Item text
This report transmits a balanced budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24. Following the
presentation of the Trial Budget on March 21, 2023, 12 Community Budget Hearings
held April 3 through April 15, 2023, and a presentation of the City Manager's Proposed
Budget on May 2, 2023, staff recommends approval of the FY 2023-24 budget.
THIS ITEM IS FOR DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION.
The FY 2023-24 City Manager's Proposed Budget presented to City Council on May 2,
2023, included a General Fund (GF) surplus of $134 million. No changes have been
made to the projected surplus or to the proposed supplemental additions. As
presented, it was proposed to allocate $114 million of the surplus for employee
compensation increases, to address retention and hiring challenges occurring in all
City departments. Additionally, agreements have been negotiated with labor groups,
and approved by City Council on May 3, 2023, for next fiscal year. The proposed
budget accounts for the negotiated employee compensation increases. The remaining
$20 million GF surplus is proposed to be allocated to add programs and services for
the community, totaling $15 million, and to increase the contingency fund by $5 million
to ensure resources are available in the event of an economic downturn. In keeping
with the important practice of engaging the community on the proposed budget, during
the month of April staff solicited feedback at 12 community budget hearings, via the
FundPHX interactive budget tool, and received comments via phone and email directly
to the Budget and Research Department. This feedback from residents was taken into
consideration and changes to the proposed budget are reflected in this report.
Summary
Due to the leadership of the City Council and the strategic use of resources, the $134
million GF surplus represents a solid financial standing for the upcoming fiscal year.
Phoenix is an economic leader in the country due to strong job and population growth,
along with a diversified employment and business sector. However, there is reason to
be cautious as we look forward due to continuing high inflation, actions by the Federal
Reserve that may impact the economy, softening of the labor market, and credit
tightening in the banking industry, all of which has caused economic experts to predict
a recession or slowdown in 2023. The FY 2023-24 Trial Budget proposed to reserve
Page 5
$1 million for potential changes resulting from community feedback. Based on resident
input over the past several weeks, the City Manager's Proposed Budget presented on
May 2, 2023 recommended allocating the $1 million to community priorities. The
proposed changes to the Trial Budget and additions to the FY 2023-24 Budget are
included and summarized in this report.
The proposed FY 2023-24 GF supplementals totaling $134 million are detailed in
Attachment A. Also included are proposed FY 2023-24 Non-GF supplementals
totaling $1.5 million, detailed below and in Attachment B. No changes have been
made to the proposed additions.This report also includes detailed schedules on the FY
2023-24 Proposed Budget for all City funds (Schedules 1-11).
Community Feedback on the FY 2023-24 Proposed Budget
Resident input was solicited at 12 community budget hearings held between April 3,
2023, and April 15, 2023. Residents also provided feedback online using the FundPHX
tool, and comments were received directly to the Budget and Research Department

Proposed Changes and Additions to the City Manager's Budget
As presented, the City Manager's Proposed Budget includes several strategic
recommendations that represent investments for the future of Phoenix by addressing
community priorities, and provides resources needed to offer competitive employee
compensation. Proposed use of the available $134 million GF surplus includes
supplemental program additions totaling $15 million and includes changes from the
Page 8
Trial Budget of $1 million previously reserved for resident feedback. Additionally, $114
million is proposed for employee compensation increases, to account for the
negotiated labor increases for next fiscal year and includes a $20 million set-aside for
potential future increases. Finally, $5 million is included for the GF Contingency Fund
necessary to achieve 4.5 percent of operating expenses.
Changes to the FY 2023-24 Trial Budget based on community input are identified in
this report as *NEW* and are included in Attachment A and B.
The following is a summary list of the $1 million in proposed GF changes
recommended based on community input:
· Community Arts Grants - increase proposed grant funding from $125,000 to
$250,000.
· Cricket - $250,000 to provide additional cricket field locations and to explore
development of partnerships to expand more sites in the future.
· Park Repairs - add $125,000 for additional maintenance at Sueño Park and other
park sites in the City.
· Phoenix Day Early Childhood Education Center - one-time funding of $250,000 to
support affordable child care and early education services.
· Street Cleaning - one-time funding of $100,000 to purchase a street sweeper
dedicated for bike lanes, and $150,000 to clean and remove debris in up to three
additional washes annually and to clean-up medians.
Including the above changes to the proposed budget, recommendations for GF
supplemental additions in FY 2023-24 total $134 million and focus on critical City
Council and community priorities including:
· Employee Compensation Increases - $114 million
· Continuity of Services for Vulnerable Populations - $7.6 million
· Enhanced Public Safety Responsiveness and Criminal Justice Support - $3.8
million
· Healthy Neighborhoods and Community Enrichment - $3.6 million
· Contingency Funds - $5 million
Proposed Non-GF supplementals are summarized below and detailed in Attachment
B, no changes have been made to what was presented on May 2, 2023.
Page 9
Proposed FY 2023-24 General Fund Additions - $134 million and 114.0 positions
Below is a summary highlighting proposed GF additions by City Council priority area.
Detailed information about each supplemental, including the number of positions and
dollar amount by department, is provided in Attachment A.
