INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Rexburg, Idaho
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 City of Rexburg, Idaho, 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.
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 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.
2
Basis for Qualified Opinion
Management has not included negative fund balances as unassigned fund balances in the City’s
financial statements as outlined in footnote 19. Accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America require all negative fund balances be classified as unassigned funds in
the governmental funds statements. The City’s management feels that it is more consistent and
useful to show the negative fund balances in the appropriate fund type.
Opinions
In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter described in the “Basis for Qualified Opinion”
paragraph, 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 Rexburg, Idaho, 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.
Emphasis of Matter – Change in Fund Classification
As described in Note 1 and 22 to the financial statements, starting in 2017 the City is reporting the
golf course fund with the governmental funds rather than in the business type funds.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
management’s discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison information and information and
schedule of pension liabilities and contributions which are 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 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 of Rexburg, Idaho’s basic financial statements. The combining and
individual nonmajor fund financial schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and
are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The schedule of expenditures of federal
awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards, and is also not a required part of the basic financial statements.
3
The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial schedules and the schedule of expenditures
of federal awards are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to
the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such
information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic
financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional
procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements, the
schedules of loans payable and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards are fairly stated in
all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March
2, 2018, on our consideration of the City of Rexburg, Idaho’s internal control over financial
reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts,
and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our
testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing,
and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That
report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards
in considering the City of Rexburg, Idaho’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Matthew K. Nielson, Chief Financial Officer
Our discussion and analysis of the City of Rexburg’s financial performance provides an overview of
the City’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017. Please read this in
conjunction with the City’s financial statements, which begin on page 22.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The assets and deferred outflows of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows at
September 30, 2017 by $105,571,063.
Of this amount, ($2,859,940) of unrestricted net position and $24,671,648 of restricted
assets is available to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
The City’s net position increased $6,066,585 as a result of this year’s operations, which
includes an increase of governmental type net position by $4,375,633 and of business-type
net position by $1,690,952.
At fiscal year end, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances
of $13,189,154, an increase of $2,390,775 from last year.
The General Fund Balance was $4,489,233 or 42.38% of the total General Fund
Expenditures and Fund Transfers. This leaves about a 5 month reserve in place. This is a
10.42% increase over the prior year. Of this balance, $347,000 was appropriated in the
budget of the following fiscal year.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Government-wide Financial Statements are presented in a format designed to provide a
broad overview in a business-like manner. These statements include all assets and liabilities using
full accrual accounting, which is similar to accounting used by most large businesses. Full accrual
accounting reports all of the current year’s revenues and expenses when they are obligated,
regardless of whether or not cash has yet been received or paid out. You will also need to
consider non-financial factors, such as changes in the City’s property tax base and the condition of
its streets, to assess its overall health.
These statements distinguish functions that are principally supported by taxes and inter-
governmental revenues (governmental activities) from functions that are supported by user fees
(business-type activities). Governmental activities include: general administration, public safety,
streets, parks, recreation, arts, and community development. The business-type activities include:
water, wastewater (sewer), and sanitation (garbage). The golf courses were reclassified in 2017 to
a governmental activity, rather than a business-type activity.
The government-wide financial statements also include separately the financial information of the
Rexburg Redevelopment Agency as a component unit.
5
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City’s assets, liabilities, and
deferred inflows/outflows of the City. The difference between them is called the Net Position. Over
time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial
position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities defines the change in Net Position by reporting expenses of the
different functions of the City and related revenues. Here expenses are listed before revenues in
order to emphasize that in City government, revenues are generated to support the different
functions and are not the driving force, service needs or functions are. The City is not here to
make a profit, unlike business; it first identifies the service needs of its citizens and then raises the
resources to meet those needs.
Fund Financial Statements are used to maintain control over resources that have been
segregated for specific activities, objectives or as may be required by law or grant or bond
agreements. Major funds are shown in separate columns and include the General Fund, Street s,
Emergency Services, Water, Wastewater, and Sanitation; all other funds are non-major funds and
are summarized in one column. Details of the non-major funds are shown under Other
Supplementary Information on pages 75-84 of this report. All of the funds of the City are also
divided into two categories, governmental or enterprise (business -type).
Governmental Funds Financial Statements focus more on current inflows, outflows and
balances (reporting more on a cash/partial accrual accounting basis instead of a full accrual basis)
rather than on long term effects on net position, such as depreciation might have, which is included
in the Government-wide Statements. The City maintains 74 active funds, 66 are governmental
funds and 8 are categorized as Enterprise Funds, which are the Utility funds.
Enterprise Funds Financial Statements are used to report the business-type activities
(supported by user fees) of the City that include the Utility Funds. These funds are reported on a
full accrual basis, which is the same as the business-type accounting used in the Government-wide
Financial Statements for all funds, but include more detail here.

Because the City has not been required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB) to list streets and storm sewers acquired before October 1, 2003, those items are not
included in the Beginning Net Asset amounts under Governmental Activities. All acquisitions of
streets and storm sewers on or after that date will be included. The City may decide in the future to
estimate the historical cost of those previously acquired streets and storm sewers and adjust the
beginning balances at that time.
8
A summary of long-term transactions of the City for the year ended September 30, 2017, is as
follows:
There are currently no outstanding General Obligation Bonds.
Governmental Activities
The format of the Statement of Activities lists the expenses first and then the revenues with a
resulting Net Expense. The reason for this kind of format is to highlight the relative financial
burden or subsidy of each of the functions on the general revenues of the City, including property
tax, after that function’s specific revenues are subtracted.
9
The City strives to maintain a total general fund committed fund balance equal to a minimum of
25%, or greater, of general fund budgeted expenditures for the last ended fiscal year for the
necessary cash flow, for unforeseen emergencies, and to mitigate current and future risks.
General and Administrative
(Mayor & City Council, Economic Development, Customer Services, Information Systems,
Financial Management, Human Resources, Building Maintenance, Legal, Planning and Zoning,
Engineering, GIS, Building Safety, Shop, and miscellaneous other departments).
A majority of these departments’ expenditures is offset by related r evenues.
Public Safety
(Police and Emergency Services)
It is important to note that the Police and Fire functions create the most financial burden on the
general revenues, but, customarily, that is what property tax is for. In an effort to provide the most
efficient and effective funding of fire and ambulance services in Madison County, the City of
Rexburg, the Madison County Ambulance District, and the Madison County Fire Protection District
have formed a joint venture doing business as the Madison Fire Department. Madison County
reimburses the City for Ambulance expenses and its portion of shared expenses. Madison County
Fire Protection District also reimburses the City for its portion of shared expenses.
Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts
The Parks Department is mostly funded by General Revenues. Only about $8,100 was taken in as
parks reservation fees in 2017.
The Recreation Administrative expenses are heavily subsidized by General Revenues, while the
Recreation Programs are intended to be self-sufficient. In 2017, a transfer of over $56,105 from
the general fund was made to subsidize 2017 losses in the recreation program fund. $41,845 of
this transfer covered the building lease and operating deficit for “The Zone Rexburg Recreation
Center.” We would anticipate that the Zone will continue to need to be subsidized each year.
