paid from the General Fund. The Debt Service Fund accounts for the financial resources that are restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditure for the payment of principal and interest on long-term debt paid primarily from taxes levied by the City. Financial resources that are being accumulated from principal and interest in future years are also reported in the Debt Service Fund. The Streets Projects Fund accounts for the costs of new street construction,street improvements,and traffic signalization made with funds provided primarily by proceeds from the sale of general obligation bonds and by investing those proceeds. The City reports the following major proprietary funds: The Electric Fund accounts for the activities necessary to provide electric services to the residents of the City. These activities include administration, distribution system operations and maintenance, transmission system operations and maintenance, new construction, and financing and related debt services. Billing and collection services are accounted for as an internal service fund. The Water Fund accounts for the activities necessary to provide water services to the residents of the City. These activities include administrative services, water production and distribution system operation and maintenance, new construction, and financing and related debt services. Ming and collection services are accounted for as an internal service fund. The Wastewater Fund accounts for the activities necessary to provide wastewater services to the residents of the City.These activities include administrative services,wastewater system operation and maintenance, new construction, and financing and related debt services. Billing and collection services are accounted for as an internal service fund. 4 1 City of College Station, Texas Notes to the Financ:tai Staternertis Lcr iliSLAAattlitisildatatiatabilt.„„29,.2.0.Ein___ Addonally, the City reports the billowing fund types: internal Service Funds account for activities related to administration of health insurance provided to City employees; the City's risk management activities, including general liability, unemployment and workers' compensation claims and associated administrative expenses on a cost reimbursement basis; utility billing and collection activities related to the City's electric, water, and wastewater utilities and residential and commercial garbage collections; activities related to the management of the City's vehicles and heavy equipment, including preventative maintenance and vehicle repair;and activities related to the purchase and replacement of vehicles and large motorized equipment, telephone and radio systems, and technological infrastructure equipment riot budgeted in other funds, In general, the effect of internal fund activity has been eliminated frorn II ie government-wide financial statements. Exceptioris to this rule are paym ents-indieu of axes,indirect costs and franchise fees,and other charges between the, City's Electric, Water, and Wastewater Funds bennuse elimination of these charge would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported in the Statement of Activities. Amounts reported as program revenues include(1)charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and(2)grants and contributions that are restricted to rfleeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Proprietary funds distinguish operation revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services in connection with the fund's principal ongoing operations,The principal operation revenues of the City's enterprise funds are charges for customer services including electric,water,wastewater, and sanitation fees;while internal service funds revenues are for equipment purchase amounts and risk management charges. Operating expenses for enterprise fund and internal services funds include the cost of services, administrative expenses,and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to use restricted resources first, and then unrestricted resources as they are needed. Assets, Liabilities,and Net Position or Equity Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are short term highly liquid investments that are (a) readily convertible to known amounts of cash and (b) so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Therefore, for purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents (including restricted assets) include demand accounts, investments pools, money market mutual funds, certificates of deposit and agency securities notes with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. All cash,except for petty cash accounts,is deposited with the City's depository bank in interest bearing accounts or is invested. The City uses a pooling method to account for cash and cash equivalents. Equity in cash and cash equivalents, and interest income from pooled cash are allocated to the participating funds on a monthly basis. The amount of the allocation is determined by calculating a ratio of each fund's equity in the pool to the total pool. Investments Investments are made in accordance with the City's Investment Policy which was adopted by the City Council in October 2014 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015,,This policy is applicable to all city funds and permits investment in obligations of U.S. Government or its agencies, repurchase agreements, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, public funds investment pools, and money market mutual funds. This policy states that the Assistant City Manager shall designate the City's Investment Officer with whom responsibility and authority for investment transactions reside. City of College Station, Texas Notes o theFi rn1 a hcia El Eol - „,n„ita. acalm,Y1 Li,gt. silf„s The investments purchased under the provisions,of the Investmeht Policy are mat'aged to maintain liquidity'for meeting the City's needs for cash and to limit potential market risks in periods of rising interest rates which depress the market value of securities. As a guideline, maturity of securities should not exceed five years for cash management purposes,with an optimum weighted average maturity of less than two years. Investments in securities with a maturity of more than two years are