Employee Compensation - $114 million
The City is experiencing significant vacancies across all departments due to a
combination of the competitive labor market and below-market salaries for many job
classifications. The current vacancy rate as of March 2023 for all City funds is 17
percent. Vacancies can impact service delivery to residents and cause existing
employees to carry the burden for unfilled positions. It is for this reason that the
proposed GF budget allocates 85 percent of the surplus, or $114 million, to increase
employee compensation. This amount includes $20 million to be set-aside for potential
employee compensation increases in FY 2024-25 and beyond. Additionally, the
Human Resources Department will be implementing the results from the Classification
and Compensation study in FY 2023-24 in an effort to fill vacant positions and retain
existing employees. Estimated costs for implementing the Class & Comp study have
been accounted for in the projected expenditures for FY 2023-24 for all City funds.
*NEW* Continuity of Services for Vulnerable Populations - $7.6 million and 0.0
positions
To ensure vulnerable populations can continue receiving vital services at risk due to
expiring or reduced funding, $7.6 million is proposed to support the Low-Income Home
Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), the Victims of Crime Act, and to expand the
Behavioral Health Engagement Teams contract. These programs are essential in the
continuation of outreach to areas of the City experiencing high instances of substance
abuse, behavioral health issues and homelessness, as well as managing domestic
violence and sexual assault referrals while maintaining acceptable response times.
The funds proposed would also expand the PHX Community Action Response
Engagement Services (C.A.R.E.S.) Outreach Program and continue operations at
several shelters across the City. Additional funding and partnerships with the state,
county and non-profit organizations are being actively pursued to increase
collaboration and resources to help individuals experiencing homelessness. *NEW* In
addition, one-time funding of $250,000 is proposed for the New Leaf Phoenix Day
Early Childhood Education Center to retain and expand teaching staff and provide
additional training opportunities. The center provides affordable day care and early
education opportunities to a diverse and inclusive population. The center in on pace to
increase enrollment and achieve financial sustainability by 2024.
Page 10
Enhanced Public Safety Responsiveness and Criminal Justice Support - $3.8 million
and 88.0 positions
The services, programs and positions reflected in this area are dedicated to ensure
public safety response is appropriate, efficient and seamless. To help improve
emergency response times across the City, an investment of $3.5 million is proposed
for the Phoenix Fire Department to add 31 new sworn positions to fully staff a new Fire
Station 74 to be located at 19th Avenue and Chandler Boulevard, and to hire additional
firefighters and support staff. In addition, as part of the Phoenix Police Department’s
focus on civilization efforts, new positions are included for civilian investigators and
police assistants within the department. Additional positions are also included for crime
scene specialists, police research analysts, criminal intelligence analysts, and civilian
law enforcement training specialists. These additions will provide support to the
investigative process, training and civilian response. All new positions for the Police
Department will be absorbed within the existing operating budget for the Police
Department, using sworn position savings and therefore require no additional costs for
FY 2023-24. However, over time as vacancies are filled, additional budget capacity will
be required in a future fiscal year. This category also includes conversion of expiring
grant fund positions in the Law Department to the GF to assist victims of crime with
navigating the judicial system, and six additional positions in Law that will be offset
with Police vacancy savings for next fiscal year to facilitate and coordinate immediate
and ongoing needs related to the Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation.
*NEW* Healthy Neighborhoods and Community Enrichment - $3.6 million and 26.0
positions
The services, programs and positions reflected in this area will enhance the City’s
ability to develop and maintain healthy, vibrant and safe neighborhoods throughout the
city. A proposed $571,000 for the Neighborhood Services Department would add
funding to expand the Gated Alley Program, providing for a total of 77 gated alley
segments each fiscal year, and restore two grant-funded Neighborhood Inspector
positions. By restoring these two positions, the department can provide more grant-
funded opportunities to low and moderate income residents. *NEW* Additional funding
of $125,000 for the Community Arts Grants Program is included in the Trial Budget to
increase the City’s efforts toward equity in arts, for a total of $250,000 to support
renters at Herberger Theater Center and other local venues such as the Black Theatre
Troupe, Phoenix Center for the Arts’ Third Street Theater, Phoenix Theatre, and Valley
Youth Theatre. A Project Manager position is also included to help manage and
coordinate the Office of Arts and Culture’s model for involving artists in designing and
building a better city. The cost of this position will be offset by charging various Capital
Improvement Projects. Also, in an effort to increase park security and resident safety,
$2 million is proposed for the Parks and Recreation Department to hire 14 Park
Rangers and one Park Manager position to create a third-shift for Park Rangers. The
Page 11
addition of a third-shift will provide coverage 24 hours per day, seven days per week at
City parks. The proposed funds will also add five staff to expand tree planting and
shade canopy efforts Citywide and hire a Volunteer Coordinator to assist in the
coordination of volunteer efforts throughout City parks. *NEW* Additional funding for
the Parks and Recreation Department is proposed totaling $250,000 to create cricket
field opportunities at up to three locations and to explore development of partnerships
to expand more sites in the future, and $125,000 for improvements at Sueño Park
located at 4401 W. Encanto Blvd., and other park sites around the city. Resources are
also proposed for two new Municipal Security Guards for the Library Department to
provide additional security at City libraries at a cost of $130,000. *NEW* Finally,
additional funding of $100,000 is proposed to purchase a street sweeper dedicated to
cleaning bike lanes, and $150,000 for maintenance of three additional washes per
year and clean medians.
