Policy Session
Item text
This report transmits a balanced budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25. Following the
presentation of the Trial Budget on March 19, 2024, there were 11 Community
Budget Hearings held April 2 through April 16, 2024. As stated at the presentation of
the City Manager's Proposed Budget on May 7, 2024, staff recommends approval
of the FY 2024-25 budget.
THIS ITEM IS FOR DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION
The FY 2024-25 City Manager's Proposed Budget presented to City Council on May 7,
2024, included a General Fund (GF) one-time surplus of $80 million. No changes have
been made to the projected GF surplus or to the recommendation to set-aside the
surplus in reserve. The set-aside is recommended due to projected future deficits in FY
2025-26 and FY 2026-27 as presented to the City Council at the Feb. 27, 2024, Policy
Meeting. The future deficits are due to the state's actions to reduce the tax base as
discussed further in this report. To ensure the GF budget remains balanced and to
preserve existing programs and services for residents, it is critical the surplus remain
in the fund balance.
In keeping with the important practice of engaging the community on the proposed
budget, staff solicited feedback at 11 community budget hearings, via the FundPHX
interactive budget tool, and received comments directly to the Budget and Research
Department. The feedback from residents overall indicates support for the proposed
budget and requests for more City services in a variety of areas. This report
summarizes resident feedback and includes information on the City's efforts to address
community input in Attachment A.
Summary
The City Council has demonstrated strong fiscal leadership and Phoenix continues to
be an economic leader in the country due to diverse business and economic
opportunities, a strong job market and population growth. Over the past three fiscal
years, the City has benefited from strong revenue growth and the Council has made
strategic decisions to responsibly allocate available resources to community priorities,
and to invest in our City employees by approving competitive pay increases.
Page 5
Significant GF additions have been made over this time, totaling $365 million, to
enhance a variety of programs and services for residents, implement recommended
changes from the Classification and Compensation Study, and for negotiated labor
increases. Unfortunately, there are budget challenges ahead due to actions by the
state's legislative and executive branches to eliminate residential rental sales tax
effective January 2025 (Senate Bill 1131) and to reduce the individual income tax rate
to the current "flat tax" (Senate Bill 1828). These actions significantly reduce ongoing
GF revenues while the City faces financial pressures due to continuing inflation and
necessary compensation increases to ensure a high-quality workforce. Baseline
deficits are projected in FY 2025-26 of $(92) million, and in FY 2026-27 of $(31)
million. For these reasons, the City Manager's Proposed Budget recommends a
responsible FY 2024-25 budget that maintains existing service levels and saves the
one-time $80 million surplus to help balance the FY 2025-26 budget.
The proposed FY 2024-25 budget includes 30.0 ongoing full-time equivalent (FTE)
positions needed in the GF (28.0 FTE) and Non GFs (2.0 FTE), and represents
conversion of existing budgeted resources for critical position needs. Funding for
these positions has been identified and accounted for in department operating
budgets. Details on each position can be found in Attachment B.
This report also includes detailed schedules on the FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget for
all City funds (Schedules 1-11).
Community Feedback on the FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget
Resident input was solicited at 11 community budget hearings held between April 2,
2024, and April 16, 2024. 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, 2024, and May 7, 2024, staff
received 371 comments from 173 individuals on the Proposed Trial Budget. Several
residents commented multiple times on the same topic. A summary of resident
comments by topic is listed below, for those with more than one comment received.
Attachment A includes more information on the City's efforts to address many of the
comments received from the community.

FY 2024-25 Final Proposed Budget
The final FY 2024-25 GF budget is $2,131.8 million. This is a $103.1 million increase
or 5.1 percent from the adopted FY 2023-24 GF Budget of $2,028.7 million. The final
GF budget reflects adjustments from what was presented on May 7, 2024, to account
for carryovers totaling $32 million for capital pay-as-you-go projects made during the
final capital budget review process. The carryovers are for capital projects previously
anticipated to occur in FY 2023-24 that will now occur in FY 2024-25. The increase
from the FY 2023-24 GF budget also accounts for higher costs associated with
employee salaries and fringe benefits, including health insurance and pension
(detailed in the Multi-year Forecast presented to City Council on Feb. 27, 2024), and a
higher contingency amount to achieve 4.75 percent of operating costs. Inflation
continues to impact several expenditure categories including commodities and
contractuals such as electricity, motor vehicle parts, custodial services, machinery and
equipment repair, and facility maintenance costs.
Projected GF resources are estimated at $2,131.8 million and includes the estimated
beginning balance of $276.6 million, estimated revenue of $1,843.6 million and net
Page 8
interfund transfers and recoveries of $11.6 million, which include interfund transfers for
central services, in-lieu property taxes, debt service, infrastructure repayment
agreements, and resources to support the Public Safety Specialty Funds and Pension
Reserve Fund. GF revenues of $1,843.6 million represent annual growth of (3.1)
percent over FY 2023-24, and is largely due to a decrease in state shared income tax
based on collections from two years prior, and reflects the impact of Senate Bill (SB)
1828 which lowered the individual income tax rate to the current "flat tax" of 2.5
percent. Negative growth also accounts for the elimination of residential rental sales
tax due to SB 1131 effective January 2025. The combined negative impact to City
revenues from the state's actions is estimated at $(54) million in FY 2024-25 and $(86)
million in FY 2025-26. Revenue projections assume no further impact from the current
legislative session, and includes increases in local and state sales taxes and certain
non-tax categories. 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 2024-25
budget is $7,243.8 million. The final proposed budget reflects adjustments from what
was presented on May 7, 2024, to account for changes in operating costs due to
carryovers for capital pay-as-you-go projects previously anticipated to occur in FY
2023-24 that will now occur in FY 2024-25. Details on the FY 2024-25 proposed
budget for all City funds is attached to this report in Schedules 1-11 and include:
· Resources and expenditures by fund for FY 2022-23 actuals; FY 2023-24 estimate;
and FY 2024-25 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 2024-25 Capital Improvement Program budget financed by
operating funds.
