Introductory Section

December 16, 2022 
Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council, City Manager, and Citizens of the City of Chandler:
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report of the City of Chandler, Arizona (the City), for the year ended June 
30, 2022, is hereby submitted in accordance with City Charter and State statutes. Both the City Charter and State 
statutes require that the City issue annually a report on its financial position and activity, and that this report be 
audited by an independent certified public accountant. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the data and the 
completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the City’s management. To 
the best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed data is accurate in all material respects and is reported in a 
manner that fairly presents the financial position and results of operations of the various funds and component 
units of the City.
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America require that management 
provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form 
of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the 
MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City of Chandler’s MD&A can be found immediately 
following the report of the independent auditors.
The City is required to undergo an annual single audit in conformity with the provisions of the Single Audit Act of 
1996 and U.S. Office of Management and Budget Uniform Guidance. Information related to this single audit, 
including a schedule of expenditures of federal awards, the independent auditors’ reports on the internal 
control structure and compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and a schedule of findings and 
questioned costs are included in a separately issued report.
GOVERNMENTAL STRUCTURE, LOCAL ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK
The City, incorporated on February 17, 1920, is located in the southeastern portion of Maricopa County, and 
encompasses approximately 65 square miles. The City has operated under a council-manager form of 
government since May 25, 1964, and is governed by the City Council, consisting of a mayor and a six member 
council. Councilmembers are elected at-large on a staggered basis; the mayor and councilmembers are elected 
for four-year terms and are limited to two consecutive terms in office. The City Council is vested with policy and 
legislative authority, and is responsible for passing ordinances, adopting the annual budget, appointing 
committees, commissions, and board members, and appointing the positions of City Manager, City Attorney, 
City Clerk, and City Magistrate. The City Manager is responsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances of 
the City Council, as well as overseeing the day-to-day operations of the City.
Chandler is the fourth largest city in Arizona and is one of several major cities comprising the greater Phoenix 
metropolitan area, which is the economic, political, and population center of the State of Arizona. The City’s 
population has experienced remarkable growth over the past 25 years, increasing by 99 percent, from an 
estimated 142,486 in 1997 to 282,873 in 2022, based on intercensal population estimates published by the State 
of Arizona. The City’s manufacturing sector has been a major driver of economic growth during this time and 
includes high-tech industrial companies such as Intel Corporation, Northrop Grumman, Microchip Technology, 
and NXP Semiconductors. These four companies combine to employ over 17,000 people in the City. Total 
manufacturing employment is over 25,000 with many companies in the supply chain also operating in Chandler. 
Another industry that has experienced strong growth is financial services with companies such as Wells Fargo, 
Bank of America, GM Financial Services and Allstate establishing corporate offices in Chandler. Information 
technology is another growth industry with Insight Enterprises Inc., a Fortune 500 company, recently relocating 
its corporate headquarters to Chandler.

The City boasts a strong labor market serving the high technology field’s demand for skilled workers. Chandler’s 
median age is 36 years, and the median household income is $96,948. In addition, 77 percent of the adult 
population has a college degree or some college education. Nearly 25 percent of jobs in Chandler are in high 
technology fields while the national average is about 10 percent, according to data from the Maricopa 
Association of Governments and Bureau of Labor Statistics. The City’s unemployment rate averaged 2.8 percent 
during fiscal year 2021-22 compared with 3.0 percent for Maricopa County and 3.7 percent for the State of 
Arizona.
The City’s sales tax revenues, which comprise over 55 percent of its general fund, increased by 14 percent for 
fiscal year 2021-22 from the prior year actuals. The City continues to strengthen its financial position and has 
benefitted from ongoing and one-time revenues created by increased retail spending and new development, 
including the $20 billion Intel expansion that kicked off in February 2022. With increased operating revenue 
growth anticipated, managing costs of services during a time of inflation and higher cost of personnel in the 
market is critical. As the City ages, maintaining existing infrastructure is also a focus to ensure quality amenities 
for residents and businesses. Consistently applying sound financial practices, achieving notable economic 
development successes, and having a structured plan to pay-down its Public Safety Personnel Retirement 
System (PSPRS) unfunded liability have helped the City continue its strong financial position while maintaining 
its AAA General Obligation Bond credit rating from all three ratings agencies.
The City enters into tax abatement agreements as part of economic development programs.  Long-term impacts 
from tax abatements are considered immaterial.  Additional tax abatement details are included in Note 18.
The City of Chandler’s continued goal is to provide the highest quality services to the community in the most 
cost-effective manner. These services include Public Safety: Police and Fire; Community Services: Park and 
Recreation and Libraries; Cultural Development: Center for the Arts and Museum; Public Works: Streets and 
Traffic; Utilities: Water, Wastewater, Reclaimed Water and Solid Waste; Neighborhood Resources; Development 
Services; Airport; Tax and Licensing and numerous internal services.  The Council’s strategy to achieve these 
results is through goals to improve Chandler in a coordinated manner and to make fiscally responsible decisions 
that will continue to strengthen the City. The Chandler Industrial Development Authority, the Chandler Cultural 
Foundation, and the Chandler Museum Foundation are three legally separate entities, all of which are reported 
separately within the City's financial statements.  Additional detail on these entities can be found in Note 1.
The City Council’s strategic goals are:
•
Being the Most Connected City
Connect our community using enhanced communication technologies to share information by 
increasing electronic availability of City information. Increase community connectivity through 
enhancing multimodal transportation.
•
Being a Leader in Trust and Transparency
Provide timely and accurate data and reports to maintain accountability and provide support for 
effective decision making. Promote opportunities that encourage City engagement and input.

and the development industry as a premiere location for new investment. Coordinate and facilitate the 
revitalization of Downtown Chandler

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Internal Control Structure
Management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed 
to ensure that the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft, or misuse and to ensure that adequate 
accounting data are compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The 
4

internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these objectives 
are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that: (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the 
benefits likely to be derived and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by 
management.
As a recipient of federal, state, and county financial assistance, the City is also responsible for ensuring that an 
adequate internal control structure is in place to ensure and document compliance with applicable laws and 
regulations related to these programs. This internal control structure is subject to periodic evaluation by 
management and various other City staff, as needed.
Single Audit
As a part of the City’s single audit, described earlier, tests were made of the City’s internal control structure and 
of its compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including those related to federal financial assistance 
programs.
Budgetary Controls
The City maintains budgetary controls as an integral part of its overall system of internal controls. The objective 
of these budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated 
budget approved by the City Council. Activities of the general fund, special revenue funds, capital projects funds, 
enterprise funds, internal service funds, and fiduciary funds are included in the annual appropriated budget. 
The level of budgetary control (i.e., the level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated 
amount) is the total budget, as adopted (FY 2021-22, $1.058 billion). The City additionally exercises management 
control and oversight of the budget at the department level within each fund and maintains an encumbrance 
accounting system as another method of maintaining budgetary control. Encumbered amounts do not lapse at 
fiscal year-end and appropriation equal to the amount of year-end encumbrances are added to the current year 
budget in each cost center. Expenditures against those encumbrances are charged to the current year 
appropriation.
As demonstrated by the statements and schedules included in the financial section of this report, the City 
continues to meet its responsibility for sound financial management.
OTHER INFORMATION
Independent Audit
City Charter and State statute require an annual audit by a firm of independent certified public accountants and 
the firm of Heinfeld, Meech & Co., P.C. has been selected by the City to uphold this requirement. In addition to 
meeting the requirements set forth in City Charter and State statutes, the audit was also designed to meet the 
requirements of the federal Single Audit Act of 1996 and the related U.S. Office of Management and Budget’s 
Uniform Guidance. Auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards set 
forth in the General Accountability Office’s Government Auditing Standards were used by the auditors in 
conducting the engagement. The auditor’s report on the basic financial statements is included in the financial 
section of this report. The auditor’s reports on internal controls and compliance with applicable laws and 
regulations can be found in a separately issued single audit report.
Financial Awards
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of 
Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Chandler, Arizona, for its Annual Comprehensive 
Financial Report for the year ended June 30, 2021, marking the fortieth consecutive year the City has received 
the GFOA Certificate of Achievement. The Certificate of Achievement is a prestigious national award recognizing 
conformance with the highest standards for preparation of a municipal government financial report.
In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a governmental unit must publish an easily readable and 
efficiently organized Annual Comprehensive Financial Report whose contents conform to program standards. 
Such reports must satisfy both GAAP and applicable legal requirements.
5

Additionally, the City of Chandler was also awarded the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the fiscal 
year beginning July 1, 2021 from the GFOA, marking the thirty-fourth consecutive year of receiving this award. 
The award reflects the commitment of staff to meeting the highest principles of governmental budgeting.
In order to be awarded a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, the City had to satisfy nationally recognized 
guidelines for effective budget presentation. The guidelines are designed to assess how well an entity’s budget 
serves as a policy document, financial plan, operational guide, and communications device. The City’s budget 
presentation receives an outstanding rating in many of the areas rated.
The Certificate of Achievement and Distinguished Budget Presentation Awards are valid for a period of one year 
only.
We believe our current Certificate of Achievement report continues to conform to the Certificate of Achievement 
program requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA.

Independent Auditor’s Report 
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council 
City of Chandler, Arizona 
Report on Audit of Financial Statements 
Opinions 
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-
type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate discretely presented component units and 
remaining fund information of the City of Chandler, Arizona (the “City”), as of and for the year ended 
June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s 
basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the 
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major 
fund, and the aggregate discretely presented component units and remaining fund information of the 
City of Chandler, Arizona, Arizona, as of June 30, 2022, and the respective changes in financial 
position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with 
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 
Basis for Opinions 
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States 
of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing 
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.  
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the 
Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of City of 
Chandler, Arizona, Arizona, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the 
relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have 
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit  opinions. 
Change in Accounting Principle  
As described in Note 1, the City implemented the provisions of the Governmental Accounting 
Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 87, Leases, for the year ended June 30, 2022, which 
represents a change in accounting principle. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. 
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements 
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in 
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for 
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair 
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or 
error. 
11

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are 
conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability 
to continue as a going concern for one year beyond the financial statement date, including any 
currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter 
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements 
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole 
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report 
that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute 
assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally 
accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material 
misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is 
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there 
is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made 
by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with 
generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, we: 

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such
procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements.

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is
expressed.

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall
presentation of the financial statements.

