City Hall 301 West 2nd St., P.O. Box 1088, Austin, Texas 78767

March 1, 2018 Honorable Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem and Councilmembers, and Citizens of Austin City of Austin, Texas We are pleased to submit to you the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the City of Austin, Texas for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017. The CAFR is provided to give detailed information about the financial position and activities of the City to citizens, City Council, City staff, and other readers. City management is responsible for both the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and fairness of the presentations, including all disclosures. We believe the data, as presented, is accurate in all material respects and is presented in a manner which fairly sets forth the financial position and results of operations of the City. These financial statements have been prepared by the Controller's Office in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for local governments. The basic financial statements and related notes have been audited by the independent firm of Certified Public Accountants, Deloitte & Touche LLP. This audit satisfies Article VII, Section 16 of the City Charter, which requires an annual audit of all accounts of the City by an independent Certified Public Accountant. Grant awards are being audited under the provisions of the Single Audit Act of 1996, as amended, and the State of Texas Uniform Grants Management Standards. The Single Audit reports will be issued separately. Management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditors’ report. It provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements. This letter of transmittal is intended to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. AUSTIN’S GOVERNMENT AND THE REPORTING ENTITY General Information The City of Austin, chartered in 1839, has a Council-Manager form of government with a Mayor who is elected at large and ten Councilmembers who are elected by geographic district. The elected officials serve four-year staggered terms subject to a maximum of two consecutive terms. The City Manager, appointed by the City Council, is responsible to the Council for the management of all City employees, except Council appointees, and for the administration of all City affairs.

ii

Austin is nationally recognized as a great place to live due in part to its diverse and eclectic population, as well as its promotion of a year-round outdoor active lifestyle. Austin draws its special character from its physical setting along the Balcones Escarpment, a city wedged between coastal plains and dramatic cliffs, canyons, and juniper- carpeted rolling hills; it exists as a physical and cultural oasis where talented, entrepreneurial, hard-working people are drawn from all over the world. Austin’s quality of life has become its biggest economic development engine, and the City’s diverse demographic structure serves to support and enrich its quality of life. The City of Austin is fortunate to offer a host of broad-ranged educational opportunities for those individuals with a desire to learn. Austin is a highly educated city, with 48% of adults twenty-five years or older holding a bachelor’s or advanced degree, compared to 28% for Texas and 30% for the U.S. as a whole. Higher education is a significant aspect of life in the Austin area which is host to six universities, a robust community college system, and numerous other institutions of higher learning. The University of Texas at Austin (UT), a world-class center of education and research, is the 7th largest public university in terms of undergraduate enrollment. In the 2018 U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges survey, the university was ranked 18th among public universities and its business programs were ranked 5th among national universities, both public and private. Reporting Entity This CAFR includes all funds of the City, including those organizations required to be included because the City is financially accountable for them. The City provides a full range of services, including general government; public safety; transportation, planning, and sustainability; public health; public recreation and culture; urban growth management; electric; water; wastewater; airport; convention; and other enterprise services. In addition, the financial statements include these separate legal entities (and, the fund where reported if different from the entity name): the Austin Housing Finance Corporation (Housing Assistance Fund), the Urban Renewal Agency, the Austin Industrial Development Corporation, the Mueller Local Government Corporation, and the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA) Development Corporation. These entities are reported as governmental activities. Additionally, the financial statements include Austin-Bergstrom Landhost Enterprises, Inc., Austin Convention Enterprises, Inc., and Waller Creek Local Government Corporation. These separate legal entities are reported as discrete component units on the government-wide statements. THE ECONOMIC OUTLOOK AND MAJOR INITIATIVES Local Economy The Austin metropolitan area is consistently recognized among the most inventive, creative, wired, educated, fit, and loved cities in which to live and work. The overall economic activity of the Austin MSA is growing at a brisk rate, 7.4% in 2017 per the Business Cycle Index by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. Austin was ranked as the 2017 Top Metro for Economic Growth Potential by Business Facilities 13th annual rankings report. The report cites Austin as one of the most dynamic and diverse metro economies in the nation and states that Austin “is a thriving cosmopolitan city that has it all including a highly skilled workforce with a demographic up-arrow that points to sustainable growth for years to come.” Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased in the Austin–Round Rock metropolitan area by 4.9% compared to the U.S. average of 1.7%, per the latest report by the Bureau of Economic Analysis based on 2016 data. Growth in the metro area was led by the professional and business services sector. While the Austin economy has diversified over the last decade, the technology industry continues to play a large role in the City’s economic expansion. Various semiconductor companies and leading chip designers with 10,000 to 15,000 jobs call Austin home along with Apple’s 6,000 employees in the metro area. Just south east of downtown, Oracle recently opened their new corporate waterfront campus, a five-story 500,000- square foot facility that will initially house 3,000 tech workers. Oracle also purchased a new 295-unit apartment complex right next to their new corporate campus for use by their employees. Oracle has plans for expansion and recently purchased 6 acres just south of its corporate campus.

Going forward, Austin economic consulting firm, Texas Perspectives, projects the creation of 32,500 jobs in 2018 with personal income expanding in the 6% range. In the real estate area, according to Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2018 published by PricewaterhouseCoopers US and the Urban Land Institute, Austin held the second spot as the top market to watch in 2018. This report is the compilation of interviews and surveys of over 2,000 real estate professionals across all segments of the industry. Some of Austin’s strengths cited in the report include the attractiveness of the market to millennials and the presence of a research university. Nationwide trends identified by the report include the effect of generation Z on future retail and work space, housing shortages, senior housing, and the strength of multifamily markets. Texas Economy – In 2017 the Texas economy expanded due to the energy sector’s increase in oil prices, manufacturing, professional and business sectors, and in the last quarter of the year, the reconstruction efforts on the Texas coast due to Hurricane Harvey. This economic expansion helped the statewide unemployment rate fall to a record low of 3.8% in 2017 with total new non-farm jobs exceeding 278,000. The state added 9% more jobs in energy and 2.8% more in manufacturing. Although unemployment levels have decreased to an all-time low, employee compensation remained stagnant as private hourly earnings have increased 1.1% statewide. Texas hourly wages overall are below the national average by $0.40, although Texas manufacturing jobs paid a 10.5% premium in hourly earnings compared to the national average. With a gross state product of almost $1.6 trillion, the Texas economy is the second largest in the U.S. The long- term outlook for the State remains positive. According to the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University, in 2017 the Texas Leading Economic Index, which measures future directional changes in the business cycle, rose 2.8% after faltering the two previous years. Further, the Texas Consumer Confidence Index jumped 19.6% reflecting this optimism. Employment – Austin area employment growth continued to be solid in 2017. In December 2017, Austin’s unemployment rate of 2.7% was well below the state and national unemployment rates of 3.9% and 4.1%, respectively. 2017 saw a 3.0% growth in job creation despite a tightening labor market in certain fields. Austin has a high demand for skilled workers as seen in the manufacturing sector where Austin manufacturers continue to move from traditional to advanced manufacturing requiring specific highly technical skills. High tech companies are continuing to expand their presence in Austin, including Oracle, Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon. Due to the demand for skilled labor, wages across the metro area increased for a fifth straight year. Job growth in the Austin MSA was ranked sixth along with several other cities when comparing activity in the top 50 metro areas per the U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics. Austin added more than 27,300 net new jobs in 2017.

Sales Taxes – Consumer spending growth (as measured by sales tax collections) reflects Austin’s population and economic growth. Since 2009, sales tax revenue steadily increased. Fiscal year 2017 experienced a 2.9% increase over fiscal year 2016, which was a 4.2% increase over 2015. Lower‐than anticipated growth in fiscal year 2017, despite a continued population influx, evidences the effects of minor gains in real income growth, but it also reflects the growing competitive challenge presented by the expansion of retail developments in Austin’s neighboring communities. Total personal income in the metro area grew 4.5% in 2017 up from 0.9% in 2016.

Tourism - Austin continues to be a destination for both business and recreational activities. Austin is known around the world as the “Live Music Capital of the World” with over 250 live music venues. Per the Downtown Austin Alliance, Austin has over 25.6 million visitors a year with a $7 billion annual economic impact from visitor spending.

Austin is home to a number of popular annual festivals and events many of which bring in visitors from around the world. The Austin Business Journal reports the following official 2017 attendance numbers for the top five events in Austin: (1) Austin City Limits Music Festival held at Zilker Park in the fall had the largest attendance with 450,000 people over two weekends, (2) South by Southwest (SXSW) held in March had 421,900 attendees, (3) Annual Trail of Lights in December had over 400,000 visitors, (4) Formula 1 United States Grand Prix held at the Circuit of Americas just southeast of Austin in October had 269,889 attendees, and (5) Rodeo Austin held at the Travis County Expo Center in March had 263,000 visitors. Other major festivals and events impacting the tourism economy include University of Texas athletic events, Austin Film Festival, Texas Book Festival, RTX Austin Animation & Gaming Experience, and the Statesman Capitol 10K. Austin Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA) set new annual passenger traffic records in each of the last eight years. In 2017, passenger traffic reached 13.9 million, an 11.5% increase compared to 2016. With its live music, barbequed brisket, and breakfast tacos, ABIA was ranked fifth Best Domestic Airport in the 2017 Travel & Leisure readers’ poll. As a result of increased business and tourism travel, ABIA is seeing tremendous growth in international enplanements. As of the end of 2017, ABIA had seven direct international flights. With an increase in international boardings of over 800% between 2012 and 2016, ABIA had the second fastest international growth rate for a medium size U.S. airport. ABIA had multiple expansion projects in 2017 to increase the capacity for global traffic. A new customs and border protection facility at the terminal east has doubled the number of people that can be processed from 200 to 400 per hour. In April 2017, ABIA opened a new $12 million, 30,000 square feet south terminal with 3 new gates. Construction continues on a nine-gate terminal and apron expansion which is expected to be complete in 2019. This expansion will accommodate approximately 4 million additional passengers annually. Another major undertaking is the parking garage and administration building at ABIA. Construction of the 6,000-space garage is underway and should be completed in late 2018. The administration building is in the design phase with a completion scheduled for 2019. With the increase in passenger traffic, a new baggage handling system is in the planning phase to centralize the baggage system and increase capacity. The rate of increase in hotel occupancy tax revenues slowed somewhat from an increase of 7.6% in 2016 to an increase of 4.9% in 2017. While the rate of increase slowed from the last several years, the current growth rate is still a healthy one. Austin has the highest revenue-per-available-room and occupancy rates in the state. High occupancy rates have spurred construction of new hotels across the Austin metro area in the last few years. The Austin Convention and Visitors Bureau estimates that there are over 10,000 hotel rooms within 8 blocks of the Convention Center and 35,000 rooms in the Austin area. In recent years 4,000 hotel rooms have been added to the metro area along with about 2,000 short term rental options. Currently more than 2,000 additional rooms are under construction downtown including a 1,048 room Fairmont Hotel, which is located adjacent to the Austin Convention Center and is slated to open in 2018. With the additional hotel inventory, Austin can accommodate an increase in both number and size of events hosted. The additional inventory is also having a positive impact on the City’s convention center. Medical School – The partnership between the University of Texas at Austin, Ascension Seton Healthcare Family, (Seton), and Central Health is progressing as the Dell Medical School has now been in operation since June 2016 when it accepted its first class. The associated teaching hospital, Dell Seton Medical Center at The University of Texas opened in May 2017. This 211-bed cutting-edge hospital and Level 1 Trauma Center is built, owned, and operated by Seton. The medical school and medical center anchor a new healthcare innovation zone in downtown Austin which is expected to spur growth in the life sciences sector of the economy. The innovation hub will pair science and technology entities and serve as an anchor for healthcare businesses.

In 2017, several bio and life-sciences sector companies have relocated to Austin including Merck who is opening an IT Hub with offices on the medical school campus. In addition, the Association of British Healthcare Industries has established an innovation hub at the medical school to offer companies in the United Kingdom the opportunity to locate at this world-class facility. Central Health is in the process of redeveloping the grounds of the former Brackenridge hospital into a medical and commercial district with up to 3.7 million square feet of offices, medical facilities, shops, and residences, all adjacent to the medical school campus. Real Estate - All sectors of the real estate market are performing well. The Austin residential market is still strong

with an increase in sales of 2.5% in 2017 over 2016. As of December 2017, the median price of an Austin home increased to an all-time high of $362,000, a 27% increase from the previous year of $284,000. Austin’s housing market is experiencing an inventory shortage of homes in the $200,000 to $300,000 price range as is the case across the state. Austin homebuilders are adding “value” lines and smaller homes to capture that market share. More than half of new home construction starts during 2017 were priced below $300,000 according to Metrostudy. Homebuilders are starting more homes than they have in the past ten years but are encountering longer construction timelines with permitting delays and labor shortages as a result of natural disasters such as Hurricane Harvey.

Housing in Downtown Austin has grown in popularity. There are now approximately 8,900 units for lease or purchase in downtown Austin with more condo and apartment developments in various phases of planning and construction. The tallest current residential condo property is The Austonian condo tower with 56 stories and 188 units. The Independent, a 58-story condo, currently under construction, is slated for completion in 2019. The National Low-Income Housing Coalition reports housing rental rates are high in Travis County which are at the upper end of housing costs in the state. Recent years have seen aggressive construction of new apartment units in the area, and as a result, Austin apartment renters have started to see rent prices level off as supply begins to catch up with demand. Apartment rents have increased on average 1.4% in 2017 compared to an annual average of 5.8% for the previous five years. This slow growth in apartment rental rates could be short lived as the planned construction of new apartments may not be able to keep up with the expected job growth in the metro area. Commercial real estate continues to grow in Austin as indicated by the number of cranes in the City skyline. The Austin metro area has seen the overall commercial vacancy rate drop to a 16-year low of 8.8%. This has impacted both rental rates and new construction. Class A office space rent averaged $39.09 per square foot in 2017 up from $36.95 per square foot in 2016 according to Cushman & Wakefield’s Austin office. At the end of 2017, there was about 2.7 million square feet of new office space under construction in the Austin metro area. The demand for Class A office space in the central business district (CBD) has been particularly high as more companies are expanding their presence in the downtown area. As a result, Austin has the most expensive commercial CBD rental rates in the state of Texas and is 5th in the nation, behind only Boston, San Francisco, New York City, and Washington DC. Rents for Class A space in this area averaged more than $54 per square foot at the end of 2017. The largest multi-tenant office buildings in downtown Austin are the Frost Bank Tower, One Congress Plaza, One American Center, and the 500 West 2nd - all with greater than 500,000 square feet of rentable space. There are plans for several new mixed use high rise buildings in downtown Austin to meet this demand. Developers are planning what would be Austin’s tallest building at over 60 stories with more than 500,000 square feet of office space and 300 luxury apartments at 600 Guadalupe. At 308 Guadalupe, one of the largest undeveloped lots in the CBD, a vertical mixed-use center with about 10% of the housing set up as low- and moderate-income residences is in the planning phase.