Proposed FY 2023-24 Non-General Fund Additions - $1.5 million and 8.0
positions
The City budget is made up of three fund sources: the General Fund, Enterprise
Funds, and Special Revenue Funds. Recommendations for the General Fund were
discussed 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 Special Revenue Funds category includes federal
and state grants, gas taxes (Arizona Highway User Revenues or AHUR), debt service,
the Development Services Fund, Public Safety Specialty Funds, Phoenix Parks and
Preserve Initiative (PPPI) and voter-approved Transportation 2050 Fund. These funds
can only be used in accordance with grant and other statutory rules.
Non-GF proposed additions total $1.5 million and include 13.8 positions. Detailed
information about each supplemental, including the number of positions and dollar
amount by department, is provided in Attachment B. Below is a summary of the Non-
GF additions, which includes adding resources to the Public Transit Department for
bus stop cleaning requested by residents:
Aviation (Enterprise Fund) - $0.9 million and 2.0 positions
Additions for the Aviation Department include $917,000 for two new Airport Security
Access Agents to provide security badging services and funding to purchase 10 new
vehicles for the Airport Police Bureau.
Page 12
Planning and Development (Special Revenue Fund) - $0.5 million and 5.0 positions
To support the growing online presence of SHAPE PHX and administrative needs,
$489,000 is proposed for the Planning and Development Department. The funds would
add three positions needed to manage SHAPE PHX, a transformative technology that
replaces numerous, highly customized legacy software systems with a consolidated,
secure, transparent and modern, land-based planning application. Funds would also
add a Chief Engineering Technician and Senior Human Resources Aide to assist the
department.
*NEW* Public Transit (Special Revenue Fund) - $0.05 million and 0.0 positions
Increase funding for clean-up, removal of debris and overall maintenance of bus stops.
This funding will enable additional services through multiple existing contracts to
include bus stop cleaning, repairs, landscaping and other improvements.
Regional Wireless Cooperative (Special Revenue Fund) - $0.05 million and 1.0
position
Add one full-time equivalent Accountant I position to the Regional Wireless
Cooperative (RWC) office to support the administrative and accounting responsibilities
of the Very High Frequency (VHF) Conventional Radio Network. This position was
approved by the RWC Board of Directors on Dec. 1, 2022.
GF and Non-GF Position Conversions to Maintain Services - $0.0 and 62.8
positions
The proposed City Manager's Budget includes converting 57.0 GF and 5.8 Non-GF
existing temporary positions to ongoing status. These positions provide critical and
sometimes legally or statutorily required administrative support for City departments.
Funding for these positions has been identified and programmed in each respective
department's operating budget and therefore represent a no-cost conversion.
FY 2023-24 GF City Manager's Budget Status
The proposed balanced FY 2023-24 GF budget is $2,028.7 million. This is a $249.2
million increase or 14.0 percent from the adopted FY 2022-23 GF Budget of $1,779.4
million. The increase accounts for the proposed additions detailed earlier in this report
and higher costs associated with employee salaries and fringe benefits, including
health insurance and pension, increased costs for vehicle replacements and Fire
apparatus, cost increases in capital equipment and expected pay-as-you-go projects,
estimated costs for implementation of the classification and compensation study, and a
higher contingency amount to achieve 4.5 percent of operating costs. Inflation has also
dramatically impacted several expenditure categories including commodities and
contractuals such as fuel, compressed natural gas, electricity, motor vehicle parts,
plumbing supplies, custodial and security services, machinery and equipment repair,
Page 13
and facility maintenance costs.
The increase also accounts for higher costs for public safety pensions, detailed in the
Trial Budget report and presented to City Council on March 21. Projected GF
resources are estimated at $2,028.7 million and includes the estimated beginning
balance of $204.0 million, estimated revenue of $1,830.9 million and net interfund
transfers and recoveries of -$6.3 million, which include interfund transfers for central
services, in-lieu property taxes, capital equipment and projects, debt service,
infrastructure repayment agreements, resources to support the Public Safety Specialty
Funds and Pension Reserve Fund. GF revenues of $1,830.9 million represent annual
growth of 10.3 percent over FY 2022-23 and is largely due to growth in state shared
income tax, which is based on collections from two years prior and is artificially high as
a result of the State's decision to increase the percentage share with cities and towns
from 15 to 18 percent to mitigate impacts from reducing the individual income tax rate.
Revenue growth also includes estimated increases in City and state sales taxes.
Schedule 2 included in this report provides more information about City revenue
estimates for all funds and additional information can be found on the Budget and
Research website at phoenix.gov/budget.
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 FY 2023-24
budget is $6,750.0 million. The final proposed budget reflects adjustments to account
for changes in operating costs primarily due to carryovers for capital pay-as-you-go
projects previously anticipated to occur in FY 2022-23 that will now occur in FY 2023-
24. Details on the FY 2023-24 proposed budget for all City funds is attached to this
report in Schedules 1-11 and include:
· Resources and expenditures by Fund for FY 2021-22 actual; FY 2022-23 estimate;
and FY 2023-24 proposed budget.
