At the same time, S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'AA' rating on the city's GO debt outstanding. The outlook is stable. Security and purpose Brooklyn Center's unlimited -tax GO property tax pledge secures the 2019A bonds. As additional security, the city has pledged special assessments and net water, sewer, and storm drainage revenues. The 'AA' rating is based on the unlimited -tax GO pledge, which we view as the stronger pledge. Bond proceeds will be used to finance street and utility improvements. The series 2019B bonds are secured by lease payments made by the city to the EDA pursuant to the lease, which is subject to annual appropriation. We lower the rating by one notch to account for additional appropriation risks. The debt service payments are on Feb. 1 and Aug. 1; money for the Feb. 1 payments will be appropriated in the budget that begins Jan 1. We believe that late budget adoption is mitigated because the city typically will adopt the budget in early December and we believe that the risk of late budget adoption is extremely remote due to the city's charter requiring a budget to be adopted three days prior to the tax levy certification to the state. Bond proceeds will be used to acquire property and build a new municipal liquor store. We do not believe there is construction risk in this instance because the lease -purchase agreement states that debt service is to be paid irrespective of the status of the project. The city intends to pay the lease payments through liquor store revenue. Credit summary Like much of the Twin Cities area, Brooklyn Center has a growing economy, but it still has below -average incomes when compared with the nation. This is offset by the strong, forward -looking management team, as evidenced the WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT 79 AUGUST 8, 2019 2 Summary: Brooklyn Center, Minnesota; Appropriations; General Obligation extremely consistent financial results, very healthy fund balance, and a debt burden that is more moderate than that of many of the city's peers. The ratings reflect our assessment of the following factors, including our view of the city's: • Adequate economy, with market value per capita of $78,865 and projected per capita effective buying income (EBI) at 70.0%, but that is benefitting from access to a broad and diverse metropolitan statistical area (MSA); • Very strong management, with strong financial policies and practices under our Financial Management Assessment (FMA) methodology; • Strong budgetary performance, with a slight operating surplus in the general fund and an operating surplus at the total governmental fund level in fiscal 2018; • Very strong budgetary flexibility, with an available fund balance in fiscal 2018 of 64% of operating expenditures; • Very strong liquidity, with total government available cash at 55.0% of total governmental fund expenditures and 4.6x governmental debt service, and access to external liquidity we consider strong; • Adequate debt and contingent liability profile, with debt service carrying charges at 12.1% of expenditures and net direct debt that is 120.60% of total governmental fund revenue, as well as rapid amortization, with 88% of debt scheduled to be retired in 10 years; and • Strong institutional framework score. Adequate economy We consider Brooklyn Center's economy adequate. The city, with an estimated population of 31,688, is located in Hennepin County in the Minneapolis -St. Paul -Bloomington MSA, which we consider to be broad and diverse. The city has a projected per capita EBI of 70.0% of the national level and per capita market value of $78,865. Overall, the city's market value grew by 14.7% over the past year to $2.5 billion in 2019. The county unemployment rate was 2.5% in 2018. We have revised our view of Brooklyn Center's economy to adequate from weak, based on an increase in the city's projected per capita EBI to above 70% of the national level (we do not view this as a material change in the city's economy). The city is about nine miles from the downtown Minneapolis -St. Paul MSA and encompasses about 8.5 square miles. Brooklyn Center's tax base is a mix of residential (49.5%) and commercial and industrial (36.7%) properties. The city has continued to see strong growth in residential property valuation, which has spurred recent market value growth. Based on current trends and management's forecasts for continued growth in residential and commercial property valuation, we expect consistent growth in the tax base in the near term. Brooklyn Center has a preliminary agreement with a developer for an 80-acre, mixed -use area that includes housing, entertainment, and retail, within a federal opportunity zone. The city's financial investment in this area is not yet determined but would likely not include additional debt, loans, or cash transfers. Very strong management We view the city's management as very strong, with strong financial policies and practices under our FMA methodology, indicating financial practices are strong, well embedded, and likely sustainable. WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT 80 AUGUST 8, 2019 3 Summary: Brooklyn Center, Minnesota; Appropriations; General Obligation We have revised our opinion of the FMA to strong from good based on the newly adopted debt management policy, which we consider to be a more robust policy governing the issuance of debt with limits lower than required by state law that are tied to the budget, restrictions on risky debt instruments, and monitoring the use of bond proceeds by holding them in distinct accounts. In developing its budget, the city prepares a two-year budget with the help of five years of historical information for revenues and expenditures. In addition, officials provide budget -to -actual results monthly to the council. The city can amend the budget if necessary. While management does not maintain a formal long-term financial plan, it prepares a thorough two-year budget for all departments, revenues, and funds, which is discussed with the council. The city has established a formal long-term capital plan that is 15 years long. The plan is updated each year and presented to the council with identified sources and uses. Brooklyn Center has its own investment policy and the council is updated monthly on holdings and investment performance. The city's official reserve policy is to maintain a general fund unassigned fund balance of 50%-52% of the ensuing year's budgeted general fund expenditures to ensure sufficient cash flow needs. Strong budgetary performance Brooklyn Center's budgetary performance is strong, in our opinion. The city had slight surplus operating results in the general fund of 1.0% of expenditures, and surplus results across all governmental funds of 12.0% in fiscal 2018. General fund operating results have been stable over the past three years, with a result of negative 0.4% in 2017 and a result of 1.4% in 2016. Our analysis of the city's budgetary performance reflects adjustments made for recurring transfers and the spending of bond proceeds. The city's primary sources of general fund revenues are property taxes (75.8%); the next -biggest source is intergovernmental revenues (7.3%). For fiscal 2018 (Dec. 31), the city posted a $200,000 surplus, after transfers primarily to the capital projects fund. Officials indicate that building permit revenue outperformed the budget by approximately $400,000. For fiscal 2019, Brooklyn Center has budgeted for break-even operations in the general fund, and we understand the city is on track to achieve a surplus, similar to the previous year. With regard to total governmental fund performance in fiscal 2019, we expect similar results to 2018, after adjustments for one-time capital expenditures and the spending of bond proceeds. Based on current forecasts, we anticipate that the city will likely maintain a strong level of budgetary performance. Very strong budgetary flexibility Brooklyn Center's budgetary flexibility is very strong, in our view, with an available fund balance in fiscal 2018 of 64% of operating expenditures, or $13.8 million. We expect the available fund balance to remain above 30% of expenditures for the current and next fiscal years, which we view as a positive credit factor. The available fund balance includes $11.5 million (53.3% of expenditures) in the general fund and $2.3 million (10.6% of expenditures) that is outside the general fund but legally available for operations. In analyzing Brooklyn Center's budgetary flexibility, we have included the city's cash and cash equivalents available in the liquor fund, as they are considered available for general fund operations. The liquor fund balance will decline in fiscal 2019 following a reduction in the fund balance policy to two months of expenditures from 3.5 months to help fund the liquor store construction. We understand that the city transfers any excess of 52% fund balance in the general fund to the capital projects fund pursuant to its reserve policy. We believe the city's available fund balance as a percentage of expenditures will remain very strong. WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT 81 AUGUST 8, 2019 4 Summary: Brooklyn Center, Minnesota; Appropriations; General Obligation The city has additional unrestricted available fund balance in the special assessment construction fund of $1.5 million; we didn't include this in our budgetary flexibility analysis but it may be available for operations. Very strong liquidity In our opinion, Brooklyn Center's liquidity is very strong, with total government available cash at 55.0% of total governmental fund expenditures and 4.6x governmental debt service in 2018. In our view, the city has strong access to external liquidity if necessary. We have adjusted Brooklyn Center's total government available cash and investments to exclude investments with a maturity greater than one year, amounts restricted for debt service, economic development funds, and bond proceeds. We believe that the city has strong access to external liquidity, having issued GO debt within the past 20 years, which demonstrates access to capital markets. The city is not subject to any contingent liability risks that could significantly impact its cash position in the near term. We do not consider Brooklyn Center's investments to be aggressive, as it primarily invests in certificates of deposit and federal agency notes. We expect the city's liquidity position will remain very strong during the next few years. Adequate debt and contingent liability profile In our view, Brooklyn Center's debt and contingent liability profile is adequate. Total governmental fund debt service is 12.1% of total governmental fund expenditures, and net direct debt is 120.6% of total governmental fund revenue. Approximately 88% of the direct debt is scheduled to be repaid within 10 years, which is, in our view, a positive credit factor. We reduced the city's overall debt burden by $18.36 million to reflect GO bonds that are fully paid from enterprise funds. We understand that Brooklyn Center plans to issue up to $14 million in additional debt over the next two years for various capital projects. But the city will repay $14 million of debt over the next two years, so we believe our view of its debt will be consistent. The city is not a party to any alternative financing. Brooklyn Center's combined required pension and actual other postemployment benefits (OPEB) contributions totaled 4.9% of total governmental fund expenditures in 2018. The city made 105% of its annual required pension contribution in 2018. The city participates in two cost -sharing, multiple -employer pension plans, the General Employees Retirement Fund (GERF) and the Public Employees Police and Fire Fund (PEPFF), which are administered by the Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota. Required pension contributions to these plans are determined by state statute. Statutory contribution rates have generally not kept pace with actuarially determined contribution rates, indicating potential for future payment acceleration. For more information about the reforms included in the 2018 omnibus retirement bill and the potential for future cost increases, see our bulletin "Minnesota's New Pension Bill Is A Positive Step Toward Sustainable Funding," published June 7, 2018, on RatingsDirect. The GERF and PEPFF were 79.5% and 88.8% funded, respectively, in fiscal 2018. Brooklyn Center's proportionate WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT 82 AUGUST 8, 2019 5 Summary: Brooklyn Center, Minnesota; Appropriations; General Obligation share of the net pension liability for these plans totaled $11.2 million in fiscal 2018, the most recent year for which data is available. We believe the city has sufficient taxing and operational flexibility to manage future increases in pension contributions. However, in the future, if pension contributions absorb a larger share of the city's budget, our view of its debt and contingent liability profile could weaken. The city also participates in the Brooklyn Center Fire Department Relief Association, a single -employer pension plan. In fiscal 2018, the plan was 131% funded. The city funds OPEB on a pay-as-you-go basis. As of Jan. 1, 2018, the most recent actuarial valuation, its unfunded actuarial accrued liability was $2.0 million. Strong institutional framework The institutional framework score for Minnesota cities with a population greater than 2,500 is strong. Outlook The stable outlook reflects our view that Brooklyn Center will maintain its very strong budgetary flexibility and, at least, adequate debt and contingent liability profile. We do not expect to revise the rating within the two-year outlook period. The city's access to the broad and diverse Minneapolis -St. Paul -Bloomington MSA provides additional support to the rating. Downside scenario We could lower the rating if Brooklyn Center's budgetary performance or its debt and contingent liability profile were to weaken, causing the city's overall credit conditions to deteriorate to a level no longer consistent with the current rating. Upside scenario We could raise the rating if the city's economic indicators were to improve to levels commensurate with those of higher -rated peers.