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the
aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern
for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, 
the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related 
matters that we identified during the audit. 
Other Matters 
Required Supplementary Information 
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis, budgetary comparison information, net pension liability 
information, and other postemployment benefit plan information, be presented to supplement the basic 
financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of 
the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who 
considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in 
an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited 
procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally 
accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the 
methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with 
management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we 
obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide 
any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient 
evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
12

Supplementary Information 
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that 
collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The Other Financial Statements, as listed 
in the table of contents, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part 
of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was 
derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the 
basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in 
the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and 
reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare 
the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional 
procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 
In our opinion, the Other Financial Statements, are fairly stated in all material respects, in relation to 
the basic financial statements as a whole.   
Other Information 
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other 
information comprises the Introductory Section and Statistical Section but does not include the basic 
financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements 
do not cover the other information and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon. 
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other 
information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and 
the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 
If, based on other work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the 
other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report. 
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards 
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated 
December 16, 2022, on our consideration of City of Chandler, Arizona’s internal control over financial 
reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and 
grant agreements and other matters.  The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our 
testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and 
not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting or on 
compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government 
Auditing Standards in considering City of Chandler, Arizona’s internal control over financial reporting 
and compliance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (MD&A)
(Required Supplementary Information)
15

16

As management of the City of Chandler (City), we offer readers of the City’s financial statements this narrative 
overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. We encourage 
readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have 
furnished in our letter of transmittal beginning on page one and the accompanying notes to the financial 
statements.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The financial statements, which follow the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, provide these significant, key 
financial highlights for fiscal year 2022 as follows:
•
The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of
resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $1.58 billion (net position). This represents an
increase of $58.0 million from the prior year.  Factors that have contributed to this are increases in
equity in pooled cash and investments due to higher sales taxes and state shared revenue collections
from strong development and consumer spending, as well as related inflation impacts, the recognition of
new lease receivables based on the new GASB statement 87,  and an increase in deferred outflows of
OPEB and pension plan items.  These items are offset by increases to total bonds outstanding after
selling bonds at the end of 2021, an increase in the City's recognized OPEB liability, and higher unearned
revenue amounts. Of this amount, $347.1 million (unrestricted net position) may be used to meet the
City’s obligations to citizens and creditors. However, $69.4 million is invested in a joint venture with the
Town of Gilbert, which decreased $4.6 million from the prior year, and is not available for obligations.
•
At June  30, 2022, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $472.7
million, an increase of $49.7 million in comparison with the prior year primarily due to increases in sales
taxes and state shared revenue collections.  Much of this change is attributed to healthy development
and retail sales combined with inflationary pressures leading to higher average sales which increases tax
receipts. The largest driver is the $20 billion expansion of Intel Corporation and other related
development within Chandler. This has created significant increases in transaction privilege taxes in
many tax categories. Approximately 58.6 percent of the total amount, $277.2 million, is available for
spending at the City’s discretion (assigned or unassigned).
•
At June 30, 2022, total fund balance for the general fund was $282.0 million which represents an increase
of $39.4 million from the prior year; again this is primarily due to increases in sales taxes and state
shared revenues as noted previously.
•
General revenues from governmental activities accounted for $320.1 million, or 75.5 percent of all
revenues from governmental activities as opposed to 74.7 percent in the prior year. Program specific
revenues in the form of charges for services and grants and contributions accounted for $104.1 million
or 24.5 percent of total governmental activity revenues, as opposed to 25.3 percent in the prior year. The
City had $157.4 million of program revenues ($162.7 million in the prior year) and $(3.7) million in
general revenues and transfers ($3.0 million in the prior year) related to business-type activities.
•
At June 30, 2022, the City’s proprietary funds reported combined total net position of $789.2 million  as
compared to $788.4 million in the prior year, as restated; an increase for the current year of $0.7 million.
The increase in net position is a result of keeping expenses in check year over year to offset a reduction
in revenue and transfers received in the business type funds. This results in a total unrestricted net
position of $283.5 million, of which $144.9 million of the unrestricted net position is in the water fund.
OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements. The 
City’s basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund 
financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary 
information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.

Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide 
readers with a broad overview of the City’s finances in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City’s assets, liabilities, and deferred inflows/
outflows of resources with the difference reported as net position. Net position is categorized as capital assets 
less related debt, restricted by an outside third party and unrestricted. Over time, increases or decreases in net 
position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or 
deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the City’s net position changed during the most 
recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the 
change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this 
statement for some items that will result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned 
but unused compensated absences).
In the government-wide financial statements the City’s activities are presented in the following categories:
•
Governmental activities - Most of the City’s basic services are included here, such as general 
government, public safety, transportation and development and community services. Sales taxes, state 
shared revenues and charges for services finance most of these activities.
•
Business-type activities - The services provided by the City included here are water, wastewater, 
reclaimed water, solid waste, airport services and housing services. The services are financed through 
user fees and charges.
•
Component units - The discretely presented component units are the Chandler Industrial Development 
Authority,  the Chandler Cultural Foundation and the Chandler Museum Foundation.
Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over 
resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City uses fund accounting to ensure 
and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided 
into two categories: governmental funds and proprietary funds.
Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported 
as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-
wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows of spendable 
resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such 
information may be useful in evaluating the City’s near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial 
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar 
information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, 
readers may better understand the long-term impact of the City’s near-term financing decision. Both the 
governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and 
changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds 
and governmental activities.
The City maintains 20 individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the 
governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and 
changes in fund balances for the general fund, grants special revenue fund and general obligation bonds 
debt service fund, which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other 17 governmental funds are 
combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-major 
governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements and schedules in the financial section 
of this report.

The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for the general, special revenue, general obligation and 
highway user revenue debt service, capital projects and proprietary funds. Budgetary comparison 
statements have been provided in the basic financial statements for the general, general government capital 
projects and general obligation bonds debt service funds to demonstrate compliance with the budget. 
Budgetary comparison schedules for other non-major special revenue and non-major capital projects funds 
are also included in the financial section.
Proprietary funds. The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to 
report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial 
statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its water, wastewater, reclaimed water, solid 
waste, airport and housing services. Internal service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and 
allocate costs internally among the City’s various functions. The City uses an internal service fund to account 
for its self-insurance funds. Because self-insurance funds are funded predominantly by governmental 
functions rather than business-type functions, it has been included within governmental activities in the 
government-wide financial statements. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the 
government-wide financial statements, only in more detail.
The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the water and wastewater funds, 
which are considered to be major funds of the City. Data from the other three enterprise funds are 
combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of the non-major enterprise 
funds are provided in the form of combining statements and schedules in the financial section of this report.
Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full 
understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the 
financial statements can be found immediately following the basic financial statements in this report.
Other information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also 
presents certain required supplementary information concerning the City’s budget process. The City adopts an 
annual budget for all governmental and enterprise funds. A budgetary comparison schedule has been provided 
for the General Fund as required supplementary information.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. In the case of the 
City, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $1.58 
billion as of June  30, 2022. This reflects continued strong operations in governmental activities, reduced 
expenses in governmental activities and decreases in long-term liabilities within governmental and business-
type activities.
A significant portion of the City’s net position (63.8 percent) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land and 
improvements, buildings and improvements, improvements other than buildings, vehicles, machinery and 
equipment, water rights and construction in progress), less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is 
still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to its citizens; consequently, these assets 
are not available for future spending. Although the City’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of 
related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other 
sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
An additional portion of the City’s net position (14.3 percent) represents resources that are subject to external 
restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net position (21.9 percent) includes 
$69.4 million which is invested in a joint venture with the Town of Gilbert that may not be used to meet the City’s 
obligations to citizens and creditors.

At the end of the current fiscal year, the City is able to report positive balances in all three categories of net 
position: net investment in capital assets, restricted and unrestricted. The same situation held true for the prior 
fiscal year.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A)
Year Ended June 30, 2022

As evidenced in the previous graph, the largest financing source for the City is charges for services at 35.27 
percent, associated with the user fees (i.e., water, wastewater) and charges for services. Sales taxes and state 
shared revenues (i.e., sales tax, urban revenue sharing) also comprise a significant portion of the City’s revenues 
at 31.56 percent and 15.09 percent, respectively, of the total revenues with property taxes accounting for an 
additional 6.86 percent of the City’s total revenues.
The City as a whole uses the largest amount of resources for general government functions (i.e. cultural 
development, information technology, neighborhood resources, law, etc.) at 30.29 percent of the total functional 
expenses of the City. The next largest users of resources are public safety and wastewater at 20.18 percent and 
12.15 percent, respectively, with water accounting for 11.81 percent of the City’s total expenses.
Governmental activities. The increase in governmental net position totaled $57.3 million for the year ended 
June 30, 2022 compared with an increase of $13.2 million in the prior year. This increase is primarily in the sales 
tax and state shared revenues, mainly due to healthy development and retail sales combined with inflationary 
pressures leading to higher average sales which increases tax receipts. The largest driver is the $20 billion 
expansion of Intel Corporation and other developments within Chandler, which has created significant increases 
in transaction privilege taxes in many tax categories.  Additionally, overall expenditures have decreased.
Business-type activities. The increase in business-type net position totaled $0.7 million for the year ended 
June 30, 2022 compared with an increase of $12.4 million in the prior year. This increase is a result of keeping 
expenses in check offset by a reduction in revenue and transfers from the prior year.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY’S FUNDS
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal 
requirements.
Governmental funds. The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term 
inflows, outflows and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s 
financing requirements. Fund balances are reported on a hierarchy of five classifications based on spending 
constraints in order to provide better consistency and clarification. These classifications include nonspendable, 
restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned. The spendable balances are the restricted, committed, 
assigned and unassigned fund balances. Additional information on fund balances and their classifications can be 
found in Note 9 of the financial statements.
The financial performance of the City as a whole is reflected in its governmental funds. As the City completed the 
year, its governmental funds reported a combined fund balance of $472.7 million, an increase of $49.7 million in 
comparison with the prior year increase of $7.8 million. Approximately $277.2 million (58.6 percent) of this 
amount is combined assigned and unassigned balances, all which may be spent at the City’s discretion. The total 
compared to the prior years’ assigned and unassigned balances of $232.6 million represents an increase of 
$44.6 million.
The remainder of the fund balance comprising of nonspendable and restricted balances amounts to $195.5 
million (41.4 percent of the total fund balance). The nonspendable balance consists of inventories and prepaid 
amounts. The restricted balance is constrained for specific purposes imposed by external parties or enabling 
legislation. The total compared to the prior years’ nonspendable and restricted balances of $190.5 million 
represents an increase of $5.0 million. This increase is primarily due to the issuance of $31.3 million in General 
Obligation bonds in December 2021, combined with continued spending of bond proceeds in the general 
government,  community services and streets capital projects funds netting to the increase of $5.0 million.
The general fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current fiscal year, assigned and 
unassigned fund balance of the general fund was $279.6 million, while total fund balance reached $282.0 
million. As a measure of the general fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare both assigned and unassigned