· Proposed revenues for all City funds by major source.
· Proposed operating expenditures by department, including fund source.

operating funds.
· Proposed interfund transfers.
· Proposed full-time equivalent (FTE) positions by department.

Additional Information
Phoenix residents requested a variety of initiatives at the recent budget hearings,
including food programs, public transportation, public Wi-Fi, heat relief programs,
affordable housing and shelters, mental health services, park repairs, education and
bicycle infrastructure. Staff determined many of the requests align with current City
goals and programs. For example, American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds are
addressing several key areas as seen in the strategic plan: Nearly $120 million is
allocated to address affordable housing and homelessness and includes 15 programs;
$52 million is allocated to neighborhood sustainability programs such as parks
programs and refugee and asylee services; over $23 million is dedicated to education
and includes Head Start expansion, tuition assistance, and Wi-Fi access; $30 million is
allocated to heat relief, including infrastructure for the unsheltered, weatherization, and
tree and shade programs; $12 million was dedicated to the 2022 Family Assistance
Resource program which provided 1,000 families assistance; $11.5 million is allocated
to address food insecurity and food assistance programs; and $10.5 million is
providing mental health and substance abuse services. Staff continue to analyze all
programs with unused, underspent, or reprioritized funding that may be used for other
ARPA eligible uses and will provide reallocation information to City Council after the
summer break.
In addition to ARPA funding, the City has several departments working on programs to
address mental health and substance abuse. The Community Assistance Program
(CAP) is a group of dedicated, professionally trained adults who provide 24-hour on-
scene crisis intervention and/or victim assistance services to residents. CAP
alternative response units respond from fire stations and other locations throughout the
greater Phoenix area, and work in partnership with the Phoenix Fire and Police
departments and social service agencies. As well, the City recently created the Office
of Public Health to work with City departments to achieve public health objectives. One
of the initial priorities of this office is to support the development of an opioid response
plan for the City as part of the One Arizona Agreement for Opioid Settlement dollars.
The City will receive a settlement of approximately $41 million over the next 18 years
to use on approved programs to address opioid related harms.
Finally, requests from residents were received for bicycle infrastructure projects, street
safety and park repairs. In response, the Street Transportation Department will
prioritize existing funding in FY 2023-24 to initiate design work on the 3rd Street, Rio
Salado to Lincoln Street Connector project. This will help ensure this project runs in
parallel with the Rio Reimagined 3rd Street Bicycle/Pedestrian Bridge project, which
was awarded a $25 million federal Rebuilding American Infrastructure with
Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grant in 2022. At several of the Citywide budget
Page 15
hearings, speakers voiced concerns about traffic speeding and safety issues along
19th Avenue, south of Dobbins Road. The Street Transportation and Police
departments have been working with community members over the past several
months to evaluate and respond. Phoenix Police has engaged in targeted enforcement
and conducted speed studies along the corridor. Street Transportation is evaluating
speed limit reductions along 19th Avenue that would allow the City to consider
additional traffic mitigation options, and staff are also developing roadway striping
options that could improve safety and help lower speeds and traffic volumes along this
section of 19th Avenue. The Parks and Recreation Department’s budget contains
funding from various sources for repairs of flatland parks and facilities. Included in the
GF proposed additions, and mentioned earlier in this report, $125,000 will be used for
improvements at Sueño Park and for other park sites. The department’s proposed FY
2023-24 budget with the additional GF supplemental includes $16.4 million allocated
for construction, renovation and repairs of park amenities and facilities.
Next Steps
The remaining key dates in this year's budget process are as follows:
Date Event
May 31, 2023 FY 2023-24 Tentative Budget Ordinance Adoption
June 14, 2023 FY 2023-24 Funding Plan and Final Budget Ordinance Adoption
July 3, 2023 FY 2023-24 Property Tax Levy Ordinance Adoption
On July 3, 2023, City Council is scheduled to adopt property tax as the last step in the
legally required budget adoption process. Primary property tax revenues support
operating costs for GF 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 FY 2023-24, of
$2.0992, represents a 0.7 percent reduction from the FY 2022-23 combined rate of
$2.1130. The proposed primary property tax rate for FY 2023-24, of $1.2851, is one
percent lower than the FY 2022-23 primary property tax rate of $1.2989, and is
consistent with City Council policy to maximize the primary rate within City Charter
Limits. The primary property tax rate decreased due to the state constitutional two
percent levy limit, which limits the Primary Property Tax of a city, county or community
college district to an amount two percent greater than the prior-year levy on previously-
taxed properties. The secondary property tax rate remains unchanged at $0.8141.
Although the primary property tax rate decreased by one percent, the primary property
tax revenue estimate increases for FY 2023-24 to $206.9 million, which is $6.7 million
or 3.4 percent more than the FY 2022-23 revenue estimate of $200.2 million, due to
Page 16
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 14, 2023.

