The City came out of the COVID-19 pandemic with a historic year in 2022, thanks in large part to the
opening of Spooky Nook Sports Champion Mi1L The facility is the largest indoor sports complex in the
United States, spanning over 1.2 million square feet of space. The facility includes space for 28
basketball courts or 46 volleyball courts, a full-size multi-sport outdoor turf field, 200-meter indoar track,
65,000 square foot fitness center, and a 5,000 square foot arcade. The site also includes a 233-room hotel
and conference center that features 19 meeting rooms. The facility is already having a significant impact
on economic development in the City, with new businesses coming into the City and current businesses
planning to expand.
The growth and attraction of manufacturing business continues to be a priority, with the City seeing
thousands of square footage in expansions from companies such as ThyssenKrupp Bilstein, Vinylmax,
and 80 Acres Farms, as well as new additions such as Saica. The City experienced growth in a variety of
sectors including construction, packaging, and food. Investment along the main business corridors has
continued, with numerous residential and commercial projects spanning the High-Main Street districts,
including the Rossville Flats, which broke ground in November 2021. The complex is expected to be
complete in fall of 2023, and will offer approximately 76 modern garden-style apartments and two 1,600-
square-foot commercial spaces in the historic Rossville neighborhood.
Our Economic Development Department warked with 18 retail and restaurant businesses that opened or
expanded in Hamilton in 2022. All of these businesses enhance the quality of life in Hamilton, making it
a better place for people to live, work, and shop. New or expanded small businesses in 2022 included:

Now one of Hamilton's largest companies, ThyssenKrupp Bilstein has been a reliable advocate and
business partner to the Hamilton community for many years. The company began production at its facility
just off Symmes Road in 1995. With only about 185 employees in 2011, the German-based auto parts
manufacturer has grown to approximately 750 employees as of December 2021, and invested a total of
$43.2 million in expanding its facilities. In 2021, the company was awarded a state tax credit to create
more jobs and increase business opportunities. The credit comes as a result of their newly announced
expansion: a 150,000 square foot addition that will bring 150 new full-time positions and generate
approximately $5.6 million in additional annual payroll. Hamilton has many wonderful employers, and
as one of them, Bilstein has consistently demonstrated its commitment to our city and this region as a
whole.
Vinylmax, a Hamilton company that manufactures vinyl and wood windows and window replacements,
was awarded a state tax credit in 2021 to create more jobs and increase business opportunities. The credit
comes as a result of their announced 150,000 square foot expansion that will bring 150 new full-time
positions and generate approximately $5.6 million more in annual payroll. In July 2020, Saica Group,
one of the largest and most advanced European players in the development and production of recycled
paper for corrugated packaging, announced its �rst North American facility in Hamilton, Ohio. The new
350,000 square-foot corrugated manufacturing facility in the Hamilton Enterprise Park produced its first
boxes in November 2021 and became fully operational in early 2022. With this new project, Saica Group
created 64 new jobs in the City of Hamilton. The jobs created at the site consist of 27 skilled operators,
15 manufacturing, engineering, and supply chain professionals, 13 sales staff, and 9 office and
management positions.
In 2020, 80 Acres Farms officially opened their $30 million indoor farming complex in Hamilton
Enterprise Park. The 64,000 square foot indoor farm can produce 300 times more food than an ordinary
farm using 97% less water, without the need for pesticides. The company is revolutionizing the way
Americans grow, sell, buy, and eat food. The company's headquarters are located in Hamilton, and has
facilities in Ohio, Arkansas, North Carolina, and Alabama. In 2021, Newsweek Magazine named the
company no. 81 among "America's Most Loved Workplaces 2021" from its survey of over 800,000
employees.
The City continues to see development on Route 4, a highly traveled corridor in Hamilton. Third Eye
Brewing is currently constructing a$3.1 development in the former Pepsi Bottling Plant. The new
facility will include a 10,000 square foot production facility, a spacious taproom, and a full-service
kitchen. The project is expected to be complete in 2023. Nearby in this area, the YWCA opened its new
$11 million facility. The new location includes 45 permanent and supportive housing units for people
experiencing chronic homelessness in Butler County.

For the Year Ended December 31, 2022
Several proposed upcoming projects in the Lindenwald neighborhood are expected to make signi�cant
economic impacts in the area. Bloomfield/Schon, in partnership with the City of Hamilton, is planning to
develop the Shuler-Benninghofen Mill on the corner of Pleasant and Williams Avenues. The investment,
expected to be north of $20 million, would bring over 100 new apartment units and retail space to a
neglected historic property in Hamilton's most populous neighborhood. In addition, plans are in the
works for renovation of the iconic Roemer Hardware building.
INTERNAL ACCOUNTING AND BUDGETARY CONTROLS
The City's budgetary accounting system was designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurances
that:
1. The City's assets are protected against loss and unauthorized use or disposition; and
2. Reliable financial reports for preparing financial statements and providing accountability for
assets are maintained.
The concept of reasonable assurance states internal controls should be evaluated using the following
criteria:
L The expenditure associated with providing the internal controls should not exceed the
benefits likely to be derived from their implementation; and
2. The evaluation of the offsetting costs and bene�ts involves estimates and judgment by the
members of the Finance Department.
It is the belief of the administrative and financial management personnel that the City's financial controls
adequately safeguard existing assets and provide reasonable assurance of the proper recording of financial
transactions.
Budgetary control is maintained by an encumbrance of purchase commitment amounts prior to the release
of purchase orders to vendors. The City Manager and the appropriate Department Director submit
requisitions for the expenditure of monies to the Director of Finance for certification of funds and
preparation of a purchase order after approvaL The purchase order is reviewed for the availability of
funds and the estimated expenditure is encumbered against the available appropriation. Encumbrances,
which would exceed the available appropriation, are not approved or recorded until City Council
authorizes additional appropriations. Unencumbered appropriations lapse at the end of each year.

For the Year Ended December 31, 2022
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommends local governments establish a rainy
day fund equal to at least two months operating reserve or 16.7% of annual expenditures. In 2012, City
Council enacted Budget and Financial Policies Resolution#R2012-6-25, which requires the maintenance
of a minimum General Fund Balance (reserve) of 10-16% of annual expenditures. Per this resolution, if
the General Fund reserve rises above 16°/o of General Fund revenues at the fiscal year-end, the amount
over 16°/o can be swept into an Economic Budget Stabilization Fund, which can be expended only
through special action by City Council.
In 2022, the City once again saw record income tax collections, with the General Fund's portion topping
$27.2 million, an increase of$2.7 million over actual collections in 2021. The City used a combination of
ARPA funds and carryover fund balance to make several strategic expenditures to invest in the City's
future and keep the momentum going in the growth the City has seen in recent years. The City has
budgeted $4.0 million for construction of a new Fire Station 26, $2.2 million for stormwater system
improvements, $115 million for South B Street improvements, and approximately $8.0 million (in
addition to debt proceeds of $24 million) on the construction of a new criminal justice center. The
planned criminal justice center will be the new home of the Hamilton Police Department and the
Hamilton Municipal Court. Construction on the $32 million facility will begin in 2023.
INDEPENDENT AUDIT
Included in this report is the unmodified audit opinion rendered on the City's financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2022, by Clark, Schaefer, Hackett& Co. City management plans to continue to
subject the financial statements to an annual independent audit as part of the preparation of an Annual
Comprehensive Financial Report. This annual independent audit serves to maintain and strengthen the
City's accounting and budgetary controls.
CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Hamilton for its Annual
Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. In order to be awarded a
Certificate of Achievement, the City must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized Annual
Comprehensive Financial Report,whose contents conform to program standards.

continues to conform to the Certificate of Achievement program requirements and we are submitting it to

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
City of Hamilton, Ohio:
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the
discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City
of Hamilton, Ohio (the"City") as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes to the
financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in the table of
contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the discretely presented
component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Hamilton, Ohio, as
of December 31, 2022, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows, and
the respective budgetary comparisons for the General Fund, Health Department Fund, and Coronavirus State and
Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) Fund thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
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 GovernmentAuditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards.) Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section
of our report. We are required to be independent of the City of Hamilton, Ohio and to meet our other ethical
responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for 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.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events,
considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City of Hamilton, Ohio's ability to continue as a
going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information
that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
cshco.com
Auditors'Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our
opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government
Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are
considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence
the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and GovernmentAuditing
Standards, we:
• exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
• obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 City of Hamilton, Ohio's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
• evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
• conclude whether, in ourjudgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise
substantial doubt about City of Hamilton, Ohio's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable
period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that
we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the managemenYs
discussion and analysis and other required supplementary information, as identified 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.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the
City's basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such
information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting
and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The 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 and schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic
financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the
introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditors' report thereon.
Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or
any form of assurance on them.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial
statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work
performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are
required to describe it in our report.
Other Reporting Required by GovernmentAuditing Standards
In accordance with GovernmentAuditing Standards,we have also issued our report dated June 21, 2023 on our
consideration of the City of Hamilton, Ohio'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 solely 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 the effectiveness of the City of Hamilton's 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 Hamilton's internal control over financial reporting and
compliance.

statements, required supplementary information, and an optional section that presents combining and
individual statements far nonmajor governmental funds. The basic financial statements include two kinds
of statements that present different views of the City:
These statements are as follows:
1. The Government-Wide Financial Statements — These statements provide both long-term and
short-term information about the City's overall financial status.
2. The Fund Financial Statements — These statements focus on individual parts of the City,
reporting the City's operations in more detail than the government-wide statements.

statements and provide more detailed data. Required supplemental information is also presented, which
provides additional data regarding the net pension and OPEB liabilities/assets.

CITY OF HAMILTON, OHIO
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended December 31, 2022 Unaudited
Government-wide Statements
The government-wide statements report information about the City as a whole using accounting methods
similar to those used by private-sector companies. The statement of net position includes all of the City's
assets, liabilities, and deferred outflows/inflows of resources. All of the current year's revenues and
expenses are accounted for in the statement of activities regardless of when cash is received or paid.
The two government-wide statements report the City's net position and how it has changed. Net-position
is one way to measure the City's financial health.
• Over time, increases or decreases in the City's net position are an indicator of whether its
�nancial health is improving or deteriorating,respectively.
• To assess the overall health of the City you need to consider additional nonfinancial factors such
as the City's tax base and the condition of the City's capital assets.
The government-wide financial statements of the City are divided into two categories:
• Governmental Activities — Most of the City's programs and services are reported here including
security of persons and property,public health and welfare services, basic utility services, leisure
time activities,community environment, transportation and general government.
• Business-Ty�e Activities—These services are provided on a charge for goods or services basis to
recover all of the expenses of the goods or services provided. The City's gas, electric, water and
wastewater services are reported as business-type activities.
Fund Financial Statements
Funds are accounting devices that the City uses to keep track of specific sources of funding and spending
for particular purposes. The fund financial statements provide more detailed information about the City's
most significant funds,not the City as a whole.
Governmental Funds — Most of the City's activities are reported in governmental funds, which focus on
how money flows into and out of those funds and the balances left at year-end available for spending in
future periods. These funds are reported using an accounting method called modified accrual accounting,
which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. The
governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view of the City's general government
operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information helps you determine
whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance
programs. The relationship (or differences)between governmental activities (reported in the Statement of
Net Position and the Statement of Activities) and governmental funds is reconciled in the financial
statements. The City maintains a multitude of individual governmental funds. Information is presented
separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental statement of revenues,
expenditures and changes in fund balances for the major funds. Data from the other governmental funds
are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor
governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended December 31, 2022 Unaudited
Proprietary Funds — The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are
used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial
statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its gas, electric, water and wastewater
operations. All enterprise funds are reported as major funds in the proprietary funds Statement of Net
Position and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Fund Net Position.
Internal Service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among
the City's various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for its fleet management
services and costs of certain goods or services provided to other departments or agencies of the City.
Fiduciary Funds—Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside
the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because
the resources of those funds are not available to support the City's own programs. All of the City's
�duciary activities are reported in a separate Statement of Net Position and Statement of Changes in Net
Position. Individual fund data for each of these funds is provided in the form of combining statements
elsewhere in this report.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY AS A WHOLE
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial health.
In the case of the City, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows
of resources by $357,295,457 ($99,945,917 in governmental activities and$257,349,540 in business type
activities) as of December 31, 2022. By far, the largest portion of the City's net position ($300,625,924)
reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery and equipment, infrastructure),
less any related debt used to acquire those assets that are 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. The table below provides a summary of the City's
statement of net position for 2022 compared to 2021.

