May 23, 2014  The Honorable Chairman and Board of Commissioners Greater Rockford Airport Authority 60 Airport Drive Rockford, IL  61109  Dear Mr. Chairman and Commissioners:    Respectfully  presented  is  the  annual  budget  of  the Greater  Rockford  Airport  Authority  (Authority)  as approved by  the Board of Commissioners May 22, 2014. The Authority operates  the Chicago Rockford International Airport (RFD).    The budget  includes plans and  resources  to move  toward  the  strategic goals.   This  includes  continued efforts to grow passengers, work to develop underutilized areas of the airport and make the RFD cargo capabilities known across the globe.    The  capital budget  includes  funds  for  significant  infrastructure upgrades  to  support  the expansion and growth of aviation development.   Passenger retention and development is also a key part of the FY2015 plan.    The budget strategically directs the allocation of resources to best enable the Authority to operate RFD in a manner that exceeds customer expectations and meets all safety and security requirements.    It funds operations,  activities,  infrastructure,  equipment  and  technology  enhancements  to meet  the  strategic goals of the Authority for the next year and into the future.   Budget Objectives  The  Authority’s  goals  for  the  FYE15  budget  are  to  allocate  available  resources  to  RFD  programs  and services to:  Operate a safe and secure airport.  Meet all regulatory, legal and contractual requirements.  Continue to exceed expectations to the customers of RFD with exceptional customer service and 

care.  Operate an efficient and financially self‐sustaining organization.  Provide the necessary resources to accomplish the Authority’s strategic plan. 

 The budget objectives are further broken down within each of the departmental and capital budgets for the year.

Overview and Economic Conditions  The Authority is one of the oldest airport authorities in the United States. Formed in 1946, subsequent to enabling  legislation,  the  Authority  has  four  communities  who  appoint  a  seven‐member  Board  of Commissioners. The Board of Commissioners is responsible for setting policies and ordinances governing the operations of the Authority, which are carried out or enforced by a professional staff.   We have unrestricted airspace and a seven day 24 hour FAA Air Traffic Control Tower. RFD is a world‐class airport capable of landing any aircraft in Category II/III conditions.   RFD  is a United States Customs Port of Entry and grantee of Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) #176. The diverse activities  at  RFD  cause  it  to  have  a  greater  economic  impact  on  the  region  it  serves  than  any  other commercial service airport in the State of Illinois, excluding the City of Chicago's airport system.    RFD is located in the southwest quadrant of Rockford, Illinois with easy access from five major highways.  It  is  located  approximately  85 miles  northwest  of  Chicago,  Illinois;  90 miles  southwest  of Milwaukee, Wisconsin;  60 miles  southwest  of Madison, Wisconsin;  90 miles  east of Dubuque,  Iowa;  and  90 miles northwest of Moline,  Illinois. The airport  covers an area of about 3,000 acres with 800 of  those acres airfield related. The market service area ranges from 2,500,000 people at 60 minutes to 8,400,000 people at 90 minutes. RFD is geographically centered within the region.  

  

The  economic  condition  and  outlook  for  the  region  has  improved  slightly  over  the  prior  year.  Employment needs are  increasing slowly, but greater than the needs  in the  last two prior years and the unemployment  rate  decreased  from  9.8%  to  9.1%.    The  region  continues  to  expand  and  diversify  its industrial base and employment opportunities.   The Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA)  is over 350,000 people and is the fastest growing MSA in the state of Illinois and has been for two consecutive years.  This growth  is expected to continue.   The region  is a community that still understands shift work and values companies  that  need  employees with  industrial  skills.   A  recent  study  by  The  Pathfinders  (Dallas,  TX) polled area employers on existing workforce characteristics, found that the labor‐shed actually consists of a  five‐county  region with  a  population  of  over  807,000  individuals  and  that  the workforce was  over 435,000 people.   This number  far exceeds  the  federal government’s assumption of a  two‐county MSA population of approximately 350,000 people and a labor force of about 175,000.  The region’s low cost of living and competitive wage rates benefit both employer and employee.

Overview and Economic Conditions(con’t)  Our region is considered an excellent location for logistics services, warehouses and distribution centers, aerospace, on and off  road  vehicle manufacturing,  industrial machinery, and metals manufacturing,  as well as back office operations/call centers, professional business services, food processing, and chemicals manufacturing.  The area lies in the heart of the Midwest at the crossroads of America and in very close proximity  to  Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison, Quad‐Cities,  and  Peoria.    As  part  of  the  Greater  Chicago region, Rockford  is part of the third‐largest multi‐modal system  in the world and the  largest  in  the U.S.  From the Rockford area, businesses can reach 80% of U.S. households within a 24‐hour truck drive.   The financial condition of the Authority is primarily dependent upon the amount of aircraft utilization at RFD.  That utilization, in turn, is dependent upon several factors:  the amount of cargo that is sorted at the United Parcel Service hub; the number of passenger airlines that service RFD; the number of passengers that use the airport; the national economy, which influences buying, and subsequent shipping habits; and, the regional economy that influences the willingness of the consumer to purchase air travel.  RFD  is  home  to  the  second  largest  air  hub  sorting  facility  in  United  Parcel  Service's  system.    Fees associated with cargo account for 36% of the operating revenue of the Authority.  The Authority is not immune to the global economic crisis and this year statistics and revenues reflect that impact.    The most  recent  FAA  cargo  reports  state  RFD  is  the  25th  largest  cargo  airport  in  the United States.   The annual  total of gross  landed weight  for all cargo aircraft  for  the year was down 3.40%.   A majority of  this was a  reduction  in  flights  for UPS during  the years, which are all domestic  flights.   The reduction was also a result of a limited number of charter cargo operations being less than in past years.  Since  all  of  our  cargo  operations  are  domestic,  our  strategic  plan  focuses  on  international  cargo  as  a growth area.  This will help mitigate some fluctuations.    Cargo is a leading economic indicator and we fully believe that as the economy begins to grow, so will our cargo activities.   The new  International Cargo apron and  facility can allow RFD  to compete globally and become one of the top cargo airports in the world.  It is estimated that RFD creates an economic impact approximately  $1  billion  annually  to  the  region.    Feeding  off  the  cargo  airlines  are  60 motor  freight carriers serving 37 terminals.  The goal of growth in international cargo at RFD is a paradigm shift for the movement of cargo  in the Midwest region of the United States.   FYE15 projects no  increase  in weights; however, an increase in rates will help offset the limited growth.