presentation of the Trial Budget on March 21, 2023, 12 Community Budget Hearings
held April 3 through April 15, 2023, and a presentation of the City Manager's Proposed
Budget on May 2, 2023, staff recommends approval of the FY 2023-24 budget.
THIS ITEM IS FOR DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION.
The FY 2023-24 City Manager's Proposed Budget presented to City Council on May 2,
2023, included a General Fund (GF) surplus of $134 million. No changes have been
made to the projected surplus or to the proposed supplemental additions. As
presented, it was proposed to allocate $114 million of the surplus for employee
compensation increases, to address retention and hiring challenges occurring in all
City departments. Additionally, agreements have been negotiated with labor groups,
and approved by City Council on May 3, 2023, for next fiscal year. The proposed
budget accounts for the negotiated employee compensation increases. The remaining
$20 million GF surplus is proposed to be allocated to add programs and services for
the community, totaling $15 million, and to increase the contingency fund by $5 million
to ensure resources are available in the event of an economic downturn. In keeping
with the important practice of engaging the community on the proposed budget, during
the month of April staff solicited feedback at 12 community budget hearings, via the
FundPHX interactive budget tool, and received comments via phone and email directly
to the Budget and Research Department. This feedback from residents was taken into
consideration and changes to the proposed budget are reflected in this report.
Summary
Due to the leadership of the City Council and the strategic use of resources, the $134
million GF surplus represents a solid financial standing for the upcoming fiscal year.
Phoenix is an economic leader in the country due to strong job and population growth,
along with a diversified employment and business sector. However, there is reason to
be cautious as we look forward due to continuing high inflation, actions by the Federal
Reserve that may impact the economy, softening of the labor market, and credit
tightening in the banking industry, all of which has caused economic experts to predict
a recession or slowdown in 2023. The FY 2023-24 Trial Budget proposed to reserve
Page 5
$1 million for potential changes resulting from community feedback. Based on resident
input over the past several weeks, the City Manager's Proposed Budget presented on
May 2, 2023 recommended allocating the $1 million to community priorities. The
proposed changes to the Trial Budget and additions to the FY 2023-24 Budget are
included and summarized in this report.
The proposed FY 2023-24 GF supplementals totaling $134 million are detailed in
Attachment A. Also included are proposed FY 2023-24 Non-GF supplementals
totaling $1.5 million, detailed below and in Attachment B. No changes have been
made to the proposed additions.This report also includes detailed schedules on the FY
2023-24 Proposed Budget for all City funds (Schedules 1-11).
Community Feedback on the FY 2023-24 Proposed Budget
Resident input was solicited at 12 community budget hearings held between April 3,
2023, and April 15, 2023. Residents also provided feedback online using the FundPHX
tool, and comments were received directly to the Budget and Research Department
via email and voicemail. In total, between March 1, 2023, and May 5, 2023, staff
received 720 comments from 362 individuals on the Proposed Budget. Several
residents commented multiple times on the same topic. A summary of the number of

Proposed Changes and Additions to the City Manager's Budget
As presented, the City Manager's Proposed Budget includes several strategic
recommendations that represent investments for the future of Phoenix by addressing
community priorities, and provides resources needed to offer competitive employee
compensation. Proposed use of the available $134 million GF surplus includes
supplemental program additions totaling $15 million and includes changes from the
Page 8
Trial Budget of $1 million previously reserved for resident feedback. Additionally, $114
million is proposed for employee compensation increases, to account for the
negotiated labor increases for next fiscal year and includes a $20 million set-aside for
potential future increases. Finally, $5 million is included for the GF Contingency Fund
necessary to achieve 4.5 percent of operating expenses.
Changes to the FY 2023-24 Trial Budget based on community input are identified in
this report as *NEW* and are included in Attachment A and B.
The following is a summary list of the $1 million in proposed GF changes
recommended based on community input:
· Community Arts Grants - increase proposed grant funding from $125,000 to
$250,000.
· Cricket - $250,000 to provide additional cricket field locations and to explore
development of partnerships to expand more sites in the future.
· Park Repairs - add $125,000 for additional maintenance at Sueño Park and other
park sites in the City.
· Phoenix Day Early Childhood Education Center - one-time funding of $250,000 to
support affordable child care and early education services.
· Street Cleaning - one-time funding of $100,000 to purchase a street sweeper
dedicated for bike lanes, and $150,000 to clean and remove debris in up to three
additional washes annually and to clean-up medians.
Including the above changes to the proposed budget, recommendations for GF
supplemental additions in FY 2023-24 total $134 million and focus on critical City
Council and community priorities including:
· Employee Compensation Increases - $114 million
· Continuity of Services for Vulnerable Populations - $7.6 million
· Enhanced Public Safety Responsiveness and Criminal Justice Support - $3.8
million
· Healthy Neighborhoods and Community Enrichment - $3.6 million
· Contingency Funds - $5 million
Proposed Non-GF supplementals are summarized below and detailed in Attachment
B, no changes have been made to what was presented on May 2, 2023.
Page 9
Proposed FY 2023-24 General Fund Additions - $134 million and 114.0 positions
Below is a summary highlighting proposed GF additions by City Council priority area.
Detailed information about each supplemental, including the number of positions and
dollar amount by department, is provided in Attachment A.
Employee Compensation - $114 million
The City is experiencing significant vacancies across all departments due to a
combination of the competitive labor market and below-market salaries for many job
classifications. The current vacancy rate as of March 2023 for all City funds is 17
percent. Vacancies can impact service delivery to residents and cause existing
employees to carry the burden for unfilled positions. It is for this reason that the
proposed GF budget allocates 85 percent of the surplus, or $114 million, to increase
employee compensation. This amount includes $20 million to be set-aside for potential
employee compensation increases in FY 2024-25 and beyond. Additionally, the
Human Resources Department will be implementing the results from the Classification
and Compensation study in FY 2023-24 in an effort to fill vacant positions and retain
existing employees. Estimated costs for implementing the Class & Comp study have
been accounted for in the projected expenditures for FY 2023-24 for all City funds.
*NEW* Continuity of Services for Vulnerable Populations - $7.6 million and 0.0
positions
To ensure vulnerable populations can continue receiving vital services at risk due to
expiring or reduced funding, $7.6 million is proposed to support the Low-Income Home
Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), the Victims of Crime Act, and to expand the
Behavioral Health Engagement Teams contract. These programs are essential in the
continuation of outreach to areas of the City experiencing high instances of substance
abuse, behavioral health issues and homelessness, as well as managing domestic
violence and sexual assault referrals while maintaining acceptable response times.
The funds proposed would also expand the PHX Community Action Response
Engagement Services (C.A.R.E.S.) Outreach Program and continue operations at
several shelters across the City. Additional funding and partnerships with the state,
county and non-profit organizations are being actively pursued to increase
collaboration and resources to help individuals experiencing homelessness. *NEW* In
addition, one-time funding of $250,000 is proposed for the New Leaf Phoenix Day
Early Childhood Education Center to retain and expand teaching staff and provide
additional training opportunities. The center provides affordable day care and early
education opportunities to a diverse and inclusive population. The center in on pace to
increase enrollment and achieve financial sustainability by 2024.
Page 10
Enhanced Public Safety Responsiveness and Criminal Justice Support - $3.8 million
and 88.0 positions
The services, programs and positions reflected in this area are dedicated to ensure
public safety response is appropriate, efficient and seamless. To help improve
emergency response times across the City, an investment of $3.5 million is proposed
for the Phoenix Fire Department to add 31 new sworn positions to fully staff a new Fire
Station 74 to be located at 19th Avenue and Chandler Boulevard, and to hire additional
firefighters and support staff. In addition, as part of the Phoenix Police Department’s
focus on civilization efforts, new positions are included for civilian investigators and
police assistants within the department. Additional positions are also included for crime
scene specialists, police research analysts, criminal intelligence analysts, and civilian
law enforcement training specialists. These additions will provide support to the
investigative process, training and civilian response. All new positions for the Police
Department will be absorbed within the existing operating budget for the Police
Department, using sworn position savings and therefore require no additional costs for
FY 2023-24. However, over time as vacancies are filled, additional budget capacity will
be required in a future fiscal year. This category also includes conversion of expiring
grant fund positions in the Law Department to the GF to assist victims of crime with
navigating the judicial system, and six additional positions in Law that will be offset
with Police vacancy savings for next fiscal year to facilitate and coordinate immediate
and ongoing needs related to the Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation.
*NEW* Healthy Neighborhoods and Community Enrichment - $3.6 million and 26.0
positions
The services, programs and positions reflected in this area will enhance the City’s
ability to develop and maintain healthy, vibrant and safe neighborhoods throughout the
city. A proposed $571,000 for the Neighborhood Services Department would add
funding to expand the Gated Alley Program, providing for a total of 77 gated alley
segments each fiscal year, and restore two grant-funded Neighborhood Inspector
positions. By restoring these two positions, the department can provide more grant-
funded opportunities to low and moderate income residents. *NEW* Additional funding
of $125,000 for the Community Arts Grants Program is included in the Trial Budget to
increase the City’s efforts toward equity in arts, for a total of $250,000 to support
renters at Herberger Theater Center and other local venues such as the Black Theatre
Troupe, Phoenix Center for the Arts’ Third Street Theater, Phoenix Theatre, and Valley
Youth Theatre. A Project Manager position is also included to help manage and
coordinate the Office of Arts and Culture’s model for involving artists in designing and
building a better city. The cost of this position will be offset by charging various Capital
Improvement Projects. Also, in an effort to increase park security and resident safety,
$2 million is proposed for the Parks and Recreation Department to hire 14 Park
Rangers and one Park Manager position to create a third-shift for Park Rangers. The
Page 11
addition of a third-shift will provide coverage 24 hours per day, seven days per week at
City parks. The proposed funds will also add five staff to expand tree planting and
shade canopy efforts Citywide and hire a Volunteer Coordinator to assist in the
coordination of volunteer efforts throughout City parks. *NEW* Additional funding for
the Parks and Recreation Department is proposed totaling $250,000 to create cricket
field opportunities at up to three locations and to explore development of partnerships
to expand more sites in the future, and $125,000 for improvements at Sueño Park
located at 4401 W. Encanto Blvd., and other park sites around the city. Resources are
also proposed for two new Municipal Security Guards for the Library Department to
provide additional security at City libraries at a cost of $130,000. *NEW* Finally,
additional funding of $100,000 is proposed to purchase a street sweeper dedicated to
cleaning bike lanes, and $150,000 for maintenance of three additional washes per
year and clean medians.
