Budget Message
January 1, 2015
Dear Mayor Jay and Council Members:
I present to the Mayor and City Council the 2015 Adopted Budget. This Budget provides the
framework for providing services and programs to the citizens of Wheat Ridge for the year 2015,
based on the delivery of core services and priorities identified in the City Council Strategic Plan. This
Budget document includes the General Fund, Capital Investment Program (CIP) Fund and all Special
Revenue Funds.
OVERALL SUMMARY
Wheat Ridge’s total adopted General Fund operating budget for 2015 is $28,990,382 excluding
transfers. The City’s total 2015 operating budget represents a 7% decrease compared to the
adjusted 2014 Budget. The projected 2015 General Fund ending fund balance is $5,900,246. Of this
amount, $4,830,535 or 17% of expenditures is considered the unrestricted fund balance. The City’s
financial policies require that the City maintain a minimum unrestricted fund balance of at least two
months or approximately 17% of its General Fund operating expenditures, as recommended by the
Government Finance Officers Association.
The total adopted City Budget for 2015, which includes the General Fund, CIP and Special Revenue
Funds, is $41,393,994. The CIP Budget is at $7,705,228 and the eight Special Revenue Funds’
adopted budgets total $4,698,384.
Sales tax, the City’s largest revenue source, for 2015 is projected to increase by 3% compared to
2014 estimated revenue. Sales tax revenue is projected to increase by 7% compared to 2014
adjusted revenue. Overall, total General Fund revenues for 2014 are projected to increase by 10%
compared to 2013 actual revenue and increase by 10% compared to 2014 adjusted revenue.
However, 2015 adopted total General Fund revenues are projected to decrease by 5% compared to
2014 primarily due to one-time revenue generated from a sales tax audit in 2014.
The estimated 2014 Budget ending fund balance is $8,470,246, of which $7,395,246 or 25%, of
operating expenditures is considered the unrestricted fund balance. The adopted 2015 Budget
ending unrestricted fund balance is projected to decrease to $4,830,535, or 17% of operating
expenditures, to allow for a $2,570,000 transfer to the CIP Budget.
LONG-TERM FISCAL CHALLENGES
Long-term fiscal sustainability remains one of the City’s greatest challenges. The City’s adopted
2015 – 2023 Capital Investment Program (CIP) budget demonstrates the severity of our funding gap
in regard to unfunded capital needs. The 2015 Adopted Budget includes a minimal transfer of
$2,570,000 from General Fund undesignated reserves to the CIP budget. Beyond 2015, funds will
1 2015 Adopted Budget
not be available for capital needs unless significant cuts are made to operating expenses or
additional revenues are found.
The proposed 1% sales and use tax increase that was on the November 2014 ballot did not receive
voter approval. The requested tax increase would have generated approximately $6.4 million in
new revenues annually that would have been dedicated to critical public works and parks and
recreation capital infrastructure projects. Because the tax increase did not pass, critical discussions
with City Council will have to take place in 2015 to determine how the City will manage its capital
infrastructure assets moving forward.
WHEAT RIDGE FIVE-YEAR GOALS
The Mayor, City Council and staff work together annually to develop and update a strategic plan
that includes a vision, goals and action agenda. Staff used these goals as a guide to develop