In 2017 the operating fund of the water park Rexburg Rapids experienced an operating loss of
approximately $59,000, their largest operating loss in a single year. The City Council also
transferred $65,000 from the general fund that will be kept in reserve for future major capital
projects or repairs at the water park. When Rexburg Rapids was opened in 2011, a $99,000
reserve was put in place to cover operating losses. In 2017 the $99,000 reserve was exhausted.
The seven year operating loss, including the $99,000, reached an amount of $126,824, which
means Rexburg Rapids has been ran with an average operating loss of $18,117 per year in its first
seven seasons.
Cultural Arts includes the Tabernacle Civic Center and Museum of Rexburg (formerly Teton Flood
Museum), the Legacy Flight Museum, the Romance Theater, the Rexburg Orchestra, and the
Rexburg Cultural Arts fund. The Cultural Arts Funds are also heavily subsidized by general
revenues and taxes. The Cultural Arts Funds were subsidized approximately $271,313 in 2017.
Streets
The Street Department is funded by State Highway User Fees, County Road & Bridge Property
Taxes, and other charges and is not subsidized by General Revenues, except for 77.7% of the
Rocky Mountain Power franchise fees that have been allocated to that fund.
10
11
Business-type Activities
Utility Funds
The Utility Departments include the Sanitation, Water, and Waste Water departments. The City
maintains separate Capital Reserve Funds for Water and Wastewater that are funded through
capacity fees and used for large construction projects to expand capacity. In 2010 the City started
a project to expand the Wastewater Treatment plant and wastewater lines to increase capacity and
to also address some other maintenance concerns at the existing plant , which work should
conclude in the spring of 2018. In order to pay for the construction maintenance upgrades and
expansion of the plant, the city secured a revenue bond of 10 million dollars on December 8, 2010,
which will be paid back with capital reserve funds and increases in utility fees.
The utility funds, which include utility operations, water capital reserve, sewer capital reserve, water
capital construction, sewer/water line extension, and the sewer plant construction funds, decreased
in cash and short term investments by $1,291,750, ending the year with a balance of $11,766,216.
12
The City of Rexburg provides wastewater treatment services to the City of Sugar City and the City
of Teton at a per gallon charge that includes operating costs. Both cities have provided their share
of capital up front through the payment of capitalization fees that reserve certain amounts of
capacity for their usage. Those two cities together provide 5.95% of the total monthly billed
revenue for the wastewater department.
Sewer rates were last increased on October 1, 2017. Water rates were last increased on October
1, 2017. Sanitation rates were last increased on October 1, 2017. Water and sewer capacity fees
were last increased in March 2017.
We received the final findings of the water facilities planning study at the end of 2015 and began
construction in 2016. The projected improvements will require additional funding beyond that
available in our capital and operating reserve funds. The water upgrades will be funded with a
combination of reserves and a loan from the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) of up to
$11,100,000, which includes principal forgiveness of up to $2,211,300. The water project will
provide needed production, storage, and delivery capacity to meet the current water demands and
future water demands as our population grows. The city also substantially completed a final phase
of improvements in 2017 at the wastewater treatment plant to eliminate odors, add new capacity,
and help with the disposal of bio-solids.
In 2012 the City began to provide curb-side pickup for recycling to single family residents at no
additional cost to the customer. In 2015 the majority of single family residents were receiving the
recycling option. The Recycling Program is a joint effort with Brigham Young University Idaho and
a third party vendor. In 2014, 2015, and 2016 it became necessary to increase the recycling
contract expenses in order to maintain the program at its current service level . There was no
increase in recycling costs in 2017, but our third party vendor has indicated a substantial increase
in fees will be necessary in 2018 because they are no longer able to sell all recyclables and have
been forced to pay tipping fees for some items, which costs will now be passed on to the city . The
city is not currently seeking to add the recycling option to commercial and multi -family users
because the costs have increased and the value of the recycled products has dropped. When we
recycle goods, it reduces the Madison County tipping fees expense we would otherwise pay for
disposing goods.
FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS
As noted earlier, the City of Rexburg uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance
with legal, grant and budget requirements.
Governmental Funds
The focus of the City of Rexburg Governmental Funds is to provide information on current year
cash flows and balances. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s current year financing
requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balances that are not held for emergencies or cash
flow purposes, may serve as a useful measure of the City’s net resources available for spending at
the end of the fiscal year that could be added to expected revenues for the following fiscal year.
The General Fund Balance (see page 68) increased by $423,487 during the year, due to actual
expenses lower than the final expenses budgeted.
The Street Funds’ Balances (see page 69) increased by $1,459,313, leaving a fund balance of
$3,214,242. The fund balance will be carried over for projects that are already planned and
budgeted for in future years. A significant portion of the fund balance is from receivables due from
13
the Urban Renewal Agency for a project that was substantially completed in fiscal year 2014 on the
corner of 2nd West and 1st North and another project substantially completed from 2015 to 2016 on
2nd east near the new W almart. We anticipate the full payoff of these receivables within two years.
The Emergency Services Fund (see page 70) is financed by three entities: the City of Rexburg (for
fire suppression services), the Madison County Fire Protection District, and the Madison County
Ambulance District. All expenditures are billed to the three entities based on the benefit received
by each. The fund balance is normally always zero because the three entities reimburse all
expenditures. The Emergency Services Fund ended the fiscal year $137,000 over budget.
Police, Fire, Parks and Street Development Impact Fees were collected in the amounts of $82,622,
$70,433, $425,635, and $475,671 respectively, totaling $1,054,371 for capital improvements in
those departments. It is important to illustrate the need for impact fees by looking at the fund
balances of each respective fund to determine the health of those funds in providing the necessary
capital to meet the demands of the growth in our community and its impact on our c urrent service
levels. At the end of the fiscal year 2017, the Police Impact Fee Fund was at a deficit of ($37,200)
due to the purchase of the old street shop to be used as a storage/training facility. The Fire Impact
Fee Fund had a balance of $55,845, which will help fund the future replacement of fire engines and
expansion or addition of fire stations. The Parks Impact Fee Fund balance was $1,032,900 and is
being accumulated for future projects, such as the addition of a baseball/softball quad at
Community Fields and a possible future park location, which we hope to identify in the next few
years with a park study being performed in 2018. The Street Impact Fees Fund balance is
normally zeroed out as the expenses of qualified projects typically surpass the revenues provided
from the Street Impact fees, however at this time, there is a current available balance that can be
used for qualified street projects of $534,128.
The Joint Fire Equipment Fund has a positive fund balance of $367,770, which comes from
contributions by the City and the Madison County Fire Protection District . These funds are for
future purchases of fire equipment.
The GIS (Geographic Information System) Fund was first created in 2004 to track the funding of
the joint City/County GIS Department on a 50/50 financing split.
