Independent Auditor’s Report

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the business-type activities of the Wheaton Sanitary District, as of and for the years ended April 30, 2016 and 2015 and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’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.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits 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 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 District’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 District’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 opinion.

Opinions

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the business-type activities of the Wheaton Sanitary District as of April 30, 2016 and 2015 and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows thereof for the years 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 management’s discussion and analysis on pages 4 through 10, the Schedule of Changes in Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios of the IMRF on page 27 and the Schedule of Contributions of the IMRF on page 28 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 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 District’s basic financial statements. The Combining Schedule of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position, the Schedule of Operating Expenses – User Charge Fund – Budget and Actual, and the Schedule of Capital Outlays – Budget and Actual are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.

The supplemental information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates 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 supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

WHEATON SANITARY DISTRICT MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

APRIL 30, 2016 AND 2015

4

Wheaton Sanitary District presents the following discussion and analysis of the District’s financial performance during the fiscal year ending on April 30, 2016. Readers are encouraged to consider the Management Discussion and Analysis, the financial statements, and the notes to the financial statements, to enhance their understanding of the District’s financial performance. Due to the adoption of new governmental accounting standards, only one year of financial data is presented in the financial statements. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Total assets increased $4,649 thousand, and liabilities increased $3,160 thousand.

Total operating revenue increased $979 thousand or 14% Operating expenses increased $671 thousand or 11.8%

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS This annual report includes this management’s discussion and analysis, the report of the independent auditor and the basic financial statements of the District. The financial statements include notes that provide greater detail on some of the information in the financial statements. REQUIRED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The District’s financial statements report information using accounting methods similar to those used by private sector companies. These statements offer short and long-term financial information about its activities. The Statement of Net Position includes the District’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources and provides information about the nature and amounts of investments in resources (assets) and the obligations to creditors (liabilities). Deferred outflows (inflows) of resources provide information about the consumption (acquisition) of Net Position by the government that is applicable to a future reporting period. The Statement also provides the basis for evaluating the financial structure and assessing the liquidity and financial flexibility of the District. Current year revenue and expenses are accounted for in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position. This statement measures the success of the District’s operations over the past year and can be used to determine whether the District has successfully recovered all of its costs through its user fees and other charges, increased its reserves for future asset replacement, and its credit worthiness. The Statement of Cash Flows reports cash receipts, cash payments, and net changes in cash resulting from operations, investing, and financing activities. It provides answers to questions such as where did cash come from, what was cash used for, and what was the change in the cash balance.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE DISTRICT An important financial question for the District is “how did we do financially during the year?” The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position report information about the District’s activities that will help answer that question. These two statements report the Net Position of the District and the changes in them. The net difference between the assets and deferred outflows of resources, and liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, is one way to measure the financial health of the District. Over time, increases or decreases of the District’s Net Position can be an indicator of whether its financial strength is improving or deteriorating. However, one needs to consider other non-financial factors such as changes in economic conditions, population growth, and new/changed government regulations. NET POSITION A summary of the District’s Statement of Net Position is given in Table A-1.

See Note 4, Changes in Capital Assets, for additional information on the District’s capital assets. DEBT ADMINISTRATION In June 2006, the District issued a $5,000,000 debt certificate which was committed to capital improvement projects identified in a 2006 facilities plan. The effective interest rate on the debt certificate is 4.235%, and the term is 15 years. Principal on the certificate is due annually in December and interest payments are due in June and December. In FY 2010, the District obtained a combination Water Pollution Control Loan Program (WPCLP) and American Recovery and Reinvestment (ARRA) loan totaling more than $17 million. Approximately $4.3 million was forgiven in fiscal year ending April 30, 2013. The remaining balance will be paid off over 20 years with interest at zero percent.