considered prudent for funds maintained for capital construction and debt service funds, if necessary to meet projected disbursement schedules. As a general guideline, the City's cash management portfolio is designed with the objective of meeting, over the course of full market cycles, the average return on three-month U.S:Treasury bills, or the average rate of federal funds, whichever is 'higher, These indices are considered benchmarks for riskless investment transactions and therefore comprise a standard for the portliolios rate of return: The investment program seeks to augment rates of return above this level. In a diversified portfolio, measured losses are inevitable and ioust be considered within the context of the overall portfolio. The objective of investment in construction funds shoi,„ild at least match inflation increases in construction costs. Active portfolio management includes the practice of selling securities prior to maturity and using the proceeds to purchase other securities. Such "swaps" are performed for a variety of valid reasons: to lengthen maturities as interest rates rise, to secure market profits and shorten maturities as interest rates fall,and to take advantage of differences in relative yield between different types of securities and varying maturities. "Swaps" analysis is the responsibility of the City's Investment Officer and the decision to execute the "swap" rests with this, designated Officer. To protect the portfolio from imprudent trading, no security may be sold until such tine as the current market value of the security plus interest earned from date of purchase is at least, equal to the purchase price of that security. State statutes authorize the City to invest in fully insured time deposits,direct debt securities of the United States or its agencies,and fully collateralized repurchase agreements.The repurchase agreements must be purchased pursuant to a master repurchase agreement which specifies that the transaction be held in a safekeeping account subject to the control and custody of the City. Investments in security repurchase agreements may be made only with the City's depository bank,with state or national banks domiciled in the state of Texas, or with securities dealers reporting to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("Primary Dealers"), All securities are purchased delivery versus payment and held in the City's name in a safekeeping account at The Bank of New York. Investments of all funds may consist of Agency securities, money market mutual funds, certificates of deposit and investments in public funds investment pool. Investments are stated at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No, 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. In 2011, the City adopted GASB No.59, Financial Instruments Omnibus. See Note IV-A regarding ,2a7- like pools. The City also uses a pooling method to account for investments. Equity in investments and interest income from the investment pool is allocated to the participating funds on a monthly basis and is determined by calculating a ratio of each fund's equity in the investment pool to the total pool. inventories, Assets Held for Resale and Prepaid Costs Inventories are accounted for using the consumption method and are valued at year-end based on cost, with costs determined using an average cost method. Assets held for resale are Cemetery plots which are in the governmental funds. City ordinance stipulates the percentage of cemetery plot sales to be allocated to the operational fund,These assets held for resale are in the non-major governmental Cemetery funds and are reported as inventory in the financial statements and accounted for using the purchases method.

All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as "due to/from other funds". Any residual balances outstanding between governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as "internal balances," Transactions between f-urrds the City allocates an indirect cost percentage of administrative services paid through the General Fund along with other indirect costs deemed necessary for the operation of the proprietary funds, internal service hinds and the other governmental funds,. Restricted Assets In the Enterprise Funds, proceeds of utility revenue bonds and certificates of obligations, as welt as resources set aside for their repayment, are classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet because their use is lirnited by applicable bond covenants, in addition, customer utility deposits are classified as restricted assets because the deposit remains the property of the customer and is not available for operations, JnvPstillPfltki -19ifILVinture, The Proprietary Funds' investment in joint venture is recorded using the equity method of accounting. Required disclosures concerning the joint venture are presented in Note V-C. Capital Assets. Capital assets include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets(e,g., roads, bridges, sidewalks,and similar items) and are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of three years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation. Assets owned by the electric utility are capitalized in accordance with Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) guidelines. Furthermore, assets owned by either the Water or Wastewater utilities are capitalized in accordance with the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) guidelines. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the assets or materially extend the asset's useful life are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 980 Regulated Operations, interest is not capitalized during construction of capital assets of business-type activities because interest is recovered currently in the City's established rate structure. Depreciation of all assets is recorded and calculated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Electric system 1-50 Years Water system 2-50 Years Wastewater system 2-50 Years Infrastructure 10-50 Years Buildings and building improvements 5-50 Years Land improvements 10-45 Years Machinery and equipment 5-20 Years Motor vehicles. 3-12 Years Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 5-20 Years City of College Station, Texas.

