2021-22 City Manager's Proposed Budget
This report transmits a balanced fiscal year (FY) 2021-22 Proposed Budget for
community review and comment. No action is required at this time. Action on the
FY 2021-22 budget is scheduled for the May 18, 2021 Council meeting.
THIS ITEM IS FOR INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION.
The 2021-22 Proposed Trial Budget presented to City Council on March 16, 2021
included proposed increases in employee compensation and additions of a variety of
City programs and services using the General Fund (GF) projected surplus of $153M.
Staff revised revenue estimates based on 8-month technical revenue reviews and an
additional $1.8M in resources is available for community priorities identified by
residents at 14 virtual budget hearings, from the FundPHX tool, and comments
received directly to the Budget & Research Department. This feedback from our
residents was taken into consideration and changes to the proposed budget are
reflected in this report.
Summary
The GF revised projected surplus for FY 2021-22 is $154.8M. Due to the leadership of
the City Council over the past year, it represents a remarkable turnaround from the
budget of 2020-21 when we instituted hiring freezes to prevent COVID related deficits.
The surplus is available for negotiated employee compensation increases and
additions to programs and services in several important categories. The surplus is
largely made up of $98M in one-time funds and a newly revised $56.8M in ongoing
resources. One-time funds represent resources from the Council approved transfer of
funding from the Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) to offset public safety salaries as
permitted by the Federal guidelines. Ongoing resources represent primarily anticipated
growth in revenues for next fiscal year. Proposed Budget additions, including changes
from the Trial Budget as a result of community input, are summarized below and more
detailed explanations are provided in Attachment A (GF Proposed Additions) and
Attachment B (Non-GF Proposed Additions). Community input on the budget is also
summarized in this report. Additionally, all resident comments received on the budget
and the youtube videos of all 14 virtual budget hearings are available on the Budget &
Research website at https://www.phoenix.gov/budget. This report also includes
Page 5
explanations of items not included in the proposed budget, but commented on by the
public, as well as detailed schedules on the 2021-22 proposed budget for all City funds
(Schedules 1 - 11).
Proposed Changes and Additions to the City Manager's Budget
As presented, the City Manager's (CM) Proposed Budget includes several
recommendations that continue to move the City forward in addressing critical
community priorities and ensuring our most important asset, our employees, are fairly
compensated for the outstanding work they do for the community. The 2021-22 Trial
Budget presented to City Council and the community on March 16, 2021 has been
revised to account for resident feedback. Changes are identified in this report as
*NEW* and are included in Attachments A and B. The following is a summary list of
the proposed changes:
· Build and set-aside operating funds for three new neighborhood Parks in the
Southwest area of Phoenix, which can be built with impact fees.
· Maintenance at the Highline Canal.
· Additional staff for the Pueblo Grande Museum.
· Resources for advancement of Fast Track City initiatives to promote AIDS
awareness and prevention.
· A City Navigator for Veterans' services.
· Additional funding for the City's Adaptive Reuse Program.
· Additional staff to properly maintain City cemeteries.
· Additional staff in the Water Department (non-general funded from Water Services)
to implement recommendations from the Water Conservation Ad Hoc Committee.
Including the above changes to the proposed budget from community input, GF
priorities include the following recommended increases totaling $154.8M by category
and are summarized below:
· Negotiated Employee Compensation Increases (Ongoing and One-time) - $118.3M
· Public Safety Reform & Responsiveness - $20.5M
· COVID Relief & Resiliency - $2.6M
· Climate Change & Heat Readiness - $2.8M
· Affordable Housing & Homelessness - $2.8M
· Building Community & Responding to Growth - $4.7M
· Administrative Accountability - $3.1M
The proposed Trial Budget also includes additions of $4.3M for Non-GF Departments
Page 6
including Water, Planning and Development, Solid Waste and Streets Transportation.
Information on proposed Non-GF budget additions are summarized in this report and
detailed in Attachment B.
Proposed General Fund Additions - $154.8M and 318.2 positions
Below is a summary by category of the proposed GF additions to the 2021-22 City
Manager's Budget. Detailed information about each supplemental by department is
provided in Attachment A.
Employee Compensation - $118.3M
The City continues to negotiate with labor units on the development of labor contracts
for FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23. Current labor contracts expire June 30, 2021.
Based on available resources, service needs and the Five-Year GF Forecast presented
to Council on February 23, 2021, the City is proposing to allocate 76 percent or
$118.3M of the total GF Surplus to address employee compensation. Three of the five
union contracts have been ratified and approved by the City Council.
Public Safety Reform & Responsiveness - $20.5M and 226.9 positions
The Mayor, City Council and residents have expressed the need for more
accountability, responsiveness, transparency and trust from public safety programs.
The spending proposals in this category will help to accomplish improved trust and
service delivery from our public safety departments. Primary in this category is
additional resources for a bold investment of $15M towards expanding an existing
civilian only program for responding to mental and behavioral health calls for service.
Mental and Behavioral Health Calls for Service: Community members, first responders
and mental health professionals have all identified the need for enhanced mental
health and crisis response support in Phoenix. Vulnerable communities including
children and the elderly, individuals experiencing abuse, poverty and homelessness,
residents with behavioral and mental health disorders or people with alcohol and drug
dependencies all require additional support. In order to bridge this gap and to improve
service delivery to individuals contacting 911 experiencing behavioral and mental
health issues or in need of emergency crisis response, the City has proposed adding
resources to the Community Assistance Program (CAP).
The plan includes increasing the number of crisis response units to a total of 10 and
establishing nine new behavioral health units across the city based on where the
highest concentration of calls are received. The concept is to create an effective City of
Phoenix behavioral and mental health crisis response program where multiple City
departments work alongside non-profit organizations and the behavioral health
Page 7
community to improve the quality of life for residents in need. The proposed model
also recommends expanding the existing city contract with IMD medical group to offer
telemedicine services to residents who are experiencing comorbidities, where both a
mental and behavioral health problem exists along with a medical issue. This on call
medical platform would be accessible to the CAP program 24/7 and provide access to
licensed medical professionals who can access the Health Information Exchange
(HIE). The program would also seek to establish a contract for a public-private
partnership with a behavioral healthcare provider to create a comprehensive model
where individuals will receive both immediate service from the CAP units and be
connected to additional services through the contracted provider.
The proposed solution would accomplish several goals including:
· Increase behavioral health resources to the community by focusing on timely
immediate response to individuals in need.
· Crisis de-escalation and appropriate civilian trained response to improve
relationships in the community with public safety.
· Prevent criminalizing behavioral health issues and unnecessarily incarcerating
and/or hospitalizing individuals with mental illness.
· Provide alternate behavioral health care and connect community members in crisis
through a coordinated system-wide collaborative approach.
· Avoid duplicating behavioral health services.
· Outreach and connection to long term case management services to reduce repeat
calls to 911.
· Access to licensed medical professionals where needed to improve service
outcomes.
· Return PPD and PFD first responders to core public safety emergency incidents.
· Better use of taxpayer resources.
Implementation of a new behavioral and mental health program is a heavy lift. For this
reason, the City has proposed the program be started within the Fire Department by
leveraging the already successful CAP, which has been in existence since 1995,
however has been under-resourced and unable to meet community demands. The
program currently responds to mental and behavioral health calls for service and is
managed by licensed civilian professionals in social work and counseling. Full
implementation of the enhanced program is anticipated to take 18-24 months, and
once fully operational the program is estimated to cost $15M based on analysis
conducted by the Budget & Research Department. Once the program is fully
operational, further analysis will be conducted to determine if budgetary savings have
been realized to the City. If resources are freed up in the Police and/or Fire
Departments which results in budgetary savings, the City Council can allocate those
Page 8
resources as it deems appropriate based on actual data and experience for the
program.
A significant number of public comments were given on the proposed model at the
virtual budget hearings. It is clear a program that relieves police officers of being first
responders to mental and behavioral crisis situations where possible is supported.
There were questions and criticisms of the potential structure, including its assignment
in the Fire Department; an expressed desire for more money to be allocated and to
take that money directly from the Police Department; questions about potential
communication with federal ICE officials; and an expressed desire for community
involvement in the program design and implementation. In response to this feedback,
during the implementation phase the City plans to seek input from the community and
mental and behavioral health stakeholders to ensure the program meets the needs of
all. Staff also plans to engage independent experts to conduct thorough process
mapping, best practices identification, community engagement, performance
measures, and the scope of the behavioral health unit Request for Proposal. At full
completion this program could transition from the Fire Department to either its own
function or be incorporated within the Human Services Department as part of a crisis
response division which would include the Family Advocacy Center. In terms of ICE, as
explained at the budget hearings, civilian employees (like CAP) do not call ICE when
providing services. The Police Department only calls ICE when a person is arrested,
booked into jail, or given a citation in lieu of detention. If a CAP call turns into a
situation requiring police intervention, and there is an arrest, citation or booking, only
then would ICE be involved according to current policy and state law.
