The 2021 proposed budget message, found on page 11 – 20 of the budget book, is included below:
OVERALL SUMMARY The total 2021 Proposed Budget, including the General Fund, the CIP Fund, seven special revenue funds, and the 2E Investing 4 the Future Bond Fund, is $59,510,798. The Budget is based on projected revenues of $56,681,062. The beginning fund balance for 2021 is projected at
$25,860,836 which brings the total available funds to $82,541,898. This will provide for a
projected ending fund balance of $23,031,100.
General Fund $37,608,550
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Fund $13,872,662
Special Revenue Funds $4,531,986
2E Investing 4 the Future Bond Fund $3,497,600
Total $59,510,798
General Fund General Fund revenue is projected at $36,283,879, which is a 4.6% decrease compared to 2020 year-end estimated revenues and an 11.7% decrease compared to the original 2020 budget. In
addition, the beginning fund balance for 2021 is projected at $14,447,757, which brings the total available funds for the General Fund to $50,731,636.
General Fund expenditures total $37,608,550 excluding transfers. General Fund expenditures
represent an 11.5% decrease compared to the adjusted 2020 Budget. The ending fund balance for the General Fund is projected at $11,823,086, of which $9,383,958 (25% of operating expenditures) is considered unrestricted. 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 and that the City will annually target to maintain a 25% unrestricted fund balance percentage level as part of its annual budget process.
Proposed 2021 Budget
October 1, 2020 (for Study Session of October 5, 2020)
Page 3
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Fund CIP Fund revenue is projected at $13,506,125 ($1,300,000 transferred from the General Fund), which is a 10.7% decrease compared to 2020 estimated revenue, mostly due to a decrease in transfers from the General Fund. In addition, the beginning fund balance for 2021 is projected at $3,422,098, which brings the total available funds for the CIP Fund to $16,928,223.
CIP expenditures total $13,872,662, which is a 31% decrease compared to the adjusted 2020
Budget. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of $3,055,561. The Proposed 2021 CIP budget includes the following projects:
• $12 million for construction of the first phase of Wadsworth Boulevard improvements
• $1.5 million for street preventative maintenance, primarily on 44th Avenue
• $150,000 for City-wide roadway striping
• $71,662 to reimburse the City of Edgewater for a drainage project at 26th and Fenton
• $50,000 for City-wide ADA infrastructure improvements
• $30,000 to update the Lena Gulch Master Plan
• $25,000 to update the Clear Creek Master Plan
• $25,000 for gateway signage at 26th Avenue and Kipling Street • $16,000 for municipal parking lot improvements
Special Revenue Fund – Open Space Open Space revenue is projected at $2,801,289, which is a 47% increase compared to the 2020 estimated revenue. The large increase is primarily due to anticipated grant revenue in 2021 of $762,970 and an increase in parkland dedication fees. The beginning fund balance for 2021 is projected at $2,658,220, which brings the total available funds for the Open Space Fund to
$5,459,509.
Open Space projects for 2021 include:
• The phase II renovation of Prospect Park
• Trail improvements from Prospect Park to West Bridge
• Open Space Master Plan
• Open Space and Park Maintenance Projects
Funding is also appropriated for seven parks maintenance and two forestry employees. Open
Space expenditures total $2,940,122, which is a 44% increase compared to the adjusted 2020 Budget. This will provide a projected ending fund balance of $2,519,387, of which $1,740,567 is restricted to park and trail improvements at the Wheat Ridge Ward station area and The Green on 38th Avenue.
The future five-year Open Space Budget proposes the continuation of miscellaneous open space improvements, improvements to Panorama Park tennis courts, Anderson Park playground replacement, and funding for Parks employees.
Special Revenue Fund – Conservation Trust Conservation Trust revenue is projected at $323,585, which is a 1.8% increase compared to the
Proposed 2021 Budget
October 1, 2020 (for Study Session of October 5, 2020)
Page 4
2020 estimated revenue. In addition, the beginning fund balance for 2021 is projected at
$263,445, which brings the total available funds for the Conservation Trust Fund to $587,030.