All internal service funds are included as part of the above totals for governmental activities. All of the Utility Customer Service Fund and a portion of the remaining internal service funds are included in the Business-type Activities on the Statement of Net Position. For the governmental activities, accrued vacation is generally liquidated by the general fund. Long-Term Obligations In the government-wide financial statements and in the fund financial statements for the proprietary.fund types, long-term debt and other tong-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund statement of net position. 'Zond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-tine method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount and deferred amounts on refunding. Bond issuance costs, with the exception of bond insurance, are expensed in the period incurred. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures. Pensions For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the Fiduciary Net Position of the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) and additions to/deductions from TMRS's Fiduciary Net Position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by TMRS. For this purpose, plan contributions are recognized in the period that compensation is reported for the employee, which is when contributions are legally due. Benefit payments and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. Fund Equity In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can be spent. In the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the City adopted the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement (GASBS)number 54; "Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions." GASII.iS 54 provides for and the City uses the following classifications: 41.5 City of College Station, Texas Notes to the l';'inanciat Statements Nonspenciabie Fund Balance includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are not in spendable form,. The"not in spendable form'criterion includes items that are not expected to be converted to cash, for example, inventories and prepaid amounts. It also includes the long-term amount of loans receivable as well as property acquired for resale. Restricted Fund Balance is reported when constraints placed on the use of resources are either (a) externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or(b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation, Cornurilled Fund,Balance includes amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to limitations imposed by the government's highest level of decision-making authority. The City Council is the highest level of decision making authority for the government that can, by approval of a resolution prior to the end of the fiscal year, commit 'fund balance. Once adopted,. the limitation imposed by the resolution remains in place until El similar action is taken (the approval of another resolution) to remove or revise the limitation. Assigned Fund Balance includes amounts that are constrained by the government's intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed„ The governing body, the City Council, has authorized the Assistant City Manager, through the budget ordinance, to assign fund balance. Assignments, unlike, commitments are not permanent arid a formal action is not required for the removal of an assignment, Finally, assignments may not result in a deficit in Unassigned Fund Balance in the General Fund. Unassigned Fund Balance is the residual classification for the General Fund. This classification represents fund balance that has not been assigned to other funds nor been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes within the General Fund. In other governmental funds, if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceeded the amounts restricted, committed, or assigned to those purposes, it may be necessary to report a negative unassigned fund balance. When fund balances are available for use and the usage requirements met, the City reduces the committed amounts first, followed by the assigned amounts and then the unassigned amount lastly. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to use restricted resources first, and then unrestricted resources as they are needed. E. Budgetary Control The City follows these procedures in establishing budgetary data 1. Prior to September 1, City Manager submits to City Council a proposed operating budget for the upcoming fiscal year beginning October 'I. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means for financing them. 2. All budget requests are compiled by the Office of Budget & Financial Reporting and then presented with comparative and supporting data to the Mayor and City Council for review. 3. Public hearings are properly advertised and conducted at City Hall for taxpayer comments. 4. Prior to September 27, the budget is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance. 5. The City Council must approve all transfers of budgeted amounts between departments within any fund and any revision that alters the total expenditures of any fund. An amount is also budgeted each year for contingencies which may arise. The Council has authorized the City Manager to make budget transfers for contingencies if the amount does not exceed $50,000. All other transfers must be approved by City Council. Departments may transfer amounts among individual budget line items within major expenditure categories during the year,but no such transfer may increase the overall total budget without Council approval. Budgeted amounts as originally adopted were not significantly changed by such transfers during the year. 6, In accordance with the City Charter,the budget may be amended after the following conditions are met: (a)The, City Manager certifies that there are available revenues in excess of those estimated in the budget. (b) The .„.„.„.„„ City of College Station, Texas Notes to the Financial Statements y - 11.1 - ) ,LOLLLIfk,f1„„„,,Aif lf,41, City Council holds a piiblic hearing on tlu supplemental appropriation. (e) The City Councii approves 011e supplemental appropriation,. Management may not amend the budget without seeking the approval of the City Council. Basis of Accounting The City prepares its annual budget on a basis (budget basis) which differs from a GAAP basis. The budget and all transactions are presented in, accordance with the City's method (budget basis) in the Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balance - Budget and Actual - General Fund to provide a meaningful comparison of actual results with the budget. The differences between budget and GAAP basis in the General Fund are that reimbursements and transfers of indirect costs are shown as Reimbursed Administration and interfund loan transactions are treated as transfers for budget basis, Consistent with the purchases method„ assets held for resale are treated as expenditures for budget purposes. Minimum Fund li,,i"alaticielOperating Reserve Policies The unobligated(unassigned)fund balance in the General Fund should be at least 15%of the annual budgeted General Fund expenditures, This percentage is the equivalent of 55 days expenditure. An additional amour it of 3.0% should be maintained for extraordinary items or contingencies,. Cash and investments alone should be equivalent to 30 days operating expenditures. The working capital (current assets less current liabilities) in the enterprise funds should be maintained at '15% of total operating expenses or the equivalent of 55 days., Cash and investments alone should be equivalent to 30 days of operations. Ill. Stewardship, Compliance, and Accountability A. Budgetary Information The Council approved two budget amendments during fiscal year 2015. These two budget amendments included the following appropriations: Encumbrance Roil $3,008,450 City Gateway project 150,000 TAIMU Game Day Traffic Control Rental/Purchase 295,000 Prainage Boom Mower 66,000 PD&Administrative Office Space 41,0.00.