As mentioned earlier, the Golf Fund was reclassified to a governmental type fund from a business-
type fund, and is not considered a major fund. Reports for the golf funds can be found in the
combining statements. The golf courses, Teton Lakes of 27 holes and the Municipal Course
(renamed in 2016 the “Legacy Golf Course”) of 9 holes, are jointly owned and managed by the City
of Rexburg and Madison County. Their governing boards appoint a Golf Board consisting of 6
citizens and a member of each of the governing boards to act as a liaison to the Board. At the end
of the fiscal year, together, the Golf Fund and Golf Construction Fund had a cash deficit of
$616,746 (an increase of $3,806 over the prior fiscal year), which was covered by a loan from the
City, half of which is guaranteed by the County. There was no transfer to the Golf Course
Construction Fund at the end of the fiscal year from the Golf Operations Fund to pay down the
cash deficit. The City and County did reduce the deficit $15,000 each (total of $30,000) with
transfers from their general funds, which we plan to continue to do in the near future. The City and
County are currently in the process of renegotiating the golf contract with the Golf Manager a nd
expect to make some financial changes that will allow the golf course to operate in the black and
help us address some necessary capital needs in the near future.
14
Proprietary Funds
The City of Rexburg proprietary funds provide the same type of inform ation found in the
government-wide statements, but in more detail.
At the beginning of Fiscal Year 2015 it was decided to segregate t he Sanitation, Water and
Wastewater Departments from the Utility Operations Fund (Fund 25). Fund 25 is the Sanitation
Fund, Fund 26 the Water Operations Fund, and Fund 27 the Wastewater Operations Fund. These
operating funds ended the year with net income of $3,918,803, of which $0 was due to contributed
assets from developers.
The Utility Operations Funds increased in cash by $31,154 ending the year with a balance of
$9,504,747 in cash and investments. The Sanitation Fund ended with a balance of $709,421. The
Water Operation Fund ended with a balance of $5,977,937. The Wastewater Operations Fund
ended with a balance of $2,817,389, which was a decrease of $1,216,479 from the prior year . The
City expects to use a significant portion of the water operating reserves for construction projects in
2018 and 2019.

EMERGENCY SERVICES DEPARTMENT FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
The City of Rexburg, through an agreement with Madison County Fire Protection District and the
Madison Ambulance District, is responsible for the administration and accounting of the Emergency
Services Department (ESD) operations. A governing board made up of one elected official from
each entity plus a doctor, sets policies as needed for the department.
ESD Fund Revenues are almost all provided by the sharing of costs by three entities: the City of
Rexburg and the Madison Fire Protection District through an Operating Transfer in, and the
Madison Ambulance District through warrants paid to the City. Costs are reimbursed based on
benefits received by the three entities. The ESD Department utilized ambulance and fire
equipment on site at various wild land fires throughout the state and nation. For their work, the
respective entity that supplied equipment received reimbursement revenues that helped reduce the
shared costs needed by the three entities that fund the ESD operations. They also sent out
personnel to help in the wild land fire efforts and received reimbursement revenues to cover the
wages and benefits paid to the employees.
The Madison Ambulance District paid approximately 49% of the costs during the past fiscal year.
The City and the Madison Fire District each paid about 32% and 19% respectively.
ESD Operating Fund Revenues and Expenses were both approximately $137,606 over budget –
both because this fund is usually zeroed out at the end of the year and any savings or overruns are
shared by the three entities immediately. The City’s share of the net expenses was $866,013 of an
$825,000 budget, or $41,013 over budget.
REXBURG URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY
Separately issued financial statements for the Rexburg Urban Renewal Agency, a component unit
of the City of Rexburg is available at the City offices.

The Total Expense Budget pie chart shows the relative size of the departments or categories of
expense budgets. Each Total Expense category includes both opera ting expense and capital
purchase expense. Operating Expense does not include capital expense and is the amount
needed to fund the day to day operations of the City. Capital Expense is usually defined as an
expense if the benefit or item purchased is expected to last two or more years.
Construction is generally the largest piece of the pie each year and is capital in nature, but varies
widely from year to year in amount, due to the available funding and the particular needs of that
year. Fund Transfers are made between different funds to pay for charges for services given or to
fund the deficit position of particular funds with a transfer from the General Fund.
The total expenses in 2017 increased by approximately $7.2 million dollars compared to 2016.
This was due in part to construction upgrades in the water and sewer departments and an increase
in emergency services due to the purchase of fire capital, wildland deployments, and an increase in
personnel costs that was offset in large part by a contribution from BYU Idaho. Because of these
construction projects, the transfers also increased significantly as we transferred monies from the
capital and operating reserves to the construction funds to cover the construction expenses.
18
The Total Revenue Budget pie chart shows the relative size of the categories of revenue budget by
source. Total Revenue categories include both operating revenue and revenue that is restricted to
capital purchases. Operating Revenue does not include revenue reserved f or capital purchases
and is the amount needed to fund the day to day operations of the City. Capital Revenue is usually
defined as: revenue reserved to be used on purchases that are expected to last two or more years.
Fund Transfers and Interfund Charges are made between different funds to pay for charges for
services given or to fund the deficit position of particular fund s with a transfer from the General
Fund. LID Assessments are revenues charged against particular benefited properties for
improvements made by the City through a Local Improvement District (LID). State Taxes include
Sales Tax and Liquor Tax Revenues that are distributed to the City by the State of Idaho. It is
relevant to point out that Property Tax, however important it is to the f inancial well being of the City,
is a relatively small part of the Total Revenue Budget. Road & Bridge Tax is property taxes levied
by the County for their Road & Bridge Fund that are turned over by state law to the City. The
amount of tax transferred is equal to half of the Road & Bridge Tax collected on properties within
the City limits.
The total revenues in 2017 increased by almost $7.7 million dollars compared to 2016. This was
due in large part to construction upgrades in the water and sewer depar tments. Because of these
construction projects, the transfers and contributed capital categories increased significantly as we
transferred monies from the capital and operating reserves to the construction funds to cover the
construction expenses. Federal grants received also increased by more than a million dollars in
large part due to the DEQ loan grant forgiveness for the water project. We had a notable increase
in building fees and impact fees in 2017 due to growth.
19
The Operating Expense Budget pie chart shows the relative size of the departments or categories
of operating expense budgets. Operating Expense does not include capital expense funds and is
the amount needed to fund the day to day operations of the City.
Public Safety expense, which includes the Police, Fire, and Ambulance Departments, comprises
about 32% of the operating expenses. The Utility Funds, which include the Wastewater,
Sanitation, and Water Departments, are about 33% of the operating expenses of the budget,
leaving about a 35% for the rest of the departments or categories.
The operating expenses increased by approximately $1.25 million as compared to 2016, with the
largest increases coming in the Emergency Services Department from due to the purchase of fire
capital, wildland deployments, and an increase in personnel costs that was offset in large part by a
contribution from BYU Idaho. The miscellaneous category almost doubled because this was the
first full year of expenses for the two new departments of Building Main tenance and Human
Resources.
20
The Operating Revenue Budget pie chart shows the relative size of the categories of operating
revenue budgets. Operating Revenue does not include moneys meant for capital expense and is
the amount provided to fund the day to day operations of the City.
Utility Charges, which include the Wastewater, Sanitation, and Water user fees, are about 32% of
the total. Property Tax, State Taxes, Franchise Fees and Interfund charges for services (Overhead
Transfers) are general purpose revenues and can be used at the City Council’s discretion. Many of
the other categories specified are each for a special purpose and must be spent according to state
law or agreements signed.
The operating revenues increased by approximately $ 608,196 as compared to 2016, with the
largest increases occurring in the operating contributions, federal grants, and property tax
categories.

Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However,
in the statement of activities, assets with an initial, individual cost of
more than $5,000 are capitalized and the cost is allocated over their
estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is
the amount by which capital outlays are reduced by depreciation in the

CITY OF REXBURG, IDAHO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2017
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City of Rexburg, Idaho (the City) was incorporated in 1883 under the provisions
of the State of Idaho. The City operates under a Council-Mayor form of government
and provides the following services as authorized by its charter: public safety (police
and fire), streets, sanitation, culture-recreation, public improvements, planning and
zoning, general administrative, utilities, and airport operations. The accompanying
financial statements present the government and its component units, entities for
which the government is considered to be financially accountable.
The financial statements of the City of Rexburg, Idaho have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAP) as applied to local government units. The Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for
establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The more
significant accounting policies of the City are described below.
Basic Financial Statements
Basic financial statements are presented at both the government-wide and fund
financial level. Both levels of statements categorize primary activities as either
governmental or business-type. Governmental activities, which are normally
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.
Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the
statement of changes in net position) report information on all of the non-fiduciary
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 are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are
those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function. 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.
32
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and fiduciary
funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial
statements. Major individual governmental funds are reported as separate columns
in the fund financial statements.
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic
resources, measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the
proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and
expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related
cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they
are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all
eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial
resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting.
Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available.
Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current
period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this
purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60
days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded
when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service
expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences, early
retirement, arbitrage rebates, and post employment healthcare benefits, are
recorded only when payment is due.
Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses and interest associated with the current
fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and have been
recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special
assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be
accrued as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to
be measurable and available only when the City receives cash.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It is used for all financial
resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for
in another fund.
The Street Fund accounts for the resources accumulated and payments made
for street and bridge maintenance, street lighting, traffic engineering, snow
removal, street sweeping and storm sewer maintenance. Street Fund resources
are restricted by law to be used only to benefit city streets.
The Emergency Services Fund accounts for the operations of the fire and
ambulance service in and surrounding the City.
33
The City reports the following major enterprise funds:
The Utility Funds are the funds that account for the activities provided to the
residents of the City for its utilities. These utilities include water, wastewater and
sanitation. In 2015 these operating services were split to their own respective
funds and in 2016 we began to report them in their respective funds on the
financial statements. During 2017 the City began reporting the golf course fund
as a governmental fund and it became a nonmajor fund in the governmental
funds.
Component Unit
Component units are organizations which are legally separated from the City, which
are financially accountable to the City, or their relationship with the City are such that
exclusion would cause the City’s financial statements to be misleading or
incomplete. Discretely presented component units are reported in a separate
column to emphasize that they are legally separate from the primary government
and are governed by separate boards. The City has one discretely presented
component unit. A brief description of the discretely presented component unit
follows:
Rexburg Urban Renewal Agency – was organized to make improvements to
infrastructure in specific areas of the City. It derives its revenues from the
incremental tax increases that all taxing districts forfeit from increase in value of
the land and buildings in the new construction areas.
Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to
December 1, 1989, generally are followed in both government-wide and proprietary
fund financial statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or
contradict guidance of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
Governments also have the option of following subsequent private-sector guidance
for their business-type activities, subject to this same limitation. The City has
elected not to follow subsequent private-sector guidance.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the
government’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as
they are needed. The City considers restricted amounts to have been spent first
when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which multiple classifications may
be included in a fund balance. For example, restricted amounts are used first,
followed by committed, assigned, and unassigned amounts in that order, for
purposes of reporting fund balance.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the
government-wide financial statements.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or
applicants for goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and
contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments.
34
Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as
program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating
items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services
and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal
on-going operations. The principle operating revenues of water, wastewater, and
sanitation services enterprise funds are charges to customers and users for sales
and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of sales and
services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenue
and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues
and expenses.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment used in governmental fund type operations (those
items which relate to the general activities and services of the City) are accounted
for in the government-wide financial statements. The City defines capital assets as
assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 (see Resolution 2012-02),
with an estimated useful life in excess of two years. Property, plant and equipment
used in proprietary fund type operations (i.e., the Utility and the Golf Course Funds)
are accounted for within the proprietary funds and on the government-wide financial
statements. Depreciation is provided on property, plant and equipment using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets:
Server/Software…………………………………………………. 6 years
Office Equipment ................................................................. 10 years
Furniture .............................................................................. 20 years
Vehicles ................................................................................. 7 years
Light Equipment ................................................................... 10 years
Heavy Equipment ................................................................ 20 years
Buildings .............................................................................. 40 years
Water and Wastewater Systems ................................... 20-100 years
Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a
separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial
statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net
position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow
of resources (expense/expenditure) until then.
The City has only one type of deferred outflows of resources. This amount relates to
the City’s allocable share of the effect of changes during the year on the valuation of
the net pension liability. This amount is reported only in the business-type funds and
in the government-wide financial statements.
35
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a
separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement
element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that
applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources
(revenue) until that time.
The City has three types of items in this area. One item, which arises only under a
modified accrual basis of accounting, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the
governmental funds balance sheet and represents unavailable revenues from
property taxes and grant revenues received in advance. These amounts are
deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts
become available. The government also has a deferred premium on refunding
resulting from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its
reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the life of the
refunding. The third type of deferred inflows of resources relates to the effect of
changes during the year in the calculation of the net pension liability.
Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and pension expense (revenue),
information about the fiduciary net position of the Public Employee Retirement
System of Idaho Base Plan (Base Plan) and the Firefighters’ Retirement Fund Plan
(FRF) and additions to/deductions from Base Plan’s and FRF’s fiduciary net position
have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the Base Plan and
FRF. 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.
Budgetary Policy
The City prepares one combined budget which includes the operations of all funds.
The combined statement of revenues and expenditures budget and actual--all
budgetary funds presents comparisons of legally adopted budgets with actual data
on a budgetary basis. Under Idaho Code, the City's budget establishes maximum
legal authorization for expenditures during the fiscal year. Expenditures are not to
exceed the budgeted amounts, except as allowed by the Code for certain events.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 the City amended the budget for
several of the funds.
Encumbrances
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts, and other
commitments for the expenditures of monies are recorded in order to reserve that
portion of the applicable appropriation, is not employed by the City because it is not
considered necessary to assure effective budgetary control or to facilitate effective
cash planning and control.
36
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventory for all funds consists of
expendable supplies held for consumption and is recorded when consumed
(consumption method).
Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows for the proprietary funds, the City
considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. Funds invested with the State Treasurer's
Pool are classified as investments on the combined balance sheet and are
considered to be cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles 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.
Subsequent Events
In preparing these financial statements, the management of the City has evaluated
events and transactions for potential recognition and disclosure through March 2,
2018, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
2. CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
The City is authorized under Idaho Code to invest in cash, certificates of deposit,
U.S. Government securities, commercial paper and repurchase agreements. All
investments must be held by or registered in the name of the City.