· Proposed interfund transfers.
· Proposed full-time equivalent (FTE) positions by department.
· Preliminary FY 2024-25 Capital Improvement Program resources and expenditures
by capital fund, program and fund source.
· Summary of proposed property tax levy and rate information.
Next Steps
The remaining key dates in this year's budget process are as follows:
Page 9
Date Event
May 29, 2024 FY 2024-25 Tentative Budget Ordinance Adoption
June 12, 2024 FY 2024-25 Funding Plan and Final Budget Ordinance Adoption
July 1, 2024 FY 2024-25 Property Tax Levy Ordinance Adoption
On July 1, 2024, City Council is scheduled to adopt the 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
debt service for capital projects for General Obligation (GO) Bond Programs. Phoenix
voters recently approved the 2023 GO Bond Program that includes 47 projects and will
provide the resources needed for new parks and libraries, police and fire stations,
regional pools and splash pads, community centers, arts facility improvements, and
street and storm drain projects. More information on the 2023 GO Bond Program can
be found on our website at phoenix.gov/bond.
The total combined primary and secondary property tax rate for FY 2024-25, of
$2.0799, represents a 0.9 percent reduction from the FY 2023-24 combined rate of
$2.0992. The proposed primary property tax rate for FY 2024-25, of $1.2658, is 1.5
percent lower than the FY 2023-24 primary property tax rate of $1.2851, 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 2
percent levy limit, which limits the Primary Property Tax of a city, county or community
college district to an amount 2 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 1.5 percent, the primary property
tax revenue estimate increases for FY 2024-25 to $215.4 million, which is $7.4 million
or 3.6 percent more than the FY 2023-24 revenue estimate of $208.0 million, 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 12, 2024.

Community Feedback on the FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget
Community feedback on the proposed budget is a critical component of the
annual budget process. Input from Phoenix residents can help City Council
and departments to prioritize existing resources and to plan for the future.
Based on the feedback received, overall residents support the FY 2024-25
proposed budget. Multiple comments were received requesting additional
resources in the areas of homelessness, affordable housing, resources for
the Fire Department, street and bike improvements, accessible public water
drinking fountains and summer heat relief for vulnerable populations, and
legal support for eviction assistance. The below information highlights
efforts to date in these areas and plans for the future.
Unfortunately, due to the projected future deficits in FY 2025-26 and FY
2026-27 discussed in the City Council Report, no additional resources are
recommended for FY 2024-25. To ensure current programs and services
are preserved the one-time surplus of $80 million is proposed to be set-
aside in reserve to be available in the fund balance to help balance the FY
2025-26 General Fund (GF) budget.
Homelessness
Over the last two years the City of Phoenix has made significant
investments to address homelessness. Beginning with the creation of the
Office of Homeless Solutions (OHS) in July 2022. The City has invested
$2.8 million from the GF and has increased staff from nine in 2022 to 36
today; the majority of which are providing direct services to unsheltered
individuals and families in our community. Additionally, the City has
invested nearly $185 million over the last four years in capital projects and
homeless service operations from a variety of funding sources including
GFs, American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, Community Development
Block Grants, Emergency Solutions Grant funds and funding directly
allocated from the County and State government.
Funding has also been distributed to community partners including Central
Arizona Shelter Services (CASS) at $878,000 per year in GF support, and
$1,068,000 in ARPA funds in the current fiscal year to meet their budget
shortfalls. Additionally, close to $8 million was dedicated to capital
Page 11
improvements for the CASS Single Adult Shelter, Vista Colina Family
Shelter, and funding to convert a former hotel into a shelter that will serve
170 seniors aged 55 and over. Keys to Change (formerly the Human
Services Campus) received ARPA and other pandemic-related contracts
totaling over $8 million that resulted in the new Respiro Shelter serving 100
people nightly and in November 2023 to operate the City’s Safe Outdoor
Space, St. Vincent de Paul’s pandemic funding totaled over $13 million for
the new construction of their Ozanam Manor II shelter, which is scheduled
to open in June 2024, the operation of the City’s Washington Shelter and to
operate one of the city’s temporary lodging facilities for one year.
The majority of ARPA spending by OHS has been on capital projects,
investing in long-term facilities and infrastructure that can serve the
community for years to come. Some examples of these capital projects
include:
• The purchase of the XWing converted shipping container non
congregate shelter units.
• The renovations to create the Washington Relief Center.
• The acquisition of the 117-bed Rio Fresco Shelter.
