October 26, 2011Vincent C. Schoemehl, Jr., andMembers of the Board of CommissionersBi-State Development Agency of theMissouri-Illinois <strong>Metro</strong>politan District (d/b/a METRO)Gentlemen:State law requires that governmental agencies publish within six months of the close of each fiscalyear a complete set of financial statements presented in conformity with U.S. Generally AcceptedAccounting Principles (U.S. GAAP) and audited in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted AuditingStandards by a firm of licensed certified public accountants. Pursuant to that requirement, we herebytransmit the <strong>Comprehensive</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Financial</strong> <strong>Report</strong> of the Bi-State Development Agency of theMissouri-Illinois <strong>Metro</strong>politan District (dba <strong>Metro</strong>) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of <strong>Metro</strong> andmanagement assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all the informationpresented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for these representations, management hasestablished a comprehensive internal control framework designed both to protect the Agency’s assetsfrom loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient, reliable information for the preparation of <strong>Metro</strong>’sfinancial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should notoutweigh the benefits, <strong>Metro</strong>’s controls are designed to provide reasonable rather than absoluteassurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, weassert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in allmaterial respects.The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts anddisclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significantestimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Theindependent auditor concluded that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinionthat <strong>Metro</strong>’s basic financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, are fairly presented inconformity with U.S. GAAP. The independent auditor’s report precedes the Management Discussionand Analysis (MD&A) in the financial section of this report.iii


The independent audit of the financial statements of <strong>Metro</strong> was part of a broader, federally mandated“Single Audit” designed to meet the special needs of the federal grantor agencies. The standardsgoverning Single Audit engagements require the independent auditor to report not only on the fairpresentation of the financial statements, but also on the government’s internal controls andcompliance with legal requirements, with special emphasis on internal controls and legal requirementsinvolving the administration of federal awards. These federally mandated reports are available in theAgency’s separately issued Single Audit <strong>Report</strong> in conformity with the provisions of the United StatesOffice of Management and Budget Circular A-133. Under this provision, the Federal <strong>Transit</strong>Administration (FTA) is the cognizant agency for <strong>Metro</strong>.Basic <strong>Financial</strong> Statements. These statements include net assets as of June 30, 2011, and June30, 2010; statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets; and statements of cashflows for the years ended June 30, 2011, and June 30, 2010.U.S. GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introductory overview and analysis toaccompany the basic financial statements. This letter of transmittal is designed to complement theMD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. <strong>Metro</strong>’s MD&A can be found immediately afterthe report of the independent auditors.<strong>Financial</strong> PoliciesBanking and Investment. Agency policies direct the investment of all operating, self-insurancerestricted, capital and debt service funds of all entities of the Bi-State Development Agency notexpressly controlled by Revenue Bond Trustees. The preservation of funds is the firstconsideration in determining the investment of Agency cash. Thereafter, the highest yieldconsistent with safety is required, provided the maturities are short enough to maintain operationalliquidity. Banks and other financial institutions are selected for investments only on a competitivebasis. The number of demand-deposit, non-interest bearing accounts is kept to the minimum foroperational efficiency and safety. It is the Board of Commissioners (the Board) intent to have themajority of the available funds invested in local institutions, provided the institutions meet theminimum credit standings set out below and yields are competitive.<strong>Financial</strong> <strong>Report</strong>ing Policy. It is the practice of the Agency to prepare quarterly financial resultsof each operating company and to distribute these results to the Board. The reports shall include:Balance Sheets and Operating Statements in Budget comparison format; Cash Receipts andDisbursement Schedules; Cash Flows Statement; Active Capital Expenditure <strong>Report</strong> in Budgetcomparison format; Aged Receivables <strong>Report</strong>; Personnel Status <strong>Report</strong>; and a summary ofnoteworthy deviations in the above reports.Budget Process. The annual budget serves as the foundation for <strong>Metro</strong>’s financial planning andcontrol. All enterprises are required to submit expenditure requests in preparation for a new fiscalyear budget. These requests are used as a starting point for budget development. The preparationand approval of the annual budget is both an internal and external process. The proposed budget isinitially presented to the Board for approval. It is subsequently reviewed by the Public TransportationCommission in St. Louis County, the Ways and Means Committee of the Board of Aldermen in St.Louis City, and the St. Clair County <strong>Transit</strong> District in Illinois. For the Gateway Arch, the National ParkService must also approve the annual budget.iv


Sources of Local Match Funding for Capital and Operating Budget.The predominant sources of revenue include appropriation of regional sales taxes from the City of St.Louis and St. Louis County, federal grant funds, funds from the Illinois Department of Transportationand the St. Clair County <strong>Transit</strong> District, State of Missouri subsidies, passenger fares, and auxiliaryincome. These revenues are broken into jurisdictions:Illinois Sources. There are two primary sources for funding from Illinois: CapitalContributions from the State of Illinois and St. Clair County <strong>Transit</strong> District and payments fortransit services from St. Clair County <strong>Transit</strong> District. The Illinois Department of Transportation(IDOT) is authorized to provide capital assistance to <strong>Metro</strong> for capital grants, covering up to100 percent of the local share requirement. Historically, IDOT usually provides the full localmatch for capital projects located in Illinois, buses used to provide service in Illinois, and ashare of the capital projects that benefit Illinois customers, but are located in Missouri.Effective January 1, 1995, St. Clair County adopted an additional ½ cent countywide sales tax.The revenue from this tax can be used only for capital projects, debt service or operating andmaintenance costs related to <strong>Metro</strong>Link light-rail systems. St. Clair County <strong>Transit</strong> Districtcontracts with <strong>Metro</strong> for bus and light rail service and Alternative Transportation Service (ATS)maintenance.Missouri Sources. Funding for Missouri projects comes from the City of St. Louis, St. LouisCounty and the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT). The City of St. Louis andSt. Louis County collect revenue from ½ cent and ¼ cent local sales taxes. Beginning thisfiscal year with the passage of Prop A, St. Louis County collects an additional ½ cent and theCity of St. Louis collects an additional ¼ cent. Both the City and the County appropriate all oftheir receipts from the ¼ cent sales tax to <strong>Metro</strong>. The City of St. Louis appropriates virtually allof its revenues from the ½ cent sales tax and Prop A to <strong>Metro</strong>. St. Louis County splits revenuecollected from the ½ cent sales tax between <strong>Metro</strong> and County road and bridge projects. Theyalso appropriated $39.5 million of the Prop A funds to <strong>Metro</strong>, of which $3 million was set asidefor future capital projects. Excluding Prop A, the County appropriated approximately $34.0million and $34.8 million to <strong>Metro</strong> in FY 2011 and FY 2010, respectively. From FY 2002through FY 2008, the County’s ½ cent sales-tax appropriation to <strong>Metro</strong> was indexed with theConsumer Price Index. At least 2 percent of the appropriations to <strong>Metro</strong> from the ½ cent salestax must be used for transportation for developmentally disadvantaged persons. The balanceis usually required to fund Missouri operations. MoDOT provides <strong>Metro</strong> with limited operatingand FTA discretionary capital assistance.Agency ProfileHistorical Overview. The Bi-State Development Agency (Agency) was established on September20, 1949, by an interstate compact passed by the state legislatures of Illinois and Missouri andapproved by both governors. The compact was approved by the U. S. Congress and signed byPresident Harry S. Truman on August 31, 1950. A 10-member Board of Commissioners sets policyand direction for the Agency. The governor of Missouri appoints five commissioners and the CountyBoards of St. Clair and Madison Counties in Illinois appoint five. All commissioners must be residentvoters of the prospective state and are appointed to terms of up to five years. The compact createdan organization that has broad powers with the ability to plan, construct, maintain, own and operatebridges, tunnels, airports and terminal facilities; plan and establish policies for sewage and drainagefacilities and other public projects; issues bonds and exercise such additional powers as conferredupon it by the legislatures of both states.v