Cash balances of most of the City’s funds are pooled and invested. Interest earned
from investments purchased with pooled cash is allocated to each of the funds
based on the fund's cash balance. The City maintains two primary checking
accounts and other miscellaneous accounts with local banks where a minimum
balance is maintained. All excess funds are then invested with the State Treasurer’s
Local Government Investment Pool, the State’s Diversified Fund or accounts
managed through contracts with private investment advisors (Managed Accounts).
These accounts invest in time certificates of deposit, local government tax
anticipation notes, federal loans, U.S. treasury notes and other U.S. governmental
securities. Information regarding insurance or collateralization of amounts invested
in the pooled accounts is not available.
37
The City has adopted the provisions of GASB Statement No. 40, Deposit and
Investment Risk Disclosures. This statement establishes and modifies disclosure
requirements related to investment and deposit risk; accordingly, the note
disclosures on cash and investments are in conformity with the provisions of GASB
Statement No. 40.
Deposits – At September 30, 2017, the carrying amount of the City’s bank
deposits including Certificates of Deposits (CDs) was $2,941,717, of which
$2,128,185 were insured with the FDIC and $703,101 was collateralized
through Zions Bank.
Custodial Credit Risk, Deposits – Custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the
event of a bank failure, the government’s deposits may not be returned. As of
September 30, 2017, $110,431 of the City’s total deposits in Zions Bank was
not covered by federal depository insurance, and thus was exposed to
custodial credit risk.
Investments – As of September 30, 2017, the City had the following
investments:
Custodial Credit Risk, Investments – For an investment, custodial credit risk is
the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the City will not be
able to recover the value of the investments. The State diversifies these
funds to reduce this risk.
Interest Rate Risk – As a means of limiting its exposure to fair value losses
arising from changes in interest rates, the City structures its portfolio so that
securities mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing operations. The
Weighted Average Maturity (WAM) is stated above.
The CDARS program is through a local bank and invests the funds in less
38
than $250,000 increments in different banks to keep below the FDIC
insurance amounts for coverage. The Collateralized Municipal MM Fund is
also through a local bank that invests in money market accounts that the bank
collateralizes with underlying investments.
The following is a reconciliation of the City’s deposit and investment balance
as of September 30, 2017:
Fair Value Measurements
The City has implemented GASB No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and
Application. This guidance requires government entities to measure investments
and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to enhance comparability of
financial statements among governments by requiring measurement of certain
assets and liabilities at fair value using a consistent and more detailed definition
of fair value and accepted valuation techniques. This guidance clarifies that fair
value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants. Under this guidance, fair value measurements are not adjusted for
transaction costs. This guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes
the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy
gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to
unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
GASB No. 72 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether
the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market
participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent
sources (observable inputs). The following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and
liabilities in an active market.
Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than the quoted process in active markets that are
observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 Inputs – Inputs based on prices or valuation techniques that are both
unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurements.
GASB No. 72 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in
making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall
39
within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value
measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant
to the fair value measurements. Valuation techniques used need to maximize
the use of observable inputs.
All assets have been valued using a market approach. There were no changes
in the valuation techniques during the year. There are no assets or liabilities
measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
State pooled funds are classified as Level 2 investments and are valued by the
underlying assets in those funds which are valued at quoted market prices as the
State of Idaho has determined.
Land is categorized at a Level 3 which was determined by recent purchase price
and appraisal. There were no changes in the valuation techniques during the
year, except that the Managed Accounts were changed from book value to
market value (Level 1). There are no assets or liabilities measured at fair value
on a nonrecurring basis.

4. REVOLVING LOANS RECEIVABLE
The City received a grant from the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development, the proceeds of which have been designated to be used as a
revolving loan fund for small businesses within the community. Repayments on the
initial loan have been used to finance other projects at the discretion of the City.
The East Central Idaho Development Company (ECIDC) is currently administering
these funds for the City. The balances of outstanding loans at September 30, 2017
are as follows:

The Development Company is holding $221,593 in an interest bearing account for
the City, which is available for future revolving loan projects.
5. PROPERTY TAXES
Property taxes of the City are based on the assessments against property owners as
of the first Monday in January of the calendar year in which the fiscal year
commences. Tax levies on such assessed values are certified to the County prior to
the commencement of the fiscal year.
Taxes are collected by Madison County and remitted to the City primarily in January
and July of the fiscal year. Accordingly, the tax revenues for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2017, are based on the assessed values and tax revenues
established in 2016.
The City defers recognition of property taxes assessed but not collected by fiscal
year-end. Such amounts will be recognized as revenues in the fiscal year they
become available.
43
6. ACCRUED COMPENSATED ABSENCES/ POST EMPLOYMENT HEALTH PLAN
(PEHP)
The City has elected to show its unused sick leave benefits as compensated
absences. In 1990, the City established individual sick leave banks whereby an
employee’s unused days over the 60 day maximum at the end of the calendar year
were deposited in the sick leave bank, after the first 2 days were converted to
vacation. From 2001 and thereafter, the employees no longer accumulate sick days
at the end of the year in the sick bank, which will eventually phase out as those with
remaining balances become eligible for full retirement.
The current policy states that all additional, unused, accumulated sick leave above
480 hours for each employee (above 672 hours for ESD27 department employees),
after the first 2 days were converted to vacation, will be converted to cash at a rate
of 35% of the employee’s current hourly rate and deposited in the City’s designated
Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA), and/or Voluntary Employee Benefit
Association (VEBA) and/or Post Employment Health Plan (PEHP) in that employee’s
name in the custody of a third party administrator so there is no outstanding
unfunded liability. Upon retirement, the City will add to the employee’s PEHP/
VEBA/HRA account 35% of their unused Sick Leave of the first 480 hours (672
hours for ESD27 department employees) plus 35% of any Sick Leave Bank balance.
The balance in the employee’s PEHP/VEBA/HRA account is subject to a 20 year
eligibility proration. The percentage of their account that is made available to them at
qualified retirement shall be calculated by adding five percent (5%) for each full year
of employment of the individual employee up to a maximum of one hundred percent
or twenty years (100% = 20 years times 5% each). Employees will be eligible for this
benefit after 5 years of continuous City employment and upon eligible retirement as
described below.
To promote longevity, this benefit is available only to employees who obtain one of
the following requirements:
1) They receive full monthly retirement benefits as defined and controlled by the
State of Idaho Retirement System (PERSI) meeting the Rule of 80 or 90 as
applicable, or a combination thereof depending on applicability and as determined
by PERSI.
2) They meet the age requirements of a PERSI Service Retirement.
3) The employee is terminated without cause.
The Sick Leave Bank is not a savings account, nor is it maintained with any specific
funding. Therefore, no interest is earned, nor may any be claimed or drawn upon it.
If the employee does not obtain one of the three requirements identified above, the
unearned balance of their accounts will be remitted back to the City.