A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE IN A.C.T.I.O.N!
The City of Wheat Ridge has earned a reputation for repositioning itself and becoming a community
of choice. In 2015, the City will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the development of the
Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy (NRS) plan. This grassroots, community-driven planning
document has guided the transformation the City has experienced over the past ten years. The City
has received numerous state and national awards for its local partnerships and innovative
approaches to service delivery. The City’s reputation was created by the excellent stewardship
provided by past City Councils and staff at all levels.
An Engaged Community
A commitment to excellence has helped position the City to respond and plan for the needs of the
future. The City prudently responded to the fiscal challenges of the recent recession by making cuts
and deferring expenses while minimizing impacts to the levels of service. As the recessionary period
winds down, the City is seeing a positive shift in community engagement. The demand for services,
amenities, and community events that provide opportunities for citizens to come together has
increased. Participation in educational academies, involvement on boards and commissions, and
overall, participation in community and neighborhood planning efforts has also increased. The City
has an extremely engaged community, focused not only on the short-term viability of the City, but
more importantly, on the long-term sustainability of the City.
An Engaged Organization
City staff, at all levels, continually approach their jobs looking for ways to improve the level of
service, contain costs, improve efficiency, leverage partnerships and generate innovative ideas so
the community receives the best possible service. The City actively pursues grant opportunities and
has a solid track record of success in receiving grants. City staff is empowered to continue to look
4 2015 Adopted Budget
for additional cost-effective opportunities to partner with local and regional organizations, to
explore and expand the use of alternative service delivery opportunities, to continue to use
volunteers where feasible, to increase cost recovery, and to discontinue or reduce service standards
for those programs that are that are less of a priority.
Priority Based Budgeting
In 2014, the City embarked on year three of the Priority Based Budgeting (PBB) process. The City
has received national recognition and interest from other local governments who are considering
switching to a priority-driven budget. The City engaged the Center for Priority Based Budgeting in
2012 to facilitate the transition from a more traditional incremental budgeting process to a priority-
driven budgeting process. The Center’s mission is to “lead communities to fiscal health and
wellness.” Priority Based Budgeting is another tool that will allow the City’s management team to
improve the programs and services provided by aligning resource allocation with the results the City
is working to achieve.
The primary area that we continue to integrate into the budget process is the focus on budget
variances. Budget variances generally occur because certain line items must be budgeted based on
projected use such as staffing, fuel, and utilities. However, circumstances such as employee
turnover, the weather or the economy dictate what those true expenditures will be on an annual
basis. For example, if we experience an unusually bad winter or fuel prices skyrocket, mid-year
supplemental budget appropriations may be required.
In addition to continuing the variance exercise for development of the 2015 Budget, staff added a
contingency reduction exercise. Included in the City Manager’s Budget is a management
contingency fund in the amount of $100,000. This is the result of a consolidation of Citywide
contingency funds in 2014 which enabled staff to cut approximately $70,000 from the 2014
proposed budget. In the past, contingency funds have been budgeted for carrying out policy
direction by City Council that may not be planned for at the time of budget development. An
example of this would be engineering or design work required for a public project. Contingency
funds were used in 2014. However, those items placed on the contingency fund list were not re-
budgeted in 2015.
Overall, for the 2015 Budget, staff reduced funding by approximately $589,649 for requests that
were not considered critical to meeting the City’s defined results. Collectively, the variance and
contingency fund tools have played an important role in the continued integration of a priority-
driven budget system. This process has enabled staff to look at the budget data through a different
lens.
REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES
The total 2015 Adopted Budget is $41,393,994. The Budget is based on projected revenues of
$36,104,362. In addition, the beginning fund balance for 2015 is projected at $13,027,058 which
brings the total available funds to $49,131,420. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance
of $7,737,426, which is a 20% decrease compared to the 2014 Adopted Budget. Detailed revenue
5 2015 Adopted Budget
and expenditure tables are presented in the Revenue and Expenditure Summary section of this
Budget.
GENERAL FUND
General Fund revenue is projected at $28,990,382, which is a 5% decrease compared to 2014
estimated revenues. In addition, the beginning fund balance for 2015 is projected at $8,470,246,
which brings the total available funds for the General Fund to $37,460,628.
General Fund expenditures total $28,990,382, excluding transfers. General Fund expenditures
represent a 7% decrease compared to the adjusted 2014 Budget and a 2% decrease compared to
the estimated 2014 Budget. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of $5,900,246, of
which $4,830,535 (17% of operating expenditures) is considered unrestricted.
CAPITAL INVESTMENT PROGRAM FUND
CIP Fund revenue is projected at $5,890,228 ($2,570,000 transferred from the General Fund) which
is a 29% increase compared to the 2014 estimated revenue of $4,541,601. In addition, the
beginning fund balance for 2015 is projected at $1,879,302 which brings the total available funds for
the CIP Fund to $7,769,530.
The proposed 2015 CIP includes the following major projects:
•$2.8 million for Kipling Street pedestrian trail improvements – partially grant funded
•$3.2 million for preventative street maintenance projects
•$630,228 for Gold Line Station street project – fully grant funded
•$470,000 for Wadsworth Planning Environmental Linkage (PEL) – partially grant funded
•$260,000 for drainage improvement projects (mainline storm sewer outfall replacements
along Clear Creek, and Maple Grove Reservoir improvements)
•$100,000 for Traffic Management Program (traffic calming improvements and neighborhood
monument signage
•$100,000 for Bike/Pedestrian trail improvements
•$50,000 for ADA transition plan for improving sidewalk accessibility Citywide
•$10,000 for street lights
CIP expenditures total $7,705,228 which is a 16% decrease compared to the adjusted 2014 Budget
and a 52% increase compared to the estimated 2014 Budget. This will provide for a projected
ending fund balance of $64,302.
Typically the CIP Budget is funded primarily with General Fund undesignated reserves. The City
Council adopted a General Fund reserve policy in 2011 setting the minimum reserve level at 17%. In
order to maintain this minimum reserve balance in the General Fund in 2015 and beyond, the
General Fund will no longer be able to fund the CIP Budget after 2015. To continue funding CIP
projects, City Council will need to consider substantial cuts in the City’s operating budget or find
new revenue sources for 2016.
6 2015 Adopted Budget
Without additional funding, the proposed CIP Budget for 2016 to 2023 will be limited to the
following projects:
•$350,000 for minor street improvements in 2016
•A total of $1.5 million available for preventative street maintenance over an eight-year
period. Staff has identified the need for $3.9 million annually to maintain an appropriate
street pavement Overall Conditions Index (OCI) of at least “good.”
OPEN SPACE FUND
Open Space revenue is projected at $967,000 which is a 45% decrease compared to the 2014
estimated revenue of $1,769,346. The large decrease is primarily due to Jefferson County grants
received in 2014. In addition, the beginning fund balance for 2015 is projected at $442,511, which
brings the total available funds for the Open Space Fund to $1,409,511.
Open Space projects for 2015 include:
•Open Space improvements
•Improvements to Prospect Park
•Completion of the master plan design for the renovation and improvements to Prospect Park
•Parks maintenance projects
•Trail replacement and repair
•Outdoor pool maintenance and repair
•Matching funds for the Jefferson County Opens Space River Corridor signage project and
Kipling Trail pedestrian improvements
Funding is also appropriated for five Parks maintenance workers. Open Space expenditures total
$1,307,379 which is a 51% decrease compared to the adjusted 2014 Budget and a 48% decrease
compared to the estimated 2014 Budget. These expenditure decreases are due to construction of
Hopper Hollow Park in 2014 and a Parks vehicle storage building. This will provide for a projected
ending fund balance of $102,132.
The future five-year Open Space Budget proposes the continuation of miscellaneous open space
improvements, parks maintenance projects, trail replacement and repair, Prospect Park
improvements, a new public works and parks operations facility, and funding for five additional
Parks positions.
CONSERVATION TRUST FUND
Conservation Trust revenue is projected at $301,000, which is equal to the 2014 estimated revenue.
In addition, the beginning fund balance for 2015 is projected at $315,538, which brings the total
available funds for the Conservation Trust Fund to $616,538.
Conservation Trust projects for 2015 include:
•Recreation Center maintenance projects
•Active Adult Center parking lot replacement

