Total local sales tax revenues are performing lower than expected primarily due
to construction sales tax. Residential home construction has slowed compared
to the prior year, as anticipated. Consequently, the year-end revenue estimate
has been adjusted downward to reflect reduced year-to-date commercial and
residential construction activity. Although aggregate retail and remote seller
sales have outperformed the prior year, they are currently tracking below the
original forecasts. Restaurant/bar and utility revenues are better than originally
anticipated. Bed tax is expected to slightly exceed the original forecast due to
payment of back taxes from the prior year.
Please refer to Appendix 4 for a detailed breakdown of General Fund local sales
tax collections.

State shared income tax revenues are expected to align with the budget, as they
are calculated based on actual tax collections from the previous two years. State
shared sales tax and vehicle license tax revenues are trending slightly above
budget. Revenues from the state retail excise tax on recreational marijuana
("Smart and Safe" revenues) are currently tracking below budget projections
based on actual collections.

Grant revenues are trending lower than expected as some grants are not
expected to fully utilize in the current year.
A significant portion of the budgeted grants are allocated to the Police
Department. These grants can fluctuate based on factors such as officer
scheduling, overtime, and the timing of reimbursements and awards from grant
programs.
About $75,000 of budgeted state grants is related to school resource officer
reimbursements for Leman Academy.

Collections for this revenue category typically lag throughout the year.
RTA reimbursements from the Regional Transportation Authority for Sun Shuttle
Dial-a-Ride operations in Oro Valley will vary based on ridership. RTA
reimbursements recorded through December are for only two months as RTA is
behind in paying invoices.
A new agreement effective January 2025 between the Town and Amphitheater
School District to provide three additional School Resource Officers (SROs) will
generate revenue exceeding budget projections. These payments are based on
actual hours worked at the schools, and as such, they are limited to the school
year.
Cost allocation charges to the Town’s enterprise funds for services provided, as
well as Parks & Recreation fees, make up the bulk of this revenue category.
The enterprise funds cost allocation is the budget amount simply spread out
equally over 12 months.
Recreation fees are trending greater than budget.

Non‐Departmental:Actual expenditures through December exceed the prior year's levels primarily because of two factors: 1) A shift in accounting practices for
General Fund insurance premiums, which are now fully recorded in Non‐Departmental rather than allocated across departments.
2) Increased vehicle replacement reserves due to growth in the fleet and rising vehicle prices.
Departments are currently operating within budget, and personnel cost savings are projected due to vacancies, turnover, and variations in employee benefit
selections. Please note that Council and IT typically have significant upfront costs at the beginning of the year.

Revenues:
Highway User Revenue is trending slightly greater than budget.
License and permits are projected to exceed budget due to right-of-way (road) permits.
As interest earnings are trending below budget, the year-end estimate has been adjusted accordingly. HURF monies are invested independently and are not
commingled with any other Town funds. Therefore, interest earnings are lower than other funds due to a smaller principal balance.
Miscellaneous revenue is projected to exceed budget due to insurance recoveries.
The planned transfers in of $4 million are from the Capital Fund for road projects. These are recorded evenly over four quarters.
Expenditures:
Personnel savings are anticipated due to benefit and overtime trends. Operational and maintenance (O&M) savings are projected in street and traffic signal
maintenance. Budgeted capital outlays consist of the Town's annual pavement preservation program as well as several capital improvement projects and
equipment. Pavement preservation road work began in October and is still underway. $5,000 savings in capital due to the F450 dump bed coming in under
budget.

Total local sales tax revenues are performing lower than expected primarily due
to retail and remote seller sales tax. Although aggregate retail and remote seller
sales have outperformed the prior year, they are currently trending slightly below
initial projections. Restaurant/bar revenues are performing slightly better than
originally anticipated. While other sales tax revenue appears to be falling short of
projections through December, we anticipate increased revenue from hotel taxes
during the peak travel season.
Golf revenues are projected to exceed budget.
Through December, 47,390 rounds of golf had been played which is up 8.4%
from the prior year and 9.8% greater than budget.
Please refer to Appendix 3 for or a more in-depth analysis of golf revenues,
expenses, and historical comparisons

Town operating revenues are performing better than expected.
Member dues have increased by approximately 15% compared to the prior year,
and total memberships have risen by about 14%. We estimate a 21% budget
surplus based on these figures.
Recreation program revenues are conservatively projected to fall short of budget
targets based on trends through December. However, the majority of these
revenues are generated in April, making accurate forecasting challenging at this
time.

A yearly reserve is set aside for vehicle replacement, calculated based on the purchase price and estimated lifespan of Town-owned vehicles.
This reserve is spread out over 12 months and charged to the general fund each month.
Uses:
O&M costs are from the purchase of smaller, non-capitalized equipment used in the Steam Pump Ranch - Solar Lighting CIP project. The budget
includes $4 million in transfers to the Highway Fund for capital improvement projects, which are recorded evenly over four quarters. Additionally,
$2.2 million is allocated to the Grants Fund. Of this, $2 million is earmarked for the Vistoso Trails Nature Preserve and $174,530 is for a 20%
match for transit vehicles funded by 80% grants. These grant transfers are recorded at the end of the year and may adjust based on the actual
grant awards.

primarily due to lower than anticipated revenue from the groundwater preservation fee, which is tied to water consumption. Interest earnings are expected to
exceed budget by $200,000. The budget for other financing sources consists of proceeds from an anticipated $8 million loan.
Uses:
Personnel is trending under budget due to various vacancies in Water Operations.
Operational and maintenance (O&M) savings are projected in outside professional services and equipment repair.
Capital outlay is projected to exceed budget due to a higher-than-anticipated number of meter replacements.
Debt Service: The full annual principal payment for debt service is recorded at the start of the year. Interest payments are made twice yearly, in January and June.
For a complete breakdown of outstanding debt issuances, please refer to Appendix 6.
Transfers out are primarily to the Water Resource Impact Fee fund to fund the NWRRDS capital projects and represents 40% of groundwater preservation fees.
This transfer is recorded at the end of the fiscal year and may vary based on revenue collections. There is also a small transfer of $2,333 to the Debt Service Fund
for debt service.