In the General Fund, budget appropriations are adopted at the department level. Expenditures in excess of appropriations for each fund are prohibited by the City Charter. Appropriations lapse at the end of the budget year if they have not been expended or lawfully encumbered. 2. Formal budgetary integration is legally enacted and employed as a management control device during the year for all funds. 3. Encumbrance accounting is employed in governmental funds. Encumbrances(e.g., purchase orders, contracts) outstanding at year end are reported as assignments of fund balances and do not constitute expenditures or liabilities.

Property Taxes Property tax is levied each October 1 on the assessed (appraised)value listed as of the prior January 1 for all teat and business personal property located in the City. Taxable assessed value represents the appraisal value less applicable exemptions authorized by the City Council. Taxes are due October 1 and are delinquent after the following January 31, "lax liens are automatic and become enforceable as of January 1 of each year. Taxes become delinquent February 1 and are subject to interest and penalty charges. The tax rate to finance general governmental services including debt service was 45„2500 cents per$100 of assessed valuation for the year ended September 30,2015., Under current state statutes, the Cityls ability to increase the levy for property taxation is subject to a maximum rate of$2,50 per $100 valuation. The Brazes County Appraisal District ("Appraisal District') is responsible for the recording and appraisal of property For all taxing units in Brazos County. The Appraisal District is required to assess property at 100 percent of its appraised value, Real property ioust be reappraised at least every three years. The City may, at its own expense,require annual reviews by the Appraisal District through various appeals and,if necessary,legal action. Under this system, if the rate, excluding tax rates for bonds and other contractual obligations adjusted for new improvements, exceeds the rate for the previous year by more than eight(8)percent, qualified voters of the City may petition for an election to determine whether to limit the tax rate to no more than eight(8)percent above the tax rate of the previous year, Brazos County bills and collects the property taxes for the City. B. Risk Management A government entity such as the City of College Station faces many risks. These risks generally can be divided into four loss categories: direct property loss, indirect property loss, liability loss, and personnel losses. The City employs a combination of risk management strategies to provide acceptable levels of protection from these. exposures. The City is self-insured for health benefits, and the plan is administered by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas. This activity is accounted for in the Employee Benefits Fund, which is funded monthly from employee contributions and City operating funds. Contributions are determined based on an analysis of prior year claims and administrative costs and a forecast of future claims and administrative costs. The City's stop loss insurance policy limits the City's liability to$165,000 per individual per year, with an aggregate attachment point for the last 12 months of $7,661,832. The liability for outstanding losses includes $1,336,795 for claims incurred but not reported as of September 30, 2015. In fiscal year 2015, City real and personal property and mobile equipment was insured by Affiliated FM, A.M. Best rated A+, financial category XV. Affiliated FM premiums were funded by calculated contributions from the City's operating funds. Affiliated FM provided claims handling for these coverage lines. The City carried a property insurance policy deductible between $100,000 and $250,000 per occurrence, depending on type of toss. Property insurance covered all direct losses and some indirect losses. The City self-insures all liability coverage lines. Licensed adjusters in the City's Risk Management Division process Liability and Workers' Compensation claims utilizing the services of Third Party Administrator Abercrombie, Simmons & Gillette (AS&G). In the event of a simultaneous liability and Workers' Compensation claim, only one SIR(self-insured retention)applies. To further