This report and the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) report on the financial health of our organization. An APFR is a summary of the information contained in the ACFR. Whereas the ACFR will have information regarding all City funds, the APFR shows only selected funds and is not meant to replace the ACFR. Although the numbers used in the APFR come from an audited source, we have presented them in a condensed, easy to understand, non-GAAP format. GAAP reports deal with the presentation of segregated funds as well as full disclosure of all material financial and non-financial events in notes to the financial statements, while non-GAAP reports do not contain such notes. Citizens who wish to review audited GAAP basis financial statements can refer to Eagle Mountain City’s ACFR, which contains more detailed information and is available from the Finance Department or on the City’s website at emcity.org. Eagle Mountain City has received the Government Finance Officers Association’s “Certificate of Achievement in Financial Reporting” award for each of the last ten fiscal years beginning with fiscal year 2010. The ACFR report shows the audited financial statements along with statistical trend data for the City. This report is intended to be a synopsis of the ACFR, but it is also a glimpse on some of our pri- mary achievements this year and our challenges for the future. It is based on audited financial documents and is a summary of our financial outcomes during the 2021 fiscal year (July 1, 2020 - June 30, 2021). We are pleased to present this report to help Eagle Mountain City residents better understand how the City operates financially.

The City was incorporated just over 25 years ago in 1996 with only 250 residents. Eagle Mountain saw rapid growth during the early 2000’s and has continued to see significant growth following the 2008 recession. A recent report published by the Utah Foundation projected that Eagle Mountain’s population will expand to nearly 120,000 by the year 2050. Eagle Mountain is situated west of Utah Lake in Utah County and is conveniently located near the population centers of Salt Lake City and Provo. At over 50 square miles, Eagle Mountain is one of the largest cities in the state geographically. The City is within 40 miles of three of Utah’s largest universities—Brigham Young University, the University of Utah and Utah Valley Univer- sity. The famous Pony Express Trail runs through the City and is the source of the name for the City’s annual festival, Pony Express Days. Eagle Mountain was recognized in 2013 as the youngest city in America by CNN Money and continues to maintain a very young population. Eagle Mountain is a safe community and provides its residents with many recreational opportunities. The City’s master plan includes more than 50 miles of jogging, cycling and horse riding trails. It also is home to a large all-abilities regional park, mountain bike park, skate park, and an ATV trail system spanning more than 85 miles.

The APFR will summarize financial information for the following: Governmental Funds • General Fund: The City’s basic operating fund for many City operations • Special Revenue Funds: Intended to report specific revenue sources that are limited to a specific purpose • Impact Fees: These are fees collected from developers to help pay for the increased impact their developments will have on existing City infrastructure. These can be used to expand the capacity of City infrastructure such as roads or the sewer system. • Cemetery Fund: This fund is used to account for the revenue and expenditures that are directly tied to the operation of the City’s cemetery. • Debt Service: Although most City debt is directly tied to the operation of a few of the City’s utilities, the City does have several special assessment areas that operate to help pay for a specific project in an area of the City. The taxpayers in that area are assessed a fee to pay for those projects. • Capital Projects: Any capital projects that have restricted funding attached to it is accounted for in this special fund. Proprietary Funds These funds are used to account for all City operations that are financed by revenues generated by the operations themselves. They are also referred to as Enterprise Funds or Business-like Funds, due to the fact that they operate more like a private business. The City has the following Proprietary Funds: • Water Fund: The City’s Water Utility provides culinary water services to all of Eagle Mountain City. • Sewer Fund: The City’s Sewer Utility operates and maintains the entire sewer sys- tem, including the pipes, lift stations and the 1.2 million gallon sewer treatment plant. • Electric Fund: The City sold the Electric Utility to Rocky Mountain Power in March of 2015. • Gas Fund: The City sold the Gas Utility to Questar Gas (now Dominion Energy) in March of 2015. • Solid Waste: The City contracts with ACE Disposal for solid waste service, but col- lects the monthly fees on behalf of the company. • Storm Drain. The City’s Storm Drain Utility operates and maintains the entire storm drain system.

FY2021 APFR | 17 July 1, 2020 - June 30, 2021 Looking Forward As we close the books on Fiscal Year 2020, Eagle Mountain City is looking forward to the future and the opportunities and challenges each new year brings. Included in Eagle Mountain City’s 5-Year Plan for the future are four main categories: Transportation, Commercial Development, Parks & Trails, and Employee Recruitment. As we look to Fiscal Year 2022, each of these four ar- eas will play a large role in how the City operates. The City is seeking opportunities to increase the inventory and diversity of its parks and trails systems, including additional investment into Cory B. Wride Memorial Park. A number of commercial and industrial locations have either already opened for business, or will open, bringing jobs and increased economic activity to Eagle Mountain City. Past financial decisions, including the decision to sell the City’s gas and electric utilities, have placed the City in a strong financial position. The City is looking to take advantage of this position to improve City services and expand our capacity to provide our residents with the best facilities and services possible. Eagle Mountain is experiencing levels of growth not seen since the Great Recession, and is prepar- ing for much more growth. This will stretch the City’s infrastructure and staff, but the City is plan- ning and preparing to deal with this increase. The City has positioned itself well to enjoy the benefits of future expansion, especially in resi- dential and commercial development, and will continue to seek to become the most dynamic and desirable city.
