           SUBJECT:         Enterprise Funds' Fiscal 2012 Operating Results

           The attached report shows the enterprise funds' operating results for fiscal 2012. Also
           attached is a balance sheet report showing all the enterprise funds which was prepared
           for the Department of Revenue to certify the enterprise funds' "free cash reserve"
           balances as of June 30, 2012.

           Water's operating surplus was $106,568 which is less than budget due to lower than
           expected revenues offset by reduced debt service expenses. After considering the fiscal
           2012 surplus, the water enterprise fund ended the year with a contingency reserve of
           $1.3 million which is a healthy 19.8% of revenues.

           The sewer enterprise finished fiscal 2012 operating at a deficit of $88,591 due to less
           than expected sewer revenues. Sewer's end of year contingency reserve is $783,390,
           which is an adequate 15.3% of revenues. For fiscal 2013 the sewer rates have been
           increased 4% to provide more sewer revenues.

           The rink experienced an operating deficit of $23,826 during fiscal 2012 primarily due to a
           revenue shortfall which has caused the rink's end of year contingency reserve to amount
           to a negative $15,499. In fiscal 2013 over $19,000 has been collected for rink ice time
           billed in fiscal 2012, which will offset the $15,499 negative fund balance.

           Please let me know if you have any questions or comments concerning this information.