Proposed FY 2023-24 Non-General Fund Additions - $1.5 million and 8.0
positions
The City budget is made up of three fund sources: the General Fund, Enterprise
Funds, and Special Revenue Funds. Recommendations for the General Fund were
discussed 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 Special Revenue Funds category includes federal
and state grants, gas taxes (Arizona Highway User Revenues or AHUR), debt service,
the Development Services Fund, Public Safety Specialty Funds, Phoenix Parks and
Preserve Initiative (PPPI) and voter-approved Transportation 2050 Fund. These funds
can only be used in accordance with grant and other statutory rules.
Non-GF proposed additions total $1.5 million and include 13.8 positions. Detailed
information about each supplemental, including the number of positions and dollar
amount by department, is provided in Attachment B. Below is a summary of the Non-
GF additions, which includes adding resources to the Public Transit Department for
bus stop cleaning requested by residents:
Aviation (Enterprise Fund) - $0.9 million and 2.0 positions
Additions for the Aviation Department include $917,000 for two new Airport Security
Access Agents to provide security badging services and funding to purchase 10 new
vehicles for the Airport Police Bureau.
Page 12
Planning and Development (Special Revenue Fund) - $0.5 million and 5.0 positions
To support the growing online presence of SHAPE PHX and administrative needs,
$489,000 is proposed for the Planning and Development Department. The funds would
add three positions needed to manage SHAPE PHX, a transformative technology that
replaces numerous, highly customized legacy software systems with a consolidated,
secure, transparent and modern, land-based planning application. Funds would also
add a Chief Engineering Technician and Senior Human Resources Aide to assist the
department.
*NEW* Public Transit (Special Revenue Fund) - $0.05 million and 0.0 positions
Increase funding for clean-up, removal of debris and overall maintenance of bus stops.
This funding will enable additional services through multiple existing contracts to
include bus stop cleaning, repairs, landscaping and other improvements.
Regional Wireless Cooperative (Special Revenue Fund) - $0.05 million and 1.0
position
Add one full-time equivalent Accountant I position to the Regional Wireless
Cooperative (RWC) office to support the administrative and accounting responsibilities
of the Very High Frequency (VHF) Conventional Radio Network. This position was
approved by the RWC Board of Directors on Dec. 1, 2022.
GF and Non-GF Position Conversions to Maintain Services - $0.0 and 62.8
positions
The proposed City Manager's Budget includes converting 57.0 GF and 5.8 Non-GF
existing temporary positions to ongoing status. These positions provide critical and
sometimes legally or statutorily required administrative support for City departments.
Funding for these positions has been identified and programmed in each respective
department's operating budget and therefore represent a no-cost conversion.
FY 2023-24 GF City Manager's Budget Status
The proposed balanced FY 2023-24 GF budget is $2,028.7 million. This is a $249.2
million increase or 14.0 percent from the adopted FY 2022-23 GF Budget of $1,779.4
million. The increase accounts for the proposed additions detailed earlier in this report
and higher costs associated with employee salaries and fringe benefits, including
health insurance and pension, increased costs for vehicle replacements and Fire
apparatus, cost increases in capital equipment and expected pay-as-you-go projects,
estimated costs for implementation of the classification and compensation study, and a
higher contingency amount to achieve 4.5 percent of operating costs. Inflation has also
dramatically impacted several expenditure categories including commodities and
contractuals such as fuel, compressed natural gas, electricity, motor vehicle parts,
plumbing supplies, custodial and security services, machinery and equipment repair,
Page 13
and facility maintenance costs.
The increase also accounts for higher costs for public safety pensions, detailed in the
Trial Budget report and presented to City Council on March 21. Projected GF
resources are estimated at $2,028.7 million and includes the estimated beginning
balance of $204.0 million, estimated revenue of $1,830.9 million and net interfund
transfers and recoveries of -$6.3 million, which include interfund transfers for central
services, in-lieu property taxes, capital equipment and projects, debt service,
infrastructure repayment agreements, resources to support the Public Safety Specialty
Funds and Pension Reserve Fund. GF revenues of $1,830.9 million represent annual
growth of 10.3 percent over FY 2022-23 and is largely due to growth in state shared
income tax, which is based on collections from two years prior and is artificially high as
a result of the State's decision to increase the percentage share with cities and towns
from 15 to 18 percent to mitigate impacts from reducing the individual income tax rate.
Revenue growth also includes estimated increases in City and state sales taxes.
Schedule 2 included in this report provides more information about City revenue
estimates for all funds and additional information can be found on the Budget and
Research website at phoenix.gov/budget.