Arizona municipalities can charge development fees to cover the cost of infrastructure improvements needed to support new
development. These fees are one-time payments used to fund projects like building new roads, parks, or water facilities. The amount of
the fee is determined by an Infrastructure Improvements Plan (IIP) and land use assumptions. Importantly, development fees can only
be used for building new infrastructure or paying off debt for growth-related projects. They cannot be used for ongoing maintenance,
repairs, or addressing existing problems. The Town's IIP includes public services for parks and recreation facilities, police facilities,
street facilities, and water facilities.
Below is a list of identified IIP projects use in the latest impact fee study to calculate the development fees. These are projects that
would be eligible to be funded by development fees as outlined in ARS § 9-463.05 (T)(7)(a).

ordinances, or rules. Any term of this Agreement that is declared contrary to any current or future
law, order, regulation, or rule, or that is otherwise invalid, shall be deemed stricken without

changes are necessary to this Agreement after it has been entered into, including changes to

injury (including death), or loss or damage to tangible or intangible property caused, or

contractor. This indemnity includes any claim or amount arising out of or recovered under
the Workers’ Compensation Law or arising out of the failure of such contractor to conform
to any Federal, State or Local law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or court decree. It is
the specific intention of the parties that the Indemnitee shall, in all instances, except for
Claims arising solely from the negligent or willful acts or omissions of the Indemnitee, be
indemnified by such contractor from and against any and all claims. It is agreed that such
contractor will be responsible for primary loss investigation, defense and judgment costs
where this indemnification is applicable. Additionally on all applicable insurance policies,

agencies, boards, commissions, universities, officers, officials, agents, and employees as

reimbursements made to Subrecipient. On termination, AZDOHS may procure, on terms that it
deems appropriate, materials or services to replace those that otherwise would have been

providing AZDOHS with proof of payment and applicable, accurate and complete reimbursement
documents, as deemed necessary by AZDOHS. A list of acceptable documentation is at
www.azdohs.gov. Payments are contingent on Subrecipient performing all its obligations under
this Agreement. Subrecipient may use the funds provided under this Agreement only as provided
in the application and award documentation. If Subrecipient does not complete all its obligations,
Subrecipient must immediately reimburse all previously-provided funds to AZDOHS. If
Subrecipient completes its obligations at a lower than the budgeted cost, the amount reimbursed

program-forms) for these reports. Subrecipient must provide detailed information on the status of
completion of the planned activities in the approved application satisfactory to AZDOHS in its sole
discretion. Failure to adequately provide such information will result in the Quarterly
Programmatic Report being rejected by AZDOHS and resubmission will be required. If the
program has been fully completed so that there will be no further updates, then the quarterly
report for the quarter in which the program was completed will be the final report; the report
should be marked as “final” and must include all pertinent information regarding the program as
determined solely by AZDOHS.
Final Quarterly Programmatic Report: The final quarterly programmatic report is due no more than
15 calendar days after the end of the performance period. Subrecipient may submit a final
quarterly report prior to the end of the performance period if the scope of the project has been fully

Reimbursement requests are only required when expenses have been incurred. The Subrecipient
shall submit a final reimbursement request, marked as such, for expenses received and invoiced
prior to the end of the period of performance. The final reimbursement must be received by

performance will not be paid.

agreements, representations, and understandings pertaining to its subject matter, whether oral or
written. No course of dealings or usage of the trade supplements or explains any terms. A
party’s failure to insist on strict performance of any term is not a waiver of that term, even if the
party accepting or acquiescing in the nonconforming performance knows the nature of the
performance and fails to object. If any new legislation, laws, ordinances, or rules affect this
Agreement, this Agreement automatically incorporates the terms of such legislation, laws,
ordinances, or rules. Any term of this Agreement that is declared contrary to any current or future
law, order, regulation, or rule, or that is otherwise invalid, shall be deemed stricken without
impairing the validity of the remainder of this Agreement. In the event FEMA determines that
changes are necessary to this Agreement after it has been entered into, including changes to
Period of Performance or other terms, Subrecipient will be notified of the changes in writing; once
notification is made, any subsequent request for funds by Subrecipient will constitute
Subrecipient’s acceptance of the changes and will incorporate the changes into this Agreement.

Agreement may be made only in a writing signed by authorized representatives of both parties.
Any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party

expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Claims")
arising out of bodily injury to any person (including death) or property damage, but only to the
extent such Claims which result in vicarious/derivative liability to the Indemnitee are caused by
the act, omission, negligence, misconduct, or other fault of the Indemnitor, its officers, officials,
agents, employees, or volunteers. The State of Arizona and AZDOHS are self-insured per ARS
41-621. If Subrecipient utilizes contractor(s) and/or subcontractor(s), the indemnification clause
between Subrecipient and contractor(s) and subcontractor(s) shall include the following:
Contractor shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Arizona Department of
Homeland Security and the State of Arizona, and any jurisdiction or agency issuing any
permits for any work arising out of this Agreement, and their departments, agencies,
boards, commissions, universities, officers, officials, agents, and employees (hereinafter,
“Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, or
expenses (including court costs, attorneys’ fees, and costs of claim processing,
investigation and litigation) (hereinafter referred to as “Claims”) for bodily injury or personal
injury (including death), or loss or damage to tangible or intangible property caused, or
alleged to be caused, in whole or in part, by the negligent or willful acts or omissions of the
contractor or any of the directors, officers, agents, or employees or subcontractors of such
contractor. This indemnity includes any claim or amount arising out of or recovered under
the Workers’ Compensation Law or arising out of the failure of such contractor to conform
to any Federal, State or Local law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or court decree. It is
the specific intention of the parties that the Indemnitee shall, in all instances, except for
Claims arising solely from the negligent or willful acts or omissions of the Indemnitee, be
indemnified by such contractor from and against any and all claims. It is agreed that such
contractor will be responsible for primary loss investigation, defense and judgment costs
where this indemnification is applicable. Additionally on all applicable insurance policies,
contractor and its subcontractors shall name the State of Arizona, and its departments,
agencies, boards, commissions, universities, officers, officials, agents, and employees as
an additional insured and also include a waiver of subrogation in favor of the State.
43.Termination Each party has the right to terminate this Agreement if the other party fails to
comply with this Agreement. A party invoking the right to terminate shall provide written 30 day
advance notice of all reasons for the termination. If Subrecipient chooses to terminate this
Agreement before all deliverables have been delivered, AZDOHS has the right to recover all
reimbursements made to Subrecipient. On termination, AZDOHS may procure, on terms that it
deems appropriate, materials or services to replace those that otherwise would have been
provided by Subrecipient, and Subrecipient will be liable to AZDOHS for all excess costs incurred
by AZDOHS in procuring such materials or services. Subrecipient must continue to perform this
Agreement until the date of termination, as directed in the termination notice. If AZDOHS
reasonably believes Subrecipient does not intend to, or is unable to fully perform this Agreement,
AZDOHS may demand in writing that Subrecipient give written assurance of its intent and ability
to perform. If Subrecipient fails to provide written assurance within the time specified in the
demand, AZDOHS may terminate this Agreement.

