INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT Members of the City Council City of Noble, Oklahoma Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying modified cash basis financial statements of the government activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Noble, Oklahoma as of and for the year ended June 30, 2018, and the related notes to the financial, 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 the modified cash basis of accounting described in Note 1.C.; this includes determining that the modified cash basis of accounting is an acceptable basis for preparation of the financial statements in the circumstances. Management is also responsible for 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. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of 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 principles 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective modified cash basis financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Noble, Oklahoma, as of June 30, 2018, and the respective changes in modified cash basis financial position, and where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with the modified cash basis of accounting described in Note 1.C.

A - 2

Basis of Accounting We draw attention to Note 1.C.of the financial statements, which describes the basis of accounting. The financial statements are prepared on a modified cash basis of accounting which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter. Other Matters Supplementary and Other Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Noble, Oklahoma basic financial statements. The Supplementary and Other Information, as listed in the table of contents, are presented for additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining statements of the general fund and the non-major fund financial statements, and the federal and state awards information are the responsibility of management, and were derived from and related directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion the combining statements of the general fund and the non-major fund financial statements, and the federal and state awards information are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. The Management’s Discussion and Analysis starting on page A-3 and the budgetary comparison information on pages C-1, C-2 and C-3 which are the responsibility of management, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.

A- 4

The City’s Financial Reporting Entity

This annual report includes all activities of which the City of Noble City Council is financially accountable. These activities, defined as the City’s financial reporting entity, are operated with separate legal entities that make up the primary government. The City’s financial reporting entity includes the following separate legal entities.

The City of Noble - an incorporated City that operates the public safety, streets, health and welfare, culture and recreation, and administrative activities of the City.

Noble Utilities Authority - A public trust created pursuant to 60 O.S. ₰ 176 to finance, develop, and operate the utility services and physical facilities (NUA).

Noble Economic Development Authority - The trust has as its purpose to stimulate economic growth and development of the beneficiary City (NEDA). The NEDA is financially inactive.

Noble EMS District - The Noble EMS District was formed under the provisions of the Oklahoma Constitution, Article 10, Section 9C for the purpose of providing ambulance service within a district comprised of the municipal limits of the City of Noble, Oklahoma.

In addition, as required by state law, all debt obligations incurred by the trusts must be approved by two-third vote of the City Council. This is considered sufficient imposition of will to demonstrate financial accountability and to include the trust within the City’s financial reporting entity. The public trust does not issue separate annual financial statements.

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements presented herein include all the activities of the City of Noble (the “City”) and the Noble Utilities Authority (the “NUA”) and the EMS District. Included in this report are government-wide statements for each of the two categories of activities – government and business type. The government-wide financial statements present the complete financial picture of the City using the modified cash basis of accounting. They present the governmental and business-type activities separately and combined. For governmental activities, these statements tell how these services were financed in the short term as well as what remains for future spending. Fund financial statements also report the City’s operations in more detail that the government-wide statements by providing information about the City’s most significant funds. These statements include all assets of the City (including infrastructure) as well as all liabilities (including long-term debt), within the context of the modified cash basis of accounting. Reporting the City as a Whole The Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities

One of the most important questions to ask about the City’s finances is, “Has the City’s overall financial condition improved, declined or remained steady as a result of the year’s activities?” The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities report information about the City as a whole and about its activities in a way that helps answer this question. You will need to consider other non-factors, however,

