Property Tax Allocations- Line #1.050 A) Rollback and Homestead Reimbursement Rollback funds are reimbursements paid to the district from Ohio for tax credits given owner occupied residences equaling 12.5% of the gross property taxes charged residential taxpayers on tax levies passed prior to September 29,2013. HB59 eliminated the 10% and 2.5% rollback on new levies approved after September 29,2013 which is the effective date ofHB59. HB66 the FY06-07 budget bill previously eliminated 10% rollback on Class II (commercial and industrial) property. Homestead Exemptions are also credits paid to the district from the state of Ohio for qualified elderly and disabled. In 2007 HB119 expanded the Homestead Exemption for all seniors over age 65 years of age or older or who are disabled regardless of income. Effective September 29,2013 HB59 changes the requirement for Homestead Exemptions. Individual taxpayers who do not currently have their Homestead Exemption approved or those who do not get a new application approved for tax year 2013, and who become eligible thereafter will only received a Homestead Exemption if they meet the income qualifications. Taxpayers who currently have their Homestead Exemption as of September 29, 2013 will not loose it going forward and will not have to meet the new income qualification. This will slow the growth of homestead reimbursements to the district, and as with the rollback reimbursements above, increase the taxes collected locally on taxpayers Further declines in Rollback and Homestead reimbursements in FYI6-FYI7 are the result of the expiring Emergency Levy previously discussed. This lost revenue is returned to the forecast in line 11.020. We have assumed the levy will be renewed as it has been in prior years. Source

B) Tangible Personal Property Reimbursements - Fixed Rate These amounts reflect the state's reimbursement of tangible personal property tax that is being phased out in HB66. HB153 the new state budget dramatically changes this revenue as Cincinnati City Schools qualifies as a highly reliant district on TPP funds. As a result we saw a reduction in FY12 and FY13 but instead of phasing out TPP altogether by FY18, HBI53 says funding will remain at the FYI3 levels through FY26. This would be good news for our district but all budget items from the state are subject to change every two years. At present the state's economy is recovering. HB59 did not eliminate or further cut the TPP fixed rate reimbursement. Based on this economic news we feel that we can project the promised TPP reimbursements through FY18. However, we must constantly keep an eye on these TPP funds in each and every biennium state budget as past commitments have not been honored and these funds could be a target of future state budget cuts.

Other Revenues - Line #1.060 All Other Revenues include interest earnings and other various income sources. Interest income will increase and decrease as the cash position of the General Fund fluctuates over the forecast period and as rates fluctuate. The district's balances available for investment vary month to month due to cash flow needs. The sharply reduced interest rates are expected to continue to keep investment earnings lower. District funds can be invested in U.S. Government agency discount notes, banker's acceptances, treasury notes, certificates of deposits, and money held in STAROHIO, the State Treasurer's investment pool. The treasurer's office ladders out investments to catch a portion of the yield curve offering slightly better rates and will continue to monitor rates to invest the available capital at the most secure and highest yield possible. Security of the public funds collected by the district is however the top priority of the treasurer's office. Other local sources of funds received including payments in lieu of taxes (PILOTS) of$7.8 million, facility rentals and other miscellaneous income which are estimated to increase slightly throughout the forecast. Beginning in the 2013 Fiscal Year the District began receiving Casino tax revenue. However, the Casino revenue has been re-categorized to line 1.035. Also, in FY13 the District sold $1,364,182 in property no longer needed. The sale of property was included in the miscellaneous subsection noted below. Large property sales are not anticipated in FYI4-18. The only Federal revenue which the district receives in the General Fund is for Medicaid reimbursements for medical services provided to qualified low income students covered by Medicaid. The district received $2.1 million in FY08, $3.5 million FY09, $1.5 million in FYI 0, $248,271 in FYIl, $589,815 in FY12 and increased again to $1,536,810 in FY13. The FY13 increase was attributed to past due reimbursements from previous years. We anticipate it will drop to FY 12 levels and remain flat at $589,815 per year for FYI4-18.

There is no short term borrowing planned for in this forecast at this time from any sources.