•Playground equipment replacement at Hank Stites Park
•Parks maintenance projects
•Resurfacing of tennis and basketball courts
Conservation Trust expenditures total $365,000, which is a 54% decrease compared to the adjusted
2014 Budget and a 35% decrease compared to the estimated 2014 Budget. These expenditure
decreases are due to construction of Hopper Hollow Park in 2014. This will result in a projected
ending fund balance of $251,538. The future Five-Year Conservation Trust Budget proposes to
provide funds for Recreation Center maintenance needs, Anderson Building replacement, parks
maintenance projects, resurfacing of tennis/basketball courts, Discovery Park ADA playground and
Boyds Crossing playground.
RECREATION CENTER OPERATIONS FUND
Recreation Center Operations revenue for 2015 is projected at $2,074,642, which is a decrease of
0.2% compared to the 2014 estimated revenue of $2,079,559. In addition, the beginning fund
balance for 2015 is projected at $1,000,075 which brings the total available funds for the Recreation
Center Operations Fund to $3,074,717.
Recreation Center expenditures total $2,363,101, which is a 4% increase compared to the adjusted
2014 Budget and a 6% increase compared to the estimated 2014 Budget. This will provide for a
projected ending fund balance of $711,616.
OTHER SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
Several other Special Revenue Funds are also included in this Budget to track revenues and
expenditures that are designated by law to be used for specific purposes or are used to simplify the
budgeting process. Those funds include the Public Art, Police Investigation, Municipal Court,
Equipment Replacement, and Crime Prevention/Code Enforcement funds. Detailed revenue and
expenditure information for these funds can be found in the Special Revenue Funds and the Line
Item Accounts sections of the Budget.
DEBT
The City currently has no debt. However, the City’s Urban Renewal Authority (Renewal Wheat
Ridge), is a component of the City and does have a loan in the amount of $728,838 for the Town
Center North project. The Urban Renewal Authority also has a loan with the City in the amount of
$690,000 for infrastructure improvements at Town Center North and the purchase of an
environmentally contaminated property at 38th and Yukon Court. These loans will be paid-off with
the sale of properties at Town Center North and 38th and Yukon in 2014 and 2015. Additionally, the
Urban Renewal Authority provided a loan in the amount of $2.4 million for the Kipling Ridge
commercial center development. The term of this loan is for 10 years and will be paid from sales
and property tax incremental revenue from the Kipling Ridge project.
COMPENSATION, BENEFITS AND STAFFING
Personnel-related expenses account for the largest portion of the City’s Budget; therefore,
maintaining this investment is a high priority. In 2013, the City launched a new compensation plan
8 2015 Adopted Budget
for full-time/part-time benefited employees that is financially sustainable and is a plan that will help
the City recruit and retain top talent. Additionally, the compensation plan is market-based and fully
aligned with the Performance Management Project (PMP) that has culminated in the full
implementation of a pay-for-performance system. The City’s pay-for-performance model is
consistent with the culture and commitment to A.C.T.I.O.N! – the City’s core values of
Accountability – Change – Teamwork – Integrity – Opportunity – Now!. It is important for the City to
reward employees who exemplify these core values and who help achieve the City’s strategic
results.
The new compensation plan consists of two sub plans 1) a pay-for-performance open range plan,
which includes civilian and police sergeants and higher ranks, and 2) a sworn step plan, which
includes Police Officer I and II positions. Employees will be eligible for a performance increase on
January 1, 2015, based on how well they meet the core values and competencies of the new PMP
system.
The pay-for-performance budget is determined on an annual basis according to what comparable
organizations are providing and what the City can afford for that fiscal year. The City conducted a
biennial market review in 2014. For 2015, the market shift in compensation is 3% for the City plans
noted above. The proposed 2015 budget includes $450,000 in the Central Charges budget to fund
both sub plans.
The City continues to provide a competitive benefits package to employees that includes medical,
dental, life and disability benefits. Throughout the year, staff works closely with the City’s benefit
broker, IMA, to ensure that the City is controlling benefit costs while still providing a competitive
benefits package to its employees, which is a vital part of the City’s total compensation approach to
pay.
The City currently provides Kaiser Permanente plans for employee medical benefits. Medical
premiums will increase by 5% for 2015. There are several key factors that play a role in calculating
the City’s health care premium renewal. Participation in the Wellness Program is a positive
contributing factor to the minimal premium increase. Historically, the City’s premium increases
ranged from 10 – 15%, which is the market average. The 5% increase for 2015 is well below that
average. The City will continue to encourage enrollment and active participation in the Wellness
Program. There is minimal increase to the dental premium, but the life and short-term disability
premiums will remain constant.
In 2015, the City will continue to offer the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). This plan was added
in 2013 and is a consumer model of health care paired with a Health Savings Account (HSA). The
City will also continue to offer the traditional HMO plan. The premiums for both the employee and
the City are lower for a HDHP but the out-of-pocket costs to the employee are higher. The goal of
the consumer-driven HDHP is to encourage employees to manage costs through effective use of
health care.
9 2015 Adopted Budget
The 2015 staffing level will increase by a net of 3.11 FTE’s for a total of 230.375 FTE’s in all funds.
Staffing levels continue to remain below the 233.755 FTE’s authorized in 2002 before the budget
reduction program and elimination of positions in 2003 and 2004.
New Positions:
1.0 FTE Permit Technician – Community Development
- Over the past six years, the Building Division has seen a significant increase in the volume of
building permits in the City. The division is understaffed to meet the current demands with the
existing Senior Permit Technician. The creation of this position will increase customer service by
expediting the processing of building permits and allowing for expansion of over-the-counter
permitting. Additionally, this position will allow for the division to expand its hours of operation and
eliminate waiting times for customers seeking permits or code information.
2.0 FTE Emergency Services Specialist (ESS) – Police Department
- Currently the Communications Center which operates 24 hours a day/7 days a week is not
adequately staffed according to the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials
International (APCO) staffing standards, which creates a public safety issue. The APCO studies
conducted in 2007 and 2013 recommended that the City needs to add 5.3 dispatcher positions. Due
to the limited staffing in the center, there may be only one dispatcher in the Communications Center
at any given time. While the gaps in adequate coverage have been managed by existing staff
working additional hours and with a Lead ESS, the result has been increased turnover, fatigue, loss
of focus on the job and overall burnout. The liability of not increasing staffing in the
Communications Center is the potential for service impacts if a major incident occurs and a single
dispatcher is not able handle the call volume.
1.0 FTE Deputy Court Administrator – Municipal Court
- This position will support the Court Administrator in the supervision of six Deputy Court Clerks I/II.
This reorganization will reduce the number of direct reports to the Court Administrator and create
capacity within the department for improved communication, and the coaching and mentoring of
employees.
Eliminated Positions:
0.875 FTE Deputy Court Clerk – Municipal Court
- This allocated FTE has been vacant for several years. With the addition of a Deputy Court
Administrator this FTE can be eliminated.
0.010 FTE Court Marshal – Municipal Court
- An adjustment of .010 FTE (previous years rounding error for Court Marshal position(s)) for a total
decrease of 0.010 FTE.
0.005 FTE Recreation Coordinator – Parks and Recreation
- An adjustment of .005 FTE (previous years rounding error for recreation coordinator) for a total
decrease of 0.005 FTE.
10 2015 Adopted Budget
Grant Funded Positions:
2.0 FTE Police Officer(s) – Police Department
-The Police Department was awarded a Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grant in
September 2010 for a total of $508,902. Funding for this grant will be expended during the first pay
period in January 2015. Receipt of the COPS grant included the requirement to continue funding
these two positions for a one year period. After grant funds have been fully expended, these
positions will be funded through the General Fund.