Passenger growth continues to be a high priority as outlined in the strategic plan.  As the volatility of the passenger airlines continues  it  is  important for RFD to diversify the base of airlines that operate at RFD.  Currently Allegiant Air offers service to Las Vegas, Orlando/Sanford, Clearwater/St Pete, Punta Gorda/Ft Myers, and Phoenix/Mesa.   Apple Vacations offers seasonal service  to Cancun, Punta Cana, and Puerto Vallarta.   Allegiant Air accounts for 80% of all seats currently available at RFD.    Our goal  is to  increase the number of passengers and airlines.   Economic  issues that are outside of our control  can have an effect on  this plan.   These  issues  include:  the  current  fuel price  rise,  the  financial condition of the airlines, and any security and safety mandates issued.  The Authority is mindful of these issues as  they plan  for  the  future.   The  last year has  seen dramatic changes  in our  regional and global economic  condition.    The  Authority  is making  every  effort  to  continue  to  build  and  grow  passenger service.   Even though capacity has not returned to  its previous  levels, our average  load factors are over 94%, so the demand is still there and the budget includes resources to continue marketing and developing the service.  New service will begin in January to Puerto Vallarta on a seasonal basis with Apple Vacations.  With these additions, RFD is projecting a 3% growth in passengers for the coming year.

The Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) program creates a partnership between American business and the Federal government, increasing the global market share of U.S. businesses and retaining or creating jobs at home.  The FTZ program fits the mission of the Authority to expand business opportunity, create jobs and assist local companies to compete more effectively in the global marketplace.  We believe that the FTZ can be a catalyst  to  improve  the  economic  and  business  climate  of  the  region.   Four  of  our  sites/subzones  are active Zone operators.  In 2010, FTZ #176 received reorganization approval from the FTZ Board under the new  Alternative  Site  Framework  (ASF)  system, which  provides  faster  and  cheaper  access  to  program benefits  for  potential  business  partners  in  the  first  quarter  of  the  fiscal  year.    Service  is  now  readily available to prospects in all of Boone, Ogle, Lee, Stephenson, Winnebago as well as parts of Bureau, Kane and McHenry Counties, most of LaSalle and part of Putnam County.     While the growth  in movement of products  through  FTZ  activated  sites  and  subzones  slowed  in  the  recessionary  economy,  leadership expects growth to reach $500 million within the next few years.   Interest in activation is growing, with 3‐4 additional applications anticipated during FYE15, with many more partners in the next two to three years.

History  Camp Grant In 1917, during World War  I, RFD,  then named  “Camp Grant,” was a U.S. Army Calvary Camp.   During World War  II  the  Army  transformed  Camp  Grant  into  a military  training  base  and  a  prisoner  of war detainment camp.  In  1946,  the  State  of  Illinois  adopted  the  Airport  Authorities  Act;  thus,  the  Greater  Rockford  Airport Authority was  created.   The original Board of Commissioners  requested and  received a grant of 1,500 acres of federal  land.   The airfield was constructed using most of the military base  infrastructure.   Over the  last 50 years, RFD has hosted numerous airlines  including: Braniff, Ozark, Frontier, Midwest Express, TWA, American, Northwest, TransMeridian, Hooters Air, Sunship1 and United.   Airlines currently serving RFD include Allegiant, Direct Air and Apple Vacations.    RFD’s Terminal In 1987, a new terminal building was constructed to better meet the community’s passenger travel needs.  Within  the  last  few years, significant  terminal  internal reconstruction and reconfiguration projects have been  completed  to  accommodate  the  many  new  passengers  and  to  meet  Transportation  Security Administration  requirements.  The  terminal  is  now  at  full  build  out  and  considering  peak  flow  can accommodate up to 500,000 passengers.  UPS In  1994, United  Parcel  Service  constructed  an  air  cargo  distribution  hub.    The  hub  currently  employs approximately 1,200 with an average of 22 daily‐scheduled cargo  jet arrivals/departures  ranging  in size from  727‐100s  to  747s.    In  2006 UPS  built  a  70,000  square  foot  building  for  their  new  heavy  freight business which began  in the summer of 2006.   This was the first building completed  in the UPS network for the new heavy freight business.  During fiscal year 2007, UPS completed $25 million dollars’ worth of redesign to the package handlers’ distribution hub to increase capacity.  As a result, output increased by over 100%.    Infrastructure Within  the  last  several  years, millions  of  federal  dollars  have  been  invested  in  airport  infrastructure improvements.  There are two runways:  one is 8,200 feet in length; the longest is 10,000 feet in length.  The  10,000  foot  runway  has  a  Category  II/III  Landing  System,  which  is  a  valuable  landing  aid  for commercial and private pilots.   The current year budget  includes the third and  fourth phase of a multi‐year  project  or  rebuild  of  the  north/south  runway  1/19,  which  shows  the  airports  commitment  to maintaining a world‐class facility for the flying public.    In 1996, a two million‐gallon fuel storage facility funded by United Parcel Service, along with a perimeter roadway system, was constructed.  The storage facility increases the stability of the airport now that fuel is immediately available. This storage facility is directly linked to an underground pipeline that ships all jet fuel necessary. There are future plans to expand the underground pipeline asset.  Foreign Trade Zone #176 In  July 1998, RFD became a User Fee Airport which brought Customs  service  to Rockford on a  fee‐for‐service basis.  On March 1, 1991, the FTZ Board in Washington, DC granted authority for FTZ #176 Site #1 (1972  acres) which  encompassed  the  airport  itself  and  some  surrounding  industrial  properties.    Port status was granted effective September 13, 1995, transferring the cost of the Customs operation to the