In its first years, the Agency participated in or conducted several studies that included acomprehensive plan for development of the Missouri-Illinois <strong>Metro</strong>politan District, a survey of chemicaland biological pollution of the Mississippi River, and an exhaustive study of the St. Louis Countysewer problem that contributed to creation of the <strong>Metro</strong>politan St. Louis Sewer District. The Agencyhas also sponsored a coordinated interstate-highway planning action related to surveying highwaysand expressways. The most significant project undertaken in the early years was the construction ofa 600-foot wharf at Granite City, Illinois, in 1953.The diverse organization we know today as <strong>Metro</strong> began in 1962 when the Agency was asked to fundand operate the tram system that would carry visitors to the top of the Gateway Arch Monument. A$3.3 million revenue bond issue was completed in July 1962 and the Agency’s relationship with theGateway Arch began. An agreement was reached in October 1962 that the Agency would assist inreopening Parks <strong>Metro</strong>politan Airport in Cahokia, Illinois. After a series of approvals and resolutions,the Agency purchased the Airport in 1964 for $3.4 million. In July 1999, the Board of Commissionersrenamed it St. Louis Downtown Airport. The Agency entered public-transit service in 1963 when itpurchased and consolidated 15 privately owned bus and streetcar lines through a $26.5 million bondissue. The Agency issued a $10.0 million revenue bond in 1986 for construction of the Arch ParkingFacility, a multi-level, 1,241 parking-space parking facility located on the grounds of the JeffersonNational Expansion Memorial. In July 2001, the Agency purchased the Becky Thatcher and TomSawyer Riverboats and barges to preserve the St. Louis Riverfront experience.Public Mass <strong>Transit</strong>Today, <strong>Metro</strong> is best known for providing public transit services. <strong>Metro</strong>’s main purpose is to operatethree modes of transportation service: <strong>Metro</strong>Bus, <strong>Metro</strong>Link light rail, and <strong>Metro</strong> Call-A-Ride demandresponseservice. <strong>Metro</strong>’s largest union, the Amalgamated <strong>Transit</strong> Union Division 788, representsbus, rail and van operators, and maintenance and clerical employees. The International Brotherhoodof Electrical Workers Locals 2 and 309 represents electricians. In fiscal year 2011 (July 1, 2010 toJune 30, 2011), <strong>Metro</strong> carried 43.0 million customers and operated 26.0 million revenue miles ofservice in a 558 square-mile service area that includes the City of St. Louis and St. Louis County inMissouri, and St. Clair, Madison and Monroe counties in Illinois.Bus service. <strong>Metro</strong> has operated its bus network since 1963 and <strong>Metro</strong>Bus remains the largestcomponent of the multi-modal system.Light rail. Construction of the light-rail system began in the late 1980s. A 37.9-mile alignment wasconstructed in two stages between Lambert International Airport and Shiloh, Illinois. The first stagewas opened July 1993. It quickly became one of the most successful light-rail systems in the UnitedStates. In August 2006, <strong>Metro</strong>Link opened the Cross County extension south to Shrewsbury,Missouri, creating a total of 46 miles of light-rail track.Demand response. <strong>Metro</strong> Call-A-Ride began a demand-response service in 1988 primarily toprovide transit access to customers with disabilities who are unable to use fixed-route service. Withthe opening of the <strong>Transit</strong> Access Center in February 2004, <strong>Metro</strong> partnered with the WashingtonUniversity Occupational Therapy Program to provide interviews and functional assessments todetermine paratransit eligibility through Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for <strong>Metro</strong> Call-A-Rideservices. These services were taken in-house in 2006. Both the vehicle expansion and assessmentprogram are designed to ensure <strong>Metro</strong> meets the federal mandate of full ADA compliance.vi


Business EnterprisesAll other operating entities fall under <strong>Metro</strong>’s Business Enterprises organization. The Gateway Archhas enjoyed significant success and is the most recognized landmark in the St. Louis region. It is oneof the most-visited national memorials, attracting three million visitors annually. The Arch ParkingFacility provides parking to visitors of the Gateway Arch, riverfront and Laclede’s Landing. GatewayRiverfront attractions operate the Becky Thatcher and Tom Sawyer Riverboats, a heliport and bikerentals. The St. Louis Downtown Airport is a full-service aviation center located within eight minutesof downtown St. Louis that has grown to be the third-busiest airport in Illinois behind Chicago’s twocommercial airports.The table below provides additional business information. Of particular note, the <strong>Metro</strong>Link pockettrack completed in Fairview Heights, Illinois, in October 2008 increased the amount of light-railservice. On March 30, 2009, a service reduction affected all statistics for the fourth quarter of 2009.Since the miles added by the pocket track were greater than the miles reduced in the fourth quarter, itgives a false appearance of an upward trend for <strong>Metro</strong>Link in 2009. While the State of Missouri cameto <strong>Metro</strong>’s aid, in August 2009, with a promise of ARRA funds that allowed a partial restoration ofservice, the majority of service reductions remained in effect until June 28, 2010, negatively affectingnearly the entire 2010 fiscal year. Service levels were put back in phases and by August 2010 thesystem was at pre-reductions levels.vii

Business Enterprises primarily generatesoperating revenues through business segment operations.St. Louis is a diverse economic environment, but it is not immune from broader economic trends.Major employers in the region include healthcare, supermarkets, and universities and they haveremained stable. St. Louis is the world headquarters for 21 Fortune 1000 companies includingviii


Emerson Electric, Express Scripts and Monsanto. (See page 99 in the statistical section for St. Louismetro area major employers.)The St. Louis region is located near the geographic and population center of the nation and hasaccess to four modes of transportation; air, rail, road, and water. We have four interstate highwaysand four interstate highway linkages. Lambert International Airport, a dozen regional airports and<strong>Metro</strong>Link provide options for local commuting. St. Louis is one of the nation’s largest rail centers andis home to six Class I railroads and several smaller industrial lines, along with Amtrak service. St.Louis, the second largest inland port, offers more than 100 docks and terminal facilities servingapproximately 2,500 barges annually.The annual average 2010 unemployment rate of 10.0 percent fell to 9.0 percent in June 2011 in theSt. Louis, MO-IL <strong>Metro</strong>politan Statistical Area (MSA), but was still significantly higher than the 2008annual average of 6.4 percent. (See annual unemployment rates by county in the StatisticalSection of this document.) While national home sales showed some improvement over the pastyear, improved home sales in the St. Louis region came with deflated home prices.Regional sales taxes are the largest source of subsidy for public transportation in Missouri.Unemployment clearly impacts sales taxes as illustrated by the fall of retail sales. The regionexperienced some recovering in sales taxes at the end of FY2011. Sales tax collections increased by3.0% in St. Louis County between 2011 and 2010 and also increased in the City of St. Louis by 1.5%over the same period. While trending upward, sales taxes are still considerably below levels prior to2008. With the State of Missouri experiencing economic budget pressures due to declining revenues,the state has reduced its operating subsidy to the Agency almost entirely providing support under$200,000 in FY2011.The economic climate has also impacted Business Enterprise units. In recent years, the GatewayArch, Arch Parking Facility, Riverboats, and the St. Louis Downtown Airport have experienced mixedchanges in business volume. The St. Louis Downtown Airport has been affected by the sloweconomy and the Riverboats have been plagued by high flood waters, forcing them to close forbusiness during portions of their busy season.ix

Regional support for public transportation was overwhelmingly demonstrated bySt. Louis County voters with passage of a ½ cent sales tax April 6, 2010 to restore prior servicecuts and support future system improvements. St. Louis City had passed a similar tax in 1997contingent on reciprocal tax passage in St. Louis County; therefore, additional tax collections forpublic transportation occurred in St. Louis City as well.In 2011, the Agency began taking the actions outlined in “Moving <strong>Transit</strong> Forward” designed topromote regional economic development, strengthen <strong>Metro</strong> <strong>Transit</strong> as a vital regional asset,provide quality transit access to more people, improve service to low-income, elderly, and disabledresidents, and include projects that are cost-effective. Immediate action outlined in the strategicplan included service restoration, planning of bus rapid transit (BRT) and the next <strong>Metro</strong>Linkextension. The Agency restored services in a phased approach beginning June 2010 andcontinuing through November 2010. System ridership has increased 5.8 percent over FY 2010.The Agency is pursuing federal grants to study, plan and design BRT and the next <strong>Metro</strong>Linkextension. <strong>Financial</strong> stabilization of the system also allows <strong>Metro</strong> to focus and promote a strongcomprehensive capital program which includes revenue vehicle and equipment replacement,infrastructure maintenance, information technology modernization, transit development, andhealth, safety and security projects. Long-term actions will include future construction andoperation of BRT and the pursuit of federal and state resources to provide future expansionopportunities for <strong>Metro</strong>Link.With the exception of the Parking Facility, all other Business Enterprises entities have experiencedlower service levels in 2011 as compared to 2009 due to the impact of the recession. (See threeyearstatistical data chart above.) Despite the poor economy, the St. Louis Downtown Airport has59 thx