Conservation Trust projects for 2021 include:
• Recreation facilities maintenance projects
• Resurface of tennis and basketball courts
• Improvements to the median at 50th and Kipling
• Various projects to improve accessibility to parks amenities
• Parks maintenance projects
Conservation Trust expenditures total $344,750, which is a 59% decrease compared to the adjusted 2020 Budget. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of $242,280.
The future five-year Conservation Trust Budget proposes to provide funds for recreation facilities maintenance needs, parks maintenance projects, resurfacing of tennis/basketball courts, Apel Bacher playground replacement, and other facility improvements. Special Revenue Funds – Other
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 Public Art, Police Investigation, Municipal Court, Equipment Replacement, and Crime Prevention/Code Enforcement. 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.
2E Investing 4 the Future Fund The 2E Investing 4 the Future Fund was created in 2017 as a special fund to account for the 2E
bond and debt activity. 2021 revenues from the temporary 0.5% sales and use tax and interest are
projected at $4,270,924. In addition, the beginning fund balance for 2021 is projected at $4,250,804, which brings the total available funds for the 2E Fund to $8,521,728. 2E Fund expenditures total $3,497,600, all of which are designated for debt service on the 2E
bonds. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of $5,024,128. No project
expenditures are planned for 2021 as the City expects to expend its full allocation of project
expenses in 2020. A detailed explanation of the status of each project is included in the 2E section of this Budget. SHORT-TERM FISCAL CHALLENGES/OPPORTUNITIES Sales Tax and General Fund Revenue The 2020 estimated and 2021 proposed budgets project conservative revenue growth in consideration of the economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the
City has experienced positive growth in sales tax revenue compared to 2019, revenues have not
yet met 2020 projections.
Proposed 2021 Budget
October 1, 2020 (for Study Session of October 5, 2020)
Page 5
Sales tax, the City's largest revenue source, is projected to increase by 2.5% in 2020 compared to
2019 sales tax revenues and decrease by 2.9% compared to the 2020 adopted budget. The 2021 sales tax revenues are projected to increase less than 1% compared to the 2020 year-end estimate
and decrease 2.7% compared to the 2020 adopted budget accounting for only moderate growth due to new business activity at Wheat Ridge Corners and Clear Creek Crossing.
Overall, total General Fund revenue for 2021 is projected to decrease by 4.6% compared to 2020
year-end estimated revenue and decrease by 11.7% compared to the original 2020 budget. The decrease in 2021 revenues compared to the 2020 year-end estimates is largely due to the infusion of CARES Act revenue received in 2020 but not anticipated in 2021. These conservative projections include decreases to all categories of revenues compared to the original 2020 budget.
Parks and Recreation fee revenue has taken the biggest hit due to the COVID-19 pandemic and
the public health restrictions imposed upon the City. Because of social distancing requirements, many normal recreation activites had to be significantly curtailed or outright canceled in 2020, including the opening of the outdoor pool. Staff is projecting a gradual return to normal activities
in 2021 so revenue from Parks and Recreation fees will potentially increase over 2020 revenue but will still fall short of normal operations. Total Parks and Recreation fee revenue in 2020 is
estimated to decrease by 65% compared to both 2019 revenue and to the 2020 adopted budget.
2021 revenue is projected to rebound by about 83%, compared to 2020, but is estimated to still be about 37% below normal revenue.
Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act Funding
The City entered into an intergovernmental agreement with Jefferson County for the purpose of accepting $2,463,142 in CARES Act funding in 2020. CARES Act funding can be used to provide economic support to businesses and cover many types of expenses related to the City's response to the pandemic. All funds must be spent, in accordance with the United States
Department of Treasury guidance, by December 30, 2020. The City's spending plan for these
funds is as follows:
CARES Topic Expense Description Estimate
Economic Support Business Stability Grants, Business
Reopening Assistance Program, dedicated business promotional websites, signage, advertising
$625,000
Public Health Facility remodeling for social distancing and safety, personal protective equipment (PPE), sanitation, HVAC filtration
upgrades
$776,142

While there is some discussion at the federal level about additional assistance to governments and other public entities in 2021, nothing has been finalized at this time. The City will likely
incur some costs for the continued response to the pandemic and has budgeted $100,000 in the
Central Charges account for additional needs in 2021. Supplemental Budget Requests
The 2020 estimated and 2021 proposed budgets represent conservative revenue projections and
minimal expenditures sufficient to deliver quality services to the community, while maintaining a healthy fund balance, estimated at 25% of expenditures, at the conclusion of 2021. The
proposed 2021 budget excludes some vacant positions, reduces fleet vehicle replacement, further delays projects, cuts technological investments, and reduces staff training and development. Depending on 2020 year-end revenues and expenditures, management may present to Council
supplemental budget appropriation requests in 2021 in order to restore positions, projects,
technology, equipment, and training. A summary of proposed additions, depending on revenues, follows:
Category Amount Notes
Fill Vacant Positions $336,985 Amount represents full-year staffing for 5.75
positions. These include positions in Courts, Records, Planning and Administration.