History(con’t)  federal government.  RFD was the first User Fee Airport to be upgraded to Point Of Entry status.  With a new addition of an  international arrival gate  in 2005, the US Customs and Border Protection  (CBP) now maintains an office staffed full‐time at RFD with inspection services available 24 hours a day.  In response to the creation of the Union Pacific Global III Intermodal Hub  in Rochelle, over 1,000 acres of Greenfield space was added to our FTZ in Rochelle in 2005 and 2006; 74 acres in an industrial park in Woodstock was also part of  the 2005 expansion.   Our  service area encompasses all or part of 10 north  central  Illinois counties:  Winnebago,  Boone,  McHenry,  Stephenson,  Ogle,  DeKalb,  Kane,  Lee,  Bureau,  Putnam  and LaSalle.   Environmental Issues The  Authority  is  proactive  to  all  environmental  issues  of  the  airport.    A  state‐of‐the‐art  Glycol Retention/Treatment  Facility  was  completed  in  1994.    An  addition  is  currently  being  constructed  to accommodate the NW cargo apron built in prior years as well as creating back‐up infrastructure options if at some point in the future there is the need to pump the glycol directly to the local reclamation facility.  Glycol is the key liquid component used in deicing aircraft during the winter months.   Organization  The  Board  of  Commissioners  continues  its  aggressive  stance  to  further  grow  all  areas  of  airport development. The Authority is governed by a seven‐member Board of Commissioners.  The members are appointed as follows:  

The Mayor of the City of Rockford, 3 members;   Winnebago County Board Chairman, 2 members;  The Mayor of the City of Loves Park, 1 member; and  The Village President of Machesney Park, 1 member. 

 The Board members  serve  five‐year  terms,  except  that  any  person  appointed  to  fill  a  vacancy will  be appointed  to  serve  the  unexpired  term.    Members  of  the  Board  of  Commissioners  are  eligible  for reappointment.  The Board selects an Executive Director to staff the respective departments and oversee the day‐to‐day operations.

  Financial Policies  The Authority’s long‐range goal is growth with balanced self‐sufficiency, efficient debt use, and the means to these goals are sound fundamental financial policies.  The financial policies that lay the groundwork for the budget are as follows:  Basis of Accounting The  annual  financial  statements  of  the  Authority  are  prepared  on  the  accrual  basis  of  accounting, whereby  revenues and expenses are  recognized  in  the period earned or  incurred.   All  transactions are accounted for in a single enterprise fund.  Pursuant to GASB Statement No. 20, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Proprietary Funds and Other Government  Entities  that  Use  Proprietary  Fund  Accounting,  the  Authority  follows  GASB  guidance  as applicable to proprietary funds and FASB Statements and Interpretations, Accounting Principles Board  Opinions and Accounting Research Bulletins  issued on or before November 30, 1989 that do not conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements.  Budgetary Data The Authority budget is prepared on an accrual basis with the exception for the following:   Principal payments on long‐term debt are applied to the outstanding liability on a GAAP basis, as 

opposed to being expensed on a budget basis.  Capital  outlays  are  recorded  as  assets  on  a  GAAP  basis  and  fully  expended  for  budgetary 

purposes.

Financial Policies(con’t)  The budget process begins each October.  Authority management has long recognized the importance of proper and accurate budgeting.  Management annually creates a comprehensive line item budget that is adopted by the Board of Commissioners in a public meeting before the beginning of each fiscal year.  The budget  narratives  are  detailed  projections  of  the  expected  financial  operation  over  the  next  year  in accordance  with  the  Authority’s  long‐range  financial  plans.    The  budget  is  created  using  zero‐based budgeting techniques where staff are required to estimate all revenues and expenditures as though each revenue and/or expenditure was being initiated for the first time.  Management’s control of the budget is maintained at the department level.  It is the responsibility of each department to administer its operations in such a manner as to ensure that the use of funds is consistent with the goals and programs authorized by the Board of Commissioners.  The Authority’s definition of a balanced budget  is one  in which  revenues and other  resources equal or exceed expenditures and other uses.  A balanced budget is an integral part of maintaining the Authority’s financial  integrity.    Strategies  employed  to  attain  this  balance  include  cost  reductions,  personnel  and service efficiencies, and increasing fees to match related expenses.  Operating Revenues and Expenses The  Authority  distinguishes  operating  revenues  and  expenses  from  non‐operating  items.    Operating revenues  and  expenses  generally  result  from  providing  services  in  connection  with  the  Authority’s operations.  The principal operating revenues of the Authority are airport fees (primarily landing fees and fuel flowage fees) and lease revenue.  The Authority also recognizes certain other revenues as operating revenues,  including  airport  service  fees,  storm  water  retention  fees,  fuel  permits,  quarry  fees,  etc.  Operating  expenses  for  the  Authority  include  personnel  and  benefit  costs,  contractual  services  costs, commodities  and others.   All  revenues  and  expenses not meeting  this definition  are  reported  as non‐operating revenues and expenses.  Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments The Authority considers all highly  liquid  investments (including short‐term  investments) with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.  Investments  are  stated  at  fair  value.    Fair  value  is determined based primarily on  the basis of quoted market prices.  Interest income is recorded as earned.  Custodial Credit Risk – Deposits:   Custodial  credit  risk  is  the  risk  that  in  the event of bank  failure,  the Authority’s deposits may not be returned to it.  The Authority has a policy regarding custodial credit risk which  requires  that  funds  on  deposit  in  excess  of  FDIC  or  FSLIC  limits  be  secured  by  either  securities guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America or obligations of the United States of America or  its agencies.   The Authority’s policy also  requires  that  the amount of collateral provided shall not be less than 105 percent of the fair market value of the funds secured.  Pledged collateral shall be  held  by  the  Authority  or  in  safekeeping,  evidenced  by  a  safekeeping  agreement.    Collateral  in safekeeping must be held by a third party or by an escrow agent of the pledging institution.

 Financial Policies(con’t)  Credit Risk:  The Authority may invest in public funds in certain types of security as allowed by the Public Funds Investment Act, 30 ILCS 235 et seg.  “Public Funds” are defined as current operating funds, special funds, interest and sinking funds, and funds of any kind belonging to or in custody of the Authority.  While the  Public  Funds  Investment  Act  allows  the  investment  of  public  funds  in  a wider  range  of  possible securities,  it  is  the  policy  of  the  Authority  that  investments  be  limited  to  the  allowed  securities  as identified hereof.  Allowable securities are as follows:  

Bonds,  notes,  certificates  of  indebtedness,  treasury  bills,  or  other  securities,  which  are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America. 