An additional portion of the City's net position represents resources that are subject to external restrictions
on how they may be used. In the current year,this represented$36,233,492.
The net pension liability is reported by the City pursuant to GASB Statement 68, "Accounting and
Financial Reporting for Pensions—an Amendment of GASB Statement 27." The net OPEB liability(asset)
is reported by the City pursuant to GASB Statement 75, "Accounting and Financial Reporting for
Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions," which significantly revises accounting for costs and
liabilities related to other postemployment benefits (OPEB). For reasons discussed below, many end users
of this financial statement will gain a clearer understanding of the City's actual financial condition by
adding deferred inflows related to pension and OPEB, the net pension liability and the OPEB liabilities to
the reported net position and subtracting deferred outflows related to pension and OPEB.

CITY OF HAMILTON, OHIO
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended December 31, 2022 Unaudited
The following discussion pertains to the Net Pension and Net OPEB liabilities (asset) reported in the
City's financial statements as a result of the City's participation in the Ohio Public Employee's
Retirement System and Ohio Police and Fire Pension Fund. The Total OPEB liability reported in the
City's financial statements reflects OPEB benefits provided by the City through a Retiree Life Insurance
plan. See Note 11 for more information on this plan.
Governmental Accounting Standards Board standards are national and apply to all government financial
reports prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Prior accounting for
pensions (GASB 27) and postemployment benefits (GASB 45) focused on a funding approach. This
approach limited pension and OPEB costs to contributions annually required by law, which may or may
not be sufficient to fully fund each plan's net pension liability or net OPEB liability.
GASB 68 and GASB 75 take an earnings approach to pension and OPEB accounting; however,the nature
of Ohio's statewide pension/OPEB plans and state law governing those systems requires additional
explanation in order to properly understand the information presented in these statements.
GASB 68 and GASB 75 require the net pension liability and the net OPEB liability to equal the City's
proportionate share of each plan's collective:
l. Present value of estimated future pension/OPEB benefits attributable to active and inactive
employees' past service
2. Minus plan assets available to pay these benefits
GASB notes that pension and OPEB obligations, whether funded or unfunded, are part of the
"employment exchange" — that is, the employee is trading his or her labor in exchange for wages,
benefits, and the promise of a future pension and other postemployment benefits. GASB noted that the
unfunded portion of this promise is a present obligation of the government, part of a bargained-for benefit
to the employee, and should accordingly be reported by the government as a liability since they received
the benefit of the exchange. However, the City is not responsible for certain key factors affecting the
balance of these liabilities. In Ohio, the employee shares the obligation of funding pension benefits with
the employer. Both employer and employee contribution rates are capped by State statute. A change in
these caps requires action of both Houses of the General Assembly and approval of the Governor. Benefit
provisions are also determined by State statute. The Ohio Revised Code permits, but does not require the
retirement systems to provide healthcare to eligible benefit recipients. The retirement systems may
allocate a portion of the employer contributions to provide for these OPEB benefits.
The employee enters the employment exchange with the knowledge that the employer's promise is
limited not by contract but by law. The employer enters the exchange also knowing that there is a
specific, legal limit to its contribution to the retirement system. In Ohio, there is no legal means to
enforce the unfunded liability of the pension/OPEB plan as against the public employer. State law
operates to mitigate/lessen the moral obligation of the public employer to the employee, because all
parties enter the employment exchange with notice as to the law. The retirement system is responsible for
the administration of the pension and OPEB plans.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended December 31, 2022 Unaudited
Most long-term liabilities have set repayment schedules or, in the case of compensated absences (i.e. sick
and vacation leave), are satisfied through paid time-off or termination payments. There is no repayment
schedule for the net pension liability or the net OPEB liability. As explained above, changes in benefits,
contribution rates, and return on investments affect the balance of these liabilities, but are outside the
control of the local government. In the event that contributions, investment returns, and other changes are
insufficient to keep up with required payments, State statute does not assign/identify the responsible party
for the unfunded portion.
Due to the unique nature of how the net pension liability and the net OPEB liability are satisfied, these
liabilities are separately identified within the long-term liability section of the statement of net position.
In accordance with GASB 68 and GASB 75, the City's statements prepared on an accrual basis of
accounting include an annual pension expense and an annual OPEB expense for their proportionate share
of each plan's change in net pension liability and net OPEB liability (asset), respectively, not accounted
for as deferred inflows/outflows.

CITY OF HAMILTON, OHIO
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended December 31, 2022 Unaudited
Governmental Activities
Governmental activities net position increased $38,503,060, or 63% during 2022. An increase in
operating grants can be attributed to State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, received as part of the
American Rescue Plan Act. Also contributing to the increase in operating grants were HOME Program
grants received for new single family housing construction. Capital grants and contributions included
grants received from the State of Ohio for the construction of a bike trail as well as Ohio Department of
Transportation grants received for various street and traffic improvement projects.
Property taxes received as a result of a tax increment financing agreement for the Champions Mill Sports
Complex project resulted in an increase in property tax receipts. Increases in income taxes can be
attributed to economic expansion at the Hamilton Enterprise Park and due to the Spooky Nook Sports
complex.
A decrease in investment earnings can be attributed to a decrease in the fair value of investments. An
increase in miscellaneous revenue in the prior year due to refunds received from the Ohio Bureau of
Warker's Compensation resulted in a subsequent decrease in the current year.
A substantial increase in general government expense was due to multiple factors. The City contributed
approximately $4,000,000 to the Hamilton Community Improvement Corporation and the Hamilton
CORE Fund. In 2022 the City recognized a $3,500,000 claim payable to St. Clair Township due to a
settlement with the Township involving the annexation of property by the City from the Township.
An increase in basic utility services in the prior year due to infrastructure improvements at the Spooky
Nook Sports complex resulted in a subsequent decrease in basic utility services in 2022. Grant funding
received for new single family home construction contributed to an increase in community environment
expense.
An overall decrease in expenses in the prior year due to changes in the net pension and net OPEB
liabilities/asset contributed to increases in general government and security of persons expense in 2022.
The City receives an income tax, which is based on 2% of all salaries, wages, commissions and other
compensation and on net profits earned from residents and businesses located within the City.
Income taxes and property taxes made up 31°/o and 9%, respectively, of revenues for governmental
activities in 2022. The City's reliance upon tax revenues is demonstrated by the following graph
indicating 43°/o of total revenues from general tax revenues:

Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended December 31, 2022 Unaudited
Business-Type Activities
Net position of business-type activities increased$8,696,567. This represents a 3% change from the prior
year.
An increase in revenues can be attributed to increases in receipts in the gas and electric departments. Gas
revenues increased due to increased sales to City consumers as well as increased sales to the AMP
Fremont Energy Center. Additionally, the Gas Cost Recovery Rider decreased from a credit of$0.09 Ccf
to $0.05 Ccf.
Electric department receipts increased mostly due to insurance reimbursements received for damages at the
Greenup Hydroelectric Plant.
A substantial decrease in expenses across all four utilities in the prior year due to changes in the net
pension and net OPEB liabilities/asset resulted in a subsequent increase in expense in 2022.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY'S FUNDS
The City's governmental funds reported a combined fund balance of$95,836,188, which is an increase

year. An increase in intergovernmental revenues in the prior year due to funding received from the State

decrease in 2022. Increases in income taxes can be attributed to economic expansion at the Hamilton
Enterprise Park and due to the Spooky Nook Sports complex.

General Fund expenditures decreased $17,099,420, or approximately 40% from the prior year. An
increase in general government can mostly be attributed to grants made to the Hamilton Community
Improvement Corporation. A substantial decrease in security of persons and property was due to police
and fire wages and benefits being paid from the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds
(SLFRF)Fund.
Health Department Fund — The City's Health Department Fund remained stable, increasing from a
balance of$12,734 to $13,772. Public health expenditures of$1,061,662 were funded by grants, charges

Other Governmental Funds—The City's Other Governmental Funds reported an increase in fund balance
of$7,365,975, or 40%. An increase in intergovernmental revenues can be attributed to Ohio Department

in an increase in expenditures for capital outlay.
Also contributing to increases in intergovernmental revenues were HOME Program grants received for
new single family housing construction, which resulted in increased community environment
expenditures.

income taxes. Final estimated receipts and actual budget basis receipts were not materially different. Final
appropriations were 31% less than original estimates and actual budget basis expenditures were 9% less

ECONOMIC FACTORS
The City's Budget and Financial Policies Resolution R2012-6-25 requires the maintenance of a minimum
General Fund Balance (reserve) of 10-16% of budgeted expenditures. Per this resolution, if the General
Fund reserve rises above 16°/o of General Fund revenues at the fiscal year-end,the amount over 16% may
be swept into an Economic Budget Stabilization Fund,which can be expended only through special action
by City CounciL The 2022 unencumbered General Fund cash was $9,994,206 (non-GAAP), or 18.56°/o
of 2022 qualifying General Fund revenues.
In 2022, the City received the second half of the American Rescue and Recovery Plan Act(ARPA) funds,
over $16.7 million, and was able to reimburse public safety salaries totaling $25.09 million in 2022. The
City was also fortunate that income tax receipts were up 11.17%, or $3,533,687 (all funds) over 2021.
The City used a combination of ARPA funds and fund balance to make several strategic expenditures to
invest in the City's future. The City budgeted $4.0 million for the construction of a new Fire Station 26,
$2.2 million for stormwater system improvements, and approximately $8.0 million (in addition to debt
proceeds of$23 million) for the construction of a new criminal justice center. The balance in the City's
Economic Budget Stabilization fund was $4,200,000 at December 31,2022.
The GFOA recommends governments adopt rigorous policies for all operating funds in order to achieve
and maintain a structurally balanced budget. The policy should include parameters for achieving and
maintaining structural balance where recurring revenues are equal to or greater than recurring
expenditures in the adopted budget. City Council Resolution 2012-6-25 sets forth these policies. The
2023 General Fund Adopted Budget is structurally balanced and the first quarter of 2023 has started out
strong.
The Spooky Nook Sports Champion Mill project, led by Manheim, PA-based Spooky Nook Sports LLC,
opened for business in 2022. The complex includes the largest indoor sports complex in North America, a
fitness center, hotel, restaurants,brewery, and the second largest convention space in southwest Ohio. 80
Acres, a vertical organic farming company, officially opened its enormous $30 million-plus indoor
farming complex in Hamilton's Enterprise Park. Hamilton is also home to the corporate headquarters of
80 Acres and Infinite Acres located in downtown Hamilton.

To The Statement of Activities
For The Year Ended December 31, 2022
Net Change in Fund Balances-Total Governmental Funds $ 19,042,502
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of
activities are different because
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However,in the
statement of activities,the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated
useful lives as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which capital outlay
exceeded depreciation in the current period.
Capital Outlay 20,805,025
Depreciation Expense (4,617,936) 16,187,089
Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial
resources are not reported as revenues in the funds. 332,023
Contractually required contributions are reported as expenditures in
governmental funds;however,the statement of net position reports
these amounts as deferred outflows:
Pension 5,511,439
OPEB 99,435 5,610,874
Except for amounts reported as deferred inflows/outflows,changes in the
net pension and OPEB liabilities/assets are reported as pension/OPEB expense
in the statement of activities:
Pension (2,572,731)
OPEB 888,773 (1,683,958)
The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to governmental
funds,however,has no effect on net position.
Installment Loan Issued (150,561)
Lease Issuance (356,509)
Ohio Water Development Authority Loan Issuance (564,711) (1,071,781)
Repayment of bond and loan principal is an expenditure in the governmental
funds,but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the statement of net position.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended December 31, 2022
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements are presented as of December 31, 2022 and for the year then ended and have
been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to local
governments. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board(the "GASB") is the standard-setting body
for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles, which are primarily set forth
in the GASB's Codification of Governmental Accountine and Financial Reportin� Standards (GASB
Codification).
A. Reportin�Entity
The City of Hamilton, Ohio (the City) is a home rule municipal corporation created under the
auspices of the laws and constitution of the State of Ohio. The origins of the City date back as
early as 179L In 1803, the State of Ohio officially created Butler County and named the City as
the county seat in 1810. Hamilton operates under a city charter adopted November 2, 1926 which
became effective on January l, 1928. The current charter, as amended,was adopted November 7,
2000 and became effective on January 1, 2001.
A seven-member council elected by voters of the City governs the City. The Mayor, who is
separately elected, is recognized as the official head of the City for all ceremonial purposes. The
City also elects a municipal court judge (the Judge) to preside over the proceedings of the
Hamilton Municipal Court. The Judge is elected to a six-year term.
The City Council appoints the City Manager who serves as Chief Executive Officer and Director
of Public Safety. He is charged with the proper administration of all city affairs. The City
Manager appoints all Directors and the Deputy City Manager-Operations, to whom the various
utility systems' directors report. The City Manager also appoints the Finance Director, who acts
as the Chief Financial Officer, as well as, the Directors of Law, Planning, Economic
Development, Public Works, Health, Information Technology, the Chiefs of Police and Fire, and
the Directors of the Electric and Gas and Water Utilities. Ultimately, the City Manager retains
the power to appoint and remove all department heads, subordinate staff and employees and
exercises control over all departments.
The services provided under the direction of the City Manager as delegated to each of the
subordinate Directors and their departments comprise the primary government unit of the City.
They have therefore been included as part of the reporting entity. The funds, agencies, boards
and commissions that are a part of the primary government include the following services:
operation of a municipal court, police and fire protection, health, parks and recreation, street
maintenance, and other governmental services. In addition, the City owns and operates a gas
distribution system, electric generation facilities and distribution system, a water treatment and
distribution system, a wastewater treatment and collection system, all of which are reported as
enterprise funds (business type-major). The City also operates parking facilities, athletic facilities,
and two golf courses,which are reported as special revenue funds (governmental—non-major).