During the development of both the annual and capital improvement budgets, Imagine Austin is a consideration in how resources are allocated. Strategic Plan In addition to Imagine Austin, in the spring of 2017 the City Council selected six strategic outcomes to help develop and guide City policies, initiatives, and budget development. The six strategic outcomes are:

 Mobility - getting us where we want to go, when we want to get there, safely and cost effectively;  Economic Opportunity and Affordability - having economic opportunities and resources that enable us to

thrive in our community;  Safety - being safe in our home, at work, and in our community;  Health - enjoying a sustainable environment and a healthy life, physically and mentally;  Cultural and Learning Opportunities - being enriched by Austin’s unique civic, cultural, ethnic, and learning

opportunities; and  Government that Works for All of Us - believing that city government works effectively and collaboratively

for all of us--that is equitable, ethical and innovative.

Mobility - In November 2016, Austinites approved a $720 million general obligation bond proposition to fund transportation and mobility improvements. Approximately two-thirds of the funding will be devoted to corridor improvement projects with the remainder earmarked for regional and local improvements including bicycle and pedestrian facilities and safety. The capital spending plan for 2018 includes $60.4 million for mobility projects including improvements to the FM620/RM2222 intersection, design for corridor improvements, safety improvements at several intersections, and infrastructure improvements for the Safe Routes to Schools program. Progress continues on several joint interchange projects along Interstate 35 with the Texas Department of Transportation, one of the City’s regional partners. In addition to projects, the City is updating its transportation plan to expand the vision of the Imagine Austin plan into actionable mobility-related goals to guide future transportation investments. Economic Opportunity and Affordability - Affordability is a prime consideration as the City makes decisions that impact the citizens who live here and the businesses that operate here. Whether setting taxes or utility rates, taking actions that provide affordable housing, or providing services and programs to the underprivileged members of the community, affordability is always part of the discussion. For 2018 there were no base rate increases for five of the City’s seven rate assessing enterprise departments. Notably, for the first time in more than a decade, Austin Water customers will experience no rate increase. Housing affordability is increasingly an issue in a region where housing costs have been rising at a brisk pace and the impact is felt the most by those in the service, music, and creative areas. Since 2006, the median sales price of a home increased almost 63% gradually pricing more and more families out of the home buying market. In April 2017, the City Council passed the Strategic Housing Blueprint which calls for an additional 60,000 affordable housing units to be created by both public and private development in Austin by 2027. The 2018 budget includes more than $20 million for housing development, home repair services, and permanent supportive housing in Neighborhood Housing and Community Development. Notable projects include a 50-unit permanent supportive housing facility, a 125-unit affordable apartment complex, and $3 million to renovate an independent living facility for seniors and people with disabilities. Safety – In addition to the traffic safety enhancements previously mentioned, in 2018 funding is provided for additional positions in Austin Code for enforcement. In addition, all of the public safety departments received additional funding for either positions or enhancements. Watershed Protection is continuing to buyout properties in sections of town that have a high risk of flooding. Health – Funding was provided for adding staff to the aquatics program to comply with new Texas legal requirements for pool safety, for a new joint-use recreation and community center to be developed in the Montopolis neighborhood, and for the operation of a new sobriety center. Fleet Services is in the first phases of installing charging stations for the City’s growing fleet of electric vehicles. In addition, several departments received awards for their sustainability efforts:

 Watershed Protection Department was awarded the prestigious MS4 award in November 2017 for having the best, large city Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System.

 The City of Austin ranked fifth in the nation among local government purchasers of energy produced by renewable sources per the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In 2017 Austin Energy purchased an additional 200 megawatts (MW) of wind power and the output of a 150-megawatt solar power plant bringing total wind and solar power under contract to 1,300 MW and 792 MW respectively.

 In April 2017, the EPA awarded Austin Energy its 11th ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Energy Efficiency Program Delivery Award for 2017 for the utility’s Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® program which will allow Austin Energy to save 1,535 megawatt hours of electricity annually.

Cultural and Learning Opportunities - The City’s world class new central library opened in October 2017. The new library overlooks Shoal Creek and Lady Bird Lake and is a main attraction in the redeveloped Seaholm district. Among other things, this “library for the future” features flexible and blended spaces, state-of-the-art technology, sustainable features, and community gathering places. Government that Works - CodeNEXT, a major revision of the City’s land development code which determines how land can be used throughout the City, is in the final stages of being completed. After publishing several drafts and receiving input from all interested parties, a third draft was recently released. A final recommendation from the land use commissions is anticipated in the spring and final adoption of the plan is expected in 2018.

The City established a new Equity Office to build and sustain a culture of equity across the City, help the City remain engaged with residents, meet community needs effectively, and minimize unintended consequences and biases in its decision making. Austin 3-1-1 achieved ISO standard certification, becoming the first 3-1-1 center in the nation to be ISO 9001:2015 certified. ISO, the International Organization for Standardization, is a world-renowned and recognized international body that standardizes how businesses and organizations manage information and processes based on quality management principles. FINANCIAL INFORMATION Internal Controls City management is responsible for establishing, implementing, and maintaining a framework of internal controls designed to ensure that City assets are protected from loss, theft, or misuse and to ensure that adequate accounting data is compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The system of internal control is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived, and the evaluation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. Financial Policies The City adopted a comprehensive set of Financial Policies to ensure that the City’s financial resources are managed in a prudent manner and to provide a foundation for financial sustainability. Compliance with these policies is reviewed annually as part of the budget process. The policies and results of the review are published in the Approved Budget document. An important element of the policies dictates that current revenue will be sufficient to support current expenditures (defined as “structural balance”). Assigned and unassigned fund balances in excess of what is required shall normally be used to fund capital items. The City maintains the goal of a structurally balanced budget to achieve long-term financial stability for the Austin community. Long-term Financial Planning Austin leaders are continually looking towards and planning for the future. A key City financial policy requires annual preparation of a five-year financial forecast projecting revenues and expenditures for all operating funds. This forecast is used as a tool to develop the following year's operating budget. In addition, the City annually prepares a five-year Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Plan that outlines all capital projects in progress, those that will be implemented in the five-year horizon, and related funding sources. A second plan covering a 10-year planning horizon, the Long-Range CIP Strategic Plan, is also updated annually. This plan provides a data-driven approach to planning for how the City’s future capital improvements support the way Austin functions and grows. Such an approach assists in aligning the City’s CIP investments with the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan and the Council’s new strategic priorities as the City strives to strike a balance between ongoing capital needs necessary to maintain services for a rapidly growing community and strategic investments that support community priorities. City departments prepare a number of other long- and mid- range service plans that provide input into decisions made in the planning and budgeting process. These plans range from annexation to clean energy and climate protection to strategic mobility planning. A brief summary of these planning documents can be found in the Integrated Planning section of Volume 2 of the City’s approved budget. Maintaining sound financial and economic development policies within the City organization allows for a high level of services to the community. Because of consistent adherence to our financial policies and the area’s healthy economy, the City’s bond ratings for General Obligation bonds continue to be “AAA” for all three bond rating agencies, Moody’s (Aaa), Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Investors. Austin Energy’s ratings were upgraded by two of the three rating agencies. Moody’s ratings are now Aa3 and Standard & Poor’s are now AA Stable. Both agencies cited continuing advancement in financial performance even while base revenue has been reduced. Fitch ratings remained constant at AA- Stable. Finally, Standard & Poor’s increased their rating for the Convention Center’s revenue bonds and subordinate bonds from AA- to AA and A to A+, respectively.

ix

Budgetary Control The annual operating budget is proposed by the City Manager and approved by the City Council after public discussion. Annual budgets are legally required for the General Fund, debt service funds, and certain special revenue funds. While not legally required, annual budgets are also adopted for the enterprise and internal service funds. Annual updates to the Capital Improvements Program budgets follow a similar process. Multi-year budgets are adopted for capital projects and grant funds. Throughout the year, primary responsibility for fiscal analysis of budget to actual expense or revenue and overall program fiscal standing rests with the department operating the program. The City Manager is authorized to transfer appropriation balances within a fund and department of the City. The City Council must approve amendments to the budget and transfers of appropriations from one fund and department to another. As demonstrated by the statements and schedules included in the 2017 CAFR, the City continues to meet its responsibility for sound financial management. Budgetary Information The 2018 Budget was developed in a manner true to the City’s unwavering commitment to openness, transparency, and public engagement. The City’s Budget is organized around activities and services. The budget development process integrates collaborative approach to the City’s finances with business planning, performance measurement, and resident input, thereby elevating budget discussions to meaningful conversations about outcomes that impact our residents. This budget cycle set aside $5 million to address new strategic priorities of the City Council. Input was gathered and evaluated to address the many issues, concerns, and priorities identified by Austin’s citizens, employees, boards and commissions, and Councilmembers. The result was a budget built around the ideals of livability, affordability, and inclusivity that dictate the operations of Austin’s city government. The structurally balanced fiscal year 2018 Approved Budget totals $3.9 billion and includes $1 billion for the General Fund, providing for the continuation of high-quality public safety, health, library, parks, water, energy, infrastructure, development, and other services to the citizens of Austin. Austin budgeted revenue comes from utility charges (49%), various taxes (including property) (24%), charges for services and goods (14%), and other revenue such as interest, fees, and transfers (13%). The 2018 budget was approved with a 0.3 cent increase to the property tax rate, from 44.18 to 44.48 cents per $100 of taxable value. The City’s largest enterprise department, Austin Energy, is the eighth largest municipal-owned electric utility in the United States in terms of customers served. Austin Energy serves more than 465,000 customers within a service territory of approximately 437 square miles in the Greater Austin area. The approved budget for fiscal year 2018 is $1.4 billion in annual revenues, including transfers. The utility has a diverse generation mix that includes nuclear, coal, natural gas, and an increasing portfolio of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. The City’s second largest enterprise activity is the Austin Water Utility, which provides water and wastewater services to more than one million retail and wholesale customers spanning more than 540 square miles within Austin and surrounding areas. The fiscal year 2018 budget projects revenues and transfers in of $624 million. For the first time in several years, the utility has a zero‐percent rate increase for water and wastewater services for 2018. Growth in revenue is the result of projected customer growth and higher water consumption projections. AWARDS The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awards a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to a governmental unit that publishes a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report that meets the GFOA program standards. The GFOA awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City for its 2016 CAFR. The City has received this award for 10 consecutive years. The certificate is valid for a period of one year only. City management believes that this 2017 CAFR conforms to the Certificate of Achievement Program requirements, and we are submitting it to the GFOA for review. The City also received the GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation award for the 2017 budget as well as a 2017 Certificate of Excellence in Performance Measurement from the ICMA.

FINANCIAL SECTION

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council, City of Austin, Texas

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Austin, Texas (the “City”), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2017, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the financial statements of discretely presented component units which represent 100% of the assets, net position, and revenues of the discretely presented component units. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports, one of which (Austin Bergstrom Landhost Enterprises) contains an emphasis of matter paragraph related to a going concern issue, have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the discretely presented component units, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Opinions

In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Austin, Texas, as of September 30, 2017, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Other Matters

Required Supplementary Information

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, the General Fund—Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances—Budget and Actual—Budget Basis, the Retirement Plans—Trend Information, and the Other Postemployment Benefits—Trend Information, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. 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 and the other auditors 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 Information

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and supplemental schedules and the introductory and statistical sections are 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 supplemental 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 by us and other auditors. In our opinion, based on our audit, the procedures performed as described above, and the reports of the other auditors, the

3

combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and supplemental schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis City of Austin, Texas September 30, 2017 2/26/2018 2:58 PM

The Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) section of the City of Austin’s (the City) Comprehensive Annual Financial Report presents a narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for local governments as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The City has implemented GASB Statements No. 1 through No. 74, No. 76 through No. 80, and No. 82. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Government-wide financial statements The assets of the City exceeded its liabilities at the end of the fiscal year 2017, resulting in $4.4 billion of net position. Net position associated with governmental activities is approximately $0.5 billion, or 10.3% of total net position, while the net position associated with business-type activities is approximately $4.0 billion, or 89.7% of the total net position of the City. The largest portion of net position consists of net investment in capital assets, which is $4.1 billion, or 91.8% of total net position. The City’s unrestricted net position is a deficit of $478.3 million. Unrestricted net position for governmental activities is a deficit of $1.4 billion, while unrestricted net position for business-type activities is approximately $915.8 million, or 23.0% of total business- type net position. The deficit in governmental unrestricted net position is largely due to the net pension liability of $1.2 billion and other postemployment benefits payable of $631.2 million. During fiscal year 2017, total net position for the City of Austin increased $121.0 million or 2.8%. Of this amount, governmental activities decreased $177.6 million, or 28.1% from the previous year and business-type activities increased $298.5 million, or 8.1%. Total revenues for the City increased $111.6 million; revenues for governmental activities increased $25.2 million; revenues for business-type activities increased $86.4 million. Total expenses for the City increased $213.5 million; expenses for governmental activities increased $92.5 million; expenses for business-type activities increased $121.0 million. OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements, consisting of three components:

 government-wide financial statements,  fund financial statements, and  notes to the financial statements.

This report also contains required supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements. a -- 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 comparable to a private-sector business. The two government-wide financial statements are, as follows:  The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and

deferred inflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City of Austin is improving or deteriorating.

 The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the City’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal

year. All 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 for uncollected taxes and expenses for future general obligation debt payments. The statement includes the annual depreciation for infrastructure and governmental assets.

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; public safety; transportation, planning and sustainability; public health; public recreation and culture; and urban growth management. The business-type activities include electric, water, wastewater, airport, convention, environmental and health services, public recreation, and urban growth management.

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued The government-wide financial statements include the City as well as blended component units: the Austin Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC), the Austin Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC), Mueller Local Government Corporation (MLGC), Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA) Development Corporation, and the Urban Renewal Agency (URA). The operations of AHFC, AIDC, MLGC, ABIA, and URA are included within the governmental activities of the government-wide financial statements. AHFC is reported as the Housing Assistance Fund. Although legally separate from the City, these component units are blended with the City because of their governance or financial relationships to the City. The government-wide financial statements also include three discretely presented component units: Austin-Bergstrom Landhost Enterprises, Inc. (ABLE), Austin Convention Enterprises, Inc. (ACE), and Waller Creek Local Government Corporation (WCLGC). These entities are legally separate entities that do not meet the GASB reporting requirements for inclusion as part of the City’s operations; therefore, data from these units are shown separately from data of the City. More information on these entities can be found in Note 1, including how to get a copy of separately audited financial statements for ACE and ABLE. WCLGC activities are recorded in the City’s financial system and City staff prepares the financial reports for this entity. b -- Fund financial statements The fund financial statements are designed to report information about groupings of related accounts 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. All of the funds of the City can be divided into the following three categories: governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary funds. Within the governmental and proprietary categories, the emphasis is on the major funds. Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. Most of the City’s basic services are reported in governmental funds. These funds focus on current sources and uses of liquid resources and on the balances of available resources at the end of the fiscal year. This information may be useful in determining what financial resources are available in the near term to finance the City’s future obligations. Because the focus of governmental fund level statements is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented in the government-wide statements. In addition to the governmental funds balance sheet and statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance, separate statements are provided that reconcile between the government-wide and fund level financial statements. The City’s General Fund is reported as a major fund and information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances. In addition, the City maintains several individual governmental funds organized according to their type (special revenue, debt service, capital projects, and permanent funds). Data from these governmental funds are combined into a single column labeled nonmajor governmental funds. Individual fund data for the funds is provided in the form of combining statements in the supplementary section of this report. 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 fund statements provide the same type of information 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 three of the City’s major funds, Austin EnergyTM, Austin Water Utility, and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (Airport), as well as the nonmajor enterprise funds.

