2 Popular Annual Financial Report — Year ended June 30, 2021Greenville, North Carolina
OVERVIEW
The City of Greenville financial cycle begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. During this time frame, two major processes take place: the Annual Operating and Capital Budget process and the Annual Audit. The 2021 Popular
Annual Financial Report (PAFR) provides an overview of the City’s financial results and is intended to increase
awareness throughout the community of the City’s financial operations.
The financial information is obtained from the audited financial statements in the City’s 2021 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). The PAFR is not required to present the same level of detail as the CAFR and, therefore,
may not fully conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
This report highlights the overall financial condition and trends of the City. The 2021 CAFR is audited by Cherry Beckaert LLP and has received an unmodified or “clean” audit opinion. This report may be viewed on the City’s website, located at GreenvilleNC.gov.

4 Popular Annual Financial Report — Year ended June 30, 2021Greenville, North Carolina
I am pleased to present, on behalf of the City Council and the Management of the City of Greenville, the City’s Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 2021. Provided in this report are the financial highlights from the previous fiscal year. The
City provides significant financial detail through the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) which is available to you on the City’s website, greenvillenc.gov.
Analyzing financial statements can be challenging,
especially for those who do not do so on a regular basis. The PAFR is designed to address that issue by providing a summary of the City’s financial position in a user-friendly
format. The PAFR is intended to be a supplement to the CAFR, not a replacement.
The City of Greenville prides itself on its comprehensive and quality services, all provided while maintaining a
sound financial position. It is an important part of our financial mission at the City of Greenville to be transparent
in providing you with complete information on the finances of our programs. We hope that you find it to be informative and understandable. As you review this PAFR, please feel free to share any questions, concerns, or recommendations you may have with us.

GREENVILLE
Anchored by East Carolina University and Vidant Health (Uni-Med), Greenville is the medical, education, retail and entertainment hub of Eastern North Carolina. It’s also the 10th largest city in North Carolina, with a population of 95,533 (2022 U.S. Census Estimate). The City of Greenville is ranked in the top ten
of the nation's "Best Small Places For Business And Careers" by Forbes Magazine, top ten of the nation's "Micro Cities of the Future" by Financial Times, and top 100 of the nation's "Best Communities for Young
People" by America's Promise Alliance. Reasons for Greenville's accolades include a business friendly atmosphere, low cost of living and an educated population (37.8% City residents over the age of 25 have a bachelor’s degree or higher, based on 2021 U.S. Census estimates).
MAJOR EMPLOYERS
In a community where healthcare and education thrive, it is no surprise that the Greenville’s top employers would be from one of those fields. Vidant Health, which includes the East Carolina Heart Institute and the James and Connie Maynard Children’s Hospital, leads the way in jobs. Here is a look at the number of employees at a few of the city’s major employers:

FY 2021 FINANCIAL RESULTS
GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES
The Governmental activities section in the City’s financial statements includes programs normally
supported by taxes and allocations/grants from federal and state governments. Governmental revenue sources cover various services including public safety (Fire, Police, and Emergency Communications),
public infrastructure (Planning, Inspections, and roadways) and the Parks, Recreation and Community Development Departments, as well as general government administration (Human Resources, Information
Technology, and Finance). Governmental activities also include special revenue activities, such as grants,
and capital project activities, such as road resurfacing, that support general infrastructure activities across the city.
Increases or decreases in net position may serve as a
useful indicator of whether the City’s financial position is
improving or declining. The City’s revenue increased slightly over the prior year. Increases in operating expenditures
year over year are due to continued investment in capital improvement projects.

PROPERTY TAX BREAKDOWN
In order for the City of Greenville to provide the many services it does for citizens, it needs to generate
revenue. One of the main sources of revenue is Ad Valorem (or property) tax. With the property tax rate being 49.45¢ per $100 of valuation for FY 2021, it made up 42% of the total General Fund revenues.
Property tax revenues consist of real property values, personal property values, motor vehicles, and public
service companies. For FY 2021, the valuation estimate provided by the Pitt County Tax Office was
$ 7,821,515,268. This represented a 13.18% increase in tax values from the previous year.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Infrastructure, transportation, parks, and buildings are the foundation of a community. The projects in the
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) provide basic necessities and amenities that make Greenville a desirable place to live, work, and play. To maintain a low tax rate, it is imperative that the CIP projects reflect the
City’s Strategic Plan and that capital improvements are incorporated in the annual operating budget. A few of the projects included in the City’s CIP include street resurfacing, park and greenway development,
information system infrastructure, as well as facility renovations and repairs.

BOND REFERENDUM
The citizens of Greenville voted in favor of a bond referendum on November 3, 2015, authorizing the City to raise funds through the sale of bonds for five identified street and pedestrian transportation
improvement projects. The referendum totals approximately $15.85 million in general obligation bonds over seven years, and the issuance of debt can occur at different times and amounts throughout the seven
years. The bond referendum was required because the City’s current property tax rate does not have the capacity to fund all of the transportation improvements up front. Waiting to secure funding for repairs and improvements would be more costly due to continued deterioration of existing roadways and increasing
interest rates, while certain improvements must be undertaken concurrently with other projects. The City issued approximately $8 million in bonds in FY 2017 to fund the first phase of projects as included in the
bond referendum.

UNDERSTANDING CITY DEBT
The City is subject to the Municipal Finance Law of North Carolina, which limits the amount of net bonded debt the City may have outstanding to eight percent (8%) of the appraised value of property subject to taxation. According to Pitt County Tax Assessor records, the City of Greenville has an estimated assessed
value of $ 7,821,515,268 for fiscal year 2021. Based on this, the City’s legal debt capacity is approximately $ 625.7 million. This capacity covers the debt that would be subject to property taxation.
The following is a summary of the City’s outstanding debt as of June 30, 2021:
The City’s policy is to maintain a ten-year debt payout ratio of 60% or higher. Approximately 90% of the City’s current outstanding capital debt as of June 30, 2017 will be retired
in the next 8 years as shown in the following graph:

The Public Works Department is committed to providing our community with the highest level of customer service through a cost-effective, efficient, and environmentally responsible operation. The department aims to preserve and maintain the City’s infrastructure and natural resources for the benefit of all.
Public Works is composed of the following divisions: Engineering, Street Maintenance, Greenville Area
Transit (GREAT), Sanitation, Fleet Maintenance, Building & Grounds, and Administration. Through these divisions, the Public Works Department provides a host of services to our citizens. In addition to the many services provided directly to the citizens, Public Works develops and maintains the City’s Facility
Improvement Program (FIP), Vehicle Replacement Fund (VRF), and various Capital projects. The department is dedicated to maintaining and enhancing the infrastructure and appearance of the city.
During the third quarter of 2019, a standalone Engineering Department was formed to more effectively meet the current and future infrastructure needs of the city. The Engineering Department manages traffic
services, transportation planning, land development, stormwater management, capital projects, and asset management.