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
A. Reportin�Entity(Continued)
The reporting entity is composed of the primary government, component units and other
organizations. The primary government includes all funds, organizations, activities and
component units for which the City (the primary government) is financially accountable and that
are not legally separate.
Component units are legally separate organizations for which the City is �nancially accountable.
The City is financially accountable for an organization if it appoints a voting maj ority of the
organization's governing board and either (1) the City is able to significantly influence the
programs or services performed or provided by the organization, or(2) the City is legally entitled
to or can otherwise access the organization's resources; the City is legally obligated or has
otherwise assumed the responsibility to finance the deficits of or provide financial support to the
organization; or the City is obligated for the debt of the organization. Component units may also
include organizations that are fiscally dependent on the City in that the City approves the budget,
the issuance of debt, or the levying of taxes. The City reports one blended component unit and
one discretely presented component unit.
Blended Com�onent Unit - The City of Hamilton Health Department (the "Health Department")
is a blended component unit of the City. The constitution and laws of the State of Ohio establish
the rights and privileges of the Health Department as a body corporate and politic. A six-member
Board and a Health Commissioner govern the Health Department. The Health Department's
services include communicable disease investigations, immunization clinics, and inspections, and
the Health Department issues health-related licenses and permits. Although it is legally separate
from the City, the Health Department is reported as if it were part of the primary government due
to the fact that the City manager appoints the members of the Board, the City provides operating
support and approves the budget, and any debt of the Health Department is expected to be repaid
entirely or almost entirely with resources of the City. Complete financial statements can be
obtained from the City of Hamilton Department of Finance.
Discretelv P�'esented Com�onent Unit - The component unit column on the government-wide
financial statements includes the financial data of the City's discretely presented component unit,
the Hamilton Community Authority(the "Authority").
The Authority is a community authority created pursuant to Chapter 349 of the Ohio Revised
Code. The City of Hamilton, Ohio (the "Developer") filed a petition (the "Petition") for creation
of the Authority with the Clerk of Council of the City of Hamilton, Ohio, and the petition was
accepted by Ordinance No. OR2017-5-62 of the City Council on May 24, 2017. The Petition,
which may be subject to amendment or change, defines the boundaries of the Authority and
allows the Authority to finance the costs of publicly owned and operated improvements and
community facilities with Community Development Charges.
By its Ordinance, the City of Hamilton determined the Authority would be conducive to the
public health, safety, convenience and welfare, and that it was intended to result in the
development of a new community authority as described in the Ohio Revised Code. The
Authority thereby was organized as a body corporate and politic in the State.

A. Reportin�Entitv(Continued)
By law, the Authority is governed by a seven-member board of trustees. At inception, the City
Council of the City of Hamilton, Ohio appointed four of the trustees and the remaining three
trustees were appointed by the Developer. The Authority is included as a component unit of the
City due to the fact that the City appoints a voting maj ority of the Authority board, and the City
can impose its will on the Authority by influencing the projects and activities of the Authority.
Complete financial statements can be obtained from the City of Hamilton Department of Finance.
See note 21.
The City participates in four governmental joint ventures: three Hamilton-Indian Springs Joint
Economic Development Districts (JEDD), the Ohio Municipal Electric Generation Agency
(OMEGA) JV2, and the Meldahl Hydroelectric Project. The City also participates in the
following jointly governed organizations: American Municipal Power (AMP) Inc., the
Transportation Improvement District (TID) of Butler County, the Butler County Emergency
Management Agency (EMA), the Hamilton Community Improvement Corporation (CIC), the
Hamilton Economic Development Corporation (HEDC), and the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana
Regional Council of Governments (OKI). These organizations are presented in Note 18 and Note
19 to the basic financial statements and are excluded from the accompanying �nancial statements
except as noted.
As a custodian of public funds, the City invests all public monies held on deposit in the City
Treasury. In the case of the Hamilton-Indian Springs Joint Economic Development Districts (the
"JEDD"), a legally separate district, the City serves as fiscal agent but the organization is not
considered a part of the City. The JEDD has a five-member board of trustees for which the City
appoints one member and for which the City is not financially accountable. The JEDD was
formed under the auspices of Ohio Revised Code Charter 715 to facilitate commercial and
economic development within a specific territory completely located within the boundaries of
then Indian Springs, now Fairfield Township. The JEDD has levied an income tax equal to the
income tax rate charged within the City of Hamilton (2%) on all compensation earned by
employees working in the JEDD. Income tax collections net of collection expenses and refunds
are first applied to District operating expenses in accordance with the District's Budget, then to
any long-term maintenance set aside, with any surplus to be paid to Hamilton and Fairfield
Township according to contractual percentages. The JEDD is a joint venture of the City,which is
more fully explained in Note 18 to the basic financial statements. Accordingly, the activity of the
JEDD is presented as a custodial fund(fiduciary)within the City's financial statements.

B.Basis of Presentation-Fund Accountin�
The accounting policies and financial reporting practices of the City conform to generally
accepted accounting principles as applicable to governmental units. The following is a summary
of its significant accounting policies:
The accounting system is organized and operated on the basis of funds, each of which is
considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a
separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, deferred
outflows/inflows of resources, fund equity, revenues and expenditures (expenses). The following
fund types are used by the City:
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are those funds through which most governmental functions are typically
�nanced. The acquisition, use and balances of the City's expendable financial resources and the
related current liabilities (except those accounted for in the proprietary funds) are accounted for
through governmental funds. The measurement focus is upon determination of"financial flow"
(sources, uses and balances of financial resources). The following are the City's major
governmental funds:
General Fund- This fund is used to account for all financial resources except those accounted for
in another fund. The general fund balance is available to the City for any purpose provided it is
expended or transferred according to the generallaws of Ohio.
Health Department Fund- This fund is used to account for the activities of the health department,
which are funded by contributions from the general fund, charges for services, and grants.
Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recover Funds SLFRF Fund- To account for Coronavirus
State and Local Fiscal Recovery funds received as part of the American Rescue Plan Act. The
funds are to be used to support the response and recovery from the COVID-19 public health
emergency.
Hamilton Capital Improvement Fund - This fund is used to account for revenue from one-fourth
of one percent(.25%) of the City income tax receipts. Funds are to be used for capital acquisition
for Police, Fire, Public Works, Parks and Recreation and Public Health. Funds may also be used
to retire outstanding General Obligation Bonds and Notes issued for capital acquisition.
Criminal Justice Center Construction Fund - This fund is used to account for debt proceeds and
other sources to be used for construction of a new justice center, which will house the police
department and municipal court.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
B.Basis of Presentation-Fund Accountin�(Continued)
Proprietary Funds
All proprietary funds are accounted for on an "economic resources" measurement focus. This
measurement focus provides that all assets, liabilities, and deferred outflows/inflows of resources
associated with the operation of these funds are included on the balance sheet. Proprietary fund
type operating statements present increases (i.e., revenues) and decreases (i.e., expenses) in net
position.
Enterprise Funds - These funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated
in a manner similar to private business enterprises, where the intent of the governing body is that
the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public
on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges. The City's major
enterprise funds are:
Gas Fund—To account for the operation of the City's gas service.
Electric Fund—To account for the operation of the City's electric service.
Water Fund—To account for the operation of the City's water system.
Wastewater Fund—To account for the operation of the City's wastewater system.
Internal Service Funds—These funds are used to account for fleet management services and costs
of certain goods or services provided to other departments or agencies of the City.
Fiduciary Funds
Fiduciary fund reporting focuses on net position and changes in net position. The fiduciary fund
category is split into four classifications: custodial funds, pension trust funds, investment trust
funds, and private-purpose trust funds. The City has six custodial funds. The Rounding Up Utility
Account Fund is used to account for voluntary contributions from citizens and/or organizations
within the City to assist elderly, needy and disabled utility customers with utility charges
incurred. The Butler County Annexation Tax Fund is used to account for income taxes obtained
from a special annexation of contiguous property to Hamilton. The Joint Economic Development
District (JEDD) Fund is used to account for the receipt and disbursement of income tax revenue
pursuant to Section 11 of the Joint Economic Development District Agreement with Indian
Springs/Fairfield Township, the 2004 Joint Economic Development District Agreement with
Indian Springs/Fairfield Township, and Section 5 of the 2017 amendment to the Hamilton-Indian
Springs Joint Economic Development District Contract with Fairfield Township. The Municipal
Court Fund accounts for funds that flow through the municipal court office. The Property
Assessed Clean Energy Fund accounts for special assessments collected and remitted to the
Hamilton Community Authority.