Property Tax Revenue
Distribution: General Fund 100%
Source: Wheat Ridge property owners
Collection:
The collection process begins with the Jefferson County Assessor's Office. Two types of property are valued
by the Assessor's Office: 1) "real property" (land & buildings) and 2) “personal property” (business machines
& equipment). Once market values are established, the Assessor's Office computes the assessed valuation of
property based on state-legislated assessment percentages. Property is assessed at the end of one year, for
collection in the following year. An eight-year history of these assessment percentages is provided in the
table below:

Total assessed valuation (in millions) for the City of Wheat Ridge for the past eight years is
demonstrated by the following table:

Assessed Valuation $429 $429 $424 $421 $411.6 $405 $410.9 $410.3
Mill Levies for Residents:
Assessments are furnished to the Jefferson County Treasurer's Office. The Treasurer's Office issues property
tax bills to every property owner based on the property's assessed valuation and the total mill levy which
local governments have certified for the year. Within Wheat Ridge, mill levies are 1.83 and are certified by
the City of Wheat Ridge.
Payment:
Property owners pay property taxes to Jefferson County in either two installments due February 28 and June
15 or in one installment due April 30. Jefferson County wire transfers the City’s property taxes directly to the
City’s main bank account on the 10th of the month following the month that the collection is processed by
Jefferson County.
40 2015 Adopted Budget
General Fund Revenues
Property Tax Revenue
Legal Restrictions:
The Gallagher Amendment to the Colorado Constitution restricts property tax growth in requiring the
legislature to annually adjust the residential assessed valuation percentage to ensure that the proportion of
residential to total state assessed valuation remains constant – residential properties pay 45% of the total
property taxes, while commercial and industrial properties pay 55%. The decreasing residential assessment
ratio noted in the table is a result of residential growth and market values rising relative to commercial
market values. In order to maintain this proportional allocation, the residential property assessment
percentage has declined from 21% in 1982 to the current level of 7.96%, while the non-residential property
percentage has remained at 29%.
Finally, there is a statutory limitation which prohibits property tax revenue growth from exceeding 5.5% each
year, adjusted for new construction, although it is generally held that home rule cities like Wheat Ridge are
exempt from this provision.
Forecast: 2014 $744,111 2015 $758,000
Rationale:
Forecast for 2014 is based on preliminary valuation information from the County Assessor. The City is
seeing steady increase in property tax revenues from the downward trend in 2011 and 2012. Three new
residential developments broke ground in 2014 with an additional three developments are slated to break
ground in 2015. The City expects to see a greater increase in property tax revenues as a result of these
projects in 2016 and beyond.

Taxes are collected by the retailer and are reported directly to the City on either a monthly, quarterly, or
annual basis.

Sales tax revenues have slowly rebounded from the economic recession that started late in 2008
and impacted the City more significantly in 2009.
Forecast: 2014 $15,837,708 2015 $16,200,000
Rationale:
The City continues to project a steady increase in sales tax revenues in 2015. Growth was seen in 2014;
however, a steady increase is projected in 2015. Forecast anticipates a 2% growth in Sales Tax for 2015,
which is consistent with the growth seen in 2014 allowing for new business activity.