Other proposed additions in this category include:
· Human Services Department ($90K) - a new Victim Services Caseworker III (1) to
serve as a navigator to services for relatives of decedents and juveniles as a result
of officer involved shootings or in custody deaths. This was a recommendation of
the Traumatic Incident Ad Hoc Committee.
· Fire Department ($800K) - In addition to the above CAP expansion for mental
health calls for service, staff recommends adding (15) civilian positions for
paramedic trainers (3), radio technicians (2) and 911 Dispatchers (10).
· Municipal Court ($350K) - additional staff (5) to provide operational support at the
new Maricopa County Intake, Transfer and Release facility (2) and to properly staff
the Orders of Protection Office (3).
· Police Department ($3.7M) - proposed funding to add civilian staff (75) to improve
accountability, transparency and relationships with the community. The Phoenix
Police Department is down over 300 civilian positions since the Great Recession
Page 9
and several functions struggle to meet service demands. The recommended civilian
positions will be used to: improve turnaround time for public records requests (15);
add staff to ensure data reporting compliance with the National Incident-Based
Reporting System (34); funding for positions (4) to manage a new Early
Identification & Intervention System (EIIS), which was recommended in 2019 by
community stakeholders, Arizona State University and City leadership. The system
is intended to use date analytics to proactively identify trends and intervene prior to
an employee's adverse actions; continue with the plan to civilianize the Central
Booking Detail (22) which is a more cost effective way to perform the administrative
booking function; and add $500k for a GF set-aside for Police reform to improve
community trust, and provide a comprehensive review of the Phoenix Police
department. This review will include a thorough evaluation of practices and policies,
actively solicit stakeholder and community feedback and provide recommendations
for improvement.
· Street Transportation Department ($600K) - funding for projects included in the
comprehensive Roadway Safety Action Plan approved by Council on March 2.
COVID Response & Resiliency - $2.6M and 7 positions
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented numerous challenges for the City concerning
protecting the public and employees during the pandemic. These efforts have included
consultation with medical experts to guide decision making in how to navigate the
pandemic, continuing service delivery remotely and/or implementing spatial distancing
measures, providing food assistance, providing mobile outreach and wifi services to
the community and quickly moving to virtual information technology platforms to
accommodate teleworking and video conferencing. Proposed additions are included in
the budget to provide services and to add staff to ensure the City not only continues to
responsibly navigate the pandemic, but also to provide these service enhancements
and information technology benefits going forward. Additions include:
· City Manager's Office ($150K) - add funding to continue the contract for expert
medical and public health consultation.
· Office of Environmental Programs ($300K) - add a Program Manager (1) and
funding to continue the Emergency Food Assistance Program and to achieve the
goals of the Council approved 2025 Phoenix Food Action Plan.
· Information Technology Department ($1.7M) - Add staff (3) and managed contract
services to support the technology deployed due to the pandemic for teleworking,
new wifi locations, and video conferencing. Funds are also requested to ensure IT
security for projects arising from the pandemic including the new PHX 311 and
Learning Management Systems.
· Library Department ($200K) - add funding to continue mobile service for the "Mifi"
Page 10
hotspot program, online programming and remote outreach, and laptop support.
· Public Works Department ($200K) - add positions (3) to staff the appointment
counter in City Hall and Calvin C. Goode. This counter has been well received by
the public and offers a streamlined way to make appointments with various City
departments.
Climate Change & Heat Readiness - $2.8M and 14.0 positions
Negative impacts from climate change and increasing Phoenix temperatures call for
strategies to address negative impacts to air quality from pollutants and carbon
emissions. The growing hazard of urban heat to the public, particularly vulnerable
populations such as the homeless, require a forward thinking approach to provide for a
sustainable environment for City residents. Proposed additions in this category
include establishing a new Office of Heat Response and Mitigation, provide additional
resources and staff to achieve the goals of the 2010 Tree and Shade Master Plan,
increase staff for the Energy System Inspection Program in the Fire Department and
add funding for conducting greenhouse gas emissions inventories and to assist with
implementing the City's newly created Climate Action Plan. Additions include:
· City Manager's Office ($500K) - add staff (4) to create a new Office of Heat
Response and Mitigation. This includes a Tree and Shade Administrator
recommended by the Environmental Quality and Sustainability Commission.
· Fire Department ($0) - add civilian staff (5) and equipment to support the Solar
Energy Inspection Program. Costs of this addition are offset by increased revenues
receive by the City for solar energy system inspections resulting in a net zero
increase to the GF.
· Office of Environmental Programs ($200K) - add funding to conduct green house
gas emissions inventories and provide modeling and analysis regarding air quality.
· Parks Department ($600K) - add an additional Forestry crew (5) to plant additional
trees in City parks, and provide funding to update the tree inventory and database.
The City Council approved the Tree and Shade Master Plan in 2010 with the goal to
double the shade canopy by 2030. The additional staff and an accurate tree
inventory and database will help to accomplish this goal.
· Streets Transportation Department ($1.5M) - add funding to the Cool Corridors
Program, which was developed to align with the Tree and Shade Master Plan to
assist with planting 200 trees per mile for a total of 1,800 new trees planted across
nine project areas, one in each Council district and citywide.
*NEW* Affordable Housing & Homelessness - $2.8M and 4.0 positions
The City of Phoenix has a lack of affordable housing and a growing homeless
population in need of assistance. The City Council approved a Housing Phoenix Plan
Page 11
in 2020 and recently the Homeless Strategies Plan to find solutions specifically to
identify funding to increase and improve affordable housing units as well as to
leverage federal funding and work with community partners to help the homeless.
Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the homeless population in the
downtown area and the Hatcher Road area of Sunnyslope, requiring additional
cleanings in these areas for waste removal, trash pickup and sanitization. The
proposed additions listed below will assist with achieving the critical mission of
increasing affordable housing and helping the homeless. Additions in this category
include:
· Housing Department ($1.6M) - *NEW* add a Special Projects Administrator (1) (this
position was previously a Project Manager in the Trial Budget) to coordinate the
RFP process and contract management for development of affordable or mixed
income housing on City-owned land and to conduct community outreach. Add one-
time funding of $1.4M for infrastructure improvements at Sante Fe Springs
affordable apartment homes.
· Human Services Department ($175K) - add positions (2) to create a homeless
advocate workforce specialist and administrative support to help the homeless find
employment to achieve self sufficiency and to ensure compliance with federal

provide sidewalk and right-of-way cleanups at the Human Services Campus in the
downtown area and the Hatcher Road area of Sunnyslope.
*NEW* Building Community & Responding to Growth - $4.7M and 39.3 positions
This category proposes multiple additions across several City departments with the
intent to provide targeted economic development opportunities for the West region of
the City, to expand the successful College Depot Program for our younger residents,
increase funding for the Arts and Historic Preservation, provide for adequate floodplain
management, add funding for landscape management due to recently completed
capital projects, and address the need for more resources due to growth and demand
for city amenities and services. *NEW* resident feedback included a desire for more
parks in the Southwest region of the city, a dedicated Veterans Advocate position,
resources for maintenance of the Highline Canal, staff for Pueblo Grande Museum,

connection to services for our residents who are veterans of the military.
· Library Department ($200K) - add positions (2) to expand the College Depot
Program to provide increased outreach and more assistance to prepare students for
high school equivalency testing and college entrance exam testing. The additional
resources would also increase the number of high school students who can be
assigned to an advisor in the program to ensure a successful transition to college.
· Office of Arts & Culture ($200K) - add funding for additional community arts grants,
increase opportunities to engage youth in arts programs, provide training to art

art programming around the city at libraries, community centers and cultural
centers.
· Parks and Recreation Department ($2.9M) - add full-time and part-time positions
(29.3) to support growing needs at various parks and recreation centers, including
the new Cesar Chavez Community Center scheduled to open in the Fall 2021,
Margaret T. Hance Park and Deem Hills (13.3). Funding is also requested to add
positions for urban park and facility management (2) and to continue the successful
Adaptive Inclusion Recreation Program (3) started during the pandemic via a
partnership with the Phoenix Suns. *NEW* add a GF set-aside of ($945K) for (6)
new positions and operating and maintenance costs for three new parks located at
55th Avenue & Samantha Way in District 8, 71st Avenue & Meadows and 87th Ave

also included for (1) position for Pueblo Grande Museum, and (4) positions to
properly maintain the Highline Canal and city cemeteries.
· Planning and Development Department ($600K) - add positions (3) to support
Council and community-initiated projects and priorities. The team will devote
significant time to Rio Reimagined, leading the development of a plan with the
vision, goals, policies and strategies that guide the future growth, redevelopment
and preservation along the banks of the Salt River. The Planning team will work
with the Mayor and Council and community, along with multiple City departments,
consultants and other partners to establish a Rio Reimagined Plan that provides a
Page 13
foundation for future actions and investments, including sustainable land use, heat
mitigation, diverse housing options, economic development and other important
programs. Funding is also included for historic preservation grants to assist
homeowners with maintaining their historic properties. *NEW* increase funding from
$25K to $30K for the successful Adaptive Reuse Program to revitalize existing
buildings, and help small businesses and neighborhoods.