 Internal Service funds are used to report activities that provide supplies and services for many City programs and

activities. The City’s internal service funds include: Capital Projects Management; Combined Transportation, Emergency and Communications Center (CTECC); Employee Benefits; Fleet Maintenance; Information Systems; Liability Reserve; Support Services; Wireless Communication; and Workers’ Compensation. Because these services predominantly benefit governmental operations rather than business-type functions, they have been included in governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued The nonmajor enterprise funds and the internal service funds are combined into separately aggregated presentations in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the funds are provided in the form of combining statements in the supplementary section of this report. Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside City government. Since the resources of fiduciary funds are not available to support the City’s own programs, they are not reflected in the government- wide financial statements. The accounting policies applied to fiduciary funds are much like those used for proprietary funds. Comparison of government-wide and fund financial components. The following chart compares how the City’s funds are included in the government-wide and fund financial statements:

Fund Types/Other Government-wide Fund Financials General Fund Governmental Governmental - Major Special revenue funds Governmental Governmental - Nonmajor Debt service funds Governmental Governmental - Nonmajor Capital projects funds Governmental Governmental - Nonmajor Permanent funds Governmental Governmental - Nonmajor Internal service funds Governmental Proprietary Governmental capital assets, including

Basis of reporting -- The government-wide statements and fund-level proprietary statements are reported using the flow of economic resources measurement focus and the full accrual basis of accounting. The governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. c -- Notes to the financial statements The notes to the financial statements provide additional information that is essential to fully understanding the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. d -- Other information The Required Supplementary Information (RSI) section immediately follows the basic financial statements and related notes section of this report. The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for the General Fund plus nine separately budgeted activities, all of which comprise the General Fund for GAAP reporting. RSI provides a comparison of revenues, expenditures and other financing sources and uses to budget and demonstrates budgetary compliance. In addition, trend information related to the City’s retirement and other postemployment benefits plans is presented in RSI. Following the RSI are other statements and schedules, including the combining statements for nonmajor governmental and enterprise funds, internal service funds, and fiduciary funds.

Condensed Statement of Net Position

Governmental Activities

Business-Type Activities Total

In the current fiscal year, total assets increased $880.6 million and deferred outflows of the City decreased by $103.9 million. Total liabilities increased $583.5 million and deferred inflows increased by $72.2 million. Governmental-type total assets increased by $111.1 million and business-type increased by $769.5 million, while governmental-type liabilities increased by $256.2 million and business-type increased by $327.3 million. The most significant increase in governmental total assets resulted from an increase in capital assets of $50.7 million as the City continues to build out projects from the 2012 bond program. Factors in the increase of governmental-type liabilities include increases in bonds payable of $60.3 million, related primarily to the 2012 and 2016 bond programs along with increases in the net pension liability of $78.1 million and other postemployment benefits payable of $93.3 million. The most significant factor in the increase of business-type total assets is related to growth in capital assets of $216.2 million or 28.1% of the increase in business-type total assets. The primary factors in the increase in business-type total liabilities of $327.3 million include an increase in long term debt of $298.8 million and an increase in other postemployment benefits of $54.4 million.

As noted earlier, net position may serve as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. For the City, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $4.4 billion at the end of the current fiscal year. However, the largest portion of the City’s net position is represented in the net investment in capital assets (e.g. land, buildings, and equipment offset by related debt), which is $4.1 billion, or 91.8% of the total amount of the City’s net position. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens. Capital assets are generally not highly liquid; consequently, they are not considered future available resources. 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.

An additional portion, $843.0 million of the City’s net position, represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used in the future. The remaining balance is a deficit of $478.3 million of unrestricted net position. Unrestricted net position decreased $3.9 million in the current fiscal year. At the end of the current fiscal year, the City is able to report positive balances in all three categories of net position for business- type activities. However, governmental activities as well as the government as a whole report a deficit of $1.4 billion and $478.3 million for unrestricted net position, respectively.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT-WIDE STATEMENTS, continued c -- Program revenues and expenses -- governmental activities Governmental activities decreased the City’s net position by $177.6 million in fiscal year 2017, a 28.1% decrease of governmental net position from the previous year. Key factors for the change from fiscal year 2016 to 2017 are as follows:

 The City’s property tax revenue increased by $47.1 million from the previous year due to an increase in assessed property values of $15 billion, while the property tax rate per $100 of valuation decreased from 0.4589 to 0.4418.

 Sales tax collections and franchise fees for the year were $6.2 million and $3.9 million, respectively, more than the prior year as result of the continued improvement in the Austin economy.

 Increases in pension expense and other postemployment benefit expense are the primary drivers for increased expenses in public safety ($61.2 million) and public health ($19.1 million). Public safety expenses included an additional $32 million in pension expense and $19 million in other postemployment benefit expenses with the remainder primarily due to salary and fringe benefit increases as a result of the addition of 141 full time equivalents (FTE). Public health expenses included an additional $6 million in pension expenses and $5 million in other postemployment benefits expenses with the remainder primarily due to increases in social service contracts.

 Indian Hills Public Improvement District and Whisper Valley Public Improvement District paid off special assessment subordinate bonds in 2016 in the amount of $14.9 million and $1.3 million respectively, which is the primary reason for the decrease in expense in urban growth management of $22.9 million in 2017.

The chart below illustrates the City’s governmental expense and revenues by function: general government; public safety; transportation, planning and sustainability; public health; public recreation and culture; urban growth management; and interest on debt.

d -- Program revenues and expenses -- business-type activities Business-type activities increased the City’s net position by approximately $298.5 million, accounting for a 6.9% increase in the City’s total net position. Key factors include:

 Austin Energy net position increased approximately $21.7 million. Operating revenues decreased primarily due to the base rate reduction offset by increased power supply and regulatory revenue. Operating expenses increased primarily due to transmission and power supply costs.

 Austin Water Utility net position increased approximately $123.3 million. Revenues increased 5.3% largely due to a combined utility rate increase of 3.0% for fiscal year 2017. Expenses increased by 3.9% due to an increase in operating and maintenance costs.

 Airport net position increased approximately $38.8 million. Revenues increased 18.6% due to an increase in passenger traffic and higher rental and landing fees. Passenger traffic increased 8.0% over the previous year. Expenses increased 16.9% due to an increase in operating and maintenance costs and interest expense on debt service.

 Convention Center net position increased approximately $41.4 million. Revenues and transfers from the Hotel Occupancy and Vehicle Rental Tax Funds increased 9.7% due to additional hotels put in service causing an increase in total room nights as well as growth of large events. Expenses increased 18.1% due to an increase in operating costs, pension expense, and other postemployment benefits.

 Environmental and health services activities is comprised of the Austin Resource Recovery nonmajor enterprise fund. Net position increased approximately $11.0 million. Revenues increased by 5.8% due mainly to an increase in the Clean Community Fee of $0.40 per residential account and $1.75 per commercial customer account and an increase to the base customer charge of $1.00. Expenses increased by 5.5% due mainly to an increase in operations and support services costs.

 Urban growth management activities are comprised of the Drainage and Transportation nonmajor enterprise funds. Net position increased by approximately $63.6 million. Drainage revenues and transfers increased 36.3% primarily due to a $50 million transfer for home buyouts. Drainage expenses remained relatively flat. Transportation revenues increased approximately 23.2% primarily due to an increase in the Transportation User Fee of $1.75 per single-family home as well as an increase in the number of hours charged for parking in the downtown area. Transportation expenses increased 15.3% due to an increase in operations and support services costs.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT’S FUND LEVEL STATEMENTS In comparison to the government-wide statements, the fund-level statements focus on the key funds of the City. The City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. a -- Governmental funds The City reports the following types of governmental funds: the general fund, special revenue funds, debt service funds, capital projects funds, and permanent funds. The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and available resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available at the end of the fiscal year. At the end of the fiscal year, the City of Austin’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $512.4 million, an increase of $28.5 million from the previous year. Approximately $1.8 million is nonspendable, $214.6 million is restricted, $40.7 million is committed, $139.3 million is assigned, and $116.1 million is unassigned. The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current fiscal year, the General Fund reported nonspendable fund balance of $0.7 million, assigned fund balance of $29.6 million, and unassigned fund balance of $141.5 million. As a measure of the General Fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unassigned fund balance represents 14.5% of total General Fund expenditures of $976.0 million, and total fund balance represents 17.6% of expenditures. The City’s financial policies provide that surplus fund balance be identified for budget stabilization. This amount is a component of unassigned fund balance. The fund balance identified for budget stabilization was $76.0 million. The balance identified for budget stabilization may be appropriated to fund capital or other one- time expenditures in the subsequent fiscal year, but such appropriation will not normally exceed one-third of the total identified amount, with the other two-thirds identified for budget stabilization in future years. The fund balance of the General Fund increased $10.8 million during the fiscal year. Significant differences from the previous year include:

 Property tax revenues increased $33.0 million due to an increase in assessed property values.  Licenses, permits, and inspections increased $13.6 million, and sales tax revenues increased by $6.2 million.

General Fund expenditures increased $43.8 million, due primarily to increases in the following areas: public safety ($16.2 million), general government ($9.5 million), public health ($8.1 million), public recreation and culture ($6.9 million), and urban growth management ($3.4 million). These increases are primarily due to a 2.5% general wage increase for non-sworn employees and a 2% general wage increase for sworn Police, Fire, and EMS employees, the addition of 195 FTE’s, and increases in contractual expenditures. b -- Proprietary funds The City’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the business-type activities of the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. Overall, net position of the City’s enterprise funds increased by $286.4 million before consolidation of the internal service funds activities. Factors that contributed to the increase in net position are discussed in the business-type activities section of the government-wide section. OTHER INFORMATION a -- General Fund budgetary highlights The original revenue budget of the General Fund was not amended during fiscal year 2017. The original expenditure budget of the General Fund was amended during fiscal year 2017 to increase expenditures for the addition of one full time position to the Fire department for assignment at the Airport. Airport will reimburse the Fire department for the cost of this position, budgeted at $83,000. The net impact to the General Fund was $0 with the addition of the one FTE. The expenditure budget was also increased by $3.5 million for overtime in the Fire department due to staffing shortages. This amount was appropriated from the Budget Stabilization Reserve. During the year, actual budget basis revenues were $4.5 million more than budgeted. Licenses, permits and inspections were $10.3 million more than budgeted due to higher fees, and larger than anticipated inspection volume. This was offset partly by $5.4 million in lower than budgeted sales tax collections.

OTHER INFORMATION, continued Actual budget-basis expenditures were $13.0 million less than budgeted. All departments were under budget. Police and EMS were under budget by $3.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively, due primarily to salary savings from regular position vacancies. Fire was under budget by $1.5 million largely due to lower than expected equipment replacement and maintenance costs. Library was under budget by $1.9 million largely due to salary and contractual expense savings caused by the delayed opening of the new central library. Other urban growth management was $2.1 million under budget due primarily to lower contractual expenses as a result of agreements not realized. The total budget-basis fund balance at year-end was $174.9 million. b -- Capital assets The City’s capital assets for governmental and business-type activities as of September 30, 2017, total $10.9 billion (net of accumulated depreciation and amortization). Capital assets include buildings and improvements, equipment, vehicles, electric plant, non-electric plant, nuclear fuel, water rights, infrastructure, land, construction in progress, and plant held for future use. The total increase in the City’s capital assets for the current fiscal year was $266.9 million, with an increase of 1.8% for governmental activities and an increase of 2.8% for business-type activities. Additional information on capital assets can be found in Note 5. Capital asset balances are as follows:

During fiscal year 2017, the City’s total outstanding debt increased by $358.6 million. The City issued new debt, used cash to defease debt and refinanced portions of existing debt to achieve lower borrowing costs. Debt issues include the following:

 Bond debt for governmental activities increased by $60.3 million. The resulting net increase is a combination of the issuance of $185.6 million in new debt to be used primarily for facility improvements, streets and mobility, drainage improvements, watershed home buyouts, central library, parks and recreation, capital equipment, transportation projects, affordable housing and the Seaholm garage, offset by the refunding portion of the issuance of $63.6 million and debt payments during the year.

 Outstanding debt for business-type functions increased by $298.3 million. The City issued $101.6 of Electric Utility

System separate lien revenue refunding bonds to refund separate lien debt, $20.4 million in Water and Wastewater System revenue bonds, $311.1 million in Water and Wastewater System separate lien revenue refunding bonds to refund separate lien debt and tax-exempt commercial paper, $315.0 million in Airport System revenue bonds, $29.1 million of Convention Center revenue refunding bonds to refund prior lien debt, all of which was offset by debt payments during the year and the cash defeasance of $19.7 million in Water and Wastewater separate lien revenue bonds.

The Austin metro area is the fastest growing metro in the US for its size. Over the past 10 years, Austin’s population has increased by approximately 26.8% or nearly 200,000 residents, with projections of the City surpassing the 1 million mark by the year 2020. Both the Austin and the Texas economies continue to expand at rates above the national economy. Job growth in the Austin MSA was ranked sixth along with several other cities when comparing activity in the top 50 metro areas per the US Bureau of Labor statistics. Austin added more than 27,300 net new jobs in 2017. The unemployment rate for the Austin-Round Rock MSA reached a low of 2.7%, while the state unemployment rate fell to 3.9% in 2017; the national unemployment was 4.1%. The City’s primary economic drivers which in the past have included the technology industry, business startups and growth of entrepreneurial business, and tourism, continue to diversify with the opening of the Dell Seton Medical Center. The medical center includes a medical school, teaching hospital, and innovation zone that is expected to foster health care research and development. All of these factors are expected to continue to generate job growth. All sectors of the real estate market continue to perform well. The Austin residential market experienced an increase in sales of 2.5% in 2017 over 2016, with housing in the downtown area growing in popularity. In 2017, sales tax revenue increased 2.9% over the previous year, compared to a 4.2% increase in 2016 and 7.7% increase in 2015, an indicator that the economy is slowing to more normal and sustainable levels. For 2018, the rate of growth in sales tax collections is expected to be 3%. Overall, the Austin economy is expected to continue to grow at a steady pace barring any events at the national or international level that would have an adverse impact.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis City of Austin, Texas September 30, 2017 3/1/2018 3:51 PM (Continued)

OTHER INFORMATION, continued The City’s fiscal year 2018 budget was developed in a manner true to City Management’s unwavering commitment to openness, transparency, and public engagement; a process that has been refined over time and centered this year on heightened levels of collaboration between the community, city staff, management, and the City Council. The overriding goal of the 2018 budget process was to align department budgets to Council’s priorities with particular focus on the Council’s six strategic outcomes for the City: Mobility, Economic Opportunity and Affordability, Safety, Health, Cultural and Learning Opportunities, and Government that Works. Each year during the budget process, the Austin City Council adopts a comprehensive set of financial policies that provide the foundation for long-range financial sustainability. These financial policies are directly aligned with the Council’s underlying goals of budget stability, maintaining affordability, investing in future economic development, infrastructure needs, and quality of life. These policies are also crucial in maintaining the City’s favorable bond ratings; the City had ratings upgrades for three separate debt instruments in 2017. City management continues to monitor the economy and take corrective actions when necessary to help mitigate any unfavorable economic events. The taxable property values within the City increased by 11.2% in 2017 for fiscal year 2018. The property tax rate for fiscal year 2018 is 44.48 cents per $100 valuation, up from 44.18 cents per $100 valuation in 2017. The tax rate consists of 33.93 cents for the General Fund and 10.55 cents for debt service. Each 1 cent of the 2017 (fiscal year 2018) property tax rate is equivalent to $13,942,501 of tax levy, as compared to $12,371,655 in the previous year. Austin Energy’s 2018 base rates also remain unchanged from the prior fiscal year due to a cost of service study that was completed and approved by the City Council in August 2016. For the past several years, Austin Water has been working to strengthen its financial position and reduce the need for annual rate increases; subsequently, the utility submitted its Fiscal Year 2018 budget with a zero percent rate increase. e -- Requests for Information This financial report is designed to provide our citizens, taxpayers, customers, investors, and creditors with a general overview of the City’s finances and to demonstrate the City’s accountability for the money it receives.

Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which capital outlays exceeded depreciation in the current period.

Capital outlay 108,801 Depreciation expense (124,393) Loss on disposal of capital assets (3,104)

The issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds, leases) provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. Also, governmental funds report the effect of premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities. This amount is the net effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term debt and related items.

1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The City of Austin, Texas (the City) is a municipal corporation incorporated under Article XI, Section 5 of the Constitution of the State of Texas (Home Rule Amendment). The City operates under a Council-Manager form of government. The City Council is composed of a Mayor who is elected at large and ten Councilmembers who are elected by geographic district, all of whom serve four-year staggered terms subject to a maximum of two consecutive terms. A petition signed by 5% of the registered voters waives the term limit for a member of the City Council. The City’s major activities or programs include general government; public safety; transportation, planning, and sustainability; public health; public recreation and culture; and urban growth management. In addition, the City owns and operates certain major enterprise activities including an electric utility, water and wastewater utility, airport, and non-major enterprise activities including convention, environmental and health services, public recreation, and urban growth management activities. These activities are included in the accompanying financial statements. The City of Austin’s charter requires an annual audit by an independent certified public accountant. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for local governments as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The City has implemented GASB Statements No. 1 through No. 74, No. 76 through No. 80, and No. 82. In fiscal year 2017, the City implemented the following GASB Statements:

GASB Statement Impact 74 – “Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other Than Pension Plans”

This statement is directed at administrators of stand- alone postemployment benefit plans and as such does not apply to the City. The companion statement, GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other than Pensions, is effective for the City in fiscal year 2018. The City is assessing the impact of GASB Statement No. 75 on its financial report.

77 – “Tax Abatement Disclosures”

This statement establishes financial reporting standards for tax abatement agreements entered into by state and local governments that result in a reduction of revenue. This statement requires additional information be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. See Note 13.

78 – “Pensions Provided through Certain Multiple-Employer Defined Benefit Plans”

This statement does not apply to the City as this statement is directed at multiple-employer plans. The City’s pension plans are single-employer plans.

80 – “Blending Requirements for Certain Component Units” This statement amends the blending requirements of component units by adding an additional criterion requiring blending of a component unit incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation in which the primary government is the sole corporate member. The implementation of this standard had no impact on amounts reported in the financial statements.

The more significant accounting and reporting policies and practices used by the City are described below. As a local government, the City is not subject to federal income taxes, under the Internal Revenue Code Section 115. Furthermore, it is not subject to state sales tax. a -- Reporting Entity These financial statements present the City’s primary government, its component units, and other entities for which the City is considered financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are in substance, part of the City’s operations; therefore, data from these units are combined with data of the City. Discrete component units are legally separate entities that are not considered part of the City’s operations; therefore, data from these units are shown separately from data of the City.

URA exclusively receives financial support/benefits from its relationship with the City. Reporting Fund: Urban Renewal Agency fund, a nonmajor special revenue fund

Austin Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC)

AIDC was created under the Texas Development Corporation Act of 1979 to provide a means of extending tax-exempt financing to projects that are deemed to have substantial social benefit through the creation of commercial, industrial, and manufacturing enterprises, in order to promote and encourage employment in the City. City Council acts as the board of directors of the corporation. In addition, City management has operational responsibilities for this component unit.

Discretely Presented Component Units Description of Activities, Relationship to City, and Key Inclusion Criteria Austin-Bergstrom Landhost Enterprises, Inc. (ABLE) 2716 Spirit of Texas Drive Austin, TX 78719

ABLE is a legally separate entity that issues revenue bonds for the purpose of financing the cost of acquiring, improving, and equipping a full-service hotel on airport property. City Council appoints this entity's Board and maintains a contractual ability to remove board members at will. Debt issued by ABLE does not constitute a debt or pledge of the faith and credit of the City.

Austin Convention Enterprises, Inc. (ACE) 500 East 4th Street Austin, TX 78701

ACE is a legally separate entity that owns, operates, and finances the Austin Convention Center Hotel. City Council appoints this entity's Board and maintains a contractual ability to remove board members at will. Debt issued by ACE does not constitute a debt or pledge of the faith and credit of the City.

Waller Creek Local Government Corporation (WCLGC) 124 W. 8th Street Austin, TX 78701

WCLGC is a non-profit local government corporation created by the City under Subchapter D of Chapter 431 of the Texas Transportation Code. The purpose of WCLGC is implementing the financing, design, construction, maintenance and operation of certain public improvements located within or around the Waller Creek Redevelopment Project district. City Council appoints a voting majority of the board of directors of the WCLGC and maintains a contractual ability to remove board members at will. There is no financial activity to report related to this component unit.

Related Organizations -- The City Council appoints the voting majority of the board members, but the City has no significant financial accountability for the Austin Housing Authority. The Mayor appoints the persons to serve as commissioners of this organization; however, this entity is separate from the operating activities of the City. The City of Austin retirement plans (described in Note 7) and the City of Austin Deferred Compensation Plan are not included in the City’s reporting entity since the City does not exercise substantial control over these plans. Related organizations are not included in the City’s reporting entity. b -- Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements The basic financial statements include both government-wide and fund financial statements. The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all governmental and business-type activities of the primary government and its component units. Fiduciary activities are not included in the government-wide statements. Internal service fund asset, deferred outflow of resources, liability, and deferred inflow of resources balances that are not eliminated in the statement of net position are primarily reported in the governmental activities column on the government-wide 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 to external customers. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a function are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function. Certain indirect costs are included in the program expenses of most business-type activities. Program revenues include: 1) charges to customers who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meet the operational or capital requirements of a particular function. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported as general revenues. The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds. The fund level statements focus on the governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary funds. Each fund was established to account for specific activities in accordance with applicable regulations, restrictions, or limitations. Major funds are determined by criteria specified by GAAP. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. All other funds are aggregated into nonmajor governmental, nonmajor enterprise, or internal service fund groupings. A reconciliation of the fund financial statements to the government-wide statements is provided in the financial statements to explain the differences between the two different reporting approaches.

1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued b -- Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements, continued The City’s fiduciary funds are presented in the fund financial statements by type (private-purpose and agency). By definition, fiduciary fund assets are held for the benefit of a third party and cannot be used to address activities or obligations of the primary government; therefore, they are not included in the government-wide statements. The government-wide financial statements are reported using the flow of economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenue is 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 revenue in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenues as soon as all eligibility requirements have been met. c -- Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. This basis of accounting recognizes revenues in the accounting period in which they become susceptible to accrual (i.e. both measurable and available). Revenues, other than grants, are considered available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to liquidate liabilities of the current period (defined by the City as collected within 60 days of the end of the fiscal year). Revenues billed under a contractual agreement with another governmental entity, including federal and state grants, are recognized when billed or when all eligibility requirements of the provider have been met, and they are considered to be available if expected to be collected within one year. Expenditures generally are recorded when incurred. However, expenditures related to compensated absences and arbitrage are recorded when payment is due. Debt service expenditures are recognized when payment is due. The reported fund balance of governmental funds is considered a measure of available spendable resources. Property taxes, sales taxes, franchise taxes, hotel occupancy taxes, vehicle rental taxes, municipal court fines, development permits and inspections, building safety permits and inspections, public health charges, emergency medical service charges, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and, to the extent they are considered available, have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered measurable and available in the fiscal period the City receives cash. Governmental Funds: Consist of the general fund, special revenue funds, debt service funds, capital projects funds, and permanent funds. The City reports the following major governmental fund:

General Fund: The primary operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial resources that are not required to be accounted for in another fund. It includes the following activities: general government; public safety; transportation, planning, and sustainability; public health; public recreation and culture; and urban growth management.

In addition, the City reports the following nonmajor governmental funds:

Special Revenue Funds: Account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted or committed to expenditure for specified purposes other than debt service or capital projects. Debt Service Funds: Account for and report financial resources, and the accumulation of those financial resources, that are restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditure for principal and interest of general long-term debt and HUD Section 108 loans. Capital Projects Funds: Account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditure for capital outlays, including the acquisition or construction of capital facilities and other capital assets (other than those reported within proprietary funds). It is primarily funded by general obligation debt, other tax supported debt, interest income, and other intergovernmental revenues. A 1981 ordinance requires the establishment of a separate fund for each bond proposition approved in each bond election. Permanent Funds: Account for and report resources that are restricted to the extent that only earnings, and not principal, may be used for purposes that support the City’s programs.

1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued c -- Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation, continued Proprietary Funds: Consist of enterprise funds and internal service funds. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations, such as providing electric or water-wastewater services. Other revenues or expenses are nonoperating items.

Enterprise Funds: Account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises. Costs are financed or recovered primarily through user charges.

The City reports the following major enterprise funds:

Austin Energy™: Accounts for the activities of the City-owned electric utility. Austin Water Utility: Accounts for the activities of the City-owned water and wastewater utility. Airport: Accounts for the operations of the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.

The City reports the following nonmajor business-type activities in Exhibit A-2: Convention: Accounts for convention center and public events activities. Environmental and health services: Accounts for solid waste services activities. Public recreation: Accounts for golf activities. Urban growth management: Accounts for drainage and transportation activities.

Internal Service Funds: Account for the financing of goods or services provided by one City department or agency to other City departments or to other governmental units on a cost-reimbursement basis. These activities include, but are not limited to, capital projects management, combined emergency center operations, employee health benefits, fleet services, information services, liability reserve (City-wide self-insurance) services, support services, wireless communication services, and workers’ compensation coverage.

Fiduciary Funds: Account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity or as an agent for individuals, private organizations, or other governments:

Private-purpose Trust Funds: Account for trust arrangements under which principal and income benefit individuals, private organizations, or other governments. Private-purpose trust funds account for various purposes: general government; transportation, planning, and sustainability; public recreation and culture; and urban growth management. Agency Funds: Account for resources held by the City in a custodial capacity for permit fees; campaign financing donations and fees; Municipal Court service fees; debt service payments for special assessment debt; and escrow deposits and payments to loan recipients.

d -- Budget The City Manager is required by the City Charter to present a proposed operating and capital budget to the City Council no later than thirty days before the beginning of the new fiscal year. The final budget shall be adopted no later than the twenty-seventh day of the last month of the preceding fiscal year. During the final adoption process, the City Council passes an appropriation ordinance and a tax-levying ordinance. Annual budgets are legally adopted for the General Fund, certain special revenue funds, and debt service funds. Annual budgets are also adopted for enterprise and internal service funds, although they are not legally required. Multi-year budgets are adopted for capital projects and grant funds, where appropriations remain authorized for the life of the projects, irrespective of fiscal year. Expenditures are appropriated on a modified accrual basis, except that commitments related to purchase orders are treated as expenditures in the year of commitment. Certain employee training and other fund-level expenditures are budgeted as general city responsibilities. Formal budgetary control is employed during the year at the fund and department level as a management control device for annual budgeted funds. Budgets are modified throughout the year. The City Manager is authorized to transfer appropriation balances within a fund and department of the City. The City Council approves amendments to the budget and transfers of appropriations from one fund and department to another. The original and final budgets for the General Fund are reported in the required supplementary information. Unencumbered appropriations for annual budgets lapse at fiscal year end.

1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued e -- Financial Statement Elements Pooled Investments and Cash -- Cash balances of all City funds (except for certain funds shown in Note 3 as having non- pooled investments) are pooled and invested. Interest earned on investments purchased with pooled cash is allocated monthly to each participating fund based upon the fund’s average daily balance. Funds that carry a negative balance in pooled cash and investments are not allocated interest earnings nor charged interest expense. Investments -- Certain investments are required to be reported at fair value. Realized gains or losses resulting from the sale of investments are determined by the specific cost of the securities sold. The City carries all of its investments in U.S. government and agency debt securities at fair value and money market mutual funds at amortized cost. Investments in local government investment pools are carried at either net asset value (NAV) or at amortized cost. Accounts Receivable -- Balances of accounts receivable, reported on the government-wide statement of net position, are aggregations of different components such as charges for services, fines, and balances due from taxpayers or other governments. In order to assist the reader, the following information has been provided regarding significant components of receivable balances as of September 30, 2017 (in thousands):

Total 125,605$ 70,370 5,462 20,027 221,464

Elimination of Internal Activities -- The elimination of internal service fund activity is needed in order to eliminate duplicate activity in making the transition from the fund level financial statements to the government-wide financial statements. In addition, the elimination of internal service fund activity requires the City to “look back” and adjust the internal service funds’ internal charges. A positive change in net position derived from internal service fund activity results in a pro-rata reduction in the charges made to the participatory funds. A deficit change in net position of internal service funds requires a pro-rata increase in the amounts charged to the participatory funds. Internal Balances -- In the government-wide statement of net position, internal balances are the receivables and payables between the governmental and business-type activities. Interfund Receivables and Payables -- During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds for goods provided or services rendered. These receivables and payables are classified as “due from other funds” or “due to other funds” on the fund-level statements when they are expected to be liquidated within one year. If receivables or payables are not expected to be liquidated within one year, they are classified as “advances to other funds” or “advances from other funds.”