Two Additional Police
Officers

approved in 2018. The developer was well underway in finalizing the leasing plan for potential
tenants to include retail, residential, hospitality, and entertainment prior to the pandemic. COVID-19 has certainly slowed this process, yet progress is still being made toward securing
major tenants for the development. SCL Health is continuing to move forward with designs for a new hospital at Clear Creek Crossing with construction potentially starting in 2021. Multifamily housing and a convenience store and gas station are currently under construction, and several
retail and restaurant buildings, as well as a hotel, are actively under City review. Other than
minor revenue estimates for the convenience store and gas station, no new sales tax revenue from this project is included in the 2021 budget. The Longs Peak Metropolitan District (LPMD) will reimburse the City $507,038 for the environmental assessment expense the City incurred over the last several years as well as construction costs over $10 million for the I-70 hook ramp
project. The reimbursement will occur when the LPMD issues bonds for the Clear Creek
Crossing project, of which the timing is uncertain due to the pandemic. Reimbursement revenue has not been factored into the 2021 budget. Once the project is fully built out, sales tax, lodging, admissions, and use tax revenue is projected to total $1.8 million annually.
The Corners at Wheat Ridge is still under construction, with full build-out anticipated sometime
in 2021/2022. The anchor tenant, Lucky's Market, opened on August 6, 2018 but filed for
bankruptcy and closed in early 2020. The owner and developer of the The Corners is actively working with prospective tenants to backfill the Lucky’s Market site and the City could potentially see new tenants in 2021. Raising Cane’s opened mid-year 2020 and is expected to
generate a respectable amount of sales tax revenue for the City.
WHEAT RIDGE 2035 VISION TOPICS AND SMART GOALS The Mayor, City Council, and staff work together periodically to develop and update a strategic plan that includes a vision, goals, and priorities. City Council met in the spring of 2017 and
developed an updated
Vision 2035 to include Vision Topics and Smart Goals. City Council was due to convene a planning session in March 2020 to determine strategic priorities; unfortunately, the pandemic caused Council to postpone that planning session until 2021. Staff used the most current vision topics to guide the development of and prioritize projects for the 2021 Budget.
Vision Topics:
1. Wheat Ridge is an attractive and inviting City 2. Wheat Ridge is a community for families 3. Wheat Ridge has great neighborhoods
4. Wheat Ridge has a choice of economically viable commercial areas
5. Wheat Ridge has diverse transportation 6. Wheat Ridge is committed to environmental stewardship 7. Wheat Ridge residents enjoy an active, healthy lifestyle 8. Wheat Ridge residents are proud of their hometown
Council's Smart Goals are outlined in the Vision and Goals section of this document. The
Proposed 2021 Budget includes several priority expenditures that play an important role in helping the City achieve its strategic vision.

DEBT At the regular general election held on November 8, 2016, the electorate of the City approved
ballot question 2E, which temporarily increased the sales and use tax levied by the City by one-half of one percent (3% to 3.5%) for up to 12 years or when $38.5 million is raised, whichever occurs first. It also authorized the issuance of debt to finance City investment in public
infrastructure to facilitate economic development opportunities. Sales and use tax revenue bonds
were issued on May 2, 2017, to finance four specific City investments, including Anderson Park, Wadsworth Boulevard, Wheat Ridge Ward Station development, and the Clear Creek Crossing development.