protect the City from catastrophic loss, the City carries excess liability coverage through Allied World Insurance Company, AM. Best rated A XV, and Colony Insurance Company, A.M. Best rated A XIII. Colony is also the City's excess Workers°Compensation carrier. The self-insured retention("SIR")for 2015 was$500,000 per claim. Liabilities in the property and casualty fund and the Workers'Compensation fund are reported to the carrier when a covered loss can be reasonably estimated to approach one-half of the City's Self-Insured Retention. Liabilities include an amount for claims incurred but not reported. Based on the most recent actuarial study, the City has City of College Station, Texas Notes to the Finandal Statements recorded a potential liability of$342,312 in the property and casualty fund and a potential liability of$293,935 in the Workers' Compensation fund. The results of the process to estimate the claims liability is not exact, as it depends on many complex 'factors, such as inflation, changes in legal doctrines, and damage awards, Accordingly,claims are re-evaluated periodically to accommodate the effects of inflation,recent claim settlement trends (including frequency and amount of payouts), and other economic and social factors, Settlements have, not exceeded self-insured retention in each of the past three fiscal years. As a reimbursing employer, the City uses the Unemployment Fund to pay qualified claims,filed under the Texas Unemployment Compensation Act. Monthly contributions to fund this activity are based on a percentage of payroll determined,armtrally during II ie budget process., The liabilities for insurance claims reported in each of the funds are based on Goveriimental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 10, which requires a liability for claims to be reported if intern ration prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates ills probable a liability has been incurred at the date ot the financial statements and if the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. 'These liabilities include an estimate for incurred but not reported claims„ Changes in the balances of claims liabilities for the sell insurance funds accounted for as Internal Service Funds for fiscal years 2015 and 2014 are as follows: 2015 2014. Unpaid Claims, October 1 $1,650,636 $1641547 Incurred Claims(including IBNR's) 8,228,627 7,256,283 Claims Paid (7,9.06,221) (7,247,194) Unpaid Claims, September 30 $1,973,042 $1,650,636 C. Joint Venture In 1990 the Brazos Valley Solid Waste Management Agency("BVSWMA")was formed under a joint solid waste, management agreement between the Cities of College Station and ;ryan,, College Station and Bryan agreed to cooperatively operate a joint facility for the proper disposal of solid waste for the two cities and outside customers. Each City reported 50% ownership in BVSWMA. The City of College Station served as landfill operator. This basic structure is how BVSWMA operated until 2010. In February 2010 the City Councils for the City of Bryan and the City of College Station approved Articles of Incorporation for BVSWMA, Inc* a Local Government Corporation under the provisions of Subchapter D of Chapter 431,, Texas Transportation Code; and Chapter 394, Texas Local Government Code. In March 2010, the City Councils of Bryan and College Station approved bylaws for BVSWMA, Inc.,which establishes the power to issue debt and to acquire land. The powers of BVSWMA, Inc* are vested in a 7 member Board of Directors, with each City Council appointing 3 members and the 7th member to be selected by an approval process set forth in the Articles of Incorporation and deemed to have been appointed by the Cities. On September 13, 2010, Bryan City Council, College Station City Council and the BVSWMA, Inc, Board of Directors formalized the creation of BVSWMA, Inc, and the dissolution of BVSWMA, effective October 1, 2010,. with the approval and execution of a(n): oi Borrowed Employee Agreement between the City of College Station and BVSWMA, Inc.; Asset Transfer and Debt Reimbursement Agreement between BVSWMA, Inc.,the City of College Station and the City of Bryan; 60 City of College Station, Texas Notes to the Financial Statements Agreemerit between the City of College Statiori„ the City of Bryu and BVSWIVIA„ he regarding the!