A- 5

such as changes in the City’s sales tax base, condition of the City’s roads, and quality of service to assess the overall health of the City. You will also need to keep in mind that these government-wide statements are prepared in accordance with the modified cash basis of accounting described above and include only those City assets and liabilities resulting from cash transactions. In the Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities, we divide the City into two kinds of activities Governmental activities – Most of the City’s basic services are reported here, including the police, fire, administration, streets and ambulance services. Sales taxes, franchise fees, fines, ambulance fees and state and federal grants finance most of these activities; and Business-type activities – Activities where the City typically charges a fee to customers to help cover all or most of the costs of certain services it provides are reported here. The City’s water, wastewater, and sanitation are reported as business-type activities. Reporting the City’s Most Significant Funds – Fund Financial Statements Fund Financial Statements The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the City’s most significant (major) funds – not the City as a whole. Some funds are required to be established by State law and by debt covenants. However, the City Council may also establish certain other funds to help it control and manage money for particular purposes or to show that it is meeting legal responsibilities for using taxes, grants and other money. The City’s two kinds of funds – governmental and proprietary – use different accounting approaches. Governmental funds – All of the City’s basic services are reported in governmental funds, which focus on how money flows into and out of those funds and the balances left at year-end that are available for spending. Governmental funds report their activities on a modified cash basis of accounting and current financial resources measurement focus that is different from other funds. For example, these funds report the acquisition of capital assets and payments for debt principal as expenditures and not as changes to asset and debt balances. The governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view of the City’s general government operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information helps you determine (through a review of changes to fund balance) whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the City’s programs. The differences of results in the governmental fund financial statements to those in the government-wide financial statements are explained in a reconciliation following the governmental fund financial statement. Proprietary funds – The City operates two proprietary funds, the Noble Utility Authority (major fund) and the related meter deposit fund (non-major fund). When the City, through the Utility Authority, charges customers for the services it provides, these services are generally reported in the proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are reported on the modified cash basis of accounting and an economic resources measurement focus. For example, proprietary fund assets are capitalized and depreciated and principal payments on long-term debt are recorded as a reduction to the liability. The City’s proprietary funds are the Nobile Utility Authority that accounts for the operation of the water, wastewater and sanitation activities, and the related meter deposit fund accounts for customers’ utility deposits. Notes to the Financial Statements The notes provide additional information that is essential to gain an understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The Notes to the Financial Statements can be found on pages B-9 through B-26 of this report.

NET POSITION

Governmental TotalBusiness-type

Activities Activities Government

The largest portion of the City’s net position reflects its investment in capital assets, less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. At year end, the net investment in capital assets amounted to $8,010,448. 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 used to liquidate these liabilities. Current assets of the governmental activities decreased approximately $130,024 or 19% due primarily to purchase of capital assets. Current assets of the business-type activities increased approximately $402,289 or 24% due primarily to increase of service revenues.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S ESTIMATE The following information outlines significant known factors that will affect subsequent year finances:

We expect Noble’s financial position to be a carbon copy of the last year. The regional economy remains strong and unemployment is still at historic lows. We anticipate small growth in sales tax revenues as well as service fees. Noble will continue to show a healthy growth in population driven mostly be new residential subdivisions. Commercial building vacancies are at an all-time low and new businesses are anticipated.

Noble’s cash reserves are healthy, so we will draw down reserves for a couple of large capital projects: A children’s playground, and a street overlay. Because we have paid off significant debt last year, we have the positive cash flow to finance a new digital water meter project and continue to lease purchase police and public works vehicles. We will continue conservative policies and make adjustments in spending if necessary.

Contacting the City’s Management

This financial report is intended to provide our citizens, taxpayers, customers and investors with a general overview of the City’s finances and to show the City’s accountability for the money it receives. If you have questions about this report or need additional information, we welcome you to contact the City Clerk’s office.

CITY OF NOBLE, OKLAHOMA Notes to the Basic Financial Statements

For the Year Ended June 30, 2018

B - 9

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

1.A. Financial Reporting Entity The City’s financial reporting entity includes the primary government (City of Noble), and its blended component units. This report includes all activities for which the City of Noble’s City Council is fiscally responsible. In determining the financial reporting entity, the City complies with the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 14, “The Financial Reporting Entity” as amended by Statement No. 61 “The Financial Reporting Entity: Omnibus” and includes all component units for which the City is financially accountable.

The City of Noble – that operates the public safety, health and welfare, streets and highways, parks and recreation, and administrative activities.