Bonds, notes, debentures, or other similar obligations of the United States of America or  its agencies. 

Any  interest  bearing  account,  deposit  (including  certificates  of  deposit),  or  any  other investment  constituting  direct  obligations  of  any  bank,  collateralized  per  the  investment policy,  and  as  defined  by  the  Illinois  Banking  Act  and  only  those  insured  by  the  Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). 

Any repurchase agreement not to exceed 330 days as provided for in 30 ILCS 235/2 (h) so long as such repurchase agreements comply with said statute and are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States of America. 

 Custodial Credit Risk – Investments:  For an investment, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the Authority will not be able to recover the value of  its  investments or collateral  securities  that  are  in  the  possession  of  an  outside  party.    The Authority’s  investment  policy addresses custodial credit risk, as applicable, as detailed under Custodial Credit Risk – Deposits.  Concentration of Credit Risk – Investments:  Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of a government’s investment in a single issuer.  The Authority’s investment policy allows for no more  than 40 percent of  the  total  investment portfolio, exclusive of U.S. Treasury securities held  in safekeeping to be held at one financial institution.    Accounts Receivable Accounts  receivable  includes  amounts  due  from  Authority  tenants  as well  as  amounts  due  from  the federal and  state governments  for grants.   The amount  shown  is  reduced by an estimated  reserve  for uncollectible accounts.   Taxes Receivable Taxes receivable include taxes levied in the current fiscal year that will be paid in the following fiscal year.  The  balance,  net  of  a  one  percent  allowance  for  uncollectible  amounts,  is  fully  deferred  at  year‐end because the tax levy will be used to fund expenses of the following year.

 Financial Policies(con’t)  Designated Assets Designated  assets  include  all deposits  and  receivables either  legally  restricted or Board designated  for specified purposes.  Designated assets are segregated, by purpose, as follows:   Debt  service  –  These  assets  are  used  to  fund  current  maturities  for  the  outstanding  bond 

payments.  Capital projects – These assets are used to fund budgeted capital items with the exception of debt 

service.  Stormwater  retention  and  landfill  closure  –  These  assets  are  restricted  for  the  repair, 

maintenance  and monitoring  of  the  stormwater  retention  pond  and  for  the  estimated  landfill closure costs. 

 When expenses are incurred for which both designated and unrestricted resources are available, it is the Authority’s policy  to  first  apply designated  resources.    The Authority understands  the need  to  replace capital  items.    In order  to minimize  the  impact of  future capital expenses, staff has planned  for capital replacements with the use of designated assets and they are funded by annual deposits from excess funds available.  Capital Assets An  accounting  and  inventory  of  all  capital  assets  is maintained  to  ensure  proper  accounting  control resulting  in accurate  financial  reports.   All  individual  items with a cost  in excess of $2,000  that provide more  than one year of economic benefit are capitalized.   Depreciation  is calculated by  the straight‐line method using the assets useful life that is classified as follows:     Years   Buildings  20   Infrastructure  20   Machinery, equipment & vehicles  5 – 10   Furniture & fixtures  3 – 5  Routine maintenance and  repairs are expensed as  incurred.   Significant betterment and  improvements are  capitalized  and  depreciated  over  their  estimated  useful  lives.    Interest  incurred  during  the construction phase of capital assets  is reflected  in the capitalized value of the assets constructed, net of interest earned on the invested proceeds over the same period.  Deferred Charges and Unamortized Premium on Bonds All costs associated with the issuance of bonds and other long‐term debts are capitalized.  Amortization is calculated by  the  straight‐line half‐year  (bonds outstanding) method over  the  term of  the debt.   Bond premiums are amortized in the same manner.  This method does not differ significantly from the effective interest method.  Deferred charges also include UPS organizational costs and engineering costs which are being amortized using the straight‐line half‐year method.  Compensated Absences The Authority accrues vacation and sick pay benefits as earned by its employees.

 Financial Policies(con’t)  Use of Estimates The preparation of  financial statements requires management  to make estimates and assumptions  that affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  at  the  date  of  the  financial  statements  and  the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Net Assets The Authority classifies its net assets in three categories as follows:   Invested  in  capital  assets,  net  of  related  debt  consists  of  capital  assets,  net  of  accumulated 

depreciation and reduced by outstanding balances for bonds and other debt that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or improvement of those assets. 

Restricted net assets result when constraints placed on assets used are either externally imposed by  creditors,  grantors,  and  the  like,  or  imposed  by  law  through  constitutional  provisions  or enabling legislation.  The Authority has no restricted net assets. 

Unrestricted net assets consist of all other net assets that do not meet the criteria above.  Operating Reserves The Authority maintains  operating  reserve  funds  to protect  against  the need  to  reduce  service  levels, staff,  or  raise  fees  due  to  temporary  revenue  shortfalls  or  unprecedented  one  time  expenditures.    A reserve was  established  as  a  target minimum  level  to  be maintained  for  exposure  to  natural  disaster, severe unforeseen emergencies and economic uncertainties.   The reserve policy will mitigate any future revenue  fluctuations, where the revenues generated are  interrupted or otherwise  insufficient  to offset the operating expenditure.   To  ensure  sound  fiscal management,  preserve  Authority  Board  discretion  in  its  resource  allocation decisions, and minimize  the  impact  to  the community and airport users  the Authority establishes  the following operating reserve funding targets:   

Build a 3‐5 month reserve of the annual operating and non‐operating expenses using a three‐year trend to project the actual amount.  

Transfer all types of revenue exceeding expenses, after the payment of debt service and on‐going capital project costs, into the reserve account until the target is met.  

Maintain reserves  in approved  investments accounts that allow for projected needs of reserves as well as the ability to earn interest income where appropriate. 