moved forward with the dedication of its new fire house and emergency management facility inJanuary 2011. The project was funded through a $5 million ARRA grant. The establishment of apermanent home for the fire department is one of the factors which will allow the Downtown Airportto attract larger commercial craft. Since 2008, the fire department had been housed in an emptyhangar; and prior to 2008, the airport relied upon neighboring fire districts to serve their needs.Key management and Board of Commissioner changes occurred in FY2011. These changes mark anew era for the Bi-State Development Agency as focus turns to transit oriented development andregional partnerships that can ultimately strengthen the St. Louis <strong>Metro</strong>politan region. In September2010, the Board hired John M. Nations as President and CEO. Mr. Nations, who served as a threetermMayor of Chesterfield, MO, was also a key spokesman and important member of the diversecoalition in St. Louis County which helped pass Prop A. <strong>Metro</strong> also hired a Vice President ofEconomic Development, John Langa. Michael Buehlhorn, a new commissioner representing thestate of Illinois, has previously served as Executive Director of the <strong>Metro</strong> East Park and RecreationDistrict, as a member of the Technology Advisor Group for the City Arch River Foundation and, likeMr. Nations, has served as a Mayor of Swansea from 1985 to 2003. He also currently serves as thePresident of the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Southern Illinois for both the Bellville and MountVernon chapters.Awards and Acknowledgements<strong>Metro</strong> and <strong>Metro</strong> personnel received a number of awards and acknowledgements during FY2011.The following represents the most outstanding recognitions:• President and CEO, John Nations, was honored by the University of Missouri – St. Louis at its20 th <strong>Annual</strong> Founders dinner with a 2011 Distinguished Alumni award.• Senior Vice President and COO, Ray Friem was recognized by the FTA as the Region VIITransportation Manager of the Year.• Bus Driver Brian Alexander received an award for heroism from the City of East St. Louis.

Bi-State Development Agency of theMissouri-Illinois <strong>Metro</strong>politan DistrictManagement’s Discussion and AnalysisJune 30, 2011 and 2010The largest factors affecting 2009 were partial year transit service reductions requiringpersonnel reductions March 30, 2009. The last salary and wage adjustment impacting mostof the organization occurred in 2009. Salaries and wages were frozen in 2010 and 2011;therefore, changes in the wages and benefits line are attributed to expansion or reduction ofthe transit system between 2009 and 2011. Large components of benefits include medicaland pension related costs which have trended upward. The number of casualty and liabilityclaim have been favorable over the three-year period due to an aggressive safety program;However the cost of each claim has risen as medical costs rise. Wages and benefitsrepresent the largest expense category (see chart on page 7).Total non-operating revenues consist primarily of Federal Section 5307 funds, Missouri andIllinois operating assistance and City of St. Louis and St. Louis County ¼ and ½ cent andrecently authorized ½ cent (Prop A) and ¼ cent (Prop M2) sales taxes from St. Louis Countyand City for FY2011. In 2010, total grants and assistance revenues were positively impactedby a one-time award of $8.0 million from the State of Missouri and negatively impacted bydeclining sales tax revenues from St. Louis County and the City of St. Louis. St. Clair Countyassistance increased in 2010 due to additional Illinois service. Total grants and assistancerevenues in 2009 were impacted by CMAQ and MODOT grants to help alleviate congestionduring the I-64 highway rebuilding program. Interest revenue was $28.0 million in 2009,decreased to $16.4 million in 2010 and decreased to $598 thousand in 2011. The 2011 and2010 decreases were related to the termination of capital lease/leasebacks, while 2011 wasalso impacted by low interest rates on investments.A key component of non-operating expenses consists of interest expense incurred fromcapital lease activity and Mass <strong>Transit</strong> Sales Tax Appropriation Bonds totaling $22.9 millionand $43.2 million for 2011 and 2010, respectively. The favorable change in interest expenserelates to the termination of capital lease/leasebacks. Also included in the non-operatingexpense category are contributions to outside entities. Contributions to outside entitiesincluded $2.1 million, $1.3 million and $1.8 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.Fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009 were also impacted by contributions to shelteredworkshops of approximately $1.1 million, $1.0 million, and 1.3 million, respectively, whichrepresents a legal obligation of approximately 2.0% of the St. Louis City and County ½ centTransportation Sales Tax. A lawsuit with Union Station Partners was settled in 2010 for $1.6million.See the following table, which is presented in thousands.6

Bi-State Development Agency of theMissouri-Illinois <strong>Metro</strong>politan DistrictManagement’s Discussion and AnalysisJune 30, 2011 and 2010Included in the FY 2009 ending balance of $1.22 billion are assets having a cost of $12.4million and a net book value of $0.3 million that were available for sale at June 30, 2009.There were no such assets available for sale as of June 30, 2010 and 2011.Major capital asset additions during the current fiscal year included the following:• St. Louis Downtown Airport Fire House of $5.4 million• St. Louis Downtown Airport Runway extension of $1.7 million• <strong>Metro</strong> Bus vehicles of $7.6 million• North Hanley Parking Lot and Bus Loop of $1.5 million• Remaining interest in Meridian Garage of $5.9 millionLease TransactionsMultiple events have occurred between 2009 and 2011 as it relates to leases. In FY2010,<strong>Metro</strong> early terminated its 1997 Facilities Lease\Leaseback and one tranche (F1) of its 2001Railcar Lease\Leaseback. These leases were in technical default due to credit downgradesof two insurance companies that provided payment guaranties in the transaction. <strong>Metro</strong> madea termination payment to the lease investor to close the transactions. At June 30, 2010,<strong>Metro</strong> reached a tentative agreement with the lease investor to cure the lease defaultpertaining to the remaining tranches (C1, C2) of the 2001 LRV Lease. The transactionclosed in February 2011, at which time <strong>Metro</strong> purchased the collateral, in the form of U.S.Treasury securities, in the agreed upon par amount of $8.7 million. The St. Clair County<strong>Transit</strong> District, which participated in the lease, paid for approximately 75% of the collateral.In November 2010 <strong>Metro</strong> made an offer to the 1995 LRV lease investor to early terminatethe transaction for the market value of securities in the Lease Investment Account(approximately $20 million), plus an additional payment of approximately $2 million, to bringthe total offer to $22 million. The investor accepted the offer and the transaction closed onNovember 30. <strong>Metro</strong>’s out of pocket termination expense, including the termination paymentand fees were approximately $2.2 million. <strong>Metro</strong> also recognized a loss on a previouslyreported market gain of the securities of $6.5 million. <strong>Metro</strong> no longer has any exposurerelated to lease transactions. Additional information on <strong>Metro</strong>’s leases can be found inFootnote 9 on page 35.Long-term DebtBetween FY2009 several events related to long-term debt have occurred. In October 2009,<strong>Metro</strong> terminated the swap by making a net termination payment of $9.9 million. InNovember 2009, <strong>Metro</strong> issued $97.2 million Series 2009 Mass <strong>Transit</strong> Sales TaxAppropriation Bonds to refund the $75 million Series 2002 A variable rate bonds, terminatetwo interest rate swaps, create a DSRF of $9.1 million and purchase a bond insurance policyand pay costs of issuance for the bonds. In October 2010, <strong>Metro</strong> refunded the $150 millionSeries 2005 Bonds through a $145.2 million plus (premium of $4.7 million) issue of Mass<strong>Transit</strong> Sales Tax Appropriation Bonds. Significant details of debt can be found in Footnote10 page 37.9


Bi-State Development Agency of theMissouri-Illinois <strong>Metro</strong>politan DistrictManagement’s Discussion and AnalysisJune 30, 2011 and 2010ECONOMIC FACTORSA number of economic factors have impacted <strong>Metro</strong> over the last two years. The impact ofthese economic factors is masked by the service reductions and service restorations, whichskew and complicate useful year to year comparisons.One of the key economic impacts in the last two years has been the fluctuating price ofdiesel. The price of fuel peaked over $4 per gallon early in FY 2009. Since that time, itdecreased to a more moderate range of over $2 per gallon during 2010 before returning toover $3 a gallon in 2011. This change has affected our fuel purchase price and our fuelhedge program. The decrease in the price per gallon has made driving a personal vehiclemore attractive than a mass transit alternative to the more elastic segment of our customerbase.The portion of our rider base depending on mass transit to commute to and from work hasbeen diminished by the metropolitan area’s increased unemployment. The number onereason people use mass transit in the greater St. Louis metropolitan area is to get to work.According to a <strong>Metro</strong> survey, approximately 49% of all bus riders and 58% of all <strong>Metro</strong>Linkriders utilize mass transit to get to and from work. In the fourth quarter of FY2011, amoderate increase in consumer spending was reflected in the upturn of sales tax receipts bynearly 3% from St. Louis County, and an increase of 1% in sales tax revenue from the City ofSt. Louis. This modest improvement has not returned <strong>Metro</strong> to levels consistent with pre-2009 sales tax collections.Current events at the federal level have created uncertainty in expected federal grant fundingfor FY2012. <strong>Metro</strong> has been advised that federal grant reductions may occur for next year.BUDGETAnalysis of economic factors and trends are essential to understanding the state of <strong>Metro</strong> andits budget. For fiscal year 2012, the Board of Commissioners approved an operating budgetincluding depreciation of $330.8 million and a three-year capital program totaling $481.2million.REQUESTS FOR INFORMATIONThis financial report is designed to provide an overview to all parties or individuals with aninterest in <strong>Metro</strong>’s finances.