• The construction of St. Vincent de Paul’s Ozanam Manor II.
• The acquisition of a former Super 8 hotel near I-17 and Northern to
create affordable housing for seniors.
• Renovations at the Safe Outdoor Space.
It is estimated additional GF resources will be needed to continue efforts
helping individuals experiencing homelessness upon expiration of ARPA
funding. Preliminary estimates from OHS for the ongoing GF need is $6.5
million in FY 2024-25 and $22 million in FY 2025-26. This amount is not
accounted for in the proposed budget.
Affordable Housing
The Housing Department is focused on providing our community with
affordable housing through a variety of programs and projects. Dedicated
funding for both City projects and community-focused programs ensures
the creation or preservation of affordable housing units throughout the City
of Phoenix. The Housing Department has several housing projects planned
or underway. The upcoming General Obligation (GO) Bond Program will
Page 12
provide $54.5 million to support the creation of 364 units and preservation
of an estimated 610 City-owned units. An additional $13 million in federal
HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) and ARPA funds will support the
creation of an additional 212 affordable rental units.
Funding is dedicated to support rental development projects and provide
affordable homeownership opportunities throughout the community.
Through gap financing programs, $12.3 million in HOME and ARPA funds
are being utilized to support the creation of 837 new rental units with an
additional $9 million, supporting 432 units, in planned projects. $8.2 million
of HOME-Recovery Plan Act (HOME-ARP) funds are dedicated to support
future permanent supportive rental housing projects. The Open Doors
down payment assistance and Community Land Trust programs, utilizing
$1.5 million in HOME and $5 million in APRA funds respectively, are
underway and will support an estimated 70 affordable homeownership
opportunities.
Fire Department Resources
The proposed FY 2024-25 budget includes significant resources for public
safety, including the Phoenix Fire Department (PFD). The total proposed
FY 2024-25 budget for PFD is $562 million. Between FY 2016-17 and FY
2023-24 the PFD budget has increased by 71% ($309M vs $527M). The
sworn staffing hiring target has also increased 250 positions since FY
2016-17 (1,865 vs 1,615). The 2023 voter approved GO Bond Program will
provide four additional fire stations, apparatus, and sworn personnel over
the next five years adding 118 additional sworn personnel by January
2029. This will bring the total sworn staffing increase from FY 2016-17
through FY 2028-29 to 368, or an increase of 23%.
The below table provides the PFD response times for first arriving
advanced life support (ALS) to critical emergency medical service
incidents, and first arriving engine and ladder to a fire incident compared to
the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) standard. Response times are
measured in the 90th Percentile (not averages).

Based on research and analysis by PFD, very few, if any, in the state or region meet the 5:00
minute NFPA Standard for First Arriving ALS Unit to Critical EMS Incident.
Additionally, the City Council approved $15 million in FY 2022-23 for an
additional 130.9 civilian positions for the Community Assistance Program
(CAP) to respond to behavioral and mental health calls for service allowing
sworn personnel to respond to core public safety related calls for service.
Street and Bike Improvements
The Streets Transportation Department is actively working on several items
requested by the community. The Phoenix Active Transportation Plan
(ATP) is a policy-level plan intended to implement Equitable, Safe,
Connected, and Enjoyable Streets for all. The plan includes
recommendations in three key areas: network development, policy updates
and design guidance. The Phoenix Connected Active Neighborhoods
(PhxCAN) program is a vital part of implementing the ATP's network
development element. The plan takes a community-focused approach to
enhance bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure across Phoenix, starting with
a detailed assessment of each of the city’s 15 urban villages to address
transportation safety concerns, needs and wants. The first year of the
program runs from Winter 2023 to Summer 2024 and is focusing on the
South Mountain and Central City villages, with a plan to target two villages
annually. A list of projects will be implemented within each village during a
one-to-two-year period. Engagement will be conducted at the neighborhood
level. The program is also designed to allow for implementation of quick
builds.
Residents expressed support to extend bike lanes on 3rd Street from
Roosevelt to Lincoln. Per the Street Transportation Department, the 2014
Downtown Transportation Study recommended making “3rd Street a cycle
corridor in and out of downtown”. That effort has not been completed south
of Roosevelt Street. There are plans of connecting protected bike lanes to,
and beyond, Lincoln Street down to and over the Rio Salado. Although the
Page 14
extension of the protected bike lanes south of Roosevelt was not in the
current budget, staff will be seeking Reconnecting Communities and
Neighborhoods (RCN) grant funding for this project. Staff will also pursue
other U.S. Department of Transportation grants as needed depending on
the success of the RCN grant process.
Additionally, staff is developing the “Smart Mobility Team” to manage both
the Autonomous Vehicle and Complete Streets Programs. The initial
staffing of this team will be with existing staff. Currently, the City does not
have ordinances pertaining to autonomous vehicles. Staff will be
researching autonomous vehicle developments, challenges, and future
necessary street design alterations, and will be building relationships with
the companies that operate in Phoenix.
