EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to present the Annual Appropriation and Budget Ordinance for First Reading. This
Ordinance sets the City Budget for the one-year period (2022) which becomes the City’s financial plan for the
next fiscal year. This Ordinance sets the amount of $702,408,235 to be appropriated for fiscal year 2022.
However, this appropriated amount does not include what is being budgeted and appropriated by separate
Council/Board of Director actions to adopt the 2022 budget for the General Improvement District (GID) No. 1 of
$382,502, the 2022 budget for GID No. 15 (Skyview) of $1,000, the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) 2022
budgets of $6,163,502 and the Downtown Development Authority 2021 budget of $25,431,519. This results in
City-related total operating appropriations of $734,386,758 in 2022. This Ordinance also sets the 2021 City
property tax mill levy at 9.797 mills, unchanged since 1991.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The 2021 budget process would typically have been a ‘revision year’, which is where the second year of the
City’s two-year, or biennial, budget would be revised. However, the City’s budgeting process was significantly
impacted by the global pandemic. It was determined that modifications would need to be made to the processes
for both 2020 and 2021, due to the significant unknowns about impacts to our community. In response, in 2020
City Council approved Ordinance No. 067 to suspend the biennial budget required by the City Code to allow the
adoption of a one-year budget and temporarily revise the City’s budgeting process.
For 2022, the primary impact of these modifications is that Council will again adopt a one-year budget instead
of the traditional two-year (biennial) budget. Thereafter, the City will return to a two-year budget. Unlike in the
modified process last year, the Budgeting for Outcomes (BFO) Teams of City staff members were successfully
invoked this year, which added significant value to the process and the decisions made by the executive team.
Also, public engagement for the 2022 Recommended Budget resumed earlier in the summer, as it normally did
prior to the pandemic. Initial feedback received in May and June helped inform the decisions for the
recommended budget, and the remaining inputs through September were shared with Council.
Key components of our budgeting process continued this cycle, including budget requests based on the
programs and services provided to the community, a key aspect of the BFO process. These budget requests

Item # 16 Page 2
specify direct linkage to at least one strategic objective in the City’s adopted 2020 Strategic Plan, as well as
performance measures directly related to the proposed program or service.
Another important modification this year was to also focus on the newly elected Council’s adopted priorities,
which may not have been reflected in the adopted 2020 Strategic Plan. These priorities were included in the
executive conversations and a number of offers to support them were created and included in the budget.
Council reviewed the Interim City Manager’s recommended budget (Recommended Budget) for 2022 during
three Council work sessions. In addition, residents have been able to provide input to Councilmembers through
two public hearings. From these discussions and additional information provided by staff, Council has provided
direction and guidance for the following changes to the Recommended Budget that have been incorporated into
First Reading of this Ordinance making the City’s annual appropriation for 2022 and adopting the City’s budget
for 2022 (2022 Annual Appropriation and Budget).
Changes to Offers originally included in the Recommended Budget
Additionally, based on the Council dialogue on the use of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding, the
following offers are now proposed for funding from General Fund Ongoing Revenue and Reserves, rather

CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
This Ordinance sets the annual appropriation for fiscal year 2022 in the amount of $702,408,235. The Ordinance
also sets the City property tax mill levy at 9.797 mills, unchanged since 1991.
BOARD AND COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS
Various City boards and commissions submitted memos to Council for its consideration of what they believed
should be included in the 2022 Annual Appropriation and Budget.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Public outreach for the 2022 Annual Appropriation and Budget began in May, as it did prior to the pandemic.
Due to existing unknowns and concerns most engagement was either online or virtual. The City continued to
leverage the OurCity platform as an interactive means for the community to provide their thoughts; whether they
had just a few minutes to spend or a longer period of time to get into the details. The Recommended Budget
was released on September 1, including the publication of the Recommended Budget in Brief. This document
is intended to help the budget be more accessible and understandable to the community. As such, it is printed
in both Spanish and English, and is available either in printed form for public consumption or online. Following
the release of the Recommended Budget, the City conducted a series of virtual public forums to discuss the
offers recommended for funding in each outcome and to answer questions.