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A)
Year Ended June 30, 2022 
23

fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Assigned and unassigned fund balance 
represents 1.14 coverage of total annual general fund expenditures. The amount of fund balance is well above 
the City’s contingency reserve financial policy, allowing the funding of other reserves (e.g., economic 
development, capital projects and compensated absences). The City’s general fund balance  increased by $39.4 
million during the current fiscal year primarily due to increases in sales taxes and state shared revenues 
received mainly due to healthy development and consumer spending, compounded by inflation. The largest 
driver is the $20 billion expansion of Intel Corporation and related development within Chandler, which has 
drove significant increases in transaction privilege taxes in many tax categories.  Interest revenue has a large 
loss due to the increased interest rates rising steadily throughout the fiscal year and the associated realized and 
unrealized losses on long term investments held by the city.  Transfers from the general fund to other funds also 
decreased in the current fiscal year due to the one-time nature of the transfers in FY 2020-21 and spending of 
federal grant funds received.
The grants special revenue fund accounts for the receipt and expenditure of miscellaneous federal, state and 
local grants awarded to the City for various specific operational purposes. The fund balance restricted for grants 
special revenue fund activities decreased by $4.3 million during the current fiscal year.  This change represents 
the usage of grant funding (i.e., AZ Cares and American Rescue Plan Act) that has been received in prior fiscal 
years. 
The general obligation bonds debt service fund accounts for the accumulation of resources for and payments of 
general obligation bonded debt. The fund balance restricted for general obligation debt service payments 
decreased by $1.5 million during the current fiscal year. The decrease is due to increased debt service payments 
made during the fiscal year based on the defined debt service payment schedules and offset by repayment of 
interfund transfers of $7.5 million and lower debt interest payments due to bond refunding for the year ended 
June 30, 2022. 
Proprietary funds. The City’s proprietary funds, which include enterprise and internal service funds, provide the 
same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. Net position 
for the enterprise funds and the internal service funds at the end of the fiscal year amounted to $789.2 million 
and $31.8 million, respectively, compared to $788.4 million, as restated and $33.4 million in the prior fiscal year. 
The enterprise funds increase is primarily due to a reduction of overall expenditures compared to prior year and 
combined with revenues that fell to a larger degree against prior year revenues, 
The enterprise funds net position is 35.9 percent unrestricted compared to 38.0 percent in the prior fiscal year. 
Unrestricted net position of the water fund at the end of the year amounted to $144.9 million, and those for the 
wastewater fund amounted to $117.4 million, compared to $152.0 million and $127.6 million in the prior fiscal 
year.
BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
For the 2021-22 budget year, the City of Chandler continued to engage in fiscally responsible budgeting 
practices, adhered to financial policies, and used conservative budgeting as the anticipated economic impacts of 
the COVID-19 pandemic were removed from the budget to show actual economic activity in the City. With a 
continued conservative mindset, the City Council adopted a balanced budget for 2021-22 that removed the 
reductions added to mitigate any COVID-19 impacts, and added back in spending for a variety of operating and 
capital needs.  Overall planned capital expenditures increased as additional projects were added to address our 
aging infrastructure and one-time revenues were applied to select capital projects and planned Public Safety 
Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) unfunded liability pay down. The City’s major sources of General Fund 
revenues include Local Sales Tax (Transaction Privilege Tax), Voter Approved Local Revenue (also known as State 
Shared Revenue) and Urban Revenue Sharing (State Shared Income Tax).
As has been the City’s practice, the budget and revenue forecast distinguished between ongoing and one-time 
revenues and ensured related spending was also aligned. The City’s 2021-22 budget included various salary

adjustments based on agreements between bargaining units and the City, and merit and market adjustments for 
general employees. Other ongoing costs, such as maintenance, utilities and supplies were managed closely to 
ensure they could be covered with ongoing revenues.
The FY 2021-22 budget continued to emphasize adherence to strong financial policies allowing the City Council 
to maintain the General Fund contingency reserve at 15 percent of anticipated annual General Fund operating 
revenue. And finally, the City Council continued the designated Budget Stabilization Reserve in the amount of 
$10 million to provide the opportunity to utilize the reserve to balance the General Fund budget in the future for 
no more than three consecutive years, should state legislation, operational changes in tax collections, 
unexpected decreases in property values, or other economic conditions cause revenues to suddenly decrease.
CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital assets. As of June 30, 2022, the City had invested over $1.0 billion in capital assets net of related debt, 
including buildings, system improvements, vehicles, machinery and equipment, water rights and infrastructure 
assets. Total depreciation expense for the year was $101.7 million.
During fiscal year 2021-22, the City completed several street improvements projects, most notably a project 
totaling $3.4 million on Old Price Road near the Intel Corporation FAB 42 plant. It should be noted that the City 
infrastructure needed to support the $20 billion Intel Corporation expansion is being offset through 
reimbursements by Intel Corporation and the Arizona Department of Revenue under A.R.S. Title 42.  The City 
also purchased several public safety equipment assets totaling $467 thousand dollars and remodeled space in 
the Neighborhood Resources Department to add a new bathroom facility for the un-housed in Chandler.  Work 
has also begun, or continues, on a number of governmental activity projects including street projects to improve 
Cooper Road ($8.9 million added in FY 22) and Alma School Road ($2.3 million added in FY 22), parks projects 
including costs accrued to complete Phase 2 of the Veterans Memorial ($3.7 million added in FY 22) and Lantana 
Ranch Park ($2.3 million added in FY 22).  Business-type activities have seen an increase in construction in 
progress due to work that has been started to relocate utilities along Chandler Heights Road totaling $3.8 million 
in FY 22 and $22.3 million in work to increase the capacity of the wastewater facility servicing the Intel 
Corporation FAB 42 plant.

State statutes also currently limit the amount of general obligation debt a city may issue to 6 percent of its total 
assessed valuation for all other purposes. The current debt limitation for the City is $300.8 million. The City has 
$6.1 million of outstanding general obligation debt for this purpose.
As of year-end, the City’s current bond ratings on general obligation bonds were Aaa from Moody’s Investor 
Services, AAA from Standard & Poor’s, and AAA from Fitch Ratings. Excise tax revenue obligation bonds were 
rated Aa1 from Moody’s Investor Services, AAA from Standard & Poor’s and AAA from Fitch.
Additional information on the City’s long-term debt can be found in Note 5 of the financial statements.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGET
Adopting a balanced budget for the next fiscal year (2022-23) required the combined efforts of citizens, the City 
Council, Executive Leadership team, and staff members throughout the organization. As the financial impacts 
anticipated during the FY 2021-22 budget year were stronger than anticipated, additional considerable thought 
and measured change was incorporated into the Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget. The budget contains a variety of 
increases to revenues and expenditures to mitigate inflationary pressures being felt across all departments, and 
allows for a continued focus on providing high service levels and quality infrastructure in a cost effective way.

This year again included diligent monitoring of legislative bills that could impact our ongoing revenues, as well as 
focused review of expenditure impacts that could potentially cause higher costs if not contained. This included 
the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) rates and its unfunded liability, minimum wage 
increases, retirement vacancies which have become increasingly harder to fill, additional staff or contract needs, 
workers’ compensation self-insurance claims, fleet and equipment sustainability, aging infrastructure, and 
addressing various capital needs under a higher construction cost environment. 
Even though general economic conditions are anticipated to continue at their current levels, and potentially 
increase during the budget year, the City is still conservative in its approach and continues to look for efficiencies 
to manage expenditure growth. The budget increased from $1.058 billion in 2021-22 to $1.35 billion (an increase 
of 27.8 percent) in 2022-23, due to appropriation remaining for grant funding received during FY 2021-22, 
significant carryforward of capital projects, and new capital projects identified to aid in the expansion of a large 
regional employment partner, Intel Corporation. With the addition of appropriation, the total operating budget is 
increasing from $412 million to $493 million. The total new capital appropriation is increasing from $113 million 
to $310 million, as the City continues a healthy capital improvement program to ensure existing infrastructure is 
well maintained and the needs of residents can be met, and added projects related to development agreements. 
With a 6.9 percent increase in Limited Property Values (including 5.4% of that from new growth), the City Council 
chose to reduce the primary property tax rate from $0.2426 to $0.2326, and keep the secondary property tax 
rate at $0.87 per $100 of assessed valuation. This planned rate reduction will help minimize the impact of higher 
values on property owner’s tax payment.
The 2022-23 Budget does not include bond sales as we plan sales every-other year.  Additionally, the City Council 
maintained the General Fund operating contingency at 15 percent of General Fund operating revenues to 
provide a buffer for emergencies or to support new opportunities such as unanticipated grants or development 
agreements. Chandler continues maintaining and adhering to strong financial policies, has updated the Pension 
Funding Policy to ensure ongoing focus on managing pension costs, and remains in a solid financial position to 
continue its tradition of strong fiscal management as reflected by its AAA GO bond ratings with all three rating 
agencies which were reaffirmed in November of 2021.

Deferred amounts on refundings are not financial resources and, therefore, are 
not reported in the funds.
 
5,640,328 
Deferred outflows related to pensions and OPEB are not financial resources 
and, therefore, are not reported in the funds.
 110,846,030

City of Chandler 
Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and 
Changes in Fund Balances to the Government-wide Statement of Activities
For the year ended June 30, 2022 
Net Change in Fund Balances - Total Governmental Funds
$ 49,657,237 
Governmental activities in the Statement of Activities were reported differently 
because:
Governmental funds report capital outlay as expenditures. However, in the 
Government-wide Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities, the cost of 
those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense. 
This is the amount of capital assets recorded in the current period.
 35,394,963 
Depreciation expense on capital assets is reported in the Government-wide 
Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities, but they do not require the 
use of current financial resources. Therefore, depreciation expense is not reported 
as an expenditure in the governmental funds.
 (53,895,688) 
Some items reported in the governmental funds are sources and uses of current 
financial resources and therefore are not reported as revenues or expenses in the 
Statement of Activities. These items include:
Principal payments on debt
 32,887,716 
Face amount of bonds issued
 (58,244,909) 
Bond premium
 (2,160,918) 
Bond payment to escrow agent
 26,716,745 
Pension related items
 30,237,509 
Other post employment benefits related items
 (2,671,175) 
 26,764,968 
Accrued interest payable, bond premium allocation and allocation of deferred 
outflows from bond refundings related to long-term debt is recognized as an 
expense in the Statement of Activities, however is not recognized in the 
governmental funds because it is not payable from current financial resources.
 1,088,361 
Gain or Loss on sale of capital assets in the statement of activities do not provide 
current financial resources and therefore are not reported as revenues in the 
governmental funds
 
(564,242) 
Compensated absence expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not 
require the use of current financial resources and therefore are not reported as 
expenditures in the governmental funds.
 