Public Water Drinking Fountains
The Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department (PRD) is one of the largest
municipally managed parks systems in the country. Comprised of 187
parks located throughout the city, the parks system includes regional,
community, neighborhood, and mini parks as well as a variety of specialty
park areas including basins, wash areas, historic properties, and general
open space areas. Within the city parks system, there are a total of 384
drinking fountains which are accessible to the public during park hours. Of
these, 290 or 76%, provide chilled water. PRD manages 33 community and
recreation centers all of which contain drinking fountains which are publicly
accessible during operating hours. The department has a regular schedule
to assess and make repairs as necessary to ensure the availability of clean
and functional drinking water fountains for the community. Further, as
existing parks are renovated or new parks constructed, installation of
chilled water fountains is the department’s standard.
In addition to the public drinking fountains provided by the PRD, the Office
of Innovation launched a data-driven pilot in 2023 to expand equitable, free
and reliable access to chilled drinking water in public locations. Staff
partnered with the Water Services and Public Works departments and
Downtown Phoenix, Inc. The first two pilot water stations were installed in
front of City Hall, in the Marvin A. Andrews Plaza, and across Washington
Street in the Caesar Chavez Plaza. Data and research show the desire for
water stations in proximity to public buildings, public gathering spaces, and
Page 15
public transit stops. The custom-designed systems, which include heat
mitigation technologies, are currently being evaluated to inform the next
phase of the project.
Five locations are currently being considered for the next phase in
downtown Phoenix, near parks, public transit, and arts organizations.
Innovation has procured the next three units and has funding to procure
two additional units. Community and department partnerships are being
explored to support the installation costs, which vary depending on
location. The scope of a citywide initiative to expand access to chilled
drinking water will require a multi-pronged funding approach with a mix of
general funds, community partnerships, department partnerships and
grants. Innovation has applied for grant funding to support the expansion of
the program, including participating in Federal Infrastructure multi-
department applications and a Gila River Indian Community grant
opportunity.
Heat Relief Efforts
The creation of the Office of Heat Response and Mitigation in July 2021
catalyzed the City’s first comprehensive Heat Response Plan, which was
approved by City Council in spring 2022. The Heat Response Plan
presents the City’s efforts to enhance public health and community
resilience by alleviating adverse effects of heat. The Heat Response Plan
has been revised annually since 2022 and the third iteration of the Plan
was reviewed by City Council in February 2024. The 2024 Heat Response
Plan contains 39 different actions that address nine strategic priorities for
the City. Notable changes in the 2024 Plan include:
• The addition of extended hour and overnight options at City of
Phoenix Heat Relief Network locations, and implementation of an
Incident Management Team to coordinate resources and logistics for
those locations.
• The adoption of a worker safety ordinance that applies to employees
of businesses with City contracts, subcontracts, leases, subleases,
licenses, and sublicenses.
• The development of new strategies to reduce heat-health risks
among substance users, a population that accounts for nearly three-
quarters of heat-related deaths in Phoenix.
Page 16
• The creation of an expanded heat safety public education and
awareness campaign.
• The collaboration with newly created staff positions at Maricopa
County and the Arizona Department of Health Services focused on
heat response.
A major component of the City’s expanded efforts to prevent heat-related
illnesses and deaths in 2024 is the addition of extended hour and overnight
availability at five City of Phoenix Heat Relief Network locations from May 1
through September 30. A dedicated heat respite center at Burton Barr
Library will operate 24/7 through the heat season and the Senior
Opportunities West Senior Center will serve as an overnight respite
location. Both locations will be staffed with professionals with relevant
expertise to help navigate visitors toward solutions to the challenges that
brought them to the heat relief location, as well as dedicated security staff.
Additionally, three City library locations will offer extended cooling center
hours this heat season: Harmon Library, Cholla Library, and Yucca Library.
These three facilities will remain open for heat relief until 10pm each day of
the week and will have new open hours for heat relief on Sundays from
noon to 10pm. These locations will also be staffed with navigation services
and dedicated security. The five locations serving as extended hour and
overnight heat relief locations were identified based on analysis of multiple
indicators of community need as well as a rigorous assessment of the
capacity and functional capabilities of City of Phoenix facilities. The
extended hour and overnight locations are funded with ARPA resources
and grants from the Maricopa County Department of Public Health and
Arizona Department of Housing.
Tenant Eviction Assistance Program
The Tenants Eviction Assistance Project (TEAP) Program, administered
by Community Legal Services (CLS) in partnership with the City of
Phoenix Human Services Department (HSD) provides eviction
assistance for residents. Tenants are provided advice and legal counsel
regarding their specific circumstances. CLS helps to negotiate
settlements on behalf of tenants with landlords. Per HSD, since July 2020
Page 17
when the program was created over 8,000 cases have been managed
serving over 16,000 residents.
Additionally, the HSD Landlord and Tenant Program provides education
and counseling on the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant (ARLTA)
and the Arizona Mobile Home Acts to tenants and landlords through in-
person and telephonic appointments. Landlord Tenant Counselors also
respond to hundreds of calls and emails received every week through a
dedicated phone line and email. Three counselors are assigned to this
program and are currently housed in the community at the Travis L.
Williams Family Services Center. The program conducts regular
educational sessions and workshops on ARLTA and the Arizona Mobile
Home Act for community members multiple times each month. The
program is funded by the GF and Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds. In Fiscal Year 2023-24, over 8,000 total community
members are projected to receive education and counseling, with more
than 2,000 landlords and tenants meeting directly with Landlord Tenant
Counselors in person or by phone.

