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 April 23, 2015. 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 FY2016 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 FYE16 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. 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 south of Madison, Wisconsin; 90 miles east of Dubuque, Iowa; and 90 miles northeast 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 over the prior year. Employment needs are increasing and the unemployment rate decreased from 9.1% to 5.9% for Winnebago County. This is the lowest unemployment rate the region has seen since September 2007 when the rate was 5.7%. The number of employed individuals in the county is over 160,000. The region continues to expand and diversify its industrial base and employment opportunities. The Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) includes over 350,000 people. The region's low cost of living and competitive wage rates benefit both employer and employee. 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.

Overview and Economic Conditions (continued) 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 North American system. To better utilize the facility and to consolidate flights, UPS completed a $1 billion upgrade to the World Port facilities in Louisville which resulted in closing several sub-hubs throughout the country. RFD was never considered for closure and remains the back up to the Louisville World Port. UPS has informed RFD not to expect cargo increases for the next five years. RFD staff will meet with UPS executives in FY2016 to discuss future plans for the RFD facility. The most recent FAA cargo reports state RFD is the 25th largest cargo airport in the United States. Although the national average shows a 3.3% decrease in cargo activity, RFD saw a slight increase in gross landed weight for cargo in FY2015. Fees associated with cargo account for 28% of the operating revenue of the Authority. 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. The addition of the AAR Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facility will add further incentives for carriers who are considering RFD. Our strategic plan focuses on international cargo as a growth area. 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. FYE16 projects no increase in landed weight.

Overview and Economic Conditions (continued)

Passenger growth continues to be a high priority as outlined in the strategic plan. 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 82% of all seats currently available at RFD. Elite Airways begins service to New York and Fort Collins on August 27, 2015. Our goal is to increase the number of passengers and airlines. The Authority is making every effort to continue to build and grow passenger service. On the positive side, current lower fuel prices are beneficial to all air carriers. On the negative side, the threat of terrorism sometimes rises to a point where people become nervous of flying. The consolidation of the airline industry into four major carriers is a move to concentrate on the larger cities and in some cases, abandon smaller to mid-size cities. Domestic air services from RFD are likely to be supplied by small and new carriers. They will certainly look for help in startup of operations. Still we also drive our efforts to attract the majors. We continue to work at bringing international passenger service to RFD. Low cost airlines have been venturing into the long haul sectors during the past two years. We believe that the reduced costs of operating at RFD are very significant to low-cost-carriers. European and Latin American carriers have been approached by staff. RFD is projecting a 3% growth in passengers for the coming year.

Overview and Economic Conditions (continued)

The Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) program creates a partnership between American businesses 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 five additional applications anticipated during FYE16, with many more partners in the next two to three years.

Budget Summary The budget presented has many highlights discussed in subsequent sections. Operating revenue is budgeted at $5,532,811 for FYE16. There is an increase from the prior year budget in lease revenue with an offsetting decrease in airport fees. The decrease in the operating expenses is related to the same. Operating expenses are budgeted at $8,515,905 which is a 1.33% increase compared to the prior year budgets, primarily related to increased personnel services.

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 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. Beginning in 2007, UPS completed a $1 billion upgrade to the World Port facilities in Louisville which resulted in closing several sub-hubs throughout the country. RFD was never considered for closure and remains the back up to the Louisville World Port. 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. 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 (continued) 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 planned 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 (continued) 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. 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.

Page 21: CHICAGO ROCKFORD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT€¦ · Passenger Aviation – to provide a high level of hassle-free customer satisfaction with additional destinations in niche markets. General

Financial Policies (continued) 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.

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 is fully deferred at year-end because the tax levy will be used to fund expenses of the following year. 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.

15

Page 22: CHICAGO ROCKFORD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT€¦ · Passenger Aviation – to provide a high level of hassle-free customer satisfaction with additional destinations in niche markets. General

Financial Policies (continued)

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. Compensated Absences The Authority accrues vacation and sick pay benefits as earned by its employees. 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.

Page 23: CHICAGO ROCKFORD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT€¦ · Passenger Aviation – to provide a high level of hassle-free customer satisfaction with additional destinations in niche markets. General

Financial Policies (continued) 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

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.