 The recommended target amounts are based on recommendation from rating agencies and established best practices utilized by other municipalities.   Legal Debt Margin Pursuant to the Airport Authorities Act, the Authority is given the right to issue tax secured bonds without the approval of voters within  its boundaries  for  construction and development of an airport, provided that:  The total of the bonds previously  issued or to be  issued does not exceed three‐quarters percent 

(0.75%) of the total assessed valuation of all taxable properties within the Authority’s boundaries, and

Financial Policies(con’t)   The plans and specifications are submitted to the State of Illinois Department of Transportation, 

Division of Aeronautics for approval.  The Authority may issue additional bonds; however, voter approval is required.  The total amount of the bonds may not exceed  two and  three  tenths percent  (2.3%) of  the  total assessed valuation.   The 2.3% debt  limit  is calculated as of the time of  issuance of the bonds and  includes all Authority  indebtedness.  The Authority  is also  subject  to a 2.875% debt  limitation with  respect  to all outstanding  indebtedness.  This  limit  is  calculated  as  of  the  date  of  issuance  of  any  debt,  except  tax  anticipation  notes,  tax anticipation warrants and revenue bonds.  Tax Rate   The current tax rate for the Authority is budgeted at $.0945 per $100 of assessed value.    Risk Financing The  Authority  purchases  commercial  insurance  coverage  for  the  various  risks  the  Authority  may encounter  in  its operations.    Such  risks of  loss  relate  to  torts;  theft of, damage  to  and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; and worker’s compensation.    The Authority established a partial self‐insurance program beginning January 1, 2008 to cover the risks of health claims and has retained the services of an outside agency to administer  its self‐insurance claims.  The Authority does not  assume unlimited  liability  for health  claims  as  it maintains  stop‐loss  coverage, which covers medical expenses when they are incurred for amounts in excess of $3,500 annually for each participant.    Rates & Charges The Authority periodically approves a Rates & Charges Policy by  resolution.   The  charges  incorporated therein are determined by examining  costs associated with  the  revenue  stream.   Rates & Charges are reviewed  and  amended periodically  and  are  included  in  Exhibit  2.   Rates  and Charges  are based on  a combination of both residual and compensatory methods.  Internal Controls The Authority’s internal control structure is an important and integral part of its entire accounting system.  The  current  structure  in place  is designed  to provide  reasonable, but not absolute assurance  that:    (1) assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition; (2) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s  authorization;  (3)  financial  records  are  reliable  for  preparing  financial statements and maintaining accountability  for assets;  (4)  there  is  compliance with applicable  laws and regulations;  and  (5)  there  is  effectiveness  and  efficiency  of  operations.    The  concept  of  reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of control should not exceed the benefits that are likely to be derived from  them,  and  that  the  evaluation  of  cost  and  benefits  requires  estimates  and  judgment  by management.

Financial Policies(con’t)  We believe  that  the Authority’s  internal  control  framework adequately  safeguards assets and provides reasonable assurance and proper recording of financial transactions. 

 One duty of the Finance Manager is to perform internal and external auditing functions.  In the course of this assignment, the Finance Manager is authorized to have full, free and unrestricted access to all records relating to the audit.   Budget Document  Budgeting serves as an  important management tool to plan, control and evaluate the operations of the Authority.  The budget has been prepared in accordance with the standards set forth by the Government Finance Officers Association  (GFOA) Distinguished Budget Presentation Award Program  to  fully disclose the  financial  operations  of  the  Authority.    Upon  successful  review  and  approval,  this  budget will  be submitted to the GFOA for their consideration of this prestigious award.  The Authority used zero‐based budgeting  (ZBB)  techniques, which required staff  to provide  justification and  support  for all expenditures.   This allows  for evaluation of expenditures  to ensure  that each  item supports and contributes  to the goals of the organization.   ZBB results  in a more meaningful document that  has  the  support  of  staff  for  implementation  and  utilization.      This  budget  is  divided  into  six components:  transmittal  letter,  revenue  budget,  operating  expenses  budget,  non‐operating  budget, capital  budget,  and  exhibit  section.    The  operating  expense  budget  is  further  broken  down  into departmental budgets.   Budget Process  Budget Adoption.  The Authority’s budget is adopted by ordinance to comply with the provisions of State of  Illinois Statute 50  ILCS 330/3, which requires a governing body to approve a budget within or before the first quarter of the fiscal year.  In accordance with that same statute, the budget serves as the annual appropriations ordinance.  The budget is prepared on a cash basis, whereby all revenues and expenses are recognized in the period in which cash is received and/or paid.  Budget  Calendar.    State  law  requires  a  tentative  budget  and  appropriation  ordinance  be  made conveniently available for public inspection at least thirty (30) days prior to final action thereon.  Further, at  least one  (1) public hearing must be held prior  to budget adoption and notice of  this public hearing must be published in a newspaper at least thirty (30) days prior to the time of such hearing.  The tentative schedule for this process was as follows:     27 March 2014  Approve Tentative Budget and Appropriation Ordinance (Exhibit 1) 

  10 April 2014  Public Hearing Notice published in newspaper 

  22 May 2014  Public Hearing   

  22 May 2014  Approve Adoption of Budget and Appropriation Ordinance (Exhibit 5)

Budget Process(con’t)  In the fall prior to the end of the fiscal year department heads begin creating draft budgets and capital recommendations  and  then  submit  the  recommendations  to  the  Finance  Department  for  review  in December.    The  draft  budgets  are  reviewed  with  each  department  head  and  the  Director  and  then coordinated against the available resources and any edits or modifications are done to align the goals and plans  for  the  coming  year.   With  staff  recommendation,  the  budget  is  finalized  and  presented  to  the Board of Commissioners for review.  In anticipation of the fiscal year beginning May 1, typically the public hearing is held and the budget is approved in April; however, due to significant events very near the fiscal year end, it was necessary to extend the budgeting process, public hearing and final adoption.   Budget Amendment.    The Budget  is  amended only upon  the occurrence of  an  extraordinary  event,  as deemed by  the Executive Director, with concurrence by a majority of  the Board of Commissioners and then only if funds are available.    Budget Monitoring.   The  independent monitoring of the budget continues throughout the fiscal year for management control purposes.   Monthly financial statements comparing to budget are presented to all Senior Staff and Board Members for review.   A Planning and Finance Committee comprised of the same meets monthly to discuss and review any significant items or changes.   Distinguished Budget Presentation Award   The  Government  Finance  Officers  Association  of  the  United  States  and  Canada  (GFOA)  presented  a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award to the Greater Rockford Airport Authority for its annual budget for the fiscal year beginning May 1, 2013.  This was the thirteen  in as many years that the Authority has been awarded this prestigious award.  In order to receive this award, a governmental unit must publish a budget document that meets program criteria as a policy document, as an operations guide, as a financial plan, and as a communications device.  This award  is valid  for a period of one year.    It  is believed  the current budget continues  to conform  to program  requirements;  therefore,  it will  be  submitted  to GFOA  to  determine  its  eligibility  for  award.  Following is a copy of the award.