Fiduciary Funds(Continued)
The Police Property Room Fund is used to account for the receipt of items remaining in the
custody of the police department(the City will hold the items for a certain period of time at which
they will be auctioned or disposed). Trust funds are used to account for assets held under a trust
agreement for individuals, private organizations, or other governments and are therefore not
available to support the City's own programs. The City currently has no trust funds.
C. Basis of Presentation—Financial Statements
Government-wide Financial Statements — The statement of net position and the statement of
activities display information about the City as a whole. These statements include the financial
activities of the primary government, except for fiduciary funds. The statements distinguish
between those activities of the City that are governmental and those that are considered business-
type activities. In order to avoid distorting the measurement of the cost of individual functional
activities, entries are made to eliminate the activity provided by the internal service funds to those
funds considered governmental and those considered business-type. These balances appear as
internal balances on the statement of net position. Interfund receivables and payables between
governmental and business-type activities have been eliminated in the government-wide
Statement of Net Position. These eliminations minimize the duplicating effect on assets and
liabilities within the governmental and business-type activities total column. Interfund services
provided and used are not eliminated in the process of consolidation.
The government-wide statements are prepared using the economic resources measurement focus.
This is the same approach used in the preparation of the proprietary fund financial statements but
differs from the manner in which governmental fund �nancial statements are prepared.
Governmental fund financial statements therefore include a reconciliation with brief explanations
to better identify the relationship between the government-wide statements and the statements for
governmental funds.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended December 31, 2022
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
C. Basis of Presentation—Financial Statements (Continued)
The government-wide statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and
program revenues for each segment of the business-type activities of the City and for each
function or program of the City's governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are
specifically associated with a service,program or department and therefore clearly identifiable to
a particular function. Program revenues include charges paid by the recipient of the goods or
services offered by the program and grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the
operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Revenues which are not classified as
program revenues are presented as general revenues of the City, with certain limited exceptions.
The comparison of direct expenses with program revenues identifies the extent to which each
business segment or governmental function is self-financing or draws from the general revenues
of the City.
Fund Financial Statements — Fund financial statements report detailed information about the
City. The focus of governmental fund financial statements is on major funds rather than reporting
funds by type. Each major fund is presented in a separate column. Nonmajor funds are aggregated
and presented in a single column. Fiduciary funds are reported by fund type.
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its
measurement focus. All governmental fund types are accounted for using a flow of current
financial resources measurement focus. The financial statements for governmental funds are a
balance sheet, which generally includes only current assets, current liabilities, deferred
outflows/inflows of resources, and a statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund
balances, which reports on the sources (i.e., revenues and other financing sources) and uses (i.e.,
expenditures and other�nancing uses) of current financial resources.
Proprietary and fiduciary fund types are accounted for on a flow of economic resources
measurement focus. With this measurement focus, all assets, liabilities, and deferred
outflows/inflows of resources associated with the operation of these funds are included on the
statement of net position. The statement of changes in fund net position presents increases (i.e.,
revenues) and decreases (i.e., expenses) in net position. The statement of cash flows provides
information about how the City finances and meets the cash flow needs of its proprietary
activities.
D. Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting represents the methodology utilized in the recognition of revenues and
expenditures or expenses in the accounts and reported in the financial statements, and relates to
the timing of the measurements made. The accounting and reporting treatment applied to a fund
is determined by its measurement focus.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended December 31, 2022
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
D. Basis of Accounting(Continued)
The modified accrual basis of accounting is followed by the governmental funds. Under the
modified accrual basis of accounting,revenues are recorded when susceptible to accrual,i.e.,both
measurable and available. The term "available" means collectible within the current period or
soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period, which for the City is 60
days after year end. Expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the fund
liability is incurred, if ineasurable, except for unmatured interest on general long-term debt which
is recognized when due.
Non-exchange transactions, in which the City receives value without directly giving equal value
in return, include income taxes, property taxes, grants, entitlements and donations. Revenue from
income taxes is recognized in the period in which the income is earned and is available. Revenue
from grants, entitlements and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility
requirements have been satisfied and the revenue is available. Eligibility requirements include
timing requirements, which specify the year when the resources are required to be used or the
year when use is first permitted, matching requirements, in which the City must provide local
resources to be used for a speci�c purpose, and expenditure requirements, in which the resources
are provided to the City on a reimbursement basis.
Revenue considered susceptible to accrual at year end includes income taxes, interest on
investments and state levied locally shared taxes (including motor vehicle license fees and local
government assistance). Licenses,permits, charges for services and other miscellaneous revenues
are recorded as revenue when received in cash because generally this revenue is not measurable
until received.
Special assessment installments including related accrued interest, which are measurable but not
available at December 31, 2022, are recorded as deferred inflows of resources. Property taxes,
which are measurable at December 31, 2022 but are not intended to finance 2022 operations, and
delinquent property taxes whose availability is indeterminate, are recorded as deferred inflows of
resources. Property taxes are further described in Note 5.
The accrual basis of accounting is utilized for reporting purposes by the government-wide
financial statements, proprietary funds, and custodial funds. Revenues are recognized when they
are earned and expenses recognized when incurred.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
E.Budgetary Process
The budgetary process is prescribed by provisions of the Ohio Revised Code and entails the
preparation of budgetary documents within an established timetable. The major documents
prepared are the tax budget, the certificate of estimated resources and the appropriation
ordinance, all of which are prepared on the budgetary basis of accounting. The certificate of
estimated resources and the appropriation ordinance are subject to amendment throughout the
year.
All funds other than custodial funds are legally required to be budgeted and appropriated;
however, only governmental funds are required to be reported. The primary level of budgetary
control is at the fund, department and object level. Budgetary modifications may be made only
by ordinance of the City Council.
L Tax Bud�et
The Director of Finance submits an annual tax budget for the following fiscal year to City
Council by July 15 for consideration and passage. The adopted budget is submitted to the County
Auditor, as Secretary of the County Budget Commission, by July 20 of each year for the period
January 1 to December 31 of the following year.
2. Estimated Resources
The County Budget Commission reviews estimated revenue and determines if the budget
substantiates a need to levy all or part of previously authorized taxes. The Budget Commission
then certifies its actions to the City by September 1 of each year. As part of the certification
process, the City receives an official certificate of estimated resources stating the projected
receipts by fund. Prior to December 31, the City must revise its budget so that the total
contemplated expenditures from any fund during the ensuing �scal year do not exceed the
amount available as stated in the certificate of estimated resources. The revised budget then
serves as the basis for the annual appropriations measure. On or about January 1, the certificate
of estimated resources is amended to include any unencumbered fund balances from the
preceding year. The certificate may be further amended during the year if a new source of
revenue is identified or if actual receipts exceed current estimates. The amounts reported on the
budgetary statements reflect the amounts in the final amended official certificate of estimated
resources issued during 2022.

E.Budgetary Process (Continued)
3. A�propriations
As required by charter, an annual appropriation ordinance must be adopted prior to the beginning
of the fiscal year. The appropriation ordinance establishes spending controls at the fund,
department and object level, the legal level of control. The appropriation ordinance may be
amended during the year as additional information becomes available, provided that total fund
appropriations do not exceed the current estimated resources as certified by the County Budget
Commission. During the year, several supplemental appropriations were necessary to budget
contingency funds, intergovernmental grants and proceeds of debt issues. The allocation of
appropriations among departments and objects within a fund may be modi�ed during the year by
management. Administrative control is maintained through the establishment of more detailed
line-item budgets. The budgetary figures which appear in the "Statement of Revenues,
Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances--Budget and Actual for the General Fund and Major
Special Revenue Funds" are provided on the budgetary basis to provide a comparison of actual
results with the final budget, including all amendments and modifications.
4. Encumbrance
As part of formal budgetary controls, purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for
expenditures are encumbered and recorded as the equivalent of expenditures (budget basis) in
order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation. However, on the GAAP basis of
accounting, encumbrances do not constitute expenditures or liabilities.
5. Lapsin_ o�f A�propriations
At the close of each fiscal year, the unencumbered balance of each appropriation reverts to the
respective fund from which it was appropriated and becomes subject to future appropriations.
The encumbered appropriation balance is carried forward to the subsequent fiscal year and need
not be reappropriated.
6. Budgetary Basis of Accounting
The City's budgetary process accounts for the City's transactions on a basis other than generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The major differences between the budgetary basis and
the GAAP basis lie in the manner in which revenues and expenditures are recorded. Under the
budgetary basis, revenues and expenditures are recognized on the cash basis. Utilizing the cash
basis, revenues are recorded when received in cash and expenditures when paid. Under the
GAAP basis,revenues and expenditures are recorded on the modified accrual basis of accounting.
Encumbrances are recorded as the equivalent of expenditures on the budgetary basis.

Cash and cash equivalents include amounts in demand deposits, the State Treasury Asset Reserve
(STAR Ohio) and short-term securities with original maturities of three months or less. STAR
Ohio is considered a cash equivalent because it is a highly liquid investment. See Note 4, "Cash,
Cash Equivalents and Investments."

For the Year Ended December 31, 2022
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
G.Investments
Investment procedures and interest allocations are restricted by provisions of the Ohio
Constitution and the Ohio Revised Code. The City allocates interest among certain funds based
upon the fund's cash balance at the date of investment. In accordance with GASB Statement No.
31, "Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment
Pools" and GASB Statement No. 72, "Fair T�alue Measurement and Application," the City
records all its investments at fair value except for nonparticipating investment contracts which are
reported at cost, which approximates fair value. All investment income, including changes in the
fair value of investments, is recognized as revenue in the operating statements.
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by
generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to
measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets. Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant
unobservable inputs. See Note 4, "Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments".
The City's investment in the State Treasury Asset Reserve of Ohio (STAR Ohio) is an investment
pool managed by the State Treasurer's Office which allows governments within the State to pool
their funds for investment purposes. STAR Ohio is not registered with the SEC as an investment
company and is recognized as an external investment pool by the City. The City measures their
investment in STAR Ohio at the net asset value (NAV) per share provided by STAR Ohio. The
NAV per share is calculated on an amortized cost basis that provides a NAV per share that
approximates fair value. For fiscal year 2022, there were no limitations or restrictions on any
participant withdrawals due to redemption notice periods, liquidity fees, or redemption gates.
However, notice must be given 24 hours in advance of all deposits and withdrawals exceeding
$100 million. STAR Ohio reserves the right to limit the transaction to $250 million,requiring the
excess amount to be transacted the following business day(s), but only to the $250 million limit.
All accounts of the participant will be combined for these purposes.
H. Inventory
Inventories are stated at moving average cost. The costs of governmental fund inventories are
recorded as expenditures when purchased rather than when consumed. The costs of proprietary
fund inventories are recorded as expenses when consumed rather than when purchased.
L Prepaid Items
Payments made to vendors for services that will benefit periods beyond December 31, 2022, are
recorded as prepaid items using the consumption method. A current asset for the prepaid amount
is recorded at the time of the purchase and an expenditure/expense is reported in the year in
which services are consumed.

J. Capital Assets and Depreciation
Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than
$10,000.
1. Propert�Plant and Equipment-Governmental Activities
Governmental activities capital assets are those not directly related to the business type funds.
These generally are acquired or constructed for governmental activities and are recorded as
expenditures in the governmental funds and are capitalized at cost(or estimated historical cost for
assets not purchased in recent years). These assets are reported in the Governmental Activities
column of the Government-wide Statement of Net Position, but they are not reported in the Fund
Financial Statements.
Contributed capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date received. Capital assets
include land, buildings, building improvements, machinery, equipment and infrastructure.
Infrastructure is defined as long-lived capital assets that normally are stationary in nature and
normally can be preserved for a significant number of years. Examples of infrastructure include
roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems and lighting systems.
Estimated historical costs for governmental activities capital asset values were initially
determined by identifying historical costs when such information was available. In cases where
information supporting original cost was not obtainable, estimated historical costs were
developed. For certain capital assets, the estimates were arrived at by indexing estimated current
costs back to the estimated year of acquisition. Leased assets are measured at the present value of
lease payments expected to be made during the lease term.
2. Propert�Plant and Equipment—Business Type Activities
Property, plant and equipment acquired by the proprietary funds are stated at cost (or estimated
historical cost), including interest capitalized during construction and architectural and
engineering fees where applicable. Contributed capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at
the date received. These assets are reported in both the Business-Type Activities column of the
Government-wide Statement of Net Position and in the respective funds. Leased assets are
measured at the present value of lease payments expected to be made during the lease term.
3. Depreciation
All capital assets are depreciated, excluding land and construction in progress. Depreciation has
been provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Governmental and
Business-Type Activities
Description Estimated Lives (in years)
Buildings 40
Improvements Other than Buildings 40
Machinery, Equipment,Furniture and Fixtures 5 — 10
Infrastructure 25—75
Intangible Assets—FERC License 50

L. Compensated Absences
Employees of the City earn vacation leave at various rates within limits specified under collective
bargaining agreements or under ordinance. Vacation earned in a calendar year must be used
during that year. Vacation time cannot carry over into the subsequent year, unless written
permission is granted from the City Manager. At termination or retirement, employees are paid at
their then full rate for 100°/o of their unused vacation leave.
The rate of cash compensation for sick leave payout varies within specified limits under
collective bargaining agreements or City ordinance. Employees hired before 1990 are paid 75%
of the accumulated sick time upon retirement or death up to a maximum of 1,200 hours for
employees whose normal wark schedule is 40 hours per week, and up to 1,680 hours for those
working a 51 hour week. Those individuals that commenced employment on or after January 1,
1990, will be paid 50%, and those individuals that commenced employment on or after January 1,
1994 will be paid 25% of the accumulated sick leave upon death or retirement. Compensation for
sick leave is paid at the employee's then full rate of pay at the time of termination or retirement.

For the Year Ended December 31, 2022
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
L. Compensated Absences (Continued)
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 16, "Accounting for Compensated Absences," the City
records a liability for vacation time and sick leave when the obligation is attributable to services
previously rendered or to rights that vest or accumulate, and when payment of the obligation is
probable and can be reasonably determined. For governmental funds, compensated absences are
recognized as liabilities and expenditures to the extent payments come due each period upon the
occurrence of employee resignations and retirements. For governmental funds, the portion of
unpaid compensated absences expected to be paid using expendable, available resources is
reported as an expenditure in the fund from which the individual earning the leave is paid, and a
corresponding liability is reflected in the account "Compensated Absences Payable." The
long-term portion of the liability is reported in the Government-wide Statements under Long-term
Liabilities.
M.Net Position
Net position represents the difference between assets,liabilities, and deferred outflows/inflows of
resources. Net investment in capital assets consists of capital assets, net of accumulated
depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowings used for the acquisition,
construction or improvement of those assets. Net position is reported as restricted when there are
limitations imposed on use either through the enabling legislation adopted by the City or through
external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors or laws or regulations of other governments.
The City applies restricted resources when an expense is incurred for purposes for which both
restricted and unrestricted net position is available.
N. Pension/OPEB
The provision for pension/OPEB cost is recorded when the related payroll is accrued and the
obligation is incurred. For purposes of ineasuring the net pension and OPEB liability/asset,
deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions/OPEB, and
pension/OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the pension/OPEB plans
and additions to/deductions from their fiduciary net position have been determined on the same
basis as they are reported by the pension/OPEB systems. For this purpose, benefit payments
(including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in
accordance with the benefit terms. The pension/OPEB systems report investments at fair value.
O. Interfund Activity
Exchange transactions between funds are reported as revenues in the seller funds and as
expenditures/expenses in the purchaser funds. Flows of cash or goods from one fund to another
without a requirement for repayment are reported as interfund transfers. Interfund transfers are
reported as other financing sources/uses in governmental funds and after nonoperating
revenues/expenses in proprietary funds. Repayments from funds responsible for particular
expenditures/expenses to the funds that initially paid for them are not presented on the financial
statements. In order to avoid distorting the measurement of the cost of individual functional
activities, entries are made to eliminate the activity provided by the internal service funds to those
funds considered governmental and those considered business-type. The elimination of the
internal service funds is based on the activity of each fund to which it provides service.