Transfers In / Return of Advances - Line #2.040 & Line #2.050

In Fiscal Year 2013 the General Fund received $12 million in Return of Advances/reimbursements

from other funds. These reimbursements were to repay cash loans made from General Fund in prior

fiscal years. The loans to the other funds were necessary because the grants and other funds were

facing a negative cash balance at the end of the fiscal year, which is not allowed by Ohio law. As a

result, the General Fund loaned sufficient cash to these funds and is then reimbursed by those funds

when the revenue is received. The "advances out" can be found in the expenditure section under the

category "Advances to Fund" which is reported under the summary category of ''Non-Operating Other

Expenditures". Fiscal Year 2014 reimbursements are expected to be $24.3 million. This was about $10

million larger than normal and was to fix cash deficits created by payroll software issues ofprior years.

This non-operating revenue is expected to continue into the future at a rate of $1 0.5 million per year.

All Other Financial Sources - Line #2.060 & Line #14.010 Line #2.06 reflects the movement of the E-Rate reimbursements from the E-Rate Fund beginning with FY13. These reimbursements were for certain communication costs. The actual costs associated with this reimbursement were added to costs in Line #3.03 also beginning in FY13. The E-Rate Fund was closed at the end of FY12. The District did not receive the anticipated $3.5 million for E-Rate reimbursements for FY13. It is anticipated that E-Rate reimbursements will begin again in FY14 and continue at the $3.5 million level through out the forecasted period. There was also was a one-time refund of $3,706,844, in real estate assessment fees from the Hamilton County Auditor in FY13. This amount was from an accumulated balance in the County Auditors Real Estate Assessment fund that was declared to be in excess. Therefore, we do not expect these amounts to be received in the future. We appreciate the auditor's office returning these unneeded fees back to our district. Source

Support back into appropriate budget accounts in General Fund

In 2008 the district served as a state test site for a new model of allowing General Funds and Federal Funds to be used in one budget to operate school buildings and meet the needs of students, referred to here as "Grant Pooling" concept. As a result in the 2008 Fiscal Year, expenditures demonstrated the reclassification of certain expenditures to the "transfer of funds" classification. This was necessary due to the realignment of some school buildings which began to operate under a "Grant Pooling" concept using one combining fund to operate. In past years these funds were required to be kept separate for federal reporting purposes. As a result, expenditures in the GF for the 2008 Fiscal Year reflected a net decrease of 47.5% from 2007 levels. Salaries and wages, fringe benefits, supplies, contract services, and equipment expenses were also reduced in the 2008 fiscal year and the "transfer" category increased by $126,906,570. This practice continued thru the 2012 Fiscal Year. However, the district discontinued this practice beginning with the 2013 Fiscal Year. As a result, Fiscal Years 2009-2012 as shown in this forecast, have been restated to show the amounts and categories actually used in the "Grant Pooling" concept. In addition, transfers out were correspondingly reduced with a net zero impact upon the bottom line. The restatement was necessary in order that the reader could appropriately compare operating activity through-out the forecast.

Wages & Personal Services Estimates - Line #3.010 • Base salaries are assumed to increase by 0.0% in fiscal years 2014-2018. The District's employee associations have agreed to 0% base increases for Calendar Years 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, at the end of which their contract expires. However, given the looming deficit 17

situation, it is assumed that base salary increases will not be given during the next set of association agreements. The teacher pay schedule was modified effective January 1, 2011 Collective Bargaining Agreement. Levels one and two were deleted and Level 3 is the starting base salary. Based on the language in Appendix A, Page 2, "Performance Review Evaluations (PRE) are now tied to teacher pay and added to the currently funded levels. Teachers can earn an additional $800 for each successful completion of the PRE. The stipends are compounded and paid out upon completion of the PRE, which occurs in the fall of the year following the PRE. Only those CFT bargaining unit members on 11 of the 12 Longevity Steps that do not have financial increments are eligible to apply to their principal for the opportunity to participate in the year long PRE Program. Step increases are assumed to continue at their current rate of approximately 2% each year for Fiscal Years 2014-2018 for Certificated and Non-Certificated employees. In the 2012 Fiscal Year, there was a further reduction of 142 positions, most of which were not refilled. Beginning in the 2013 Fiscal Year, the District reduced 122 positions through retirements, resignations and lay-offs generating an anticipated $11 million savings across salary and benefit categories. However, most of these positions were brought back and repositioned to address an increased number of pupils who arrived in the fall of2012 in comparison to previous expectations. In previous fiscal years a $4.87 million contingency was added to the salary line to reflect additional costs should additional staffbe required. Beginning in FYI4, this contingency has been moved to line 5.01. Beginning with FYI5, the contingency has been totally eliminated due to budgetary constraints. In November 2011 payroll software upgrades were made. Unfortunately, the new software reduced accrued regular payroll costs twice for employee leave costs rather than the one time which should have been reduced. As a result, costs were originally understated in FY12 by $6,001,063.99 and by $13,637,417.30 for FY13. FY 13 was corrected by the end of the fiscal year. In FY14 the district added $6.5 million and moved $4.7 million in contingency money to cover the additional staff, as was done in previous years, noted above. However, unlike in previous years, this $6.5 million in staff was not reduced and a contingency created. Instead, beginning in FYI5, the forecasts do not contain a contingency because of budgetary constraints. While further reductions in staffmg are likely in future years, they cannot be quantified at this time.

