The City Council will set the reserve amount annually after the results of the prior fiscal year’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report are known. The replenishment of this reserve may also be incorporated into the annual Adopted Operating Budget if resources are available to replenish the reserve.
42. The City will maintain a General Fund Budget Stabilization Reserve with a target of 16.67%, or two months, of annual operating expenditures. The purpose of this reserve is to provide budget stability when there are fluctuations that result in lower than projected revenues and/or higher than projected expenditures that cannot be rebalanced within existing budget resources in any given fiscal year. This reserve is intended to provide a buffer, or bridge funding, to protect against reducing service levels when these fluctuations occur.
This reserve will be funded only after General Fund Contingency Reserve requirements have been met.
Any use of the General Fund Budget Stabilization Reserve shall require a majo rity vote by the City Council through the adoption of the Operating Budget or by appropriation action during the fiscal year. The City Council will set the reserve amount annually after the results of the prior fiscal year ’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report are known.

savings resulting from the pension budgeting methodologies shall be contributed to the PERS Rate Stabilization Reserve. However, the General Fund portion of any pension savings shall only be allocated to the PERS Rate Stabilization Reserve after the General Fund Contingency Reserve and the General Fund Budget Stabilization Reserve requirements have been met. The Utility Funds’ portion of any pension savings shall only be allocated to the PERS Rate Stabilization Reserve after the Capital Reserve and Rate Stabilization Reserve (RSR) requirements in the Water and Sewer utility funds have been met. If confirmed by City’s actuary that contributions are advised for that respective year, then additionally, 20% of any General Fund or Enterprise Funds annual operating surpluses shall be allocated to the PERS Rate Stabilization Reserve.

47. The City will maintain a Rate Stabilization Reserve (RSR) in the Water and Sewer utility enterprise funds with a goal of at least 16.67% or two months of the respective annual operating expend itures after the Capital Reserve requirements have been met. The RSR shall be used to mitigate the effects of occasional shortfalls in revenue or unanticipated expenditures that cannot be rebalanced within existing budgeted resources in any given fiscal year. Revenue shortfalls may result from a number of events such as weather factors (wet weather or drought events and natural disasters), increased water conservation, and poor regional economic conditions. The Rate Stabilization Reserves should be used to assist in smoothing out revenue variability resulting from these factors and ensure that adequate resources are available during such times that might otherwise require large rate increases to utility customers. The City Council will set the reserve amounts annually after the results of the prior fiscal year’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report are known. The RSR funding will be phased within five years, or sooner, as part of the fiscal year- end closing process. Thereafter, the replenishment of these reserves may also be incorporated into the annual Adopted Operating Budget if resources are available to replenish the reserves.
48. The City will maintain capital reserves in the Water and Sewer utility enterprise funds to provide for future capital projects and unanticipated emergencies, such as water main break repairs, pump station repairs.
The City will attempt to maintain a capital reserve of approximately 30% of the annual operating and maintenance expenses for the Water utility fund and 25% of the annual operating and maintenance expenses for the Sewer utility fund. The City Council will set the reserve amounts annually after the results of the prior fiscal year’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report are known.
49. In addition, the City will maintain Infrastructure Replacement Funds for both water and sewer utilities. The goal is to accumulate at least $2 million a year from each utility fund to set-aside for replacement of infrastructure as the infrastructure reaches the end of its useful life after Capital Reserve, the Rate Stabilization Reserve, and CalPERS Rate Stabilization Reserve requirements have been met. 336

Any use of the General Fund Contingency Reserve shall require a majority vote by the City Council through the adoption of the Operating Budget or by appropriation action during the fiscal year. The City Council will set the reserve amount annually after the results of the prior fiscal year’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report are known. The replenishment of this reserve may also be incorporated into the annual Adopted Operating Budget if resources are available to replenish the reserve.
42. The City will maintain a General Fund Budget Stabilization Reserve with a target of 16.67%, or two months, of annual operating expenditures. The purpose of this reserve is to provide budget stability when there are fluctuations that result in lower than projected revenues and/or higher than projected expenditures that cannot be rebalanced within existing budget resources in any given fiscal year. This reserve is intended to provide a buffer, or bridge funding, to protect against reducing service levels when these fluctuations occur.
This reserve will be funded only after General Fund Contingency Reserve requirements have been met.
Any use of the General Fund Budget Stabilization Reserve shall require a majority vote by the City Council through the adoption of the Operating Budget or by appropriation action during the fiscal year.

47. The City will maintain a Rate Stabilization Reserve (RSR) in the Water and Sewer utility enterprise funds with a goal of at least 16.67% or two months of the respective annual operating expenditures after the Capital Reserve requirements have been met. The RSR shall be used to mitigate the effects of occasional shortfalls in revenue or unanticipated expenditures that cannot be rebalanced within existing budgeted resources in any given fiscal year. Revenue shortfalls may result from a number of events such as weather factors (wet weather or drought events and natural disasters), increased water conservation, and poor regional economic conditions. The Rate Stabilization Reserves should be used to assist in smoothing out revenue variability resulting from these factors and ensure that adequate resources are available during such times that might otherwise require large rate increases to utility customers. The City Council will set the reserve amounts annually after the results of the prior fiscal year’s Comprehensive Annual F inancial Report are known. The RSR funding will be phased within five years, or sooner, as part of the fiscal year- end closing process. Thereafter, the replenishment of these reserves may also be incorporated into the annual Adopted Operating Budget if resources are available to replenish the reserves.
48. The City will maintain capital reserves in the Water and Sewer utility enterprise funds to provide for future capital projects and unanticipated emergencies, such as water main break repairs, pump station re pairs.
The City will attempt to maintain a capital reserve of approximately 30% of the annual operating and maintenance expenses for the Water utility fund and 25% of the annual operating and maintenance expenses for the Sewer utility fund.