The par amount of the bond issue was $30,595,000 with a net premium of $2,687,079 for a total
of $33,282,079. Of this amount, $33 million was deposited into Fund 31 for the four specific
City investments, $152,975 was allocated for the underwriter's discount, and $129,104 for costs associated with the bond issue. The maximum repayment cost of the bonds will not exceed $38,500,000, and the maximum annual repayment cost will not exceed $3,700,000. In the Budget, $3,497,600 is budgeted for the 2021 annual debt service. The balance of the debt as of
December 31, 2021 will be $20,318,400. Based on current revenue estimates, the temporary
sales and use tax rate will expired in 2025 after 9 years. Additionally, the City has the following long-term financial obligations:
Renewal Wheat Ridge The City's Urban Renewal Authority (Renewal Wheat Ridge) is a component unit of the City. Renewal Wheat Ridge acquired a loan in the amount of $2.455 million, accruing interest at 3.16% per annum, for the Kipling Ridge commercial center development at 38th and Kipling.
The term of this loan expires in 2023 and will be paid from sales and property tax incremental
revenue from the Kipling Ridge project. The balance of the loan as of December 31, 2021, will
be $670,494.

Community Solar Garden
On March 23, 2015, the City entered into an agreement to purchase electric generating capacity in a solar garden. The agreement was funded on April 13, 2015, with a lease agreement for $800,000. As of December 31, 2019, the solar power capacity was recorded as capital assets in the amount of $592,180. Annual payments of $80,167, including principal and interest accruing at 5.75%, are due through May 1, 2030. As of December 31, 2021, the City will have a capital lease outstanding
amount of $464,470. For its participation, it is estimated the City will receive $50,000 in energy
credits from Xcel in 2020 to be used to pay this lease and against energy consumption at various facilities. Fruitdale School Lofts
In 2016, the City Council approved a loan in the amount of $2.585 million from General Fund
reserves to the Fruitdale School Partners. The loan was for the redevelopment of the Fruitdale School property into a mix of 16 market-rate and income-restricted rental housing units. Fruitdale School Partners repaid $1.5 million of the loan in 2018. The remaining $1,085,000 will be paid over
a 40-year period and, until that time, will remain as a restricted balance in the General Fund
reserves.
COMPENSATION, BENEFITS, AND STAFFING Compensation
Personnel-related expenses account for the largest portion of the City's Budget. Remaining
competitive to attract the best talent for the City and maintaining its investment in its team members is a high priority. In 2013, the City launched a compensation plan for full-time/part-time benefited employees that is financially sustainable and will help the City recruit and retain top talent. 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 market-based compensation plan, typically updated biennially, 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 seven-step plan, which includes police officer I and II positions. Due to the
pandemic, and consistent with peer communities, the City delayed the scheduled compensation plan update until 2021.
Employees will be eligible for a performance increase on January 1, 2021, based on how well
they meet the core values and competencies of the PMP system. However, in line with the conservative nature of the 2021 budget, the City will reduce the potential wage increases that employees can earn based on their performance. The 2021 proposed budget includes $436,000 for pay-for-performance and annual police department step increases; a decrease of 47% from
the 2020 budget.

Benefits
The City continues to provide a competitive benefits package to employees that include medical, dental, life, and disability benefits. Throughout the year, staff works closely with the City's benefits 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 experience a 2.6% decrease in 2021. Several key factors play a role in calculating the City's health care premium renewal, including the City's Wellness Program as a positive contributing factor. In 2021, the City will continue to offer the High Deductible Health Plan
(HDHP), and the Deductible HMO (DHMO) added in 2017. The HDHP plan was added in 2013
and is a consumer model of health care paired with a Health Savings Account (HSA). The goal of the consumer-driven HDHP and DHMO is to encourage employees to manage costs through the effective use of health care.