The City of Noble is an incorporated municipality with a population of approximately 6,400 located in central Oklahoma. The City is a Council/Manager form of government and operates under a charter that provides for three branches of government:

Legislative – the City Council is a five-member governing body of which the council members are elected by wards and the mayor is elected by the citizens at large

Executive – the City Manager is the Chief Executive Officer and is appointed by the City Council

Judicial – the Municipal Judge is a practicing attorney appointed by the City Council

Blended Component Units

Noble Utilities Authority - The trust has as its purpose to finance, develop, and operate the utility services and physical facilities (NUA). Noble Economic Development Authority - The trust has as its purpose to stimulate economic growth and development of the beneficiary City (NEDA). The NEDA is financially inactive. The component unit is a Public Trust established pursuant to Title 60 of Oklahoma State law. Public Trusts (Authorities) have no taxing power. The Authorities are generally created to finance City services through issuance of revenue bonds or other non-general obligation debt and to enable the City Council to delegate certain functions to the governing body (Trustees) of the Authority. The Authorities generally retain title to assets, which are acquired or constructed with Authority debt, or other Authority generated resources. In addition, the City has leased certain existing assets at the creation for the Authorities to the Trustees on a long-term basis. The City, as beneficiary of the Public Trusts, receives title to any residual assets when a Public Trust is dissolved. The NUA has the City Council as heir governing body (trustee) and the City is able to impose its will on the Authority through required approval of all debt obligations issued by these entities. As required by state law, all debt obligations incurred by the NUA must be approved by two-third vote of the City Council. This is considered sufficient imposition of will to demonstrate financial accountability and to include the trust within the City’s financial reporting entity. The public trust does not issue separate annual financial statements. Noble EMS District - The Noble EMS District was formed under the provisions of the Oklahoma Constitution, Article 10, Section 9C for the purpose of providing ambulance service within a district comprised of the municipal limits of the City of Noble, Oklahoma.



B - 10

The Noble EMS District and the City of Noble entered into an agreement in October 5, 2009 whereas the City agrees to account for ambulance revenues and expenses, to provide space for medical technicians, vehicles, equipment and supplies, to contract for lease purchase of ambulance vehicles and equipment, to provide training and uniforms for EMS technicians, to provide dispatcher service, and to provide office help. The District agrees to delegate to the City all hiring authority, to determine what level of ambulance service will be provided, to prepare the fiscal year budget and to issue bonds, if needed. All revenue from the district is given to the City’s EMS Fund and the City bills and makes all decisions related the ambulance operations.

1.B. Basis of Presentation

Government-Wide Financial Statements - The Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely, to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Fund Financial Statements - Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.

1.C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures/expenses are recognized and reported in the financial statements. This relates to the timing of the revenues, expenditures/expenses regardless of the measurement focus applied. Measurement focus identifies which transactions and events should be recorded. In the governmental fund financial statements, a current financial resources measurement focus is applied. In the government-wide Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities, and the proprietary funds, an economic resources measurement focus is applied. Both governmental and business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements and the fund financial statements are presented using a modified cash basis of accounting. This modified cash basis of accounting is based on the recording of cash and cash equivalents and changes therein, and only recognizes revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities resulting from cash transactions adjusted for modifications that have substantial support in generally accepted accounting principles. These modifications include adjustments for the following balances arising from cash transactions:

capital assets and the depreciation of those assets, where applicable

long-term debt

cash-based interfund receivables and payables, if any

investments and other deposits

utility deposit liabilities



B - 11

This basis is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As a result of the use of the modified cash basis of accounting, certain assets and their related revenues (such as accounts receivable and revenue for billed or provided services not yet collected, and accrued revenue and receivables) and certain liabilities and their related expenses (such as accounts payable and expenses for goods or services received but not yet paid, and accrued expenses and liabilities) are not recorded in these financial statements. If the City used the basis of accounting required by generally accepted accounting principles, the fund financial statements for governmental funds would use the modified accrual basis of accounting and the fund financial statements for proprietary fund types would use the accrual basis of accounting. All government-wide financial statements would be presented on the accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues would be recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e. both measurable and available) and expenditures would be recorded when the current liability is incurred. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the liability is incurred. Program revenues within the statement of activities are derived from each activity or from parties outside the City’s taxpayers. The City has the following program revenues in each activity:

Public Safety: EMS runs, police fines and grants

Streets: Gas excise, commercial vehicle taxes, street lights and operating and capital grants

General Government: license and permits and operating and capital grants

Parks: Rentals and operating and capital grants The City reports the following funds: Governmental Funds

Major Governmental Funds:

General Fund - is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.

