TITLE: Fiscal Year 2024 -25 Budget Study Session - Preliminary Workplans, Operating Budget, and Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
That the City Council receive an update and provide feedback on preliminary Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Workplans, the FY 2025 Operating Budget, and the 2025 - 2029 Five- Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
BACKGROUND
The budget process for Fiscal Year (FY) 202 5 emphasizes a Priority-Based Budgeting approach to link City resources with the strategic priorities of the City Council and community , while also seeking to maintain fiscal prudence . This process started at the February 28 Special Meeting , in which the City Council set the organizations’ FY 2025 priorities shown as Attachment A.
Since the February 28 meeting, senior staff has worked collaboratively to identify, develop, and propose Workplans and programs that best align to City priorities while also again maintaining fiscal prudence . Th is alignment is illustrated in the attached color-coded Preliminary FY 2025 Workplans , One-Time Request Detail, and Recurring Request Detail . Additional considerations to help prioritize programs and services include level of mandate, demand, cost recovery , and reliance on the organization to provide a particular service. The goal of this Priority-based Budgeting approach is to address community needs in the most cost effective and efficient way possible while also providing a clear understanding of how resources are being utilized in a language accessible to the City Council, staff, and public.
The current meeting of May 7 is the next step in this priority-based process and is a Budget Study Session to receive Council input and direction regarding the following items linked to the priorities previously set by Council:
• Preliminary FY 2025 Workplans
• Preliminary FY 2025 General Fund Operating Budget
• Preliminary 2025 – 2029 CIP
Council input and direction reaching majority consensus during the May 7 meeting will be used by staff in the further development of the FY 2025 Operating Budget and 2025 Item:

–2029 CIP. Both documents will be presented for Council consideration at the following meetings:
• June 4, 2024 (Regular Meeting) - Introduction of FY 202 5 Operating Budget, 2025 – 2029 CIP, and Gann Limit
• June 18, 202 4 (Public Hearing) - Adoption of Proposed FY 202 5 Operating Budget, 2025 – 2029 CIP, and Gann Limit
DISCUSSION
Preliminary FY 2025 Workplans
Using Council adopted priorities as the starting point, staff prepared FY 202 5 Preliminary Workplans, which are reflected in Attachment B and color-coded to show linkage to Council priorities. While ensuring proper alignment to Council recommended priorities was staff’s primary objective, staff also prepared other proposed Workplan items necessary to maintain existing operations and support planned CIP projects. As a general theme though, senior staff was very cognizant of the fact that the City faces a number of fiscal challenges, which will be discussed in later sections of this report, and thus tried to focus its ongoing efforts on completing current unfinished Workplans utilizing existing staff and resources rather than taking on new Workplans initiatives that would grow City costs unless they were absolutely necessary or could be supported by outside funding.
Thus, staff requests Council input and direction on Preliminary FY 202 5 Workplans and will incorporate this into the ongoing development of the FY 202 5 Operating Budget and 2025 – 2029 CIP. During the May 7 Budget Study Session, staff will present and highlight significant workplan items, any challenges that may exist with the items, and any additional resources that may be needed to successfully complete them. Wherever possible, staff will again attempt to achieve workplan items with existing staff and resources, but additional resources may be necessary in instances where challenges exist or a high-priority item needs to be accelerated.
Preliminary FY 2025 General Fund Operating Budget
Enclosed as Attachment C is the Preliminary FY 202 5 Operating Budget for the General Fund, which shows FY 202 3 Actuals, FY 202 4 Adopted, FY 202 4 Projected, and FY 202 5 Proposed Revenues and Expenditures. While FY 2024 Projected numbers are shown as fully balanced , this is only due to $2.89 million of corrective actions taken at mid -year to offset revenue shortfalls totaling $2.32 million and necessary expenditure increases totaling $570,000. Absent these corrective actions approved by Council at the March 5 meeting , FY 2024 might end the year in a deficit position. Corrective actions approved during the FY 2024 Mid-Year Update included the following:
1 Packet Pg. 4
FY 2025 Budget Study Session Page 3 of 12
• Utilization of extraordinary salary/vacancy savings $1.92 million • Draw from remaining ARPA funds $973,087
TOTAL $2.89 million
The FY 2025 preliminary budget figures assume that all current City operations remain largely Status Quo in FY 202 5, but account for inflation, contractually agreed to increases for employees and vendors , and minor cost adjustments to meet high priority Workplan objectives. The latter is detailed where relevant in Attachment D (One-Time Requests) and Attachment E (Recurring Requests). Both are incorporated into the Preliminary FY 2025 Budget and again color-coded to show linkage to Council priorities.