Bi-State Development Agency of theMissouri-Illinois <strong>Metro</strong>politan DistrictNotes to <strong>Financial</strong> StatementsJune 30, 2011 and 20106 1. Significant Accounting PoliciesThe accompanying combined financial statements of the Bi-State Development Agencyof the Missouri-Illinois <strong>Metro</strong>politan District (“<strong>Metro</strong>”) are prepared in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable tostate and local governments as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting StandardsBoard (“GASB”). The following is a summary of the more significant policies.<strong>Financial</strong> <strong>Report</strong>ing EntityThe basic financial statements encompass all proprietary functions for which <strong>Metro</strong> isresponsible. These functions include: General Agency, Gateway Arch Tram System,Gateway Arch Parking Facility, Gateway Arch Riverfront Attractions, St. Louis DowntownAirport, and the <strong>Transit</strong> System.Additionally, <strong>Metro</strong> evaluated whether there were any potential component units whichshould be included in these financial statements based on the following criteria: financialaccountability, access to resources, responsibility for debts and deficits, and fiscalindependence. No potential component units were identified, nor is <strong>Metro</strong> a componentunit of any other entity or government. The City of St. Louis, Missouri, the Missouricounties of St. Louis, St. Charles and Jefferson, the Illinois counties of Madison, St. Clair,and Monroe and the States of Illinois and Missouri have limited decision-making authorityover <strong>Metro</strong> and have limited responsibility for <strong>Metro</strong>'s debts or deficits except as providedin the Memorandum of Agreement.Fund Accounting<strong>Metro</strong> maintains its accounting records on the basis of funds. A fund is a fiscal andaccounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. Cash and other financialresources, together with all related liabilities and residual equities balances and changestherein are segregated for the purpose of carrying on the specific activities or attainingcertain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions or limitations.The fund financial statements provide information about <strong>Metro</strong>’s funds, including fiduciaryfunds. Separate statements for each fund category – proprietary and fiduciary – arepresented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on the enterprise funds.All funds used in accounting for the financial operations of <strong>Metro</strong> are enterprise funds orfiduciary funds. For financial reporting purposes, <strong>Metro</strong> is considered a single enterprisefund in which all subsidiary enterprise funds are combined and interfund transactions areeliminated. <strong>Metro</strong> is required to adopt a balanced budget; however, it is not required toadopt legally enforceable budgets and does not adopt such budgets.17

The provisions of this Statement areeffective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 2011.GASB Statements Numbers 57 and 59 do impact <strong>Metro</strong>. Management has notdetermined the impact of the remaining statements on the combined financialstatements.Enterprise Funds<strong>Metro</strong>’s enterprise funds are used to account for operations that are financed andoperated in a manner similar to private business enterprises.The business purposes of the various enterprise funds of <strong>Metro</strong> are as follows:• General Agency Fund - performs certain developmental activities and acts as theadministrative head of <strong>Metro</strong>;• Gateway Arch Tram System Fund - operates and maintains the transportation systemwithin the Gateway Arch in accordance with a cooperative agreement with the UnitedStates Government as discussed in Note 13 (Operating Agreement);• Gateway Arch Parking Facility Fund - operates and maintains the parking garage atthe Jefferson National Expansion Memorial Park in acc ordance with a cooperativeagreement with the United States Government as discussed in Note 13;• Gateway Arch Riverfront Attractions – owns, operates and maintains both the TomSawyer and Becky Thatcher Riverboats docked along the Mississippi River just belowthe Gateway Arch;• St. Louis Downtown Airport Fund – owns, operates and maintains the St. LouisDowntown Airport and an adjacent business park located in Cahokia, Illinois; and• <strong>Transit</strong> System Fund – owns, operates and maintains the St. Louis metropolitan areamass transportation system which includes <strong>Metro</strong>Bus, <strong>Metro</strong>Link and <strong>Metro</strong> Call-A-Ride services.Fiduciary FundThe fiduciary funds are used to account for assets held by <strong>Metro</strong> as a trustee or as anagent for others and which assets cannot be used to support its own programs. <strong>Metro</strong>’strust fund is the Bi-State Development Agency Other Post Employment Benefits Trust.Basis of Accounting<strong>Metro</strong> follows the accrual basis of accounting and uses the economic resourcesmeasurement focus for all of its enterprise funds and fiduciary funds. Revenues arerecognized when earned and expenses are recognized at the time liabilities are incurred19


Bi-State Development Agency of theMissouri-Illinois <strong>Metro</strong>politan DistrictNotes to <strong>Financial</strong> StatementsJune 30, 2011 and 2010regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Under GASB Statement No. 20,Accounting and <strong>Financial</strong> <strong>Report</strong>ing for Proprietary Funds and Other GovernmentalEntities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, <strong>Metro</strong> applies all applicable GASBpronouncements and <strong>Financial</strong> Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statements andinterpretations issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless these pronouncementsconflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements. <strong>Metro</strong> has also elected to apply allFASB statements and interpretations issued after November 30, 1989 except for thosethat conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements.Estimates and AssumptionsThe preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States of America requires management to makeestimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities; thedisclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; andthe reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actualresults could differ from those estimates.Cash and Cash Equivalents<strong>Metro</strong> pools all cash for investment purposes when most beneficial. Each fund hasequity in the pooled amount. Investment earnings are allocated to each individual fundon the basis of their investment or equity in the pooled amount. <strong>Metro</strong> considers allhighly liquid investments readily convertible into cash with original maturities of threemonths or less to be cash equivalents. <strong>Metro</strong> carries all cash equivalents at cost, whichapproximates fair value.InvestmentsWhen beneficial, <strong>Metro</strong> pools funds for investment purposes. For pooled investments,investment earnings are allocated proportionately according to each fund’s equity in theinvestment. <strong>Metro</strong>’s investments consist of collateralized repurchase agreements; TripleA rated money market funds, collateralized certificates of deposit, and U.S. Treasury andU.S. Government Agency securities. Investments maturing in less than one year arecarried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments maturing in overone year are carried at fair value. <strong>Metro</strong> determines fair value to be the amount at whichfinancial instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willingparties, at quoted market prices.Materials and Supplies<strong>Metro</strong> transit inventories of materials and supplies are recorded at cost, using the movingweighted average method and are expensed when inventories are consumed inoperations. Business Enterprise inventory counts are completed midyear toaccommodate seasonality and maritime regulations. Purchases made between themidyear inventory count and fiscal yearend are expensed as incurred.20