Use Tax Revenue
Distribution: General Fund 100%
Source:
Citizens and businesses in Wheat Ridge, including automobile use tax collected and remitted by
Jefferson County and use tax on business purchases remitted by businesses.
Collection:
Use tax is a compensating tax equal to the City sales tax of 3%, due on all items used in business on which no
local sales tax was paid or on which a lesser local sales tax was paid. Use tax may also be due on purchases
made for operating supplies, furnishings, equipment and fixtures. What is taxable at the City level differs
from what is taxable at the State level. Suppliers often rely on State rules in preparing invoices, which creates
potential for unpaid City Use Tax that would be assessed with penalty and interest were your company to be
audited. Jefferson County collects automobile use tax and remits monthly to the City of Wheat Ridge.
Businesses remit tax to the City on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Taxes are due to the City by the 20th
of the month following purchase of the item. The City has established a lockbox for the efficient and secure
deposit of sales and use tax monies. Returns are mailed directly to the bank, eliminating processing float. The
City utilizes a number of enforcement procedures to collect from delinquent accounts including taxpayer
education, delinquency notices, personal phone contact and visits, audits, summons to municipal court and
seizures.

Use Tax Revenue
Use tax has fluctuated based on business investment, build out and new commercial development. The
decline starting in 2010 is a reflection of the changing economy and continued uncertainty in the business
community. The slight increase in 2012 is a result of gradually improving economy.
Forecast: 2014 $2,996,000 2015 $2,805,000
Rationale:
The forecast anticipates that overall use tax will continue to increase in 2015, specifically building use tax
as compared to 2010 and 2011. As a result of three new residential projects breaking ground, the City saw
steady growth in use tax in 2014 with an increase in revenue compared to original budget projections. The
City projects continued steady growth in 2015 along with increases as a result of new commercial activity.
The City also projects an increase in auto use tax as comsumer spending continues to improve.

Recreation Center Fund
About the Recreation Center Fund
The Wheat Ridge Recreation Center is a state-of-the-art
facility located in the heart of Wheat Ridge that also
serves as a business conference and event center. The
Recreation Center Fund was established through voter
approval of a ballot question to increase the sales and
use tax rate in November of 1997. The fund was
approved for the construction and operation of a public
recreation center with activities for all ages. Facilities at
the Recreation Center include an indoor warm water
leisure pool, indoor lap pool, indoor walk/run track,
gymnasium, aerobics room, weight training area,
racquetball courts, climbing wall, and meeting/banquet
facilities. The 1/2% retail sales and use tax rate imposed
by the City was effective January 1, 1998 and was
terminated in March 2002 when a total of $12,350,000
had been raised.

Capital Investment Program (CIP)
About CIP
The Capital Investment Program (CIP) is a multi-year
program aimed at upgrading and expanding City
facilities, buildings, grounds, streets, parks and roads.
The intent of the CIP is to serve as a guide in the
provision of new facilities to meet the increasing
demand for capital improvements throughout the City,
as well as in the replacement of outmoded facilities.
The City of Wheat Ridge continually faces the fact that it
has a list of many worthy and valuable projects that far
exceed the funding available at any one time. A process
has been set up to evaluate each program, its funding
needs, potential funding sources and priority with respect
to all other needs within the City.
A basis has been established with a 10-year CIP listing, which assigns a preliminary schedule and
provides a description of the projects and future operational costs of these projects.

Justification: Two mainline storm sewer outfalls into Clear Creek are in disrepair and can no
longer be maintained. Replacement is needed in order to prevent significant erosion and
safety issues.
2. Maple Grove Reservoir $10,000
Description: A joint effort with Urban Drainage Flood Control District, City of Lakewood and
Consolidated Mutual Water Company to implement an enhanced early flood warning system
for Lena Gulch and developing a modified operation plan for the dam spillway crest gates on
Maple Grove Reservoir.
Justification: The rainfall event of September 9-13, 2013 and the subsequent Maple Grove
Reservoir spillway flows prompted Lakewood, Wheat Ridge and The Consolidated Mutual
Water Company to request immediate District assistance in implementing the flood warning
system enhancements recommended in the master plan.
Street Improvements
1. Kipling Pedestrian Improvements $2,835,000*
Description: Kipling multi-use path, 32nd Avenue to 44th Avenue.

2015 10-yr CIP Budget
Pay-for-Performance Compensation Plan
In 2013, the City launched a new compensation plan for full-time/part-time benefitted employees
that is financially sustainable and is a plan that will help staff recruit and retain top talent.
Additionally, the compensation plan is market-based and fully aligned with the City’s efforts with
the performance management project (PMP) that has culminated in the full implementation of a
pay-for-performance system. The City’s pay-for-performance model is consistent with the culture
and commitment to A.C.T.I.O.N! - The City’s core values. It is important for the City to reward
employees who exemplify these core values and who help achieve the City’s strategic results.
The City’s new compensation philosophy is as follows:
The City of Wheat Ridge recognizes that, as a service organization, employees are
critical to the success of its mission and goals. In a highly competitive and ever-changing
environment, we strive to attract and retain individuals who respond quickly, think
creatively, and achieve meaningful results.
The City strives to attract and retain a highly skilled workforce that is efficient,
productive, and innovative. Rewards are based on behaviors, contributions, and
performance that demonstrate a commitment to public service and to the City’s core
values. Employees are rewarded for taking personal responsibility to develop their
skills, provide excellent customer service and develop positive relationships within the
community. Employees are expected to continually strive to learn as well as apply
problem-solving and customer service skills to further the City’s mission.
The total compensation package consists of base pay, comprehensive benefits,
recognition and wellness programs as well as development opportunities based on
financial conditions and strategic objectives, as compared to other governmental and
private employers in the community.
The new Compensation Plan consists of two sub plans: 1) a Pay-for-Performance open range plan
(which includes civilian and police sergeants and higher ranks) and 2) a Sworn Step Plan which
includes Police Officer I and II.
Market Survey Update - The City conducted a biennial market analysis update in 2014 to see how
the City’s pay practices relate to the employer comparison group. For 2015, the market shift in
compensation is 3% for the City plans (this does not include the part-time pay plan). This market
shift is reflected in the 2015 pay plan. The current economic situation also must be factored into
decisions related to the compensation system. Any appropriate adjustments to salary grades will be
considered in the next fiscal year budget and will not be considered mid-year as done in the past
with the City’s former practice known as mid-year market adjustments.
207 2015 Adopted Budget
Additionally, staff implemented the new Part-Time Employee Pay Plan in 2014.
Employees will be eligible for a performance increase effective January 3, 2015. Following the
performance evaluation due dates scheduled in the fall of 2014, employees may receive an increase
based on how they met the core values and competencies of the new PMP system. The merit
budget is determined and approved by City Council on an annual basis according to what other
comparable organizations are providing and what the City can afford for that fiscal year.
Unforeseen factors that could impact the local, state or national economy cannot always be
predicted. Performance increases are awarded based on an employee’s performance review. They
are not guaranteed. The City does not grant cost-of-living increases. Pay increases are allocated
based on the employee’s performance and achievement of organizational core values and
performance competencies. Cost-of-living increases are no longer a best practice and very few local
government entities use this method. Overall, cost-of-living increases do not reward performance
and do not support the culture of the City.
The City’s new compensation system considers job content and qualification only. Demonstrated
achievement of performance goals and objectives, core values and competencies result in
determining the pay increase employees are eligible for on an annual basis. Increases are
contingent upon available funding.