538,850 
Certain revenues in the governmental funds that provide current financial 
resources are not included in the Statement of Activities because they were 
recognized in a prior period. However, other revenues that are unavailable in the 
governmental  funds because they do not provide current financial resources due 
to unavailability are recognized in the Statement of Activities.
 
(556,231) 
Capital assets contributed by developers to the City are not recorded in the 
governmental funds as they do not provide current financial resources but are 
recognized in the Statement of Activities as program revenues.
 
446,699 
The internal service fund is used by management to charge the costs of certain 
activities, such as insurance, to individual funds. The change in financial position of 
the internal service fund is reported with governmental activities.

The City of Chandler (City) was incorporated on February 17, 1920. On May 25, 1964, voters ratified a City 
charter providing for a Council-Manager form of government. The government of the City is operated by 
authority of its charter, as limited by the state legislature. A seven-member council, including a separately 
elected mayor, governs the City.
The following notes to the financial statements are an integral part of the City’s financial statements.
NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies and procedures of the City conform to accounting principles generally accepted in 
the United States of America (GAAP) as applied to governmental entities. The Governmental Accounting 
Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting 
and financial reporting principles.
The more significant of the City’s accounting policies are described below.
A.
Reporting Entity
As required by GAAP, these financial statements present the City and its component units, i.e., entities for 
which the City is considered to be financially accountable and/or exercise significant influence over 
operations. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are in substance part of the City’s 
operations, and therefore data from these units are combined with data of the City. The City’s discretely 
presented component units, on the other hand, are reported in a separate column in the basic financial 
statements, to emphasize that they are legally separate from the City. The component units discussed below 
are included in the City’s reporting entity because of the significance of their operational and/or financial 
relationships with the City. Each component unit has a June 30 year-end.
1.
Blended Component Unit
The City of Chandler Municipal Property Corporation (Corporation) is a nonprofit corporation which 
exists solely for the purpose of constructing or otherwise acquiring or equipping buildings, structures, or 
improvements on land owned by the City for the benefit, common good, and general welfare of the City 
and its citizens. The Chandler City Council appoints the five members of the Board, who are responsible 
for approving the Corporation’s bond sales. Additionally, all bond sales must be submitted to and 
approved by the City Council. All financial activities are reported within the enterprise funds of the City. 
Unaudited financial statements for the Corporation are available from the City of Chandler, 
Management Services Department, P.O. Box 4008, MS 702, Chandler, AZ 85244-4008.
2.
Discretely Presented Component Units
The component unit columns in the basic financial statements include the financial data of the Chandler 
Industrial Development Authority (Authority), the Chandler Cultural Foundation (Cultural Foundation), 
and the Chandler Museum Foundation (Museum Foundation).
The Authority is responsible for the issuance of tax-exempt bonds for qualified projects approved by the 
Authority and the City Council. The Authority has a seven-member board of directors appointed by the 
City Council. The City is able to impose its will on the Authority inasmuch as the City Council must vote to 
ratify the actions of the Authority with regard to the issuance of bonds. The accounting records of the 
Authority are maintained by the City and are available from the City of Chandler, Management Services 
Department, P.O. Box 4008, MS 702, Chandler, AZ 85244-4008.
CITY OF CHANDLER, ARIZONA
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2022 
44

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
The Cultural Foundation oversees the operations of the Chandler Center for the Arts for the selection 
and scheduling of performances, other facility use, and general policy setting activities. The City is able 
to significantly influence its operations. Specifically, the Cultural Foundation’s budget is annually 
reviewed and approved by the City Council and the Cultural Foundation’s nine-member Board is 
appointed by the City Council. Financial statements for the Foundation are available from the Chandler, 
Cultural Foundation, 250 N Arizona Ave, Chandler, AZ 85225.
The Museum Foundation oversees the operations of the Chandler Museum for the selection and 
scheduling of performances, other facility use, and general policy setting activities. The City is able to 
significantly influence its operations. Specifically, the Museum Foundation’s budget is annually reviewed 
and approved by the City Council and the Museum Foundation’s nine-member Board is appointed by 
the City Council. Financial statements for the Museum Foundation are available from the Chandler 
Museum Foundation,  300 S Chandler Village Dr., Chandler, AZ 85226.
B.
Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (e.g., the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of 
Activities) present financial information about the City as a whole. The reported information includes all of 
the nonfiduciary activities of the City and its component units. For the most part, the effect of interfund 
activity has been removed from these statements. These statements are to distinguish between the 
governmental and business-type activities of the City. Governmental activities normally are supported by 
taxes and intergovernmental revenues, and are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely 
to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or 
segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a 
specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who 
purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment 
and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a 
particular function or segment. Taxes, state shared revenues, investment income, and other items not 
included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major individual 
governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund 
financial statements.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial 
statements. Exceptions to this general rule are payments where the amounts are reasonably equivalent in 
value to the interfund services provided, and other charges. Elimination of these charges would distort the 
direct costs and program revenues reported.

Government-wide Financial Statements - The government-wide financial statements are reported using 
the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary 
fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability 
is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the 
year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility 
requirements imposed by the grantor or provider have been met. As a general rule, the effect of interfund 
activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements; the exception is any interfund 
activity between governmental and business-type activities, such as transfers. Interfund services provided 
and used are not eliminated.

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
Fund Financial Statements - Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current 
financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are 
recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available 
when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current 
period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of 
the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as 
under accrual accounting. However, debt service resources are provided during the current year for 
payment of long-term debt principal and interest due early in the following year (not to exceed one month) 
and, therefore, the expenditures and related liabilities have been recognized. Compensated absences and 
claims and judgments are recorded only when payment is due.
Property taxes, sales taxes, franchise fees, licenses and permits, charges for services, special assessments 
and investment income associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to 
accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Grants and similar awards are 
recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the grantor or provider have been 
met. Miscellaneous revenues are not susceptible to accrual because generally they are not measurable until 
received in cash.
Grants and similar awards received before the eligibility requirements are met are recorded as unearned 
revenue. Cash receipts received in advance of being billed have also been reported as unearned revenue on 
the governmental fund financial statements. Special assessments and delinquent property taxes have been 
recorded as deferred inflows of resources.   Grant and similar awards received more than 60 days after the 
end of the current fiscal period have been recorded as deferred inflows of resources.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund - This fund accounts for all financial resources of the City, except those required to be 
accounted for in other funds.
Grants Special Revenue Fund - This fund is used to account for the receipt and expenditure of miscellaneous 
federal, state and local grants awarded to the City for various specific operational purposes.
General Obligation Bonds Debt Service Fund - This fund accumulates monies for the payment of principal 
and interest requirements of the City’s tax supported general obligation bonds. Revenues for repayment are 
generated from secondary property taxes.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
Water Fund - This fund is used to account for the provision of water services to the residents of the City and 
certain county residents within the City’s municipal boundaries. All activities necessary to provide such 
service are accounted for in this fund.
Wastewater Fund - This fund is used to account for the provision of wastewater services to the residents of 
the City and certain county residents within the City’s municipal boundaries. All activities necessary to 
provide such service are accounted for in this fund.

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
Additionally, the City reports the following fund type:
Internal Service Fund - Internal Service Funds are established to account for financing of goods and services 
provided by one department or agency to other departments or agencies of the City on a cost 
reimbursement basis. The  Internal Service Fund consists of Self Insurance Funds that administer the City’s 
self-insured property, liability, health, dental, short-term disability and workers’ compensation insurance 
programs.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating 
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in 
connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the 
City’s internal service fund are interfund transfers from the general fund for property and liability insurance 
and charges to user departments for premiums related to health, dental, workers’ compensation and short-
term disability self-insurance. The principal operating revenues of the City’s enterprise funds are user fees 
and charges to customers for water, wastewater, solid waste, airport services and public housing grants. 
Operating expenses for these funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, 
depreciation, claims and premiums. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as 
nonoperating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use restricted 
resources first where allowable and then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
The focus of governmental fund financial statements is on major funds rather than reporting funds by type. 
Each major fund is presented in a separate column. Non-major funds are aggregated and presented in a 
single column. Internal service funds are combined and the totals are presented in a single column on the 
face of the proprietary fund statements. 
D. Budgeting and Budgetary Control
The City Council formally adopts an annual operating budget for the general, special revenue, debt service, 
capital projects, enterprise and internal service funds, excluding the special assessment bonds debt service 
fund.
The level of control at which expenditures may not exceed budget is by department. Upon written request 
by the City Manager, the City Council has the authority to transfer part or all of any unencumbered 
appropriation balance from one department to another per City Charter requirement. The City Manager and 
department heads have the authority to transfer appropriations between divisions and expenditure 
categories within departments. Appropriations totaling $33,321,565 were transferred from the contingency 
reserves within the general, special revenue, capital project and internal service funds.
All appropriations expire at the end of the fiscal year except for encumbered and capital improvements 
carryforward appropriations. Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts and other 
commitments for the future expenditure of funds are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the 
related fund balance, is employed in the governmental and proprietary fund types. Encumbrances 
outstanding at year-end are reported as part of restricted fund balance for governmental and proprietary 
funds (excluding the general fund) unless a negative fund balance is reported. If negative, encumbrances 
are reported as part of unassigned fund balance. Carryforwards for capital improvement projects are 
reported as part of assigned fund balance at year-end and encumbrances in the general fund are reported 
as part of unassigned fund balance. Significant encumbrances for the general fund are $8,028,012, for grant 
special revenue fund are $7,251,308, for water enterprise fund are $25,369,465, for wastewater enterprise 
fund are $55,086,537, and for non-major governmental funds are $68,981,089.