How does your previous volunteer service prepare you for the board or
commission appointment for which you have applied? Please describe an
issue considered at a meeting of the Board or Commission for which you are
applying.
My current/prior volunteer service, particularly as a board member of my HOA, the University
of Evansville Alumni Board, and Millions4One—a nonprofit focused on education support in
Nigeria—has provided me with valuable experience directly aligned with the responsibilities
of the Budget and Finance Commission. These roles required me to engage in fiduciary
oversight, budget planning, and financial decision-making, honing my ability to analyze
financial reports, prioritize expenditures, and make strategic recommendations to ensure
transparency and align with long-term goals. An issue I have observed that is relevant to the
commission’s work involves maintaining a balanced budget while addressing critical
community needs, such as infrastructure improvements and public safety. For example, in a
recent HOA meeting, we deliberated on funding priorities, ensuring adequate reserves for
future projects while balancing immediate maintenance needs. This mirrors the challenges
the Budget and Finance Commission faces in providing sound financial recommendations to
support Oro Valley’s growth and sustainability. My professional background working for
Fortune 20 firms across strategy, product, finance, and business planning verticals, coupled
with these volunteer experiences, equips me to contribute meaningfully to the commission’s
mission of advising the Town Council on fiduciary responsibilities. I am confident that my
skills and commitment to fiscal responsibility will help support Oro Valley's long-term
financial health.
Briefly describe your educational/vocational background.
I hold a Master’s degree in Information Systems from Indiana University’s Kelley School of
Business and a Bachelor’s degree in Internet Technology with a minor in Business
Administration from the University of Evansville. With over 15 years of professional
experience spanning strategy consulting, financial services, e-commerce, and technology, I
have successfully managed budgets, implemented scalable data-driven solutions, and driven
organizational efficiency across multiple continents while delighting customers. As the owner
of Bin Masters, a Tucson-based mobile waste compaction company, I am transforming the
waste management industry through innovative, sustainable, and cost-effective practices.
This entrepreneurial endeavor has further honed my expertise in financial planning,
operational strategy, and long-term decision-making—skills directly applicable to the
responsibilities of the Budget and Finance Commission. Additionally, my volunteer leadership
roles on the University of Evansville Alumni Board, Millions4One, my HOA, and as an External
Advisory Board Member with Seattle Children’s Clinic have further enhanced my ability to
analyze complex matters (not limited to just financial), foster collaboration, and deliver
strategic insights. These combined experiences uniquely position me to contribute
meaningfully to Oro Valley’s fiscal oversight and sustainable growth.

WATER RATES ANALYSIS REPORT
MARCH 2024
Executive Summary
An annual review of the revenue requirements and water rates is an integral component in ensuring the long-
term financial health of the Water Utility. The Oro Valley Water Utility Commission reviews and makes
recommendations for water revenue requirements, water rates and fee structures. The Commission evaluates
staff recommendations based on a rates analysis to ensure compliance with Town policies and bond covenants.
Water rates and service charges are reviewed annually in accordance with Mayor and Town Council Water
Policies – II.A.2.b(4).
The Water Utility has based these financial projections on the American Water Works Associations (AWWA)
cash-needs approach. The AWWA is the largest national organization that develops water and wastewater
policies, specifications and rate setting guidelines accepted by both government-owned and private water and
wastewater utilities worldwide.
This Water Rates Analysis Report contains detailed information on the Operating Fund and the Water
Resource and System Development Impact Fee Fund. Funds are analyzed annually to project revenue and
revenue requirements. As an enterprise of the Town, the Water Utility generates revenue from rates, fees and
service charges and does not receive revenue from taxes or other monies from the General Fund. Additionally,
revenue generated by the Water Utility does not fund operating costs of any other Town department.
In accordance with policy, the water rates analysis is prepared annually based on the most up-to-date
information available for a five-year period. Although the analysis is for five years, any rate increase
considered would be approved only for the first year in the five-year projection period.
The Water Utility Commission has made a recommendation regarding the proposed financial scenario. Under
the proposed financial scenario, the Operating Fund is projected to have a cash balance of $5,405,931 at the
end of the five-year projection period. This exceeds the cash reserve requirement. In addition, the debt service
coverage ratio of 1.3 is exceeded each year. Operational needs and capital improvements are included in the
analysis. The proposed financial scenario demonstrates a planned use of cash reserves to finance capital
projects.
The proposed financial scenario evaluates the impact of future costs and the revenue sources that will be
required to meet those costs. The proposed water rates in the financial scenario will increase the Utility’s fixed
and variable cost recovery.
- 2 -
The Water Utility Commission and Water Utility staff have made the following recommendations on water
rates in the proposed financial scenario for Fiscal Year 2025/26:
A. Increase to the potable water base rates
B. Increase to the potable water commodity rates
A. Current and proposed monthly base rates for potable water are shown in Table 1 below:
Table 1
Cost per month
B. Current and proposed commodity rates for potable water usage are shown in Table 2 below:
Table 2
Per 1,000 gallons
- 3 -
The financial impact of the proposed base and commodity rate increase for a customer with a 5/8-inch meter
using 7,000 gallons is $1.81 per month. Customers with a 5/8-inch meter represent 84 percent of the total
customer base and include residential, commercial and irrigation classifications with the vast majority of those
being residential. The base rate increase would be $1.11 per month for all customers with this meter size.
The proposed commodity rate increase for customers in Tier 1 would be $0.10 per 1,000 gallons used per
month.
Water Utility staff presents this water rates analysis in support of the recommended rates contained in the
proposed financial scenario. The Oro Valley Water Utility Commission and Water Utility staff respectfully
recommend the proposed increase to the potable base rates and increase to the potable commodity rates as
detailed in the proposed financial scenario.

TOWN OF ORO VALLEY
WATER UTILITY
WATER RATES ANALYSIS REPORT
MARCH 2025
Introduction
The Oro Valley Water Utility was established in 1996 as a self-supporting enterprise of the Town. The Water
Utility is comprised of two separate funds that have been established for specific purposes. The Funds are as
follows:
► Operating Fund
► Water Resource and Development Impact Fee Fund
The Operating Fund is the primary fund for the Water Utility. Revenues for this fund include water sales,
service fees, miscellaneous charges and interest income. The expenses in this fund include personnel,
operations and maintenance for both potable and reclaimed water systems, capital costs for existing potable
water system improvements and related debt service. The Water Utility pays the General Fund for services
received including finance, human resources, fleet services, information technology, legal, insurance and
rental of office space; however, it does not receive revenue from taxes or other payments from the General
Fund. Additional information is provided on page 11 of this report.
Groundwater Preservation Fee (GPF) revenue and expenses are accounted for within the Operating Fund but
are segregated because GPF revenue is restricted for specific uses. This is illustrated in Appendix A, Page A-2.
The Water Resource and Development Impact Fee Fund (WRSDIF) is used to account for development impact
fees collected. Funds may be used for all types of water resources, the infrastructure to deliver those resources
and any related debt including Central Arizona Project (CAP) capital infrastructure repayment costs.
Additional information is provided on page 15 of this report.
The revenue and expenses of the Operating Fund and the WRSDIF Fund are combined to determine if the
Water Utility meets the debt service coverage requirement established in the Mayor and Town Council water
policies and current bond covenants. Revenues and expenses are accounted for separately in each fund.
Pursuant to ARS 9-463.05 Section B.9., impact fees must be placed in a separate fund and accounted for
separately. ARS 9-463.05 Section B.5. states that the impact fees may not be used for operations and
maintenance of existing facilities.