Financial Policies
CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE
ACCOUNTING, BUDGETING AND FINANCIAL POLICIES 2015
The City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado financial policies set forth the basic framework for the fiscal
management of the City. These policies were developed within the parameters established by
applicable provisions of the Colorado Revised Statutes and the City of Wheat Ridge City Charter.
The policies are to be reviewed on an annual basis and modified to accommodate changing
circumstances or conditions.
Basis of Accounting
The City’s finances are accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) as established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
Basis of accounting refers to the point at which revenues or expenditures are recognized in the
accounts and reported in the financial statements. The government‐wide financial statements,
as well as the financial statements for proprietary funds and fiduciary funds, are reported using
the economic resource measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under accrual
basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a
liability is incurred, regardless of when the cash is received.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under modified accrual basis of
accounting, revenues are recognized as soon as they become both measurable and available, and
expenditures are recorded in the period that the expenditure occurs and becomes a liability.
For accounting purposes, the budget for each department is broken down into a variety of divisions
and/or program budgets. Expenditures are classified as the following:
• Personnel Services
• Services & Supplies
• Capital Outlay
Personnel Services includes salaries for full‐time and part‐time employees, overtime pay, insurance,
retirement, and other costs related to the City. The compensation plan is intended to provide all
employees with fair and equitable pay and to provide a uniform system of payment. The City has
adopted a Performance‐Based Pay Plan. This plan equates an employee’s salary based upon the
performance evaluation rating.
Services & Supplies encompasses administrative costs such as office supplies, uniforms, small tools,
ammunition, salt, sand and gravel, dues, subscriptions, travel and training expense, safety

programs, audit/legal/consulting fees, telephone/utility charges, principal and interest payments,
and photocopying, to name a few.
Capital Outlay consists of fixed assets over $5,000 and a useful life of greater than one year. This
expenditure area consists of furniture/fixtures, computer hardware, land, buildings, and other
infrastructure. A detailed, “line‐item” budget is provided to departments to facilitate monitoring of
day‐to‐day expenditures.
Basis of Budgeting
Basis of budgeting refers to the methodology used to include revenues and expenditures in the
budget. The City of Wheat Ridge budgets on a cash basis. The City does not budget for non‐cash
items such as depreciation and amortization. The revenues and expenditures are assumed to be
collected or spent during the period appropriated. Using this assumption, the current year
revenues are compared to expenditures to ensure that each fund has sufficient revenues to
cover expenditures during the budget year, or that there are sufficient cash reserves in the fund to
cover a revenue shortfall. The City’s operating budget and all special funds are adopted on an
annual basis (the fiscal year begins with the first day of January and ends on the last day of
December) with all appropriations lapsing at fiscal year‐end. Capital projects and grant funds have
multi‐year budgets. Outstanding encumbrances at fiscal year‐end are re‐appropriated by approval
of the City Council in the subsequent fiscal year.
Basis of Budgeting vs. Basis of Accounting
The basis of budgeting differs from the basis of accounting only by the assumptions that are made
in regard to the timing of the recognition of revenues and expenditures. The budget assumes that
all revenues and expenditures, as well as the associated cash, will be expended or received during
the budget period. Conversely, the basis of accounting only recognizes revenues when they
become both measurable and available, and expenditures when incurred. Cash is not necessarily
received or expended at the same time.
Basis of Presentation – Fund Accounting
The activities of the City are organized into separate funds that are designated for a specific purpose
or set of purposes. Each fund is considered a separate accounting entity, so the operations of each
fund are accounted for with a set of self‐balancing accounts that comprise its revenues, expenses,
assets, liabilities, and fund equity as appropriate.
The number and variety of funds used by the City promotes accountability but can also make
municipal budgeting and finance complex. Therefore, understanding the fund structure is an
important part of understanding the City’s finances. The City uses Governmental Funds and within
this fund type the City has Special Revenue Funds and a Capital Investment Project Fund.
The following is a description of the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, the Capital Investment
Program (CIP) and the Recreation Center Fund.
292 2015 Adopted Budget
Governmental Funds
General Fund
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund and is used to track the revenues and
expenditures associated with the basic City services that are not required to be accounted for in
other funds. This includes services such as police, public works, parks and recreation, and other
support services such as human resources. These services are funded by general purpose tax
revenues and other revenues that are unrestricted. This means that the City Council, with input
from the public, has the ability to distribute the funds in a way that best meets the needs of the
community as opposed to other funds that are restricted to predefined uses.
Special Revenue Funds
Special Revenue funds account for activities supported by revenues that are received or set aside
for a specific purpose that is legally restricted. These funds are described in greater detail under the
Special Funds tab of this budget document. The City has seven Special Revenue Funds: Public Art
Fund, Police Investigation Fund, Open Space Fund, Municipal Court Fund, Conservation Trust Fund,
Equipment Replacement Fund, and Crime Prevention Fund.
Capital Investment Program Fund
The Capital Investment Program (CIP) Fund account is for financial resources that must be used for
the acquisition, improvements or construction of major capital projects. The CIP is funded by a
transfer from the General Fund in addition to other revenue sources such as grants, and lodger’s
tax. The 10‐year Capital Investment Plan lists approved and anticipated capital projects of the City,
and can be located in the CIP tab of this budget document.
Recreation Center Fund
The Recreation Center Fund is a governmental fund whereby the expense of providing goods and
services to the general public on a continuing basis are financed or recovered primarily through
user charges. However, the Recreation Center Fund is not completely self‐sufficient and internal
services such as information technology and human resources costs are covered under the General
Fund. In the event that these user charges are insufficient to cover the operations of the
Recreation Center Fund, transfers can be made from other fund types to provide additional
financial support.