In FY 2015, the District obtained an IEPA Loan of $4.7 million for upgrading the intermediate pump station. In addition, a $1 million grant was obtained from the Illinois Department of Economic Opportunity (DCEO), and $250,000 was used to make an initial payment against the $4.7 million Project. However, the grant is currently suspended, but the District is hopeful that the balance of the $750,000 grant will be taken off suspension. In FY 2016, the District applied for and anticipates receiving an IEPA loan of approximately $1,000,000 for engineering and construction costs related to replacement of bar screens, scheduled for completion in FY 2017. The District is in the final stages of negotiating easements for the Northside Interceptor Sewer Replacement. Design work is anticipated to be completed shortly after the easements are acquired. Construction is anticipated to start in 2017 at an estimated cost range of $35 to $40 million dollars. Borrowing for this project is anticipated from an IEPA revolving loan as the optimal funding mechanism because of the low interest rates offered compared to the bond market. The District continues to monitor and update its rate study with the services of Galardi-Rothstein Group to ensure that cash flow will be adequate to meet normal operating expenses and long term payment of loans. User charge rates are anticipated to be increased at close to 10% for the next few years. Although the District has taxing authority, a referendum would be required to levy taxes because the District did not levy taxes when tax caps went into effect. See Note 6, Long-Term Debt, for additional information on the District’s debt. ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGET AND RATES The methodology for establishing user charge rates, the major source of revenue for the operating and capital funds, is established in the User Charge Ordinance adopted in 1976. This analysis is presented at a public hearing each year. After receiving comments from the public, the budget is reviewed by the Board of Trustees. There is a significant amount of tax exempt property within the District’s boundaries, and this is one of the primary reasons the District does not levy property taxes. In addition, the user charge system is deemed by the District to be a more equitable method of revenue generation by charging the cost of the services to those that use them the most. With reliance on user charges, projecting the amount of water to be used by its customers in the coming year becomes critical. Billed water use varies based on the amount of rainfall experienced. The District budgets for billable water use based on historical trends. Annual water use varies depending on factors including temperature, occupancy, and precipitation. A summary of water consumption and precipitation over the last ten years is given in Table A-4. A graphic illustration of water consumption figures and precipitation over the last 10 fiscal years is provided in Figure 1.

Based on Illinois Environmental Protection Agency criteria, a typical user consumes 6,000 gallons (800 cubic feet) of water per month. In FY 2016, the cost of collection and sewage treatment for a typical user in the District was $32.90 per month, approximately $394 annually. Sanitary sewer service continues to be an affordable service with annual costs equivalent to or less than the cost of other essential services such as telephone, cable television, and garbage pickup. A recent survey conducted by the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) indicated the average annual charge paid for sewer service in calendar year 2011 was $390. The United States Environmental Protection Agency suggests that an affordable charge for sanitary sewer service is one percent (1%) of the median family income of the community. Based on the 2010 census data for the City of Wheaton, the median family income is $73,385, suggesting that the cost of sanitary sewer service would be affordable at a cost of $733 per year, or $61 per month. The District has an extensive capital improvements program including replacement of the Northside Interceptor Sewer, which will be phased over three to four years. Continued rehabilitation of the sanitary sewer collection system contributes to expenses. Plant improvements are generally driven by changing EPA regulations, and the District is monitoring potential regulations on biological nutrient removal (i.e. phosphorous), wet weather treatment, and ammonia levels. The District’s strategic financial plan incorporates the capital costs for these projects as well.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Wheaton Sanitary District (District) is governed by an elected Board of Trustees. The accounting policies of the District conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applicable to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. A summary of the significant accounting policies, consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements is described below. a. The Reporting Entity The District includes all operations that are controlled by or dependent upon the District as determined on a basis of financial accountability. Financial accountability includes appointment of the organization's governing body, imposition of will, and fiscal dependency. The accompanying financial statements include only operations of the District as there are no other organizations for which it has financial accountability. b. Basis of Presentation, Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting The District’s basic financial statements are presented on the full accrual basis of accounting and conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The term measurement focus is used to denote what is being measured and reported in the District’s operating statement. The District’s financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. The fundamental objective of this focus is to measure whether the District is better or worse off economically as a result of events and transactions of the period.

The term basis of accounting is used to determine when a transaction or event is recognized on the District’s operating statement. The District uses the full accrual basis of accounting. Under this basis, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when incurred, even though actual payment or receipt may not occur until after the period ends. c. Net Position Net position comprises the various net earnings from operating income, nonoperating revenues and expenses, and capital contributions. Net position is classified in the following three components:

Page 19: WHEATON SANITARY DISTRICT [Wheaton, Illinois] Audited ... · Position can be an indicator of whether its financial strength is improving or deteriorating. However, one needs to consider

WHEATON SANITARY DISTRICT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

APRIL 30, 2016 AND 2015

16

Net investment in capital assets – This component of net position 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 attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets. If there are significant unspent related debt proceeds at year-end, the portion of the debt attributable to the unspent proceeds is not included in the calculation of net investment in capital assets. Rather, that portion of the debt is included in the same net position component as the unspent proceeds.

Restricted – This component of net position consists of constraints placed on net

position use through external constraints imposed by creditors (such as through debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments or constraints imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

Unrestricted net position – This component of net position consists of net position

that does not meet the definition of “restricted” or “net investment in capital assets.”