P.Fund Balances
In the fund financial statements, fund balance for governmental funds is reported in
classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound
to honor constraints on the specific purpose for which amounts in the funds can be spent. Fund
balance is reported in five components — nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned and
unassigned.
Nonspendable—Nonspendable fund balance includes amounts that cannot be spent because they
are either not in spendable form or legally contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted— Restricted fund balance consists of amounts that have constraints placed on them
either externally by third parties (creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other
governments) or by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Enabling
legislation authorizes the City to assess, levy, charge or otherwise mandate payment of resources
(from external resource providers) and includes a legally enforceable requirement (compelled by
external parties) that those resources be used only for the specific purposes stipulated in the
legislation.
Committed — Committed fund balance consists of amounts that can only be used for specific
purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the City's highest level of decision
making authority. For the City, these constraints consist of ordinances passed by City Council.
Committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City removes or changes the
specified use by taking the same type of action (ordinance) it employed previously to commit
those amounts.
Assigned—Assigned fund balance consists of amounts that are constrained by the City's intent to
be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. The City has no formal
policy authorizing a body or official to assign amounts for specific purposes.
Unassigned — Unassigned fund balance consists of amounts that have not been restricted,
committed or assigned to specific purposes within the General Fund as well as negative fund
balances in all other governmental funds.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to use
restricted resources first, then unrestricted (committed, assigned and unassigned) resources as
they are needed.
In 2012, City Council enacted Budget and Financial Policies (R2012-6-25), which requires the
maintenance of a minimum General Fund Balance (reserve) of 10-16% of annual expenditures. If
the General Fund reserve rises above 16% of General Fund revenue at fiscal year end, the amount
over 16°/o will be swept into the Economic Development Capital Projects Fund and/or the
Economic Budget Stabilization Fund, which can be expended only through special action by City
Council. At December 31, 2022, the balance in the Economic Budget Stabilization Fund was
$4,200,000 and is reported in unassigned fund balance.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
Q. Restricted Assets
Certain proceeds of enterprise fund revenue bonds, as well as certain resources set aside far their
repayment, are classified as restricted assets on the statement of net position because their use is
limited to debt service payments and rate stabilization. Restricted cash in the General Fund
represents resources set aside for the payment of health insurance claims, as well as amounts set
aside pursuant to the Champions Mill Inter-creditor Agreement.
R. Operating Revenues and Expenses
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items.
Operating revenues are those revenues that are generated directly from the primary activity of the
proprietary funds. For the City, these revenues are charges for services for gas and electric
service, water treatment and distribution and wastewater collection and treatment. Operating
expenses are necessary costs incurred to provide the good or service that is the primary activity of
the fund. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating
revenues and expenses.
S. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those
estimates.
T.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 assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not
be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The City reports
deferred outflows for the deferred charge on debt refunding and for deferred pension/OPEB
amounts. The deferred charge on debt refunding is reported in the government-wide statement of
net position and proprietary funds statement of net position. A deferred charge on refunding
results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This
amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.
Deferred outflows of resources are reported for pension/OPEB amounts on the government-wide
and proprietary funds statement of net position. See Notes 10 and 11.
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 assets that applies to a future period(s) and
so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources until that time. On the government-wide
statement of net position and governmental funds balance sheet, property taxes that are intended
to finance future fiscal periods are reported as deferred inflows.

For the Year Ended December 31, 2022
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
T.Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources(Continued)
In addition, the governmental funds balance sheet reports deferred inflows which arise only under
a modified accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, the item, unavailable amounts, is reported
only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable
amounts for delinquent property taxes, income taxes, special assessments, and state levied shared
taxes. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the
amounts become available. Deferred inflows are also reported on the government-wide and fund
financial statements for lease receivable amounts to be received in future years. Deferred inflows
of resources related to pension/OPEB are reported on the government-wide and proprietary funds
statement of net position. See Notes 10 and 11.
U. Leases Receivable
Lease receivables are measured at the present value of lease payments expected to be received
during the lease term, reduced by any provision for estimated uncollectible amounts. Deferred
inflows of resources related to lease receivables are recorded initially as equal to the amount of
the initial measurement of the lease receivable and subsequently recognized as revenue in a
systematic and rational manner over the term of the lease.

Fund Balance/
Fund Net Position Deficit
Nonmajor Governmental Funds
Capital Projects Funds:
Special Assessment Fund $2,000,434
Internal Service Funds
Fleet Maintenance 1,223,011
Central Services 4,199,437
The deficit occurring in the Special Assessment Fund is due to interfund payables reported in the fund. As
cash is received and the payables liquidated,the deficits will be eliminated.
The deficits in the Fleet Maintenance Fund and Central Services Fund have occurred due to recognition of
liabilities at year-end. The Internal Service Funds operate as a rotary fund and cash is recognized as
revenue operationally only after an actual expense is made. These deficits will be eliminated by future
charges for services. A portion of these deficits are the result of accounting for the net pension/OPEB
liability for which there is no repayment schedule.
NOTE 4 -CASH,CASH EQUIVALENTS,AND INVESTMENTS
Cash resources of several individual funds are combined to form a pool of cash and investments. In
addition, investments are separately held by a number of individual funds.
Statutes require the classification of funds held by the City into three categories:
Category 1 consists of"active" funds - those funds required to be kept in "cash" or "near cash" status for
immediate use by the City. Such funds must be maintained either as cash in the City Treasury or in
depository accounts payable or withdrawable on demand, including negotiable order of withdrawal
(NOW) accounts.
Category 2 consists of "inactive" funds - those funds not required for use within the current five year
period of designation of depositories. Inactive funds may be deposited or invested only as certificates of
deposit maturing no later than the end of the current period of designation of depositories.

Category 3 consists of"interim° funds - those funds not needed for immediate use but needed before the
end of the current period of designation of depositories. Interim funds may be invested or deposited in
the following securities:
• United States treasury notes, bills, bonds, or any other obligation or security issued by
the United States treasury or any other obligation guaranteed as to principal or interest
by the United States;
• Bonds, notes, debentures, or any other obligations or securities issued by any federal
government agency or instrumentality, including but not limited to, the federal national

government agencies or instrumentalities;
• Written repurchase agreements in the securities listed above provided that the fair value
of the securities subject to the repurchase agreement must exceed the principal value of
the agreement by at least two percent and be marked to market daily, and that the term

Custodial Credit Risk
The risk that, in the event of a failure of a counter party, the City will not be able to recover the
value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The
City employs the use of"safekeeping" accounts to hold and maintain custody of its investments
as identified within this policy and as a means of mitigating this risk.

B. Investments (Continued)
Interest Rate Risk
The risk that the City will incur fair value losses arising from rising interest rates. Such risk is
mitigated by the investment policy by limiting investments to certain maximum maturities. As a
rule, unless specified otherwise within the policy,investments are to have a maximum maturity of
five years unless the investment is matched to a specific expenditure. The context of a specific
investment purchase must be weighed in proportion to the remainder of the existing investment
portfolio and the "prudent investor"rule to attempt to limit such risk.
Credit Risk
It is the City's policy to limit its investments that are not obligations of the U.S. Government or
obligations explicitly guaranteed by the U.S. Government to investments which have the highest
credit quality rating issued by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The City places no limit on the amount it may invest in any one issuer.
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by
generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to
measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient
frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Quoted prices are
available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Leve12 inputs
are significant other observable inputs. Investments classi�ed in Level 2 of the fair value
hierarchy are valued using a matrix pricing technique. Matrix pricing is used to value securities
based on the securities' relationship to benchmark quoted prices. Level 3 inputs are significant
unobservable inputs.
C. Bennin�hofen Trust
The Bennighofen Trust Fund reports the endowment bequeathed to the City from the estate of
Christian Benninghofen. The endowment is to be held permanently by the City and invested and
reinvested in bonds issued by the United States, the State of Ohio, or any County, as well as
municipal bonds issued by such subdivisions with the State of Ohio. Earnings from the
endowment are to be used for the purpose of assisting and aiding the needy poor of the City. The
City disburses earnings from the endowment quarterly.

NOTE 5 -TAXES
A. PropertV Taxes
Property taxes include amounts levied against real estate and public utility property located in the
City. Real property taxes (other than public utility) collected during 2022 were levied after
October 1, 2021 on assessed values as of January 1, 2021, the lien date. Assessed values were
established by the County Auditor at 35% of appraised market value. All property is required to
be reevaluated every six years and equalization adjustments made in the third year following the
reappraisal. The last revaluation was completed for tax year 2017. Real property taxes are payable
annually or semiannually. If paid annually, payment is due January 31; if paid semiannually, the
first payment is due February and the remainder payable in July. Under certain circumstances,
state statute permits later payment dates to be established.
Public utility real property taxes collected in one calendar year are levied in the preceding
calendar year on assessed values determined as of December 31 of the year preceding the tax
collection year, the lien date. Certain public utility tangible personal property is currently
assessed at 100°/o of its true value. Public utility property taxes are payable on the same dates as
real property described previously.
The County Treasurer collects property taxes on behalf of all taxing districts in the County
including the City of Hamilton. The County Auditor periodically remits to the City its portion of
the taxes collected.
The full tax rate for the City's operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $10.71 per
$1,000 of assessed value. The assessed value upon which the 2022 receipts were based was
$942,098,790. This amount constitutes $931,870,700 in real property assessed value and
$10,228,090 in public utility assessed value.
Ohio law prohibits taxation of property from all taxing authorities in excess of 1% of assessed
value without a vote of the people. Under current procedures, the City's share is 1.071% (10.71
mills) of assessed value.
Real Estate Tax Abatement
Pursuant to Ohio Revised Code Chapter 5709, the City established an Enterprise Zone Abatement
Program. The City authorizes incentives through passage of public ordinances, based upon each
businesses investment criteria and through a contractual application process with each business.
The abatement equals an agreed upon percentage of the additional property tax resulting from the
increase in assessed value as a result of the improvements. The amount of the abatement is
deducted from the recipient's property tax bi1L The establishment of the Enterprise Zone gave the
City the ability to maintain and expand business located within the City and created new jobs by
abating or reducing assessed valuation of properties, resulting in abated taxes, from new or
improved business real estate and includes major housing improvements in specified areas.

Income Tax Abatement
The City created the Job Creation and Tax Credit Program to maintain the City's competitiveness
as a site for location of new businesses and the expansion of existing businesses. Pursuant to
Ohio Revised Code 718 and the applicable City ordinance, the City provides an incentive to the
company based upon the company's gross annual payroll, the amount of income tax generated
annually and the number of jobs created or retained by the business. The abatement is
administered as a refund based upon the company's payroll taxes. The time period of the
incentive in years, is determined by how many new jobs are created by the company. The tax
abatement incentive to a new business or expanding business with new payroll is at a percentage
of up to 60% of income tax paid on new payroll for a period of 3 to 10 years.

NOTE 10—DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS
Net Pension Liabiliry
The net pension liability reported on the statement of net position represents a liability to employees for
pensions. Pensions are a component of exchange transactions--between an employer and its employees—
of salaries and benefits for employee services. Pensions are provided to an employee—on a deferred-
payment basis—as part of the total compensation package offered by an employer for employee services
each financial period. The obligation to sacrifice resources for pensions is a present obligation because it
was created as a result of employment exchanges that already have occurred.
The net pension liability represents the City's proportionate share of each pension plan's collective
actuarial present value of projected benefit payments attributable to past periods of service, net of each
pension plan's fiduciary net position. The net pension liability calculation is dependent on critical long-
term variables, including estimated average life expectancies, earnings on investments, cost of living
adjustments and others. While these estimates use the best information available, unknowable future
events require adjusting this estimate annually.
Ohio Revised Code limits the City's obligation for this liability to annually required payments. The City
cannot control benefit terms or the manner in which pensions are financed; however, the City does
receive the benefit of employees' services in exchange for compensation including pension.
GASB 68 assumes the liability is solely the obligation of the employer, because (1) they benefit from
employee services; and (2) State statute requires all funding to come from these employers. All
contributions to date have come solely from these employers (which also includes costs paid in the form
of withholdings from employees). State statute requires the pension plans to amortize unfunded liabilities
within 30 years. If the amortization period exceeds 30 years, each pension plan's board must propose
corrective action to the State legislature. Any resulting legislative change to benefits or funding could
significantly affect the net pension liability. Resulting adjustments to the net pension liability would be
effective when the changes are legally enforceable.
The proportionate share of each plan's unfunded benefits is presented as a long-term net pension liability
on the accrual basis of accounting. Any liability for the contractually-required pension contribution
outstanding at the end of the year is included in intergovernmental payable on both the accrual and
modified accrual bases of accounting.
Plan DescYiption—Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS)
Plan Description - City employees, other than full-time police and firefighters, participate in the Ohio
Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS). OPERS administers three separate pension plans. The
traditional pension plan is a cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan. The member-
directed plan is a defined contribution plan and the combined plan is a cost-sharing, multiple-employer
defined benefit pension plan with defined contribution features. While members (e.g. City employees)
may elect the member-directed plan and the combined plan, substantially all employee members are in
OPERS' traditional plan; therefore,the following disclosure focuses on the traditional pension plan.