Fringe Benefits Estimates - Line #3.02

This area of the forecast captures all costs associated with benefits and retirement costs. Fringe benefits

ran 37.57% of wage costs in FY13 and are estimated to range from 39.27% - 44.45% in FY14-FYI8.

B) Health And Dental Insurance Because of previously negotiated health insurance provisions and good experience, district health insurance trends have been below market trends for Fiscal Years 2008-2011. In Fiscal Year 2012 catastrophic costs returned to previous levels. The District experienced a 4.2% increase in FYI3. Given the district's history and market movement, it is anticipated that the district will experience 7% increases in FY 14. It is further anticipated that those increases will return to normal trends of about 6­ 8% for FYI5-18. Dental insurance is expected to trend at 7% for FY14 and then to trend at 5.5% for FYI5-18. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) Costs- the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) commonly called Affordable Care Act (ACA), is a United States federal statute signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23,2010. Together with the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, it represents the most significant regulatory overhaul of the country's healthcare system since the passage of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965. Many of the significant provisions of the PPACA that were scheduled to be implemented by employers on January 1, 2014 were delayed until January 1,2015 by a July 2, 2013 ruling from the IRS. It is uncertain to what extent the implementation ofPPACA will cost our district additional funds. There are numerous new regulations that potentially will require added staff time, at least initially due to increased demands, and it is likely that additional employees will be added to coverage that do not have coverage now. We are not certain what these added costs may be but there are "taxes" mandated by the act which we are aware of. The Transition Reinsurance fee due January 15,2015, is a fee due the IRS for $5.25 per covered member per month for the prior year (20 14).This will be $63 for each employee who had a full year of coverage in the prior year. This tax could equate to a roughly a 2% annual increase in FYI5. For fully insured plans an Insurer Fee of 2.46% of premium is due by the insurer January 1,2014. This cost will be passed along in fully insured plans. Longer-term a significant concern is the 40% "Cadillac Tax" that will be imposed in 2018 for plans whose value of benefits exceed $10,200 for individual plans and $27,500 for family plans. The rules and implementation of the PPACA is an ongoing issue we are watching closely to evaluate the effect on our district.

Workers Compensation is expected to remain at about 1.3% of wages in fiscal years 2014-18. Bureau of Workers Compensation costs will increase and decrease typically as wages rise and fall. The district is a direct reimbursement payer for Unemployment Compensation thereby paying only the claims that are paid on its behalf when claims are made. In the 2010 fiscal year unemployment costs were reclassified from an 856 object of Benefit and Claims to a 280 object Unemployment Compensation.