When an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net position is available, the District’s policy is to apply restricted net position first. d. Cash and Investments Cash and investments are combined on the statement of net position. Cash deposits consist of demand and time deposits with financial institutions and are carried at cost. Investments are reported at fair value. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, all cash deposits and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when acquired are considered to be cash equivalents. e. Capital Assets Capital assets, which include land, buildings and improvements, sewers and extensions, and furniture and equipment, are reported in the financial statements. The District defines capital assets as assets with an original individual cost greater than $2,500 and with an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at their estimated fair value on the date of donation. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend the life of an asset are charged to operations as incurred.

Capital assets of the District are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Assets Years Buildings and building improvements 10-40 years Land improvements 10-20 years Furniture, machinery and equipment 3-20 years Sewers and extensions 50 years f. Long-term Obligations Long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the statement of net position. g. Compensated Absences Accumulated unpaid vacation amounts are accrued when benefits vest to employees and the unpaid liability is reflected as compensated absences payable. h. Deferred outflows/inflows of resources A deferred outflow of resources represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period and will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense) until that future time. A deferred inflow of resources represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period and therefore will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that future time. i. Revenue and Expenses Revenues and expenses are distinguished between operating and non-operating items. Operating revenues generally result from providing services in connection with the District’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the District are fees and capital revenue for wastewater treatment services. Operating expenses include the costs associated with the conveyance and treatment of wastewater, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting these definitions are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses. j. Operating Revenues District billings are rendered and recorded monthly based on calendar month metered flows.

k. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. NOTE 2. STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY Economic Interest Statements All board members and administrative personnel of the District who are required to file Economic Interest Statements have done so, as required by Chapter 20 of the Illinois Compiled Statutes. NOTE 3. CASH AND INVESTMENTS Custodial Credit Risk – Deposits Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the District’s deposits may not be returned to it. As of April 30, 2016, none of the District’s bank balances of $4,938,145 was exposed to custodial credit risk. Investments Interest Rate Risk: In the District’s formal investment policy, there are no specific limitations on investment maturities in order to manage exposure to fair market losses from increasing interest rates. Credit Risk: Under Illinois law, the District is restricted to investing funds in specific types of investment instruments. The following generally represents the types of instruments allowable by State laws.

Securities issued or guaranteed by the United States.

Interest-bearing accounts of banks and Savings and Loan Associations insured up to $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Short-term obligations (less than 180 days) of U.S. corporations with assets over $500,000,000 rated in the three highest classifications by at least two rating agencies. Insured accounts of an Illinois credit union chartered under United States or Illinois law. Money market mutual funds with portfolios of securities issued or guaranteed by the United States or agreements to repurchase these same types of obligations.

Repurchase agreements which meet instrument transaction requirements of Illinois law. The District’s investment policy further limits its investment choices to deposits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation with maturities not to exceed one year, interest bearing Certificates of Deposit, United States Treasury Bills with maturities not to exceed one year and investments in the Illinois Public Treasurers’ Investment Pool. Concentration of Credit Risk: The District places no limit on the amount the District may invest in any one issuer. None of the District’s investments are greater than 5% of the total of investments.

NOTE 5. RETIREMENT FUND COMMITMENTS Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund

Plan Description: The District’s defined benefit pension plan for regular employees provides retirement and disability benefits, post-retirement increases, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. The District’s plan is managed by the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF), the administrator of a multi-employer public pension fund. A summary of IMRF’s pension benefits is provided in the “Benefits Provided” section of this document. Details of all benefits are available from IMRF. Benefit provisions are established by statute and may only be changed by the General Assembly of the State of Illinois.