There will be no increases to dental insurance premiums, and the City will save premium costs on life and long-term disability while offering a greater short-term disability benefit. Overall, the
news is very positive for the City with regard to benefits renewals. The City currently contributes to a 401(a) retirement plan for nonsworn employees. Employees
contribute 4% to the Plan, and the City matches 6%. For sworn employees, the City contributes
10.5%, and employees contribute 10% to the Plan (sworn employees do not contribute to Social Security). As part of the sworn market analysis in 2019, it was determined that the City was at the time approximately 1.5% below market in terms of sworn pension contribution match. The 2020 budget included a 0.5% increase to the City's contribution in the amount of approximately
$35,000. An additional 0.5%, again approximately $35,000, is included in the 2021 budget to
bring the City's sworn pension contribution to 11%. The City may consider an additional increase in 2022 in order to remain competitive. Staffing
In 2020, the City's staffing level is at 240.125 FTE's. The proposed 2021 budget does not increase staffing. In order to remain fiscally conservative, 5.75 vacant positions remain unfunded in the 2021 budget and will be filled only if revenues allow. A Five-Year Staffing Plan for 2021-2025 is contained in the Staffing section of the budget.
Should the City's economic position continue to improve over current expectations, management
may request approval for the addition of a Crime Prevention Officer and School Resource Officer sometime in 2021. The City has typically operated with a very lean staff; however, as community expectations change, we must ensure the City has adequate staffing to meet those demands. This Plan will be evaluated annually to determine the most cost-effective way to
continue providing exceptional customer service and quality programs.
Conclusion and Acknowledgements 2020 has been an unprecedented year in many ways – the COVID-19 pandemic, economic

uncertainty, racial equity issues and increased homelessness concerns. I’m so thankful for the
leadership and support from the Mayor and City Council during these difficult times to guide us through these challenges. I’m also so proud of all of our team members, across all departments,
who didn’t miss a beat under all of these difficult circumstances and continued to provide quality programs and services to our residents. We are so fortunate to have such a dedicated workforce.
I’m still very optimistic about the future of Wheat Ridge, even as we are still overcoming all the
challenges that have come upon us this year. We’ve built a resilient local economy, developed prudent financial policies and set-aside adequate reserves which has enabled the City to continue to thrive in uncertain economic times. Many exciting opportunities – the Clear Creek Crossing development, Lutheran Legacy Campus redevelopment, continued improvements to the
Applewood Shopping Center, build-out of the Wheat Ridge-Ward TOD subarea, continued
resurgence of 38th Avenue as a vibrant main street and many other infill projects – are still before us. As a community, we are “In this Together” and I couldn’t be prouder of our accomplishments.

19 2021 Proposed Budget
Budget Message
September 23, 2020
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
I present to the Mayor and City Council the 2021 Proposed Budget. This Budget provides the framework
for providing services and programs to the residents of Wheat Ridge for the year 2021, based on the
delivery of core services and priorities identified in the City Council Strategic Plan.
OVERALL SUMMARY
The total 2021 Proposed Budget, including the General Fund, the CIP Fund, seven special revenue funds,
and the 2E Investing 4 the Future Bond Fund, is $59,510,798. The Budget is based on projected revenues
of $56,681,062. The beginning fund balance for 2021 is projected at $25,860,836 which brings the total
available funds to $82,541,898. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of $23,031,100.
General Fund $37,608,550
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Fund $13,872,662
Special Revenue Funds $4,531,986
2E Investing 4 the Future Bond Fund $3,497,600
Total $59,510,798
General Fund
General Fund revenue is projected at $36,283,879, which is a 4.6% decrease compared to 2020 year-end
estimated revenues and an 11.7% decrease compared to the original 2020 budget. In addition, the
beginning fund balance for 2021 is projected at $14,447,757, which brings the total available funds for
the General Fund to $50,731,636.
General Fund expenditures total $37,608,550 excluding transfers. General Fund expenditures represent
an 11.5% decrease compared to the adjusted 2020 Budget. The ending fund balance for the General
Fund is projected at $11,823,086, of which $9,383,958 (25% of operating expenditures) is considered
unrestricted. 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 and that the City will annually target to
maintain a 25% unrestricted fund balance percentage level as part of its annual budget process.
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Fund
CIP Fund revenue is projected at $13,506,125 ($1,300,000 transferred from the General Fund), which is
a 10.7% decrease compared to 2020 estimated revenue, mostly due to a decrease in transfers from the
General Fund. In addition, the beginning fund balance for 2021 is projected at $3,422,098, which brings
the total available funds for the CIP Fund to $16,928,223.