Is there anything else that you would want the City to consider in the development of the FY 2022-2023 budget?
Please put in a traffic light at Kennedy and North Park Victoria. That has been a dangerous intersecton for years! The VTA bus hit my van there years ago.
We live near there and see many people run the stop sign on North Park Victoria. About nine months ago, I was stopped at Kennedy wanting to make a right hand turn onto North Park Victora. A car came barreling southbound down North Park Victoria, I thought I better wait to see if she was going to run the stop sign or not. She ran the stop sign! If I had pulled out, after stopping, she would have hit my car for sure and probably killed me. Please help us!!! Paint the corners red in the pines.
Help our unhoused residents obtain housing. Build parking so Main Street can become a true downtown
Cleaning up run down parts of the city and prioritizing improving the "Milpitas smell" or whatever it actually is that causes it. It's been a problem for too long with no action.
No Smoking within City Limits. Reduce speed limits. Cite noisy vehicles and reckless drivers doing donuts. Cite speeders & tailgaters! Moritorium on new building construction. More park restrooms with daily upkeep. Cite shopping cart theft. Cite trespassers, panhandlers, public intoxication and illegal camping. Increase parking lot patrols to hinder car break-ins. Require businesses to clear their properties of litter and graffiti. Restore green-space by not renewing superfluous business permits and building expansion.
Reduce BART noise. Restore natural hillsides to undeveloped state. Reverse asphalt areas back to indigenous flora. More community Gardens! Go Big on 4thFireworks!!
Remarking streets. Can barely see lines etc on busy streets. Put more lights in the parks. They are dark in the night and shady characters lurk when it is dark.

Traffic light needed in Kennedy and Park Victoria, and a4 way stop sign at Kennedy and Fanyon.
I am a strong advocate of Public Safety. That however does not mean inflated salaries and benefits. It seems every PS union bargains to be in the top X% when compared to other cities. This is a never-ending spiral that is out of control. I would hope that elected officials would get the best bang for the taxpayers' dollars.
Upgrade and make useable the community TV station that’s in City Hall already.
Reducing the number of high level administrators at City Hall. Yes , please consider a traffic light at the intersection of Kennedy and Park Victoria , it is a very dangerous intersection. The length from calaveras to jacklin is too long. Also a 4 way stop sign on Kennedy and Fanyon. It’s a school crossing and vehicles don’t stop
Please Allocate 2 milluon to Milpitas Humane Society of Silicone Valley for Milpitas TNR program for Non-profit Organization in Milpitas For Milpitas Citizens.
Speed bumps in the streets of high parent/child traffic to and from 2 schools.
Example: Randall ES/Rose ES, Carnegie to Roswell on Edsel Drive. Stop sign to stop sign- cars are driving so fast to be able to avoid hitting ANY pedestrian.
Please do something effective to get rid of bad smell in Milpitas. It’s really bad for health. This is due to landfill site and Milpitas should hire some attorneys to get rid of it.
It’s not a safe neighborhood any more. One of my cars were parked on the street parking and it got broken in multiple times. The last time it was broken in the thief cut the wires and took lots of parts away, and we had to donate it since it’s not drivable any more. My Prius was parked on the street too. The transmitter was repeatedly stolen. And after I installed a steel pad to present it from happening again, my car window was smashed. It’s becoming more and more scary to live here.

Item # 1.
Increase staffing!
Provide more discount for seniors on water utility bill, and incentive for homeowners to build tiny home in their backyard for very low income and section 8 people.
Not just affordable housing. ALL HOUSING PROJECTS. LET COMPANIES BUILD.
Schools need to be more skilled and willed to be inclusive of marginalized community especially special needs children. Right now, there is much more lip service than actually benefiting programs and actions for children.
Inclusivity in action should be a top mandate.
Concentrate on affordable housing, and facilities for our homeless community
Do not keep converting hotels into homeless shelters. More Parks and green areas for natural Living with good security system Housing unhoused people must be a priority. If you can't solve this our city ends up looking like a slum.
No more housing. Preserve space for gardens. Get rid off biohazards in our community. Clean railroad ave and many other encampments like the city if santa barbara
Invest in our education system, pay our teachers and improve our schools.

Balance
Possible Strategy includes 3 main components:
Pension Section 115 Trust – “115 Trust”
• Established irrevocable trust on June 30, 2021@ $33.9M • FY22 First full year investment, with moderate risk strategy of 5-years, 3%-6% earnings goal General Fund PERS Balance – on the balance sheet
• FY21 Surplus, City set aside another $2.8M on the balance sheet Bartel Actuary enlisted to conduct City pension actuarial reports and develop funding strategies • CalPERS FY21 investment return 21% versus 6.8% assumed (discount rate) • January 2022 Bartel published City report with the CalPERS 21% investment return, 6.8% discount rate and 115 trust at 4%
• Determines that the 115 Trust will stabilize future City pension impacts on the budget • Recommends withdrawing from the 115 Trust starting in FY23 and aligns withdrawals with Milpitas unfunded liability payments through 2037
Proposal
Conservatively implement 50% of actuarially determined funding Use the Gen Fund PERS Balance ($2.8M) over 3 years (or $0.9M/yr) prior to using 115 Trust Advantages: allows 115 Trust to accrue investments earnings for 4 years, then begin withdrawal in year 5 80 CalPERS Pension – FY2022-23 Costs