Given significant fiscal challenges, which will be described in more detail below, no new permanent staffing positions are being requested at this time.
Given these parameters, Preliminary FY 2025 General Fund Operating revenues equal $66.18 million and expenditures equal $70.08 million; thereby resulting in an operating deficit of $3.87 million. Such a large structural deficit is caused by a number of factors, which are largely outside the City’s control and include the following . These items are not shown in Attachment D or Attachment E, but are incorporated into the Preliminary FY 2025 Budget and explained here so as to provide additional detail:
• Loss of several significant sales tax generators in FY 2024, which reduce ongoing sales tax revenue by approximately $600,000 annually and limit future growth. Given the expected completion and implementation of the Economic Development Plan in the near future, staff is hopeful that new sales tax generators can be brought into the City which replace these significant losses, but such businesses may not be able to fully replace the sales tax revenue lost from departing businesses . If they cannot , sales tax growth for the City will continue to be limited.
• Increased annual payment of $1.25 million to the CalPERS retirement system for the City’s required contribution towards its unfunded actuarial liability (UAL) . While normal retirement premium payments for current employees are expected to decrease over time as Classic Tier One employees are replaced by Classic Tier Two or PEPRA Tier Three employees, the City’s UAL will increase significantly in FY 2025 due to large 20%+ investment losses by CalPERS during the pandemic as well as a gradual lowering of the di scount rate. Both of these items were expected and discussed during the November 21, 2023 Study Session. Thus, one of staff’s Preliminary FY 2025 Workplan items is to develop a plan to pay down the City’s UAL and reduce overall pension costs over time. Such a plan will require adequate funding and until a plan is developed, funded, and implemented , the City will continue to be negatively impacted by unfunded pension liabilities . The following table and chart provides a 5-year history of required CalPERS UAL payments for Campbell as well as a two-year projection based on the most recent CalPERS actuarial valuation reports. As the November 21 Study Session highlighted and the numbers below show, it would again be in the City’s best financial interests to develop a plan to 1 Packet Pg. 5

pay down its UAL quicker, save on ongoing interest costs, and further long -term fiscal resiliency. Since FY 2020, the City’s UAL annual payments have increased
43.2% or $2.04 million:

Chart 1 - Historical and Projected PERS UAL
• $379,880 increase in annual General Liability and Property Insurance premiums charged by the City’s risk sharing pool (PLAN JPA ) due to adverse tort law and large natural disasters which have caused significant financial losses for the insurance market nationwide. The City participates in PLAN JPA with 27 other municipalities located in the San Francisco Bay Area and this allows each jurisdiction to pool their risk and liability and develop cost effective programs and coverage layers to mitigate and protect against those liabilities. Despite best efforts, costs have risen dramatically for the JPA the past several years and this is again indicative of the insurance market in general and not necessarily any Campbell related claims settled . It is unlikely that the City would be able to insure itself cheaper if it were to obtain insurance coverage on its own since the size of the JPA gives it significant purchasing power in the insurance market . T he following table and chart provides a 5 -year history of annual General Liability and Property insurance premiums as well as the proposed premium amount for FY 2025 . As shown below, the City has seen a 339% or $1.28 million increase in General Liability and Property premium 1 Packet Pg. 6

Chart 2 – Historical and Projected General Liability and Insurance Premiums
• Increased annual payment of $366,013 to Santa Clara County Fire District (SCCFD) to pay for contractual fire services. Such increases are set by contractual formula each year (established July 1, 2018 and effective until June 30, 2028) and factor in the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), change in Firefighter/Engineer compensation, and change in Assessed Property Valuations within Campbell. Each carries a weight of 50%, 25%, and 25%, respectively, and the total fire services contract shall increase by no less than 2% and no more than 5% annually. The following table and chart provides a 5 -year history of annual contractual costs for Fire Services as well as the proposed cost for FY 2025. As shown below, the City has seen a 23.0% or $2.10 million increase in Fire Services contractual costs since FY 2020. Despite these increases and pending further analysis , it is unlikely the City could obtain these services cheaper if it were to operate its own internal Fire Department . Although, s taff recommends performing a more detailed cost -benefit analysis at least one year prior to the expiration of the fire services contract on June 30, 2028:

Chart 3 – Historical and Projected Fire Services Contractual Costs
Taken on their own, the three (3) significant expenditure increase areas detailed above coupled with sizeable sales taxes losses described contribute $2.60 million to the City’s projected General Fund operating deficit in FY 2025 and are largely outside the City’s control. Other factors contributing to the projected operating deficit in FY 2025 include scheduled 3% contractual salary adjustments for all bargaining units per negotiated MOUs (with all expiring June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2025) , 8% assumed healthcare premium increases across all plans , increases to utility rates, generally elevated inflation, and an expected decrease in Intergovernmental grants (offset by a like ly decrease in grant related reimbursable expenses) . Please note that Other Taxes show a sizeable decrease of $1.74 million, but all of this is due to a recategorization of solid waste revenue into the Licenses and Permits revenue category and is not a true decrease.