Other inventories Average cost

All others Average cost

Inventories for all funds are accounted for using the consumption method and expenditures are recorded when issued. Inventories reported in the General Fund are offset by an equal amount in nonspendable fund balance, which indicates that they do not represent “available spendable resources.” Restricted Assets -- Restricted assets are assets whose use is subject to constraints that are either (a) externally imposed by creditors (such as through debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments or (b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Since Austin Energy and Austin Water Utility report in accordance with accounting for regulated operations, enabling legislation also includes restrictions on asset use established by its governing board which is the City Council. Restricted assets used to repay maturing debt and other current liabilities are classified as current. The balances of restricted assets in the enterprise funds are as follows (in thousands):

Capital Assets -- Capital assets, which primarily include land and improvements, buildings and improvements, plant and equipment, vehicles, water rights, and infrastructure assets, are reported in the proprietary funds and the applicable governmental or business-type activity columns of the government-wide statement of net position; related depreciation or amortization is allocated to programs in the statement of activities. Capital assets are defined as assets with an initial individual cost of $5,000 or more and an estimated useful life of greater than one year. Assets purchased, internally generated, or constructed are capitalized at historical cost. Contributed or annexed capital assets are recorded at estimated fair value at the time received. Capital outlay is recorded as an expenditure in the General Fund and other governmental funds and as an asset in the government-wide financial statements and proprietary funds. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Improvements and betterments that extend the useful lives of capital assets or increase their value are capitalized in the government-wide and proprietary statement of net position and expended in governmental funds. The City obtains public domain capital assets (infrastructure) through capital improvement projects (CIP) construction or through annexation or developer contribution. Infrastructure assets include streets and roads, bridges, pedestrian facilities, drainage systems, and traffic signal systems acquired after September 30, 1980. Interest is not capitalized on governmental capital assets. Enterprise funds, with the exception of Austin Energy and Austin Water Utility, capitalize interest paid on long-term debt when it can be attributed to a specific project and when it materially exceeds the interest revenue generated by the bond proceeds issued to fund the project. Interest is not capitalized on Austin Energy and Austin Water Utility assets in accordance with accounting for regulated operations.

Depreciation of assets is classified by functional component. The City considers land, arts and treasures, and library collections to be inexhaustible; therefore, these assets are reported as nondepreciable. The true value of arts and treasures is expected to be maintained over time and, thus, is not depreciated. The initial investment of library collections for each library is capitalized. All subsequent expenditures related to the maintenance of the collection (replacement of individual items) are expensed, with the overall value of the collection being maintained, and therefore, not depreciated. In the government-wide and proprietary fund statements, the City recognizes a gain or loss on the disposal of assets when it retires or otherwise disposes of capital assets. Water rights represent the amortized cost of a $100 million contract, net of accumulated amortization of $17.8 million, between the City and the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) for a fifty-one year assured water supply agreement, with an option to extend another fifty years. The City and the LCRA entered into the contract in 1999. The asset amortization period is 101.25 years. Regulatory Assets -- In accordance with accounting for regulated operations, certain utility expenses that do not currently require funding are recorded as assets and amortized over future periods if they are intended to be recovered through future rates. These expenses include unrealized gain/loss on investments, debt issuance costs, pension, other postemployment benefits, interest, decommissioning, and pass-through rates, such as the Power Supply Adjustment charge, Community Benefit charge, and Regulatory charge. Regulatory Assets will be recovered in these future periods by setting rates sufficient to provide funds for the requirements. If regulatory assets are not recoverable in future rates, the regulatory asset will be subject to write off. Retail deregulation of electric rates in the future may affect the City’s current accounting treatment of its electric utility revenues and expenses.

The governmental funds' statements include amounts recognized as deferred inflows of resources as a result of property taxes, other taxes, and certain revenues ($22.8 million) that are not available to liquidate current liabilities in the funds. These amounts will be recognized in the period these amounts become available. Compensated Absences -- The amounts owed to employees for unpaid vacation, exception vacation, and sick leave liabilities, including the City’s share of employment-related taxes, are reported on the accrual basis of accounting in the applicable business-type activity columns of the government-wide statements and in the proprietary activities of the fund financial statements. The liabilities and expenditures are reported on the modified accrual basis in the governmental fund financial statements; the estimated liability in governmental funds is the amount of unused vacation, exception vacation, and sick leave eligible for payout upon termination for employees that terminated by the fiscal year end.

(5) Exception vacation hours are hours accumulated by an employee when the employee works on a City holiday. (6) Employees may earn compensatory time in lieu of paid overtime; maximum payout is 120 hours for all employees. Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) -- The City provides certain health care benefits for its retired employees and their families as more fully described in Note 8. At September 30, 2017, the City’s total actuarial accrued liability for these retiree benefits was approximately $2.0 billion. The City funds the costs of these benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis. Long-Term Debt -- The debt service for general obligation bonds and other general obligation debt (including loans), issued to fund general government capital projects, is paid from tax revenues, interfund transfers, and intergovernmental revenues. Such general obligation debt is reported in the government-wide statements under governmental activities. The debt service for general obligation bonds and other general obligation debt issued to finance proprietary fund capital projects is normally paid from net revenues of the applicable proprietary fund, although such debt will be repaid from tax revenues if necessary. Such general obligation debt is shown as a specific liability of the applicable proprietary fund, which is appropriate under generally accepted accounting principles and in view of the expectation that the proprietary fund will provide resources to service the debt. Revenue bonds issued to finance capital projects of certain enterprise funds are to be repaid from select revenues of these funds. Note 6 contains more information about pledged revenues by fund. The corresponding debt is recorded in the applicable fund. The City has certain contractual commitments with several municipal utility districts (MUDs) for the construction of additions and improvements to the City’s water and wastewater system that serve the MUDs and surrounding areas. These additions and improvements are funded by other tax supported debt, whose principal and interest are payable primarily from the net revenues of Austin Water Utility. For proprietary funds and for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements, the City defers and amortizes gains and losses realized on refundings of debt and reports both the new debt as a liability and the related deferred loss (gain) amount as deferred outflows (or deferred inflows) of resources on the statement of net position. Austin Energy and Austin Water Utility recognize gains and losses on debt defeasance in accordance with accounting for regulated operations.

Annual accretion of the bonds is recorded as interest expense during the life of the bonds. The cumulative accretion of capital appreciation bonds, net of principal and interest payments on the bonds, is recorded as capital appreciation bond interest payable. Landfill Closure and Postclosure Care Costs -- Municipal solid waste landfill costs and the liability for landfill closure and postclosure costs are reported in Austin Resource Recovery, a nonmajor enterprise fund. Operating Revenues -- Revenues are recorded net of allowances, including bad debt, in the government-wide and proprietary fund-level statements. The funds listed below report revenues net of bad debt expense, as follows (in thousands):

Bad Debt Expense

Austin Energy $ 4,862 Austin Water Utility 815 Airport 191 Nonmajor Enterprise 886

Electric, water, and wastewater revenue is recorded when earned. Customers’ electric and water meters are read and bills rendered on a cycle basis by billing district. Electric rate schedules include a fuel cost adjustment clause that permits recovery of fuel costs in the month incurred or in future months. The City reports fuel costs on the same basis as it recognizes revenue. Unbilled revenue is recorded in Austin Energy by estimating the daily power generation and allocating by each billing district meter read dates as of September 30, 2017. The amount of unbilled revenue recorded, as of September 30, 2017, was $27.8 million. Austin Water Utility records unbilled revenue as earned based upon the percentage of October’s billing that represented water usage through September 30, 2017. The amount of unbilled revenue reported in accounts receivable as of September 30, 2017 was $17.1 million for water and $14.4 million for wastewater. Revenues are also recorded net of discounts in the government-wide and proprietary fund-level statements. Discounts are offered as incentives geared towards generating additional revenue in the form of new or expanded business, or to encourage events with a significant economic impact, as well as expedient event planning. The funds listed below report revenues net of discounts, as follows (in thousands):

Discounts Airport $ 1,035 Nonmajor Enterprise 2,574

Interfund Revenues, Expenses, and Transfers -- Transactions between funds that would be treated as revenues, expenditures, or expenses if they involved organizations external to the governmental unit are accounted for as revenues, expenditures, or expenses in the funds involved, such as billing for utility services. Transactions between funds that constitute reimbursements for expenditures or expenses are recorded as expenditures or expenses in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of the expenditure or expense in the fund that is reimbursed. Transfers between funds are reported in the operations of governmental and proprietary funds. In the government-wide statement of activities, the effect of interfund activity has generally been removed from the statements. Exceptions include the chargeback of services, such as utilities or vehicle maintenance, and charges for central administrative costs. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues of the various functions reported. The City recovers indirect costs that are incurred in the Support Services Fund, which is reported as an internal service fund. Indirect costs are calculated in a citywide cost allocation plan or through indirect cost rates, which are based on the cost allocation plan. Intergovernmental Revenues, Receivables, and Liabilities -- Intergovernmental revenues and related receivables arise primarily through funding received from Federal and State grants. Revenues are earned through expenditure of money for grant purposes. Intergovernmental liabilities arise primarily from funds held in an agency capacity for other local governmental units.

1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued e -- Financial Statement Elements, continued Federal and State Grants, Entitlements, and Shared Revenues -- Grants, entitlements, and shared revenues may be accounted for within any City fund. The purpose and requirements of each grant, entitlement, or shared revenue are analyzed to determine the appropriate fund statement and revenue category in which to report the related transactions. Grants, entitlements, and shared revenues received for activities normally recorded in a particular fund may be accounted for in that fund, provided that applicable legal restrictions can be satisfied. Revenues received for activities normally accounted for within the nonmajor governmental fund groupings include: Federal grant funds, State grant funds, and other special revenue grant funds. Capital grants restricted for capital acquisitions or construction, other than those associated with proprietary type funds, are accounted for in the applicable capital projects funds. Revenues received for operating activities of proprietary funds or revenues that may be used for either operations or capital expenses are recognized in the applicable proprietary fund. Fund Equity -- Fund balances for governmental funds are reported in classifications that demonstrate the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can be spent. The governmental fund type classifications are as follows:

Nonspendable: The portion of fund balance that cannot be spent because it is either (a) not in spendable form, such as inventories and prepaid items, or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.

Restricted: The portion of fund balance that is restricted to specific purposes due to constraints placed on the use of resources that are either (a) externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments or (b) imposed by law through constitution provisions or enabling legislation.

Committed: The portion of fund balance that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by an ordinance, the highest level action taken, adopted by the City Council. An equal action (ordinance) must be enacted to rescind the commitment. The City Council is the highest level of decision making authority. Assigned: The portion of fund balance that is constrained by the City’s intent to use for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. Under the City charter, the City Manager is authorized to assign individual amounts up to $58,000 in fiscal year 2017 to a specific purpose. This amount is updated annually based on the most recently published federal government, Bureau of Labor Statistics Indicator, Consumer Price Index (CPI-W U.S. City Average) U.S. City Average.

Unassigned: The portion of fund balance that is not restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes; only the General Fund reports a positive unassigned fund balance.

Restricted resources -- If both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use restricted resources first and unrestricted resources as needed. In governmental funds, unrestricted resources would be utilized in order from committed to assigned and finally unassigned. Budget stabilization -- By formal action of City Council, the General Fund maintains two reserve funds: an emergency reserve and a budget stabilization reserve. These reserves are part of unassigned fund balance for the General Fund. As of September 30, 2017, the emergency reserve maintains a balance of six percent of total General Fund requirements, or $58.2 million, and the budget stabilization reserve reports a balance of $76 million. The funds in the budget stabilization reserve may be appropriated to fund capital or other one-time costs, but such appropriation should not exceed one-third of the total amount in the reserve.

1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued e -- Financial Statement Elements, continued Cash and Cash Equivalents -- For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City considers cash and cash equivalents to be currency on hand, cash held by trustee, demand deposits with banks, and all amounts included in pooled investments and cash accounts. The City considers the investment pool to be highly liquid, similar to a money market mutual fund. 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 City’s three pension plans and additions to/deductions from each plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the plans. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. The net pension liability, pension expenses, and long-term deferrals are allocated to funds based on actual contributions by fund during the corresponding measurement period with the exception of the internal service funds, which are presented in governmental activities in the government-wide statements (see Note 7). Risk Management -- The City is exposed to employee-related risks for health benefits and workers’ compensation, as well as to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, or destruction of assets; fraud; and natural disasters. The City is self- insured for legal liabilities, workers’ compensation claims, and employee health benefits. The City does not participate in a risk pool but purchases commercial insurance coverage for property loss or damage, commercial crime, fidelity bonds, airport operations, and contractors working at selected capital improvement project sites (see Note 14). Austin Energy has established an energy risk management program. This program was authorized by City Council and led by the risk oversight committee. Under this program, Austin Energy enters into futures contracts, options, and swaps to reduce exposure to natural gas and energy price fluctuations. For additional details see Note 9. f -- Comparative Data Governments are required to present comparative data only in connection with Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). Comparative data has been utilized within the MD&A to help readers more fully understand the City’s financial statements for the current period. g -- Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 2 – POOLED INVESTMENTS AND CASH The following summarizes the amounts of pooled investments and cash by fund at September 30, 2017 (in thousands):

3 – INVESTMENTS AND DEPOSITS a – Investments Chapter 2256 of the Texas Government Code (the Public Funds Investment Act) authorizes the City to invest its funds under a written investment policy (the “Investment Policy”) that primarily emphasizes safety of principal and liquidity; addresses investment diversification, yield, and maturity; and addresses the quality and capability of investment personnel. The Investment Policy defines what constitutes the legal list of investments allowed under the policy, which excludes certain investment instruments allowed under Chapter 2256 of the Texas Government Code. The City’s deposits and investments are invested pursuant to the Investment Policy, which is approved annually by the City Council. The Investment Policy includes a list of authorized investment instruments, a maximum allowable stated maturity of any individual investment, and the maximum average dollar weighted maturity allowed for pooled fund groups. In addition, it includes an “Investment Strategy Statement” that specifically addresses each fund’s investment options and describes the priorities of suitability of investment type, preservation and safety of principal, liquidity, marketability, diversification, and yield. Additionally, the soundness of financial institutions in which the City will deposit funds is addressed. The City Treasurer submits an investment report each quarter to the investment committee. Members of the Investment Committee include the Chief Financial Officer (as chair), the City Treasurer (as vice chair), Assistant Treasurer over Investment Management, Assistant Treasurer over Debt Management, the City Controller, a public sector investment expert, a Financial Advisor's representative, a representative from Austin Energy, a representative from the Austin Water Utility, and a representative from the Law Department. The report details the investment position of the City and the compliance of the investment portfolio as it relates to both the adopted investment strategy statements and Texas state law. The City is authorized to invest in the following investment instruments if they meet the guidelines of the investment policy:

1. Obligations of the United States or its agencies and instrumentalities; 2. Direct obligations of the State of Texas; 3. Other obligations, the principal and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the State of Texas

or the United States or its agencies and instrumentalities; 4. Obligations of other states, cities, counties, or other political subdivisions of any state having been rated as to

investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm and having received a rating of not less than A or its equivalent;

5. Bankers’ acceptances, so long as each such acceptance has a stated maturity of 270 days or less from the date of its issuance, will be liquidated in full at maturity, are eligible collateral for borrowing from a Federal Reserve Bank, and are accepted by a domestic bank whose short-term obligations are rated at least A-1, P-1, or the equivalent by a nationally recognized credit rating agency or which is the largest subsidiary of a bank holding company whose short-term obligations are so rated;

6. Commercial paper with a stated maturity of 270 days or less from the date of its issuance that is either rated not less than A-1, P-1, or the equivalent by at least two nationally recognized credit rating agencies or is rated at least A-1, P- 1, or the equivalent by at least one nationally recognized credit rating agency and is fully secured by an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state thereof;

7. Collateralized repurchase agreements having a defined termination date and described in more detail in the Investment Policy;

8. Certificates of deposit issued by depository institutions that have a main office or branch office in Texas that are guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or its successor or as further described in the Investment Policy;

9. Share certificates issued by a depository institution that has a main office or branch office in Texas; 10. Money market mutual funds; 11. Local government investment pools (LGIPs); and 12. Securities lending program.