NOTE 10—DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS (Continued)
OPERS provides retirement, disability, survivor and death benefits, and annual cost of living adjustments
to members of the traditional plan. Authority to establish and amend benefits is provided by Chapter 145
of the Ohio Revised Code. OPERS issues a stand-alone financial report that includes financial statements,
required supplementary information and detailed information about OPERS' fiduciary net position that
may be obtained by visiting https://www.opers.org/financial/reports.shtml, by writing to the Ohio Public
Employees Retirement System, 277 East Town Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215-4642, or by calling 800-

Senate Bill (SB) 343 was enacted into law with an effective date of January 7, 2013. In the legislation,
members were categorized into three groups with varying provisions of the law applicable to each group.
The following table provides age and service requirements for retirement and the retirement formula
applied to final average salary (FAS) for the three member groups under the traditional plan as per the
reduced benefits adopted by SB 343 (see OPERS Annual Comprehensive Financial Report referenced
above for additional information, including requirements for reduced and unreduced benefits):

for service years in excess of 30 for service years in excess of 30 for service years in excess of 35
Final average Salary (FAS)represents the average of the three highest years of earnings over a member's
career for Groups A and B. Group C is based on the average of the five highest years of earnings over a
member's career.
Members who retire before meeting the age and years of service credit requirement for unreduced
benefits receive a percentage reduction in the bene�t amount. The initial amount of a member's pension
benefit is vested upon receipt of the initial benefit payment for calculation of an annual cost-of-living
adjustment.
When a benefit recipient has received benefits for 12 months, an annual cost of living adjustment(COLA)
is provided. This COLA is calculated on the base retirement benefit at the date of retirement and is not
compounded. For those retiring prior to January 7, 2013, the COLA will continue to be a 3.00% simple
annual COLA. For those retiring subsequent to January 7, 2013, beginning in calendar year 2019, the
COLA will be based on the average percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index, capped at 3.00%.
Benefits in the Combined Plan consist of both an age-and-service formula benefit(defined benefit) and a
defined contribution element. The defined benefit element is calculated on the basis of age, FAS, and
years of service. Eligibility regarding age and years of service in the Combined Plan is the same as the
Traditional Pension Plan. The benefit formula for the defined benefit component of the plan for State
and Local members in transition Groups A and B applies a factor of 1.00% to the member's FAS for the
�rst 30 years of service.

NOTE 10—DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS (Continued)
A factor of 1.25% is applied to years of service in excess of 30. The benefit formula for transition Group
C applies a factor of 1.0% to the member's FAS and the first 35 years of service and a factor of 1.25% is
applied to years in excess of 35. Persons retiring before age 65 with less than 30 years of service credit
receive a percentage reduction in benefit. The defined contribution portion of the benefit is based on
accumulated member contributions plus or minus any investment gains or losses on those contributions.
Defined contribution plan benefits are established in the plan documents, which may be amended by the
OPERS's Board of Trustees. Member-Directed Plan and Combined Plan members who have met the
retirement eligibility requirements may apply for retirement benefits. The amount available for defined
contribution benefits in the Combined Plan consists of the member's contributions plus or minus the
investment gains or losses resulting from the member's investment selections. Combined plan members
wishing to receive benefits must meet the requirements for both the defined benefit and defined
contribution plans. Member-directed participants must have attained the age of 55,have money on deposit
in the defined contribution plan and have terminated public service to apply for retirement benefits. The
amount available for defined contribution benefits in the Member-Directed Plan consists of the members'
contributions, vested employer contributions and investment gains or losses resulting from the members'
investment selections. Employer contributions and associated investment earnings vest over a five-year
period, at a rate of 20% each year. At retirement, members may select one of several distribution options
for payment of the vested balance in their individual OPERS accounts. Options include the annuitization
of the benefit (which includes joint and survivor options), partial lump-sum payments (subject to
limitations), a rollover of the vested account balance to another financial institution, receipt of entire

annuitize their defined contribution benefit, the annuitized portion of the benefit is reclassified to a

Plan DescYiption—Ohio Police& Fire Pension Fund(OPP)
Plan Description - City full-time police and itrefighters participate in Ohio Police and Fire Pension Fund
(OPF), a cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan administered by OPF. OPF
provides retirement and disability pension benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits
to plan members and beneficiaries. Benefit provisions are established by the Ohio State Legislature and
are codified in Chapter 742 of the Ohio Revised Code. OPF issues a publicly available financial report
that includes financial information and required supplementary information and detailed information
about OPF fiduciary net position. The report that may be obtained by visiting the OPF website at
www.op-f•org or by writing to the Ohio Police and Fire Pension Fund, 140 East Town Street, Columbus,
Ohio 43215-5164.
Upon attaining a qualifying age with sufficient years of service, a member of OPF inay retire and receive
a lifetime monthly pension. OPF offers four types of service retirement: normal, service commuted,
age/service commuted and actuarially reduced. Each type has different eligibility guidelines and is
calculated using the member's average annual salary. The following discussion of the pension formula
relates to normal service retirement.
For members hired after July 1, 2013, the minimum retirement age is 52 for normal service retirement
with at least 25 years of service credit. For members hired on or before July 1, 2013, the minimum
retirement age is 48 for normal service retirement with at least 25 years of service credit.
The annual pension benefit for normal service retirement is equal to a percentage of the allowable average
annual salary. The percentage equals 2.5 percent for each of the first 20 years of service credit, 2.0
percent for each of the next five years of service credit and 1.5 percent for each year of service credit in
excess of 25 years. The maximum pension of 72 percent of the allowable average annual salary is paid
after 33 years of service credit. (see OP&F Annual Comprehensive Financial Report referenced above for
additional information, including requirements for Deferred Retirement Option Plan provisions and
reduced and unreduced benefits).
Under normal service retirement, retired members who are at least 55 years old and have been receiving
OPF benefits for at least one year may be eligible for a cost-of-living allowance adjustment. The age 55
provision for receiving a COLA does not apply to those who are receiving a permanent and total
disability benefit and statutory survivors. Members participating in the DROP program have separate
eligibility requirements related to COLA.
Members retiring under normal service retirement, with less than 15 years of service credit on July 1,
2013, will receive a COLA equal to either 3.00% or the percent increase, if any, in the consumer price
index (CPI) over the 12-month period ending on September 30 of the immediately preceding year,
whichever is less. The COLA amount for members with at least 15 years of service credit as of July 1,
2013 is equal to 3.00% of their base pension or disability benefit.
Members who retired prior to July 24, 1986,or their surviving beneficiaries under optional plans are
entitled to cost-of-living allowance increases. The annual increase is paid on July 1 st of each year. The
annual COLA increase is $360 under a Single Life Annuity Plan with proportional reductions for optional
payment plans.

ActuaYial Assumptions—OPF
OPF's total pension liability as of December 31, 2021 is based on the results of an actuarial valuation date
of January 1, 2021, and rolled-forward using generally accepted actuarial procedures. The total pension
liability is determined by OPF's actuaries in accordance with GASB Statement No. 67, as part of their
annual valuation. Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of reported amounts and
assumptions about probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions
about future employment mortality, salary increases, disabilities, retirements and employment
terminations. Actuarially determined amounts are subject to continual review and potential modifications,
as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future.
Assumptions considered were: withdrawal rates, disability retirement, service retirement, DROP
elections, mortality, percent married and forms of the payment, DROP interest rate, CPI-based COLA,
investment returns, salary increases and payroll growth.

The most recent experience study was completed for the five year period ended December 31, 2016.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block
approach and assumes a time horizon, as defined in the Statement of Investment Policy. A forecasted rate
of inflation serves as the baseline for the return expectation. Various real return premiums over the
baseline inflation rate have been established for each asset class. The long-term expected nominal rate of
return has been determined by calculating a weighted averaged of the expected real return premiums for
each asset class, adding the projected inflation rate and adding the expected return from rebalancing
uncorrelated asset classes.
Best estimates of the long-term expected geometric real rates of return for each major asset class included
in OPF's target asset allocation as of December 31, 2021 are summarized below:

OPF's Board of Trustees has incorporated the "risk parity" concept into OPF's asset liability valuation
with the goal of reducing equity risk exposure, which reduces overall Total Portfolio risk without
sacrificing return, and creating a more risk-balanced portfolio based on their relationship between asset
classes and economic environments. From the notional portfolio perspective above, the Total Portfolio
may be levered up to 1.25 times due to the application of leverage in certain fixed income asset classes.

The discount rate used for 2020 was 8.00 percent. The projection of cash flows used to determine the
discount rate assumed the contributions from employers and from the members would be computed based

Net OPEB Liability(Asset)
The net OPEB liability(asset)reported on the statement of net position represents a liability to employees
for OPEB. OPEB is a component of exchange transactions--between an employer and its employees—of
salaries and benefits for employee services. OPEB are provided to an employee—on a deferred-payment
basis—as part of the total compensation package offered by an employer for employee services each
�nancial period. The obligation to sacrifice resources for OPEB is a present obligation because it was
created as a result of employment exchanges that already have occurred.
The net OPEB liability (asset) represents the City's proportionate share of each OPEB plan's collective
actuarial present value of projected benefit payments attributable to past periods of service, net of each
OPEB plan's fiduciary net position. The net OPEB liability (asset) calculation is dependent on critical
long-term variables, including estimated average life expectancies, earnings on investments, cost of living
adjustments and others. While these estimates use the best information available, unknowable future
events require adjusting these estimates annually.
Ohio Revised Code limits the City's obligation for this liability to annually required payments. The City
cannot control benefit terms or the manner in which OPEB are financed; however, the City does receive
the benefit of employees' services in exchange for compensation including OPEB.
GASB 75 assumes the liability is solely the obligation of the employer, because they benefit from
employee services. OPEB contributions come from these employers and health care plan enrollees which
pay a portion of the health care costs in the form of a monthly premium. The Ohio revised Code permits,
but does not require the retirement systems to provide healthcare to eligible benefit recipients. Any
change to benefits or funding could significantly affect the net OPEB liability (asset). Resulting
adjustments to the net OPEB liability(asset)would be effective when the changes are legally enforceable.
The retirement systems may allocate a portion of the employer contributions to provide for these OPEB
benefits.
The proportionate share of each plan's unfunded benefits is presented as a long-term net OPEB liability
(asset) on the accrual basis of accounting. Any liability for the contractually-required OPEB contribution
outstanding at the end of the year is included in intergovernmental payable on both the accrual and
modified accrual bases of accounting.

Plan Description —Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS)
Plan Description - The Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS) administers three separate
pension plans: the traditional pension plan, a cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit pension
plan; the member-directed plan, a defined contribution plan; and the combined plan, a cost-sharing,
multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan that has elements of both a defined benefit and defined
contribution plan.
OPERS maintains a cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit post-employment health care trust,
which funds multiple health care plans including medical coverage, prescription drug coverage and
deposits to a Health Reimbursement Arrangement to qualifying benefit recipients of both the traditional
pension and the combined plans. This trust is also used to fund health care for member-directed plan
participants, in the form of a Retiree Medical Account(RMA). At retirement or refund, member directed
plan participants may be eligible for reimbursement of qualified medical expenses from their vested RMA
balance.
Currently, Medicare-eligible retirees are able to select medical and prescription drug plans from a range of
options and may elect optional vision and dental plans. Retirees and eligible dependents enrolled in
Medicare Parts A and B have the option to enroll in a Medicare supplemental plan with the assistance of the
OPERS Medicare Connector. The OPERS Medicare Connector is a relationship with a vendor selected by
OPERS to assist retirees, spouses and dependents with selecting a medical and pharmacy plan. Monthly
allowances,based on years of service and the age at which the retiree first enrolled in OPERS coverage, are
deposited into an HRA. For non-Medicare retirees and eligible dependents, OPERS sponsors medical and
prescription coverage through a professionally managed self-insured plan. An allowance to offset a portion
of the monthly premium is offered to retirees and eligible dependents. The allowance is based on the
retiree's years of service and age when they first enrolled in OPERS coverage.
Medicare-eligible retirees who choose to become re-employed or survivors who become employed in an
OPERS-covered position are prohibited from participating in an HRA. For this group of retirees, OPERS
sponsors secondary coverage through a professionally managed self-insured program. Retirees who enroll
in this plan are provided with a monthly allowance to offset a portion of the monthly premium. Medicare-
eligible spouses and dependents can also enroll in this plan as long as the retiree is enrolled.
OPERS provides a monthly allowance for health care coverage for eligible retirees and their eligible
dependents. The base allowance is determined by OPERS.
Effective January 1, 2022, OPERS will discontinue the group plans currently offered to non-Medicare
retirees and re-employed retirees. Instead, eligible non-Medicare retirees will select an individual medical
plan. OPERS will provide a subsidy or allowance via an HRA allowance to those retirees who meet
health care eligibility requirements. Retirees will be able to seek reimbursement for plan premiums and
other qualified medical expenses. These changes are reflected in the December 31, 2020, measurement
date health care valuation.