presentation of the Trial Budget on March 19, 2024, there were 11 Community
Budget Hearings held April 2 through April 16, 2024. As stated at the presentation of
the City Manager's Proposed Budget on May 7, 2024, staff recommends approval
of the FY 2024-25 budget.
THIS ITEM IS FOR DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION
The FY 2024-25 City Manager's Proposed Budget presented to City Council on May 7,
2024, included a General Fund (GF) one-time surplus of $80 million. No changes have
been made to the projected GF surplus or to the recommendation to set-aside the
surplus in reserve. The set-aside is recommended due to projected future deficits in FY
2025-26 and FY 2026-27 as presented to the City Council at the Feb. 27, 2024, Policy
Meeting. The future deficits are due to the state's actions to reduce the tax base as
discussed further in this report. To ensure the GF budget remains balanced and to
preserve existing programs and services for residents, it is critical the surplus remain
in the fund balance.
In keeping with the important practice of engaging the community on the proposed
budget, staff solicited feedback at 11 community budget hearings, via the FundPHX
interactive budget tool, and received comments directly to the Budget and Research
Department. The feedback from residents overall indicates support for the proposed
budget and requests for more City services in a variety of areas. This report
summarizes resident feedback and includes information on the City's efforts to address
community input in Attachment A.
Summary
The City Council has demonstrated strong fiscal leadership and Phoenix continues to
be an economic leader in the country due to diverse business and economic
opportunities, a strong job market and population growth. Over the past three fiscal
years, the City has benefited from strong revenue growth and the Council has made
strategic decisions to responsibly allocate available resources to community priorities,
and to invest in our City employees by approving competitive pay increases.
Page 5
Significant GF additions have been made over this time, totaling $365 million, to
enhance a variety of programs and services for residents, implement recommended
changes from the Classification and Compensation Study, and for negotiated labor
increases. Unfortunately, there are budget challenges ahead due to actions by the
state's legislative and executive branches to eliminate residential rental sales tax
effective January 2025 (Senate Bill 1131) and to reduce the individual income tax rate
to the current "flat tax" (Senate Bill 1828). These actions significantly reduce ongoing
GF revenues while the City faces financial pressures due to continuing inflation and
necessary compensation increases to ensure a high-quality workforce. Baseline
deficits are projected in FY 2025-26 of $(92) million, and in FY 2026-27 of $(31)
million. For these reasons, the City Manager's Proposed Budget recommends a
responsible FY 2024-25 budget that maintains existing service levels and saves the
one-time $80 million surplus to help balance the FY 2025-26 budget.
The proposed FY 2024-25 budget includes 30.0 ongoing full-time equivalent (FTE)
positions needed in the GF (28.0 FTE) and Non GFs (2.0 FTE), and represents
conversion of existing budgeted resources for critical position needs. Funding for
these positions has been identified and accounted for in department operating
budgets. Details on each position can be found in Attachment B.
This report also includes detailed schedules on the FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget for
all City funds (Schedules 1-11).
Community Feedback on the FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget
Resident input was solicited at 11 community budget hearings held between April 2,
2024, and April 16, 2024. 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, 2024, and May 7, 2024, staff
received 371 comments from 173 individuals on the Proposed Trial Budget. Several
residents commented multiple times on the same topic. A summary of resident
comments by topic is listed below, for those with more than one comment received.
Attachment A includes more information on the City's efforts to address many of the
comments received from the community.

FY 2024-25 Final Proposed Budget
The final FY 2024-25 GF budget is $2,131.8 million. This is a $103.1 million increase
or 5.1 percent from the adopted FY 2023-24 GF Budget of $2,028.7 million. The final
GF budget reflects adjustments from what was presented on May 7, 2024, to account
for carryovers totaling $32 million for capital pay-as-you-go projects made during the
final capital budget review process. The carryovers are for capital projects previously
anticipated to occur in FY 2023-24 that will now occur in FY 2024-25. The increase
from the FY 2023-24 GF budget also accounts for higher costs associated with
employee salaries and fringe benefits, including health insurance and pension
(detailed in the Multi-year Forecast presented to City Council on Feb. 27, 2024), and a
higher contingency amount to achieve 4.75 percent of operating costs. Inflation
continues to impact several expenditure categories including commodities and
contractuals such as electricity, motor vehicle parts, custodial services, machinery and
equipment repair, and facility maintenance costs.
Projected GF resources are estimated at $2,131.8 million and includes the estimated
beginning balance of $276.6 million, estimated revenue of $1,843.6 million and net
Page 8
interfund transfers and recoveries of $11.6 million, which include interfund transfers for
central services, in-lieu property taxes, debt service, infrastructure repayment
agreements, and resources to support the Public Safety Specialty Funds and Pension
Reserve Fund. GF revenues of $1,843.6 million represent annual growth of (3.1)
percent over FY 2023-24, and is largely due to a decrease in state shared income tax
based on collections from two years prior, and reflects the impact of Senate Bill (SB)
1828 which lowered the individual income tax rate to the current "flat tax" of 2.5
percent. Negative growth also accounts for the elimination of residential rental sales
tax due to SB 1131 effective January 2025. The combined negative impact to City
revenues from the state's actions is estimated at $(54) million in FY 2024-25 and $(86)
million in FY 2025-26. Revenue projections assume no further impact from the current
legislative session, and includes increases in local and state sales taxes and certain
non-tax categories. 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 2024-25
budget is $7,243.8 million. The final proposed budget reflects adjustments from what
was presented on May 7, 2024, to account for changes in operating costs due to
carryovers for capital pay-as-you-go projects previously anticipated to occur in FY
2023-24 that will now occur in FY 2024-25. Details on the FY 2024-25 proposed
budget for all City funds is attached to this report in Schedules 1-11 and include:
· Resources and expenditures by fund for FY 2022-23 actuals; FY 2023-24 estimate;
and FY 2024-25 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 2024-25 Capital Improvement Program budget financed by
operating funds.