The City did not participate in any reverse repurchase agreements or security lending arrangements during fiscal year 2017. All City investments are insured, registered, or held by an agent in the City’s name; therefore, the City is not exposed to custodial credit risk. The City participates in TexPool/TexPool Prime, TexasDAILY, TexStar, and Lone Star (collectively referred to as the LGIPs). The State Comptroller oversees TexPool/Texpool Prime, with Federated Investors managing the daily operations of the pool under a contract with the State Comptroller. Although there is no regulatory oversight over TexasDAILY, an advisory board consisting of participants or their designees maintains oversight responsibility for TexasDAILY. PFM Asset Management LLC manages the daily operations of TexasDAILY under a contract with the advisory board. JPMorgan Investment Management, Inc. and First Southwest Asset Management, Inc. serve as co-administrators for TexStar under an agreement with the TexStar board of directors. First Public, LLC serves as the administrator of Lone Star under an agreement with Lone Star’s board of directors.

3 – INVESTMENTS AND DEPOSITS, continued a -- Investments, continued The City invests in LGIPs to provide its liquidity needs. The LGIPs were established in conformity with the Interlocal Cooperation Act, Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code and the Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256 of the Code. The LGIPs are structured like money market mutual funds and allow shareholders the ability to deposit or withdraw funds on a daily basis. In addition, interest rates are adjusted on a daily basis, and the funds seek to maintain a constant NAV of $1.00, although this cannot be fully guaranteed. The LGIPs are rated AAAm and must maintain a dollar weighted average maturity not to exceed a 60-day limit. At September 30, 2017, TexPool, Texpool Prime, TexasDAILY, TexStar, and Lone Star had a weighted average maturity of 37 days, 51 days, 35.6 days, 27 days, and 21 days, respectively. The City’s LGIP investments are not subject to limitations, penalties, or restrictions on withdrawals outside emergency conditions that make the sale of assets or determination of fund NAV not reasonably practical, and therefore, the City considers holdings in these funds to have an effective weighted average maturity of one day. Certain external investment pools and pool participants have an option to measure these investment pools at amortized cost rather than fair value if certain criteria are met. All City LGIPs are qualifying pools for these purposes. TexPool, Texpool Prime, TexasDAILY and Lone Star opted to report at amortized cost, while TexStar measures their investments at fair value. The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs. The City has the following recurring fair value measurements as of September 30, 2017:

 U.S. Treasury securities of $377 million are valued using other observable inputs, including but not limited to, model processes, benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing (Level 2 inputs).

 U.S. Agency securities of $1.5 billion are valued using other observable inputs, including but not limited to, model processes, benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing (Level 2 inputs).

As of September 30, 2017, the City presented Money Market Funds of $68.5 million, LGIPs of $1,014 million valued using amortized cost, and LGIP’s of $251 million valued using NAV. The following table includes the portfolio balances of all non-pooled and pooled investments of the City at September 30, 2017 (in thousands):

The Investment Policy segregates the portfolios into strategic categories including:

1. Operating funds excluding special project funds, 2. Debt service funds, 3. Debt service reserve funds, and 4. Special project funds or special purpose funds.

The City’s credit risk is controlled by complying with the Investment Policy, which includes qualification of the brokers and financial institutions with whom the City will transact, sufficient collateralization, portfolio diversification, and maturity limitations. b -- Investment Categories As of September 30, 2017, the City had the following investments in each of these strategic categories (in thousands):

3 – INVESTMENTS AND DEPOSITS, continued b -- Investment Categories, continued Credit Risk At September 30, 2017, City funds held investments in LGIPs and Money Market Funds rated AAAm by Standard & Poor’s, short-to-medium term U.S. Agency bonds rated AA+ by Standard & Poor’s, and the remaining investments in Treasury securities, which are direct obligations of the U.S. government. Concentration of Credit Risk Operating Funds At September 30, 2017, the operating funds held investments with more than five percent of the total portfolio in securities of the following issuers (in millions): Federal Farm Credit Bank ($418.8 or 17%), Federal Home Loan Bank ($279.2 or 11%), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ($298.9 or 12%), and Federal National Mortgage Association ($228.8 or 9%). Special Projects or Special Purpose Funds At September 30, 2017, the Austin Energy Strategic Reserve Fund held investments with more than five percent of the total in securities of the following issuers (in millions): Federal Farm Credit Bank ($14.9 or 8%), Federal Home Loan Bank ($34.8 or 18%), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ($44.9 or 24%), and Federal National Mortgage Association ($64.2 or 34%). At September 30, 2017, the NDTF held investments with more than five percent of the total in securities of the following issuers (in millions): Federal Home Loan Bank ($39.7 or 19%), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ($34.9 or 16%), Federal National Mortgage Association ($60.1 or 28%). Interest Rate Risk Operating Funds As a means of minimizing risk of loss due to interest rate fluctuations, the Investment Policy requires that investment maturities will not exceed the lesser of a dollar weighted average maturity of 365 days or the anticipated cash flow requirements of the funds. Quality short-to-medium term securities should be purchased, which complement each other in a structured manner that minimizes risk and meets the City’s cash flow requirements. Three years is the maximum period before maturity. At September 30, 2017, less than half of the Investment Pool was invested in AAAm rated LGIPs, with the remainder invested in short-to-medium term U.S. Agency and Treasury obligations. Term limits on individual maturities did not exceed three years from the purchase date. The dollar weighted average maturity of all securities was 277 days, which was less than the threshold of 365 days. Debt Service Funds Investment strategies for debt service funds have as the primary objective the assurance of investment liquidity adequate to cover the debt service obligation on the required payment date. As a means of minimizing risk of loss due to interest rate fluctuations, securities purchased cannot have a stated final maturity date which exceeds the debt service payment date. Debt Service Reserve Funds Investment strategies for debt service reserve funds have as the primary objective the ability to generate a dependable revenue stream to the appropriate debt service fund from securities with a low degree of volatility. Except as may be required by bond ordinance specific to an individual issue, securities should be of high quality, with short-term to intermediate-term securities. Special Projects or Special Purpose Funds As a means of minimizing risk of loss due to interest rate fluctuations, the Investment Policy requires that investment maturities in this category not exceed the anticipated cash flow requirements of the funds. Special Purpose Funds - Austin Energy Strategic Reserve Fund At September 30, 2017, the portfolios held investments in TexPool, U.S. Treasury, and U.S. Agency obligations with maturities that will meet anticipated cash flow requirements and an overall dollar weighted average maturity of 775 days. Special Purpose Funds - Austin Energy Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Funds (NDTF) As a means of minimizing risk of loss due to interest rate fluctuations, the Investment Policy for the NDTF portfolios requires that the dollar weighted average maturity, using final stated maturity dates, shall not exceed seven years, although the portfolio’s weighted average maturity may be substantially shorter if market conditions so dictate. At September 30, 2017, the dollar weighted average maturity was 421 days.

4 – PROPERTY TAXES The City’s property tax is levied each October 1 on the assessed value listed as of January 1 for all real and personal property located in the City. The adjusted assessed value for the roll as of January 1, 2016, upon which the 2017 levy was based, was $125,371,654,656 Taxes are due by January 31 following the October 1 levy date. During the year ended September 30, 2017, 99.50% of the current tax levy (October 1, 2016) was collected. The statutory lien date is January 1. The methods of property assessment and tax collection are determined by Texas statutes. The statutes provide for a property tax code, countywide appraisal districts, a State property tax board, and certain exemptions from taxation, such as intangible personal property, household goods, and family-owned automobiles. The appraisal of property within the City is the responsibility of the Travis Central Appraisal District, the Williamson Central Appraisal District, and the Hays Central Appraisal District. The appraisal districts are required under the Property Tax Code to assess all real and personal property within the appraisal district on the basis of 100% of its appraised value and are prohibited from applying any assessment ratios. The value of property within the appraisal district must be reviewed every two years; however, the City may require more frequent reviews of appraised values at its own expense. The Travis Central Appraisal District and the Hays Central Appraisal District have chosen to review the value of property in their respective districts every two years, while the Williamson Central Appraisal District has chosen to review the value of property on an annual basis. The City may challenge appraised values established by the appraisal district through various appeals and, if necessary, legal action. The City is authorized to set tax rates on property within the city limits. However, if the effective tax rate, excluding tax rates for bonds, certificates of obligation, and other contractual obligations, as adjusted for new improvements and revaluation, exceeds the rate for the previous year by more than 8%, State statute allows qualified voters of the City to petition for an election to determine whether to limit the tax rate increase to no more than 8%. The City is permitted by Article XI, Section 5 of the State of Texas Constitution to levy taxes up to $2.50 per $100 of assessed valuation for general governmental services, including the payment of principal and interest on general obligation long-term debt. Under the City charter, a limit on taxes levied for general governmental services, exclusive of payments of principal and interest on general obligation long-term debt, has been established at $1.00 per $100 assessed valuation. A practical limitation on taxes levied for debt service of $1.50 per $100 of assessed valuation is established by state statute and City charter limitations. Through contractual arrangements, Travis, Williamson, and Hays Counties bill and collect property taxes for the City. The tax rate to finance general governmental functions, other than the payment of principal and interest on general obligation long-term debt, for the year ended September 30, 2017, was $0.3399 per $100 assessed valuation. The tax rate for servicing the payment of principal and interest on general obligation long-term debt for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 was $0.1019 per $100 assessed valuation. The City has a tax margin for general governmental purposes of $0.6601 per $100 assessed valuation, and could levy approximately $82,757,829,238 in additional taxes from the assessed valuation of $125,371,654,656 before the legislative limit is reached. The City has reserved a portion of the taxes collected for lawsuits filed by certain taxpayers against the appraisal districts challenging assessed values in the government-wide financial statements.

Airport $ 1,893 Nonmajor enterprise funds:

Convention Center 160

Interest is not capitalized on governmental capital assets. In accordance with accounting for regulated operations, interest is also not capitalized for Austin Energy or Austin Water Utility capital assets. Service Concession Arrangements The City has recorded net capital assets of $172.8 million, other assets of $21.1 and deferred inflows of $169.2 million derived from four service concession arrangements (SCA) described below. An SCA is an arrangement in which the City conveys use of a capital asset to an operator in exchange for significant consideration; where the operator is compensated from third parties; where the City may determine what services are provided, to whom and for what price; where the City retains a significant residual interest in the asset after the SCA terminates. The City has had an agreement with the Friends of Umlauf Garden, Inc. since 1991 to manage and operate the Umlauf Sculpture Garden and Museum. The agreement extends through 2021 and is for the purpose of displaying the artistic works of Charles Umlauf for the public enjoyment and education. Structures, which are dedicated to the City, have been built on City-owned land and display City-owned artwork. The City entered into an agreement with the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) in 2010 to develop and operate a new joint-use recreational facility for public use. The facility is owned by the City and operated by the YMCA under a 20 year agreement extending through 2032. The City entered into a Master Lease Agreement with Austin CONRAC LLC, a corporation established to operate Austin’s consolidated rent-a-car facility (“CONRAC”). The master lease, with a 20 year initial term and a 10 year extension option, provides for construction, financing, and management of a joint use facility. CONRAC began operations October 1, 2015. The operator pays annual rent of $900,000 to the Airport. The present value of the future rent payments was $13 million at lease inception. As of September 30, 2017, the unamortized balance was $12.1 million and is presented in other assets and deferred inflows of resources. The CONRAC was financed with $143 million in City issued Rental Car Special Facility Bonds, conduit debt secured by customer facilities charges (CFC). CFC funds are remitted by rental car concessionaires directly to the bond trustee. See Note 16 for conduit debt information. Construction costs totaled $152.4 million and the City has recorded the asset with a corresponding deferred inflow of resources to be amortized over the 30 year term of the master lease agreement. The City entered into a Lease and Development Agreement with Scott Airport Parking, LLC (Scott) to develop and operate a 2,000-space covered parking facility and full service pet boarding facility (Bark and Zoom). The lease has a 40 year term which began on October 2016. Scott pays a monthly square footage rate, a monthly percentage rate, and a fixed monthly rate in exchange for the right to operate the facilities, as defined in the lease and development agreement. The fixed monthly rate for the first 5 years is $5,000. The present value of the future payments was $9.2 million at lease inception. As of September 30, 2017, the unamortized balance was $8.9 million and is presented in other assets and deferred inflows of resources. Construction costs totaled $26.5 million and the City has recorded the asset with a corresponding deferred inflow of resources to be amortized over the 40 year term of the master lease agreement.

6 – DEBT AND NON-DEBT LIABILITIES, continued b -- Governmental Activities Long-Term Liabilities

General Obligation Bonds -- General obligation debt is collateralized by the full faith and credit of the City. The City intends to retire its general obligation debt, plus interest, from future ad valorem tax levies and is required by ordinance to create from such tax revenues a sinking fund sufficient to pay the current interest due thereon and each installment of principal as it becomes due. General obligation debt issued to finance capital assets of enterprise funds is reported as an obligation of these enterprise funds, although the funds are not obligated by the applicable bond indentures to repay any portion of principal and interest on outstanding general obligation debt. However, the City intends for the enterprise funds to meet the debt service requirements from program revenues.

6 – DEBT AND NON-DEBT LIABILITIES, continued c -- Business-Type Activities Long-Term Liabilities, continued Some of these bonds are callable prior to maturity at the option of the City. The term bonds are subject to a mandatory redemption prior to the maturity dates as defined in the respective official statements. The net proceeds of each of the refunding bond issuances were used to purchase U.S. government securities. Those securities were deposited in an irrevocable trust with an escrow agent to provide for all future debt service. As a result, the refunded bonds are considered to be legally defeased and the liability for the refunded bonds has been removed from the financial statements. The accounting gains and losses due to the advance refunding of debt have been deferred and are being amortized over the life of the refunding bonds by the straight-line method. However, a gain or loss on refunded bonds is recognized when funds from current operations are used.

7 – RETIREMENT PLANS, continued b -- Net Pension Liability Development of Long-Term Rate of Return on Investments. Each pension plan utilizes different asset allocations and assumed rates of return in developing the long-term rate of return on investments. However all three use the same methodology as follows: The long-term 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 expenses 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 following provides asset allocations and long-term expected real rate of return for each asset class for the three funds.

Based on the assumptions presented below, the fiduciary net position for all three pension funds was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive employees. 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.