Proposed Budget Correction Strategies
As the prior sections of this report detail, the City is being squeezed on both ends of the budget equation; with ongoing operational costs rising sharply and revenues necessary to support those costs dropping or remaining stagnant. Thus, staff proposes a number of short-term corrective strategies to ensure operational continuity in FY 2025 as well as several long -term strategies to work towards fiscal resiliency beyond just next fiscal year.
Proposed Short-Term Corrective Strategies
1 Packet Pg. 8
FY 2025 Budget Study Session Page 7 of 12
In order to address the projected General Fund operating deficit of $3.87 million in FY 2025, staff requests Council input and direction on the proposed short-term corrective strategies detailed below:
• Temporary Hiring Freeze – While the City’s list of vacant positions can change quickly based on regular turnover, filling of positions, and employee departures or retirements, for budgeting purposes, staff has assumed a full fiscal year of salary and benefit costs for 26 vacant positions equaling $3.77 million in FY 2025. Since salary and benefits costs are the City’s largest expenditure category, staff proposes a temporary half-year hiring freeze for all vacant positions starting July 1 and going through at least December 30, 2024; subject to City Manager discretion on critical positions that may have highly adverse operational, safety, fiscal, or other impacts to the City if not filled. Such a hiring freeze could save the City approximately $1.89 million.
This action will slow some Workplan initiatives and reduce operational capacity, but it is a fiscally prudent measure given the financial challenges the City faces.
Should additional funding be available after the mid-year point of FY 2025, due to potential passage of revenue measures, unexpected increases in current City revenue sources, or unexpected decreases in planned City expenditures, the hiring freeze will be revisited . Should the Council agree to the concept of a temporary hiring freeze in FY 2025, staff will return to Council at the June 4 Budget Introduction with an updated list of currently vacant positions, their full year costing, and estimated savings from a vacancy freeze. At that time, Council may also wish to adjust the length of a temporary hiring freeze based on operational needs, Council priorities, or saving necessary to bridge the budget gap in FY 2025.
• Utilization of the City’s CalPERS Pension Reserve – Several fiscal years ago, when financial circumstances allowed it, the City wisely established a CalPERS Pension Reserve which has a current balance of $2.252 million. However, a policy for how this reserve was to be used was never established by City Council and the reserve has never been drawn upon . Several public agencies have established these types of pension reserves and one common and appropriate use is to offset large spikes in annual CalPERS payments; thereby smoothing costs. Thus, staff proposed utilizing $1.25 million of the City’s CalPERS Pension Reserve in FY 2025 to fully offset the large increase in the City’s required contribution towards its UAL ; leaving a balance in this reserve of $1.002 million for future pension needs. While the draw down of any reserve is never ideal, staff recommends building up this reserve in the future should the City’s financial condition allow it. One of staff’s proposed FY 2025 Workplan items is to develop a plan to pay down the City’s UAL and reduce overall pension costs over time .
Part of that plan will include the development of a Council policy regarding the acceptable use of the City’s CalPERS Pension Reserve and how to build it up to an adequate level over time.