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
The budgets are adopted on a basis differing from generally accepted accounting principles in that for 
budgetary purposes: (1) current year encumbrances are treated as expenditures; (2) bond proceeds for 
proprietary funds are considered revenue; (3) capital outlays for enterprise funds are treated as 
expenditures; (4) debt service principal payments are treated as expenditures for enterprise funds; (5) 
accrued compensated absences are not recognized as expenditures; (6) depreciation and amortization are 
not recognized as expenditures; (7) estimated landfill closure and post closure costs are not recognized as 
expenditures until incurred; (8) sales tax collected by merchants but not yet required to be remitted at the 
end of the fiscal year is not recorded as revenue; and (9) investments are recorded at cost.
On June 3, 1980, the voters of Arizona approved an expenditure limitation for all local governments. This 
limitation restricts the growth of expenditures to a percentage determined by population and inflation, with 
certain expenditures excluded from the limitation. Through a Home Rule option, any city can adopt its own 
alternative expenditure limitation if a majority of the qualified electors vote in favor of the issue at a regular 
election.  On August 2, 2022, the City of Chandler voters approved to continue under Home Rule for the next 
four years.
E.
Pooled Cash and Investments
City Charter, Ordinance, and Trust Agreements authorize the City to invest in obligations guaranteed by the 
full faith and credit of the United States of America, government sponsored enterprises, government bonds 
with minimum credit ratings of Aa or AA, commercial paper with a minimum short-term rating of P1 or A1, 
negotiable certificates of deposit, corporate bonds carrying a minimum credit rating of A, repurchase 
agreements and the Local Government Investment Pool. The City of Chandler Municipal Property 
Corporation is additionally authorized to invest in banker’s acceptances, U.S. Corporate obligations rated 
Aa3 and AA or better, full faith and credit general obligations or special revenue bonds of any state or 
political subdivision rated AAA and Aaa, Refcorp interest strips and money market funds.
Nonparticipating interest-earning investment contracts are stated at cost. Money market investments and 
participating interest investment contracts with a remaining maturity of one year or less at time of purchase 
are stated at amortized cost. All other investments are stated at fair value.
Cash resources of the City are combined to form a pool of cash and investments. Excluded from this pool 
are the cash and investments of the Chandler Health Care Benefits Trust, Workers’ Compensation and 
Employer Liability Trust, Chandler Industrial Development Authority, Chandler Museum Foundation and the 
Chandler Cultural Foundation. Interest earned on the pooled cash and investments is distributed each 
month on the basis of average monthly equity in the pool.
F.
Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end 
of the fiscal year are referred to as either “due to/from other funds” (i.e., the current portion of interfund 
loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans).
The water, wastewater and solid waste enterprise funds use the direct write-off method for bad debts and 
therefore do not have an allowance for uncollectible accounts. All other funds’ trade receivables are shown 
net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Trade accounts receivable in excess of 90 days comprise the 
trade accounts receivable allowance for uncollectible accounts.
Amounts due from other governments include receivables from other governmental entities including, but 
not limited to federal, state, or county entities. At year-end the receivables included $7,312,893 due from the 
federal government for grants and $4,586,980 due from the State of Arizona for shared revenues and 
grants, $43,260 due from Maricopa County for grants and $13,735 due from other governmental agencies.

G. Inventories
Inventories are stated at average cost using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories are recorded as 
expenses/expenditures when consumed in the government-wide financial statements and governmental 
and proprietary fund financial statements, respectively.
H. Prepaid Items
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as 
prepaid items under the purchases method.
I.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, 
sidewalks and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities 
columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with 
an initial, individual cost of $10,000 or more and an estimated useful life of more than one year. Such assets 
are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital 
assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation. The City defines general government 
infrastructure capital assets included in capital improvement projects completed at year’s end in excess of 
$100,000.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend 
assets’ lives are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as 
projects are completed.
Estimated useful lives for capital assets were determined based on the City’s historical experience and 
various industry standards. Capital assets of the City are depreciated using the straight-line method over the 
following estimated useful lives:
Assets
Years
Buildings
20-40
Building improvements

Infrastructure
12-50
Machinery and equipment
5-15
System improvements

Water rights
1-99
J.
Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position includes a separate section for deferred outflows of 
resources.  Deferred outflows of resources represent a consumption of net assets that applies to a future 
period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then.  The 
City has two items that qualify for reporting in this category: the deferred charge on refunding reported in 
the government-wide statement of net position and deferred amounts related to pension and OPEB. The 
deferred charge on refunding resulted from the difference between the carrying value of the refunded debt 
and its reacquisition price.  This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the 
refunded or refunding debt. The deferred amounts related to pension and OPEB relate differences between 
estimated and actual investment earnings, changes in actuarial assumptions and other pension and OPEB 
related changes.

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position includes a separate section for deferred inflows 
of resources. Deferred inflows of resources represent an acquisition of net assets that applies to future 
period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time.  The City has 
three items that qualify for reporting in this category. Unavailable revenue is reported only in the 
governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from property 
taxes, special assessments and leases. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of 
resources in the period that the amounts become available. In the government-wide financial statement the 
City reports deferred amounts related to OPEB and pension plan items and leases.
K.
Compensated Absences
Vacation leave vests with the employee as it is earned dependent on accumulated time and the individual’s 
vacation benefits associated with their rank within the City. All employees may carryforward only the 
amount of vacation benefits equal to the maximum allowable earned credits for the preceding calendar 
year. Upon termination or retirement, an employee will be compensated for accumulated vacation leave 
dependent on accumulated time and the individual's vacation benefits associated with their rank within the 
City. Payment will be based on the individual's rate of pay at termination or retirement. Upon death, the 
same benefits shall be paid to the employee's beneficiary. The amount, including related benefits, for 
accumulated vacation leave is reported on the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. 
A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a 
result of employee leave, resignations or retirements. Generally, resources from the general fund are used 
to pay for compensated absences.
Sick leave benefits provided for ordinary sick pay are not vested with the employee. Upon retirement, an 
employee will be compensated for 50 percent of accumulated sick leave. Payment will be based on the 
monthly compensation paid to the employee at the time of retirement and paid into a Retirement Health 
Savings Plan. Upon death, the same benefits shall be paid to the employee's beneficiary.
L.
Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund statements, long-term debt and other 
long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental or business-type activities 
and proprietary fund Statement of Net Position. Bond related items, such as premiums and discounts, are 
deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Bond issuance costs are 
expensed in the current period.
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as 
bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other 
financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while 
discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld 
from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
The debt service funds are specifically established to account for and service the long-term obligations for 
the governmental funds and special assessment debt. Each enterprise fund individually accounts for and 
services the applicable bonds and lease purchase obligations which benefit these funds. Long-term 
obligations are recognized as a liability of a governmental fund when due or when resources have been 
accumulated for payment early in the following year. For other long-term obligations, only the portion that is 
expected to be financed from expendable available financial resources is reported as a fund liability of a 
governmental fund.

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
M. Fund Balance
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balances as nonspendable, restricted, 
committed, assigned and unassigned. Nonspendable, restricted and committed classifications represent 
“reserved” fund balances whereas assigned and unassigned classifications represent “unreserved” fund 
balances (see Note 9 for additional details). 
N. Capital Contributions
Capital contributions, as shown in the enterprise funds, represent federal and state grants received, 
subdividers’ costs of installing water mains, water service connections installed at the customers’ expense 
and transfers of equipment from governmental funds. Capital contributions are shown as an inflow of 
resources in both the government-wide and fund financial statements (see Note 8).
O. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of 
resources related to pensions and pension expense, information about the pension plan’s fiduciary net 
position and additions to/deductions from the plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the 
same basis as they are reported by the plan. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of 
employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. 
Investments are reported at fair value.
P.
Post-Employment Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits
In addition to providing pension benefits, the City allows for continuance of certain health care and life 
insurance benefits for retired employees. Substantially all of the City's employees may become eligible for 
those benefits if they are eligible to receive a retirement pension when leaving employment with the City. 
The cost of retiree health care and life insurance premiums is borne both by the retiree and the specific 
retirement plan under which they participated. There is no direct cost paid by the City.
Q. Statements of Cash Flows
The City considers all highly liquid investments (including restricted assets) with an original maturity of three 
months or less to be cash equivalents. In the statements of cash flows, cash receipts and payments are 
classified according to whether they stem from operating, noncapital financing, capital and related financing 
or investing activities.
R.
Interfund Activity
Flows of cash from one fund to another without a requirement for repayment are reported as interfund 
transfers. Interfund transfers between governmental funds are eliminated in the Statement of Activities. 
Interfund transfers in the fund statements are reported as other financing sources/uses in governmental 
funds and after non-operating revenues/expenses in proprietary funds.
S.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make 
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of 
contingent 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.

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, concluded
T.
Leases
As lessor, the City of Chandler recognizes lease receivables with an initial, individual value of $100,000 or 
more. If there is no stated rate in the lease contract (or if the stated rate is not the rate the City charges the 
lessee) and the implicit rate cannot be determined, the City uses its own estimated incremental borrowing 
rate as the discount rate to measure lease receivables.
U. Implementation of New Accounting Standards
During the year ended June 30, 2022, the City implemented the provisions of Governmental Accounting 
Standards Board Statements No. 87, Leases. This Statement increases the usefulness of the financial 
statements by requiring recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for leases that previously were 
classified as operating leases. The statement establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the 
foundational principle that leases are financings of the right to use an underlying asset. Under this 
Statement, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and an intangible right-to-use lease asset, and a 
lessor is required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources. The City's analysis of 
contracts and agreements in effect at the beginning of the year resulted in no changes to beginning 
balances reported in the financial statements due to the implementation of this standard. 
NOTE 2 - Cash and Investments
The City maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all funds, except for the Chandler  
Industrial Development Authority, the Chandler Cultural Foundation, the Chandler Museum Foundation, and 
the Chandler Health Care Benefits Trust. Each fund’s portion of this pool is displayed on the financial 
statements as Equity in Pooled Cash and Investments. Pooled cash and investments are stated at fair value 
with accrued interest shown separately. Restricted cash and investments are amounts held separately by 
trustees and amounts segregated due to their source and future intent. In addition, the Industrial 
Development Authority, the Chandler Cultural Foundation, the Chandler Museum Foundation, separately 
hold investments and are not included in the subsequent disclosures.
Deposits
At year-end, cash on hand was $45,675, the carrying amount of the City deposits was $378,132, and the 
bank balance was $4,804,773. Of the bank balance, $250,000 was covered by federal depository insurance 
and $4,554,773 was covered by collateral held in the pledging bank’s trust department in the City’s name. In 
addition, at June 30, 2022, the City had $96,568,535 of restricted cash held by paying agent consisting of 
$63,857,234 in July  1, 2022 debt service payments, $1,728,587 in unspent bond proceeds from the 2019  
Excise Tax Revenue Obligation issuances, and $30,982,714 from the 2017, 2019 and 2021 General Obligation 
Bond issuances. The cash held by paying agent is in money market funds invested primarily in short-term 
U.S. Treasury securities.
Fair Value Measurements. The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy 
established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used 
to measure the fair value of the asset.
•
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
•
Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs
•
Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs

NOTE 2 - Cash and Investments, concluded
Investment Valuation Techniques. U.S. treasuries, agencies, money market, and equity securities classified in 
Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using prices quoted in active markets for identical securities. 
Governmental bonds, corporate bonds, other fixed income instruments, and international bonds classified 
in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued based on significant other observable inputs, which may 
include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted 
prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted 
prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatility, 
prepayment speeds, loss severity, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs.
Interest Rate Risk. In accordance with its investment policy, the City manages its exposure to declines in fair 
values by limiting the maturities of its investment portfolio to five years.
Credit Risk. The City’s investment policy allows for investments in obligations guaranteed by the full faith and 
credit of the United States of America, government sponsored enterprises, government bonds with 
minimum credit ratings of AA+ or Aaa, commercial paper with a minimum short-term rating of A-1 or P-1, 
negotiable certificates of deposit, corporate bonds carrying a minimum credit rating of A-, repurchase 
agreements and the Local Government Investment Pool. The City’s investment in U.S. Agencies, Corporate 
Bonds and Money Market Funds were rated no lower than AAA, BBB+ and AAAm by Standard & Poor’s, 
respectively, as of June 30, 2022.
Custodial Credit Risk - Investments.  The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the 
failure of the counterparty to a transaction, the City will not be able to recover the value of its investments 
or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party.  To limit its exposure, the City's 
investment policy requires all security transactions that are exposed to custodial credit risk to be processed 
on a delivery versus payment (DVP) basis with the underlying investments held by a third party acting as the 
City's agent separate from where the investment was purchased or by the trust department of the bank 
where purchased, in the City's name.
Concentration of Credit Risk. The City’s investment policy does not allow for an investment in any one issuer 
that is in excess of five percent of the City’s total investments. Securities issued by the United States of 
America or its agencies are exempt from this provision. More than 5 percent of the City’s investments are in 
U.S. Agencies, U.S. Treasuries and Money Market Funds. See percentages in table on preceding pages.
NOTE 3 - Property Taxes
The City’s property tax is levied and collected by the Maricopa County Treasurer. Property taxes are levied 
on or before the third Monday in August. The levy is based upon the January 1 limited property tax value of 
property as determined by the Maricopa County Assessor. Under Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.), two 
assessed valuations are used. One is for primary taxes (used to fund operating expenditures) and the other 
is for secondary taxes (used to meet general obligation debt service requirements). Taxes are due in two 
equal installments on October 1 and March 1 following the levy date and are delinquent on the first day of 
November and May, respectively. Delinquent amounts bear interest at the rate of 16 percent.
The City also levies various personal property taxes during the year, which are due the second Monday of 
the month following receipt of the tax notice, and become delinquent 30 days thereafter.
Pursuant to A.R.S. a lien against assessed real and personal property attaches on the first day of January 
preceding assessment and levy; however according to case law, an enforceable legal claim to the asset does 
not arise.

NOTE 3 - Property Taxes, concluded
The State Constitution and State law specify a property tax levy limitation system.  The system consists of 
two levies, a limited levy known as the primary property tax levy and an unlimited levy referred to as the 
secondary levy, which may only be used to retire bonded indebtedness. There is also a control on the 
assessed value of property for primary tax purposes. The base year for the tax system is fiscal year 1979-80. 
From this base year, two assessed values evolve. The primary assessed values are allowed to increase by no 
more than 5 percent a year. The dollar amount of the secondary property tax levy is "unlimited" and the 
actual limited property value of property is used in determining the tax rate.
The primary tax levy is limited to an increase of 2 percent over the previous year's maximum allowable 
primary levy, plus an increased dollar amount because of a net gain in property not taxed the previous year. 
Also, the primary property tax from all taxing jurisdictions for homeowners may not exceed 1 percent of the 
market value of their homes. If the combined primary property tax (for the City, County, School District, etc.) 
exceeds 1 percent of the market value of the homes, the school districts will reduce their rate until the 
homeowners' aggregate rate is equal to or less than the allowable 1 percent. The State will then subsidize 
the school districts for the reduced revenue. This 1 percent limitation applies to primary property taxes only 
and does not affect the secondary property tax levy.
In fiscal year 2021-22, current property tax collections were $38,437,603 or 100 percent of the tax levy, and 
were recognized as revenue when received. At fiscal year end, the delinquent property tax expected to be 
collected within 60 days is recognized as revenue and recorded as a receivable. Property taxes levied in 
August 2022 are not available for fiscal year 2021-22; accordingly, such taxes will not be recognized as 
revenue until fiscal year 2022-23.

Projects are reported as construction in progress when initially identified.  Throughout the life of the project, 
it may be determined that the project does not meet the requirements for capitalization.  Once a project is 
determined to not meet the requirements for capitalization it is removed from construction in progress.  As 
a result, deletions and transfers out from construction in progress may be more than what is reported as 
additions and transfers in to depreciable capital assets.

NOTE 5 - Long-Term Liabilities
A.
General Obligation Bonds
The City issues general obligation bonds to provide funds for the acquisition and construction of major 
capital facilities. General obligation bonds have been issued for both governmental and business-type 
activities. Bonds issued for business-type activities are reported in the enterprise funds as they are to be 
repaid from enterprise revenues. In addition, general obligation bonds have been issued to refund other 
general obligation bonds. General obligation bonds are direct obligations and pledge the full faith and credit 
of the City. These bonds are generally issued as 10 to 15 year serial bonds, except for refunding issues, with

Excise Tax Revenue Obligations
Excise tax revenue obligations are issued to provide funds to acquire and construct certain improvements to 
the water and sewer systems of the City and to pay the costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the 
obligations. The City has collateralized the obligations by the pledge of all unrestricted excise taxes 
(transaction privilege tax, franchise fees, state-shared sales and income taxes and fees for licenses and 
permits) including all fines and forfeitures, which the City presently or in the future imposes or receives from 
other entities and which are not earmarked by the contributor for a contrary or inconsistent purpose.
The City agrees that, so long as any of the obligations remain outstanding and their principal and interest 
are unpaid, it will not further encumber the excise taxes unless the excise taxes received by the City in the 
immediately preceding fiscal year are at least three times the highest combined debt service for the current 
or any succeeding fiscal year for all outstanding parity obligations, including the additional parity obligations 
proposed be secured by a pledge of the same excise taxes. The City does have the right to incur additional 
parity obligations payable from and secured by the excise taxes on parity with the obligations.
Annual principal and interest payments on the obligations are being repaid from net water and wastewater 
system revenues and were approximately 36% percent of net system revenues. The total principal and 
interest to be paid on the obligations is $259,993,807. Principal and interest paid for the current year and 
net water and wastewater system revenues were $19,020,495 and $52,405,370 respectively. Total excise tax 
revenues during the fiscal year were $283,209,384. Principal and interest payments were less than 7 percent 
of total excise tax revenues.

Special Assessment Bonds with Governmental Commitment
As trustee for improvement districts, the City is responsible for collection of assessments levied against the 
owners of property within the improvement districts and for disbursement of these amounts for retirement 
of the respective bonds issued to finance the improvements. At June  30, 2022, the special assessments 
receivable, together with amounts paid in advance and interest to be received over the life of the 
assessment period, are adequate for the scheduled maturities of the bonds payable and related interest. 
Special assessment bonds are collateralized by properties within the districts. In the event of default by the 
property owner, the City may enforce an auction sale to satisfy the debt service requirements of the bonds. 
The City is contingently liable on special assessment bonds to the extent that proceeds from auction sales 
are insufficient to retire outstanding bonds.

NOTE 6 - Defeased Debt
Current Year Defeasance
On December 1, 2021, the City issued $48,205,000 in General Obligation Refunding Bonds with an average 
interest rate of 1.68 percent.  This issuance was used to advance refund $43,320,000 of Series 2014 General 
Obligation Refunding Bonds with an average interest rate of 4.25%.  The advanced refunding portion of the 
total net proceeds totaling $47,787,943 (after payment of $417,057 in underwriting fees, insurance, and 
other issuance costs) was used to purchase $47,787,078 in U.S. government securities.  Those securities 
were deposited in an irrevocable trust with an escrow agent to provide for future debt service payments on 
the 2014 General Obligation Refunding Bonds.  As a result the liability for these bonds has been removed 
from the government-wide and statement of net assets.  The refunding issuance resulted in a deferred 
outflow of $3,552,964.  This difference will be allocated to operations through the fiscal year 2028 using the 
straight-line amortization method.  The City completed the refunding to decrease its total debt service 
payments over the next 7 years by $1,583,329 and to obtain an economic gain (difference between the 
present values of the old and new debt service payments) of $1,510,831.
On December 1, 2021, the City also issued $85,460,000 in Excise Tax Revenue Refunding Bonds with an 
average interest rate of 2.06 percent.  This issuance was used to advance refund $78,600,000 of Series 2013 
Excise Tax Revenue Bonds with an average interest rate of 4.46 percent.  The advanced refunding portion of 
the total net proceeds totaling $84,816,508 (after payment of $643,492 in underwriting fees, insurance, and 
other issuance costs) was used to purchase $84,815,823 in U.S. government securities.  Those securities 
were deposited in an irrevocable trust with an escrow agent to provide for future debt service payments on 
the 2013 Excise Tax Revenue Bonds.  As a result the liability for these bonds has been removed from the 
government-wide and statement of net assets.  The refunding issuance resulted in a deferred outflow of 
$1,918,671.  This difference will be allocated to operations through the fiscal year 2033 using the straight-
line amortization method.  The City completed the refunding to decrease its total debt service payments 
over the next 12 years by $8,554,041 and to obtain an economic gain (difference between the present values 
of the old and new debt service payments) of $7,621,519.