· Proposed interfund transfers.
· Proposed full-time equivalent (FTE) positions by department.
· Preliminary FY 2024-25 Capital Improvement Program resources and expenditures
by capital fund, program and fund source.
· Summary of proposed property tax levy and rate information.
Next Steps
The remaining key dates in this year's budget process are as follows:
Page 9
Date Event
May 29, 2024 FY 2024-25 Tentative Budget Ordinance Adoption
June 12, 2024 FY 2024-25 Funding Plan and Final Budget Ordinance Adoption
July 1, 2024 FY 2024-25 Property Tax Levy Ordinance Adoption
On July 1, 2024, City Council is scheduled to adopt the 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
debt service for capital projects for General Obligation (GO) Bond Programs. Phoenix
voters recently approved the 2023 GO Bond Program that includes 47 projects and will
provide the resources needed for new parks and libraries, police and fire stations,
regional pools and splash pads, community centers, arts facility improvements, and
street and storm drain projects. More information on the 2023 GO Bond Program can
be found on our website at phoenix.gov/bond.
The total combined primary and secondary property tax rate for FY 2024-25, of
$2.0799, represents a 0.9 percent reduction from the FY 2023-24 combined rate of
$2.0992. The proposed primary property tax rate for FY 2024-25, of $1.2658, is 1.5
percent lower than the FY 2023-24 primary property tax rate of $1.2851, 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 2
percent levy limit, which limits the Primary Property Tax of a city, county or community
college district to an amount 2 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 1.5 percent, the primary property
tax revenue estimate increases for FY 2024-25 to $215.4 million, which is $7.4 million
or 3.6 percent more than the FY 2023-24 revenue estimate of $208.0 million, 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 12, 2024.

Community Feedback on the FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget
Community feedback on the proposed budget is a critical component of the
annual budget process. Input from Phoenix residents can help City Council
and departments to prioritize existing resources and to plan for the future.
Based on the feedback received, overall residents support the FY 2024-25
proposed budget. Multiple comments were received requesting additional
resources in the areas of homelessness, affordable housing, resources for
the Fire Department, street and bike improvements, accessible public water
drinking fountains and summer heat relief for vulnerable populations, and
legal support for eviction assistance. The below information highlights
efforts to date in these areas and plans for the future.
Unfortunately, due to the projected future deficits in FY 2025-26 and FY
2026-27 discussed in the City Council Report, no additional resources are
recommended for FY 2024-25. To ensure current programs and services
are preserved the one-time surplus of $80 million is proposed to be set-
aside in reserve to be available in the fund balance to help balance the FY
2025-26 General Fund (GF) budget.
Homelessness
Over the last two years the City of Phoenix has made significant
investments to address homelessness. Beginning with the creation of the
Office of Homeless Solutions (OHS) in July 2022. The City has invested
$2.8 million from the GF and has increased staff from nine in 2022 to 36
today; the majority of which are providing direct services to unsheltered
individuals and families in our community. Additionally, the City has
invested nearly $185 million over the last four years in capital projects and
homeless service operations from a variety of funding sources including
GFs, American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, Community Development
Block Grants, Emergency Solutions Grant funds and funding directly
allocated from the County and State government.
Funding has also been distributed to community partners including Central
Arizona Shelter Services (CASS) at $878,000 per year in GF support, and
$1,068,000 in ARPA funds in the current fiscal year to meet their budget
shortfalls. Additionally, close to $8 million was dedicated to capital
Page 11
improvements for the CASS Single Adult Shelter, Vista Colina Family
Shelter, and funding to convert a former hotel into a shelter that will serve
170 seniors aged 55 and over. Keys to Change (formerly the Human
Services Campus) received ARPA and other pandemic-related contracts
totaling over $8 million that resulted in the new Respiro Shelter serving 100
people nightly and in November 2023 to operate the City’s Safe Outdoor
Space, St. Vincent de Paul’s pandemic funding totaled over $13 million for
the new construction of their Ozanam Manor II shelter, which is scheduled
to open in June 2024, the operation of the City’s Washington Shelter and to
operate one of the city’s temporary lodging facilities for one year.
The majority of ARPA spending by OHS has been on capital projects,
investing in long-term facilities and infrastructure that can serve the
community for years to come. Some examples of these capital projects
include:
• The purchase of the XWing converted shipping container non
congregate shelter units.
• The renovations to create the Washington Relief Center.
• The acquisition of the 117-bed Rio Fresco Shelter.
• The construction of St. Vincent de Paul’s Ozanam Manor II.