Bi-State Development Agency of theMissouri-Illinois <strong>Metro</strong>politan DistrictNotes to <strong>Financial</strong> StatementsJune 30, 2011 and 2010Capital AssetsCapital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets, arerecorded at cost, when acquired or constructed. Capital assets are defined by <strong>Metro</strong> asassets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life of 3years or more. Improvements to existing plant and equipment, which extend the usefullives of the related assets, are capitalized. Donated capital assets are recorded at theirfair value at the time of donation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are chargedto expense as incurred. When capital assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, thecost of the assets and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from theaccounts and gains and losses on disposals are recorded. Prorated shares of theproceeds from the sale of property and equipment, which were acquired with federal orstate funds, are returned to the United States Department of Transportation – Federal<strong>Transit</strong> Administration or the related state Department of Transportation, respectively.Depreciation and AmortizationDepreciation of capital assets is calculated using the straight-line method over theestimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:YearsAirport runways and related facilities 15-25Buildings and improvements 15-25Gateway Arch tram facilities15-25Riverboats and barges15-20Light rail structures and improvements 12-30Autos and trucks5-10Buses, vans, light rail and other revenue vehicles 3-25Furniture, fixtures, computers and other equipment 3-10Self-insurance LiabilityLiabilities for workers' compensation, employee medical and dental insurance claims, andpublic liability and property damage claims are recognized as incurred on the basis of theestimated cost to <strong>Metro</strong> upon resolution.Workers’ compensation benefits are awarded as appropriately determined bygovernmental authority in each state in which <strong>Metro</strong> operates. Estimated liabilities forinjury and damage claims and medical and dental insurance claims are charged tooperations in the year the claim events occur; estimated liabilities for outstanding claimsare made by management.Self-insured liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred and theamount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities include an amount for claimsthat have been incurred, but not reported.21


Bi-State Development Agency of theMissouri-Illinois <strong>Metro</strong>politan DistrictNotes to <strong>Financial</strong> StatementsJune 30, 2011 and 2010Since self insured claims depend on such complex factors as inflation, changes in legaldoctrines, and damage awards, the process used in computing claims liability does notnecessarily result in an exact amount. Claims liabilities are evaluated on a case-by-casebasis and are re-evaluated periodically to take into consideration historical experience ofrecently settled claims, the frequency of claims, and other economic and social factors.Derivative <strong>Financial</strong> Instruments<strong>Metro</strong> also utilizes commodity hedging to reduce the volatility in fuel costs. Hedgingtechniques are traditionally used to limit exposure to price fluctuations. Managementrecognizes that fluctuations in fuel prices could have a negative impact on <strong>Metro</strong>’sfinancial affairs. Accordingly, <strong>Metro</strong> entered into futures contracts in order to hedge thisexposure.<strong>Metro</strong> adopted GASB Statement No. 53, Accounting and <strong>Financial</strong> <strong>Report</strong>ing forDerivative Instruments (GASB 53). GASB 53 requires the gain (loss) on the sale of fuelhedges to be recorded in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in NetAssets. The change in fair value of the derivative is recorded as a deferred inflow/outflowin other current assets/liabilities, as appropriate. The investment in derivative instrumentsis recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as part of current assets/liabilities and othernon-current assets/liabilities, as appropriate. The deferred outflow and investment as ofJune 30, 2011 are valued at $1.2 million. The deferred outflow and investment as ofJune 30, 2010 are valued at $0.2 million. See note 16 to the financial statements.Operating Revenues and ExpensesOperating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services in connectionwith <strong>Metro</strong>’s ongoing operations. Revenues are recorded as income in a mannerconsistent with the timing of the provided service. The principal operating revenues ofthe various funds of <strong>Metro</strong> are as follows:• General Agency Fund – interfund charges for management services;• Gateway Arch Tram System Fund – charges to tourists for admissions to attractionsat the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial and rentals;• Gateway Arch Parking Facility Fund – charges to customers for parking fees;• Gateway Arch Riverfront Attractions Fund – charges to tourists for riverboatexcursions along the Mississippi and memorabilia sales;• St. Louis Downtown Airport Fund – charges to customers for aviation and runwayservices provided, including hangar rentals and fuel;• <strong>Transit</strong> System Fund – fares charged to passengers for public transportation,advertising, and rentals.22


Bi-State Development Agency of theMissouri-Illinois <strong>Metro</strong>politan DistrictNotes to <strong>Financial</strong> StatementsJune 30, 2011 and 2010Operating expenses include the cost of services, administrative expenses anddepreciation expenses on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting thisdefinition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.Capital Grants and AssistanceAll capital grants and assistance are recorded in the accounting period in which theybecome earned and measurable. Unrestricted, irrevocable operating assistance grantsare recorded as non-operating income. Capital grants and assistance that are restrictedto use for payments of debt service or acquisitions of capital assets are recorded ascapital contributions in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in NetAssets.ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s financial statements toconform to the current year presentation.2.Cash, Cash Equivalents and InvestmentsCash, cash equivalents and investments of <strong>Metro</strong> are presented on the combinedstatements of net assets as restricted cash and cash equivalents and restrictedinvestments, as discussed in Note 3 (Restricted Assets, page 26), and as unrestrictedcash and cash equivalents and investments.

Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a financialinstitution failure, <strong>Metro</strong>’s deposits may not be returned. <strong>Metro</strong>’s banking and investmentpolicy authorizes the use of demand deposit and interest bearing bank accounts, andcertificates of deposit. The policy specifies that bank deposits exceeding FDIC insurancecoverage be collateralized with U.S. government or agency securities, or be guaranteedby a surety carrying the highest rating of a nationally recognized credit ratingorganization.

Bi-State Development Agency of theMissouri-Illinois <strong>Metro</strong>politan DistrictNotes to <strong>Financial</strong> StatementsJune 30, 2011 and 2010dangerous conditions of <strong>Metro</strong> property. For the calendar year 2011, <strong>Metro</strong>’s liability forthese claims is limited to $381,759 any one person in a single accident or occurrenceand $2,545,062 for all claims arising out of a single accident or occurrence.<strong>Metro</strong> purchases primary insurance for first party property or business interruption losssubject to a $100,000 per occurrence deductible for direct damage and a $250,000 peroccurrence deductible for transit vehicle collision, upset or derailment.<strong>Annual</strong>ly, <strong>Metro</strong> purchases Excess Liability insurance with an annual aggregate limit of$65 million for claims whose value exceeds the maximum of $5 million per occurrencecovered by the self-insured retention. In fiscal year 2011, <strong>Metro</strong> added $65 millionexcess coverage in aggregate limits in the Excess Liability insurance program for Errorsand Omissions Liability, Employment Practices Liability and Employee Benefit Liability.Claim settlements/judgments have not penetrated into the attachment point of ExcessLiability or Excess Workers Compensation insurance during any of the past five fiscalyears.Loss occurrences are reported to the excess insurance carriers when it is determinedthat a loss is likely to exceed fifty (50) percent of the Self Insured Retention or if a bodilyinjury is categorized as severe (fatality, multiple persons injured in one occurrence, brainor spinal injury, major amputation). When a third party liability or workers compensationclaim is either made against <strong>Metro</strong> or when there is sufficient reason to believe that<strong>Metro</strong> may be liable for the loss, a dollar amount is reserved for that claim (i.e. a casereserve is established). Case values are adjusted as the claims develop. Total casereserves are evaluated by an independent actuary who develops the total liability to beincluded in the financial statements.Changes in the balances of self-insured claims liabilities at June 30, 2011 and 2010 areas follows:Injury, Damage and Workers' Employee Medical Total Self-InsuredPersonal Liabilities Compensation and Dental Liabilities2011 2010 2011 2010 2011 2010 2011 2010Balance:At beginningof fiscal year $ 6,239,726 $ 7,497,059 $ 5,389,807 $ 5,011,239 $ 3,464,000 $ 3,163,613 $ 15,093,533 $ 15,671,911Add:Current year claimsand changesin estimate 4,719,913 1,400,543 4,584,241 3,978,455 23,634,284 23,913,543 32,938,438 29,292,541Less:Claim payments (3,158,921) (2,657,876) (4,091,900) (3,599,887) (23,606,175) (23,613,156) (30,856,996) (29,870,919)Balance:At endof fiscal year $ 7,800,718 $ 6,239,726 $ 5,882,148 $ 5,389,807 $ 3,492,109 $ 3,464,000 $ 17,174,975 $ 15,093,533In the opinion of <strong>Metro</strong>’s management, the estimated liabilities for all unsettled injuryclaims, workers' compensation benefits, and employee medical and dental insurance30