1 Packet Pg. 9
FY 2025 Budget Study Session Page 8 of 12
• Utilization of Remaining ARPA Funds – When all known and planned uses are taken into account through the end of FY 2025, the City has remaining ARPA funds equaling $2.06 million. As detailed in prior reports, these funds must be obligated through contractual agreements by December 31, 2024 and fully spent down by December 31, 2026. Recent ARPA guidance has also modified the definition of contractual obligation to include salary and benefit costs included within an adopted budget. Per such revised guidance, ARPA recipients such as the City of Campbell , may consider themselves to have obligated funds to maintain certain personnel costs for personnel whose salary may be paid under an eligible use of ARPA funds through December 31, 2026, for any position that existed and was filled by December 31, 2024.
Given these guidelines as well as well as the City’s projected General Fund operating deficit in FY 2025, staff proposes using $730,000 of the remaining ARPA funds to support General Fund operations in FY 2025; leaving a balance of $1.33 million for other allowable uses. Of this remaining balance, staff is also recommending the use of $1.00 million in FY 2025 for the following high -priority capital projects:
o City Facilities Roof Replacement (Project 24TT) - $375,000 o Campbell PDA Enhancements - Civic Center Dr at 2nd and 3rd Street (New Project) - $625,000
Both projects are included within the Preliminary 2024 - 2028 Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) shown as Attachment G. If Council approves staff’s proposed operating and capital uses of APRA in FY 2025, t hat would leave a remaining balance of $ 330,000 for other allowable uses . Staff recommends not allocating those funds at this time in case more is needed to balance General Fund operations in FY 2025 or if Council wishes to fund other high priority items.
For reference purposes, Council approved using $2.2 million of ARPA funds to support General Fund operations in FY 2021 and another $837,000 to balance General Fund operations in FY 2024. The current status of the ARPA fund as well as all actual and currently approved uses through FY 2025 is shown as Attachment F.
In total, the preceding Short-Term Corrective Strategies equal $3.87 million and would fully balance the General Fund in FY 2025.
Proposed Long-Term Corrective Strategies
While corrective short -term strategies discussed in the proceeding section would balance the General Fund in FY 2025 , they include a number of one -time and limited term solutions . Thus, as part of the FY 2025 budget process and beyond, staff proposes that Council consider the following long -term corrective strategies to ensure fiscal resiliency. Staff requests Council input and direction on the proposed long- term corrective strategies detailed below:
1 Packet Pg. 10
FY 2025 Budget Study Session Page 9 of 12
• Placement of One or More Revenue Measures on November 2024 Ballot – As discussed during the March 19, 2024 Study Session , Council may wish to place a variety of revenue measures on the November 2024 ballot to achieve a number of priorities. To assist in these efforts, staff is currently working with consultants to survey residents on several options and develop potential ballot measure language. $100,000 was added to the FY 2024 Operating Budget at mid-year to fund these consultant services. Staff will return to Council at a later date in the near future to provide an update on their progress and receive further Council direction. Additionally, the Preliminary FY 2025 Operating Budget includes $130,000 to support election expenses paid to the County for both district elections and potential ballot measure placements.
Given the structural imbalance of the City’s budget by $3.87 million in FY 2025, which follows a structural imbalance of $2.89 million identified during the FY 2024 Mid-Year Update, staff will be assessing community interest in generating additional, locally-controlled revenue sources. Community engagement surveys the City has conducted over the past decades all consistently show that Campbell residents value local control over local funds, the City’s tradition of fiscal prudence, and the high quality of services that local residents, businesses, and visitors have come to expect. Maintaining safe neighborhoods and commercial corridors, fire protection services, streets and parks, addressing homelessness and expanding housing options have all been identified by residents as priorities. Unless additional reliable sources of locally -controlled revenue are identified, the City may have no choice but to reduce core services our public relies on. That’s why the City is taking decisive steps to survey our community about its current priorities and interest, if any, in expanding our locally-controlled revenue. Any voter -approved funding sources require that the funds be spent locally, and those revenues cannot be taken by Sacramento.
• Restructuring and Repurposing of Current City Reserves – The City has a number of current reserves which provide it with fiscal stability. Some reserves are highly duplicative in purpose or have no policy on when they may be used.