20 2021 Proposed Budget
CIP expenditures total $13,872,662, which is a 31% decrease compared to the adjusted 2020 Budget.
This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of $3,055,561.
The Proposed 2021 CIP budget includes the following projects:
•$12 million for construction of the first phase of Wadsworth Boulevard improvements
•$1.5 million for street preventative maintenance, primarily on 44th Avenue
•$150,000 for City-wide roadway striping
•$71,662 to reimburse the City of Edgewater for a drainage project at 26th and Fenton
•$50,000 for City-wide ADA infrastructure improvements
•$30,000 to update the Lena Gulch Master Plan
•$25,000 to update the Clear Creek Master Plan
•$25,000 for gateway signage at 26th Avenue and Kipling Street
•$16,000 for municipal parking lot improvements
Special Revenue Fund – Open Space
Open Space revenue is projected at $2,801,289, which is a 47% increase compared to the 2020
estimated revenue. The large increase is primarily due to anticipated grant revenue in 2021 of $762,970
and an increase in parkland dedication fees. The beginning fund balance for 2021 is projected at
$2,658,220, which brings the total available funds for the Open Space Fund to $5,459,509.
Open Space projects for 2021 include:
The phase II renovation of Prospect Park
Trail improvements from Prospect Park to West Bridge
Open Space Master Plan
Open Space and Park Maintenance Projects
Funding is also appropriated for seven parks maintenance and two forestry employees. Open Space
expenditures total $2,940,122, which is a 44% increase compared to the adjusted 2020 Budget. This will
provide a projected ending fund balance of $2,519,387, of which $1,740,567 is restricted to park and
trail improvements at the Wheat Ridge Ward station area and The Green on 38th Avenue.
The future five-year Open Space Budget proposes the continuation of miscellaneous open space
improvements, improvements to Panorama Park tennis courts, Anderson Park playground replacement,
and funding for Parks employees.
Special Revenue Fund – Conservation Trust
Conservation Trust revenue is projected at $323,585, which is a 1.8% increase compared to the 2020
estimated revenue. In addition, the beginning fund balance for 2021 is projected at $263,445, which
brings the total available funds for the Conservation Trust Fund to $587,030.
Conservation Trust projects for 2021 include:
Recreation facilities maintenance projects
Resurface of tennis and basketball courts
Improvements to the median at 50th and Kipling
Various projects to improve accessibility to parks amenities
11 2021 Proposed Budget
Parks maintenance projects
Conservation Trust expenditures total $344,750, which is a 59% decrease compared to the adjusted
2020 Budget. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of $242,280.
The future five-year Conservation Trust Budget proposes to provide funds for recreation facilities
maintenance needs, parks maintenance projects, resurfacing of tennis/basketball courts, Apel Bacher
playground replacement, and other facility improvements.
Special Revenue Funds – Other
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 Public Art, Police Investigation, Municipal Court, Equipment Replacement,
and Crime Prevention/Code Enforcement. 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.
2E Investing 4 the Future Fund
The 2E Investing 4 the Future Fund was created in 2017 as a special fund to account for the 2E bond and
debt activity. 2021 revenues from the temporary 0.5% sales and use tax and interest are projected at
$4,270,924. In addition, the beginning fund balance for 2021 is projected at $4,250,804, which brings
the total available funds for the 2E Fund to $8,521,728.
2E Fund expenditures total $3,497,600, all of which are designated for debt service on the 2E bonds.
This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of $5,024,128. No project expenditures are
planned for 2021 as the City expects to expend its full allocation of project expenses in 2020. A detailed
explanation of the status of each project is included in the 2E section of this Budget.
SHORT-TERM FISCAL CHALLENGES/OPPORTUNITIES
Sales Tax and General Fund Revenue
The 2020 estimated and 2021 proposed budgets project conservative revenue growth in consideration
of the economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the City has experienced
positive growth in sales tax revenue compared to 2019, revenues have not yet met 2020 projections.