Bi-State Development Agency of theMissouri-Illinois <strong>Metro</strong>politan DistrictNotes to <strong>Financial</strong> StatementsJune 30, 2011 and 2010claims at June 30, 2011 and 2010 are adequate to satisfy all claims for events that haveoccurred through those respective dates. At June 30, 2011 and 2010, <strong>Metro</strong> held$16,537,890 and $14,809,357 respectively, in cash, cash equivalents, and investmentsdesignated for payment of these claims.The lag payout of medical and dental claims average approximately eight weeks;therefore, all of the June 30, 2011 and 2010 balance of $3.5 million for medical anddental liability is expected to be paid the following year. At June 30, 2011 and 2010,management estimates approximately $8.1 million and $6.5 million, respectively, of theworkers’ compensation and casualty liabilities are payable within one year. Of the $8.1million payable at June 30, 2011, $5.6 million relates to casualty and $2.5 million relatesto workers’ compensation. Of the $6.5 million payable at June 30, 2010, $4.5 millionrelates to casualty and $2.0 million relates to workers’ compensation.There was a recovery for business interruption (BI) insurance in June 2010 for $815,769.This amount represents incurred costs and lost profits related to a cable brake at the St.Louis Gateway Arch tram. The broken cable required the tram in the southern leg to beinoperative from July 22, 2007 through December 31, 2007. The entire amount of the BIrecovery is included in other non-operating revenues.<strong>Metro</strong> is also the defendant in several lawsuits arising from matters other than workerscompensation and personal injury litigation. These matters principally relate to,environmental cleanup, breach of contract, and alleged violations of equal protection andcredit protection requirements. In the opinion of management, including its GeneralCounsel, the ultimate resolution of these matters is not likely to have a material effect ofthe <strong>Metro</strong>’s financial position.7.Compensated AbsencesSubstantially all employees receive compensation for vacations, holidays, illness, andcertain other qualifying absences. The number of days compensated in the variouscategories of absence is based generally on length of service. Compensated absences,which have been earned but not paid, have been accrued in the accompanying financialstatements.8.Revenue RecognitionPassenger FaresPassenger fares are recorded as revenue at the time services are purchased andrevenue passes through the farebox. Sales of monthly passes, ten two-hour passes, 30-day passes and other tickets types are also recorded as revenue at the time ofpurchase.Sales of University passes, Universal passes and Student Tickets, which are valid for aspecific academic semester, are recorded initially as deferred revenue. Sales arerecognized as income at the end of each month, with the amount recognized in each31


Bi-State Development Agency of theMissouri-Illinois <strong>Metro</strong>politan DistrictNotes to <strong>Financial</strong> StatementsJune 30, 2011 and 2010month determined by prorating the total contract amount over the number of months ofthe contract.Sales TaxesState and local sales taxes are imposed on the purchase price of tangible personalproperty and taxable services sold. These taxes are forwarded to the State of MissouriDepartment of Revenue either monthly or quarterly depending on the sales volume ofthe vendor. The Missouri Department of Revenue distributes the local sales taxcollected back to the applicable city and county. The regional subsidy to <strong>Metro</strong> isgenerated from a portion of the local City of St. Louis and St. Louis County sales taxescollected. These funding jurisdictions distribute the sales tax subsidy that has beenobligated via the annual budget and appropriation process to <strong>Metro</strong> or the Bond Trustee,as applicable.9.Finance Obligations Under LeaseOn October 1, 1995, <strong>Metro</strong> entered into a transaction to lease thirty (30) Series 1000light rail vehicles (LRVs) to investors (the “headlease”) and simultaneously sublease theLRVs back (the “sublease”). <strong>Metro</strong> entered into similar transactions on August 26, 1997,leasing four of its Missouri facilities (DeBaliviere Facility, Brentwood Facility, Main RepairFacility and <strong>Metro</strong>Link Yards and Shops). Additionally, <strong>Metro</strong> entered into similartransactions on August 30, 2001, and November 29, 2001, leasing thirty-four of its Series2000 and Series 3000 LRVs.1995 Lease/Leaseback of 30 LRVsAt closing, the Series 1000 LRVs had a fair market value of approximately $63.0 million.As part of the LRV headlease, <strong>Metro</strong> received a prepayment equivalent to the net presentvalue of the headlease totaling approximately $63.0 million. With the prepayment, <strong>Metro</strong>purchased investments sufficient to make the payments under the sublease.Approximately $52.7 million was deposited in a Guaranteed Investment Contract (GIC),with American International Group (AIG), a large AAA rated insurance company.According to the terms of the GIC, AIG committed to pay the debt portion of the subleaseobligations and repurchase options. In addition, $6.8 million was invested in obligationsof the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC), a U.S. Government Agency. Theseobligations were STRIP (zero coupon) securities, in the par amount of $22,932,000,which at maturity (2017), was sufficient to pay the remaining equity portion of thesublease obligation and exercise the repurchase option.Terms of the lease stipulated that the GIC provider maintain a credit rating of at leastBBB. In 2008, AIG was downgraded from AAA. This caused a liquidity crisis for thecompany, since it required that AIG post collateral for its obligations. To avert the failureof the company, in September 2008, the Federal Reserve provided an $85 billion creditfacility to the AIG, in exchange for 80% ownership of the company.32


Bi-State Development Agency of theMissouri-Illinois <strong>Metro</strong>politan DistrictNotes to <strong>Financial</strong> StatementsJune 30, 2011 and 2010Concerns regarding the exposure to AIG were such that the <strong>Metro</strong> Board authorized thatthe lease be terminated, provided that the cost was reasonable. In November 2010,<strong>Metro</strong> made an offer to the lease investor to terminate the lease for the market value ofRTC Strip securities in the Investment Account, (approximately $20 million) plus anadditional payment of approximately $2 million, to bring the total offer to $22 million. Theoffer was accepted, and the transaction closed on November 30, 2010. <strong>Metro</strong> alsorecognized a loss of approximately $6.5 million on a previously reported market gain ofthe RTC securities.1997 Lease/Leaseback of <strong>Transit</strong> FacilitiesIn 1997, <strong>Metro</strong> prime leased its Brentwood and DeBaliviere Bus Facilities, Main RepairShop, and <strong>Metro</strong>Link Light Rail Facility to Bi-State SPVI Trust. Bi-State SPVI Trustleased the Facilities to State Street Bank and Trust. State Street subleased the Facilitiesto Bi-State SPVII Trust. Bi-State SPVII Trust subleased the Facilities to <strong>Metro</strong>. Thefacilities were leased for various periods, the last repurchase option occurring in 2018.The four facilities had a fair market value of approximately $92.3 million. As part of thehead lease, <strong>Metro</strong> received prepayments equivalent to the net present value of the headlease obligations which totaled approximately $68.4 million. Approximately $57.6 millionwas deposited with AMBAC Asset Funding to pay the debt portion of the subleaseobligation and exercise the lease repurchase option. In addition, $7.2 million wasinvested in a Guaranteed Investment Contract (GIC) with AMBAC Capital to satisfy theremaining equity portion of the sublease obligation. <strong>Metro</strong> received approximately $3million as net proceeds from the transaction. The lease was fully defeased at closing, inthat all future lease payments were guaranteed by future income from lease investmentagreements. AMBAC Assurance Company guaranteed the payments of AMBAC Assetand AMBAC Capital, and also provided a surety policy for the transaction. Provisions ofthe lease agreement provided that if AMBAC’s credit rating was downgraded, that thepayment agreements be collateralized and the surety policy be replaced. AMBAC wasdowngraded initially in November 2008 and then received further downgrades in 2010,eventually receiving a Caa2 (“extremely speculative”) rating from Moody’s in July 2010.Upon initial downgrade in November 2008, AMBAC Assurance Corporation transferredcollateral to the Collateral Agent with respect to the GIC.In October 2009, AMBAC initiated discussion with <strong>Metro</strong> on early termination of the 1997Lease. Subsequently, <strong>Metro</strong> entered into termination negotiations with the leaseinvestor, who was also the investor in the F1 Tranche of the 2001 LRV Lease (seebelow). The investor offered to terminate the lease at a substantial discount from theaccreted value of their future revenue from the lease, provided that <strong>Metro</strong> also terminatethe F1 Tranche of the 2001 Lease. <strong>Metro</strong> accepted these terms. The transaction closedon December 15, 2009. AMBAC made a termination payment to <strong>Metro</strong> for the GICreflecting the current value of the investment contract. <strong>Metro</strong> also received proceeds fromthe securities in the F1 payment obligation account (see below). With these funds, plusan additional amount, the required termination payment was made to the investor forboth transactions. Due to the investor being involved in similar negotiations with othertransit agencies, the termination agreement provides that <strong>Metro</strong> not disclose the specificamount of this payment. Management believes the amount of the payment was33