Financial Policies (continued) Tax Rate The current tax rate for the Authority is budgeted at $.1063 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. 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.

Page 25: CHICAGO ROCKFORD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT€¦ · Passenger Aviation – to provide a high level of hassle-free customer satisfaction with additional destinations in niche markets. General

Financial Policies (continued) 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: 26 February 2015 Approve Tentative Budget and Appropriation Ordinance (Exhibit 1)

23 March 2015 Public Hearing Notice published in newspaper

23 April 2015 Public Hearing

23 April 2015 Approve Adoption of Budget and Appropriation Ordinance (Exhibit 5)

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. 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, 2014. This was the fourteenth 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 Authority has worked to diversify the revenue sources and work to grow the leasable opportunities at the airport. Operating revenues budgeted for FY2016 remain consistent with FY2015 revenue projections.

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.

Page 29: CHICAGO ROCKFORD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT€¦ · Passenger Aviation – to provide a high level of hassle-free customer satisfaction with additional destinations in niche markets. General

Revenues (continued)

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 $.1063 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, effects of weather patterns, and economic conditions affecting costs of good and services. Projections for the next three to five years show a moderate increase in the operating expenses.

Expenditures (continued) Personnel Services accounts for 46% 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 an 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. The Authority has pledged future rents received as the revenue source to repay $400,000 in general obligation alternate bonds issued in November 2014. 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 Schedule

Revenue Bonds Interest Expense Capital lease

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, 2015 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. 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 FYE16 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 $700,000 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 PFCs, including interest earned totaling $5,538,765.

Net Assets

Following is a summary of changes in net assets. The information is presented on a GAAP full accrual basis. The summary of net assets does account for these items and cannot be tied to other balances in this document. Income or loss before capital contributions is the net income or loss from the statement of revenue and expenses. Capital contributions are from Federal, State and grant programs for non-cash transfer of assets. The budget includes the net operating expense and net non-operating revenue which will combine with the depreciation for the year to make up the balance of the projected income before Capital Contributions.

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 $479,000.

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 $142,771 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.

The landfill closure fund balance is $1,139,122. 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 1,414,461 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 $1,496,325 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 $198,592. 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.

Operating Revenue Summary Revenue sources are grouped into five distinct categories: airport fees, lease revenues, airport service fees, AirFest revenues and other and is further broken down within each category. This breakdown allows a comparison of variable revenues (airport fees and AirFest) vs. fixed revenues (lease revenue).

Airport fees – airside, $1,937,637. 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 788 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 FYE16. 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 remain consistent with the FYE15 projected year end amounts.

Operating Revenue Summary (continued) Lease revenue – on airport, $1,390,003. 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, $603,700. 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 decrease based on current leases in place. Efforts are underway to increase leased properties during the current fiscal year. AirFest revenue, $625,000. 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, $255,625. 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 – $510,847. 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 seven 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.

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.

Business Development Department Summary Business and Cargo development are continuing to move forward with more awareness in the global community, which has led to test flights. As of FY2016, the Business Development department also has responsibility for Air Service Development. We will continue to market to the airlines, but add more specific targeted marketing towards the Freight Forwarders both locally, as well as abroad. This process will be a push-pull process since each group can affect the overall decision to move. Because of the importance of meeting face-to-face, staff will be traveling a considerable amount this coming year.

Airside Projects $ 70,000

Landside Projects 275,000

Terminal Projects 700,000

Administration Projects 150,000

Maintenance Projects 16,500

Total Capital Improvements $1,211,500

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. Projected FYE16 CIP capital expenditures are as follows and detail of individual items to follow. Airside Projects Airside projects include improvements for runways, taxiways, aprons, and buildings inside the airfield fence. Ramp Repairs In continuation of the pavement maintenance program. These areas include but are not limited to the FIS, Terminal, Main ramp, and South Cargo areas. This work will fix the spalling of the concrete and also remove and replace the joint material that is creating FOD. With the increase in passenger flights, and usage of these ramps, repairs are needed to allow safe operation of all aircraft operating in or transitioning through the area.

Total Project Cost $70,000