Methodology
Step 1: Five-Year Financial Plan
The first step of the water rates analysis is to develop a five-year financial plan that projects the Water Utility’s
revenues, expenses, capital project financing, annual debt service, and cash reserve funding. The factors used
in determining the projections are growth rates, water use trends, debt service coverage requirements, cash
reserve requirements and inflation rates. The financial plan is used to determine the revenue adjustment, which
allows the Water Utility to recover adequate revenues to fund expenses and cash reserves.
Step 2: Revenue Requirement Determination for Test Year
After completing the five-year financial plan, the rate making process can begin by determining the revenue
requirement for the test year, also known as the rate-setting year. The test year for this water rates analysis is
Fiscal Year 2023/24 which will be used to capture the rate impacts resulting from a change in rate structure
without a revenue adjustment. The revenue requirement should sufficiently fund the Water Utility’s operating
and maintenance (O&M) costs, annual debt service, capital improvement plan (CIP) costs, and cash reserve
funding for the upcoming Fiscal Year 2025/26 budget.
Step 3: Water Rates Analysis
The annual cost of providing water service, or the revenue requirements, is then distributed to customer classes
and tiers based on their water usage and demand on the system. Fixed and variable costs are analyzed to
determine the impact on customer classes and tiers.
Step 4: Rate Design and Calculation
After allocating the revenue requirements to each customer class and tier, the rate design and calculation
process can start. Rates are designed to properly support and optimize the Water Utility’s policies and
objectives. Rates also act as a public information tool in communicating these policy objectives to customers.
This process also includes a rate impact analysis for all proposed water rates and sample customer bill impacts.
Step 5: Administrative Record Preparation and Rate Adoption
The final step in a water rates analysis is to develop the administrative record in preparation for the rate
adoption process. The administrative record, also known as the Water Rates Analysis Report, documents the
results of the water rate analysis and presents the methodologies, rationale, justifications, and calculations
utilized to determine the proposed water rates.
- 6 -
Growth Rates
As indicated in the graph below, new metered connections continue to remain stable due to continued
development within the Town. The Water Utility had a total of 2,632 new metered connections over the last 10
years. At the end of Fiscal Year 2023/24, the customer base totaled 21,498 metered connections.
In developing the growth projections, assistance was received from the Town’s Community and Economic
Development Department for the current housing inventory, along with plans that have been submitted for
review, to conservatively estimate future growth. The growth projections used for this report are consistent
with the Town’s financial forecasting and are shown below in Table 3.
Table 3
- 7 -
Water Use Trends
Water use remains consistent even though the number of connections has increased by 2,632 over the last ten
years. The graph below indicates water usage from Fiscal Year 2014/15 through Fiscal Year 2023/24. As
noted below, in Fiscal Year 2014/15 water usage was at 2,889 million gallons and 2,987 million gallons in
Fiscal Year 2023/24. An increase of 98 million gallons. The revenue projections in this water rate analysis
compiled water data from Fiscal Year 2023/24 when the average water use was 7,000 gallons per month,
which is consistent with prior years.
Historically there has been a decline in water use not only on a local level, but also on regional and national
levels. This can be largely attributed to water conservation – both intentional and unintentional. Intentional
water conservation is the conscious effort to reduce water use by commonly known measures including
changing landscape to drought tolerant plants and the removal of lawns. Unintentional water conservation is a
result of plumbing code changes and other regulatory changes regarding water efficiency. For example, all
new water using appliances and fixtures are required to be low flow. The consumer’s intention may not have
been to conserve water when they chose to replace an ageing or broken dishwasher, clothes washer or
bathroom faucet.
- 8 -
Debt Service
The current annual debt service obligations are met with revenue generated from water rates, groundwater
preservation fees and impact fees. A summary of the existing debt and the outstanding balances as of June 30,
2024, are shown below in Table 4.
Table 4
In April 2017, the Town entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Metropolitan Domestic Water
Improvement District and the Town of Marana to construct a recharge, recovery and delivery system known as
the Northwest Recharge, Recovery, and Delivery System (NWRRDS) project to bring additional Central
Arizona Project (CAP) water into the Town.
In FY 2024/25, the water utility will issue approximately $17 million in new debt for the NWRRDS project.
Debt service will be paid with Groundwater Preservation Fees (GPF) and Water Resource and System
Development Impact Fees (WRSDIF).
Project costs identified for the NWRRDS project may be found in the five-year capital plan shown in
Appendix C.
There is no new debt for existing system capital improvements in this analysis. Capital costs in the five-year
capital plan for existing system projects will be cash funded.
- 9 -
Debt Service Coverage Requirements
The method for calculating the debt service coverage ratio is pursuant to the Town Financial and Budgetary
Policies adopted by the Town Council in 2023. Section 1-9 Debt, Policy 9.0 - Pledging of Utility Revenues
states the following with respect to debt service coverage ratios: “When utility revenues are pledged as debt
service payments, the Town will strive to maintain a 1.3 times debt service coverage ratio to ensure debt
coverage in times of revenue fluctuation. This will be in addition to the required ratio of the bond indenture.”
The 2014 Water Infrastructure Finance Authority (WIFA) loan and Series 2021 Senior Lien Water revenue
refunding bond are used in the calculation of the debt service coverage requirement. The Water Utility
revenues are specifically pledged as the repayment source for these obligations at 1.3 times coverage per the
Town’s adopted financial policy.
The remaining outstanding debt obligations of the Water Utility are excise tax pledged obligations meaning
that the Town’s unrestricted sources of sales taxes, fines, permit fees and state shared revenues are pledged as
repayment sources for these bonds in the bond indentures. Even though the bond indentures pledge these
excise taxes as the repayment source, the Water Utility is responsible for these debt service payments from
water sales revenues. However, since excise taxes are pledged as coverage, a calculated debt service coverage
ratio of 1.0 is applied to avoid double coverage when calculating the debt service coverage ratio for these
excise tax-backed bonds in the water rates analysis.
Bond indentures for the excise tax-backed bonds require that the Town’s excise tax collections each fiscal year
total at least 2.5 times the annual debt service requirements to avoid funding a debt service reserve fund. These
conditions have been met annually in the past and are expected to continue in the future.
This methodology of segregating the water utility revenue-pledged debt from the excise tax-pledged debt in
the rates analysis process is an accepted practice in the industry and has been reviewed by the Town’s Chief
Financial Officer and the Town’s financial advisors with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc.
The debt service coverage ratio is determined by dividing the annual net operating revenue by the annual debt
service payments. The methodology described above is in accordance with the 2023 policy and reduces the
amount of the required debt service coverage. Applying this methodology has been key in minimizing water
rate increases.
Debt service coverage for the Water Utility’s outstanding senior lien debt issuances and loans in the proposed
financial scenario is shown in Table 5 below. As shown below, debt service coverage increases as existing
debt service is paid off.
Table 5
- 10 -
Cash Reserve Policy
The cash reserve policy may be found in the Town of Oro Valley Mayor and Council Water Policies Section
II.A.1.d. The policy states “The Utility shall maintain a cash reserve in the Operating Fund of not less than
20% of the combined total of the annual budgeted amounts for personnel, operations and maintenance, and
debt service. This cash reserve amount specifically excludes budgeted amounts for capital projects,
depreciation, amortization and contingency. No cash reserve is required for the water utility impact fee
funds.”
In the proposed financial scenario, the projected cash reserve balance for the Operating Fund for each year in
the analysis is listed below in Table 6 showing compliance in all years. The projected cash reserve balances
include annual increases in the monthly base rate and commodity rates.
Table 6
Cash reserve balances in the Operating Fund are projected to be stable throughout the analysis. This is a result
of strategically balancing the required financing of capital projects with the planned use of cash reserves.
There is no cash reserve requirement for revenue from the GPF because these funds are restricted to pay for
renewable water resources, infrastructure and associated debt. Although accounted for in the Operating Fund,