The charge wasrecorded as interest expense in the financial statements for the prior year.2001 Lease/Leaseback of 34 LRVsWith respect to the Series 2001 Lease/Leaseback of 34 LRVs, <strong>Metro</strong> entered into threetranches: F1 and C1 dated August 30, 2001 and then C2 dated November 30, 2001.The F1, C1 and C2 tranches involved transactions for seven (7), twenty-three (23) andfour (4) LRVs, respectively. With respect to the F1 and C1 tranches dated August 30,2001, the thirty LRVs at closing had a fair market value of $120.0 million. <strong>Metro</strong> receiveda prepayment equivalent to the net present value of the headlease obligations totalingapproximately $120.0 million. Approximately $93.6 million was deposited with PremierInternational Funding, to partially meet <strong>Metro</strong>’s rent obligations under the sublease and toset aside funds to enable <strong>Metro</strong> to exercise its repurchase option. <strong>Financial</strong> SecurityAssurance Company, Inc. (FSA, now Assured Guaranty), rated Aa3 by Moody’s, andAA+ by Standards and Poor’s, guarantees, through a surety policy, the payments underthe agreement with Premier International Funding. Approximately $16.5 million wasdeposited with AIG (Equity Payment Undertaker) to meet <strong>Metro</strong>’s remaining paymentobligations under the F1 and C1 subleases and to set aside funds to enable <strong>Metro</strong> toexercise its repurchase options. The AIG downgrade referenced above triggered aprovision within the Participation Agreement requiring <strong>Metro</strong> to replace the paymentundertaker or substitute acceptable lease collateral. Additionally, a downgrade of FSA inNovember 2008 triggered a lease provision requiring <strong>Metro</strong> to replace the surety policy.With respect to the F1 payment obligation, On June 10, 2009, <strong>Metro</strong> terminated theagreement with AIG and deposited securities sufficient, at maturity, to meet <strong>Metro</strong>’sobligations under the sublease. As noted above, upon early termination of the F1Tranche of the 2001 Lease, in December 2009, the securities were sold and theproceeds used as part of the required termination payment. The St. Clair County <strong>Transit</strong>District (SCCTD, one of <strong>Metro</strong>’s funding partners), which participated in the lease,contributed approximately 70% of the termination payment of the F1 Tranche.With respect to the C2 Tranche, the four light rail vehicles at closing had a fair marketvalue of $16.0 million. <strong>Metro</strong> received a prepayment equivalent to the net present valueof the headlease obligations totaling approximately $16.0 million. Approximately $12.9million was deposited with Premier International Funding to partially meet <strong>Metro</strong>’s rentobligations under the sublease and to set aside funds to enable <strong>Metro</strong> to exercise itsrepurchase option, if <strong>Metro</strong> chooses to do so. FSA provides a surety policy, to guaranteethe payments under the agreement with Premier International Funding. Approximately$ 1.8 million was deposited with AIG-Matched Funding Corporation (“Equity PaymentUndertaker”) to meet <strong>Metro</strong>’s remaining rent obligations under the sublease and to setaside funds to enable <strong>Metro</strong> to exercise its purchase option.Due to the credit rating downgrades of AIG and FSA, <strong>Metro</strong> was placed in technicaldefault with regard to the C1 and C2 Tranches. However, the lease investor agreed towaive enforcement of default remedies while cure negotiations took place.34


Bi-State Development Agency of theMissouri-Illinois <strong>Metro</strong>politan DistrictNotes to <strong>Financial</strong> StatementsJune 30, 2011 and 2010At June 30, 2010, <strong>Metro</strong> had reached a tentative agreement with lease investor to curethe lease default pertaining to the C1 and C2. The agreement called for <strong>Metro</strong> to pledgeadditional collateral to the investor, equal to a percentage of the investors’ future revenuefrom the transaction. Due to complexities involved in negotiating specific terms of theagreement, the transaction did not close until February 2011, at which time <strong>Metro</strong>purchased collateral, in the form of U.S. Treasury securities, in the agreed upon paramount of $8.7 million. The collateral amount will be returned in entirety to <strong>Metro</strong> (andthe SCCTD) at the end of the lease. Additionally, the collateral will be marked to marketannually, and any portion of the collateral amount exceeding the specified amount will bereturned to <strong>Metro</strong>. Conversely, if the market value of the collateral falls below thespecified amount, <strong>Metro</strong> will be required to deposit additional collateral. It is expectedthat as the investors’ future revenue amount declines as the lease termination dateapproaches, the collateral amount will be reduced. The collateral will also be returned ifAIG and FSA re-establish the required credit rating. The SCCTD, paid for approximately70% of the collateral, of which approximately $6.1 million was unpaid at June 30, 2011.Under the various lease transactions still outstanding, <strong>Metro</strong> maintains the right tocontinued use and control of the assets through the end of the leases and is required toinsure and maintain the assets.All of the leases discussed above have been recorded as capital leases for accountingpurposes.

Bi-State Development Agency of theMissouri-Illinois <strong>Metro</strong>politan DistrictNotes to <strong>Financial</strong> StatementsJune 30, 2011 and 2010Funding PolicyNormal annual costs of the plan are funded by employer and retiree contributions that arepay-as-you-go financing requirements. <strong>Metro</strong> established a trust for future other postemploymentbenefits (OPEB) funding above the pay-as-you-go methodology. For fiscalyears 2011 and 2010, <strong>Metro</strong> expenses under the pay-as-you-go methodology were $7.0million and $6.8 million, respectively. <strong>Metro</strong>’s actual contributions under the pay-as-yougomethodology have been favorable as compared to the actuarial estimate for the pasttwo years.The contribution requirements of plan members and <strong>Metro</strong> are established and may beamended by the Board of Commissioners. The required contribution is based uponprojected pay-as-you-go financing requirements, with an additional amount to prefundbenefits as determined annually by <strong>Metro</strong>. For the fiscal year 2011, <strong>Metro</strong> contributed$10.0 million to the plan, including $7.0 for current annual costs and an additional $3.0million to prefund benefits. For the fiscal year 2010, <strong>Metro</strong> contributed $9.9 million to theplan, including $6.8 for current annual costs and an additional $3.1 million to prefundbenefits.<strong>Annual</strong> OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation.<strong>Metro</strong>’s annual OPEB cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual requiredcontribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance withthe parameters of GASB No. 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid onan ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize anyunfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years.The following table shows the actuarial assessment of <strong>Metro</strong>’s annual OPEB cost for theyear and the changes in <strong>Metro</strong>’s net OPEB obligation.

The actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $191.2 million and the actuarialvalue of assets was $3.1 million, resulting in an unfunded actuarial accrued liability(UAAL) of $180.2 million. Covered payroll amounted to $83.7 million and the unfundedactuarial accrued liability as a percent of covered payroll is 215.3%.The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information(RSI) following the notes to the financial statements, presents multiyear trend informationabout whether the actuarial value of plan assets are increasing or decreasing over timerelative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits.Actuarial Methods and AssumptionsActuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reportedamounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into thefuture. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and thehealthcare cost trends. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan andthe annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision.Actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made aboutthe future.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 ofbenefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing ofbenefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point.In the July 1, 2009, actuarial valuation, the projected unit credit cost method was used.The actuarial assumptions include a 5.0% discount rate of return (net of administrativeexpenses), and an annual healthcare cost trend rate of 8.10% in 2009 and grading downto 4.7% in the year 2085 and each year thereafter. The UAAL is being amortized as alevel dollar amount over 30 years. The remaining amortization period at July 1, 2010,was 27 years.52