Revenues  Two  types of revenues are budgeted, operating and non‐operating.   Operating revenue  is derived  from the day‐to‐day operations of the airport and includes landing fees, fuel flowage fees, hangar leases, land leases,  building  leases,  airport  service  fees,  AirFest  revenues,  operating  grants,  and  FTZ  fees.    Non‐operating revenue is a consequence of operating the airport; e.g., tax levy and interest income.     The  airport  services  fee  includes  fees  charged  for  services  performed  by  our  staff,  which  includes, badging, training, escorts, snow removal, deicing chemical application, international rubbish removal, fuel permitting and any other maintenance fees.    Shown below are  the historical annual operating  revenues.   There was a positive  trend  through FYE08, mostly attributable growth  in both cargo and passenger activity and the return of AirFest  in FYE06.   The subsequent decline in operating revenues is related to the decline in cargo activity which has seen a 45% drop from the loss of two smaller cargo operations and a decrease from UPS.  The sharp drop in 2014 is the result of the one year hiatus of airshow which has returned this year.    The Authority has worked to diversify the revenue sources and work to grow the leasable opportunities at the airport.    

  

 Staff  concentrates  its efforts  to  increase  the amount of  fixed  revenue over  variable  revenue as a high percentage of variable revenue could be financially catastrophic in an airport economic downturn.  Lease revenue and other revenue (fixed revenue) will serve as a hedge in possible future economic downturns.  As shown on the following page growth  in airport fees  is associated with the  increased rates for landing fees  and  additional  activity  for  diversions  and  charters.    Staff  continues  efforts  to  investigate  new opportunities for additional leased revenues.

 Revenues (con’t)   

                   Non‐operating  revenues  consist  predominantly  of  the  property  tax  levy,  but  also  include  replacement taxes  and  interest  income  collected on Authority deposits.    Property  taxes  are  levied  to  cover  certain operating  expenses.    The  total  levy  is  approximately  $.1034  per  $100  of  assessed  valuation  and  the projected decrease  is  the  result of assessed valuation  reductions.   Replacement  taxes are projected  to increase  based  on  State  of  Illinois  estimates.    Airport  Improvement  Grant  (AIP)  funds  and  passenger facility charges are now considered non‐operating revenues where  in the past they were categorized as contributions.   Passenger facility charges project an  increase based on enplanement growth for the next year.    Expenditures  Expenditures  are  also  categorized  between  operating  and  non‐operating.   Operating  expenditures  are those expenditures  that are  incurred as a  result of  the direct operation of  the airport, and are  further broken down by operating departments; Finance and Administration, Operations and Facilities, Air Service Marketing, Terminal Services and AirFest.  Non‐operating expenditures are expenditures for debt service interest.  Following are the historical annual operating expenses.   The fluctuations from year to year are mainly due to our service activity for new routes, the decreases in 2014 and planned for 2015 are due to a one year hiatus from airshow and in 2015 the change in ARFF providers. Projections for the next three to five years show a moderate increase in the operating expenses as a result of growth in passenger service.

Expenditures(con’t)  Personnel Services accounts for 45% of operating expenses and is traditionally one of the largest cost for the Authority.  The Authoriy views the employees as its most important asset and works to hire the best most highly qualified and motivated people.     Contractual  services  is  36%  of  the  total  operating  expenses  and  includes  all  contracted  services  and utilities.  Commodities make up only 14% of total expenses which is down from the prior year.  The Other category  of  4%  is  for  those  costs  not  included  in  the  other  sections  and  include  the  glycol  retention treatment facility, landfill and environmental costs.  Non‐operating  expenditures  consist  predominantly  of  interest  expense  for  debt.    There  has  been  a increase  from  the  prior  year  due  to  the  addition  of  an  interest  expense  on  a  capital  lease  for  2  new runway brooms.     Debt Service  The  primary  objective  of  debt management  is  to  keep  the  level  of  indebtedness within  the  available resources, and comply with the  legal debt  limitations as established by the Airport Authorities Act.   The Authority’s  outstanding  debt  is  $3.5 million  in  revenue  bonds.  The  Authority  has  pledged  the  Airport Improvement Program  (AIP)  Federal Grant money  it expects  to  receive  in  the  future  as  a  government revenue  source  to  repay  the  general  obligation  alternate  revenue  bonds  issued  December  2008.  Proceeds from the bonds provided financing to  implement certain  improvements to the Airport through construction of the Northwest Air Cargo Apron and Access Taxiway.    During 2014 the Authority entered into a  capital lease agreement for two high speed runway brooms for a total of $1.2 million.  The lease is for seven years with a $1 buy at the end of the term.  The Authority manages debt with the goal of only incurring debt where it economically has a benefit and the  following  table  shows  the  history  and  future  of  the  outstanding  debt.    The  following  schedule incorporates both principle and interest payments for the existing and planned debt uses for the year.  As noted below there are no plans to acquire additional debt at this time.

Debt Service(con’t)  The last rating for the Authority was in October 2003.   Moody’s upgraded the Authority bond rating to A1 from A2.   The  rating upgrade  reflects  the Authority eliminating bank  loan debt, a moderate amount of rapidly retired bonded debt, resumption of a small amount of passenger service and the Authority’s stable and consistently well‐managed financial operations.  As a result of the improved rating, the Authority was able to issue previous bonds with a lower interest rate, thereby,  reducing the amount of future interest expense the Authority  incurred.   The plan  is to continue  to maintain a balance sheet  that will allow  for favorable rating in the future when necessary to issue ratable debt.   

 The legal debt margins as of April 30, 2014 are summarized as follows which shows the Authority is within the legal debt margin.