· Public Works Department ($100K) - add a position for Floodplain Management (1)
to ensure compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program and the
Community Rating System, which provides discounts to residents for the rising cost
of flood insurance.
· Streets Transportation Department ($150K) - add contracted services to provide for
increased landscape management and litter removal along the Grand Canal Phase
II and the Avenida Rio Salado areas, and add a position in the Central Records
Division (1) to assist with the increasing number of requests for public records
relating to the City's right-of-way, street infrastructure, traffic services and storm
drains. The cost of this position is assessed to capital projects and non-GF
departments resulting in a net zero cost addition to the GF.
Administrative Accountability - $3.1M and 27.0 positions
As the City continues to become more diverse and grow in both population and
demand for services, additional resources are needed for a variety of departments for
operational and administration purposes. It is also important the City foster and
promote a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment to both live and work for
residents and employees. Proposed additions will provide for timely, effective and high
quality service delivery in areas concerning city elections, public records requests,
contract management, information technology, human resources, legal services, fiscal
support, and to increase funding for maintenance of the City's aging fleet of vehicles.
Resources will also be used to develop a new Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
· City Manager's Office ($270K) - add positions (2) to establish the Office of Diversity
Equity and Inclusion (DEI) to ensure the City is both a place to work and live which
promotes equitable and respectful treatment of all people.
· City Clerk Department ($300K) - provide funding for contracted services to develop
an implementation plan for upgrading, enhancing and creating new platforms for
election services to ensure continued transparency and engagement in City
elections.
· Communications Office ($100K) - add a position to the Public Records Request
Division (1) to process increasing requests for public information.
· Human Resources Department ($400K) - add positions (3) for human resource
related procurement activities, data analytics to provide more robust reporting to
Page 14
foster business process improvements and data driven decision making, and
conduct internal investigations into employee misconduct.
· Information Technology Department ($1.3M) - add positions (3) and funding for
managed services to sustain technology infrastructure and remediate vulnerabilities
to protect City systems and applications from ever evolving security threats.
· Law Department ($0) - add positions (2) by converting existing funding for
contracted paralegal services for civil litigation support. The department expects in-
sourcing of paralegal services to result in a higher quality of legal research, writing
and investigations. This is a net zero cost to the GF.
· Library Department ($400K) - add positions (3) for information technology support
of library applications and systems and for accounting and fiscal support. The
increase in virtual programming and applications requires appropriate technology
support and the department does not currently have enough resources for
accounting and fiscal related duties.
· Parks and Recreation Department ($200K) - add positions (2) for information
technology desktop and application support. The number of computers, applications
and systems has grown and requires additional positions to ensure functionality.
· Public Works Department ($130K) - restore and add positions (11) for the Fleet
Services Division (10) and human resources support for the Solid Waste Division
(1). Fleet Services is in need of additional positions to adequately maintain the
City's fleet of vehicles. The division is responsible for maintaining 7,000+ units and
assists City departments with procurement of new vehicles. The division is currently
under resourced and is not capable of providing the needed maintenance on the
City's aging and diverse fleet. The cost estimate of $130K for the GF accounts for
savings from reducing outside labor and charges to non-general fund customer
departments. This addition also adds one new human resources position to be paid
for by the Non-GF Solid Waste Division of Public Works (identified under the Non-
GF proposed additions listed below).
Position Conversions to Maintain Services - $0 and 29.5 positions
The Trial Budget includes converting 29.5 GF temporary positions to ongoing status.
Funding for these positions has been identified in each respective department's
existing operating budget and therefore represent a no-cost addition to the GF. The
position conversions are requested because the duties of each position are no longer
temporary in nature and are necessary to maintain existing service levels. A list of GF
position conversions by department is detailed in Attachment A.
Proposed Non-General Fund Additions - $4.3M and 28.0 positions
The City budget is made up of three fund sources: the General Fund, Enterprise Funds
and Other Restricted Funds. Recommendations for the General Fund were discussed
Page 15
above. Enterprise Funds include Aviation, Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste and the
Convention Center. These funds, with the exception of the Convention Center, are
funded with user fees. The Convention Center includes fees paid by those who use the
facility and Convention Center parking garages and certain earmarked sales tax
categories. Enterprise funds can only be used for costs directly associated with
delivering enterprise services. The Restricted Funds category includes federal and
state grants, gas taxes (AHUR), debt service, the Development Services Fund, the
Public Safety Specialty Funds, the Phoenix Parks and Preserve Initiative (PPPI) and
the voter-approved Transportation 2050 Fund. These funds can only be used in
accordance with grant and other statutory rules.
Total Non-GF proposed additions are summarized below by category. Detailed
information about each supplemental by department is provided in Attachment B.
Below, is a summary of the Non-GF additions:
*NEW* Climate Change & Heat Readiness - $724K and 5.0 positions

Campus downtown area clean-ups. Positions will be in the Solid Waste Division and
charged to the GF (identified earlier in this report under the GF section for proposed
additions).
Building Community & Responding to Growth - $3.5M and 20.0 positions
Proposed Non GF additions are included to add resources to support growth in
Development Services, Solid Waste and Street Transportation. These additions are
necessary for plan reviews, inspections, information technology and human resource
needs, records management, solid waste refuse and disposal management, street
cleaning and GIS services.
· Planning and Development Department ($950K) - add positions (10) for residential
and commercial plan reviews necessary due to significant increases experienced
caused by moving to electronic plan reviews (6), new positions for accounting and
technology support are required due to the new KIVA permitting system and to
adequately maintain the departments IT assets (2), higher incidents of non-
permitted construction activity requires more resources for processing citations and
preparing court documents (1), the new Remote Inspections Program implemented
Page 16
in the spring of 2020 has been successful and requires a dedicated staff member to
adequately maintain the program (1).
· Solid Waste ($2.1M) - add positions (5) for residential refuse and recycling
collection necessary due to household growth (4), increased funding for a position
at the SR85 Landfill needed due to citywide growth in solid waste tonnage and to
maintain adequate staffing levels (1).
· Streets Transportation Department ($400K) - add positions (5) to be funded by the
Arizona Highway User Revenue Fund (AHUR) for geographic information systems
(GIS) support necessary for the accelerated pavement maintenance program and to
support the workload necessary for the land base system due to growth in
development activity (2), restore supervisory positions for preventative street
maintenance and cleaning (2), and add a position for the Field Operations
Administration section to manage incoming requests from the public for street
services (1).
Administrative Accountability - $100K and 0 positions
· Solid Waste ($100K) - add funding for a position to reside in the GF for human
resources support necessary for recruitment and employee training and discipline.
The position will be in the Public Works Department (identified earlier in this report
under the GF section for proposed additions) and charged to the Solid Waste Fund.
Position Conversions to Maintain Services - $0 and 21.0 positions
The Trial Budget includes converting 21.0 Non-GF temporary positions to ongoing
status. Funding for these positions has been identified in each respective department's
existing operating budget and therefore represent a no-cost addition. The position
conversions are requested because the duties of each position are no longer
temporary in nature and are necessary to maintain existing service levels. A list of Non
-GF position conversions by department is detailed in Attachment B.

Residents also provided feedback on several topics not included as proposed
increases to the 2021-22 budget. For the below topics, residents spoke either in favor
of additional resources to develop, expand or continue the items or requested more
information be provided by City staff, below is an explanation of each item:
PHXBizConnect by HUUB
Due to COVID-19, City Council approved allocating $500K from the Coronavirus Relief
Funds for PHXBizConnect to serve as a resource for small businesses impacted by
the pandemic. The platform has been very successful and hundreds of small
businesses in the community have used it to connect to resources and networking
opportunities. Several residents expressed a desire to continue funding this successful
program. As a result, staff plans to request Council approval to include this program in
the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Strategic Plan under the "Phoenix Business
and Employee Assistance Programs" category.
Streets Projects - 3rd & 5th Avenues and Hidalgo & 19th Avenue
The Street Transportation Department’s 3rd and 5th Avenues North project is a bicycle
and pedestrian improvement project located along 3rd Avenue between McDowell
Road and Muhammad Ali Way (just north of Thomas Road) and along 5th Avenue
between McDowell Road and Thomas Road. Project improvements will include two-
way protected bicycle lanes along 3rd Avenue, a bicycle lane on 5th Avenue, curb
Page 20
ramps, streetlights, traffic signals, pedestrian improvements, and pavement mill and
overlay. The project design is currently at 60 percent, and is anticipated to be
completed in Fall 2021. There is anticipated right-of-way and easement acquisition
required for the new improvements and the earliest time-frame for construction is
summer of 2022. The current estimated construction cost is $5.5M. Based on the
current design schedule, Streets will review this project for inclusion in the
Department’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) in the Fall 2021. It should be noted
that during the annual CIP update process in late 2020, due to COVID related impacts
to Department revenue forecasts, the Street Transportation Department reduced its
five-year CIP by nearly $40 million. Due to these reductions, existing budgeted
projects were delayed and annual programs were reduced; therefore, there was no
capacity to add new projects to the CIP.
The Street Transportation Department will also replace missing trees and install an
irrigation system in the medians on Hidalgo Avenue between 20th Avenue and
Southern Avenue. The work will include installing a new water meter, underground
directional boring to connect the medians with irrigation sleeving, installing a new
irrigation system, and planting 30 trees. This project is anticipated to take
approximately two months to complete and will cost approximately $60K. The funding
is already included in the department's budget.
Transit Services in the Southwest Phoenix Area
In the Southwest Phoenix area bus service improvements have included extending
service hours on weekdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Future transit improvement
plans for the Southwest Phoenix area include extending routes on 43rd Avenue, 67th
Avenue, 75th Avenue, 83rd Avenue, Lower Buckeye Road, Broadway Road, and
Southern Avenue and the addition of new routes on 91st Avenue, 99th Avenue, and
Dobbins Road. In response to public input seeking to address transit service needs in
the area south of Interstate 10 to Van Buren Street, between 59th and 67th Avenues,
the Public Transit Department will study potential expansion of the existing free MARY
neighborhood circulator into this area. Staff will develop cost estimates, explore routing
options and work with local community stakeholders on a potentially revised route that
enhances service to this community.
Phoenix’s four neighborhood circulator routes operate as free services. All other transit
services (local bus, RAPID, Express, light rail, Dial-a-Ride) require a fare to help fund
transit services. As Phoenix partners with the Regional Public Transportation Authority
(RPTA) and its member cities and the county to provide Valley Metro-branded bus
service across the region, consistent fares are charged by both Phoenix and RPTA to
provide a seamless customer experience. Additionally, in a typical year, total regional
Page 21
transit fare revenues amount to approximately $65 million, with Phoenix’s share at
nearly $40 million. Without this operating revenue source, other sources of revenue
would be needed, or transit service would need to be reduced a commensurate
amount.
Carnegie Library
The Carnegie Library and Park, located at the southwest corner of 10th Avenue and
Washington Street, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974,
and designated by the City Council as an historic Landmark (HP-L Overlay Zoning) in
2004. The library itself was constructed in 1907 and was the first library in Phoenix,
continuing as the City’s main library for 44 years. In 1984 the City of Phoenix agreed to
lease the site to the State of Arizona, through the Arizona Legislative Council of the
Arizona State Legislature, on condition that the State renovate, maintain, and operate
the building and grounds in a manner that preserves the historical qualities and design
features, at the State’s sole expense. The State’s use of the site must be for library or
museum-related public purposes. The lease term was an initial 50 years, ending
August 31, 2034, with two 25-year renewal options. The State has used the site for
various library or museum-related purposes, but the library building is presently
vacant. Numerous organizations have expressed interest in the library building, and
any use by a third party requires an agreement with the State consistent with the lease
provisions, as well as written consent from the City. The State and City could conduct a
competitive process to determine the proposer and use that best fullfills the lease
terms and historical significance of the site. Alternatively, the City and State could
agree to terminate the lease and the City could conduct its own competitive process. In
that case, the City would take back responsibility for the library and funding would
need to be identified for a thorough facility assessment, to make any required repairs
and for ongoing operating costs of the library.
Community Center at 75th Ave & Van Buren
Currently, there are no plans or funding for a new community or recreation center in
the area of 75th Ave and Van Buren. This area however is currently served by
approximately five City of Phoenix parks within a three mile radius, and a multi-
generational community center at Desert West Park located at 67th Avenue & Encanto
is 3.9 miles away. Desert West Community Center offers programming for youth,
teens, adults and seniors. It is the hub of the award winning PHXteens program and
includes an indoor gym and classrooms. It features outdoor tennis, mini pitch soccer,
basketball, hard court volleyball, sand volleyball, racquetball and bike polo courts. The
park itself features an urban fishing lake, soccer complex, softball complex, a fitPHX
walking path and the Desert West Skatepark. In addition, the following five parks are
within three miles of 75th Ave and Van Buren:
Page 22
· 2.7 miles El Oso Park 75th Ave & Osborn
· 2.9 miles Desert Star Park 85th Ave & Encanto
· 2.9 miles Starlight Park 78th Ave & Osborn
· 2.9 miles Santa Maria Park 71st Ave & Lower Buckeye
· 3.0 miles Sun Ridge Park 63rd & Roosevelt
Staff estimates the cost to build a new community center at this location would be
approximately $2.0M to $2.5M and ongoing operating expenses are estimated at
$300K - $400K per year. Resources are not currently available in the budget and
would need to be identified for both the design and construction of the community
center as well as ongoing operating expenses.
Drug Addiction Rehabilitation Center
The City does not currently provide drug rehabilitation services or centers in the
community. The City may look into the possibility of providing this service in the future
if directed by City Council to determine if providing these services would be legally
permissible, including any licensing requirements, and financially feasible.
Additional Information
The proposed balanced 2021-22 GF budget is $1,607.6M. This is a $182M increase or
12.8% from the adopted 2020-21 GF Budget of $1,425.6M. The increase accounts for
the additions mentioned earlier in this report and increases in capital pay-as-you-go
projects, employee pension costs, and an increase in the contingency fund to maintain
4% of GF operating expenditures. Projected GF revenue in 2021-22 is estimated to be
$1,355.8M and represents an increase of $32.9M or 2.5% over the 2020-21 Revised
Estimate of $1,322.9M, excluding one-time revenues of $109.2M from the Council
approved transfer from the Coronavirus Relief Fund to offset public safety salaries as
permitted by the Federal guidelines. Growth in 2021-22 reflects anticipated increases
in city and state sales taxes and state-shared vehicle license taxes, this growth is
offset by estimated declines in state-shared income tax revenues, which is based on
collections from two years prior. This decline is due to the State's action to delay
income tax filings in the last quarter of FY2019-20 in response to the COVID-19
pandemic. Schedule 2 included in this report provides more information on City
revenue estimates and additional information can be found on the Budget and
Research website at https://www.phoenix.gov/budgetphoenix.gov/budget. Total GF
resources for FY 2021-22 are estimated at $1,607.6M and includes the estimated
beginning fund balance of $244.7M (largely made up of one-time funds discussed
earlier in this report), estimated revenue of $1,355.8M and fund transfers and
recoveries estimated at $7.1M.
Page 23
For all funds, which includes General, Enterprise and Special Revenue funds such as
grants, and all debt service and pay-as-you-go capital costs, the proposed 2021-22
budget is $5,214.4M. Included in this proposed budget amount is $416M allocated to
the City by the Federal government in the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Details
on the 2021-22 proposed budget for all City funds is attached to this report in
Schedules 1-11 and include:
· Resources and expenditures by Fund for 2019-20 actual; 2020-21 estimate; and
2021-22 proposed budget.
· Proposed revenues for all City funds by major source.
· Proposed operating expenditures by department, including fund source.
· Proposed debt service by program, source of funds, and expense type.
· Preliminary 2021-22 Capital Improvement Program budget financed by operating
funds.
· Proposed interfund transfers.
· Proposed full-time equivalent (FTE) positions by department.
· Preliminary 2021-22 Capital Improvement Program resources and expenditures by
capital fund, program and fund source.
· Summary of proposed property tax levy and rate information. The levy is anticipated
to grow due to growth in assessed property valuations, however as described below
in this report the combined property tax rate is proposed to drop by $0.01 from
$2.13 to $2.12.
Next Steps
The City Manager's Budget presented on May 4, 2021 is for information and
discussion only. The Council and public will have two weeks to review and comment
on the proposal. Council action is scheduled for May 18, 2021. Following the Council
budget action on May 18, both the City Charter and State law require subsequent
public notification, advertising, and City Council actions. The May 18 Council action
provides staff with direction and sufficient time to prepare the required legal
publications for the following actions:
Date Event
June 2, 2021 2021-22 Tentative Budget Ordinance Adoption
June 16, 2021 2021-22 Funding Plan and Final Budget Ordinance Adoption
July 1, 2021 2021-22 Property Tax Levy Ordinance Adoption
On July 1, 2021 City Council is scheduled to adopt property tax as the last step in the
legally required budget adoption process. Primary property tax revenues support
Page 24
operating costs for General Fund programs and services, while secondary property
taxes pay the bonded debt service for facilities like libraries, police and fire stations,
storm drains and parks. The total combined primary and secondary property tax rate
for FY2021-22 of $2.12 represents a one-cent (or 0.6%) reduction from the 2020-21
combined rate of $2.13. The proposed primary property tax rate for FY2021-22 of
$1.31 will remain unchanged and is consistent with City Council policy to maximize the
primary rate within City Charter Limits. If approved, the secondary property tax rate will
drop one-cent from $0.82 to $0.81. Although the primary property tax rate remains
constant, the primary property tax levy increases for FY 2021-22 to $191.3M, which is
$11.4M or 4% more than the FY 2020-21 revenue estimate of $179.9M due to
increasing net assessed valuations (property values) and new construction.
Additionally, State law requires a Truth in Taxation hearing notice to property owners,
which requires notification any time the average primary property tax bill increases,
even if the tax rate is not increased. The law does not require notice on the City’s
secondary property tax. The hearing is scheduled to take place at the City Council
Formal meeting on June 16, 2021.

reflected in this report.
Summary
The GF revised projected surplus for FY 2021-22 is $154.8M. Due to the leadership of
the City Council over the past year, it represents a remarkable turnaround from the
budget of 2020-21 when we instituted hiring freezes to prevent COVID related deficits.
The surplus is available for negotiated employee compensation increases and
additions to programs and services in several important categories. The surplus is
largely made up of $98M in one-time funds and a newly revised $56.8M in ongoing
resources. One-time funds represent resources from the Council approved transfer of
funding from the Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) to offset public safety salaries as
permitted by the Federal guidelines. Ongoing resources represent primarily anticipated
growth in revenues for next fiscal year. Proposed Budget additions, including changes
from the Trial Budget as a result of community input, are summarized below and more
detailed explanations are provided in Attachment A (GF Proposed Additions) and
Attachment B (Non-GF Proposed Additions). Community input on the budget is also
summarized in this report. Additionally, all resident comments received on the budget
and the youtube videos of all 14 virtual budget hearings are available on the Budget &
Research website at https://www.phoenix.gov/budget. This report also includes
Page 5
explanations of items not included in the proposed budget, but commented on by the
public, as well as detailed schedules on the 2021-22 proposed budget for all City funds
(Schedules 1 - 11).
Proposed Changes and Additions to the City Manager's Budget
As presented, the City Manager's (CM) Proposed Budget includes several
recommendations that continue to move the City forward in addressing critical
community priorities and ensuring our most important asset, our employees, are fairly
compensated for the outstanding work they do for the community. The 2021-22 Trial
Budget presented to City Council and the community on March 16, 2021 has been
revised to account for resident feedback. Changes are identified in this report as
*NEW* and are included in Attachments A and B. The following is a summary list of
the proposed changes:
· Build and set-aside operating funds for three new neighborhood Parks in the
Southwest area of Phoenix, which can be built with impact fees.
· Maintenance at the Highline Canal.
· Additional staff for the Pueblo Grande Museum.
· Resources for advancement of Fast Track City initiatives to promote AIDS
awareness and prevention.
· A City Navigator for Veterans' services.
· Additional funding for the City's Adaptive Reuse Program.
· Additional staff to properly maintain City cemeteries.
· Additional staff in the Water Department (non-general funded from Water Services)
to implement recommendations from the Water Conservation Ad Hoc Committee.
Including the above changes to the proposed budget from community input, GF
priorities include the following recommended increases totaling $154.8M by category
and are summarized below:
· Negotiated Employee Compensation Increases (Ongoing and One-time) - $118.3M
· Public Safety Reform & Responsiveness - $20.5M
· COVID Relief & Resiliency - $2.6M
· Climate Change & Heat Readiness - $2.8M
· Affordable Housing & Homelessness - $2.8M
· Building Community & Responding to Growth - $4.7M
· Administrative Accountability - $3.1M
The proposed Trial Budget also includes additions of $4.3M for Non-GF Departments
Page 6
including Water, Planning and Development, Solid Waste and Streets Transportation.
Information on proposed Non-GF budget additions are summarized in this report and
detailed in Attachment B.
Proposed General Fund Additions - $154.8M and 318.2 positions
Below is a summary by category of the proposed GF additions to the 2021-22 City
Manager's Budget. Detailed information about each supplemental by department is
provided in Attachment A.
Employee Compensation - $118.3M
The City continues to negotiate with labor units on the development of labor contracts
for FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23. Current labor contracts expire June 30, 2021.
Based on available resources, service needs and the Five-Year GF Forecast presented
to Council on February 23, 2021, the City is proposing to allocate 76 percent or
$118.3M of the total GF Surplus to address employee compensation. Three of the five
union contracts have been ratified and approved by the City Council.
Public Safety Reform & Responsiveness - $20.5M and 226.9 positions
The Mayor, City Council and residents have expressed the need for more
accountability, responsiveness, transparency and trust from public safety programs.
The spending proposals in this category will help to accomplish improved trust and
service delivery from our public safety departments. Primary in this category is
additional resources for a bold investment of $15M towards expanding an existing
civilian only program for responding to mental and behavioral health calls for service.
Mental and Behavioral Health Calls for Service: Community members, first responders
and mental health professionals have all identified the need for enhanced mental
health and crisis response support in Phoenix. Vulnerable communities including
children and the elderly, individuals experiencing abuse, poverty and homelessness,
residents with behavioral and mental health disorders or people with alcohol and drug
dependencies all require additional support. In order to bridge this gap and to improve
service delivery to individuals contacting 911 experiencing behavioral and mental
health issues or in need of emergency crisis response, the City has proposed adding
resources to the Community Assistance Program (CAP).
The plan includes increasing the number of crisis response units to a total of 10 and
establishing nine new behavioral health units across the city based on where the
highest concentration of calls are received. The concept is to create an effective City of
Phoenix behavioral and mental health crisis response program where multiple City
departments work alongside non-profit organizations and the behavioral health
Page 7
community to improve the quality of life for residents in need. The proposed model
also recommends expanding the existing city contract with IMD medical group to offer
telemedicine services to residents who are experiencing comorbidities, where both a
mental and behavioral health problem exists along with a medical issue. This on call
medical platform would be accessible to the CAP program 24/7 and provide access to
licensed medical professionals who can access the Health Information Exchange
(HIE). The program would also seek to establish a contract for a public-private
partnership with a behavioral healthcare provider to create a comprehensive model
where individuals will receive both immediate service from the CAP units and be
connected to additional services through the contracted provider.
The proposed solution would accomplish several goals including:
· Increase behavioral health resources to the community by focusing on timely
immediate response to individuals in need.
· Crisis de-escalation and appropriate civilian trained response to improve
relationships in the community with public safety.
· Prevent criminalizing behavioral health issues and unnecessarily incarcerating
and/or hospitalizing individuals with mental illness.
· Provide alternate behavioral health care and connect community members in crisis
through a coordinated system-wide collaborative approach.
· Avoid duplicating behavioral health services.
· Outreach and connection to long term case management services to reduce repeat
calls to 911.
· Access to licensed medical professionals where needed to improve service
outcomes.
· Return PPD and PFD first responders to core public safety emergency incidents.
· Better use of taxpayer resources.
Implementation of a new behavioral and mental health program is a heavy lift. For this
reason, the City has proposed the program be started within the Fire Department by
leveraging the already successful CAP, which has been in existence since 1995,
however has been under-resourced and unable to meet community demands. The
program currently responds to mental and behavioral health calls for service and is
managed by licensed civilian professionals in social work and counseling. Full
implementation of the enhanced program is anticipated to take 18-24 months, and
once fully operational the program is estimated to cost $15M based on analysis
conducted by the Budget & Research Department. Once the program is fully
operational, further analysis will be conducted to determine if budgetary savings have
been realized to the City. If resources are freed up in the Police and/or Fire
Departments which results in budgetary savings, the City Council can allocate those
Page 8
resources as it deems appropriate based on actual data and experience for the
program.
A significant number of public comments were given on the proposed model at the
virtual budget hearings. It is clear a program that relieves police officers of being first
responders to mental and behavioral crisis situations where possible is supported.
There were questions and criticisms of the potential structure, including its assignment
in the Fire Department; an expressed desire for more money to be allocated and to
take that money directly from the Police Department; questions about potential
communication with federal ICE officials; and an expressed desire for community
involvement in the program design and implementation. In response to this feedback,
during the implementation phase the City plans to seek input from the community and
mental and behavioral health stakeholders to ensure the program meets the needs of
all. Staff also plans to engage independent experts to conduct thorough process
mapping, best practices identification, community engagement, performance
measures, and the scope of the behavioral health unit Request for Proposal. At full
completion this program could transition from the Fire Department to either its own
function or be incorporated within the Human Services Department as part of a crisis
response division which would include the Family Advocacy Center. In terms of ICE, as
explained at the budget hearings, civilian employees (like CAP) do not call ICE when
providing services. The Police Department only calls ICE when a person is arrested,
booked into jail, or given a citation in lieu of detention. If a CAP call turns into a
situation requiring police intervention, and there is an arrest, citation or booking, only
then would ICE be involved according to current policy and state law.
Other proposed additions in this category include:
· Human Services Department ($90K) - a new Victim Services Caseworker III (1) to
serve as a navigator to services for relatives of decedents and juveniles as a result
of officer involved shootings or in custody deaths. This was a recommendation of
the Traumatic Incident Ad Hoc Committee.
· Fire Department ($800K) - In addition to the above CAP expansion for mental
health calls for service, staff recommends adding (15) civilian positions for
paramedic trainers (3), radio technicians (2) and 911 Dispatchers (10).
· Municipal Court ($350K) - additional staff (5) to provide operational support at the
new Maricopa County Intake, Transfer and Release facility (2) and to properly staff
the Orders of Protection Office (3).
· Police Department ($3.7M) - proposed funding to add civilian staff (75) to improve
accountability, transparency and relationships with the community. The Phoenix
Police Department is down over 300 civilian positions since the Great Recession
Page 9
and several functions struggle to meet service demands. The recommended civilian
positions will be used to: improve turnaround time for public records requests (15);
add staff to ensure data reporting compliance with the National Incident-Based
Reporting System (34); funding for positions (4) to manage a new Early
Identification & Intervention System (EIIS), which was recommended in 2019 by
community stakeholders, Arizona State University and City leadership. The system
is intended to use date analytics to proactively identify trends and intervene prior to
an employee's adverse actions; continue with the plan to civilianize the Central
Booking Detail (22) which is a more cost effective way to perform the administrative
booking function; and add $500k for a GF set-aside for Police reform to improve
community trust, and provide a comprehensive review of the Phoenix Police
department. This review will include a thorough evaluation of practices and policies,
actively solicit stakeholder and community feedback and provide recommendations
for improvement.
· Street Transportation Department ($600K) - funding for projects included in the
comprehensive Roadway Safety Action Plan approved by Council on March 2.
COVID Response & Resiliency - $2.6M and 7 positions
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented numerous challenges for the City concerning
protecting the public and employees during the pandemic. These efforts have included
consultation with medical experts to guide decision making in how to navigate the
pandemic, continuing service delivery remotely and/or implementing spatial distancing
measures, providing food assistance, providing mobile outreach and wifi services to
the community and quickly moving to virtual information technology platforms to
accommodate teleworking and video conferencing. Proposed additions are included in
the budget to provide services and to add staff to ensure the City not only continues to
responsibly navigate the pandemic, but also to provide these service enhancements
and information technology benefits going forward. Additions include:
· City Manager's Office ($150K) - add funding to continue the contract for expert
medical and public health consultation.
· Office of Environmental Programs ($300K) - add a Program Manager (1) and
funding to continue the Emergency Food Assistance Program and to achieve the
goals of the Council approved 2025 Phoenix Food Action Plan.
· Information Technology Department ($1.7M) - Add staff (3) and managed contract
services to support the technology deployed due to the pandemic for teleworking,
new wifi locations, and video conferencing. Funds are also requested to ensure IT
security for projects arising from the pandemic including the new PHX 311 and
Learning Management Systems.
· Library Department ($200K) - add funding to continue mobile service for the "Mifi"
Page 10
hotspot program, online programming and remote outreach, and laptop support.
· Public Works Department ($200K) - add positions (3) to staff the appointment
counter in City Hall and Calvin C. Goode. This counter has been well received by
the public and offers a streamlined way to make appointments with various City
departments.
Climate Change & Heat Readiness - $2.8M and 14.0 positions
Negative impacts from climate change and increasing Phoenix temperatures call for
strategies to address negative impacts to air quality from pollutants and carbon
emissions. The growing hazard of urban heat to the public, particularly vulnerable
populations such as the homeless, require a forward thinking approach to provide for a
sustainable environment for City residents. Proposed additions in this category
include establishing a new Office of Heat Response and Mitigation, provide additional
resources and staff to achieve the goals of the 2010 Tree and Shade Master Plan,
increase staff for the Energy System Inspection Program in the Fire Department and
add funding for conducting greenhouse gas emissions inventories and to assist with
implementing the City's newly created Climate Action Plan. Additions include:
· City Manager's Office ($500K) - add staff (4) to create a new Office of Heat
Response and Mitigation. This includes a Tree and Shade Administrator
recommended by the Environmental Quality and Sustainability Commission.
· Fire Department ($0) - add civilian staff (5) and equipment to support the Solar
Energy Inspection Program. Costs of this addition are offset by increased revenues
receive by the City for solar energy system inspections resulting in a net zero
increase to the GF.
· Office of Environmental Programs ($200K) - add funding to conduct green house
gas emissions inventories and provide modeling and analysis regarding air quality.
· Parks Department ($600K) - add an additional Forestry crew (5) to plant additional
trees in City parks, and provide funding to update the tree inventory and database.
The City Council approved the Tree and Shade Master Plan in 2010 with the goal to
double the shade canopy by 2030. The additional staff and an accurate tree
inventory and database will help to accomplish this goal.
· Streets Transportation Department ($1.5M) - add funding to the Cool Corridors
Program, which was developed to align with the Tree and Shade Master Plan to
assist with planting 200 trees per mile for a total of 1,800 new trees planted across
nine project areas, one in each Council district and citywide.
*NEW* Affordable Housing & Homelessness - $2.8M and 4.0 positions
The City of Phoenix has a lack of affordable housing and a growing homeless
population in need of assistance. The City Council approved a Housing Phoenix Plan
Page 11
in 2020 and recently the Homeless Strategies Plan to find solutions specifically to
identify funding to increase and improve affordable housing units as well as to
leverage federal funding and work with community partners to help the homeless.
Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the homeless population in the
downtown area and the Hatcher Road area of Sunnyslope, requiring additional
cleanings in these areas for waste removal, trash pickup and sanitization. The
proposed additions listed below will assist with achieving the critical mission of
increasing affordable housing and helping the homeless. Additions in this category
include:
· Housing Department ($1.6M) - *NEW* add a Special Projects Administrator (1) (this
position was previously a Project Manager in the Trial Budget) to coordinate the
RFP process and contract management for development of affordable or mixed
income housing on City-owned land and to conduct community outreach. Add one-
time funding of $1.4M for infrastructure improvements at Sante Fe Springs
affordable apartment homes.
· Human Services Department ($175K) - add positions (2) to create a homeless
advocate workforce specialist and administrative support to help the homeless find
employment to achieve self sufficiency and to ensure compliance with federal

provide sidewalk and right-of-way cleanups at the Human Services Campus in the
downtown area and the Hatcher Road area of Sunnyslope.
*NEW* Building Community & Responding to Growth - $4.7M and 39.3 positions
This category proposes multiple additions across several City departments with the
intent to provide targeted economic development opportunities for the West region of
the City, to expand the successful College Depot Program for our younger residents,
increase funding for the Arts and Historic Preservation, provide for adequate floodplain
management, add funding for landscape management due to recently completed
capital projects, and address the need for more resources due to growth and demand
for city amenities and services. *NEW* resident feedback included a desire for more
parks in the Southwest region of the city, a dedicated Veterans Advocate position,
resources for maintenance of the Highline Canal, staff for Pueblo Grande Museum,

connection to services for our residents who are veterans of the military.
· Library Department ($200K) - add positions (2) to expand the College Depot
Program to provide increased outreach and more assistance to prepare students for
high school equivalency testing and college entrance exam testing. The additional
resources would also increase the number of high school students who can be
assigned to an advisor in the program to ensure a successful transition to college.
· Office of Arts & Culture ($200K) - add funding for additional community arts grants,
increase opportunities to engage youth in arts programs, provide training to art

art programming around the city at libraries, community centers and cultural
centers.
· Parks and Recreation Department ($2.9M) - add full-time and part-time positions
(29.3) to support growing needs at various parks and recreation centers, including
the new Cesar Chavez Community Center scheduled to open in the Fall 2021,

Council and community-initiated projects and priorities. The team will devote
significant time to Rio Reimagined, leading the development of a plan with the
vision, goals, policies and strategies that guide the future growth, redevelopment
and preservation along the banks of the Salt River. The Planning team will work
with the Mayor and Council and community, along with multiple City departments,
consultants and other partners to establish a Rio Reimagined Plan that provides a
Page 13
foundation for future actions and investments, including sustainable land use, heat
mitigation, diverse housing options, economic development and other important
programs. Funding is also included for historic preservation grants to assist
homeowners with maintaining their historic properties. *NEW* increase funding from
$25K to $30K for the successful Adaptive Reuse Program to revitalize existing
buildings, and help small businesses and neighborhoods.
· Public Works Department ($100K) - add a position for Floodplain Management (1)
to ensure compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program and the
Community Rating System, which provides discounts to residents for the rising cost
of flood insurance.
· Streets Transportation Department ($150K) - add contracted services to provide for
increased landscape management and litter removal along the Grand Canal Phase
II and the Avenida Rio Salado areas, and add a position in the Central Records
Division (1) to assist with the increasing number of requests for public records
relating to the City's right-of-way, street infrastructure, traffic services and storm
drains. The cost of this position is assessed to capital projects and non-GF
departments resulting in a net zero cost addition to the GF.
Administrative Accountability - $3.1M and 27.0 positions
As the City continues to become more diverse and grow in both population and
demand for services, additional resources are needed for a variety of departments for
operational and administration purposes. It is also important the City foster and
promote a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment to both live and work for
residents and employees. Proposed additions will provide for timely, effective and high
quality service delivery in areas concerning city elections, public records requests,
contract management, information technology, human resources, legal services, fiscal
support, and to increase funding for maintenance of the City's aging fleet of vehicles.
Resources will also be used to develop a new Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
· City Manager's Office ($270K) - add positions (2) to establish the Office of Diversity
Equity and Inclusion (DEI) to ensure the City is both a place to work and live which
promotes equitable and respectful treatment of all people.
· City Clerk Department ($300K) - provide funding for contracted services to develop
an implementation plan for upgrading, enhancing and creating new platforms for
election services to ensure continued transparency and engagement in City
elections.
· Communications Office ($100K) - add a position to the Public Records Request
Division (1) to process increasing requests for public information.
· Human Resources Department ($400K) - add positions (3) for human resource
related procurement activities, data analytics to provide more robust reporting to
Page 14
foster business process improvements and data driven decision making, and
conduct internal investigations into employee misconduct.
· Information Technology Department ($1.3M) - add positions (3) and funding for
managed services to sustain technology infrastructure and remediate vulnerabilities
to protect City systems and applications from ever evolving security threats.
· Law Department ($0) - add positions (2) by converting existing funding for
contracted paralegal services for civil litigation support. The department expects in-
sourcing of paralegal services to result in a higher quality of legal research, writing
and investigations. This is a net zero cost to the GF.
· Library Department ($400K) - add positions (3) for information technology support
of library applications and systems and for accounting and fiscal support. The
increase in virtual programming and applications requires appropriate technology
support and the department does not currently have enough resources for
accounting and fiscal related duties.
· Parks and Recreation Department ($200K) - add positions (2) for information
technology desktop and application support. The number of computers, applications
and systems has grown and requires additional positions to ensure functionality.
· Public Works Department ($130K) - restore and add positions (11) for the Fleet
Services Division (10) and human resources support for the Solid Waste Division
(1). Fleet Services is in need of additional positions to adequately maintain the
City's fleet of vehicles. The division is responsible for maintaining 7,000+ units and
assists City departments with procurement of new vehicles. The division is currently
under resourced and is not capable of providing the needed maintenance on the
City's aging and diverse fleet. The cost estimate of $130K for the GF accounts for
savings from reducing outside labor and charges to non-general fund customer
departments. This addition also adds one new human resources position to be paid
for by the Non-GF Solid Waste Division of Public Works (identified under the Non-
GF proposed additions listed below).
Position Conversions to Maintain Services - $0 and 29.5 positions
The Trial Budget includes converting 29.5 GF temporary positions to ongoing status.
Funding for these positions has been identified in each respective department's
existing operating budget and therefore represent a no-cost addition to the GF. The
position conversions are requested because the duties of each position are no longer
temporary in nature and are necessary to maintain existing service levels. A list of GF
position conversions by department is detailed in Attachment A.
Proposed Non-General Fund Additions - $4.3M and 28.0 positions
The City budget is made up of three fund sources: the General Fund, Enterprise Funds
and Other Restricted Funds. Recommendations for the General Fund were discussed
Page 15
above. Enterprise Funds include Aviation, Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste and the
Convention Center. These funds, with the exception of the Convention Center, are
funded with user fees. The Convention Center includes fees paid by those who use the
facility and Convention Center parking garages and certain earmarked sales tax
categories. Enterprise funds can only be used for costs directly associated with
delivering enterprise services. The Restricted Funds category includes federal and
state grants, gas taxes (AHUR), debt service, the Development Services Fund, the
Public Safety Specialty Funds, the Phoenix Parks and Preserve Initiative (PPPI) and
the voter-approved Transportation 2050 Fund. These funds can only be used in
accordance with grant and other statutory rules.
Total Non-GF proposed additions are summarized below by category. Detailed
information about each supplemental by department is provided in Attachment B.
Below, is a summary of the Non-GF additions:
*NEW* Climate Change & Heat Readiness - $724K and 5.0 positions

additions).
Building Community & Responding to Growth - $3.5M and 20.0 positions
Proposed Non GF additions are included to add resources to support growth in
Development Services, Solid Waste and Street Transportation. These additions are
necessary for plan reviews, inspections, information technology and human resource
needs, records management, solid waste refuse and disposal management, street
cleaning and GIS services.
· Planning and Development Department ($950K) - add positions (10) for residential
and commercial plan reviews necessary due to significant increases experienced
caused by moving to electronic plan reviews (6), new positions for accounting and
technology support are required due to the new KIVA permitting system and to
adequately maintain the departments IT assets (2), higher incidents of non-
permitted construction activity requires more resources for processing citations and
preparing court documents (1), the new Remote Inspections Program implemented
Page 16
in the spring of 2020 has been successful and requires a dedicated staff member to
adequately maintain the program (1).
· Solid Waste ($2.1M) - add positions (5) for residential refuse and recycling
collection necessary due to household growth (4), increased funding for a position
at the SR85 Landfill needed due to citywide growth in solid waste tonnage and to
maintain adequate staffing levels (1).
· Streets Transportation Department ($400K) - add positions (5) to be funded by the
Arizona Highway User Revenue Fund (AHUR) for geographic information systems
(GIS) support necessary for the accelerated pavement maintenance program and to
support the workload necessary for the land base system due to growth in
development activity (2), restore supervisory positions for preventative street
maintenance and cleaning (2), and add a position for the Field Operations
Administration section to manage incoming requests from the public for street
services (1).
Administrative Accountability - $100K and 0 positions
· Solid Waste ($100K) - add funding for a position to reside in the GF for human
resources support necessary for recruitment and employee training and discipline.
The position will be in the Public Works Department (identified earlier in this report
under the GF section for proposed additions) and charged to the Solid Waste Fund.
Position Conversions to Maintain Services - $0 and 21.0 positions
The Trial Budget includes converting 21.0 Non-GF temporary positions to ongoing
status. Funding for these positions has been identified in each respective department's
existing operating budget and therefore represent a no-cost addition. The position
conversions are requested because the duties of each position are no longer
temporary in nature and are necessary to maintain existing service levels. A list of Non
-GF position conversions by department is detailed in Attachment B.

Residents also provided feedback on several topics not included as proposed
increases to the 2021-22 budget. For the below topics, residents spoke either in favor
of additional resources to develop, expand or continue the items or requested more
information be provided by City staff, below is an explanation of each item:
PHXBizConnect by HUUB
Due to COVID-19, City Council approved allocating $500K from the Coronavirus Relief
Funds for PHXBizConnect to serve as a resource for small businesses impacted by
the pandemic. The platform has been very successful and hundreds of small
businesses in the community have used it to connect to resources and networking
opportunities. Several residents expressed a desire to continue funding this successful
program. As a result, staff plans to request Council approval to include this program in
the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Strategic Plan under the "Phoenix Business
and Employee Assistance Programs" category.
Streets Projects - 3rd & 5th Avenues and Hidalgo & 19th Avenue
The Street Transportation Department’s 3rd and 5th Avenues North project is a bicycle
and pedestrian improvement project located along 3rd Avenue between McDowell
Road and Muhammad Ali Way (just north of Thomas Road) and along 5th Avenue
between McDowell Road and Thomas Road. Project improvements will include two-
way protected bicycle lanes along 3rd Avenue, a bicycle lane on 5th Avenue, curb
Page 20
ramps, streetlights, traffic signals, pedestrian improvements, and pavement mill and
overlay. The project design is currently at 60 percent, and is anticipated to be
completed in Fall 2021. There is anticipated right-of-way and easement acquisition
required for the new improvements and the earliest time-frame for construction is
summer of 2022. The current estimated construction cost is $5.5M. Based on the
current design schedule, Streets will review this project for inclusion in the
Department’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) in the Fall 2021. It should be noted
that during the annual CIP update process in late 2020, due to COVID related impacts
to Department revenue forecasts, the Street Transportation Department reduced its
five-year CIP by nearly $40 million. Due to these reductions, existing budgeted
projects were delayed and annual programs were reduced; therefore, there was no
capacity to add new projects to the CIP.
The Street Transportation Department will also replace missing trees and install an
irrigation system in the medians on Hidalgo Avenue between 20th Avenue and
Southern Avenue. The work will include installing a new water meter, underground
directional boring to connect the medians with irrigation sleeving, installing a new
irrigation system, and planting 30 trees. This project is anticipated to take
approximately two months to complete and will cost approximately $60K. The funding
is already included in the department's budget.