In order to qualify for postemployment health care coverage, age and service retirees under the traditional
pension and combined plans must have 20 or more years of qualifying Ohio service credit with a
minimum age of 60, or generally 30 years of qualifying service at any age. Health care coverage for
disability benefit recipients and qualified survivor benefit recipients is available. The health care
coverage provided by OPERS meets the definition of an Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB) as
described in GASB Statement 75. Current retirees eligible (or who become eligible prior to January l,
2022) to participate in the OPERS health care program will continue to be eligible after January 1, 2022.
Eligibility requirements wi11 change for those retiring after January 1, 2022, with differing eligibility
requirements for Medicare retirees and non-Medicare retirees. See OPERS' Annual Comprehensive
Financial Report referenced below for additional information.
The Ohio Revised Code permits,but does not require OPERS to provide health care to its eligible benefit
recipients. Authority to establish and amend health care coverage is provided to the Board in Chapter 145
of the Ohio Revised Code.
Disclosures for the health care plan are presented separately in the OPERS financial report. Interested
parties may obtain a copy by visiting https://www.opers.or,�/financial/reports.shtml, by writing to

7377.
Funding Policy - The Ohio Revised Code provides the statutory authority requiring public employers to
fund postemployment health care through their contributions to OPERS. When funding is approved by
OPERS' Board of Trustees, a portion of each employer's contribution to OPERS is set aside to fund
OPERS health care plans. Beginning in 2018, health care is not being funded.
Employer contribution rates are expressed as a percentage of the earnable salary of active members. In
2022, state and local employers contributed at a rate of 14.0 percent of earnable salary and public safety
and law enforcement employers contributed at 18.1 percent. These are the maximum employer
contribution rates permitted by the Ohio Revised Code. Active member contributions do not fund health
care.
Each year, the OPERS Board determines the portion of the employer contribution rate that will be set
aside to fund health care plans. The portion of employer contributions allocated to health care for
members in the Traditional Pension Plan and Combined Plan was 0 percent during calendar year 2022.
The OPERS Board is also authorized to establish rules for the retiree or their surviving beneficiaries to
pay a portion of the health care provided. Payment amounts vary depending on the number of covered
dependents and the coverage selected. The employer contribution as a percentage of covered payroll

Plan DescYiption—Ohio Police& Fire Pension Fund(OP&F)
Plan Description — The City contributes to the Ohio Police and Fire Pension Fund (OP&F) sponsored
healthcare program, a cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined post-employment health care plan
administered by a third-party provider. This program is not guaranteed and is subject to change at any
time upon action of the Board of Trustees. On January 1, 2019, OP&F implemented a new model for
health care. Under this new model, OP&F provides eligible retirees with a fixed stipend earmarked to
pay far health care and Medicare Part B reimbursements. OP&F contracted with a vendor who assists
eligible retirees in choosing health care plans that are available where they live (both Medicare-eligible
and pre-65 populations). A stipend funded by OP&F is available to these members through a Health
Reimbursement Arrangement and can be used to reimburse retirees for qualified health care expenses.
A retiree is eligible for the OP&F health care stipend unless they have access to any other group coverage
including employer and retirement coverage. The eligibility of spouses and dependent children could
increase the stipend amount. If the spouse or dependents have access to any other group coverage
including employer or retirement coverage, they are not eligible for stipend support from OP&F. Even if
an OP&F member or their dependents are not eligible for a stipend, they can use the services of the third-
party administrator to select and enroll in a p1an. The stipend provided by OP&F meets the definition of
an Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB) as described in Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB) Statement No. 75. OP&F inaintains funds for health care in two separate accounts: one account
for health care benefits and one account for Medicare Part B reimbursements. A separate health care trust
accrual account is maintained for health care benefits under IRS Code Section ll5 trust. IRS Code
Section 401(h) account is maintained for Medicare Part B reimbursements.
The Ohio Revised Code allows, but does not mandate, OP&F to provide OPEB benefits. Authority for
the OP&F Board of Trustees to provide health care coverage to eligible participants and to establish and
amend benefits is codified in Chapter 742 of the Ohio Revised Code.
OP&F issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial information and required
supplementary information for the plan. The report may be obtained by visiting the OP&F website at
www.op-f•or� or by writing to the Ohio Police and Fire Pension Fund, 140 East Town Street, Columbus,
Ohio 43215-5164.
Funding Policy — The Ohio Revised Code provides for contribution requirements of the participating
employers and of plan members to the OP&F defined benefit pension plan. Participating employers are
required to contribute to the pension plan at rates expressed as percentages of the payroll of active
pension plan members, currently 19.5 percent and 24 percent of covered payroll for police and fire
employer units, respectively. The Ohio Revised Code states that the employer contribution may not
exceed 19.5 percent of covered payroll for police employer units and 24 percent of covered payroll for
�re employer units. Active members do not make contributions to the OPEB Plan.

The Board of Trustees is authorized to allocate a portion of the total employer contributions made into the
pension plan to the Section 115 trust and the Section 401(h) account as the employer contribution for
retiree health care benefits. For 2022, the portion of employer contributions allocated to health care was
0.5 percent of covered payrolL The amount of employer contributions allocated to the health care plan
each year is subject to the Trustees' primary responsibility to ensure that pension benefits are adequately
funded and is limited by the provisions of Sections ll 5 and 401(h).
The OP&F Board of Trustees is also authorized to establish requirements for contributions to the health
care plan by retirees and their eligible dependents or their surviving beneficiaries. Payment amounts vary
depending on the number of covered dependents and the coverage selected.
The City's contractually required contribution to OP&F was $99,435 for 2022. Of this amount, $8,529 is
reported as an intergovernmental payable.
OPEB Liabilities (Asset), OPEB Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows

The long-term expected rate of return on health care investment assets was determined using a building-
block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return are developed for each
major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected real rate of return by
weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage, adjusted for
inflation.
The allocation of investment assets with the Health Care portfolio is approved by the Board of Trustees as
outlined in the annual investment plan. Assets are managed on a total return basis with a long-term
objective of continuing to offer a sustainable health care program for current and future retirees. OPERS'
primary goal is to achieve and maintain a fully funded status for the benefits provided through the defined
pension plans. Health care is a discretionary benefit. Best estimates of arithmetic rates of return were
provided by OPERS investment consultant. For each major asset class that is included in the Health
Care's portfolio's target asset allocation as of December 31, 2021, these best estimates are summarized in
the following table:
Weighted Average

Total 100.00 % 3.45 °/o
Discount Rate A single discount rate of 6.00 percent was used to measure the OPEB liability on the
measurement date of December 31, 2021. A single discount rate of 6.00 percent was used to measure
the OPEB liability on the measurement date of December 31, 2020. Projected benefit payments are
required to be discounted to their actuarial present value using a single discount rate that reflects (1) a
long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments (to the extent that the health care fiduciary
net position is projected to be sufficient to pay benefits), and (2) tax-exempt municipal bond rate based
on an index of 20-year general obligation bonds with an average AA credit rating as of the
measurement date (to the extent that the contributions for use with the long-term expected rate are not
met). This single discount rate was based on an expected rate of return on the health care investment
portfolio of 6.00 percent and a municipal bond rate of L84 percent (Fidelity Index's "20-Year
Municipal GO AA Index").

The projection of cash flows used to determine this single discount rate assumed that employer
contributions will be made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rate. Based on these
assumptions, the health care fiduciary net position and future contributions were sufficient to finance
health care costs through 2121. As a result, the long-term expected rate of return on health care
investments was applied to projected costs through the year 2121, the duration of the projection period
through which projected health care payments are fully funded.
Sensitivity of the City's Proportionate Share of the Net OPEB Liability (Asset) to Changes in the

Sensitivity of the City's Proportionate Share of the Net OPEB Liability (Asset) to Changes in the
Health Care Cost Trend Rate Changes in the health care cost trend rate may also have a significant
impact on the net OPEB liability (asset). The following table presents the net OPEB liability (asset)
calculated using the assumed trend rates and the expected net OPEB liability (asset) if it were calculated
using a health care cost trend rate that is 1.0 percent lower or 1.0 percent higher than the current rate.
Retiree health care valuations use a health care cost-trend assumption that changes over several years
built into the assumption. The near-term rates reflect increases in the current cost of health care; the trend
starting in 2022 is 5.50 percent. If this trend continues for future years, the projection indicates that years
from now virtually all expenditures will be for health care. A more reasonable alternative is that in the
not-too-distant future,the health plan cost trend will decrease to a level at, or near,wage inflation. On this
basis, the actuaries project premium rate increases will continue to exceed wage inflation for
approximately the next decade, but by less each year, until leveling off at an ultimate rate, assumed to be
3.50 percent in the most recent valuation.

Actuarial Assumptions—OP&F
OP&F's total OPEB liability as of December 31, 2021, is based on the results of an actuarial valuation
date of January 1, 2021, and rolled-forward using generally accepted actuarial procedures. The total
OPEB liability is determined by OP&F's actuaries in accordance with GASB Statement No. 74, as part of
their annual valuation. Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of reported amounts and
assumptions about probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions
about future employment mortality, salary increases, disabilities, retirements and employment
terminations. Actuarially determined amounts are subject to continual review and potential modifications,
as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future.
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as
understood by the employers and plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of
each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing benefit costs between the employers and plan
members to that point. The projection of benefits for financial reporting purposes does not explicitly
incorporate the potential effects of legal ar contractual funding limitations.
Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective. For a newly hired employee, actuarial calculations
will take into account the employee's entire career with the employer and also take into consideration the
benefits, if any,paid to the employee after termination of employment until the death of the employee and
any applicable contingent annuitant. In many cases, actuarial calculations reflect several decades of
service with the employer and the payment of benefits after termination.
Key methods and assumptions used in the latest actuarial valuation, reflecting experience study results,
are presented below.

The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was determined using a building-block
approach and assumes a time horizon, as defined in the Statement of Investment Policy. A forecasted rate
of inflation serves as the baseline for the return expected. Various real return premiums over the baseline
inflation rate have been established for each asset class. The long-term expected nominal rate of return
has been determined by calculating a weighted averaged of the expected real return premiums for each
asset class, adding the projected inflation rate and adding the expected return from rebalancing
uncorrelated asset classes. Best estimates of the long-term expected geometric real rates of return for each
major asset class included in OP&F's target asset allocation as of December 31, 2021, are summarized

Note:Assumptions are geometric
OP&F's Board of Trustees has incorporated the risk parity concept into OP&F's asset liability valuation
with the goal of reducing equity risk exposure, which reduces overall Total Portfolio risk without
sacrificing return, and creating a more risk-balanced portfolio based on their relationship between asset
classes and economic environments. From the notional portfolio perspective above, the Total Portfolio
may be levered up to 1.25 times due to the application of leverage in certain fixed income asset classes.
Discount Rate For 2021, the total OPEB liability was calculated using the discount rate of 2.84 percent.
For 2020, the total OPEB liability was calculated using the discount rate of 2.96 percent. The projection
of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed the contribution from employers and from
members would be computed based on contribution requirements as stipulated by State statute. Projected
inflows from investment earnings were calculated using the longer-term assumed investment rate of
return of 7.50 percent. Based on those assumptions, OP&F's fiduciary net position was projected to not
be able to make all future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, a municipal bond rate of
2.05 percent at December 31, 2021 and 212 percent at December 31, 2020, was blended with the long-
term rate of 7.50 percent, which resulted in a blended discount rate of 2.84 percent for 2021 and 2.96
percent for 2020. The municipal bond rate was determined using the Bond Buyers General Obligation 20-
year Municipal Bond Index Rate. The OPEB plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to
make all projected OPEB payments until 2037. The long-term expected rate of return on health care
investments was applied to projected costs through 2037, and the municipal bond rate was applied to all
health care costs after that date.

