City Council
Mayor Lorin Palmer Sherrie OhrnTeddy HodgesJared Henderson Steven Shields
The City Council
Under Herriman City’s council-manager form of
government, city council members representing four
districts are elected, as well as an at-large mayor. All
five City Council members are considered equal vot-
ing members and serve terms of four years.
In addition to their local legislative duties as elect-
ed officials, City Council members serve on various
boards and commissions throughout the state, giv-
ing Herriman residents a voice and influence at the
county, regional, and state levels.
Under this form of government, residents elect the
City Council, who then appoints a City Manager
manager to implement policies, oversee the local
government’s day-to-day operations, and advise it.
The City Manager position is similar to that of cor-
porate chief executive officer (CEO).

Letter To Our Residents
It gives us great pride to present Herriman City’s
Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) for the fis-
cal year that ended June 30, 2021.
This report provides readers with a summary of the
City’s financial standing. The purpose of the PAFR
is to illustrate the City’s financial information in a
clear and concise manner so that all who are inter-
ested can easily understand the City’s performance,
revenues, expenditures, and future trends. This is an
essential part of the City’s efforts to provide trans-
parency, as well as create an understanding of the key
services provided by the City to create a safe and en-
joyable place to live, work, and play.
Alan Rae
Herriman City Director of Finance
Like unto many cities, counties, and states, COVID-19
presented several challenges to Herriman City and its
residents. Still, Herriman City is financially healthy
as a result of fiscal restraint and good planning. The
financial reports included reveal its sound financial
position and growing tax revenue.
We are proud of the quality service that the City
provides its residents. This high level of service has
been sustained without instilling a City property tax
increase. The City will continue to focus efforts on
providing valued service and taking steps to ensure
economic vitality, while always increasing public
awareness, accountability, and transparency of the
City’s financial information. These achievements, to-
gether with strong principles, will help continue the
success of the City.
All of the financial information in this report is sum-
mary information obtained from the more detailed
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report that is
available at the city hall or at www.herriman.org/acfr.
We are honored to serve our community and encour-
age all citizens to be actively engaged. We welcome
any input, questions, and comments that you may
have regarding this report. To contact the Finance
Department, call 801-446-5323.

About Herriman City
Herriman is one of the fastest growing cities in not
only Utah, but the United States. The rapid growth
creates many challenges that the City works con-
stantly to address. The City is concerned about infra-
structure requirements for growth, sustaining level
of service, and maintaining financial strength. It is a
fine balancing act to make sure that the goals do not
focus too much on one aspect.
The City’s master plans identify future needs and
their associated costs, and put those in a timeframe
to help anticipate the requirements to fulfill those
needs. The City uses cash flow projections to deter-
mine what cash resources will be available and what
financing may be required.

The General Fund is the operating fund of the City.
Therefore, it is important to focus on the General
Fund to assess the overall health of the City’s financ-
es.
Total General Fund revenue in fiscal year 2021 was
$25,655,135, compared to $20,584,122 in fiscal year
2020. Tax revenue is the largest source of income, in-
cluding property, sales, and franchise taxes. License
and permit revenue is primarily from fees related to
building and development. Intergovernmental reve-
nues are largely from fuel taxes. The following charts
show the proportional share of each of the revenues
represented in the general fund.

Per Capita Bonded Debt
Outstanding Debt
As of the end of fiscal year 2021, the City has out-
standing bond debt in the amount of $58,561,640.
The City has several types of revenue bonds. A rev-
enue bond is secured by some form of revenue that
the City receives. Herriman City has $23,210,000
in Sale and Franchise Tax Bonds, $8,544,000 in Tax
Increment Bonds, $7,236,550 in Special Assessment
Bonds, and $34,797,746 in Water Revenue Bonds. The
tax increment bonds are secured by property taxes
that have been conceded to Herriman by other tax-
ing agencies to promote economic development. Spe-
cial Assessment bonds are secured by the real estate
in the Herriman Towne Center and the City receives
annual assessment on that property. Herriman City
bonded for $20,000,000 for new water infrastructure
during the fiscal year 2021.
The following table shows the bonded debt per resi-
dent over the last nine years:

Sales Tax
Sales tax is the largest source of recurring revenue in
Herriman City.
Local sales tax is 1% of sale, and the locality (Her-
riman) making the sale receives one half of the lo-
cal taxes. The other half is distributed by the State of
Utah to cities, based on population.
Currently, Herriman City receives about 80% of its
sales tax from the state-distributed portion.
The graph below shows the portion of point of sale
revenue compared to the state distribution:

Development Impact Fees
Impact Fees
The State of Utah allows impact fees on new con-
struction to help build new infrastructure. It is con-
sidered unfair to existing residents to have them pay
for improvement related to new residents. Herriman
City currently has impact fees for parks, roads, storm
drains, and water. The City also charges developers
a fee to install streetlights and street signs in a new
development.
(Note: The water impact fees will be reported later in
the Utility Fund information.)
The following table shows the Revenue and Expendi-
tures for these funds:
