MAYOR HARTKE introduced the discussion item and called for a staff presentation.
JOSHUA WRIGHT, City Manager, said they were officially kicking off the budget process and staff
would discuss a high-level overview and the economic environment. Last year, the budget kickoff
was moved to October to give Council an opportunity to provide input before staff submitted their
budget items for the year. Due to the positive feedback, they have done the kickoff again in
October. The purpose of the meeting is to set a broad framework for the budget. Because of
Chandler’s long tradition of strong financial management, they are able to do more than some
other communities, but they have the same pressures that are affecting other cities such as
inflation, recruiting and retaining the workforce, and modernized processes to meet the citizens’
expectations.
DAWN LANG, Deputy City Manager/Chief Financial Officer, presented the following presentation.

o Classification and Compensation study estimated impacts
o Added positions in critical areas such as Public Safety, Courts, IT, Facilities, Parks,
Planning, and Public Works
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS said they do the CIP plan and asked how the inflation impact has
impacted that and if there would be a shortfall.
MS. LANG said in the current year, it is having an impact. There is always a contingency built into
the projects and now they are having to use that contingency upfront. Ms. Lang said as they are
getting closer to the end of the project there are conversations about reduced scope or cancelling
a project. Because projects are costing more, the bond authorization is not going to last as long.
MAYOR HARTKE said as they begin talking about projects, there is a whole infrastructure piece
that is going to be impacted from the state level.
MS. LANG said yes, it is a threat and staff is working to see what is going to happen with Prop 400
so they can reassess.
MAYOR HARTKE said a lot of the projects are concise and contained and should get their current
allotments for the next year.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked what result they got back in the pension model with adding
the $50 million.
MS. LANG said they are getting results that the ongoing amount would go down $8-9 million but
that is depending on if they are doing any more structural changes.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked if there were other scenarios that they look at.
MS. LANG said yes and would follow up with more information.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO said he understood the discussion on inflation but there is also an
increase with sales tax, impact fees, and onetime dollars and asked how that was offsetting.
MS. LANG said they are seeing an increase as a result of inflation and as a result of the expanding
development going on. Contracting line transaction privilege tax has doubled in the first quarter
compared to the prior year. Ms. Lang said it would be another challenge to determine ongoing
versus onetime and what is sustainable. It will be hard to see the inflation impacts because it
varies depending on what is being purchased. But there are absolutely offsets.
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS said Intel is doing the expansion and if there a way that we can evaluate
what the revenue would be to the City.
Page 4 of 16
MS. LANG said when they are looking at the tax revenue, they cannot legally talk about the impact
of one taxpayer. Ms. Lang said they could talk in generalities, so the overall impacts the last two
times Intel expanded the revenues went up $11 million dollars and when the expansion stopped
it came down halfway. Ms. Lang said there is a lot of activity going on right now and it depends
how long the expansion takes.
MAYOR HARTKE said there are so many changing and volatile things right now.
COUNCILMEMBER LOPEZ said in the past he did not recall putting in the general employee pay
increases and that was discussed as the budget came in later.
MS. LANG said the timing in the past had been that staff did not know, but with the negotiations
and that the schedule has changed in the code on when things need to be completed they have a
better idea earlier when it comes to public safety. Ms. Lang said they do not share any decisions
regarding general employees until the very end because that still depends on how the budget
comes together at the end. There is a provision in the employee group agreements that the survey
is done in August so they put in an estimate of what they think the impact would be. Ms. Lang said
they were way off this year and did not expect double digits, so they were underfunded.
MAYOR HARTKE said this is not a negotiating year, so it is just a market and merit year.
MR. DUNBAR continued the presentation.

some impacts of Class and Comp study were incorporated
Page 5 of 16
•
Local Economic Impacts
• Local revenues continue to come in strong
• Intel construction impacts are being seen in our monthly revenues
• New retail will bring a destination-based shopping experience to Chandler,
increasing revenues
• State shared income tax shifting from 15% to 18% to offset flat tax
implications, but increase this year is one-time
• Inflation is driving revenues higher
• Long tradition of strong financial management
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked if the 18% was an ongoing thing.
MR. DUNBAR said it is ongoing, but in this year there would be some onetime because of the
delay.
MR. DUNBAR continued the presentation.
• The Challenges
o FY 2023-24 Budgetary Impacts

Potential Legislative Impacts

• Treat of eliminating residential rental and food for home consumption tax
($22M-$25M ongoing)
• State shared income tax final level after flat tax implemented unknown
• Prop 400 extension future is uncertain (longer term)
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO said there was some talk about how much control we have in regard
to the elimination of those taxes as a charter city, and asked if the League has talked about this.
Page 6 of 16
KELLY SCHWAB, City Attorney, said the League is aware and has been discussed among various
city attorneys.
MAYOR HARTKE said from the League’s perspective these are two of the biggest direct financial
threats.
MR. DUNBAR said a lot of our transportation funding comes from Prop 400 and those services are
very costly so we would need to determine if those services keep going and which ones.
MAYOR HARTKE said the bus program comes from these funds.
MR. LANG continued the presentation.

Regulatory City code review to adapt to easier ways of doing business
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked for more information on the code review.
MR. WRIGHT said they are doing a complete review of the development code to make it more
aligned with the infill and redevelopment environment instead of the big open suburban spaces
they used to have.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked if there were firm dates tied to the goals.
MR. WRIGHT said no, it is just a two-year plan.
MS. LANG says they are completed based on priorities and workload.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO said this seems like a long way off, but it would be helpful to see
more specific based on the quarter.
MS. LANG said they would provide that.
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS said when they talk about the regulatory code and permitting process
and if there was a way staff educated the community about the process.
MS. LANG said that they do have a good online presence and state law requires they have a very
succinct list of how long it takes to apply for something to when it is completed. Ms. Lang said they
have the ability to do all business online such as business registration and regulatory licenses and
walk someone through what they are supposed to. Ms. Lang said they also do targeted mailings
where it might be beneficial to educate people about certain things like massage licenses or short-
term rentals.
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS asked about the revenue from short term rentals in terms of sales tax.
Page 8 of 16
MS. LANG said there is no permit required so there is no fee, but when it comes to the actual
revenue there was legislation that requires 1.5% coming back to the City.
MR. DUNBAR said the legislation requires the short-term rental to report and pay tax on behalf of
their customers, so they know who the individuals are because many of the properties are rented
through an online service.
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS asked if the charter talks about hotels or motels and licensing.
MS. SCHWAB said they are authorized by state statute to implement a business registration
program, but it is not through our charter.
MS. LANG said there has been a lot of discussion at the legislative level and recently they gave
cities more authority around this because it has become an issue in some communities. Ms. Lang
said there are conversations about what we want that regulation to look like and that would be
coming to Council soon. It is driven by legislative process, and they are not allowed to require a
short-term rental owner to have a business license or registration.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked if more studies have been done on the four corners as there
is less and less retail.
MR. WRIGHT said that is a great point and a lot of the challenge staff has is to adapt the policies
to facilitate that. Mr. Wright said the conversations about housing have also been a driver to
redevelop those areas to residential or mixed use.
MAYOR HARTKE said a lot of the redevelopment is owner driven and there may be other areas the
City could identify to be more proactive. There are two corners under discussion but there may
be more.
COUNCILMEMBER LOPEZ said there have been some areas that are changing but the owners need
to be willing to do it as well.
MAYOR HARTKE said there were incentives at one time and encouraged staff to look at those
incentives and leverage the opportunity.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO said it would reduce the pressure to use the land left for housing
when there are these vacant areas and to be innovative.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked if tourism is looking into sporting events.
MR. WRIGHT said amateur is what they focus on in the tourism plan.
Page 9 of 16
COUNCILMEMBER ELLIS talked about preserving the business corridors, the various code changes
that would be coming forward, and asked if marijuana going into these areas was being monitored
and how that would impact the businesses.
MR. WRIGHT said there is a specific proposal that would be coming forward but preserving
employment corridors is always at the top of the list.
VICE MAYOR ROE said some of the projects could be workforce housing and retrofitting it into the
existing buildings.
MR. WRIGHT said it depends on the project and zoning for the site but broadly very little is
impossible it would just depend on what is proposed.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO said reconfiguring is still an option.
MR. WRIGHT said yes.
MAYOR HARTKE said instead of tearing it down but reconfiguring the building into something else.
MR. WRIGHT said the key is to have a willing partner that has the same vision.
MS. LANG continued the presentation.

COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS asked if there were environmental tests to see where we are regarding
air quality.
MS. LANG said they have done air quality tests in buildings, but they really depend on the regional
partners to test air quality overall in the county. Ms. Lang said unless there is an issue, it does not
fall into our jurisdiction.
MAYOR HARTKE said MAG just completed a study for the entire Valley. Mayor Hartke said they are
getting ozone from California, and they keep lowering the standards, so it makes it harder to meet.
There would be a lot more environmental discussions for cities and it is becoming a bigger issue.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO said there was a lot happening under sustainability and if this could
be added to the strategy so resources could be applied.
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS said there was work regarding solar panels and asked if that could be
mentioned as well. Councilmember Harris wanted to see if they could create an initiative for
residents to get solar panels for their homes.
VICE MAYOR ROE said he hoped when they do implement the sustainability solutions that it
pencils out and that it is a sound investment.
COUNCILMEMBER LOPEZ said it was important to watch the line between public and private and
that private businesses would be best to educate residents about solar.
STEVEN TURNER, Assistant to the City Manager, continued the presentation.

were at on that project.
MR. WRIGHT said that was part of the scope of the study to see what improvements would be
necessary. On Hunt Highway there is limited right of way, so the study should help answer those
questions.
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS asked when the study would be done.
MR. WRIGHT said next June.
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS asked when the Casino would be completed.

o Maintain, enhance or re-imagine existing infrastructure
o Finish planned construction of streets, parks, fiber and utility systems

o Utilize master plans to guide long-term capital investment
o Deliver on commitments made to residents through 2021 bond election
o Balance inflation, workload, and timely completion of high visibility and grant funded
projects
MAYOR HARTKE said with costs going up, things may have to be shifted and they may need to go
for the bonds sooner than expected.
MR. DUNBAR said there was a listing of projects identified through the bond process but there are
now net new projects and they want to focus on the projects that they have already talked to the
tax base about unless there is a reason why another project needs to come forward.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO said he agreed and the issue they would face would the longer they
let the facilities go the more money it would cost to fix it. Councilmember Orlando said they need
to deliver on the commitments they made during the bond election and that should be a priority.
Councilmember Orlando said they are starting to see the HVAC going out in certain areas and it
needs to be addressed.
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS said his biggest concern was inflation and the impacts. Councilmember
Harris asked if staff would be able to take a deep dive on inflation and how that is impacting
different areas of the City and forecast what they might see in the market.
MS. LANG said she recently had a conversation with the CIP manager, and they are very
complicated, but staff would summarize the information and provide it to Council.
MR. DUNBAR continued the presentation.

MS. LANG said the stabilization reserve is a special reserve in the financial policies should be
available to tap into and gives the City three years to make good decisions on what expenditures
need to come down. Ms. Lang said it may need to be higher.
MAYOR HARTKE said he would like to see what it would be like considering inflation.