NOTE 7 - Landfill Closure and Postclosure Costs
State and federal laws and regulations require the City to place a final cover on its landfill site when it stops 
accepting waste and to perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions at the site for thirty years 
after closure. In addition to operating expenses related to landfill activities through its closure date (October 
1, 2005), an expense provision and related liability has been recognized based on the future closure and 
postclosure care costs to be incurred near or after the date the landfill no longer accepts waste. The 
recognition of these landfill closure and postclosure care costs is based on the amount of the landfill used 
during the year. As of June 30, 2022, the City estimates total costs related to landfill closure and postclosure 
care is 16,588,256 and has recognized that entire amount since the landfill no longer accepts waste. To date, 
$12,248,256 has been paid. The remaining balance of $4,340,000 consists of a current liability of $94,446 
and $4,245,554 recorded as a long-term liability on the City’s financial statements.
The estimated total current cost of the landfill closure and postclosure, $16,588,256, is based on the amount 
that would be paid if all equipment, facilities and services required to care, monitor and maintain the landfill 
were acquired as of June 30, 2022. However, the actual cost of closure and postclosure care may differ due 
to inflation, deflation, changes in technology or changes in landfill laws and regulations. The City is required 
by state and federal regulations to comply with local government financial test requirements that assure the 
City can meet the costs of landfill closure, postclosure care and, if necessary, corrective action when needed. 
The City complied with all local government financial test requirements for the year ended June 30, 2021. It 
is anticipated that future inflation costs will be financed in part from earnings on investments. The 
remaining portion of anticipated future inflation costs and any additional costs that might arise from 
changes in postclosure requirements, i.e., due to changes in technology or more rigorous environmental 
regulations, may need to be covered by additional charges to future taxpayers.

based on spending constraints placed on the purposes for which resources can be used for better 
consistency and clarification. The classifications of fund balance are explained below:
Nonspendable fund balance includes amounts that cannot be spent because either 1) it is not in a 
spendable form, such as inventory or prepaid items or 2) it is legally or contractually required to be 
maintained intact.
Restricted fund balance includes amounts constrained to specific purposes by their providers which are 
either imposed 1) by external parties (grantors, bondholders and higher levels of government), 2) by law 
through constitutional provisions or 3) by enabling legislation legally enforceable by external parties.
Committed fund balance includes amounts with self-imposed limitations to be used only for a specific 
purpose pursuant to constraints by formal action of the highest level of decision making authority, namely 
Mayor and Council. Mayor and Council approval is required to commit resources and amounts cannot be 
used for any other purpose unless Mayor and Council take the same formal action to remove or change the 
commitment.
Assigned fund balance includes amounts intended to be used for a specific purpose. For the general fund, 
the assigned fund balance must be for a specific purpose and for all other governmental funds the assigned 
fund balance represents the residual balance of the fund. Fund balance assignments are approved through 
the Annual Budget Fund Policies section by Mayor and Council. Unlike committed fund balances, assigned 
fund balance amounts can be changed without formal action by the City Manager.
Unassigned fund balance includes amounts available for any purpose; these amounts are reported only in 
the general fund. In addition, other governmental funds that result in a negative fund balance are presented 
in this classification. Generally, the City would first apply restricted resources, then committed, assigned and 
unassigned resources when an expense is incurred for purposes for which more than one classification of 
fund balance is available.
As of June 30, 2022 the constraints placed on fund balance for the major governmental funds and other 
non-major governmental funds are presented in the following table:

Arizona State Retirement System
A.
Plan Description
The City of Chandler employees not covered by the other pension plans described after this section 
participate in the Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS). The ASRS administers a cost-sharing multiple-
employer defined benefit pension plan, a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit health insurance 
premium benefit (OPEB) plan and a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit long-term disability 
(OPEB) plan. For governmental activities OPEB and pension liabilities are generally liquidated by the general 
fund. The Arizona State Retirement System Board governs the ASRS according to the provisions of A.R.S. 
Title 38, Chapter 5, Articles 2 and 2.1. The ASRS issues a publicly available financial report that includes its 
financial statements and required supplementary information. The report is available on the ASRS website 
at www.azasrs.gov.

NOTE 10 - Retirement and Pension Plans, continued
B.
Benefits Provided
The ASRS provides retirement, health insurance premium supplement, long-term disability, and survivor 
benefits. State statute establishes benefit terms. Retirement benefits are calculated on the basis of age, 
average monthly compensation, and service credit as follows:
Retirement Initial Membership Date:
 Before July 1, 2011
 On or After July 1, 2011
Years of service and age
Sum of years and age equals 80

Benefit percent per year of
2.1% to 2.3%
2.1% to 2.3%
service
*With actuarially reduced benefits
Retirement benefits for members who joined the ASRS prior to September 13, 2013, are subject to 
automatic cost-of-living adjustments based on excess investment earnings. Members with a membership 
date on or after September 13, 2013, are not eligible for cost-of-living adjustments. Survivor benefits are 
payable upon a members’ death. For retired members, the survivor benefit is determined by the retirement 
benefit option chosen. For all other members, the beneficiary is entitled to the member’s account balance 
that includes the member’s contributions and employer’s contributions, plus interest earned.
C.
Contributions
In accordance with state statutes, annual actuarial valuations determine active member and employer 
contribution requirements. The combined active member and employer contribution rates are expected to 
finance the costs of benefits employees earn during the year, with an additional amount to finance any 
unfunded accrued liability. For the current fiscal year, active ASRS members were required by statute to 
contribute at the actuarially determined rate of 12.41 percent (12.22 percent for retirement and 0.19 
percent for long-term disability) of the members’ annual covered payroll, and the City of Chandler was 
required by statute to contribute at the actuarially determined rate of 12.41 percent (12.01 percent for 
retirement, 0.21 percent for health insurance premium benefit, and 0.19 percent for long-term disability) of 
the active members’ annual covered payroll.
In addition, the City of Chandler was required by statute to contribute at the actuarially determined rate of 
10.22 percent of annual covered payroll of retired members who worked in positions that would typically be 
filled by an employee who contributes to the ASRS.
The required contribution rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, was actuarially determined to yield 
contribution amounts sufficient to finance costs earned by employees during the year and to amortize the 
Plan’s unfunded actuarially accrued liability over the period specified in the statutes. The City of Chandler’s 
contributions for the year ended June  30, 2022, were $9,580,356. The City of Chandler’s pension 
contributions are paid by the same funds as the employee’s salary, with the largest component coming from 
the general fund.

D. Pension Liability
At June 30, 2022, the City of Chandler reported a liability of $93,397,278 for its proportionate share of the 
net pension liability of the ASRS. The net pension liability was measured as of June  30, 2021. The total 
pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined using update procedures to roll 
forward the total pension liability from an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2020, to the measurement date 
of June 30, 2021. The City of Chandler’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of 
the City of Chandler’s long-term share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the projected 
contributions of all participating employers, actuarially determined. At June 30, 2021, the City of Chandler’s 
proportion was 0.71 percent, which was no change from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2020.
E.
Pension Expense and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
For the year ended June 30, 2022, the City of Chandler recognized pension expense for ASRS of $6,059,571

Actuarial Assumptions
The significant actuarial assumptions used to measure the total ASRS pension liability are as follows:
Actuarial valuation date
June 30, 2020
Actuarial roll forward date
June 30, 2021
Actuarial cost method
Entry age normal
Discount rate

Projected salary increases
2.9%-8.4%
Inflation
2.3%
Permanent base increases
Included
Mortality rates
2017 SRA Scale U-MP
The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2020 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial 
experience study for the five-year period ended June 30, 2020. The purpose of the experience study was to 
review actual experience in relation to the actuarial assumptions in effect. The ASRS Board adopted the 
experience study recommended changes which were applied to the June 30, 2020, actuarial valuation. The 
study did not include an analysis of the assumed investment rate of return.
The long-term expected rate of return on ASRS pension plan investments was determined to be 4.70 
percent using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return 
(expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major 
asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the 
expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected 
inflation.
The target allocation and best estimates of geometric real rates of return for each major asset class of the 
ASRS are summarized in the following table:

G. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the ASRS total pension liability was 7.0  percent, which decreased by 0.5 
percent from the discount rate used as of June 30, 2020. The projection of cash flows used to determine the 
discount rate assumed that contributions from participating employers will be made based on the 
actuarially determined rates based on the ASRS Board’s funding policy, which establishes the contractually 
required rate under Arizona statute. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position 
was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. 
Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of 
projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

D. Contributions
State statutes establish the pension contribution requirements for active PSPRS employees. In accordance 
with state statutes, annual actuarial valuations determine employer contribution requirements for PSPRS 
pension benefits. The combined active member and employer contribution rates are expected to finance 
the cost of benefits employees earn during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded 
accrued liability. Contributions rates for the year ended June  30, 2022, are indicated below. Rates are a

Pension Liability
At June  30, 2022, the City of Chandler reported $81,695,357 in net pension liability for police and 
$37,447,855 in net pension liability for fire. The net pension liabilities were measured as of June 30, 2021, 
and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial 
valuation as of that date. The total pension liability as of June 30, 2021, reflects changes of benefit terms and 
actuarial assumptions for a court ruling for funding permanent benefit increases and a decrease in the wage 
growth assumption.

G. Pension Discount Rates
The discount rate of 7.30 percent was used to measure the total pension liability for Tier 1/2 members and 
7.00 percent for Tier 3 members. The projection of cash flows used to determine the PSPRS discount rates 
assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that employer 
contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between the actuarially determined contribution 
rates and the member rate. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was 
projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, 
the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected 
benefit payments for these plans to determine the total pension liability.

NOTE 11 - Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pensions - Single Employer Plan
The cost of postemployment healthcare benefits, from an accrual accounting perspective, should be 
associated with the periods in which the future costs are earned rather than in the future years when they 
will be paid (similar to the cost of pension benefits). GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial 
Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions requires the City to recognize the entire OPEB 
liability and a comprehensive measure of OPEB expense. The comprehensive measure of OPEB expense 
includes immediate recognition in OPEB expense of the effects of changes of benefit terms, as well as the 
incorporation of the amortization of deferred inflows of resources and deferred outflows of resources 
related to OPEB over a defined, closed period.