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 FY 2023-24
budget is $6,750.0 million. The final proposed budget reflects adjustments to account
for changes in operating costs primarily due to carryovers for capital pay-as-you-go
projects previously anticipated to occur in FY 2022-23 that will now occur in FY 2023-
24. Details on the FY 2023-24 proposed budget for all City funds is attached to this
report in Schedules 1-11 and include:
· Resources and expenditures by Fund for FY 2021-22 actual; FY 2022-23 estimate;
and FY 2023-24 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 FY 2023-24 Capital Improvement Program budget financed by
operating funds.
· Proposed interfund transfers.
· Proposed full-time equivalent (FTE) positions by department.
· Preliminary FY 2023-24 Capital Improvement Program resources and expenditures
by capital fund, program and fund source.

Additional Information
Phoenix residents requested a variety of initiatives at the recent budget hearings,
including food programs, public transportation, public Wi-Fi, heat relief programs,
affordable housing and shelters, mental health services, park repairs, education and
bicycle infrastructure. Staff determined many of the requests align with current City
goals and programs. For example, American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds are
addressing several key areas as seen in the strategic plan: Nearly $120 million is
allocated to address affordable housing and homelessness and includes 15 programs;
$52 million is allocated to neighborhood sustainability programs such as parks
programs and refugee and asylee services; over $23 million is dedicated to education
and includes Head Start expansion, tuition assistance, and Wi-Fi access; $30 million is
allocated to heat relief, including infrastructure for the unsheltered, weatherization, and
tree and shade programs; $12 million was dedicated to the 2022 Family Assistance
Resource program which provided 1,000 families assistance; $11.5 million is allocated
to address food insecurity and food assistance programs; and $10.5 million is
providing mental health and substance abuse services. Staff continue to analyze all
programs with unused, underspent, or reprioritized funding that may be used for other
ARPA eligible uses and will provide reallocation information to City Council after the
summer break.
In addition to ARPA funding, the City has several departments working on programs to
address mental health and substance abuse. The Community Assistance Program
(CAP) is a group of dedicated, professionally trained adults who provide 24-hour on-
scene crisis intervention and/or victim assistance services to residents. CAP
alternative response units respond from fire stations and other locations throughout the
greater Phoenix area, and work in partnership with the Phoenix Fire and Police
departments and social service agencies. As well, the City recently created the Office
of Public Health to work with City departments to achieve public health objectives. One
of the initial priorities of this office is to support the development of an opioid response
plan for the City as part of the One Arizona Agreement for Opioid Settlement dollars.
The City will receive a settlement of approximately $41 million over the next 18 years
to use on approved programs to address opioid related harms.
Finally, requests from residents were received for bicycle infrastructure projects, street
safety and park repairs. In response, the Street Transportation Department will
prioritize existing funding in FY 2023-24 to initiate design work on the 3rd Street, Rio
Salado to Lincoln Street Connector project. This will help ensure this project runs in
parallel with the Rio Reimagined 3rd Street Bicycle/Pedestrian Bridge project, which
was awarded a $25 million federal Rebuilding American Infrastructure with
Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grant in 2022. At several of the Citywide budget
Page 15
hearings, speakers voiced concerns about traffic speeding and safety issues along
19th Avenue, south of Dobbins Road. The Street Transportation and Police
departments have been working with community members over the past several
months to evaluate and respond. Phoenix Police has engaged in targeted enforcement
and conducted speed studies along the corridor. Street Transportation is evaluating
speed limit reductions along 19th Avenue that would allow the City to consider
additional traffic mitigation options, and staff are also developing roadway striping
options that could improve safety and help lower speeds and traffic volumes along this
section of 19th Avenue. The Parks and Recreation Department’s budget contains
funding from various sources for repairs of flatland parks and facilities. Included in the
GF proposed additions, and mentioned earlier in this report, $125,000 will be used for
improvements at Sueño Park and for other park sites. The department’s proposed FY
2023-24 budget with the additional GF supplemental includes $16.4 million allocated
for construction, renovation and repairs of park amenities and facilities.
Next Steps
The remaining key dates in this year's budget process are as follows:
Date Event
May 31, 2023 FY 2023-24 Tentative Budget Ordinance Adoption
June 14, 2023 FY 2023-24 Funding Plan and Final Budget Ordinance Adoption
July 3, 2023 FY 2023-24 Property Tax Levy Ordinance Adoption
On July 3, 2023, City Council is scheduled to adopt property tax as the last step in the
legally required budget adoption process. Primary property tax revenues support
operating costs for GF 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 FY 2023-24, of
$2.0992, represents a 0.7 percent reduction from the FY 2022-23 combined rate of
$2.1130. The proposed primary property tax rate for FY 2023-24, of $1.2851, is one
percent lower than the FY 2022-23 primary property tax rate of $1.2989, and is
consistent with City Council policy to maximize the primary rate within City Charter
Limits. The primary property tax rate decreased due to the state constitutional two
percent levy limit, which limits the Primary Property Tax of a city, county or community
college district to an amount two percent greater than the prior-year levy on previously-
taxed properties. The secondary property tax rate remains unchanged at $0.8141.
Although the primary property tax rate decreased by one percent, the primary property
tax revenue estimate increases for FY 2023-24 to $206.9 million, which is $6.7 million
or 3.4 percent more than the FY 2022-23 revenue estimate of $200.2 million, due to
Page 16
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 14, 2023.