College Station reports BVSWMA„ hie as a joint venture with the City of Bryan and recognizes! 50% ownership in BVSWMA, Inc. in the City's financial statements. Per GASB 14, a Joint Venture (JV) is a legal entity or other organization that results from a contractual arrangement and that is olNned„ operated., or governed by two or mare particoants as a separate and specific activity subject to joint control, in which the partidrmots retain(a)an ongoing financial interest or(b)an ongoing! financial responsibility. Joint control means that no single participant has the ability to unilaterally control the 'financial or operating policies of the Joint Venture. Ari ongoing financial interest includes an equity interest,as defined in paragraph 72, and any other arrangement that causes a participating government to have access to the Joint Venture's resources. An equity interest in a Joint Venture is manifest in the ownership of shares of Joint Venture stock or by otherwise having an explicit,. measurable right to the net resources of a Joint Venture that is usually based on an investment of financial or capital resources by a participating government. An equity interest is explicit and measurable if the Joint Venture agreement stipulates that the participants have a present or future claim to the net resources of the Joint Venture and sets forth the method to determine the participants' shares of the Joint Venture's net resources. Per the BVSWMA, Inc, by-laws, paragraph 8,05, Section 431.107 of the Texas Transportation Corporation Act entitles the Cities, at all times, to have the right to equally receive the income earned by the corporation, Also, per BVSWMA, Inc,'s by-laws, paragraph 4.03a,the corporation,with the approval of the Cities,is authorized to issue short-term debt; however, the Cities shall be given the first opportunity to provide these funds before the Board incurs debt. This would result in the City of College Station providing an investment of financial resources to BVSWMA, Inc. An ongoing financial responsibility for a Joint Venture occurs if a participating government is obligated in some manner for the debts (see paragraph 33 of GASB '14) of the Joint Venture, or if the Joint Venture's continued existence depends on the continued funding by the government. Per paragraph 33 of GASB 14,— A primary government is obligated in some manner for the debt of an organization if it is legally obligated to assume all or part of the debt in the event of default. Per Article XIV, paragraph 14,03, of the Articles of Incorporation of BVSWMA, Inc., upon dissolution of the corporation: A. the assets of the Corporation shall be distributed equally between the Cities;and B. any remaining liabilities of the corporation shall be shared equally between the Cities. State and federal laws and regulations required BVSWMA, Inc. to place a final cover on its Rock Prairie landfill site when it stopped accepting waste and to perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions at the site for thirty years after closure. The Rock Prairie Road landfill stopped accepting waste in July 2011,and the Twin Oaks Landfill in Grimes County began accepting waste. During the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013, the installation of the remaining final cover at the Rock Prairie Road Landfill(+/-40 acres)was completed. Although closure and post closure care costs will be paid only near or after the date that the landfill stopped accepting waste, BVSWMA, Inc. reports a portion of these closure and post closure care costs as an operating expense in each period based on landfill capacity used as of each balance sheet date. Actual cost may be higher due to inflation, changes in technology, or changes in regulations.

TMRS is an agency created by the State of Texas and administered in accordance with the TMRS Act, Subtitle G, Title 8, Texas Government Code(the TMRS Act)as an agent multiple-employer retirement system for municipal employees in the State of Texas. The TMRS Act places the general administration and management of the System with a six- member Board of Trustees, Although the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate, appoints the Board. TMRS is not fiscally dependent on the State of Texas. TMRS's defined benefit pension plan is a tax- qualified plan under Section 401 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code. TMRS issues a publicly available comprehensive annual financial report(CAFR)that can be obtained at wvvmtnirsxonl All eligible employees of the city are required to participate in TMRS, TMRS provides retirement,disability, and death benefits, Benefit provisions are adopted by the governing body of the City, within the options available in the state statutes governing TMRS. At retirement, the benefit is calculated as if the sum of the employee's contributions, with interest, and the city- financed monetary credits with interest were used to purchase an annuity. Members may choose to receive their retirement benefit in one of seven actuarially equivalent payments options. Members may also choose to receive a portion of their benefit as a Partial Lump Sum Distribution in an amount equal to 12,24,or 36 monthly payments, which cannot exceed 75%of the member's deposits and interest. The plan provisions are adopted by the governing body of the City, within the options available in the state statutes governing TMRS, Plan provisions for the City were as follows: 62 City of College Station, Texas ................ Notes to the Financ01 Statements Employee deposit rate '7„00% Matching ratio (City to Employee) 2 to 1 Years required for vesting 5 20 years at any age, 5 years at Service retirement eligibility age160 and above '75% Repeating Updated eNee Credit 'Transfers 50% at CPI Anni arty Increase(In retirees) Repeating Employees covered by_behelit terms At the December 31 2014 valuation and measurement date, the following employees were covered by the berietit terms: Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 362 Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 441 Active employees, 805 1,608 Contributions The contribution rates for employees in TMRS are either 5%, 6%, or 7% of employee gross earnings, and the city matching percentages are either 100%, 150%,or 200°/0, both as adopted by the governing body of the city. Under the state taw governing TMRS, the contribution rate for each city is determined annually by the actuary, using the Entry Age Normal (EAN) actuarial cost method. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the cost of benefits earned by employees during the year,with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. Employees for the City of College Station were required to contribute 7% of their annual gross earnings during the fiscal year. The contribution rates for the City of College Station were 14%and 14% in calendar years 2014 and 2015, respectively. The city's contributions to'PARS for fiscal year 2015 were$6,068,368 and were equal to the required contributions. Net Pension Liability The city's Net Pension Liability (NPL)was measured as of December 31, 2014, and the Total Pension Liability (TPL)used to calculate the Net Pension Liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. Actuarial assumptions The Total Pension Liability in the December 31,, 2014 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions: Inflation 3.0% per year Overall Payroll growth 3,0')/0 per year Investment rate of return 7.0%, net of pension plan investment expense„ including inflation Salary increases were based on service-related table. Mortality rates for active members, retirees, and beneficiaries were based on the gender-distinct RP2000 Combined Healthy Mortality Table, with mate rates multiplied by 109% and female rates multiplied by 103%. The rates are projected on a fully generational basis 63 City of College Station, Texas Notes IC) the Financial Staten lents by scale BB to account for future mortality improvements. For disabled annuitants, the gender-distinct RP2000 Disabled Retiree Moo tality Table is used, with slight adjustments, Actuarial assumptions used in the December 31,2014,, valuation were based on the results of actuarial experience, studieF. This experience study was for the period January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2009, first used in the December 31, 2010 valuation. Healthy post-retirement mortality rates and annuity purchase rates were updated based on a Mortality Experience Investigation Study covering 2009 through 2011, and dated December 31, 2013. These assumptions were first used in the December 31,, 2013 valuation, along with a change to the Entry Age Normal (EAN) actuarial cost method, Assumptions are reviewed annually„ No additional changes were made, for the 2014 valuation, The long-term expected i:ate of return on pension plan investinents is'7.0%. The pension plans policy in regard to the allocation of invested assets is established and may be amended by Ilia TMRS Board of TR stees, Plan assets, are managed on a total return basis with an emphasis on both capital appreciation as well as the production of income, in order to satisfy the short-term and long-tenn funding needs of TMRS. -Fre long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation, The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic, real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table: Lonl,,,-Terrn Expected Real Asset Target Rate of Return Class Allocation, (ArithrneticL Domestic equity 17.5% 4.80% International equity 17.5% 6.05% Core Fixed Income 30.0%© 1.50% Non-Core Fixed 10.0% 3.50% Real Return 5.0% 1.75% Real estate 10.0% 5.25%, Absolute Return 5.0% 4.25% Private Equity 5.0% 8.50%, Total 100.0% Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the Total Pension Liability was 7.0%, The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that employee contributions wilt remain at the current 7% and employer contributions will be made at the rates specified in statute. Based on that assumption, the pension plans Fiduciary Net Position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore,the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the Total Pension Liability.