  8 – OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS a -- Description In addition to the contributions made to the three pension systems, the City provides certain other postemployment benefits to its retirees. Other postemployment benefits include access to medical, dental, and vision insurance for the retiree and the retiree’s family and $1,000 of life insurance on the retiree only. All retirees who are eligible to receive pension benefits under any of the City’s three pension systems are eligible for other postemployment benefits. Retirees may also enroll eligible dependents under the medical, dental, and vision plan(s) in which they participate. The City’s other postemployment benefits plan is a single employer plan. The City is under no obligation to pay any portion of the cost of other postemployment benefits for retirees or their dependents. Allocation of City funds to pay other postemployment benefits is determined on an annual basis by the City Council as part of the budget approval process on a pay-as-you-go basis. The City recognizes the cost of providing these benefits to active employees as an expense and corresponding revenue in the Employee Benefits Fund; no separate plan report is available. The City pays actual claims for medical and 100% of the retiree’s life insurance premium. Group dental and vision coverage is available to retirees and their eligible dependents. The retiree pays the full cost of the dental and vision premium. The pay-as-you-go cost of providing medical and life benefits was $43.1 million for 4,834 retirees in 2017 and $39.3 million for 4,644 retirees in 2016. b -- Annual Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) Cost and Net OPEB Obligation The annual cost associated with the City’s OPEB retiree benefits for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 is as follows (in thousands):

9 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS The City has derivatives in two hedging programs: Energy Risk Management Program and Variable Rate Debt Management Program. In accordance with GAAP, the City is required to report the fair value of all derivative instruments on the statement of net position. All derivatives must be categorized into two basis types – (1) hedging derivative instruments and (2) investment derivative instruments. Hedging derivative instruments significantly reduce an identified financial risk by substantially offsetting changes in cash flows or fair values of an associated hedgeable item. Investment derivative instruments are entered into primarily for income or profit purposes or they are derivative instruments that do not meet the criteria of an effective hedging derivative instrument. Changes in fair value of hedging derivative instruments are deferred on the statement of net position, and changes in fair value of investment derivative instruments are recognized as gains or losses on the statement of activities. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, which is the City’s fiscal year end date of September 30. This requires consideration of nonperformance risk when measuring the fair value of a liability and considers the effect of the government’s own credit quality and any other factors that might affect the likelihood that the obligation will or will not be fulfilled. a -- Energy Risk Management Program In an effort to mitigate the financial and market risk associated with the purchase of natural gas, energy, and congestion price volatility, Austin Energy has established a Risk Management Program. This program was authorized by the Austin City Council and is led by the Risk Oversight Committee. Under this program, Austin Energy enters into futures contracts, options, swaps and congestion revenue rights for the purpose of reducing exposure to natural gas, energy and congestion price risk. Use of these types of instruments for the purpose of reducing exposure to price risk is performed as a hedging activity. These contracts may be settled in cash or delivery of certain commodities. Austin Energy typically settles these contracts in cash. Hedging Derivative Instruments Natural Gas Derivatives Austin Energy purchases financial contracts on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) to provide a hedge against the physical delivery price of natural gas from its various hubs. Austin Energy enters into basis swaps to protect delivery price differences between Henry Hub and its natural gas delivery points, Western Area Hub Association (WAHA), Katy, and the Houston Ship Channel (HSC). The fair value of futures, swaps, and basis swap contracts is determined using the NYMEX closing settlement prices as of the last day of the reporting period, using a hierarchy level 2 market approach. The fair value is calculated by deriving the difference between the closing futures price on the last day of the reporting period and purchase price at the time the positions were established. The fair value of the options is categorized as hierarchy level 2, calculated using the Black/Scholes valuation method utilizing implied volatility based on the NYMEX closing settlement prices of the options as of the last day of the reporting period, including any necessary price analysis adjustments, risk free interest rate, time to maturity, and the NYMEX forward price of the underlier as of the last day of the reporting period. Premiums paid for options are deferred until the contract is settled. As of September 30, 2017, $195 thousand in premiums was deferred. As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of Austin Energy’s futures, options, swaps and congestion revenue rights, was an unrealized loss of $13.1 million, of which $15.0 million is reported as derivative instruments in liabilities and $1.9 million is reported as derivative instruments in assets. The fair values of these derivative instruments are deferred until future periods on the statement of net position using deferred outflows and deferred inflows. Congestion Revenue Rights Derivatives Preassigned Congestion Revenue Rights (PCRRs) and Congestion Revenue Rights (CRRs) function as financial hedges against the cost of resolving congestion in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) market. These instruments allow Austin Energy to hedge expected future congestion that may arise during a certain period. CRRs are purchased at auction, annually and monthly at market value. Municipally owned utilities are granted the right to purchase PCRRs annually at 10-20% of the cost of CRRs. The instruments exhibit all three characteristics - settlement, leverage, and net settlement - to classify them as derivative instruments. As of September 30, 2017, PCRRs had a fair value of $81 thousand and CRRs had a fair value of $1.4 million, and both are reported as derivative instruments. The market value for CRRs and PCRRs is calculated using the implied market value (the difference between future proxy sink price and source price) multiplied by the number of open positions, hierarchy level 2 market approach. The difference in the prices represents what the expected cost of congestion will be for that given point in time. In fiscal year 2017, Austin Energy sold PCRRs and recorded a gain of $205 thousand; however, this gain was deferred under the accounting requirements for regulated operations. At September 30, 2017, $205 thousand remained deferred.

Type of Transaction

Austin Energy routinely purchases derivative instruments. The outstanding hedging derivative instruments were purchased at various dates. The realized gains and losses related to the hedging activity derivative instruments are netted to Power Supply Adjustment expense in the period realized. Risks Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk of loss due to a counterparty defaulting on its obligations. Austin Energy’s fuel derivative contracts expose Austin Energy to custodial credit risk on Exchange Traded derivative positions. In the event of default or nonperformance by brokers or the exchange, Austin Energy’s operations will not be materially affected. At September 30, 2017, the brokerages had credit ratings of A. The over-the-counter agreements expose Austin Energy to credit risk; however, at September 30, 2017, none of the counterparties had outstanding obligations with Austin Energy. The contractual provisions applied to these contracts under the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) agreement include collateral provisions. At September 30, 2017, no collateral was required under these provisions. The congestion revenue rights expose Austin Energy to custodial credit risk in the event of default or nonperformance by ERCOT, a regulatory entity of the State of Texas. In the event of default of nonperformance, Austin Energy’s operations will not be materially affected. Termination Risk. Termination risk is the risk that a derivative will terminate prior to its scheduled maturity due to a contractual event. Contractual events include illegality, tax and credit events upon merger and other events. Termination risk for exchange- traded instruments is greatly reduced by the strict rules and guidelines set up by the exchange, which is governed by the Commodity Futures Trade Commission. Austin Energy’s exposure to termination risk for over-the counter agreements is minimal due to the high credit rating of the counterparties and the contractual provisions under the ISDA agreement applied to these contracts. Termination risk is associated with all of Austin Energy’s derivatives up to the fair value of the instrument. Netting Arrangements. Austin Energy enters into netting arrangements whenever it has entered into more than one derivative instrument transaction with a counterparty. Under the terms of these arrangements, should one party become insolvent or otherwise default on its obligations, close-out netting provisions permit the non-defaulting party to accelerate and terminate all outstanding transactions and net the transactions’ fair values so that a single sum will be owed by or owed to the non-defaulting party.

9 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS, continued a -- Energy Risk Management Program, continued Basis Risk. Austin Energy is exposed to basis risk on its fuel hedges because the expected commodity purchases being hedged will price based on a delivery point (WAHA/Katy/HSC) different than that at which the financial hedging contracts are expected to settle NYMEX (Henry Hub). As of September 30, 2017, the NYMEX price was $2.97 per MMBTU (one million British thermal unit, a measurement of heating value), the WAHA Hub price was $2.44 per MMBTU, Katy was $2.92 per MMBTU, and the HSC Hub price was $2.88 per MMBTU. Risks As of September 30, 2017, Austin Energy was not exposed to credit, interest, or foreign currency risk on its investment derivative instruments. b -- Variable Rate Debt Management Program Hedging Derivative Instruments The intention of each of the City’s swaps is to provide a cash flow hedge for its variable interest rate bonds by providing synthetic fixed rate bonds. As a means to lower its borrowing costs when compared against fixed rate bonds at the time of issuance, the City executed pay-fixed, receive-variable swaps in connection with its issuance of variable rate bonds. As of September 30, 2017, the City has three outstanding swap transactions with initial and outstanding notional amounts totaling $602.1 million and $376.7 million, respectively. The fair values of the interest rate derivative transactions were estimated based on an independent pricing service. The valuations provided were derived from proprietary models based upon well-recognized principles and estimates about relevant future market conditions. The expected transaction cash flows are calculated using the zero-coupon discounting method which takes into consideration the prevailing benchmark interest rate environment, the specific terms and conditions of a given transaction, and assumes that the current forward rates implied by the benchmark yield curve are the market’s best estimate of future spot interest rates. The income approach is then used to obtain the fair value of the transactions, where future amounts (the expected transaction cash flows) are converted to a single current amount, discounted using a rate of return that takes into account the relative risk of nonperformance associated with the cash flows. Where applicable under the income approach an option pricing model is applied such as the Black-Scholes-Merton model, the Black-Derman-Toy model, one of the short-rate models, or other market standard models consistent with accepted practices in the market for interest rate option products. The option models consider probabilities, volatilities, time, settlement prices, and other variables pertinent to the transactions. This valuation technique is applied consistently across all the transactions. Given the observability of inputs significant to the measurements, the fair values of the transactions are categorized as Level 2. On September 30, 2017, the City had the following outstanding interest rate swap hedging derivative instruments (in thousands):

Due to the continued low interest rate levels during fiscal year 2017, the City’s interest rate swap hedging derivative instruments had negative fair values as of September 30, 2017. The fair value takes into consideration nonperformance risk, the prevailing interest rate environment, the specific terms and conditions of a given transaction, and any upfront payments that may have been received. Risks Credit risk. As of September 30, 2017, the City was not exposed to credit risk on any of its outstanding swap agreements because each swap had a negative fair value. However, should interest rates change and the fair value of a swap become positive, the City would be exposed to credit risk in the amount of the swap’s fair value.

Counterparty Ratings

   

Swap agreements for all three swaps contain collateral agreements with the counterparties. These swap agreements require collateralization of the fair value of the swap should the counterparty’s credit rating fall below the applicable thresholds in the agreements. For Swap AIR1, the City purchased swap insurance to mitigate the need to post collateral as long as the insurer, Financial Security Assurance, maintains a credit rating above A2/A by Moody’s/S&P. For Swap HOT1, the credit support provider of MKFP is Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch (DBAG). This swap requires collateralization of the fair value of the swap should DBAG’s credit rating fall below the applicable thresholds in the agreement.

Basis and interest rate risk. Basis risk is the risk that the interest rate paid by the City on underlying variable rate bonds to bondholders temporarily differs from the variable swap rate received from the applicable counterparty. The City does not bear basis risk on Swap WW2. At September 30, 2017, the City bears basis risk on the two remaining swaps. These swaps have basis risk since the City receives a percentage of LIBOR to offset the actual variable rate the City pays on the related bonds. The City is exposed to basis risk should the floating rate that it receives on a swap drop below the actual variable rate the City pays on the bonds. Depending on the magnitude and duration of any basis risk shortfall, the expected cost of the basis risk may vary. The City will be exposed to interest rate risk only if the counterparty to the swap defaults or if the swap is terminated. Tax risk. Tax risk is a specific type of basis risk. Tax risk is the risk of a permanent mismatch occurring between the interest rate paid on the City’s underlying variable rate bonds and the rate received on the swap caused by a reduction or elimination in the benefits of the tax exemption for municipal bonds. For example, a grandfathering of the elimination of federal tax-exemption on existing tax-exempt bonds, or a tax cut, would result in the yields required by investors on the City’s bonds coming close to or being equal to taxable yields. This would result in an increase in the ratio of tax-exempt to taxable yields. The City is receiving 71% of LIBOR on AIR1, and 67% of LIBOR on Swap HOT1 and would experience a shortfall relative to the rate paid on its bonds if marginal income tax rates decrease relative to expected levels, thus increasing the overall cost of its synthetic fixed rate debt. Nonperformance/Termination risk. The City or the counterparties may terminate any of the swaps if the other party fails to perform under the terms of the respective contracts. If any of the swaps are terminated, the associated variable rate bonds would no longer be hedged to a fixed rate. If at the time of termination the swap has a negative fair value, the City would be liable to the counterparty for a payment equal to the swap’s fair value. The additional termination events in the agreement are limited to credit related events only and the ratings triggers are substantially below the current credit rating of the City. Additionally, the City purchased swap insurance on the Swap AIR1 to further reduce the possibility of termination risk. Rollover risk. The City is exposed to rollover risk on hedging derivative instruments that are hedges of debt that mature or may be terminated prior to the maturity of the hedged debt. When these hedging derivative instruments terminate, the City will be re-exposed to the risks being hedged by the hedging derivative instrument. The City is currently not exposed to rollover risk on its hedging derivative instruments. Investment Derivative Instruments At September 30, 2017, the City did not have any investment derivative instruments related to interest rate swaps.

12 – SELECTED REVENUES a -- Major Enterprise Funds Austin Energy and Austin Water Utility The Texas Public Utility Commission (PUC) has jurisdiction over electric utility wholesale transmission rates. On June 3, 2014, the PUC approved the City’s most recent wholesale transmission rate of $1.160111/KW. Transmission revenues totaled approximately $78 million in FY17. The City Council has jurisdiction over all other electric utility rates and over all water and wastewater utility rates and other services. The Council determines electric utility and water and wastewater utility rates based on the cost of operations. Under a bill passed by the Texas Legislature in 1999, municipally-owned electric utilities such as the City’s utility system have the option of offering retail competition after January 1, 2002. As of September 30, 2017, the City has elected not to enter the retail market, as allowed by state law. Electric rates include a fixed-rate component and cost-adjustment factors that allow for recovery of power supply, regulatory, and community benefit costs. If actual power supply costs differ from amounts billed to customers, then regulatory assets or deferred inflows are recorded by Austin Energy. The power supply factor is reviewed annually or when over- or under-recovery is more than 10% of expected power supply costs. Any over- or under-collections of the power supply, regulatory, or community benefit costs are applied to the respective cost-adjustment factor. Airport The City has entered into certain lease agreements as the lessor for concessions at the Airport. These lease agreements qualify as operating leases for accounting purposes. In the fiscal year 2017, the Airport fund revenues included minimum concession guarantees of $20,253,878. The following is a schedule by year of minimum future rentals on non-cancelable operating leases with remaining terms of up to 80 years for the Airport Fund as of September 30, 2017 (in thousands):

13 – TAX ABATEMENTS

The City grants tax abatements as defined in GASB Statement No. 77 under one of two programs, the Chapter 380 Performance Based Economic Development Incentive Program under which sales and property taxes may be rebated if the entity meets performance criteria, and the Media Production Development Zone program under which sales, excise, and use taxes may be abated. Performance Based Rebate Program To promote local economic development and stimulate business and commercial activity in the municipality, the City has granted tax rebate agreements under the authority of Chapter 380 of the Texas Local Government Code through the City’s Chapter 380 Performance Based Economic Development Incentive Program. All or a portion of property taxes, sales taxes, or a combination of the two were abated as a part of these agreements. To be eligible to participate in the program an entity must make a commitment to move or expand its business in the City through investments in real and/or personal property or leasehold improvements as well as commitments about the number of new jobs it will create. Some agreements also require the participants in this program to meet other City requirements such as salary levels of employees and local business participation. Each agreement is negotiated individually and the terms vary depending on the type of development and the economic benefits to the City. Sales taxes abated may either be all or a portion of those generated by the entity or its actions. The amount of property taxes abated may be all or a portion of property taxes on the entity’s real and personal property or leasehold investment. Agreements generally run for a certain number of years and also may be subject to a not-to-exceed maximum of taxes to be abated. All taxes are collected and then rebated if the entity meets commitments made under the agreement. If the criteria are not met, no taxes are refunded. During fiscal year 2017, the City had four agreements under this program which resulted in rebates that meet the definition of tax abatements of approximately $13.3 million. The City had no commitments related to these agreements other than the timeframe during which a compliance review will occur and a deadline for the refund of the taxes. The City is not subject to any tax abatement agreements entered into by other governmental entities.

