Mountain St., Fayetteville, AR 72701 FPL Board of Trustees Finance Committee August 24, 2021, 4 pm MINUTES Present: R. Qualls, B. Bagwell, J. Parry, C. Burns (BKD), D. Coleman (BKD), D. Johnson, R. Duarte, W. Fitzgibbon, T. Ball, B. Eddins, L. Husband Overview of FPL FY2020 Audit Report Presented by BDK Financial Meeting began at 4:02 pm. C. Burns and D. Coleman began the meeting by saying that the beginning pages of the FY2020 Library audit report began with BKD's observations after completing their work, which serve as a preface and are not numbered. C. Burns noted that there is one emphasis of matter in these pages: FPL was required to adopt GASB 84 and 97, which related to contribution plans and fiduciary activities overall. Pages 3-4 gave key financial highlights of 2020, including activities of the Library, the General Fund, and the Foundation Fund. Page 5 compared 2019 vs. 2020 financials. Both liabilities and assets have increased significantly with the loans on the Foundation. The Library's total net position changed from $42.6 million in 2019 to $49.5 million in 2020. There was a significant increase in property taxes, consistent with the City municipality increases in NW Arkansas, resulting in improved depreciation value with new Library building assets associated with the expansion. C. Burns emphasized that governmental financials are significantly different from personal or business financials, which may make FPL's audit report more difficult to interpret. Both Library and Foundation funds are considered governmental units for accounting purposes. The Library's and Foundation's financials are both considered when accounting for the Library's total financial status. This is because the Foundation exists for the sole purpose of supporting FPL. B. Bagwell asked how Capital Campaign pledges are adjusted for uncertainty in the report. C. Burns and D. Coleman explained that Foundation pledges receivable are discounted to reflect the time value of money and the potential for some pledges to not be paid in full. Pledges included in the audit have been controlled for collectability via the historical pledge payment reliability of the donor. Additionally, estate gifts are not included in the Foundation audit until the change event occurs; however, C. Burns suggested that FPL consider how it will account for estate, will, planned, and crypto gifts in the future. B. Bagwell wanted to know where the value of the expansion is considered on the report. C. Burns responded that because the building was not yet fully constructed by the end of FY2020, its total value had not yet been determined. Moreover, the new building's total value is likely still on the City of Fayetteville's books, as several bureaucratic processes must take place through the City before the new construction's value can be moved to the Library's financials. 17 Page 9 summarizes governmental funds and accounting, which includes the income statement, statement of activities, and changes in fund revenues, fund balance, and expenditures. The Foundation -issued debt is included as a source of money, which will be changed to a liability when the shift is made to consolidated, governmental funds. Pages 10-11 outlined the fiduciary activities that FPL adopted due to GASB 84, with contribution plans that amount to $6.9 million. As a result of adopting GASB 84, there is a Library adjustment of $5.9 million in the report. Page 12 includes the notes of the financials, which explain that the Foundation is a blended component unit, and what the fiduciary component units consist of — including FPL's 457 and 401(a) plans. The value of Capital Campaign pledges is $1.03 million and are shown as restricted net position funds in the report. Regarding restricted investments, all Library and Foundation investments were traded as Level 1 inputs, making them relatively low risk. Note 4 showed the Capital asset totals. At the time of the audit, only the original Blair Library was considered, as the expansion was not yet complete. Note 7 displayed transfers between the Library and Foundation. Note 11 tracked the endowments that are on the Foundation's books. Note 12 accounted for the economic uncertainties of the COVID- 19 pandemic. Page 24 (in the report synopsis) breaks down the investment income: interest in dividends and the net increase in the fair value of investments. In Note 4, Capital assets were $33 million at the beginning of 2020, with $16 million spent between the Library and the Foundation on the expansion throughout the year. The netbook value, when adjusted for asset depreciation, is $34 million, which does not include the assets purchased with the bonds. Note 5 deals with the line of credit that the Foundation has and how much was borrowed against it. Note 6 is about the paycheck protection loan, which the Foundation received. Currently it is represented as a liability under GASB laws but will be written off in 2021's audit report, as formal forgiveness of the loan has been received. Note 7 covers the transfers between the Library and the Foundation, and what those activities were. Note 8 concerns the pension plan and the money contributed to it this year. Note 9 is new, dealing with assets and the fiduciary activities related to the implementation of GASB 84. Note 10 is the same as 2019; C. Burns said that in all her years of working with FPL, she has never seen claims that exceeded their commercial insurance. Note 11 showed a significant decrease in the amount of spending from the Foundation's endowment gifts. Note 12 speaks to COVID-19 and the impact it made on FY2020. The last item in the report, the Budgetary Comparison Schedule on page 28, indicated that FPL lost about $1.2 million in revenue but spent $279,000 less than budgeted, with a total budget deficit of approximately $921,000. C. Burns explained that the Library's one emphasis of matter relates to an investment bond with a low Moody rating. The 2020 report showed that FPL holds a bond with a Moody rating below the rating limited by its investment policy. C. Burns recommended that the Library review its investments and investment policies to verify that its investments comply with its investment policy. It is possible that this deficiency is related to COVID-19 economic instability or the date of testing, but the investment policy should be reviewed regularly to identify potential updates.

ARPA provides a substantial combination of resources to state and local governments to aid public health and economic recovery from the negative impacts of the pandemic. The ARPA funding objectives are to support urgent COVID-19 response efforts to contain and mitigate the spread of COVID-19; address negative economic impacts; support immediate economic stabilization; and replace lost public sector revenue to support public services. The Library also received a federal grant (ARPA funds) from Arkansas State Library through the Institute of Museum and Library Services in the amount of $60,392. Staff seeks to use these funds to purchase laptop dispensers. Walton Family Foundation Grant: In August 2021, the Library was awarded a grant in the amount of $192,644 from the Walton Family Foundation. The staff intends to use the funds to help launch the Micro - Entrepreneurship Program, which is an initiative that provides classes, experiences, and other resources for aspiring entrepreneurs. The Staff will allocate these funds to the Center for Innovation budget to purchase equipment and assist with personnel expenses. Recommendation: 20 The Board of Trustees to recognize the grant and approve the budget adjustment which amends the 2021 Budget as outlined in the budget adjustment request form. 21 Date Prepared* 10/8/2021 *Enter dates for CY 2021 only in followng format (mm/dd/yy) Fayetteville Public Library Adjustment Form FY 2021 Requesting Department IT Select Adjustment Type: Budget Amendment From Account (s) - Decrease - Adjustment Amount Account Number Project Number Account Name Original Budget Amended Budget Adjusted Budget Unencumbered Balance 0 0 0 0 $ - Total To Account (s) - Increase + Adjustment Unencumbered Amount Account Number Project Number Account Name Original Budget Amended Budget Adjusted Budget Balance $ 60,392.00 10-1-5810-30 Computer & Tech Equipment $ - $ - $ 60,392.00 0 0 $ 60,392.00 Total $ 60,392.00 Reason/Justification For Adjustment: The Board of Trustees to recognize the grant from Arkansas State Library from IMLS and approve the budget adjustment which amends the 2021 Budget as outlined in the budget adjustment request form.