the GPF cash is segregated from the Operating Fund cash. It is not fiscally prudent to combine cash that has a
restricted use with cash that has unrestricted use when determining compliance with a cash reserve policy.
Expenses paid by GPF revenue are segregated from the general operating expenses for the purpose of
calculating the cash reserve requirement. In the proposed financial scenario, the projected cash reserve balance
for the GPF in each year of the analysis is listed below in Table 7.
Table 7
GPF cash reserve balances are projected to remain stable over the five-year projection period. This is a direct
result of balancing the use of cash and new debt service to pay for capital projects associated with the delivery
of additional CAP water through the NWRRDS project.
- 11 -
Operating Fund
Revenue Forecast
The Operating Fund is projected to have a cash balance of $4,813,539 at the beginning of Fiscal Year 2025-26
and is projected to have a balance of $5,405,931 at the end of Fiscal Year 2029/30. These funds may be used
for operating costs including personnel, operations and maintenance, capital improvements for the existing
potable water system and debt service.
Groundwater Preservation Fees are included in the Operating Fund; however, the revenues, expenses and cash
balances for the GPF are accounted for separately within the Operating Fund and are not included in the cash
balance above. The use of GPF funds is restricted to renewable water resources, infrastructure and associated
debt.
The following revenue forecast was based on analysis of the Water Utility’s historic water use trends and
projected growth in the number of new connections. The revenue forecast includes proposed increases in the
potable water base rates as shown below in Table 8.
Table 8
- 12 -
The revenue forecast includes proposed increases in the potable water commodity rates as shown below in
Table 9:
Table 9
The potable base rates are projected to increase annually beginning in Fiscal Year 2025/26 and continue with
modest increase through Fiscal Year 2029/30. The potable commodity rates are projected to increase
beginning in Fiscal Year 2025/26 and Fiscal Year 2026/27 and remain stable starting in Fiscal Year 2027/28.
The proposed base rate increase will generate revenue for the Water Utility’s fixed costs. Fixed costs are
expenses incurred that do not fluctuate based on the volume of water sold. Examples of fixed costs include, but
are not limited to, debt service, personnel, billing costs, fleet maintenance and regulatory costs. The proposed
commodity rate increases generate revenue for remaining costs not covered by the base rate. Commodity rates
are recovered with revenue generated from the volume of water sold.
Table 10 below includes the water sales for potable, reclaimed and GPF revenue forecast for the five-year
projection period using the proposed base and commodity rates:
Table 10
Other revenue generated by the Utility consists of service fees and charges. Service fees and charges include
funds received from an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Pima County Wastewater Reclamation
Department to provide monthly billing services on their behalf. Service fees and charges also include, but are
not limited to, new service establishment fees, late fees, reconnection fees, inspection fees and plan review
fees. The total of all service fees and charges are projected to generate annual revenue of $800,000.
Projections for interest income for the Operating Fund are a cumulative total of $684,343 over the five-year
period. Projected interest income for the GPF monies is a cumulative total of $432,906 over the five-year
period. The interest rate assumed for the projection period is 3 percent annually.
- 13 -
Revenue Requirements
Below in Table 11 is a summary of revenue requirements for the Operating Fund that were used in the
financial analysis. These revenue requirements exclude expenses to be paid with GPF revenue.
Table 11
Projected personnel costs include 3 percent annual merit increases, retirement contributions of 12.27 percent
and 3 percent annual increases in health care costs. There are no new employees being added within the five-
year projection period. A portion of the personnel costs are allocated to the reclaimed water system based on a
weighted average of 5.10 percent annually.
The projected operations and maintenance (O&M) costs for both the potable and reclaimed water systems are
based on the Fiscal Year 2024/25 budget and include inflationary increases of 3 percent annually. A cost
allocation model is used to allocate various administrative and operational costs to the reclaimed water system.
Costs charged by Tucson Water for wheeling reclaimed water are projected to increase 5 percent annually.
Central Arizona Project (CAP) wheeling costs are fees charged by Tucson Water to wheel Oro Valley’s CAP
water through their recharge and recovery system. The Intergovernmental Agreement with Tucson Water was
renegotiated in Fiscal Year 2016/17. Costs are projected to increase by 5 percent annually. The total annual
delivery of 2,850 acre feet is projected in the five-year projection period.
Central Arizona Project (CAP) water recharge costs represent costs to take annual delivery of the Utility’s
entire CAP water allotment of 10,305 acre feet. This water will be recharged and stored in various recharge
facilities including the Tucson Water facilities. Costs to take delivery of and store the CAP water are
calculated with the rate schedule adopted by the Central Arizona Project. The five-year projection period
includes an increase of 9 percent in Fiscal Year 2025/26 as projected by the CAP rate table.
Projected capital outlay for existing system improvements in this analysis includes well rehabilitation, tank
replacement, re-lining of reservoirs, booster station modifications, water main replacements, vehicles and
water meters. These projects will be cash-funded in the five-year projection period. The schedule for five-year
capital improvements may be found in Appendix C.
- 14 -
Potable existing system debt service is declining as debt is paid. GPF and WRSDIF debt service will increase
by approximately $17 million in FY 2024/25 for the NWRRDS project and will be paid back by GPF and
WRSDIF funds.
Expenses paid with GPF funds include the existing customers’ portion of CAP water capital costs associated
with ownership of the CAP water allotment. These costs increase annually based on projected rates developed
by the Central Arizona Project.
Debt service for the reclaimed water system is paid for with GPF funds. Outstanding debt on the reclaimed
water system will be paid in full by Fiscal Year 2029/30.
Table 12 is a summary of expenses paid with GPF revenue that were used in this financial analysis:
Table 12
- 15 -
Water Resource and System Development Impact Fee Fund
The Water Resource and Development Impact Fee Fund (WRSDIF) is used to account for development impact
fees collected. Revenues are from impact fees collected at the time water meters are purchased and from
interest income. Expenses include capital repayment obligation charges for the Town’s CAP allotment, CAP
infrastructure and associated debt incurred to deliver CAP water to the Town to meet the demands of future
growth. In addition, wells, pump stations, reservoirs and mains for the potable water system required to meet
the demands of future growth will also be financed with these impact fees.
The WRSDIF Fund is projected to have a cash balance of $8,213,117 at the beginning of FY 2025/26 and is
projected to have $2,237,243 at the end of FY 2029/30. The revenue sources for the WRSDIF Fund are from
impact fees collected when a water meter is purchased and from interest earned on cash balances. Interest
income is projected to be a total of $502,877 for this analysis. The interest rate assumed for the projection
period is 3 percent.
The revenue forecast was based on new service units related to the number of new connections. A service unit
is the equivalent of one single family residential (SFR) 5/8-inch water meter. The SFR service units are equal
to the number of new connections. Other service units are forecast based on pending development projects
within the Town. Other service units include commercial, multi-family and irrigation uses with the number of
service units depending on the estimated meter sizes for each project. In addition, the service units are
forecasted based on historic trends and pending development projects within the Town.
The impact fee for a SFR 5/8-inch water meter or one service unit is projected to be $6,387. It is assumed that
the Development Impact Fees will remain constant throughout the five-year projection period. Table 13 below
indicates the projected growth in service units and the revenue associated with that growth. These growth
projections are consistent with the Town’s financial planning.
Table 13
WRSDIF funds may be used for capital expenses related to CAP water. Capital costs assessed by the Central
Arizona Project for 3,000-acre feet of the Town’s CAP water allotment are included under operating expenses.
Capital expenses during this projection period total $5.5 million and include the design and construction of the
NWRRDS project that will deliver additional CAP water to the Town. Funds may also be used for capital
expenses related to potable water system improvements including wells, booster stations, reservoirs and water
mains required to meet the demands of new growth. Capital projects are identified in the five- year capital
improvement plan shown in Appendix C.
Debt service for previously constructed growth-related facilities is also paid from impact fee revenue.
The annual expenses and debt service for the WRSDIF Fund are listed in Table 14 (shown on next page)