14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES a -- Fayette Power Project Austin Energy’s coal-fired electric generating units are located at the Fayette Power Project (FPP) and operate pursuant to a participation agreement with LCRA. Austin Energy has an undivided 50 percent interest in Units 1 and 2, and LCRA wholly owns Unit 3. A management committee of four members governs FPP; each participant administratively appoints two members. As managing partner, LCRA is responsible for the operation of the project and appoints project management. Austin Energy’s investment is financed through operations, revenue bonds, or commercial paper, which are repaid by Austin Energy (see Note 6), and its pro-rata share of operations is recorded as if wholly owned. Austin Energy’s pro-rata interest in FPP was $28.0 million as of September 30, 2017. The decrease in the pro-rata interest from 2016 is primarily due to a decrease in coal inventory. The pro-rata interest in the FPP is calculated pursuant to the participation agreement and is reported in various asset and liability accounts within the City’s financial statements. The original cost of Austin Energy’s share of FPP’s generation and transmission facilities is recorded in the utility plant accounts of the City in accordance with its accounting policies. b -- South Texas Project Austin Energy is one of three participants in the South Texas Project (STP), which consists of two 1,250-megawatt nuclear generating units in Matagorda County, Texas. The other participants in the STP are NRG South Texas LP and City Public Service of San Antonio. In-service dates for STP were August 1988 for Unit 1 and June 1989 for Unit 2. Austin Energy’s 16 percent ownership in the STP represents 400 megawatts of plant capacity. At September 30, 2017, Austin Energy’s investment in the STP was approximately $380.1 million, net of accumulated depreciation. Effective November 17, 1997, the participation agreement among the owners of STP was amended and restated, and the STP Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC), a Texas non-profit non-member corporation created by the participants, assumed responsibility as the licensed operator of STP. The participants share costs in proportion to ownership interests, including all liabilities and expenses of STPNOC. Each participant is responsible for its STP funding. The City’s portion is financed through operations, revenue bonds, or commercial paper, which are repaid by Austin Energy (see Note 6). In addition, each participant has the obligation to finance any deficits that may occur. Each participant appoints one member to the board of directors of STPNOC, as well as one other member to the management committee. A member of the management committee may serve on the board of directors in the absence of a board member. The City’s portion of STP is classified as plant in service, construction in progress, and nuclear fuel inventory. Nuclear fuel includes fuel in the reactor as well as nuclear fuel in process. STP requested a 20-year license extension for units 1 & 2 with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The 20 year license renewal was issued by the NRC in September 2017. Unit 1 and 2 are currently licensed through 2047 and 2048, respectively. c -- South Texas Project Decommissioning Austin Energy began collecting in rates and accumulating funds for decommissioning STP in 1989 in an external trust. The Decommissioning Trust assets are reported as restricted investments held by trustee. The related liability is reported as a decommissioning liability payable. Excess or unfunded liabilities related to decommissioning STP will be adjusted in future rates so that there are sufficient funds in place to pay for decommissioning. The increase to nuclear deferred inflow of resources from prior fiscal year is attributable to the NRC issued license extension in FY17. At September 30, 2017, the trust’s assets were in excess of the estimated liability by $55.0 million which is reported as part of deferred inflows of resources (in thousands).

   STP is subject to regulation by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The NRC requires that each holder of a nuclear plant-operating license submit a certificate of financial assurance to the NRC for plant decommissioning every two years or upon transfer of ownership. The certificate provides reasonable assurance that sufficient funds are being accumulated to provide the minimum requirement for decommissioning mandated by the NRC. The most recent annual calculation of financial assurance filed on December 31, 2016, showed that the trust assets exceeded the minimum required assurance by $49.0 million. d -- Purchased Power

Austin Energy has commitments totaling $6.4 billion to purchase energy and capacity through purchase power agreements. This amount includes provisions for wind power through 2041, landfill power through 2018, biomass through 2032, and solar through 2049.

14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, continued e -- Decommissioning and Environmental/Pollution Remediation Contingencies Austin Energy may incur costs for environmental/pollution remediation of certain sites including the Holly, Fayette, and Decker Power Plants. At September 30 2017, the financial statements includes a $6.7 million short-term decommissioning liability related to Holly and a $430 thousand short-term environmental liability related to Fayette and Decker, classified as other liabilities. The amount is based on 2017 cost estimates to perform remediation and decommissioning. Actual costs may be higher due to inflation, changes in technology, or changes in regulations. f -- Arbitrage Rebate Payable The City’s arbitrage consultant has determined that the City has not earned interest revenue on unused bond proceeds in excess of amounts allowed by applicable Federal regulations. Therefore, the City will not be required to rebate any amounts to the federal government. There are no estimated payables at September 30, 2017. g -- Federal and State Financial Assistance Programs The City participates in a number of federally assisted and state grant programs, financed primarily by the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department, U.S. Health and Human Services Department, and U.S. Department of Transportation. The City’s programs are subject to program compliance audits by the grantor agencies. Management believes that no material liability will arise from any such audits. h -- Capital Improvement Plan As required by charter, the City has a Capital Improvements Program plan (capital budget) covering a five-year period which details anticipated spending for projects in the upcoming and future years. The City’s 2017 Capital Budget has substantial contractual commitments relating to its capital improvement plan. The key projects in progress include improvements to and development of the electric system, water and wastewater systems, airport, transportation infrastructure, public recreation and culture activities, and urban growth management activities. Remaining commitments represent current unspent budget and future costs required to complete projects.

Significant encumbrances include reservations for the 2012 bond program ($30,632), Communications and Technology Management ($19,408), General Government Projects ($15,421), and 2016 Bond Program ($16,549). j -- Landfill Closure and Postclosure Liability State and federal regulations require the City to place a final cover on the City of Austin landfill site (located on FM 812) when it stops accepting waste and to perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions at the site for thirty years after closure. Although closure and postclosure care costs will be paid only near or after the date that the landfill stops accepting waste, a portion of these future closure and postclosure care costs are reported as an operating expense in each period as incurred in the Austin Resource Recovery Fund, a nonmajor enterprise fund. Substantial closure occurred in fiscal year 2011. Flooding in fiscal year 2015 has delayed final closure, which is expected in fiscal year 2019. While the landfill only reached 99.04% capacity, the City is no longer accepting waste. The amount of costs reported, based on landfill capacity of 100% as of September 30, 2017, is as follows (in thousands):

Closure Postclosure Total Total es tim ated cos ts 22,500$ 9,899 32,399

Cos ts incurred (19,706) -- (19,706)

Closure and pos tclosure liability 2,794$ 9,899 12,693

These amounts are based on the 2017 cost estimates to perform closure and postclosure care. Actual costs may be higher due to inflation, changes in technology, or changes in regulations. State and federal laws require owners to demonstrate financial assurance for closure, postclosure, and/or corrective action. The City complies with the financial and public notice components of the local government financial test and government-guarantee of the test. k -- Risk-Related Contingencies The City uses internal service funds to account for risks related to health benefits, third-party liability, and workers’ compensation. The funds are as follows:

Fund Name Description Employee Benefits City employees and retirees may choose a self-insured PPO, HMO, or CDHP with

HSA for health coverage. Approximately 20% of City employees and 27% of retirees use the HMO option; approximately 72% of City employees and 72% of retirees use the PPO option; and approximately 8% of City employees and 1% of retirees use the CDHP with HSA option. Costs are charged to City funds through a charge per employee per pay period.

Liability Reserve This self-insured program includes losses and claims related to liability for bodily injury,

property damage, professional liability, and certain employment liability. Premiums are charged to other City funds each year based on historical costs. Beginning in 2017, third-party claims activities are being reported directly in the Austin Energy, Austin Water Utility, and Aviation enterprise funds.

Workers’ Compensation Premium charges for this self-insured program are assessed to other funds each year

based on the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) employees per fund.

14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, continued k -- Risk-Related Contingencies, continued The City purchases stop-loss insurance for the City’s PPO, HMO, and CDHP plans. This stop-loss insurance covers individual claims that exceed $500,000 per calendar year, up to a maximum of $5 million. In calendar year 2017 (through September 30), four claims exceeded the stop-loss limit of $500,000; during calendar years 2016 and 2015, fifteen claims and ten claims, respectively, exceeded the stop-loss limit of $500,000. City coverage is unlimited for lifetime benefits. The City does not purchase stop-loss insurance for workers’ compensation claims. The City is self-insured for much of its risk exposure; however, the City purchases commercial insurance coverage for loss or damage to real property, theft and other criminal acts committed by employees, and third party liability associated with the airport, owned aircraft, and electric utility operations. There have been no claims settlements in excess of the purchased insurance coverage for the last three years. The City also purchases insurance coverage through a program that provides workers’ compensation, employer’s liability, and third party liability coverage to contractors working on designated capital improvement project sites. Liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported. The City utilizes actuarial information and historical claim settlement trends to determine the claim liabilities for the Employee Benefits Fund and Workers’ Compensation Fund. Claims liabilities for the Austin Energy, Austin Water Utility, Airport and Liability Reserve funds are calculated based on an estimate of outstanding claims, which may differ from the actual amounts paid. Possible losses are estimated to range from $51.7 to $55.7 million. In accordance with GAAP, $51.7 million is recognized as claims payable in the financial statements with $28.8 million recognized as a current liability and $22.9 million recognized as long term. For Employee Benefits and Workers Compensation, city funds contribute amounts to these internal service funds based on an estimate of anticipated costs for claims each year. Beginning in fiscal year 2017, the Austin Energy, Austin Water utility, and Airport funds report their respective claims activities for third-party claims. All other funds contribute amounts to the Liability Reserve Fund based on an estimate of anticipated costs for claims each year.

BUDGET BASIS REPORTING a -- General The City of Austin prepares its annual operating budget based on the modified accrual basis. Encumbrances constitute the equivalent of expenditures for budgetary purposes. In order to provide a meaningful comparison of actual results to the budget, the Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances -- Budget and Actual-Budget Basis for the General Fund presents the actual and actual-budget basis amounts in comparison with original and final budgets. The General Fund, as reported in the financial statements is comprised of nine separately budgeted funds: the Budgetary General Fund, as budgeted by the City, plus the Budget Stabilization Reserve, Community Development Incentives, Economic Development, Economic Incentives Reserve, Emergency Reserve, Long Center Capital Improvements, Music Venue Assistance Program, and the Property Tax Reserve Fund. The General Fund budget includes other revenues and requirements, which are presented in the general city responsibilities category. The expenditure budget for these general city requirements includes interdepartmental charges ($6,137,157). b -- Budget Amendments The original revenue budget of the General Fund was not amended during fiscal year 2017. The original expenditure budget of the General Fund was amended during fiscal year 2017 for the addition of one full time position at the Austin Fire Department ($83,000). This increase was offset by a reimbursement from Aviation. In addition, an increase in expenditures in the Austin Fire Department for the increase in overtime due to staffing shortage. The Budget Stabilization Reserve transferred ($3.5 million) to Austin Fire to fund this additional expense. c -- Reconciliation of GAAP Basis and Budget Basis Amounts The primary differences between GAAP-basis and budget-basis reporting for the General Fund are the reporting of encumbrances and the reporting of certain transfers. General Fund accrued payroll is recorded at the department level on a GAAP basis and as an expenditure in the general city responsibilities activity on the budget basis. Adjustments necessary to convert the excess revenues and other sources over expenditures and other uses on a GAAP basis to a budget basis for the activities comprising the General Fund are provided, as follows (in thousands):

Source: Taxing jurisdictions, Travis, Williamson, and Hays Central Appraisal Districts and Municipal Advisory Council of Texas Note: Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the City. This schedule estimates the portion

of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the City residents and businesses. This process recognizes that, when considering the City's ability to issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into account. However, this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident, and therefore responsible for repaying the debt of each overlapping government.

(1) Excludes general obligation debt reported in proprietary funds. See Note 6. (2) Based on assessed valuation of $125,371,654,656 provided by the Travis, Williamson, and Hays Central Appraisal Districts. (3) Based on 2017 estimated population of 946,080.

Note: Ad valorem tax limitations: The City is permitted by Article XI, Section 5 of the State of Texas Constitution to levy taxes up to $2.50 per $100 of assessed valuation for general governmental services, including payment of principal and interest on general obligation long-term debt. However, under the City Charter, a limitation on taxes levied for general governmental services, exclusive of payments of principal and interest on general obligation long-term debt, has been established at $1.00 per $100 per assessed valuation. A practical limitation on taxes levied for debt service of $1.50 per $100 of addressed valuation is established by referring to the State Statute and City Charter limitations.

(1) Assessed value 100% of estimated market value as of January 1, 2016, of $125,371,654,656 at a 99% collection rate. (2) Assuming the maximum tax rate for debt service of $1.50 on January 1, 2016, for collections on $124,117,938 results in tax revenues of $1,861,769.

This revenue could service the debt on $18,279,122 issued as 8% - 20-year serial bonds with level debt service payments.

Note: Details regarding the City's outstanding debt can be found in the notes to the financial statements. (1) Operating revenue, rental tax revenue, hotel tax revenue, and interest income. (2) Operating expenses other than interest on debt, depreciation, amortization, and year-end unfunded other postemployment benefit and pension expenses. (3) Debt service calculations are done on a cash basis rather than the accrual basis used in preparation of the financial statements. Airport excludes debt service amounts paid with passenger facility charge revenue and restricted bond proceeds applied to current interest payments. (4) Revenue bond coverage is equal to net revenue available for debt service divided by total principal and interest payments made during each fiscal year. Coverage includes prior, subordinate, and separate lien bonds only. For Austin Water Utility, this methodology does not follow exactly the coverage calculation required by the master ordinance. (5) Pursuant to bond ordinance, Airport is authorized to use "other available funds" in the calculation of revenue bond coverage to not exceed 25% of the debt service requirements.