44
7. HEALTH REIMBURSEMENT ARRANGEMENT (HRA)
The City will contribute a designated amount per deductible, into an HRA account
administered by a third party provider of the City for each eligible employee annually
in order to offset the employee’s share of costs related to a high deductible health
insurance plan. The HRA designated contribution amount is available each year if
the employee and their spouse (if applicable) have completed a wellness exam form
in the prior calendar year. This amount is available to the employees at the start of
each calendar year and can be carried forward for reimbursement in future years to
offset qualified medical expenses. HRA balances may be used during employment
or after termination of employment to pay, or be reimbursed for, eligible medical bills.
The City contributes the amount of this liability every year to an account in the
employee’s name in the custody of a third party administrator so that there is no
outstanding unfunded liability.
8. LOCAL IMPROVEMENT ASSESSMENTS
Assessments are made against property owners within the City for each owner's
pro-rata share of the costs of Local Improvement District construction. Such
assessments represent a lien against the related property and are generally payable
in ten equal payments of principal and interest.
Special assessments are recognized as revenue only to the extent that individual
installments are currently due. The balance of such assessments is shown as
deferred inflow. The collection of revenues for special assessments and the
payment of special assessment bonds are accounted for in the LID Debt Service
Fund.
9. LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT WARRANTS PAYABLE
Each year, as needed the City authorizes warrants to finance the improvements of
certain streets along with constructing or reconstructing sidewalks, curbs, gutters,
drainage facilities and other work incidental to improvements along streets and
issues warrants to finance the construction. The balance of warrants outstanding at
September 30, 2017, was as follows:
45
10. WASTEWATER REVENUE BONDS PAYABLE
Wastewater Revenue Bonds outstanding at September 30, 2017, were as follows:
The bond ordinance for the revenue bonds provides for the establishment of certain
accounts and reserves and further provides that all revenues of the wastewater
system are to be used initially for payment of operation and maintenance costs of
the system, principal and interest on the bonds, and establishment of certain defined
debt repayment reserves. The bonds sold at a premium of $294,149. The costs
and the premium are being amortized over the life of the bond.
11. WATER DEQ LOAN PAYABLE
Water DEQ Loan outstanding as of September 30, 2017:
Description Interest Rate Fiscal Years Balance
Water DEQ Loan Payable 1.75% 2016 to 2045 3,768,693$
This loan was obtained through the Idaho State Department of Environmental
Quality (DEQ) and is funded 77.5281% by the Federal Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and 22.4719% by DEQ. The total amount the City is able to draw is
$11,100,000, of which approximately 20% will be forgiven as a grant, leaving a total
loan payable, if fully utilized, of $8,888,750. The accrued interest is added to the
loan upon each draw and the final amortization schedule of payments will be
calculated when the full capacity of the loan is drawn.

15. RETIREMENT PLANS
Public Employee Retirement System of Idaho
Plan Description
The City contributes to the Base Plan and the Fireman’s Retirement Fund (FRF),
which are cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plans administered
by Public Employee Retirement System of Idaho (PERSI or System) that covers
substantially all employees of the State of Idaho, its agencies, and various
participating political subdivisions. The cost to administer the plan is financed
through the contributions and investment earnings of the plans. PERSI issues a
publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and the required
supplementary information for PERSI. That report may be obtained on the PERSI
website at www.persi.idaho.gov.
Responsibility for administration of the Base Plan and FRF is assigned to the Board
comprised of five members appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Idaho
Senate. State law requires that two members of the Board be active Base Plan
48
members with at least ten years of service and three members who are Idaho
citizens not members of the Base Plan except by reason of having served on the
Board.
Pension Benefits
The Base Plan provides retirement, disability, death and survivor benefits of eligible
members or beneficiaries. Benefits are based on members’ years of service, age,
and highest average salary. Members become fully vested in their retirement
benefits with five years of credited service (5 months for elected or appointed
officials). Members are eligible for retirement benefits upon attainment of the ages
specified for their employment classification. The annual service retirement
allowance for each month of credited service is 2.0% (2.3% for police/firefighters) of
the average monthly salary for the highest consecutive 42 months.
The benefit payments for the Base Plan and FRF are calculated using a benefit
formula adopted by the Idaho Legislature. The FRF cost of living increase is based
on the increase in the statewide average firefighter’s wage. The Base Plan is
required to provide a 1% minimum cost of living increase per year provided the
Consumer Price Index increases 1% or more. The PERSI Board has the authority to
provide higher cost of living increases to a maximum of the Consumer Price Index
movement or 6%, whichever is less; however, any amount above the 1% minimum
is subject to review by the Idaho Legislature.
The FRF provides retirement, disability, death and survivor benefits of eligible
members or beneficiaries. Benefits are based on members’ years of service as well
as the final average salary. A firefighter must have 5 years of service to be eligible
for a lifetime retirement allowance at age 60. Members are eligible for retirement
benefits upon attainment of the ages specified for their employment classification.
The annual service retirement allowance is based on Idaho Code Title 72 Chapter
14. The benefit payments for the FRF are calculated using a benefit formula adopted
by the Idaho Legislature. The FRF cost of living increase is based on the increase in
the statewide average firefighter’s wage.
Member and Employer Contributions
Member and employer contributions paid to the Base Plan and FRF are set by
statute and are established as a percent of covered compensation. Contribution
rates are determined by the PERSI Board within limitations, as defined by state law.
The Board may make periodic changes to employer and employee contribution rates
(expressed as percentages of annual covered payroll) that are adequate to
accumulate sufficient assets to pay benefits when due.
The contribution rates for employees covered under the Base Plan are set by statute
at 60% of the employer rate for general employees and 72% for police and
firefighters. As of June 30, 2017, the employee contribution rate was 6.79% for
49
general employees and 8.36% for police and firefighters. The employer contribution
rate as a percent of covered payroll is set by the Retirement Board and was 11.32%
for general employees and 11.66% for police and firefighters of covered
compensation. The City’s contributions required and paid to the Base Plan were
$882,266 for the year ended September 30, 2017.
As of January 1, 2016, the total FRF employer rate was reduced to 16.66% which
includes the lower employer excess class D rate of 5% plus the PERSI class 2
firefighters rate of 11.66%. The City’s contributions to FRF were $41,684 for the
year ended September 30, 2017.
Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense (Revenue), and Deferred Outflows of
Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions
At September 30, 2017, the City reported a liability for its proportionate share of the
net pension liability of the PERSI Base Plan and an asset for its proportionate share
of the net pension asset of FRF. The net pension asset of FRF and net pension
liability of the Base Plan were measured as of July 1, 2017, and the total State of
Idaho pension liability for the Plans used to calculate the net pension asset/liability
were determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date.
The City’s proportion of the net pension liability, expense, and deferrals is split into
three parts:
1) Base Plan including non-FRF firemen .2405212%
2) Base Plan including FRF firemen .0081586%
3) FRF Excess Costs Plan. .3343618%
The allocation of net pension liability, expense, and deferrals was based on the
City’s share of contributions to each relative to the total contributions of all Plan
employers as of July 1, 2017.