Transit Services in the Southwest Phoenix Area
In the Southwest Phoenix area bus service improvements have included extending
service hours on weekdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Future transit improvement
plans for the Southwest Phoenix area include extending routes on 43rd Avenue, 67th
Avenue, 75th Avenue, 83rd Avenue, Lower Buckeye Road, Broadway Road, and
Southern Avenue and the addition of new routes on 91st Avenue, 99th Avenue, and
Dobbins Road. In response to public input seeking to address transit service needs in
the area south of Interstate 10 to Van Buren Street, between 59th and 67th Avenues,
the Public Transit Department will study potential expansion of the existing free MARY
neighborhood circulator into this area. Staff will develop cost estimates, explore routing
options and work with local community stakeholders on a potentially revised route that
enhances service to this community.
Phoenix’s four neighborhood circulator routes operate as free services. All other transit
services (local bus, RAPID, Express, light rail, Dial-a-Ride) require a fare to help fund
transit services. As Phoenix partners with the Regional Public Transportation Authority
(RPTA) and its member cities and the county to provide Valley Metro-branded bus
service across the region, consistent fares are charged by both Phoenix and RPTA to
provide a seamless customer experience. Additionally, in a typical year, total regional
Page 21
transit fare revenues amount to approximately $65 million, with Phoenix’s share at
nearly $40 million. Without this operating revenue source, other sources of revenue
would be needed, or transit service would need to be reduced a commensurate
amount.
Carnegie Library
The Carnegie Library and Park, located at the southwest corner of 10th Avenue and
Washington Street, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974,
and designated by the City Council as an historic Landmark (HP-L Overlay Zoning) in
2004. The library itself was constructed in 1907 and was the first library in Phoenix,
continuing as the City’s main library for 44 years. In 1984 the City of Phoenix agreed to
lease the site to the State of Arizona, through the Arizona Legislative Council of the
Arizona State Legislature, on condition that the State renovate, maintain, and operate
the building and grounds in a manner that preserves the historical qualities and design
features, at the State’s sole expense. The State’s use of the site must be for library or
museum-related public purposes. The lease term was an initial 50 years, ending
August 31, 2034, with two 25-year renewal options. The State has used the site for
various library or museum-related purposes, but the library building is presently
vacant. Numerous organizations have expressed interest in the library building, and
any use by a third party requires an agreement with the State consistent with the lease
provisions, as well as written consent from the City. The State and City could conduct a
competitive process to determine the proposer and use that best fullfills the lease
terms and historical significance of the site. Alternatively, the City and State could
agree to terminate the lease and the City could conduct its own competitive process. In
that case, the City would take back responsibility for the library and funding would
need to be identified for a thorough facility assessment, to make any required repairs
and for ongoing operating costs of the library.
Community Center at 75th Ave & Van Buren
Currently, there are no plans or funding for a new community or recreation center in
the area of 75th Ave and Van Buren. This area however is currently served by
approximately five City of Phoenix parks within a three mile radius, and a multi-
generational community center at Desert West Park located at 67th Avenue & Encanto
is 3.9 miles away. Desert West Community Center offers programming for youth,
teens, adults and seniors. It is the hub of the award winning PHXteens program and
includes an indoor gym and classrooms. It features outdoor tennis, mini pitch soccer,
basketball, hard court volleyball, sand volleyball, racquetball and bike polo courts. The
park itself features an urban fishing lake, soccer complex, softball complex, a fitPHX
walking path and the Desert West Skatepark. In addition, the following five parks are
within three miles of 75th Ave and Van Buren:
Page 22
· 2.7 miles El Oso Park 75th Ave & Osborn
· 2.9 miles Desert Star Park 85th Ave & Encanto
· 2.9 miles Starlight Park 78th Ave & Osborn
· 2.9 miles Santa Maria Park 71st Ave & Lower Buckeye
· 3.0 miles Sun Ridge Park 63rd & Roosevelt
Staff estimates the cost to build a new community center at this location would be
approximately $2.0M to $2.5M and ongoing operating expenses are estimated at
$300K - $400K per year. Resources are not currently available in the budget and
would need to be identified for both the design and construction of the community
center as well as ongoing operating expenses.
Drug Addiction Rehabilitation Center
The City does not currently provide drug rehabilitation services or centers in the
community. The City may look into the possibility of providing this service in the future
if directed by City Council to determine if providing these services would be legally
permissible, including any licensing requirements, and financially feasible.
Additional Information
The proposed balanced 2021-22 GF budget is $1,607.6M. This is a $182M increase or
12.8% from the adopted 2020-21 GF Budget of $1,425.6M. The increase accounts for
the additions mentioned earlier in this report and increases in capital pay-as-you-go
projects, employee pension costs, and an increase in the contingency fund to maintain
4% of GF operating expenditures. Projected GF revenue in 2021-22 is estimated to be
$1,355.8M and represents an increase of $32.9M or 2.5% over the 2020-21 Revised
Estimate of $1,322.9M, excluding one-time revenues of $109.2M from the Council
approved transfer from the Coronavirus Relief Fund to offset public safety salaries as
permitted by the Federal guidelines. Growth in 2021-22 reflects anticipated increases
in city and state sales taxes and state-shared vehicle license taxes, this growth is
offset by estimated declines in state-shared income tax revenues, which is based on
collections from two years prior. This decline is due to the State's action to delay
income tax filings in the last quarter of FY2019-20 in response to the COVID-19
pandemic. Schedule 2 included in this report provides more information on City
revenue estimates and additional information can be found on the Budget and
Research website at https://www.phoenix.gov/budgetphoenix.gov/budget. Total GF
resources for FY 2021-22 are estimated at $1,607.6M and includes the estimated
beginning fund balance of $244.7M (largely made up of one-time funds discussed
earlier in this report), estimated revenue of $1,355.8M and fund transfers and
recoveries estimated at $7.1M.
Page 23
For all funds, which includes General, Enterprise and Special Revenue funds such as
grants, and all debt service and pay-as-you-go capital costs, the proposed 2021-22
budget is $5,214.4M. Included in this proposed budget amount is $416M allocated to
the City by the Federal government in the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Details
on the 2021-22 proposed budget for all City funds is attached to this report in
Schedules 1-11 and include:
· Resources and expenditures by Fund for 2019-20 actual; 2020-21 estimate; and
2021-22 proposed budget.
· Proposed revenues for all City funds by major source.
· Proposed operating expenditures by department, including fund source.
· Proposed debt service by program, source of funds, and expense type.
· Preliminary 2021-22 Capital Improvement Program budget financed by operating
funds.
· Proposed interfund transfers.
· Proposed full-time equivalent (FTE) positions by department.
· Preliminary 2021-22 Capital Improvement Program resources and expenditures by
capital fund, program and fund source.
· Summary of proposed property tax levy and rate information. The levy is anticipated
to grow due to growth in assessed property valuations, however as described below
in this report the combined property tax rate is proposed to drop by $0.01 from
$2.13 to $2.12.
Next Steps
The City Manager's Budget presented on May 4, 2021 is for information and
discussion only. The Council and public will have two weeks to review and comment
on the proposal. Council action is scheduled for May 18, 2021. Following the Council
budget action on May 18, both the City Charter and State law require subsequent
public notification, advertising, and City Council actions. The May 18 Council action
provides staff with direction and sufficient time to prepare the required legal
publications for the following actions:
Date Event
June 2, 2021 2021-22 Tentative Budget Ordinance Adoption
June 16, 2021 2021-22 Funding Plan and Final Budget Ordinance Adoption
July 1, 2021 2021-22 Property Tax Levy Ordinance Adoption
On July 1, 2021 City Council is scheduled to adopt property tax as the last step in the
legally required budget adoption process. Primary property tax revenues support
Page 24
operating costs for General Fund programs and services, while secondary property
taxes pay the bonded debt service for facilities like libraries, police and fire stations,
storm drains and parks. The total combined primary and secondary property tax rate
for FY2021-22 of $2.12 represents a one-cent (or 0.6%) reduction from the 2020-21
combined rate of $2.13. The proposed primary property tax rate for FY2021-22 of
$1.31 will remain unchanged and is consistent with City Council policy to maximize the
primary rate within City Charter Limits. If approved, the secondary property tax rate will
drop one-cent from $0.82 to $0.81. Although the primary property tax rate remains
constant, the primary property tax levy increases for FY 2021-22 to $191.3M, which is
$11.4M or 4% more than the FY 2020-21 revenue estimate of $179.9M due to
increasing net assessed valuations (property values) and new construction.
Additionally, State law requires a Truth in Taxation hearing notice to property owners,
which requires notification any time the average primary property tax bill increases,
even if the tax rate is not increased. The law does not require notice on the City’s
secondary property tax. The hearing is scheduled to take place at the City Council
Formal meeting on June 16, 2021.