   Capital Improvement Program  The  Capital  Improvement  Program  (CIP)  is  a  five  to  ten  year  program  that  provides  for  critical improvements  and  asset  preservation.    The  program  includes  projects  that  address  federal  security requirements,  airfield  safety,  enhanced  revenue  potential,  rolling  equipment  replacement,  asset preservation and completion of the newly updated Master Plan.    Funding  sources  for  the projects and  replacements  include Airport  Improvement Program  (AIP) grants, Passenger Facility Charges  (PFC), allocated reserve funds, the balance of the capital accounts, operating revenues and short term borrowings where appropriate.   The current year budget does not  include any short  term borrowings.   Each year  the Authority updates  the  five year equipment program and  the 10 year  infrastructure  program.    The  10  year  plan  is  updated  in  conjunction  with  the  Transportation Improvement Plan and the Master Plan when updated.    Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grants are offered from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to provide funding assistance for eligible capital projects that meet the criteria of the federal program.  The Authority meets annually with  the FAA and  Illinois Department of Transportation to review the 10‐year plan and discuss the upcoming year’s projects as well as any changes or additions to the plan.  This is done prior to the FAA giving approval of each fiscal year plan.

Capital Improvement Program(con’t)  Title  49  of  the  United  States  Code  (USC)  authorizes  the  AIP  program.    The  objectives  of  this  federal program is to assist in development of a nationwide system of public use airports, to ensure the safe and secure operation of the airport and airway system, and to meet the projected needs of the public.   The program  is  funded by aviation use  fees, which are collected and deposited  into  the Airport and Airway Trust Fund that generates the revenues in support of the AIP.   The US Congress authorizes expenditures from  this  dedicated  fund  on  an  annual  basis  each  year.    The  AIP  program  includes  entitlement  and discretionary  funding.   Entitlement  funds are awarded  to eligible sponsors  through a  formula based on the  number  of  passengers  boarding  and  cargo  aircraft  tonnage.   Discretionary  funds  are  set  aside  to provide the FAA the flexibility to fund various high priority programs.  It  is  projected  that  FYE15  will  include  approximately  $10  million  in  AIP  eligible  projects  for  airfield improvements.  The AIP program typically provides funding for 90% to 95% of eligible project costs.   The AIP program budget generally will include potential projects if discretionary funding becomes available.  If the  funding  is not available during  the year  the project will carry  forward  to  the next year. The current year budget includes the Authority’s share of approximately $457,000 of the $10 million in projects.  Passenger  Facility  Charges  (PFC)  were  initially  authorized  through  the  Aviation  Safety  and  Capacity Expansion Act of 1990.   The Act allowed public agencies, which manage commercial airports  to charge each enplaning passenger a facility charge in accordance with FAA requirements.  The PFC is levied on the passenger tickets collected by the airlines, and forwarded to the airport  (less a handling fee charged by the airlines).  The revenues collected are to preserve or enhance safety, security, and capacity, to reduce noise or to enhance competition.    In  October  1992,  the  Authority  received  approval  from  the  Federal  Aviation  Administration  (FAA)  to impose a PFC of $3.00 per enplaned passenger.  In April of 2007 the FAA approved the Authority’s request to increase the PFC level to $4.50 on all remaining reimbursements.  The new collection rate commenced on  June 1, 2007.   The  total approved  collectible amount  is $7,476,945 and  the Authority has collected PFC’s, including interest earned totaling $5,151,610.    Projected FYE15 CIP capital expenditures are as follows and a specific  list of the projects are outlined  in the Capital Improvement section of the booklet.

Summary of Changes in Net Position

  Designated Assets  The  Authority’s  intent  is  to  become  a  self‐supporting  entity  and,  therefore,  is  accounted  for  as  a proprietary fund.  In a proprietary fund, the Authority accounts for its financial transactions similar to that of  a  private  business  enterprise.    As  a  result  the  Authority  has  set  up multiple  bank  accounts  and investments  for  the  four different  types of  sources and uses: operating, debt  service,  capital and  trust funds for future expenditures.  All expenses are paid with the appropriate resources.  Since some capital expenditures have no funding source, other than those funded by FAA sources, it is necessary to transfer excess net operating proceeds  from  the Operating Account  to  these other  accounts.   This  is  generally done at year‐end when the amount of excess funds is known.  All excess funds earned in the current year will fund the Capital Fund for the next year.  Operating  account.    The  operating  account  is  unrestricted  and  predominantly  all  operating  monies (operating revenue and operating tax levy) are received and expended from this account (operating fund).  Included, but separately identified is an Operating Reserve of approximately $777,000.  Debt service account.  The debt service account is to support the principal and interest payments for the Alternate Revenue Bond which are then funded from this account.    Capital  projects  account.    This  fund  pays  for  all  capital  improvements  and  capital  programs  unless accounted for specifically through a trust fund.  Funding for this account is derived from Passenger Facility Charges (PFCs), excess operating monies from the previous year and AIP funds reimbursement.  A portion of the AIP funds reimbursement planned for BFYE of $624,250 is also included in this account.    Trust fund account.  Trust funds were established to fund future expenditures for the following purposes:  

Landfill closure fund,  Glycol retention/treatment facility fund,  Equipment replacement fund, and  Building re‐roof fund.

 Designated Assets(con’t)  The landfill closure fund is estimated to be at approximately $1,144,101.  The balance appears reasonable based on the environmental engineers review.  There will be no contributions to the fund during the year.    The glycol retention/treatment facility fund is for future repairs and upgrades to this facility.  This facility purifies the wastewater that is collected from de‐iced aircraft.  The glycol treatment fund has a balance of $1,423,894 and  is  funded by  the  interest earned.   The maximum balance  for  this  fund caps out at $1.5 million.    The equipment sinking/replacement fund is for airport equipment purchases of larger equipment such as snow removal vehicles or fire trucks in the future.  Presently, the fund balance is $2,466,029 and there are no plans in the current year to make a contribution other than interest earned on the existing funds.  The expectation is the contributions will resume once revenues begin a steady growth.  Typically this is funded by  the  receipts of auctioned equipment,  investment earnings and a budgeted  sinking  fund  transfer.   A building re‐roof fund to fund an extensive re‐roof of the Coleman Hangar has a balance of $198,392. This balance appears adequate to fund the re‐roof in the future.  The Authority views this as an effective way to manage large capital purchases.   A summary of the beginning balances, sources, uses, and ending balances for the segregated accounts are following.

