WORK SESSION ITEM
City Council
SUBJECT FOR DISCUSSION
Status of the City Manager’s 2017-18 Recommended Budget and a High Level Performance Measures and
Results Review.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is two-fold. First, will be a review of the economic, revenue and expense assumptions
included in the 2017-18 City Manager's Recommended Budget; which will be delivered to City Council and
available to the public on September 2, 2016. This work session will also provide an overview of the major 2017-
18 budget themes and the Council budget meeting schedule during September through November.
Second, will be a review of the City’s Performance Measures and Results. This will be broken into 3 sections: (1)
an overview of City staff work implementing metrics, “Results Journey”; (2) a review of the Community Dashboard
metrics; and (3) a look at how staff proposes to support a biennial results review as part of the Strategic Plan
process focusing on Strategic Objectives.
GENERAL DIRECTION SOUGHT AND SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED
Staff will present an update on the Budget process and address any questions or issues that arise from the
conversation with City Council, as well as a review of our “Results Journey”.
1. What questions or concerns does City Council have about the budget assumptions which are being included
in the Recommended Budget?
2. What questions does City Council have regarding the proposed schedule for discussion of the Recommended
Budget?
3. What questions does City Council have about the City’s Results Journey and where we are headed with
reporting the City’s performance in achieving results?
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Budgeting for Outcomes (BFO) Process Status
The 2016 Budget process, called Budgeting for Outcomes (BFO), began with the completion of the City’s 2016
Strategic Plan in April. The Strategic Plan is scheduled for City Council adoption on August 16. The Strategic
Plan is the driver of the Offers included in the 2017-18 Recommended Budget and Offers needed to align with
one or more strategic objectives across Outcomes.
The City Manager’s Recommended Budget is in the process of being finalized and published. It will reflect a
balance of ongoing programs and services with enhancements that directly address Council priorities and the
strategic objectives in the City’s 2016 Strategic Plan. The City Manager’s 2017-18 Recommended Budget will be
delivered to City Council and be available to the public on September 2, 2016.

Budget Assumptions
The City of Fort Collins economy is performing better than many municipalities and the City organization is in a
good financial position with healthy fund balances. A conservative “modest” growth assumption for sales and use
tax is assumed given national economic uncertainties and concerns. Historically, the City has lagged national
recessions by a year. Staff reviewed assumptions with the Council Finance Committee (CFC) and has
established a $4.4M assignment within the General Fund that can be used to buffer an economic slowdown and
allow staff and Council time to make adjustments to the next year’s budget if revenue growth declines.
Development-related revenue continues to be strong, although anticipated to be flat with 2015 actual experience.
City staff monitors all revenue sources carefully and utilizes the most current information available to set 2017-18
projected revenues. Additionally, the Utilities Funds proposed rate changes will be discussed during the Council’s
budget review process.
The City Manager’s Recommended Budget is being developed on these key assumptions:
Focus on City Council and community priorities as reflected in the City’s 2016 Strategic Plan.
Maintain existing operations, programs and services while seeking ways to do so more efficiently.
Moderate Sales and Use tax revenue growth:
o General economic growth is assumed to average 2.3% in 2017-18
o Sales Tax is forecasted at 3% growth in each year. (note: there is a slight change from the
assumptions reviewed at CFC. Previously, growth of 3%/2% for 2017/2018 was assumed. This
has been modified to 3%/3% for 2017/2018)
o Total Use Tax forecast is $22M for each year based on continued modest economic growth,
building activity and business investment. Per discussions with CFC, $14.5M of use tax is used
to fund ongoing programs and services and anything above that is restricted to one-time
expenditures.
o An additional $1.4M of sales tax is anticipated in 2017 based on recent agreements.
Utility rate increases are driven by the following:
o Platte River Power Authority pass-through of energy costs
o The need for repair and maintenance of existing capital infrastructure
o New capital needs that align with adopted Utility master plans
A salary pool for future wage adjustments is based on 2.5% of wages each year.
Medical and dental cost inflation is forecasted at 12.5% and 4.4% in 2017 and 2018, respectively. This
continues to reflect the financial impact from national health care reform (the Affordable Care Act).
To reduce the traditional year-end underspend and make that money available throughout the year,
salary and benefits will be budgeted at 98% of total estimated costs.
There are a number of significant cost increases over 2016 which will be discussed during the work
session.
The City Manager’s Recommended Budget is built around several key themes:
Supporting public safety and increased police staffing
Investing in neighborhood livability and code compliance
Maintaining commitments to the voters with Keep Fort Collins Great (KFCG) funds
Being good stewards of City assets by investing in capital and infrastructure
Implementing select initiatives to make progress on Climate Action Plan (CAP) goals
Updating significant community plans, including City Plan, the Transportation Master Plan and the Transit
Master Plan
Supporting community priorities
Implementing system improvements and continuing to foster transparency

Results Review
Staff will outline progress in the utilization of metrics across the City, how they are reviewed on a quarterly basis
and how future reviews using what staff is calling “Strategy Maps” will occur starting in 2017. A detailed
discussion of performance of Community Dashboard metrics and a sample of the type of information staff
anticipates using in future performance reviews will be provided.
Included as Attachment 1 is an example of how staff is working to link BFO Offers and Metrics to Strategic
Objectives within a Strategy Map as described in the presentation. This document is a work in process, but
illustrates how staff is working to improve the ongoing performance discussions that occur on a quarterly basis.
Staff is working to refine and develop more meaningful metrics associated with each Strategic Objective by the
end of 2016 and use this document in Quarterly Service Area Reviews beginning in Q1 of 2017 to facilitate
discussions around the linkage and interdependence. Staff anticipates the Strategy Maps as the basis for future
reviews with Council using the format examples within Attachment 3 on pages 28–31.

Home Water Reports
149 162 75% Utilities began a pilot program in late 2014 to deliver Home
Water Reports to 10,000 single-family residential customers,
alternating months with delivery of the Home Energy Reports.
The reports provide households with information on their current
water use and compare it to their past use, the average of
similar households and the use of the most efficient households.
Distribution of the reports was expanded to include a total of
15,000 customers in October 2015 and will include 20,000 in
late 2016. To date, these customers reduced their use by an
average of 2.3%. This has resulted in 89.8 acre-feet of savings
to date, which is just over 29 million gallons of water and is the
same as if over 350 single-family homes did not use water for an
entire year. The program is designed with a randomized control
group which ensure that the savings estimates are statistically
significant. This program costs about $0.007 (less than a penny)
per gallon saved, which is about $2400 per acre-foot. The added
benefit is that we can use the Home Water Reports to promote
other programs and opportunities to thousands of customers.
Staff hopes to track how many customers who receive reports
then participate in other programs.
