        SUBJECT:          Enterprise Funds' Fiscal 2015 Operating Results

        The attached report shows the enterprise funds' operating results for fiscal 2015. 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, 2015.

        Water enterprise's operating surplus was $304,031 which is more than budget primarily due to
        additional revenue received in fiscal 2015 from collecting prior year water bills and connection
        fees from the Brightview assisted living facility. After considering the fiscal 2015 surplus, the
        water enterprise fund ended the year with a contingency reserve of $2.5 million which is a
        healthy 39% of expenses.

        The sewer enterprise finished fiscal 2015 operating at a surplus of $745,190 due to better than
        expected sewer revenues and favorable spending. Sewer's end of year contingency reserve is
        $1.6 million which is a healthy 28% of expenses.

        The rink enterprise experienced an operating deficit of $42,673 during fiscal 2015 primarily due
        to the roof collapse in February causing the facility to be closed. The rink's end of year
        contingency reserve amounted to $32,246 or 8.6% of expenses.

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