Proposed Financial Scenario
Prior to developing forecasts, financial considerations were evaluated relating to projected operating costs,
capital expenses, the Water Utility’s existing cash reserves, existing outstanding debt and debt service
payments. When developing a proposed financial scenario, the goal of the Water Utility is to ensure all
existing rate setting policies are met, cash reserves are utilized to minimize future debt and proposed rate
increases do not result in rate shock. A rate setting policy included in the Mayor and Council Water Policies is
for the rate structures to be designed to encourage water conservation.
The development of water conservation pricing, also known as a tiered commodity rate, began in 1999 when a
second tier was added to the uniform or flat commodity rate. That structure evolved into four tiers by 2007.
The Water Utility has increased the tiered commodity rates to a level that encourages water conservation.
This year, the proposed financial scenario includes increases to both the potable base and commodity rates and
no increase to the reclaimed rates.
The chart below illustrates potable and reclaimed water deliveries remaining stable over the last ten years even
though the Water Utility experienced growth in the customer base.

Table 15 below illustrates how regional water providers have increased their base rate for a 5/8-inch meter to
compensate for the declines in water consumption as compared to the historical and the 2025 proposed rates
for Oro Valley.
Table 15
Table 16 illustrates Oro Valley’s proposed potable base and commodity rates per 1,000 gallons. Water rates of
other water providers in the region are included for comparison purposes along with water resource fees that
are similar to the Oro Valley Water Utility GPF.
Table 16
The Water Utility developed a proposed financial scenario that supports key financial and policy goals. The
proposed scenario generates the revenue needed to maintain an adequate cash balance in all funds over the
projected five-year period therefore meeting the cash reserve requirements in each year.
The financial projections for the Operating Fund and WRSDIF Fund were combined to evaluate the overall
debt service coverage at the end of each fiscal year. Analysis indicates that, under the proposed financial
scenario, the Utility will meet the debt service coverage requirement established by the Mayor and Council
Water Polices and bond covenants for all five years.
The proforma for the proposed financial scenario may be found in Appendix A. The assumptions used to
develop the financial projections in the proposed financial scenario may be found in Appendix D.
- 19 -
Recommendation on Water Rates
After reviewing the analysis of the two funds and their respective revenue requirements contained in the
proposed financial scenario, the Water Utility Commission and Water Utility staff recommend the following
for Fiscal Year 2025/26:
A. Increase to the potable water monthly base rates
B. Increase to the potable water commodity rates
A. Tables 17 & 18 are shown below the proposed potable water base rates and commodity rates for each
meter size. Approximately 84 percent of Utility customers have a 5/8-inch water meter and consume
an average of 7,000 gallons. These customers will see an increase in their bill of $1.81 per month.
Table 17
Cost per month
B. Table 18
Per 1,000 gallons
- 20 -
Direct comparison of specific base rates and commodity rates is not ideal for cost comparisons because of the
varying rate structures of each utility. A more effective comparison is to calculate the cost for specific
consumption levels for one month. Table 19 below provides a calculation of a monthly bill amount for a
single-family residential customer with a 5/8-inch meter for the water utilities surrounding the Oro Valley
Water Utility area.
Table 19
Proposed rates for all Oro Valley Water Utility meter sizes may be found in Appendix B. In addition, tables
that calculate monthly bills under the proposed rates may also be found in Appendix B. Monthly bill amounts
are calculated in 1,000-gallon increments for a 5/8-inch meters and a variety of increments for larger meter
sizes.
- 21 -
Conclusion
On an annual basis, the water rates analysis is prepared with the most up-to-date information available.
Operational needs and capital improvement requirements change annually and are carefully evaluated when
they are included in the analysis. It is important that the Water Utility perform a water rates analysis every year
to plan for changes in operating costs, capital costs or debt service.
This Water Rates Analysis Report is presented in support of the water rates contained in the proposed financial
scenario. The Oro Valley Water Utility Commission and the Water Utility staff respectfully recommend
approval of the water rates detailed in the proposed financial scenario.
The Oro Valley Water Utility staff and Commission are dedicated to serving the Town of Oro Valley and the
customers of its water utility and extend their appreciation to the Mayor and Council for consideration of the
recommended water rates.

PROPOSED FINANCIAL SCENARIO
ASSUMPTIONS FOR THE WATER UTILITY’S
OPERATING FUND
The Operating Fund is the primary fund for the Water Utility. The sources of revenue are water sales, service-
related charges and Groundwater Preservation Fees (GPF). Expenses for administration, operations, existing
system improvements and debt service are accounted for in this fund.
Beginning Cash Balance
The beginning cash balance is estimated based on budgeted revenues, expenses and known cost over runs for
FY 2024/25. Actual cash balances on the 6/30/24 balance sheet is added to budgeted revenues, less budgeted
expenses and known unbudgeted expenses.
Cash Reserve Requirement
Mayor and Town Council Water Policies require the Utility to maintain cash reserves in the Operating Fund of
not less than 20% of the combined total of the annual budgeted amounts for personnel, O&M and debt service.
This specifically excludes expenses for capital projects, depreciation, amortization, and contingency.
Growth Projections
New Development growth projections for FY 2025-26 through FY 2029-30 were based on data provided by the
Town’s New Development Permitting Manager and were updated with information from the Town’s Finance
Department to be consistent with the Town’s financial forecasting.