For the year ended September 30, 2017, the City recognized pension expense
(revenue) of:
Base Plan: $(29,809)
Base FRF Plan: $ 720
FRF Excess Plan: $(53,385)
At September 30, 2017, the City reported deferred outflows of resources and
deferred inflows of resources related to the Base Plan pension plan from the
following sources:

$241,653 reported as deferred outflows of resources related to Base Plan pensions
resulting from Employer contributions subsequent to the measurement date will be
recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability in the year ending September
30, 2017.
The average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are
provided with pensions through the System (active and inactive employees)
determined for the period ended June 30, 2017, is 4.9 years and for the period
ending June 30, 2016 is 4.9 years.

53
Actuarial Assumptions
Valuations are based on actuarial assumptions, the benefit formulas, and employee
groups. Level percentages of payroll normal costs are determined using the Entry
Age Normal Cost Method. Under the Entry Age Normal Cost Method, the actuarial
present value of the projected benefits of each individual included in the actuarial
valuation is allocated as a level percentage of each year’s earnings of the individual
between entry age and assumed exit age.
The Base Plan amortizes any unfunded actuarial accrued liability based on a level
percentage of payroll. The maximum amortization period for the Base Plan
permitted under Section 59-1322. Idaho Code, is 25 years.
Unfunded actuarial accrued liability for FRF is the difference between the actuarial
present value of the FRF benefits not provided by the Base Plan and the FRF
assets. Currently FRF assets exceed this actuarial present value; therefore there is
not an unfunded liability to amortize at this time. The maximum amortization period
for FRF permitted under Section 59-1394. Idaho Code, is 50 years.
The total pension liability in the July 1, 2017 actuarial valuation was determined
using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the
measurement:
Mortality rates were based on the RP – 2000 combined table for healthy males or
females as appropriate with the following offsets:
Set back 3 years for teachers
No offset for male fire and police
Forward one year for female fire and police
Set back one year for all general employees and all beneficiaries
54
For the Base Plan, an experience study was performed for the period July 1, 2007
through June 30, 2013 which reviewed all economic and demographic assumptions
other than mortality. Mortality and all economic assumptions were studied in 2014
for the period from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2013. The Total Pension Liability
as of June 30, 2017 is based on the results of an actuarial valuation date July 1,
2017.
For the FRF Plan, an experience study was performed for the period July 1, 2011
through June 30, 2015 which reviewed all economic and demographic assumptions
other than mortality. Mortality and all economic assumptions were studied in 2014
for the period from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2013. The Total Pension Asset as
of June 30, 2017 is based on the results of an actuarial valuation date of July 1,
2017.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined
using the building block approach and a forward-looking model 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 weighing the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation
percentage and by adding expected inflation.
Even though history provides a valuable perspective for setting the investment return
assumption, the System relies primarily on an approach which builds upon the latest
capital market assumptions. Specifically, the System uses consultants, investment
managers and trustees to develop capital market assumptions in analyzing the
System’s asset allocation. The assumptions and the System’s formal policy for
asset allocation are shown below. The formal asset allocation policy is somewhat
more conservative than the current allocation of System’s assets.
The best-estimate range for the long-term expected rate of return is determined by
adding expected inflation to expected long-term real returns and reflecting expected
volatility and correlation. The capital market assumptions are as of January 1, 2017.
55
Capital Market Assumptions
Actuarial Assumptions
Assumed Inflation – Mean 3.25%
Assumed Inflation – Standard Deviation 2.00%
Portfolio Arithmetic Mean Return 8.42%
Portfolio Long-Term Expected Geometric Rate of Return 7.50%
Assumed Investment Expenses 0.40%
Long-Term Expected Geometric Rate of Return
Net of Expenses 7.10%
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.10%. The
projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that
contributions from plan members will be made at the current contribution rate.
Based on these assumptions, the pension plans’ net position was projected to be
available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members.
Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was
applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension
liability. The long-term expected rate of return was determined net of pension plan
investment expense but without reduction for pension plan administrative expense.
56
Sensitivity of the Employer’s proportionate share of the net pension liability to
changes in the discount rate.
The following presents the Employer’s proportionate share of the net pension liability
calculated using the discount rate of 7.10 percent, as well as what the Employer’s
proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a
discount rate that is 1-percentage-point lower (6.10 percent) or 1-percentage-point
higher (8.10 percent) than the current rate:

401(k) Plan
The City has a single employer defined contribution 401(k) pension plan (the Plan),
established by ordinance and in compliance with Internal Revenue Service
Regulations. The Plan covers substantially all city employees who meet defined age
and service requirements. The Plan is a salary reduction contribution plan with the
employer matching 50% of the first four percent of the employee’s contribution.
Employees are 100% vested immediately on their salary reduction amounts and
become 100% vested after five years of service with the City on the employer’s
contribution portion.
The City’s total 2017 fiscal year payroll for all employees was $9,013,688 of which
$6,170,957 was for covered payroll for employees who were members of the Plan.
Employer and employee contributions to the Plan were 2.00% and 4.50%
respectively, of covered payroll. Total contributions to the Plan for the fiscal year by
the City and the employees were $123,419 and $277,989 respectively. The Plan
had $5,951,342 in net assets at September 30, 2017.

The City expenditures exceeded the budgeted amounts in the following funds during
the year ended September 30, 2017:
58
The following individual funds had fund deficits on September 30, 2017:
Police Impact Fee Fund --There is a fund deficit of $37,230 that was created
from the purchase of the old street shop to be used as a police storage facility
building and training area. The City expects to eliminate this deficit as police
impact fees are received.
High 5 & Other Grants Fund-- There is a fund deficit of $9,611. The City
expects to eliminate this deficit as grant revenues are received.
Golf Course Operations Fund-- There is a fund deficit of $38,632. The City
expects to eliminate this deficit as net income increases and transfers are
received from other funds and contributions from Madison County.
Golf Course Construction Fund-- There is a fund deficit of $578,114. The City
expects to reduce/eliminate this deficit from transfers each year from the golf
operations fund, the general fund, and contributions from Madison County.
Although the loan is guaranteed 50% by the City, thru the Revolving Loan Fund,
and 50% by Madison County, the actual loan is shown on the financials as due to
the Water Operations Fund.
LID Debt Service Fund-- There is a fund deficit of $119,448. The City expects
to eliminate this deficit as assessments are collected on the LID projects.
17. COMPONENT UNIT – REXBURG URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY
Reporting Entity
In evaluating how to define the City, for financial reporting purposes,
management has considered all potential component units. The decision to
include a potential component unit in the reporting entity was made by applying
the criteria set forth in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The basic, but
not the only, criterion for including a potential component within the reporting
entity is the governing body's ability to exercise oversight responsibility. The
most significant manifestation of this ability is financial interdependency. Other
manifestations of the ability to exercise oversight responsibility include, but are
not limited to, the selection of governing authority, the designation of
management, the ability to significantly influence operations and accountability
for fiscal matters. Other criteria used to evaluate potential component units for
inclusion or exclusion from the reporting entity include the existence of special
financing relationships, regardless of whether the City is able to exercise
oversight responsibilities. Based upon the application of these criteria, the
following is a brief review of the component units addressed in defining the
government's reporting entity.