Staff recommends restructuring and repurposing the City reserve funds. If Council is agreeable, staff will engage the Finance Subcommittee and will return to Council at a later date in FY 2025 with a recommendation on draft policy language for City Council’s consideration.
•
The following discussion describes the City reserve funds and staff’s recommendation on potential restructuring in FY 2025 so as to better utilize the reserves, provide clarity, and to further enhance long-term fiscal resiliency.
o General Fund Unassigned (Operating Reserve) – At the beginning of FY 2024, this reserve had a balance of $1.338 million and it is intended to provide the City with operating cash flow. However, it has never been drawn down upon and is not needed for cash flow purposes. The City 1 Packet Pg. 11
FY 2025 Budget Study Session Page 10 of 12
maintains its operating cash flow through its investments in the highly liquid Local Agency Investment Fund ( LAIF) and other short -term investment tools . And per the City’s Adopted FY 2024 Investment Strategy, staff works to ensure at least 3 months of liquid funds, which equal approximately $22.2 million in FY 2024. Thus, staff recommends closing the General Fund Unassigned (Operating Reserve) and shifting the remaining balance to the City’s Economic Fluctuations Reserve. The Economic Fluctuations Reserve is set at 16.67% (2 months) of Operating Expenditures per Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) best practice and is currently $1.1 million below its policy target level. Bringing the Economic Fluctuations Reserve back up to its policy target level would help protect the City against economic downturns such as that seen during the COVID-19 pandemic.
o Emergency Reserve – At the beginning of FY 2024, this reserve had a balance of $3.21 million and it is intended to provide operating cash flow in cases of immediate financial emergency or disaster. It has a policy target of 10% of Operating Revenues and is currently $3.74 million below that policy target level . For references purposes, it was drawn down by $3.0 million during the pandemic to help offset a quick and large decline in City revenues and to preserve City services. However, due to continued financial constraints, the City has never been able to develop a sustainable plan to bring it back up to the policy target level and maintain it there. Nevertheless, the purpose of the Emergency Reserve is highly similar to the purpose of the Economic Fluctuations Reserve. Thus, Thus, staff recommends closing the Emergency Reserve and shifting the remaining balance to the following current and to be established reserves:
▪ $1.21 million to the CalPERS Pension Reserve to almost fully build back up what staff proposes drawing down from that reserve in FY 2025 to offset a large spike in required UAL contributions.
Revenue measures, if passed, could also help to further build the City’s CalPERS Pension Reserve and pay down unfunded pension liabilities.
▪ $1.0 million to establish a new Infrastructure Reserve to fund ad hoc building repairs and act as seed money for deferred maintenance, rehabilitation, and construction projects. Revenue measures, if passed , could possibly shift any excess funds not needed to support City operations to further build up this reserve over time.
▪ $1.0 million to establish a Technology Reserve to act as seed money for technology projects which make City operations more efficient and cost effective . Revenue measures, if passed , could 1 Packet Pg. 12
FY 2025 Budget Study Session Page 11 of 12
possibly shift any excess funds not needed to support City operations to further build up this reserve over time.
Preliminary 2023 - 2028 Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
Enclosed as Attachment G is the Preliminary 202 5 - 2029 Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) . This attachment provides a comprehensive Overview and Introduction of the Preliminary CIP, Financial Summaries, Funding Schedules, a list of FY 2025 Proposed Projects, Detailed Project Sheets for new projects, and an updated Unfunded Projects list. The attachment provides complete details for the Proposed CIP and staff will present them to Council during the May 7th Budget Study Session. Staff requests Council input and direction on the Preliminary 202 5 - 2029 Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) shown in Attachment G.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the May 7 Budget Study Session. Staff will use feedback received to further develop the FY 2025 Proposed Operating Budget and the 2025 – 2029 Proposed CIP. These budgets are scheduled to be formally introduced to Council on June 4, and considered for adoption on June 18. Complete fiscal impacts for both items will be shared with Council and the public on those dates , including an updated 7 -Year Forecast so that future fiscal impacts of current actions can be fully understood and considered before final action is taken by City Council.

Attachment: ARPA Fund 221 Status 05-07-24 (FY 2025 Budget Study Session) Capital Improvement Plan
This section of the budget contains the City's Adopted Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). It also provides speci c capital project details (including projected operating budget impacts) and a listing of carry forward projects.