Water Sales and Water Use Consumption Trends
The average monthly water consumption for a residential customer with a 5/8 -inch water meter in FY 2023-24
was 7,000 gallons per month. To account for the overall average continued decline in water consumption, this
analysis assumes 7,000 gallons per month. Projected reclaimed deliveries are based on Water Utility Director
estimates.
Service-Related Revenues
Service-related revenues are based on the proposed FY 2025-26 budget. Service-related revenues include
billing for sewer fees on behalf of Pima County Wastewater and the Town’s Storm Water Department.
Additionally, other service-related revenues include late fees, reconnect fees, new service establishment fees,
backflow permitting fees, engineering plan review fees and construction inspection fees.
Groundwater Preservation Fees (GPF)
GPF revenues are based on water consumption for FY 2023-24. The GPF funds are dedicated to paying for
water resources other than groundwater as it relates to debt service, capital costs, CAP delivery costs and
water wheeling.
D-1
PROPOSED FINANCIAL SCENARIO
ASSUMPTIONS FOR THE WATER UTILITY’S
OPERATING FUND (continued
Interest Income
Interest rates are projected at 3% annually over the 5-year pro-forma. The projected interest rate was
provided by the Town’s Finance Department.
Personnel
No new employees were added during the projection period. Annual merit increases are projected to be 3%
annually and health care costs are projected to increase by 3% annually. It is projected that the Arizona State
Retirement System (ASRS) contribution is projected to increase 1% annually over the five-year projection
period.
Inflation Rates
Inflation rates are projected at 3% annually over the 5-year pro-forma.
O&M Potable Expenses
These expenses are based on the Water Utility’s budget for FY 2024-25 plus 3% inflation.
O&M CAP Wheeling Expenses - Potable
This expense includes the fees charged by Tucson Water to wheel the Town’s CAP water through their recharge
and recovery system in accordance with an IGA. The increases are projected to be 5% annually over the 5-year
pro-forma. It is also assumed that the Utility will wheel 2,850 AF annually.
O&M CAP Recharge Expenses - Potable
This expense is based on the rate schedule adopted by CAP 6/1/23. The figures represent the annual expense
to deliver the Utility’s entire allotment of CAP water (10,305 AF) for recharge.
O&M Reclaimed Expenses
Pursuant to the existing IGA, the reclaimed water is delivered on a non -interruptible basis at an interruptible
rate. Inflationary increases of 3% are included annually.
The Town delivers more reclaimed water than it is entitled to. To cover this shortfall the cost to purchase
additional reclaimed water from Tucson Water has been included annually.
Additionally, the O&M expenses include allocations for personnel, administrative costs and fleet service costs.
The reclaimed cost allocation model was used to allocate these costs using a variety of methodologies.
O&M CAP Capital Expenses
This expense is paid for from the GPF funds and is based on 7,305 AF per the rate schedule adopted by CAP
6/6/24.

SUBJECT:
DISCUSSION REGARDING COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STAFF REPORT REGARDING
ORO VALLEY RETAIL AND RESTAURANT GAP ANALYSIS
RECOMMENDATION:
There is not a recommendation since this is a study session.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Understanding the Town of Oro Valley General Fund relies on Sales Taxes to cover approximately 50% of overall
general fund revenues, the Oro Valley Town Council Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2021 to 2023 included an
objective that read as follows:
Conduct an external retail market assessment by a qualified firm to provide targeted data designed to
assist the town in attracting and retaining restaurant and retail establishments.
Using Placer.ai, Community and Economic Development staff have created Oro Valley’s first Retail and
Restaurant Leakage Analysis.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
The Town of Oro Valley General Fund relies on Sales Taxes to cover approximately 50% of overall general fund
revenues. Thus, the Oro Valley Town Council Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2021 to 2023 included an objective
that read as follows:
Conduct an external retail market assessment by a qualified firm to provide targeted data designed to
assist the town in attracting and retaining restaurant and retail establishments.
Then-Town Manager Mary Jacobs and the Community and Economic Development Director recommended
delaying the initiation of the assessment until after the following occurred: 1) Arizona lifting pandemic-related
public gatherings and other restrictions impacting patronage at restaurants and retail establishments, 2)
Stabilization of national, state, and local economies after demonstrating that society had returned to most
pre-pandemic shopping and dining habits. Then-Governor Doug Ducey removed the first restrictions on
businesses and public gatherings March 25, 2021, then lifted the full emergency declarations on March 31, 2022.
In response, staff began creating a Scope of Work for a Retail Analysis and a corresponding budget ask for the
FY22-23 budget.
However, staff presented Town Council with an alternative option for FY23-24 to conduct the retail analysis since
analysis cost estimates increased to over $60,000 and the availability of software such as Placer.ai became
available to government entities. Costing approximately $28,000 per year and providing the staff updated data
sets every three days, Placer.ai has allowed staff the ability to not only create this retail analysis, but it has
provided retail spend analysis for chain stores and restaurants, special event attendance, spending, and traffic
pattern data, Oro Valley visitor spend and travel data, and a host of other data sets that help analyze and define
the Oro Valley economy.
Using Placer.ai, Community and Economic Development staff have created Oro Valley’s first Retail and
Using Placer.ai, Community and Economic Development staff have created Oro Valley’s first Retail and
Restaurant Leakage Analysis. Since Placer.ai continually updates the program’s data sets, Town staff will have
near-instantaneous access to invaluable economic development information to be able to track the efficacy of
study implementation strategies and to be able to share it with Small Business and Tourism partners in support of
Comprehensive Economic Development and Tourism strategies.
FISCAL IMPACT:
To be determined based on the percentage of recaptured retail and restaurant sales lost to Oro Valley residents
shopping and Adinine outside the Town.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
There is not a recommended motion this is a study session.

For instance, crossing a border to buy goods instead of making the same purchase from local
shops.

brands that visitors visit before and after your selected Point of Interest (POI). The percentages
show the share of visitors who visited a particular location before or after the analyzed POI.
Section 2: Retail and Restaurant Leakage
This report provides a leakage analysis: the businesses and restaurants Oro Valley residents
patronize and the types of goods that are purchased both inside and outside of Oro Valley. The
value of this lost revenue and probable causes for these losses are also identified and are
referred to as “retail and restaurant gaps.”
The following tables define leakage that has occurred the previous three years (2022-2024),
January 1 – December 31 by spending category. The tables were created by Town staff using
Placer.ai data and identify the number of visits made by Oro Valley residents to the listed
business types outside of Oro Valley and the number of residents that made the visits. The last
column shows how many visits each resident would have made to reach the total (i.e.
5,102,636 visits were made to community shopping centers by 55,990 residents. 5,102,636 ÷
55,990 = 91%) and are listed in descending order by number of resident visits. Please note that
residents are classified by home location which is where a device spends the night on a regular
basis over the last 30 days.
8 | P a g e
For the purposes of this report, residents of zip
codes 85737, 85755 and 85739 are included in the
total Oro Valley population. Staff chose these zip
codes for analysis based on a desire to represent as
accurately as possible the Town’s overall local
market and resident area understanding that
Placer.ai does not allow for splits in zip codes to
determine population
Staff included 85739 based on the number of visits
from Catalina and Saddlebrook residents to Oro
Valley retail, service, medical, and restaurant
destinations. Conversely, staff excluded 85704
from the population set since it was too difficult to
carve out the Oro Valley residences from those in
the unincorporated areas of Pima County and obtain valid statistical information from Placer.ai.
The impacts of this choice are a reduction in the overall population for Oro Valley and a
resulting reduction in leakage amounts among the major sectors.

Section 4: Market Analysis of Lost Revenue
Placer.ai contracts Synergos Technologies, Inc. (STI), a third-party company, to provide data in
the creation of a market analysis of lost revenue when Oro Valley residents make purchases
outside of Oro Valley. The table below identifies the top ten categories of unmet need, or the
leakage in retail and restaurant sectors. The dollar values are from calendar year 2024.
Categories are listed in descending amount based on percentage loss between unmet need and
demand. For example, Oro Valley residents spent $20,648,843 at clothing stores but
$19,682,821 of that amount was spent at clothing stores outside of Oro Valley. This equals a
95% loss.