Notes to the Financial Statements

NOTE 11 - Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pensions - Single Employer Plan, continued
A.
Plan Description
The City provides post-employment health care (OPEB) for retired employees through a single employer 
defined benefit health plan. The plan provides health benefits for eligible retirees, their spouses and 
dependents though the City’s group health insurance plans, which covers active and retired members. The 
benefits, benefit levels, and contribution rates are determined annually by the City’s Human Resources 
Department and approved by the City Council. The plan is not accounted for as a trust fund, as an 
irrevocable trust has not been established to account for the plan and no assets are accumulated. The plan 
does not issue a separate financial report. Generally, resources from the general fund are used to pay for 
post-employment benefits.
The City also provides a Retirement Health Savings Plan (RHSP) for active employees that may be used upon 
separation from City employment. The City funds $15 per pay period during the term of employment. The 
plan provides health expense reimbursements eligible under Internal Revenue Code Section 213, other than 
direct long-term care expenses. The plan is not accounted for as a trust fund, as an irrevocable trust has not 
been established to account for the plan. The plan does not issue a separate financial report. Generally, 
resources from the general fund are used to pay for post-employment benefits.
A.
Benefits Provided
The City provides post-employment health care benefits to its retirees. To be eligible for benefits, an 
employee must qualify for retirement under one of the state retirement plans for public employees and be 
covered under the City’s health plan during their active status.
Upon retirement, the City deposits a one-time payment of $800 per year of City service in the retiree’s RHSP 
account. The retiree must have a minimum of five years of City service to receive this contribution.
B.
 Contributions
The plan premium rates are determined annually by the City’s Human Resources Department in 
collaboration with an outside consulting firm, reviewed, and recommended by a five member Health Care 
Benefits Trust Board, and approved by the City Council. The retiree’s contribution is 100 percent of the 
actuarially determined blended premium rate. The City makes no contribution to the retirees’ premiums 
other than allowing them to participate through the City’s pooled benefits. By providing retirees with access 
to the City’s healthcare plans based on the same rates it charges to active employees, the City is in effect 
providing a subsidy to retirees. This implied subsidy exists because, on average, retiree healthcare costs are 
higher than active employee healthcare costs. The City contributes 0 percent of these premiums for 
employees. By not contributing anything toward this plan in advance, the City employs a pay-as-you-go 
method through paying the higher rate for active employees each year. A separate financial report is not 
issued for the plan.
C.

D. Total OPEB Liability
The City’s total OPEB liability of $81,921,795 was measured as of June 30, 2021 and was determined by an 
actuarial valuation as of that date. 
E.
Actuarial Assumptions and Other Inputs
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as 
understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time 
of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit cost between the employer and plan 
members to that point. The total OPEB liability in the June 30, 2021 actuarial valuation was determined using 
the following actuarial assumptions and other inputs, applied to all periods included in the measurement, 
unless otherwise specified:
Measurement date
June 30, 2021
Actuarial valuation date
June 30, 2021
Discount Rate
2.21%
Inflation rate
2.5% - 2.7%
Projected salary increases
Vary depending on retirement plan and
years of service from 2.7% - 7.5%
Health care cost trend rates
0% in 2020/21, then 7.5% graded down to 
an ultimate rate of 4.5% over 12 years
Medical and prescription drug
Consistent with medical/drug trends.
Retiree contribution increase
100% share of benefit related costs
The discount rate is based on the index rate for a 20 year tax exempt general obligation municipal bond 
with an average rating of AA/Aa or higher.
Mortality rates were based on the 2017 State Retirees of Arizona Mortality Table for current retirees and the 
RP-2014 Disabled Mortality Table for disabled retirees.

NOTE 12 - Commitments and Contingencies
The City is subject to a number of lawsuits, investigations, and other claims (some of which involve alleged 
damages in substantial amounts) that are incidental to the ordinary course of its operations, including those 
related to property damage and personal injury matters as well as alleged civil rights violations. All cases are 
being vigorously defended by the City of Chandler both as to liability as well as the amount of damages 
claimed. Although the City Attorney cannot reasonably estimate the actual results upon disposition of the 
outstanding cases, some could be significant to the City’s operations, which is why the City not only self-
insures with a $1,750,000 liability retention, but carries an additional $30,000,000 in liability insurance 
policies which are in excess of its self-insured retention. While the ultimate resolution of such lawsuits, 
investigations and claims cannot be determined at this time, in the opinion of City management (based on 
the advice of the City Attorney), the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the 
City’s financial position.
NOTE 13 - Risk Management
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to litigation, claims and torts; theft of, damage to and 
destruction of assets; errors and omissions; employee health claims; and natural disasters (for which the 
City carries commercial insurance). The City established a Self-Insurance Fund (an Internal Service Fund) to 
account for and finance its uninsured risks of loss. This fund is broken down into the following areas: 
workers’ compensation insurance, property and liability insurance, health insurance, dental insurance and 
short-term disability insurance.
Premiums are paid into the Internal Service Fund by all other funds with personnel services for workers’ 
compensation insurance and by the general fund for property and liability insurance.  The premiums are 
available to pay claims, fund claim reserves and pay administrative costs of the program. As with any risk 
retention program, the City is contingently liable with respect to claims beyond those actuarially projected. 
CITY OF CHANDLER, ARIZONA
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2022 
82

NOTE 13 - Risk Management, concluded
Interfund premiums are used to reduce the amount of claim expenditures reported in the Internal Service 
Fund. In the opinion of City management, based on the advice of the City Attorney, the outcome of such 
litigation and claims will not have materially adverse effect on the City’s financial position.
In fiscal year 2021-22, the Self-Insurance Fund provided coverage for up to a maximum of $50,000 for each 
property damage claim and $1,750,000 per occurrence for general liability claims. Coverage is also provided 
for claims up to $3,000,000 in Public Safety and up to $1,000,000 in all other classifications of workers’ 
compensation. The City purchases commercial insurance for claims in excess of coverage provided by the 
Self-Insurance Fund and for all other risks of loss. During fiscal year 2021-22, there were no significant 
reductions in the amounts of excess coverage purchased, nor has the City experienced any settlements in 
excess of insurance coverage over the past three fiscal years.
The City also has commercial stop loss insurance that provides specific (by individual member) coverage for 
health insurance claims incurred in excess of $350,000 within the plan year, and aggregate (plan wide) 
coverage for health insurance claims incurred above 125 percent of total plan wide claims for the plan year. 
Liabilities include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported (IBNR). Claim liabilities are 
calculated considering the effects of inflation, recent claim settlement trends including frequency and 
amount of payouts and other economic and social factors.
The claims liability of $16,911,130 reported as claims payable in the Self-Insurance Fund at June 30, 2022, is 
based on the requirements of GASB Statement No. 10, which requires that liabilities be reported when it is 
probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. This includes 
known future payments made for insurance as well as estimated IBNR calculations.

NOTE 18 - Tax Abatements, concluded
In addition, the City enters into property tax abatement agreements under Arizona Revised Statute 42-6201 
through 42-6210, Government Property Lease Excise Tax (GPLET) to enhance the economic viability of the 
City. The  recipients of the GPLET commit to conveying the property to the City upon the project completion 
and the City will lease it back to the recipient for an agreed upon amount. State law imposes an excise tax 
on buildings that are owned by the City, leased by a private party and occupied/used for commercial, 
residential rental or industrial purposes. The City is allowed to abate the full tax for a period of eight years 
for both existing and new projects within redevelopment area that are part of a single central business 
district. After the abatement period the projects pay an excise tax in which the City receives a 7 percent 
distribution.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the City abated property taxes totaling $203,291 under this program, 
including the following tax abatement agreement that exceeds $100,000:
Property Tax GPLET to a residential rental development for constructing a multi-family residential 
complex. The GPLET amounted to $133,245 of property tax abated.
NOTE 19 - Leases
As lessor, the City of Chandler has entered into lease agreements involving land for wireless towers and 
airport land and facilities.  The City recognizes lease receivables with an initial, individual value of $100,000 
or more. If there is no stated rate in the lease contract (or if the stated rate is not the rate the City charges 
the lessee) and the implicit rate cannot be determined, the City uses its own estimated incremental 
borrowing rate as the discount rate to measure lease receivables. The City's estimated incremental 
borrowing rate is calculated at 2.41%.  The total amount of inflows of resources, including lease revenue, 
interest revenue, and other lease-related inflows, recognized during the fiscal year was $471,132.
NOTE 20 - Prior Period Adjustments
Prior year financial statements did not reverse a receivable in the Water Fund timely, adjust notes receivable 
timely within the Community Services Capital Project Fund, and a utility account was overcharged impacting 
the General Fund and Wastewater Fund.  As a result of the restatement of beginning balances, the following 
reconciles the previously reported July 1, 2021 balances.

NOTE 2 - Pension Plan Schedules
Actuarial Assumptions for Valuations Performed
The information presented in the required supplementary schedules was determined as part of the 
actuarial valuations at the dates indicated, which is the most recent actuarial valuation. The actuarial 
assumptions used are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
Factors that Affect Trends - Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS)
The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2020 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial 
experience study for the five-year period ended June 30, 2016. The purpose of the experience study was 
to review actual experience in relation to the actuarial assumptions in effect. The ASRS Board adopted the 
experience study recommended changes which were applied to the June 30, 2017 actuarial valuation. The 
study did not include an analysis of the assumed investment rate of return.
Factors that Affect Trends - Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS)
The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2021 valuation for PSPRS were based on the results of an 
actuarial experience study for the 5-year period ended June 30, 2016. The total pension liability used to 
calculate the net pension liability for PSPRS was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. The 
total pension liability as of June 30, 2021 reflects changes of benefit terms and actuarial assumptions for 
funding assumed future permanent benefit increases.

actuarial valuations at the dates indicated, which is the most recent actuarial valuation. The actuarial 
assumptions used are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
Factors that Affect Trends
The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2021 valuation were made for the purposes of fulfilling 
plan accounting requirements. Factors such as retiree group program experience, changes in 
assumptions and changes in retiree group benefits program provisions or applicable law may differ from

Note:  Under Arizona law, cities may issue general obligation bonds for purposes of water, wastewater, artificial light, open 
space preserves, parks, public safety and emergency services, streets, transportation, playgrounds and recreational facilities 
up to an amount not to exceed 20 percent of secondary assessed valuation. Cities may issue general obligation bonds for 
any other purpose up to an amount not to exceed 6 percent of secondary assessed valuation. Prior to Fiscal Year 2016, the 
Assessed Valuation was based on the Net Assessed Secondary Value. Due to a change in the legislation (Proposition 117), in 
Fiscal Year 2016, the City is required to use the Limited Property Value. The net (or excess) premium reflected was utilized for 
project fund purposes and is being amortized according to Arizona Revised Statutes, Title 35, Chapter 3, Article 3, 35-457 (E).

(1) The 2014-15 decrease in library bookstock is due to less demand from the increase usage of digital materials 
and removal of damaged, outdated and obsolete material no longer being circulated.
(2)  Beginning in 2015-16, City staff is updating the Geographic Information System through a review of over 700 
As-builts, so a revised figure is reflected. The revised figure consists of active and City owned utilities.