state and local governments established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
for governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The CAFR shows the status of the
City’s finances on the basis of GAAP. The CAFR shows fund revenues and expenditures on both a
GAAP basis and budget basis for comparison purposes.
Debt Management Policy
The City Council adopted a Debt Management Policy in June of 2011. This policy is included on page
296.
Unrestricted Fund Balance Policy
The City Council adopted an Unrestricted Fund Balance Policy in June of 2011. This policy is
included on page 299.
295 2015 Adopted Budget
296 2015 Adopted Budget
The City of Wheat Ridge (City) recognizes the importance of long-range, financial planning in order
to meet its capital project and improvement needs. The following debt management policy provides
guidance on the issuance of debt to help ensure that the City maintains a sound debt position and
that its credit quality is protected. As such, the policy allows for an appropriate balance between
establishing debt parameters while also providing flexibility to respond to unforeseen circumstances
and new opportunities.
Responsibility and Administration of Policy
The primary responsibility for developing long-term, financing recommendations rests with the City
Manager. During the annual budget process, and at any other time during the year that may be war-
ranted, the City Manager will work with the Administrative Services Director and the City Treasurer
(the internal working group) to determine if there is a need for long-term financing consideration.
As part of the determination process, the internal working group shall review the financing needs
outlined by the Capital Investment Program (see below) to analyze the capital financing needs
compared with available resources. The internal working group will also provide recommendations
regarding refunding and restructuring of existing debt.
Once the determination is made by the internal working group to pursue finance borrowing, a re-
funding, or restructuring of debt, the City Manager shall prepare and present to City Council a
resolution of intent to issue debt and authorizing City staff to proceed with the necessary
preparations. The City Charter (Chapter XII – Municipal Funding) outlines the specific approvals (e.g.
voter authorization, majority vote by City Council, etc.) that are required in order for the City to
issue various types of debt and this policy will be administered in conformity with the City Charter.
The City Manager and City Treasurer will review the Debt Management Policy annually in
connection with the City’s annual budget process to ensure that the City is adhering to the
framework outlined in this policy and will make recommendations to revise the policy as needed.
Capital Investment Program
The Capital Investment Program (CIP) will be utilized to identify capital projects and/or
improvements that are part of the City’s strategic vision and economic development efforts.
The CIP will cover, at a minimum, a 10-year period and provide a projection of the
financing needs required to implement the CIP. The CIP will include the associated ongoing
operations and maintenance costs of such capital assets and/or improvements so that the total
costs of the projects are considered. The CIP will be updated annually by the City’s Public Works’
Director as part of the budget process.
Financial Policies
CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE
DEBT MANAGEMENT POLICY
Adopted by City Council June 2011
297 2015 Adopted Budget
Purpose of Debt
Incurrence of debt or long-term borrowing will only be used for the purpose of providing financing
for capital assets, which include but are not limited to buildings, infrastructure, land acquisition and
purchase of significant equipment. The City, under no circumstances, will issue debt or borrow funds
to finance City operations and maintenance costs.
The City will strive to maximize the use of pay-as-you-go financing for capital projects and
improvements. Debt borrowing will be considered when annual revenues and accumulation of fund
balances are not sufficient to provide the necessary funding for such projects.
Types of Debt
The types of debt instruments to be used by the City may include:
• General Obligation and Revenue Bonds
• Short-term notes
• Special or Local Improvement bonds
• Certificates of Participation
• Any other legally recognized security approved by City Council
Although permitted by the City Charter, the City will avoid the issuance of tax or revenue
anticipation notes.
Additionally, the City will strive to secure a fixed rate structure when issuing debt. The City will
consider a variable rate structure when market conditions favor this type of issuance, and when
feasible, ensure there is a maximum interest rate provided within the variable rate structure.
Credit enhancements will be used only in instances where the anticipated present value savings in
terms of reduced interest expense exceeds the cost of the credit enhancement.
Level of Debt
The City’s aggregate amount of bonds or other evidences of indebtedness outstanding will not
exceed three percent (3%) of the actual valuation of the taxable property within the City as shown
by the last preceding assessment. In determining the amount of indebtedness outstanding, the City
will adhere with the computation guidelines as established by City Charter.
The City will strive to maintain its annual debt service costs (principal and interest) for its govern-
mental activities at a level of no greater than 10% of general fund expenditures. The repayment
terms of the debt will not exceed the useful life of the capital asset financed. Further,
the City will seek level or declining debt repayment schedules and will not issue debt that provides
for a balloon principal payment reserved at the end of the term of the issue. Moreover, the City
will also strive to obtain redemption terms that allow for the prepayment of debt without paying a
redemption penalty.
Debt Issuance Practices
As part of its debt issuance process, the City will at all times manage its debt and sustain its financial
position in order to secure and maintain an Aa/AA or higher bond rating. The City will market its
298 2015 Adopted Budget
debt through the use of a competitive bid process when issuing general obligation debt. The
competitive bid process will also be used for other debt issuances unless time, interest rates and/or
other factors make it more favorable for the City to use a negotiated process.
If needed, the City will hire an independent financial advisor, and any other professional service
provider (e.g. bond counsel), to assist in the structuring of the debt transaction and to provide
overall guidance throughout the process.
Guidelines for Refunding
The City shall consider refunding (advance and current refunding) outstanding debt whenever an
analysis indicates the potential for net present value (NPV ) savings of at least three percent (3%) can
be achieved. The City may also consider refunding outstanding bonds to remove existing restrictive
covenants.
The City shall also consider restructuring its existing debt in order to extend the payment terms to
meet cash flow needs if deemed beneficial to the City’s long-term financial and strategic planning.
Post Issuance Management
The City will invest its debt proceeds in accordance with the City’s investment policy and statutory
requirements. Funds will be invested in instruments and with related maturities that will provide the
liquidity needed to meet the cash flow needs of each project. In this regard, the City Treasurer will
prepare a cash flow projection to determine the availability of funds available to be invested and
their respective required maturities.
The City will comply with all arbitrage rebate requirements as established by the Internal Revenue
Service. Arbitrage will be calculated at the end of each fiscal year and interest earned on the
investment of debt proceeds will be reserved to pay any penalties due. Secondary market dis-
closures requirements established within the terms of the debt transaction will be adhered to and
filed on a timely basis.
The City Treasurer will be responsible for managing the post issuance requirements listed above
and/or cause any post issuance requirements to be completed.