Purchased Services - Line #3.030 Purchase services are costs for personnel who are not on the payroll of the school district, and other services that the school district may purchase. Expenditures in this category include: instructional services, instructional improvement services, health services, data processing services, professional/legal services, garbage removal, repairs and maintenance services, rentals, property insurance, lease-purchase agreements, meeting and mileage expenses, telephone expenses, postage, advertising, utilities, tuition paid to other districts, and pupil transportation. Most significantly, this category includes payments to Community Schools and Ed Choice Scholarship Voucher program established by HBI53 and expanded in HB59. There are other laws that if passed will open up even more expense for the district in these choice type programs. If these initiatives become law it is certain costs for these programs will shoot up over the next several years. Inflation/participation increases for Community Schools and Voucher Scholarships are estimated at 3%. The remaining tuition costs, which are primarily related to special needs students, are anticipated to continue to increase at about 5% per years for FY 14-18. An overall inflation of about 3.97% is being estimated for the purchased service accounts. Pupil transportation is estimated to increase at 5% a year due to increased diesel fuel prices which will increase costs. Utilities are forecasted to increase at a trend of 5% for fiscal years 2015-2018. In 2010 the district began a series of new House Bill 264 Energy Conservation Projects. The project provides for the purchase of higher efficiency motors, VFD's, chillers and other energy conservation products, which are funded through borrowing, and ultimately paid through utility costs savings. The district borrowed the funds at less than a 1% interest rate. As a result, electricity and gas costs dropped 26% by FY 12, from FYI 0 levels. It is anticipated that it will increase approximately 67% in FY14, from FY I 0 levels, as the result of dramatic increases in Duke electric and gas distribution charges and eight new schools coming on line in FY13, which use far more electricity. The net result is a 41 % increase for FY14 over and above FYlO levels. 21

Transfers OutfAdvances OutfAll Other Financing Uses - Lines #5.010, #5.020 & #5.030 Non-operating costs are made up of transfers to other funds, contingencies and advances to other funds. Transfers are the permanent movement of cash from the General Fund to other funds as a result of obligations like debt or items which require that the actual expenditure be made from another fund but that General Fund provides the resources. Advances are temporary cash loans from the General Fund to other funds, which have insufficient cash flows to meet their obligations. These loans will be repaid by the other funds back to General Fund at a later time when resources have been received from the designated sources into the other fund.

Line #5.010 A) Transfers In 2009 the district began making transfers into the district's maintenance facility fund again. This was required as a result of the Facility Master Plan agreement with the Ohio School Facilities Commission (OSFC), which funded about 22% of the district's massive facility plan. The amounts required to be transferred were $6 million in 2009, $5 million in 2010 & 2011 and $7 million in 2012 and $9 million in 2013, and $15.3 million each year thereafter per the district's old revised plan agreement with OSFC. During FYl3, the administration worked with OSFC and came up with a new plan which allowed the District to fund the District maintenance facility fund at the same level as other schools in the State, which is equal to V2 mill of taxation. Because the plan called for this level of funding from the beginning, the District was able to reduce the required original F13 payment from $9 million to $795,716. Payments for FYl4 and beyond are now estimated at $3,426,692 rather than the $15.3 million required previously. In FYI2, the district transferred $7,934,675 to other fund, $7,000,000 of which was transferred into the district facility maintenance fund, Fund 34. In FYl3 the District transferred $919,234 to the District's Fund 34.

B) Contingency In previous years the forecasts contained a $4.6 contingency for unexpected district needs and staffing. It was placed under personal services since most of the costs were generally personnel and benefits. This amounted to about 1% of the total budget. Beginning with the October 2013 forecast, FY14 included $4.6 million of contingency in line 5.010 to allow for better tracking. With the May 2014, the $4.6 million contingency was moved to salaries to help cover the $6.5 million increase in staffmg. In addition to the normal contingency noted above, the district placed $10 million in the FY14 contingency to cover anticipated transfers to other funds to pay for costs in previous fiscal years which were the result of a payroll software issues discovered in FY13 and go back to FY12. In the May 2014 forecast $9.9 million of the $10 million was moved to line 5.03 to cover the adjustment which is now termed a "prior period adjustment" under "All Other Financing Uses." There are no contingencies contained in FY15-18 forecasts because of budgetary constraints.

Line #5.020 C) Advances Out In FYl3, $24,346,567 was advancedJIoaned to other funds. These funds were returned to General Fund in FY14. The FY13 advances out amount was much higher than normal as a result ofunusually high cash shortages in other funds, which was the result of the payroll 24

2014

software issue of previous years. Beginning in FY15 and thru the rest of the forecast period, the assumption is that the revenue from returning cash advances and advance out will equal and a base amount of$10.5 million will likely be needed each year to advance to other funds for cash flow needs. Line #5.030 D) All Other Financial Uses In FY14 $9.9 million in contingencies placed in line 5.01 were moved to cover prior period adjustments required by the payroll issue noted in line 5.01 above.