Special Revenue Funds

Noble EMS Fund - accounts for emergency medical service activities.

Aggregated Non-Major Governmental Funds:

Special Revenue Funds:

Noble EMS District - accounts for emergency medical service activities (blended component unit). The district receives voter approved ad valorem taxes for operations and has debt funded from voter approved ad valorem taxes. Its operations are handled by the City and it contracts with the City handle the EMS operations. Therefore, the operation ad valorem tax is transferred to the City EMS fund.

Debt Service Funds

Noble Sinking Fund – to account for ad valorem tax collections to liquidate 2012 bonds for street improvements



B - 12

Capital Project Fund:

2016 GO Bond EMS District Project Fund – to account for bond proceeds for EMS District capital assets.

Proprietary Funds

Enterprise funds: are used to account for business-like activities provided to the general public. These activities are financed primarily by user charges and measurement of financial activity focuses on net income measurement similar to the private sector. The reporting entity includes the Noble Utility Authority enterprise fund and the related meter deposit fund. This fund accounts for activities of the public trust in providing water, wastewater and sanitation services to the public.

Major Enterprise Funds:

Noble Utilities Authority – that operates the water, sewer, and sanitation services of the City (blended component unit).

Non-Major Enterprise Funds:

Meter Fund - accounts for refundable water meter deposits.

The City’s policy is to eliminate interfund transfers and balances in the statement of activities and net assets to avoid the grossing up of balances. Only the residual balances transferred between governmental and business-type activities are reported as internal transfers and internal balances and then offset in the total column in the government-wide statements. Interfund transfers and balances between funds are not eliminated in the fund financial statements.

Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City’s enterprise fund are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for the enterprise fund include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.

All of the above funds are legally required to adopt annual budgets or appropriations. The public trust (or Authority) is not required to adopt legal annual appropriations. While each trust develops an annual budget, it is for financial management purposes and does not constitute legal appropriations.

1.D. Assets, Liabilities and Fund Equity Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments - The City’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposit accounts, interest bearing checking accounts and time deposit accounts including certificates of deposit with maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition and open-end government mutual funds. Investments for the City, as well as for its component units, are reported at cost. Deposits with Insurance Pool - Typically past refunds or interest earnings left on deposit with the Workers Compensation Insurance Plan to be disbursed upon instruction by the City of Noble. This deposit is held in escrow by the insurance pool and is invested. It is included in the cash and cash equivalents.



B - 13

Restricted Assets - Restricted assets include assets that are legally restricted as to their use. The primary restricted assets are related to customer utility deposits and trustee accounts restricted for debt service and capital improvements. Capital Assets – The accounting treatment of property, plant and equipment (capital assets) depends on whether they are reported in the government-wide or fund financial statements. In the government-wide statements and proprietary fund financial statements, capital assets are accounted for as capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation where applicable. In governmental fund financial statements, capital assets acquired are accounted for as capital outlay expenditures and not reported as capital assets. Capital assets consist of land, construction in progress, buildings, improvements, utility property/improvements, vehicles and equipment, surplus property and infrastructure. Recorded assets are reported at actual or estimated historical cost. A capitalization threshold of $2,000 is used to report capital assets. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation. Estimated historical cost was used to value the majority of the assets, including infrastructure assets (such as roads, bridges, traffic systems) acquired prior to July 1, 2003. However, the infrastructure assets related to the current debt of the City and the Authority as of June 30, 2004 have been capitalized based upon the original bond issue cost or other debt. Infrastructure assets acquired since July 1, 2003 are recorded at cost. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed. The depreciable capital assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives. The range of estimated useful lives by type of asset is as follows:

Buildings 40 years

Improvements other than buildings 20 years

Vehicles and equipment 10 years

Utility property and improvements 40-50 years

General Infrastructure 15-50 years Due to Depositors - Represents the funds received from customers for their water utility deposits. These deposits are refunded or credited to the customer upon termination of the utility service and payment of all charges due and connected with the service. Effective August 2000, utility customers having a five-year history of good payment are eligible for a refund of their deposit. Police Bond Liability - Represents municipal court bonds held for individuals awaiting court dates. Long-Term Obligations – In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net assets. Long-term debt for governmental funds is not reported as liabilities in the fund financial statements. The debt proceeds are reported as other financing sources and payment of principal and interest reported as debt service expenditures.



B - 14

Compensated Absences – As a result of the use of the modified cash basis of accounting, accrued liabilities related to compensated absences (accumulated but unused vacation leave and compensatory time earned but unpaid at year-end), are not reflected in the financial statements. Expenditures/expenses related to compensated absences are recorded when paid. The amount of accrued compensated absences has been reported as a commitment in Note 4.C. Equity Classifications – In the government-wide and the proprietary fund financial statements, equity is classified as net position and displayed in three components:

a. Invested in capital assets, net of related debt – Consists of capital assets including restricted capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes, or other borrowings that are attributed to the acquisition, construction, or improvements of those assets.

b. Restricted – Consists of net position with constraints placed on the use either by 1) external groups

such as creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws and regulations of other governments, or 2) law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

c. Unrestricted – All other net positions that do not meet the definition of “restricted” or “invested in

capital assets, net of related debt.”

It is the City’s policy to first use restricted net position prior to the use of unrestricted net position when an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net position are available.

Fund Statements: Governmental fund equity is classified as fund balance. Fund balance is further classified as nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned. These classifications are defined as:

a. Nonspendable – includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.

b. Restricted – consists of fund balance with constraints placed on the use of resources either by (1)

external groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments, or (2) laws through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

c. Committed – included amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constrains

imposed by formal action of the Town’s highest level of decision-making authority. The Town’s highest level of decision-making authority is made by ordinance while the MMA’s highest level of decision-making authority is made by resolution.

d. Assigned – includes amounts that are constrained by the Town’s intent to be used for specific

purposes but are neither restricted nor committed. Assignments of fund balance may be made by Town council action or management decision when the Town council has delegated that authority. Assignments for transfers and interest income for governmental funds are made through budgetary process.

e. Unassigned – represents fund balance that has not been assigned to other funds and has not been

restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes within the general fund.

It is the City’s policy to first use restricted fund balance prior to the use of unrestricted fund balance when an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balances are available. The City’s policy for the use of unrestricted fund balance amounts require that committed amounts would be reduced first, followed by assigned amounts and then unassigned amounts when expenditures are incurred for



B - 15

purposes for which amounts in any of those unrestricted fund balance classifications could be used. The only exception to this policy is for assigned interest income in governmental funds other than the General Fund to be spent prior to restricted fund balance. In those funds, interest income is used first before other revenues.

1.E. Sales Tax Revenue

Sales Tax - The City presently levies a four-cent sales tax on taxable sales within the City. The sales tax is collected by the Oklahoma Tax Commission and remitted to the City in the month following receipt by the Tax Commission. The sales tax recorded is allocated one hundred percent to the General Fund. The City has pledged the four-cent sales tax to secure debt service payments in the Noble Utilities Authority. The sales tax is transferred to NUA each month. The Authority has the right to return to the City any part of the appropriated sales tax, if there is no event of default. For the year ended June 30, 2018, the City of Noble transferred sales tax of $1415,257 to NUA and NUA transferred $1,415,257 back to the General Fund of the City of Noble to be used by the City.