Grants and AssistanceFederal Aviation Administration Capital Improvement GrantsCapital improvement projects for airport engineering and construction costs at the St.Louis Downtown Airport are funded by capital improvement grants from the FederalAviation Administration and the Illinois Department of Aeronautics. The St. LouisDowntown Airport provides additional funds from operational revenues.Capital and Operating Assistance Grants<strong>Metro</strong> receives federal and state capital assistance grants for undertaking of urban masstransportation capital improvement projects. Additionally, beginning in fiscal year 1999, aportion of the capital assistance grants may be used for fleet maintenance. The terms ofthe capital assistance grants require that a portion of the project costs be funded locally.The local share of the capital assistance grants has been funded by grants from the Stateof Illinois and by application of local Missouri sales tax appropriations. <strong>Metro</strong> receivesthe following type of assistance grants.Federal <strong>Transit</strong> Administration -- <strong>Metro</strong> is the recipient of several Federal <strong>Transit</strong>Administration Assistance Grants awarded by the United States Department ofTransportation under the Federal <strong>Transit</strong> Act of 1964, as amended.State of Missouri -- In 1996 the Governor of the State of Missouri approvedtemporary transit operating assistance grant funding through the MissouriDepartment of Transportation. <strong>Metro</strong> began receiving this assistance in July 1996.The grant was renewed for fiscal year 2011. There was an additional $8.0 millionawarded from the state of Missouri in 2010 due to service reductions.Illinois Department of Transportation Grants -- The Illinois Department ofTransportation is authorized under provisions of Illinois Revised Statutes, Chapter127, Section 49 through 51 and Illinois Revised Statues, Chapter 127, Section 701(“Illinois Acts”) to provide capital assistance to <strong>Metro</strong>. <strong>Metro</strong> uses a portion of theIllinois capital assistance grants to meet local share requirements on certainfederal transit administration capital improvement projects.Sales Tax AppropriationsThe Missouri Legislature has authorized certain cities and counties to levy a 1/2 centsales tax to be used for transportation purposes. Missouri law does not require thatrevenues from the ½ cent sales tax be paid directly to <strong>Metro</strong>, but authorizes the collectingagencies to appropriate such revenues for transportation purposes. A minimum of twopercent of any appropriation for public mass transportation must be passed through tothe St. Louis Office of Mentally Retarded/Developmentally Disabled Resources (“CityBoard”) and Productive Living Board for the Developmentally Disabled (“County Board”).Sales tax receipts that are passed through to the City and County Boards are recorded53


Bi-State Development Agency of theMissouri-Illinois <strong>Metro</strong>politan DistrictNotes to <strong>Financial</strong> StatementsJune 30, 2011 and 2010as operating assistance, and the corresponding expense is recorded as a contribution tooutside entities in the statement of revenues and expenses of <strong>Metro</strong>.Additionally, a 1/4 cent sales tax Prop M was established. This tax is restricted to masstransit use and is forwarded to <strong>Metro</strong> based upon annual appropriations from the City ofSt. Louis and St. Louis County.St. Louis County voters passed Prop A ½ Cent Sales Tax in April 2010. Passage of thistax triggered collection of a ¼ Cent Prop M2 Sales Tax passed by the City of St. Louisvoters in 1997. <strong>Metro</strong> began receiving appropriated ½ cent from St. Louis County Prop Aand a ¼ cent from the City of St. Louis Prop M2. Both are restricted for mass transit use.The Agency has restricted a total of $13,758,415 and $13,836,415 in 2011 and 2010,respectively, of previously unrestricted sales tax operating assistance, which is recordedin the restricted Sales Tax Capital Account. These restricted funds will be used for thepurchase or construction of new transportation equipment or facilities.Temporary advances for operating purposes are allowed from the restricted Sales TaxCapital fund, to be repaid when Federal, state or local operating assistance is received.Advances allowed for environmental clean-up activities for non-operating properties areto be repaid from the proceeds from the sale of the non-operating assets.Illinois Counties<strong>Metro</strong> contracts with the St. Clair County <strong>Transit</strong> District to provide public masstransportation services for the Illinois Counties of St. Clair and Monroe. The contractspecifies the amount of services to be provided, and the method of reimbursement foroperating costs associated with the services provided in these counties.Operating Deficits<strong>Metro</strong> has experienced losses before depreciation and capital contributions since 2005.<strong>Metro</strong>’s ability to fund the costs of continued operations is dependent upon thecooperation and operating assistance from other governments. While resources exist tomeet <strong>Metro</strong>’s present obligations, revenues from operations alone are not adequate tomeet the expenses of continuing operations without such assistance.54

Operating AgreementsAccording to a cooperative agreement (“Agreement”) dated May 14, 1962, as amended,with the United States Government acting through the National Park Service, <strong>Metro</strong>agreed to construct and operate a transportation system (“Tram”) in the Gateway Arch.According to the Agreement, <strong>Metro</strong> will operate the Tram until January 1, 2013, and is toreceive a monthly management fee. The monthly management fee is based upon thecurrent month's estimate of operating results. The United States Government retainslegal title to the Tram. Upon termination of the Agreement, <strong>Metro</strong> is required to transfer tothe United States Government all remaining assets from the operations of the Tram afterdischarge of all liabilities.Through the Agreement, <strong>Metro</strong> constructed and operates a 1,200 space parking facilityon the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial site. The United States Governmentretains legal title to the Gateway Arch Parking Facility. <strong>Metro</strong> is required to establishparking rates, fees and charges to operate and maintain the parking garage and to paydebt service on the Arch Parking Facility Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1997. Upontermination of the Agreement, <strong>Metro</strong> is required to transfer to the United StatesGovernment all assets remaining from the operations of the parking facility after thedischarge of all liabilities.55


Bi-State Development Agency of theMissouri-Illinois <strong>Metro</strong>politan DistrictNotes to <strong>Financial</strong> StatementsJune 30, 2011 and 201015. Joint Venture AgreementOn June 12, 2007, <strong>Metro</strong> opened a 1,200 car parking facility (Meridian Garage) at theBrentwood I-64 <strong>Metro</strong>Link Station that had been constructed in conjunction with a privatedeveloper. The joint venture is organized under the Uniform Missouri Condominium Actof Missouri. Initially, <strong>Metro</strong>’s portion consisted of two-thirds of the non-retail portion of theparking facility.On December 16, 2010, <strong>Metro</strong> purchased the remaining one-third interest in the MeridianGarage for $5.85 million. <strong>Metro</strong> pays a management fee to a property manager tooversee the property and its day to day operations. <strong>Metro</strong> also pays for expenses relatedto the upkeep of the garage.16. Fuel Hedge<strong>Metro</strong> has adopted GASB 53 to account for their investment in oil future contracts tohedge against the volatility in diesel fuel prices. Because the fuel hedge is an effectivehedge as defined by GASB 53, the unrealized gain (loss) on the fuel hedge is reported onthe Statement of Net Assets as an investment and a deferred inflow/outflow. Thehedging instruments affected are weekly fuel hedge contracts with a notional amount of42,000 gallons each with an index of New York Harbor Heating Oil #2 as listed on theNYMEX. There were 71 and 114 open contracts at June 30, 2011 and 2010,respectively. On average, it costs <strong>Metro</strong> $32 to acquire a fuel hedge contract. Theaggregate fuel hedge contracts cover a rolling 18-month period.Basis risk. <strong>Metro</strong> is exposed to basis risk on its fuel hedge contracts because the futurefuel purchases are based on a pricing point different from the pricing point at which thefuture contracts are expected to settle (New York Harbor Heating Oil #2).There is no termination or interest rate risk.17. Commitments and ContingenciesExpenditures financed by State and Federal grants are subject to audit by the grantingagencies to verify compliance with conditions of the grants. Management believes that<strong>Metro</strong> is in compliance with the terms of such grants and that no significant liability willarise from audits previously performed or to be performed.In the ordinary course of business, a number of claims and lawsuits arise from individualsseeking compensation for personal injury, death, and/or property damage resulting fromaccidents occurring in the operation of the system. In addition, <strong>Metro</strong> has been namedas a defendant in a number of lawsuits relating to personnel and contractual matters.Management does not believe that the outcome of these claims will have a materialadverse effect on <strong>Metro</strong>’s financial position.

Employees from capital programs moved to the operating positions in transit service support and security. Overall, 87 moreoperating positions were required for the Cross County extension. Utilizing cost efficiencies in other areas, the Agency was able to absorb most of the additional positions for Cross County. In FY 2007and 2008, minimal position increases were needed to cover the operational needs of the Cross County extension. In the FY 2009 Board Approved Budget, an increase in service required additionalvehicle operators, security, and operational support. However, due to funding issues in March 2009, <strong>Metro</strong> experienced a major service reduction. Even though this did not go through a formal budgetamendment, <strong>Metro</strong> feels that the budgeted personnel for 2009 demonstrates an incorrect position count. To clarify <strong>Metro</strong>'s personnel for FY 2009, we are adding a weighted personnel count to representthe first nine months of 2009 as the budgeted amounts and the last three months of 2009 as the 2009 service reduction personnel amounts. The funding issue continued with the FY 2010 budget, but byAugust 2009, <strong>Metro</strong> received temporary funding that enabled a partial service restoration. With this one-time funding, <strong>Metro</strong> took an amended budget to the Board of Commissioners. FY 2011 reflects acomplete restoration of revenue service, phased in to allow time to hire and train new operators and other personnel for maintenance of the restored service.Source of data:Bi-State Development Agency, <strong>Financial</strong> Planning and Budgeting Department, July 201191