IMRF issues a publicly available Comprehensive Annual Financial Report that includes financial statements, detailed information about the pension plan’s fiduciary net position, and required supplementary information. The report is available for download at www.imrf.org. Benefits Provided: IMRF has three benefit plans. The vast majority of IMRF members participate in the Regular Plan (RP). The Sheriff’s Law Enforcement Personnel (SLEP) plan is for sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, and selected police chiefs. Counties could adopt the Elected County Official (ECO) plan for officials elected prior to August 8, 2011 (the ECO plan was closed to new participants after that date). All three IMRF benefit plans have two tiers. Employees hired before January 1, 2011, are eligible for Tier 1 benefits. Tier 1 employees are vested for pension benefits when they have at least eight years of qualifying service credit. Tier 1 employees who retire at age 55 (at reduced benefits) or after age 60 (at full benefits) with eight years of service are entitled to an annual retirement benefit, payable monthly for life, in an amount equal to 1-2/3% of the final rate of earnings for the first 15 years of service credit, plus 2% for each year of service credit after 15 years to a maximum of 75% of their final rate of earnings. Final rate of earnings is the highest total earnings during any consecutive 48 months within the last 10 years of service, divided by 48. Under Tier 1, the pension is increased by 3% of the original amount on January 1 every year after retirement. Employees hired on or after January 1, 2011, are eligible for Tier 2 benefits. For Tier 2 employees, pension benefits vest after ten years of service. Participating employees who retire at age 62 (at reduced benefits) or after age 67 (at full benefits) with ten years of service are entitled to an annual retirement benefit, payable monthly for life, in an amount equal to 1-2/3% of the final rate of earnings for the first 15 years of service credit, plus 2% for each year of service credit after 15 years to a maximum of 75% of their final rate of earnings. Final rate of earnings is the highest total earnings during any 96 consecutive months within the last 10 years of service, divided by 96. Under Tier 2, the pension is increased on January 1 every year after retirement, upon reaching age 67, by the lesser of:

• 3% of the original pension amount, or • 1/2 of the increase in the Consumer Price Index of the original pension amount.

Employees Covered by Benefit Terms: At December 31, 2015, the number of District employees covered by IMRF were: Active members 25 Retirees and beneficiaries 19 Inactive, non-retired members 10 Total 54

Contributions: As set by statute, the District’s regular plan members are required to contribute 4.5% of their annual covered salary. The statute requires the District to contribute the amount necessary, in addition to member contributions, to finance the retirement coverage of its own employees. The employer contribution rate for 2015 was 11.91% of annual covered payroll. The District also contributes for disability benefits, death benefits and supplemental retirement benefits, all of which are pooled at the IMRF level. Contribution rates for disability and death benefits are set by the IMRF Board of Trustees, while the supplemental retirement benefits rate is set by statute. Required contributions were $175,605 and actual contributions were $175,606, or 100.00% of required contributions. Net Pension Liability: The District’s net pension liability was measured as of December 31, 2015. The total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. Actuarial Assumptions: The following are the methods and assumptions used to determine the Total Pension Liability at December 31, 2015:

Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Normal Asset Valuation Method Market Value of Assets Inflation 2.75% Salary Increases 3.75% to 14.50% including inflation Investment Rate of Return 7.49% Projected Retirement Age Experience-based Table of Rates that are specific to the type of

eligibility condition, last updated for the 2014 valuation pursuant to an experience study of the period 2011-2013.

Mortality For non-disabled retirees, an IMRF specific mortality table was used with fully generational projection scale MP-2014 (base year 2014). The IMRF specific rates were developed from the RP-2014 Blue Collar Health Annuitant Mortality Table with adjustments to match current IMRF experience.

Disabled Retirees For disabled retirees, an IMRF specific mortality table was used with fully generational projection scale MP-2014 (base year 2014). The IMRF specific rates were developed from the RP-2014 Disabled Retirees Mortality Table applying the same adjustment that were applied for non-disabled lives.

Active Members For active members, an IMRF specific mortality table was used with fully generational projection scale MP-2014 (base year 2014). The IMRF specific rates were developed from the RP-2014 Employee Mortality Table with adjustments to match current IMRF experience.

Other Information: There were no benefit changes during the year.

The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense, and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return to the target asset allocation percentage and adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of geometric real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:

Asset Class

Approximate Asset

Allocation

Long-Term Expected Real Rate of Return

Domestic equity 38.0% 7.4% International equity 17.0 7.6

Fixed income 27.0 3.0 Real estate 8.0 6.0

Alternative investments 9.0 2.75-8.15 Cash equivalents 1.0 2.25

Single Discount Rate: A Single Discount Rate of 7.50% was used to measure the total pension liability. The projection of cash flow used to determine this Single Discount Rate assumed that the plan members’ contributions will be made at the current contribution rate, and that employer contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. The Single Discount Rate reflects: (1) the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments (during the period in which the fiduciary net position is projected to be sufficient to pay benefits), and (2) the tax-exempt municipal bond rate based on an index of 20-year general obligation bonds with an average AA credit rating (which is published by the Federal Reserve) as of the measurement date (to the extent that the contributions for use with the long-term expected rate of return are not met). For the purpose of the most recent valuation, the expected rate of return on pension plan investments is 7.50%; the municipal bond rate is 3.57%; and the resulting single discount rate is 7.49%.
