HomeMy WebLinkAboutCity of Lincoln - Public Financial Report 1 Popular Annual Financial Report fiscal year ended 8/31/21 POPULAR ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT Fiscal Year ended August 31, 2021 We are pleased to present the City of Lincoln’s Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021. The popular annual financial report is an unaudited summary report of the financial activities of the City of Lincoln and is prepared primarily from detailed information in the City’s 2021 and 2020 Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports, with selected information from Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports prepared for earlier years. The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report is prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and includes audited financial statements. As such, it provides much more detail as well as full disclosure of material events, both financial and non-financial. The information in the comprehensive report by nature can be both technical and complex and therefore not as useful to citizens wishing to gain a general understanding of the City’s finances. The PAFR has been prepared to simplify the information in the report and better inform the public about the overall financial condition of the City, without the substantial use of technical accounting terms or excessive detail. The PAFR is not intended to provide a complete financial picture of the City in accordance with GAAP.

The first settlers were attracted to the area for the abundance of salt that could be used primarily in the preservation of meat. In 1867, the village became Nebraska’s state capital, was renamed Lincoln, and incorporated on April 7, 1869. Railroads began to use Lincoln as a stop westward and by 1892, Lincoln was a rail center. In 1920, Lincoln became part of the Detroit-Lincoln-Denver Highway Association, whose goal was to establish a continuous route from Detroit to Denver. Today Lincoln occupies a land area of approximately 101 square miles, serves a population of approximately 291,000, and enjoys a unique position in Nebraska as the center of the state’s governmental and educational activities. Lincoln also has a growing high-tech sector and makes up a part of what is known as the “Midwest Silicon Prairie.” Interstate 80, U.S. Highways 2, 6, 34, and 77, and two commercial airports in Lincoln and Omaha serve the Lincoln metropolitan area. Railroad transportation facilities include Burlington Northern/Santa Fe and Union Pacific. AMTRAK provides daily passenger and package express services. Ground transportation includes Greyhound, Arrow, and Burlington Trailways bus lines, taxi services, Uber and Lyft car services, and local StarTran bus services. The average commute in Lincoln is 18 minutes and nearly 18 percent of area commuters spend less than 10 minutes on the road. City government has a broad range of responsibilities including electric, water and sanitary sewer systems; and an impressive parks and playground system of over 7,800 acres maintained for public use, nine public swimming pools, 172 trail miles, and five public golf courses. The City has cooperated actively with county government in several joint governmental buildings, and in other specific areas of responsibility, including health, planning, civil defense, data processing, tax collection, and jail facilities. There are cooperative agreements with the United States government on parks and flood control; with the University of Nebraska on planning and property transfer; with the area Watershed Distict on flood control; and with the Lincoln Public School District on recreation. 0 50,000 100,000 150,000 200,000 250,000 300,000 350,000 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 2020 est Historical Population Growth Lincoln’s population has been steadily increasing based on the census figures provided above.

Governmental activities are generally financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other nonexchange revenues, and include general administrative services, public safety, streets and highways, health, planning and zoning, parks and recreation, libraries, aging services, job programs, urban development, mass transit, engineering, self-insurance, and fleet management. Business-type activities are programs of the City financed in whole or in part by fees charged for goods or services and include water, wastewater and electric utilities; ambulance transport; solid waste management; golf courses; entertainment center; broadband facilities; and parking. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government (Police and Fire Pension, Agency funds) and are not reflected in the financial information included here because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City’s own programs.

Deferred Inflows of Resources: An acquisition of net position by the City that is applicable to a future reporting period. 7 Popular Annual Financial Report fiscal year ended 8/31/21 The statement of net position presents information on all the City’s assets and deferred outflows of resources, and the City’s liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, with the net difference reported as 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. At August 31, 2021, the City’s net position, as shown below, had increased by $171,015,639 in comparison to August 31, 2020. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Therefore, some revenues and expenses impacting the city’s net position will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave). The statement of net position distinguishes functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). By far the largest portion of the City’s net position (74%) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, improvements, utility plant, infrastructure, and machinery and equipment), less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. An additional portion of the City’s net position (12%) represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on their use. The remaining balance of unrestricted net position (14%) may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. At August 31, 2020, and August 31, 2021, the City can report positive balances in all three categories of net position, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business-type activities.