Sales tax, the City's largest revenue source, is projected to increase by 2.5% in 2020 compared to 2019
sales tax revenues and decrease by 2.9% compared to the 2020 adopted budget. The 2021 sales tax
revenues are projected to increase less than 1% compared to the 2020 year-end estimate and decrease
2.7% compared to the 2020 adopted budget accounting for only moderate growth due to new business
activity at Wheat Ridge Corners and Clear Creek Crossing.
Overall, total General Fund revenue for 2021 is projected to decrease by 4.6% compared to 2020 year-
end estimated revenue and decrease by 11.7% compared to the original 2020 budget. The decrease in
2021 revenues compared to the 2020 year-end estimates is largely due to the infusion of CARES Act
revenue received in 2020 but not anticipated in 2021. These conservative projections include decreases
to all categories of revenues compared to the original 2020 budget.
12 2021 Proposed Budget
Parks and Recreation fee revenue has taken the biggest hit due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the
public health restrictions imposed upon the City. Because of social distancing requirements, many
normal recreation activites had to be significantly curtailed or outright canceled in 2020, including the
opening of the outdoor pool. Staff is projecting a gradual return to normal activities in 2021 so revenue
from Parks and Recreation fees will potentially increase over 2020 revenue but will still fall short of
normal operations. Total Parks and Recreation fee revenue in 2020 is estimated to decrease by 65%
compared to both 2019 revenue and to the 2020 adopted budget. 2021 revenue is projected to rebound
by about 83%, compared to 2020, but is estimated to still be about 37% below normal revenue.
Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act Funding
The City entered into an intergovernmental agreement with Jefferson County for the purpose of
accepting $2,463,142 in CARES Act funding in 2020. CARES Act funding can be used to provide economic
support to businesses and cover many types of expenses related to the City's response to the pandemic.
All funds must be spent, in accordance with the United States Department of Treasury guidance, by
December 30, 2020. The City's spending plan for these funds is as follows:
While there is some discussion at the federal level about additional assistance to governments and other
public entities in 2021, nothing has been finalized at this time. The City will likely incur some costs for
the continued response to the pandemic and has budgeted $100,000 in the Central Charges account for
additional needs in 2021.

healthy fund balance, estimated at 25% of expenditures, at the conclusion of 2021. The proposed 2021
budget excludes some vacant positions, reduces fleet vehicle replacement, further delays projects, cuts
technological investments, and reduces staff training and development. Depending on 2020 year-end
revenues and expenditures, management may present to Council supplemental budget appropriation
requests in 2021 in order to restore positions, projects, technology, equipment, and training. A summary
of proposed additions, depending on revenues, follows:
Category Amount Notes
Fill Vacant Positions $336,985 Amount represents full-year staffing for 5.75 positions.
These include positions in Courts, Records, Planning and
Administration.
Two Additional Police Officers $151,869 Crime Prevention Officer and School Resource Officer
Vehicle Replacement
Program
$291,500 Seven vehicles have been deferred.
Projects $328,500 Projects include the 44th Corridor Plan, Enterprise
Resource Planning project, relocation of a server room
and Prospect Park water quality management.
Technology $182,500 Items include facility management software, security
cameras, audio/visual equipment, and battery backup
devices.
Other Equipment $140,272 Includes mowers, aerators, Active Adult Center oven,
office furniture, and recreation equipment
Training and Development $57,400 Various training City-wide to maintain and develop skills
TOTAL $1,489,026
Redevelopment Projects
The Clear Creek Crossing project entitlements and public finance agreements were finalized and
approved in 2018. The developer was well underway in finalizing the leasing plan for potential tenants
to include retail, residential, hospitality, and entertainment prior to the pandemic. COVID-19 has
certainly slowed this process, yet progress is still being made toward securing major tenants for the
development. SCL Health is continuing to move forward with designs for a new hospital at Clear Creek
Crossing with construction potentially starting in 2021. Multifamily housing and a convenience store and
gas station are currently under construction, and several retail and restaurant buildings, as well as a
hotel, are actively under City review. Other than minor revenue estimates for the convenience store and
gas station, no new sales tax revenue from this project is included in the 2021 budget. The Longs Peak
Metropolitan District (LPMD) will reimburse the City $507,038 for the environmental assessment
expense the City incurred over the last several years as well as construction costs over $10 million for
the I-70 hook ramp project. The reimbursement will occur when the LPMD issues bonds for the Clear
Creek Crossing project, of which the timing is uncertain due to the pandemic. Reimbursement revenue
has not been factored into the 2021 budget. Once the project is fully built out, sales tax, lodging,
admissions, and use tax revenue is projected to total $1.8 million annually.