59
Included with the reporting entity:
Rexburg Urban Renewal Agency – This component unit was organized to make
improvements to infrastructure. It derives its revenues from the incremental tax
increases that all taxing districts forfeit from increase in value of the land and
buildings in the new construction areas.
Cash and Investments – The component unit had total cash and investment
balances of $7,398,187, broken down as follows:
Wells Fargo bank deposits of $286,548 (bank balance of $286,607), covered by
FDIC insurance up to $250,000. DL Evans Bank Bond Reserve Fund deposit of
$350,678, covered up to $250,000 by FDIC insurance, Citizens Community Bank
CD Deposits of $33,283 all FDIC insured. Idaho State Local Government
Investment Pool of $4,713,133 which is diversified to reduce risk and is mostly
invested in US Government securities, Idaho State Diversified Bond Fund of
$2,014,545 which is diversified to reduce risk and is mostly invested in US
Government securities, for a total of $7,398,246.
Long-term Debt – Revenue Allocation (Tax Increment) Bonds do not constitute
indebtedness within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation
or restriction, and does not constitute a general obligation or debt of the City of
Rexburg, Idaho, or any municipality, the State of Idaho, or any of its political
subdivisions. In no event does this Bond give rise to a general obligation or
liability of the Agency, any municipality, the State of Idaho, or any of its political
subdivisions, or give rise to a charge against their general credit or taxing
powers, or be payable out of any funds or properties other than those of the
Agency specifically pledged therefore. Only tax increment property tax revenues,
which are paid to the tax increment district for which the bonds were sold, are
obligated to pay off the bond.

19. LEASE WITH HOSPITAL
In 2009 the City entered into a lease agreement, effective October 1, 2009, with
Madison Memorial Hospital to lease a portion of the City building to the Hospital.
The City renewed the lease for another five years in 2015 and payments are in
monthly installments of $6,533 or $78,400 annually. Lease income from the
Hospital was $78,396 for the year ended September 30, 2017. Future Lease
income is expected to be $78,396 each year through FY 2019.
20. FUND BALANCES
Beginning in Fiscal year 2011, in accordance with GASB 54, The City began to
classify fund balances depending on the relative strength of the spending constraints
placed on the purposes for which resources can be used as follows:
Nonspendable fund balance- Amounts that cannot be spent because they are not
in spendable form or they are legally or contractually required to be maintained
intact.
Restricted fund balance- Amounts constrained for a specific purpose by external
creditors, grantors, laws, or regulations of other governments.
Committed fund balance- Amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes
determined by a formal action of the City Council.
Assigned fund balance- Amounts intended to be used by the government for
specific purposes. Intent can be expressed by the governing body or by an official or
body to which the governing body delegates the authority. In the case of the City,
this authority is not delegated, which is why there is no assigned fund balance.
Unassigned fund balance- Amounts not contained in the other classifications.
Unassigned amounts are technically available for any purpose. Positive unassigned
amounts are only reported in the general fund. GASB 54 states that if another
governmental fund has a fund balance deficit, then it will be reported as a negative
amount in the unassigned classification in that fund. In the case of Rexburg, we
have left negative fund balances in the fund balance category where they would
have been classified if they had a positive fund balance to provide consistency from
year to year on the governmental financial statements and because those deficits will
be paid back with future revenues from those specific funds and not the revenues of
other governmental funds.
The City considers restricted amounts to have been spent first when an expenditure
is incurred for purposes for which multiple classifications may be included in a fund
balance. For example, restricted amounts are used first, followed by committed,
assigned, and unassigned amounts in that order, for purposes of reporting fund
balance.

Major Revenue Funds
The City Council has established a minimum fund balance guideline for the general
fund. As a general practice, the City will strive to maintain a total general fund
committed fund balance equal to a minimum of 25% or greater of general fund
budgeted expenditures for the last ended fiscal year. The City Council strives to
maintain a minimum committed fund balance in the general fund to mitigate current
and future risks (e.g., revenue shortfalls, unanticipated expenditures, and natural
disasters or emergencies). Fund balance levels are affected by actual revenues and
expenditures and will be used to achieve and maintain the City’s minimum fund
balance goals and to meet the next year’s budget expenditure requirements. In the
event there is excess fund balance in the general fund over the 25% minimum
reserve, good management of public monies would suggest that the surplus be
designated to future expenses to increase service levels that are currently deficient
and maintain those that are sufficient.
21. FUND BALANCES CLASSIFICATIONS
Beginning in Fiscal year 2011, in accordance with GASB 54, The City began to
classify fund balances depending on the relative strength of the spending constraints
placed on the purposes for which resources can be used. GASB 54 also requires
that negative fund balances be classified as unassigned. The management of the
City feels that this is misleading and inconsistent in the way the City handles its
funds. See Note 19 for the funds that had negative fund balances.
22. GOLF COURSE FUND RECLASSIFICATION
Beginning in Fiscal year 2017, the City determined that the golf course fund would
be better classified as a governmental fund rather than an enterprise fund as it had
been done in the past. The fund was moved out of the business type funds into the
governmental type funds. All of its fixed assets were also transferred to the
governmental fund fixed assets. The governmental type fund balance was increased
by $717,751 and the business type fund balances was decreased by the same
amount.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN
AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Rexburg, Idaho
We have audited, in accordance with the 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 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 City of Rexburg, Idaho, as of and for the
year ended September 30, 2017, and the related notes to the financial statements,
which collectively comprise City of Rexburg, Idaho’s basic financial statements, and
have issued our report thereon dated March 2, 2018.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered City of
Rexburg, Idaho’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine
the audit procedures 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 City of Rexburg, Idaho’s internal control.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Rexburg,
Idaho’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 a 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 a 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.
88
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.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether City of Rexburg, Idaho’s
financial statements are free from 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 on 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR
PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE REQUIRED BY
THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Rexburg, Idaho
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
We have audited City of Rexburg, Idaho’s compliance with the types of compliance
requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct
and material effect on each of City of Rexburg, Idaho’s major federal programs for the
year ended September 30, 2017. City of Rexburg, Idaho’s major federal programs are
identified in the summary of auditors’ results section of the accompanying schedule of
findings and questioned costs.
Management’s Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grants applicable to its federal programs.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of City of Rexburg,
Idaho’s major federal programs based on our audit of the types of compliance
requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirements of
Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform
Guidance). Those standards and the Uniform Guidance require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with
the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and
material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence about City of Rexburg, Idaho’s compliance with those requirements
and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances.
90
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for
each major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination
of City of Rexburg, Idaho’s compliance.
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
In our opinion, City of Rexburg, Idaho, complied, in all material respects, with the types
of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material
effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended September 30, 2017.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of City of Rexburg, Idaho, is responsible for establishing and maintaining
effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements
referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered
City of Rexburg, Idaho’s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements
that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program to determine
the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program and to test and
report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over
compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of City of
Rexburg, Idaho’s internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a
control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal
course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct,
noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely
basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance
requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a
timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency,
or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of
compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material
weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by
those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all
deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or
significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over
compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material
weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
91
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the
scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing
based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not
suitable for any other purpose.