In conjunction with the annual budget process, the City prepares a CIP that identi es anticipated project expenditures greater than $25,000 over a multi-year timeframe. The CIP provides the City with a strategic planning document that guides near- and medium-term expenditures for preservation of City infrastructure; major investments in existing or new facilities; and other asset maintenance and investment expenditures, including technology and communications systems. Projects shown in the rst year receive budgetary appropriations as part of the FY 2025 budget approval process.
Summary
As shown below, the Proposed 2025-2029 CIP contains 76 projects of which 9 are new, an additional 38 have appropriations within the ve-year plan, and 29 projects are carried over from prior years with no additional appropriations needed.

Attachment: 2025 - 2029 Preliminary Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) (FY 2025 Budget Study Session) Project Funding Sources
Revenue for project expenditures comes from a number of funding sources, both restricted and discretionary. The Adopted Five-Year CIP totals $99.1 million. Nearly 60% of the Adopted 2025-2029 CIP budget is for the Measure O – Civic Center Improvements project. This project is a nearly $63 million project funded by proceeds of general obligation bond sales, as authorized by voters in 2018, as well as various Federal, State and Local funding sources. Its current remaining balance is $58.6 million. Measure O funds are restricted funds whose expenditures are to be reviewed by an Oversight Committee appointed by the City Council.
The remaining $40.5 million in the 2025-2029 Adopted CIP budget comprises the following sources: Grant / Private funds which are restricted for speci c uses, such as a County VTA grant for the widening of the Hamilton Avenue Highway 17 Southbound Offramp, totaling $14.2 million (14%); Vehicle Impact Fees are contributing a total of $6.0 million (6%) towards annual street maintenance; Gas Tax (SB1) funds are providing an additional $7.4 million (8%) towards annual street maintenance work; Parkland Dedication fees to pay for improvement projects at various parks or recreational facilities are funding a total of $2.9 million (3%); Capital Improvement Plan Reserves (CIPR) are contributing $9.3 million (9%); and Construction Tax and Environmental Service Funds are providing $0.7 million of the total $94.6 million in the Adopted Five-year CIP.
The CIPR, which is part of the General Fund, is the City's most exible funding source and has historically been used for a wide range of project expenditures. By established City Policy, the CIPR receives a portion of available General Fund surplus at scal year-end. The availability of funds for the CIPR is dependent on actual expenditures and revenues in a given year. In years when revenues are strong or expenditures are lower than anticipated, CIPR increases. In years when revenues are lean and reserves are needed to balance the City's budget, the CIPR does not increase and adopted projects are required to be deferred or placed on the City's Unfunded Projects list.
The City projects an increase to CIPR of $750,000, $1,000,000, $1,250,000, $1,500,000, and $1,500,000 from FY 2025 through FY 2029.
Planning Commission Review
The Planning Commission will hold a Public Hearing to consider the Proposed CIP on May 14, 2024. During that meeting, the Commission will determine if the ve-year CIP is consistent with the City's General Plan and if the adopted projects in the CIP are to be either categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), or have been considered under previous project approvals.
Assumptions and Operating Budget Impacts
The 2025-2029 CIP is prepared in accordance with certain assumptions about funding constraints, operating budget implications, City priorities, and work plans as summarized below:
Project and equipment costs, where applicable, are based on department estimates. Cost estimates are based on current market and contract experience on similar projects, where available, or order of magnitude cost estimates for larger projects in the early phases of design. Projects managed by Public Works include "soft costs" such as staff costs for project management, design, inspection and administration, and consultant services as necessary.
Ongoing operating costs for annual maintenance and technical support, as well as any new revenues, are projected for each capital project and, as appropriate, are re ected in the operating budget. For the current capital plan, due to the nature of the projects included in the plan, most of the projects are not expected to have a signi cant operating budget impact. Existing work plans, ongoing programs and service level requirements were taken into consideration in project scheduling.
Project Selection Criteria
Criteria used in evaluating project requests include:
The project's relationship to the City's strategic goals and objectives The project's impact on the operating budget (if any)
The nature of the project in terms of preservation of City assets versus new construction or acquisition Available nancing
Consequences of not completing the project (e.g., public safety)