B. Retiree Life Insurance Plan
Total OPEB Liability
The Total OPEB liability reported for Retiree Life Insurance on the statement of net position represents a
liability to employees for OPEB. OPEB is a component of exchange transactions--between an employer
and its employees—of salaries and benefits for employee services. OPEB are provided to an employee—
on a deferred-payment basis—as part of the total compensation package offered by an employer for
employee services each financial period. The obligation to sacrifice resources for OPEB is a present
obligation because it was created as a result of employment exchanges that already have occurred.
Plan DescYiption
Plan Description — The City provides life insurance benefits to individuals who retire from the City
through a single-employer OPEB plan which is administered by Hartford Life Insurance Company. The
retiree must have a minimum of ten consecutive years of continuous service with the City, must have
been associated with the City for at least five of the last ten years prior to retirement and must have
participated in the employee group life insurance program to and at the time of retirement. The retiree
must be immediately eligible at the time of separation for full retirement or disability retirement benefits
under the Public Employees Retirement System, Ohio Police and Fire Pension Fund, or other retirement
system.
Employees who retired prior to March 1, 1977 are eligible to receive $2,000 in life insurance benefits.
Employees who retired after March 1, 1977 are eligible to receive $4,000 in life insurance benefits.
Benefit provisions of the plan are established and may be amended by City Council through ordinance.
Funding Policy— Annual contributions to the plan represent actual contractual contributions required to
cover the cost of the life insurance premiums. The City's contractually required contribution was $89,880
for 2022.
At December 31, 2022 the number of active participants was 607 and the number of retirees was 676.
The City's Retiree Life Insurance plan has no assets.

NOTE 11 -DEFINED BENEFIT OPEB PLANS (Continued)
B. Retiree Life Insurance Plan (Continued)
ActuaYial Assumptions
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the values of reported amounts and
assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include
assumptions about future employment, mortality, and cost trends. Actuarially determined amounts are
subject to continual review or modification as actual results are compared with past expectations and new
estimates are made about the future.
The total OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of December 31, 2022. The actuarial
valuation used the following actuarial assumptions applied to all prior periods included in the
measurement in accordance with the requirements of GASB 74:
Single Discount Rate:
Current measurement date 4.00 percent
Prior Measurement date 1.80 percent
Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Normal
Martality Rates:
Non-Disabled Pub-2010 General/Public Safety
Retired Pub-2010 General Retiree
Disabled Pub-2010 General Disabled Retiree
Weighting Headcount-weighted
Future Improvement Projected generationally using Scale MP-2021
The most recent experience study was completed for the five year period ended December 31, 2018.
Discount Rate A single discount rate of 4.00 percent was used to measure the total OPEB liability on
the measurement date of December 31, 2022. A single discount rate of 1.80 percent was used to
measure the total OPEB liability on the measurement date of December 31, 2021. Because the Retiree
Life Insurance Plan is not funded, the discount rate is based on a 20-year tax exempt municipal bond
rate based on published indices.
Sensitivity of the total OPEB Liability to Changes in the Discount Rate The following table presents the
Retiree Life Insurance Plan total OPEB liability calculated using the single discount rate of 4.00 percent,
as well as what the total OPEB liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is one-
percentage-point lower(3.00 percent) or one-percentage-point higher(5.00 percent)than the current rate:
Current

twenty years from the date of issuance of the original notes. The maximum maturity for notes
anticipating general obligation bonds payable from special assessments is five years. Any period in
excess of five years must be deducted from the permitted maximum maturity of the bonds anticipated,
and portions of the principal amount of notes outstanding for more than five years must be retired in
amounts at least equal to and payable no later than those principal maturities required if the bonds had
been issued at the expiration of the initial five year period. Bond anticipation notes may be retired at

A. Self-Insurance
Medical coverage is offered to employees through a self-funded insurance plan. The plan is
offered to local governments state-wide through the Jefferson Health Plan (JHP) in Steubenville,
Ohio and administered by United Healthcare of Ohio.
The City participates in the plan and makes payment to the Risk Management Agency based on
actuarial estimates of the amounts needed to pay claims and actual amounts needed to pay �xed
costs (premiums for stop-loss coverage and medical conversion and administrative fees and
services). The claims liability of$1,259,703 reported in the General Fund at December 31, 2022
is based on the requirements of GASB Statement No. 10, which requires that a liability for claims
be reported if information prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is
probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of
the loss can be reasonably estimated. This amount is non-discounted and is based upon historical
claims experience. Changes in the claims liability in 2021 and 2022 was as follows:

B.BWC Group Retrospective Rating Program
The City participates in the Ohio BWC Group Retrospective Rating Program. The Group
Retrospective Rating Program is a performance-based incentive program designed to recover a
portion of premium for employers that reduce injury rates and lower associated claims
costs. Group retrospective rating member employers initially pay their individual experience rated
premium to the BWC as if they were not in a retro group. The total of the individual premiums
for the group members is the "standard premium" of the group. 12 months after the end of the
policy year, the BWC will calculate the group retrospective premium, based upon developed
incurred claim losses of the entire group. The BWC will then compare the group retrospective
premium to the standard premium. If the retrospective premium is lower than the standard
premium, group members will receive a rebate of the difference. If the retrospective premium is
higher, each group member will be charged an assessment to cover the shortfalL This calculation
is done again at 24 and 36 months, providing a financial incentive for group members to
continuously work on safety and claims management.

C. BWC Individual Retrospective Rating Program
In prior years the City was enrolled in the Ohio BWC's Individual Retrospective Rating
program. Each retrospective rated policy year carries a 10 year liability period. The Individual
Retrospective Rating provided the City with an up-front premium discount in exchange for

policy year. There is a maximum per claim limit and an aggregate policy limit in Retrospective
Rating. For 2022 Hamilton's per claim limit is $200,000 and its aggregate policy limit is 150% of
the standard premium(i.e.,premium before the Individual Retrospective Rating discount and less

NOTE 17—CONTINGENCIES
A. Litigation
Various claims and lawsuits are pending against the City. The City believes that the ultimate
disposition of such claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the City's
financial position.
B.Federal and State Grants
For the period January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022, the City received federal and state grants
for specific purposes that are subject to review and audit by grantor agencies or their designee.
Such audits could lead to a request for reimbursement to the grantor agency for expenditures
disallowed under the terms of the grant. Based on prior experience, the City believes such
disallowance, if any,would be immaterial.
C.Asset Retirement Obligations
GASB Statement No. 83 "Certain Asset Retirement Obligations" establishes criteria for
determining the recognition of a liability for an Asset Retirement Obligation(ARO). An ARO is a
legally enforceable liability associated with the retirement of a tangible capital asset. Recognition
of the ARO occurs when the liability is both incurred and reasonably estimable. An ARO is
incurred based on external laws,regulations, or contracts.
Ohio Revised Code Section 61ll.44 requires the City to submit any changes to their sewage
treatment system to the Ohio EPA for approval. Through this permitting process, the City would
be responsible to address any public safety issues associated with their sewage treatment facilities
and the permit would specify the procedures required to dispose of all or part of the sewage
treatment plant. At this time, the City does not have an approved permit from the Ohio EPA to
dispose of all or part of their sewage treatment plants. Due to the lack of specific legal
requirements for retiring the sewage treatment plants, the City has determined that the amount of
the Asset Retirement Obligation cannot be reasonably estimated.
The City's licenses with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for operation of the Greenup
Hydroelectric Plant on the Ohio River and the City of Hamilton Hydroelectric Plant on the Great
Miami River state that, upon retirement of the facility, the Commission may require the City to
remove any or all structures, equipment, and power lines within the project boundary and take
any such other action necessary to restore the project waters, lands, and facilities remaining. At
this time, the City has no plans of retiring these plants and therefore is unable to know what the
Commission's requirements would be. Due to the lack of specific license requirements for the
retiring of the hydroelectric plants, the City has determined that the amount of the Asset
Retirement Obligation cannot be reasonably estimated.

NOTE 18—JOINT VENTURES
The City of Hamilton is a member of a number of Governmental Joint Ventures as described in GASB
Statement No. 6L The following is a list of organizations and a brief description of each Joint Venture.
A. Hamilton-Indian Springs Joint Economic Development Districts
In 1996, the Hamilton-Indian Springs Joint Economic Development District (JEDD) between the
City of Hamilton and Fairfield Township was approved by Fairfield Township voters. It set aside
over 200 acres of prime land, zoned for business and industrial, to be serviced jointly as specified
in the contract and marketed for commercial/industrial development. The original JEDD
authorized a 2% earnings tax on all business within its boundaries, of which 75% flows to the
City and 25°/o flows to the Township. One stipulation of the JEDD agreement is that the City of
Hamilton will not annex any township land for the 30-year term of the contract. In exchange, 12
acres of county-owned land on the boundary between Hamilton and the Township was transferred
to the City. The JEDD contains Menards, which opened in 2011, a home improvement chain
store with locations throughout the Midwestern United States. Construction was completed on a
new Hobby Lobby store in 2015 and Discount Tire and AAA Storage opened for business during
2016. An amendment to the JEDD was approved in August 2004 to add over 100 acres of retail
development. This amendment reversed the collection percentage of the entities (75% for
Fairfield Township and 25°/o for the City) for this section of land. To date, the development in
the JEDD areas has proceeded at a strong pace. A number of projects and developments have
occurred within all phases of the JEDD, including several banks and restaurants, as well as stores
such as Wal-Mart, Target, Dick's, Best Buy, JC Penney, Staples and a variety of other retail
establishments. The interchange was upgraded and the State Route 4 By-Pass was widened to
provide improved access to the JEDD. Due to this JEDD's location around the interchange of
State Route 129 and the State Route 4 By-Pass, additional retail and commercial development is
expected to continue at this location into the future.
In April 2017, a second amendment to the JEDD was approved to add approximately 184 acres.
Income tax collections in this area are distributed 50°/o to the City of Hamilton and 50% to
Fairfield Township. The land comprising the JEDD around the intersection of Gilmore Road and
Hamilton Mason Road includes an assisted living facility operated by StoryPoint Senior Living
on about 15 acres of the land.
During 2022, the City's distribution of tax collections for the Hamilton-Indian Springs Joint
Economic Development District totaled$751,351.
B.American Municipal Power(AMP)—OMEGA JV2 Proiect

The purpose of the joint venture is to create distributive generation among the participating
members allowing for increased electric production capacity during peak demand. The degree of
control exercised by any participating member is weighted in proportion to each participanYs
project share, which is 23.87% for the City (a non-majority voting position). Project share is
equal to the amount of distributive generation capacity for each of the members. Membership in
the joint venture is defined as financing or non-financing participant, as well as an owner or
purchasing participant, for which the City qualifies as a financing, purchasing participant. As a
�nancing purchasing participant, the City makes payments to OMEGA JV2.
The continued existence of OMEGA JV2 is dependent upon the City's continued participation,
but the City, as a financing purchasing participant, does not have an equity interest in OMEGA
JV2. Complete financial statements may be obtained from AMP, Inc., 1111 Schrock Road,

C. Meldahl Hydroelectric Proiect
AMP constructed a three-unit hydroelectric generation facility on the Captain Anthony Meldahl
Locks and Dam, an existing dam, on the Ohio River, constructed by the United States Army
Corps of Engineers and of related equipment and associated transmission facilities (the "Meldahl
Project"). Now that the Meldahl Project has entered commercial operation, it has a generating
capacity of approximately 105 MW. The City of Hamilton and AMP hold, as co-licensees, the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission license to operate the Meldahl Project.
The City of Hamilton has executed a take-or-pay power sales contract with AMP for a Project
Share of 54MW or 51.4°/o of capacity and associated energy from the Meldahl Project.
Pursuant to the various agreements between Hamilton and AMP,the Meldahl Project is owned by
Meldahl, LLC, a single member, Delaware not-for-profit limited liability company ("Meldahl,
LLC"). AMP is the sole member of Meldahl, LLC and appoints three members of its Board of
Directors (the Meldahl Board). AMP, acting as agent of Meldahl LLC, has financed the
development, acquisition, construction and equipping of the Meldahl Project. In order to finance
the construction of the Meldahl Project and related costs, in 2010 and 2011 AMP issued six series
of its Meldahl Hydroelectric Project Revenue Bonds (the "Meldahl Bonds") in the amount of
$685,100,000 consisting of taxable, tax-exempt and tax advantaged obligations (Build America
Bonds, Clean Renewable Energy Bonds and New Clean Renewable Energy Bonds). The Meldahl
Bonds are secured by a master trust indenture and payable from amounts received by AMP under
a take-or-pay power sales contract with 48 of its Members. The Meldahl Project entered
commercial operation on April 12, 2016.