• The acquisition of a former Super 8 hotel near I-17 and Northern to
create affordable housing for seniors.
• Renovations at the Safe Outdoor Space.
It is estimated additional GF resources will be needed to continue efforts
helping individuals experiencing homelessness upon expiration of ARPA
funding. Preliminary estimates from OHS for the ongoing GF need is $6.5
million in FY 2024-25 and $22 million in FY 2025-26. This amount is not
accounted for in the proposed budget.
Affordable Housing
The Housing Department is focused on providing our community with
affordable housing through a variety of programs and projects. Dedicated
funding for both City projects and community-focused programs ensures
the creation or preservation of affordable housing units throughout the City
of Phoenix. The Housing Department has several housing projects planned
or underway. The upcoming General Obligation (GO) Bond Program will
Page 12
provide $54.5 million to support the creation of 364 units and preservation
of an estimated 610 City-owned units. An additional $13 million in federal
HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) and ARPA funds will support the
creation of an additional 212 affordable rental units.
Funding is dedicated to support rental development projects and provide
affordable homeownership opportunities throughout the community.
Through gap financing programs, $12.3 million in HOME and ARPA funds
are being utilized to support the creation of 837 new rental units with an
additional $9 million, supporting 432 units, in planned projects. $8.2 million
of HOME-Recovery Plan Act (HOME-ARP) funds are dedicated to support
future permanent supportive rental housing projects. The Open Doors
down payment assistance and Community Land Trust programs, utilizing
$1.5 million in HOME and $5 million in APRA funds respectively, are
underway and will support an estimated 70 affordable homeownership
opportunities.
Fire Department Resources
The proposed FY 2024-25 budget includes significant resources for public
safety, including the Phoenix Fire Department (PFD). The total proposed
FY 2024-25 budget for PFD is $562 million. Between FY 2016-17 and FY
2023-24 the PFD budget has increased by 71% ($309M vs $527M). The
sworn staffing hiring target has also increased 250 positions since FY
2016-17 (1,865 vs 1,615). The 2023 voter approved GO Bond Program will
provide four additional fire stations, apparatus, and sworn personnel over
the next five years adding 118 additional sworn personnel by January
2029. This will bring the total sworn staffing increase from FY 2016-17
through FY 2028-29 to 368, or an increase of 23%.
The below table provides the PFD response times for first arriving
advanced life support (ALS) to critical emergency medical service
incidents, and first arriving engine and ladder to a fire incident compared to
the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) standard. Response times are
measured in the 90th Percentile (not averages).

Based on research and analysis by PFD, very few, if any, in the state or region meet the 5:00
minute NFPA Standard for First Arriving ALS Unit to Critical EMS Incident.
Additionally, the City Council approved $15 million in FY 2022-23 for an
additional 130.9 civilian positions for the Community Assistance Program
(CAP) to respond to behavioral and mental health calls for service allowing
sworn personnel to respond to core public safety related calls for service.
Street and Bike Improvements
The Streets Transportation Department is actively working on several items
requested by the community. The Phoenix Active Transportation Plan
(ATP) is a policy-level plan intended to implement Equitable, Safe,
Connected, and Enjoyable Streets for all. The plan includes
recommendations in three key areas: network development, policy updates
and design guidance. The Phoenix Connected Active Neighborhoods
(PhxCAN) program is a vital part of implementing the ATP's network
development element. The plan takes a community-focused approach to
enhance bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure across Phoenix, starting with
a detailed assessment of each of the city’s 15 urban villages to address
transportation safety concerns, needs and wants. The first year of the
program runs from Winter 2023 to Summer 2024 and is focusing on the
South Mountain and Central City villages, with a plan to target two villages
annually. A list of projects will be implemented within each village during a
one-to-two-year period. Engagement will be conducted at the neighborhood
level. The program is also designed to allow for implementation of quick
builds.
Residents expressed support to extend bike lanes on 3rd Street from
Roosevelt to Lincoln. Per the Street Transportation Department, the 2014
Downtown Transportation Study recommended making “3rd Street a cycle
corridor in and out of downtown”. That effort has not been completed south
of Roosevelt Street. There are plans of connecting protected bike lanes to,
and beyond, Lincoln Street down to and over the Rio Salado. Although the
Page 14
extension of the protected bike lanes south of Roosevelt was not in the
current budget, staff will be seeking Reconnecting Communities and
Neighborhoods (RCN) grant funding for this project. Staff will also pursue
other U.S. Department of Transportation grants as needed depending on
the success of the RCN grant process.
Additionally, staff is developing the “Smart Mobility Team” to manage both
the Autonomous Vehicle and Complete Streets Programs. The initial
staffing of this team will be with existing staff. Currently, the City does not
have ordinances pertaining to autonomous vehicles. Staff will be
researching autonomous vehicle developments, challenges, and future
necessary street design alterations, and will be building relationships with
the companies that operate in Phoenix.