Airport Fees Lease Revenues AirFest Revenues Airport Service Fees Other

  Airport fees – airside, $2,010,075.  Airport fees – airside revenue is comprised of landing fees, ramp fees, and  fuel  flowage  fees.   These  fees are generated on the runways, taxiways, aprons, and  in areas of the terminal.  They are variable in nature and dependent upon an aircraft landed weight, number of aircraft seats or gallons of fuel pumped.  Fuel flowage fees were calculated using the prior year estimated fueling and economic indicators.  Most fuel flowage is from the general aviation and small commercial operations and has budgeted similar activity as the prior year.      Landing  fees  for cargo are projected based on 840 million pounds, which  is slightly  less than  last year’s estimates.  Based on discussions with the cargo operators and other economic indicators there is minimal growth planned  for FYE15.   Landing  fees  for passenger airlines are projected  to  increase as a  result of diversion activity.    Included are estimates  for  landing  fees  related  to diversions and charters.   RFD  is a major diversion airport for airlines flying to O’Hare, Midway and Milwaukee.    Ramp fees are related to usage by airlines from the Jetway to the terminal.  The Authority has a common use terminal.   All users pay one fee for use of  jetway, baggage claims, and counter space.   All gates and counter space in the terminal are common use.    Airport  fees  –  landside, $210,000.   The  revenue  in  this  category  is  rental  car  commissions.   As  in  the previous category, these revenues are also variable in nature.  Revenues are expected to decrease slightly from the FYE14 projected year end amounts as a result of decreased activity from a rental car operation in the area.

Operating Revenue Summary(con’t)  Lease revenue – on airport, $1,328,330.  Lease revenue is fixed over time and includes building, terminal, concessions/counters/office and land.  These sources of revenue are not dependent upon an independent variable  (except  for  time), and are  recurring  from  year‐to‐year, with  the exception of  rental  increases.  Because of their nature, these revenues are easily and more accurately budgeted than variable revenues.  The revenues in this category are all on the airport or within the perimeter fence.  Lease revenues in both areas are projected to increase as a result of new lease opportunities.     Lease  revenue  –  off  airport,  $620,489.    Sources  of  revenue  include  building  and  land  leases.    These sources are also fixed and do not vary much over time and are outside the perimeter fence and are largely considered an  industrial park.   Lease revenue–off airport  is planned to  increase based on potential new leasing opportunity.  AirFest revenue, $605,000.  AirFest revenues are all the dollars associated with the annual airshow.  This will be the ninth show since the return of the event.  With the history and experience the budget amount appears to be a reasonable estimate based on a two day show with an approximate attendance of 75,000.  Airport service  fees, $254,750.   Airport service  fees  include badging,  training, escorting, snow  removal, international rubbish removal, deicing chemical application and any other services provided.  The amount budgeted  is  based  on  estimated  activity  levels  for  badging  and  international  rubbish.    The  snow  and deicing fees are based on our regional averages.   Other – $503,405.   Other  revenue  sources  include commercial operating agreement  fees, quarry  fees, foreign trade zone fees, and other miscellaneous  income.   Most of these revenues are  incidental to the operation.  Increase is related to expansion at quarry and growth of FTZ fees.

Operating Expenses Summary  

The  Authority  was  broken  down  into  eight  departments  with  respective  Directors  or  Managers responsible for each  independent budget.   You will have the opportunity to better understand the goals and objectives of the organization and how the various expenses align with our strategic plan.  The eight departments  include  Administration  and  Finance,  Facilities  and Maintenance,  Operations, Marketing, Terminal,  AirFest,  Cargo  Development  and  Passenger  Development.    Each  departmental  budget  is presented in the subsequent sections.  This includes a summary of the department, goals for the coming year, the budget, and justifications.  Each department except for AirFest is directly related to all revenue sources.  Without the staff in each of these departments working together the revenue sources would not continue to evolve and strengthen.    As  the charts below show  that a majority of  the costs are  related  to directly operating  the airport and maintaining all the infrastructure and buildings.                        The  following pages are a  combined  report by department  comparing  to  the prior year’s budget.   The report allows for a better understanding of how certain costs are allocated.

AirFest Department Summary The AirFest Department  is  responsible  for  the overall development  and  implementation of one of  the Midwest’s  largest  events.  AirFest  is  considered  a  promotional  event  for  the  airport,  with  the  added benefit of supporting the community’s quality of  life with another  family‐oriented event  for the region. The department oversees and implements the operational, promotional, and financial aspects of Rockford AirFest.  Although  a  component  of  the  greater  Airport marketing mix,  it was  necessary  to  separately identify the related costs of the event from the Air Service Marketing.    Following is the objective for the AirFest.  Department initiatives to move the goals are listed below.  Also noted are prior year results.    

 Goals and Objectives Provide  a  high  quality,  high  value  family‐friendly  event  for  the  regional  community  and  a marketing opportunity to promote RFD in the most cost effective manner.    Produce an event  that resonates with  the region and allows  for patrons  to experience RFD and 

results in a breakeven or better financial position. 

Operate an event that is safe for the performers and patrons. 

Establish relationships with local and regional businesses that will benefit RFD. 

Raise  awareness  in  the  airshow  community  to  facilitate  easier  attraction  of  both military  and civilian performers for future shows (received high marks by recruiters and performers). 

Continue  to  improve  the  traffic  flow and parking by eliminating bottlenecks and decreasing  the slowdowns (no delays during show). 

Creating award‐winning marketing communication collateral and advertising (two more awards in December at International Council Air Shows (ICAS) conference). 

Continue to grow sponsorship by 25% each year. 

Attract more national sponsorships. 

Have all fixed costs paid prior to gate opening. 

Increase knowledge of consumer through survey engagement. 

   

Develop collaborative opportunities for promotion, education and recruitment through various businesses and community events. Go Global, Air Show . Ice Sculpting Contest (clean snow ), Cub Scouts, College/High School Interns.

INITIATIVES

Excel as a community partner for the region.

Participation and collaboration in the community.

Continue and/or increase participation.