Other Post-Employment .4enefits In addition to the pension benefits described in Note V:D., as required by state laws and defined by City policy, the City makes available postretirement medical,dental,vision,drug and life insurance benefits to all employees who meet TMRS retirement qualifications, retire from the City and who enroll themselves and their eligible dependent(s)on or before the effective date of their retirement through the City's single-employer defined benefit other post-employment benefit (OPEB) plan. The life insurance plan provides a $10,000 fully insured death benefit coverage upon retirement which ceases upon attainment of age 65 for retirees. So long as monthly premium payments are made, the healthcare plan provides coverage until age 65 to eligible retirees, their spouses and dependents through the City's group health insurance plan, which covers both active and retired members. Benefit provisions as well as retiree premium contributions are established by management. The City determines the employer and participant contribution rates annually based on recommendations of City staff and the City's consultant. All medical, dental, vision and drug care benefits are provided through the City's self-insured health plan. The benefit levels are the same as those afforded to active employees. Life insurance for eligible retirees is paid entirely by the City. During fiscal year 2015,fifty-two former employees were covered under this arrangement,with claims less retiree contributions totaling ($434,136), 66 City of College Station, Texas Notes to the Financial Statements Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB °Motion The City's annual OPEB cost is based on the annual required contribution (ARC) of the City, an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 46. Despite the apparent implications of the term ARC, the City is not required to contribute the ARC to the plan each year, Instead, the ARC provides a basis for evaluating whether the City's contributions for OPEB are adequate to fund the benefits during the working lifetime of current employees (i.e., the normal cost) and to amortize existing unfunded obligations (i.e., the obligations for current retirees plus that portion of the current employees' obligations that are attributed to past service)in a systematic mariner over the amortization period prescribed by GASB. "The annual OPEB cost is the annual accounting expense recorded on the City's Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position and on the City's Statement of Activities, The annual OPEB cost is equal (1)to the ARC for the current fiscal year, plus (2) interest on the Net OPEB Obligation at the beginning of the year, reduced by (3) an adjustment to the ARC which is (Awl to an amortization of the beginning of the year Net OPEB Obligation.

Because the City did not have an OPEB liability/(asset)at transition, the Net OPEB Obligation as of October 1, 2008 is zero. Whenever the City contributes an amount less than the annual OPEB cost, this shortfall will increase the City's Net OPE:. Obligation. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Actuarial valuations involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability. of events far into the future, Actuarially determined amounts are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared to past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The required Schedule of Funding Progress immediately following the notes to the financial statements presents multi-year trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits. GASB No. 45 calculations are based on the types of benefits provided under the terms of the substantive plan at the time of each valuation and on the pattern of 67 City of College Station, Texas N )tes to the t a te m e nt sharing of costs between the employer and plan participants to that point. In addition, the projection of benefits for financial reporting purposes does not explicitly incuiporate the potential effects of legal or contractual funding limitations on the pattern of cost sharing between the employer and plan participants in the future. Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective. In addition, consistent with that perspective, actuarial methods and assumptions used in developing the amounts in this report include techniques that are designed to reduce short-terrn volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities. The required contribution rates were determined as' part of the October 1, 2014 actuarial valuation„ Significarit methods and assumptions follow: Actuarial Valuation Date 'I OM/201 41 Asset Valuation Method Market Actuarial Cost Method Projected nit Credit Actuarial Assumptions: Annual Investment Return,Assumption* 4,5% 'Includes Inflation at: 3.5% Projected Salary lnc re a se s N/A.

Fundina Status and Fundina Progress The Schedule of Funding Progress presents information as of the current valuation date and the two preceding valuation dates. As of the date of this financial statement, the City has had three valuations, that for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2010, October 'I, 2012 and one for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2014.

The assumptions that have been changed since the previous valuation are: - the Discount Rate has been updated to reflect changes in the allocation of assets of the employer and the expected return on such assets; - the Assumed Per Capita Health Benefit Costs and Assumed Expenses for retirees and dependents have been updated to reflect changes in claims and expense expectations; and - the Health Benefit Cost Trend and Expense Trend have been updated to reflect changes in short-term expectations of the annual rate of increase of the Assumed Per Capita Health Benefit Costs. The City has had three separate valuations, one of which used the October 1, 2010 valuation date, October 1, 2012 and October 1, 2014 valuation date. The October 1, 2010 valuation date was used to develop results for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012, the October 1, ,2012 valuation date was used to develop results for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2013, and 2014. The plan was changed effective January 1, 2012 to eliminate post-65 medical coverage and was changed effective January 1, 2013 to eliminate one of the PPO benefit options. While the plan typically undergoes a biennial valuation, pursuant to paragraph 12 of GASB 45, a new valuation must be performed if there are significant changes to the plan since the previous valuation. The October 1, 2014 valuation date was used to develop results for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2015 and 2016,, as part of the plan's biennial valuation. 6'8 City of College Station, Texas Notes to the Financial Statenrients altaagaltrrYwaLlackstatutfattLaillfal.,..„__ F.