Financial Policies
CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE
UNRESTRICTED FUND BALANCE POLICY
Adopted by City Council June 2011
The City of Wheat Ridge has determined it to be a sound, financial practice to maintain adequate
levels of unrestricted fund balance in its General Fund in order to mitigate current and future
risks such as revenue shortfalls and unanticipated expenditures as well as to ensure stable tax
rates. Additionally, the City believes that adequate unrestricted fund balance levels are a critical
consideration to the City’s long-term financial planning. In this regard, the City has established the
following fiscal policy related to its unrestricted fund balance.
Maximum and Minimum Amounts
The City will maintain a minimum unrestricted fund balance of at least two months or
approximately 17%, as recommended by the Government Finance Officers’ Association (GFOA), of
its General Fund operating expenditures. The City’s maximum unrestricted fund balance shall
not exceed 35.0% of General Fund operating expenditures. Not precluding the aforementioned
minimum and maximum percentages, the City will annually target to maintain a 25.0% unrestricted
fund balance percentage level as part of its annual budget process.
Use of Funds
While targeting to maintain an annual unrestricted fund balance of 25.0%, the City understands
there may be circumstances that warrant that the City use these funds temporarily. The City has
established the following instances where it may elect to use these funds:
• An economic downturn in which revenues are below budget
• Unexpected and unappropriated costs to service and maintain current City
operations
• Unexpected and non-budgeted emergencies, natural disaster costs, and/or litigation
• Grant matching
• Early retirement of debt
• To cover deficits in other funds due to a shortfall in budgeted revenues
• Capital asset acquisition, construction and improvement projects
The use of the unrestricted fund balance for the above permitted events which cause the
unrestricted fund balance to fall below the targeted 25% level will require a majority vote by
City Council. Use of the restricted fund balance which causes the unrestricted fund balance to fall
below the minimum required level of 17% will require a super majority vote by Council.
Terms for Replenishing
In instances where the City elects to use its unrestricted fund balance for capital asset acquisition,
construction and improvement projects, the City shall replenish the unrestricted fund balance
300 2015 Adopted Budget
to its previous level as soon as possible, but only after the City’s current operational needs
are met, and in no case, more than two years subsequent in which the unrestricted fund
balance was used. For any and all other instances, as permitted by this policy, in which the
City elects to use its unrestricted fund balance, the City will replenish the unrestricted fund
balance as soon as revenues are available, but only after the City’s current operational needs have
been met.
Excess Funds
In the event the City has accumulated its permitted, maximum unrestricted fund balance of
35.0%, the City, at the discretion and determination of City Council and the City Manager, will
designate such excess funds for the following purposes:
• Reserves for equipment replacement
• Repair and maintenance of City facilities
• Funding of infrastructure improvements
Review of Policy
The City Treasurer will review the Unrestricted Fund Balance Policy annually in connection with the
City’s annual budgeting process to ensure that the City is maintaining adequate unrestricted fund
balance levels. Additionally, at least every three years, the City Manager will review the policy and
will make recommendations for modification as deemed appropriate. This policy was written using
the guidelines set forth by the GFOA. As such, any updates issued by the GFOA shall be
considered by the City Manager when making recommendations for modifications to this
policy.

Vehicle Ownership Tax - A tax paid by owners of motor vehicles, trailers, semitrailers and trailer
coaches in lieu of any ad valorem taxes. The amount of the tax paid is a function of the class, age