1.F. Property Tax Revenue

Property Tax - Under State law, municipalities are limited in their ability to levy a property tax. Such tax may only be levied to repay principal and interest on general obligation bonded debt approved by the voters. At present time the City levies a property tax to fund the annual debt service requirements of the 2012 Street Improvement General Obligation Bonds. During the current fiscal year the Noble EMS District paid in full the 2006 Noble Emergency Medical Service District General Obligation Bonds and enacted a 2016 Noble Emergency Medical Service District General Obligation Bonds. The District did not levy a property tax to fund the annual debt service requirements the General Obligation Bonds during the current fiscal year, however will levy a property tax in the coming fiscal year. The EMS District also levies 3.08 mills for the operation of the EMS services in the District. The property tax levy, as determined by the City and the Noble EMS District’s debt service needs, is submitted to the county excise board for approval. The county assessor, upon receipt of the certification of tax levies from the county excise board, extends the tax levies on the tax roll for submission to the county treasurer prior to October 1; the county treasurer must commence tax collection within fifteen days of receipt of the tax rolls. The first half of taxes is due prior to January 1. The second half is due prior to April 1. If the first payment is not made timely, the entire tax becomes due and payable on January 2. Second half taxes become delinquent on April 1 of the year following the year of assessment. If not paid by the following October 1, the property is offered for sale for the amount of taxes due. The owner has two years to redeem the property by paying the taxes and penalty owed. If at the end of two years the owner has not done so, the purchaser is issued a deed to the property.

1.G. Use of Estimates

In preparing the City of Noble’s financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Depreciation is an estimate of the allocation of the cost of assets over its estimated useful life.



B - 16

Note 2 – Stewardship, Compliance, and Accountability

2.A. Budgetary Information The city manager submits an annual budget to the City Council in accordance with the Oklahoma Municipal Budget Act. In June the City Council adopts annual fiscal year appropriated budgets for all city funds. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, department and categories (personal services, materials and supplies, other services and charges, capital outlay, debt service and transfers). Transfers of appropriations between departments within a fund require the approval of the City Manager. Transfers of appropriations between funds and supplements to the budget require City Council approval. The legal level of budgetary control (i.e., the level at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations) is the department level. The Sinking Fund and Emergency Medical Service Board estimate of needs must be filed with the county excise board.

As of June 30, 2018, the City was exposed to custodial credit risk. The money market mutual funds are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. The other City accounts were fully collateralized at June 30, 2018.

Oklahoma Statutes allow the City to invest in: (1) full faith and credit, direct obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities, and the State of Oklahoma and certain mortgage insured federal debt; (2) certificates of deposits or savings accounts



B - 17

that are either insured or secured with acceptable collateral; (3) negotiable certificates of deposit, prime bankers acceptances, prime commercial paper and repurchase agreements with certain limitations; (4) county, municipal or school district tax supported debt obligations, bond or revenue anticipation notes, money judgments, or bond or revenue anticipation notes of public trusts whose beneficiary is a county, municipality, or school district; and government money market funds regulated by the SEC. Public trusts created under O.S. Title 60, are not subject to the above investment limitations and are primarily governed by any restrictions in their trust or note indenture. The City’s only marketable investments at June 30, 2018 consisted of $19,889 in open ended mutual funds invested in U.S. Treasury securities with a Standard & Poor’s credit rating of AAA.

Note 4 - Other Notes

4.A. Risk Management

The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, or destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; employee health and life; and natural disasters. The City manages these various risks of loss as follows:

General Liability, Fleet Coverage, and Physical Property – Covered through participation in Oklahoma Municipal Assurance Group risk entity pool.

Fire Department Vehicles – Covered through participation in the Risk Management Division of the Department of Central Services, State of Oklahoma self-insurance pool.

Workers’ Compensation – Workers’ compensation is covered through participation in the Oklahoma Municipal Assurance Group risk entity pool.

Employee’s Group Medical – Covered through purchase of commercial insurance. The City’s risk is transferred to the risk entity pool except for claim deductible amounts. The risk pool maintains deposits for claim reserves and other purposes for the benefit of the city. Management believes the insurance coverage listed above is sufficient to preclude any significant uninsured losses to the City, and such claims have not exceeded the coverage over the past three years.



B - 25

4.B. Contingencies

Federal and State Award Programs - The City of Noble participates in various federal and state grant/loan programs from year to year. Amounts received or receivable from grantor agencies are often subject to audit and adjustment by the grantor agencies, principally the federal government. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute a liability of the applicable fund. The amount, if any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor agency cannot be determined at this time, although the City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.