To further identify leakage from specific stores, the following visuals compare sales data of five
chain stores with locations in Oro Valley and other locations in the greater Tucson metropolitan
area: Ross Dress for Less, Kohls, Walmart, Target, and The Home Depot Store. The chart
following each diagram identifies each location, visits from Oro Valley residents, average sales
amounts of those visits, and the amount of uncaptured sales tax. The leakage amounts
demonstrate that Oro Valley residents do shop outside the Town where the same offerings are
available, and that leakage is not limited to residents shopping when then option does not exist
locally.

Section 5: Exploring Reasons Why Oro Valley Residents Make Purchases and
Dine Outside Oro Valley
This analysis shows that there are two main reasons why Oro Valley residents make purchases
outside of Oro Valley: lack of availability and convenience. Lack of availability is clearly
evidenced by the fact that the highest percentage of retail sales loss is because there are no
automobile dealers in Oro Valley. Similarly, the chain store analysis in Section Four
demonstrates that residents will shop opportunistically as well.
This reason for retail loss is also apparent in Table 4 above which shows the dollar amount of
unmet need in Oro Valley and the Top Ten Categories of Retail Loss table that lists businesses
visited by Oro Valley residents. 63 of the 81 businesses listed (not including the community
shopping centers) are not in Oro Valley. The 18 businesses identified in bold print DO HAVE A
LOCATION IN ORO VALLEY, yet residents are shopping at the non-Oro Valley locations.
One type of convenience shopping is when Oro Valley residents leave Town for their
employment and may find it more convenient to make purchases during a commute or over a
work break rather than returning to Oro Valley. Electronic Shopping and Mail Order Houses
(Non-store Retailers) are also types of convenience shopping and are also a significant source of
retail loss. Large portions of this type of shopping have been termed the “Amazon effect” for
the last several years and are a major contributor to lost revenue for all municipalities.
The final example of convenience shopping occurs when Oro Valley residents shop at a business
not available in Town and then complete their other retail needs at businesses near that store
even though the same business may have an Oro Valley location, most often at a dedicated
retail node. Further supporting the concept of retail node attraction, the following diagrams
demonstrate the retail losses and sales tax losses during 2024 for three different commercial
nodes (Tucson Auto Mall, Costco, Foothills Mall) that are visited by Oro Valley residents.

A larger attraction factor to consider when
looking at the reason for leakage is retail
gravitation. William J. Reilly (Education: Dr.
Reilly’s Thoughts. Time. August 1, 1938.)
developed a simple theory in 1931 that
describes how shoppers feel a pull to travel
to a larger, urban area because: 1) they can
find more variety and may have a better
overall shopping experience, and 2) the
distance separating the cities is not a
disincentive for travel. According to Reilly,
the strength of the pull is proportional to
both the differences in the sizes of the
cities and the distance between each.
Other factors influencing the strength of
retail pull include social influences such as
younger shoppers visiting malls as a social experience and demographic behaviors specific to
large groups of people (John Quincy Stewart. Sociometry, 1947).
With much of Tucson’s and surrounding Pima County’s retail and dining offerings within a 30-
minute drive from Oro Valley, residents may acquiesce to this pull to travel outside Oro Valley
and shop/dine. An example of such gravitation is present in the following diagram which
compares two restaurants with similar average ticket sizes: Carrabba’s Italian Grill in Oro Valley
restaurant and The Cheesecake Factory near Tucson Mall. The Cheesecake Factory is an
example of gravitational pull as the restaurant requires a 15 to 25-minute drive time from
various residential areas in Oro Valley and is located near the Tucson Mall with more potential
to create an individual dining experience in additional to possible shopping opportunities. The
concept of pull is further developed considering the Tucson Auto Mall, a major source of
leakage for Oro Valley, is near The Cheesecake Factory.

Section 6: Conclusions and Recommendations
In conclusion, and to make a very broad and simplified statement about Oro Valley’s retail
leakage, it occurs primarily because of the lack of available business types such as automobile
dealers, super stores, specific popular convenience restaurants and from residents choosing
convenience shopping choices over shopping at the same Oro Valley business.
There are three priority actions staff recommend the Town take to mitigate the high level of
retail sales revenue and tax loss:
1. Educate residents about the importance of retail and restaurant sales taxes on the
Town’s budget (the WHY) and how this tax money is used to provide desired services
and products (safety, road improvements, shade structures, pickleball courts, parks,
etc.).
2. Develop and promote an active shop and dine-local program in coordination with the
Oro Valley Chamber of Commerce to reinforce the WHY education messaging.
3. Recruit businesses of the types and brands identified in the leakage report that are not
currently available but are likely feasible based on location, market size, and traffic
counts. Expectations for recruitment should be tempered considering the following
factors:
• Site topography limiting the overall site development size
• Smaller parcel sizes limiting larger commercial development
• The total market populations in 10-, 20-, and 30-mile increments from certain
commercial nodes in Oro Valley where unoccupied buildings and undeveloped
lots and pads exist.
From a performance perspective, the goal of the above strategies is reducing the estimated
amount of unmet need calculated in Section Four of $892,751,642. The goal revenue amount
will fluctuate based on economic conditions, but key performance indicators can be developed
to demonstrate the effectiveness of all three efforts, thinking that every $10,000,000 in
additional taxable sales generated or recaptured will generate a corresponding $250,000 in
sales tax.
27 | P a g e
Additionally, communicating specific values related to the importance of shopping and dining in
Oro Valley transcends data. Rather, the importance of shopping and dining in Oro Valley is a
specific story about resident/town values that deserves telling. Generally, Oro Valley residents
value the following aspects of the Town, in no specific order:
• Personal security and safety
• Respect for nature and the environment
• Town’s cultural and arts assets
• Small town feel.
Communicating the need to shop and dine locally in terms of a storytelling approach will
involve enumerating these values and their importance to residents, explaining the likely
consequences of not shopping in the Town, and detailing the actions needed to solve the
problem of retail and restaurant leakage. For example, the following storytelling approach
could become the rallying point for a shop/dine local program:
The Town of Oro Valley relies heavily on the local retail sales and
restaurant sales taxes to support quality of life amenities for residents,
AND residents are requesting more and higher quality amenities, BUT the
sales taxes lost from shopping outside Oro Valley town limits the Town’s
ability to meet these needs. THEREFORE, it’s imperative that the Town
educate residents about the importance of shopping and dining in Oro
Valley to change their spending habits and generate needed revenues.

Retail and Restaurant Leakage and Surplus: What is it?
A situation in which income exits an economy instead
of staying within. In retail, leakage refers to
consumers spending money outside the local market.
For instance, crossing a border to buy goods instead
of making the same purchase from local shops.
A retail surplus means that the community's trade
area is capturing the local market plus attracting non-
local shoppers.

Retail Gap/Leakage: Why is it important?
The Oro Valley Story: The Town of Oro Valley
relies heavily on the local retail sales and
restaurant sales taxes to support quality of life
amenities for residents, AND residents are
requesting more and higher quality amenities,
BUT the sales taxes lost from shopping outside
Oro Valley town limits the Town’s ability to meet
these needs. THEREFORE, it’s imperative that
the Town educate residents about the
importance of shopping and dining in Oro Valley
to change their spending habits.