Public Water Drinking Fountains
The Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department (PRD) is one of the largest
municipally managed parks systems in the country. Comprised of 187
parks located throughout the city, the parks system includes regional,
community, neighborhood, and mini parks as well as a variety of specialty
park areas including basins, wash areas, historic properties, and general
open space areas. Within the city parks system, there are a total of 384
drinking fountains which are accessible to the public during park hours. Of
these, 290 or 76%, provide chilled water. PRD manages 33 community and
recreation centers all of which contain drinking fountains which are publicly
accessible during operating hours. The department has a regular schedule
to assess and make repairs as necessary to ensure the availability of clean
and functional drinking water fountains for the community. Further, as
existing parks are renovated or new parks constructed, installation of
chilled water fountains is the department’s standard.
In addition to the public drinking fountains provided by the PRD, the Office
of Innovation launched a data-driven pilot in 2023 to expand equitable, free
and reliable access to chilled drinking water in public locations. Staff
partnered with the Water Services and Public Works departments and
Downtown Phoenix, Inc. The first two pilot water stations were installed in
front of City Hall, in the Marvin A. Andrews Plaza, and across Washington
Street in the Caesar Chavez Plaza. Data and research show the desire for
water stations in proximity to public buildings, public gathering spaces, and
Page 15
public transit stops. The custom-designed systems, which include heat
mitigation technologies, are currently being evaluated to inform the next
phase of the project.
Five locations are currently being considered for the next phase in
downtown Phoenix, near parks, public transit, and arts organizations.
Innovation has procured the next three units and has funding to procure
two additional units. Community and department partnerships are being
explored to support the installation costs, which vary depending on
location. The scope of a citywide initiative to expand access to chilled
drinking water will require a multi-pronged funding approach with a mix of
general funds, community partnerships, department partnerships and
grants. Innovation has applied for grant funding to support the expansion of
the program, including participating in Federal Infrastructure multi-
department applications and a Gila River Indian Community grant
opportunity.
Heat Relief Efforts
The creation of the Office of Heat Response and Mitigation in July 2021
catalyzed the City’s first comprehensive Heat Response Plan, which was
approved by City Council in spring 2022. The Heat Response Plan
presents the City’s efforts to enhance public health and community
resilience by alleviating adverse effects of heat. The Heat Response Plan
has been revised annually since 2022 and the third iteration of the Plan
was reviewed by City Council in February 2024. The 2024 Heat Response
Plan contains 39 different actions that address nine strategic priorities for
the City. Notable changes in the 2024 Plan include:
• The addition of extended hour and overnight options at City of
Phoenix Heat Relief Network locations, and implementation of an
Incident Management Team to coordinate resources and logistics for
those locations.
• The adoption of a worker safety ordinance that applies to employees
of businesses with City contracts, subcontracts, leases, subleases,
licenses, and sublicenses.
• The development of new strategies to reduce heat-health risks
among substance users, a population that accounts for nearly three-
quarters of heat-related deaths in Phoenix.
Page 16
• The creation of an expanded heat safety public education and
awareness campaign.
• The collaboration with newly created staff positions at Maricopa
County and the Arizona Department of Health Services focused on
heat response.
A major component of the City’s expanded efforts to prevent heat-related
illnesses and deaths in 2024 is the addition of extended hour and overnight
availability at five City of Phoenix Heat Relief Network locations from May 1
through September 30. A dedicated heat respite center at Burton Barr
Library will operate 24/7 through the heat season and the Senior
Opportunities West Senior Center will serve as an overnight respite
location. Both locations will be staffed with professionals with relevant
expertise to help navigate visitors toward solutions to the challenges that
brought them to the heat relief location, as well as dedicated security staff.
Additionally, three City library locations will offer extended cooling center
hours this heat season: Harmon Library, Cholla Library, and Yucca Library.
These three facilities will remain open for heat relief until 10pm each day of
the week and will have new open hours for heat relief on Sundays from
noon to 10pm. These locations will also be staffed with navigation services
and dedicated security. The five locations serving as extended hour and
overnight heat relief locations were identified based on analysis of multiple
indicators of community need as well as a rigorous assessment of the
capacity and functional capabilities of City of Phoenix facilities. The
extended hour and overnight locations are funded with ARPA resources
and grants from the Maricopa County Department of Public Health and
Arizona Department of Housing.
Tenant Eviction Assistance Program
The Tenants Eviction Assistance Project (TEAP) Program, administered
by Community Legal Services (CLS) in partnership with the City of
Phoenix Human Services Department (HSD) provides eviction
assistance for residents. Tenants are provided advice and legal counsel
regarding their specific circumstances. CLS helps to negotiate
settlements on behalf of tenants with landlords. Per HSD, since July 2020
Page 17
when the program was created over 8,000 cases have been managed
serving over 16,000 residents.
Additionally, the HSD Landlord and Tenant Program provides education
and counseling on the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant (ARLTA)
and the Arizona Mobile Home Acts to tenants and landlords through in-
person and telephonic appointments. Landlord Tenant Counselors also
respond to hundreds of calls and emails received every week through a
dedicated phone line and email. Three counselors are assigned to this
program and are currently housed in the community at the Travis L.
Williams Family Services Center. The program conducts regular
educational sessions and workshops on ARLTA and the Arizona Mobile
Home Act for community members multiple times each month. The
program is funded by the GF and Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds. In Fiscal Year 2023-24, over 8,000 total community
members are projected to receive education and counseling, with more
than 2,000 landlords and tenants meeting directly with Landlord Tenant
Counselors in person or by phone.