Litigation - The City is a party to various legal proceedings that normally occur in the course of governmental operations. The financial statements do not include accrual or provision for loss contingencies that may result from these proceedings. State statutes provide for the levy of an ad valorem tax over a three-year period by a City Sinking Fund for the payment of any court-assessed judgment rendered against the City. This provision is not applicable to authorities or public trusts. While the outcome of the above noted proceedings cannot be predicted, due to the insurance coverage maintained by the City and the State statute relating to judgments, the City feels that any settlement or judgment not covered by insurance would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the City.

4.C. Commitments

Compensated Absences – As a result of the City’s use of the modified cash basis of accounting, accrued liabilities related to compensated absences (accumulated but unused vacation leave, compensatory time earned but unpaid at year-end, and banked holiday also fire and police sick leave) are not reflected in the financial statements. Governmental funds obligation for accrued compensated absences is $492,631 while the General Fund unassigned fund balance is $248,386 at June 30, 2018. Proprietary funds obligation for accrued compensated absences is $32,333, while the NUA unrestricted fund balance is $1,198,058 at June 30, 2018. Equipment Purchase – At June 30, 2018, the City has a contract to purchase an auto water meter system, contract amount is $681,092.

4.D. Employee Pension Plans

The City of Noble participates in four pension or retirement plans:

1. Oklahoma Firefighter’s Pension and Retirement System (OFPRS) – a statewide cost-sharing plan 2. Oklahoma Police Pension and Retirement System (OPPRS) – a statewide cost-sharing plan 3. Oklahoma Municipal Retirement Fund (OMRF) – a cost sharing multiple-employer defined benefit

The required contribution was determined as part of the March 2015 actuarial valuation using the entry age normal actuarial cost method. The actuarial assumptions included (a) 7.5% investment rate of return, and (b) projected salary increases due to inflation of 3% compounded annually (higher for younger employees), and projected salary increases due to age/seniority, compounded annually. Funding requirements may increase in the future as benefits accrue.

1. The budgetary comparison schedules are reported on the same modified cash basis as

governmental funds within the basic financial statements. For budgetary comparison

purposes, the City considers all encumbrances as expenditures at yearend. However, the

City financial statements are reported on the modified cash basis and so expenditure are only

recorded when they are paid.

2. The legal level of appropriation control is the department level within a fund. Transfers of

appropriation within a fund require City Manager’s approval, while supplemental

appropriations require City Council approval.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER

FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF THE ACCOMPANYING FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS

Members of the City Council City of Noble, Oklahoma We have audited audit, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the accompanying modified cash basis financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Noble, Oklahoma, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2018, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated November 15, 2018. The report was a special report on the City’s use of a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedure that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

City of Noble, Oklahoma Page 2

E - 2

Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of This Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Deficiencies of Internal Control, Compliance and Other Matters:

No findings noted in current year.


DISPOSITION OF PRIOR YEAR FINDINGS


E -4

Deficiencies of Internal Control, Compliance and Other Matters:

17-001. Criteria – In order to assure good internal control over revenues received the City should maintain

documentation for all income received. This is especially important for revenues that are not part

of an on-going billing system.

Condition – The receipt documentation book generally retains remittance advices to document

receipts for income that is not part of a normal billing process such as oil and gas permits.

However, for the first half of the 2016-17 year there were some receipts that did not retain the

documentation that had been received with the income.

Disposition – This was not a finding in the 2017-2018 year.

17-002. Criteria – Oklahoma Statues Title 11, Section 17:211A states “No expenditure may be authorized

or made by any officer or employee which exceeds the appropriation of any fund”.

Condition – Expenditures exceeded total appropriations in the Noble EMS Fund by $273,552.


17-003. Criteria – Bond proceeds and uses should be tracked in a fund with the entity’s name which issued

the bond.

Condition – The Noble EMS District, a component unit, has issued a bond in the 2015-16 year.

These funds were transferred to the City. The City setup a separate City bank account and most of

the proceeds from this bond were spent in the 2016-17 year. The City used the Noble EMS fund to

account for the EMS District’s bond.