The Corners at Wheat Ridge is still under construction, with full build-out anticipated sometime in
2021/2022. The anchor tenant, Lucky's Market, opened on August 6, 2018 but filed for bankruptcy and
closed in early 2020. The owner and developer of the The Corners is actively working with prospective
14 2021 Proposed Budget
tenants to backfill the Lucky’s Market site and the City could potentially see new tenants in 2021. Raising
Cane’s opened mid-year 2020 and is expected to generate a respectable amount of sales tax revenue for
the City.
WHEAT RIDGE 2035 VISION TOPICS AND SMART GOALS
The Mayor, City Council, and staff work together periodically to develop and update a strategic plan that
includes a vision, goals, and priorities. City Council met in the spring of 2017 and developed an updated
Vision 2035 to include Vision Topics and Smart Goals. City Council was due to convene a planning
session in March 2020 to determine strategic priorities; unfortunately, the pandemic caused Council to
postpone that planning session until 2021. Staff used the most current vision topics to guide the
development of and prioritize projects for the 2021 Budget.
Vision Topics:
1.Wheat Ridge is an attractive and inviting City
2.Wheat Ridge is a community for families
3.Wheat Ridge has great neighborhoods
4.Wheat Ridge has a choice of economically viable commercial areas
5.Wheat Ridge has diverse transportation
6.Wheat Ridge is committed to environmental stewardship
7.Wheat Ridge residents enjoy an active, healthy lifestyle
8.Wheat Ridge residents are proud of their hometown
Council's Smart Goals are outlined in the Vision and Goals section of this document. The Proposed 2021
Budget includes several priority expenditures that play an important role in helping the City achieve its
strategic vision.
Strategic Priorities:
Urban renewal funding for Renewal Wheat Ridge (RWR) projects $300,000
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) – Kipling Ridge, Wheat Ridge Corners, Swiss Flower, West End 38,

DEBT
At the regular general election held on November 8, 2016, the electorate of the City approved ballot
question 2E, which temporarily increased the sales and use tax levied by the City by one-half of one
percent (3% to 3.5%) for up to 12 years or when $38.5 million is raised, whichever occurs first. It also
authorized the issuance of debt to finance City investment in public infrastructure to facilitate economic
development opportunities. Sales and use tax revenue bonds were issued on May 2, 2017, to finance
16 2021 Proposed Budget
four specific City investments, including Anderson Park, Wadsworth Boulevard, Wheat Ridge Ward
Station development, and the Clear Creek Crossing development.
The par amount of the bond issue was $30,595,000 with a net premium of $2,687,079 for a total of
$33,282,079. Of this amount, $33 million was deposited into Fund 31 for the four specific City
investments, $152,975 was allocated for the underwriter's discount, and $129,104 for costs associated
with the bond issue. The maximum repayment cost of the bonds will not exceed $38,500,000, and the
maximum annual repayment cost will not exceed $3,700,000. In the Budget, $3,497,600 is budgeted for
the 2021 annual debt service. The balance of the debt as of December 31, 2021 will be $20,318,400.
Based on current revenue estimates, the temporary sales and use tax rate will expired in 2025 after 9
years.
Additionally, the City has the following long-term financial obligations:
Renewal Wheat Ridge
The City's Urban Renewal Authority (Renewal Wheat Ridge) is a component unit of the City. Renewal
Wheat Ridge acquired a loan in the amount of $2.455 million, accruing interest at 3.16% per annum, for
the Kipling Ridge commercial center development at 38th and Kipling. The term of this loan expires in
2023 and will be paid from sales and property tax incremental revenue from the Kipling Ridge project.
The balance of the loan as of December 31, 2021, will be $670,494.
Community Solar Garden
On March 23, 2015, the City entered into an agreement to purchase electric generating capacity in a solar
garden. The agreement was funded on April 13, 2015, with a lease agreement for $800,000. As of
December 31, 2019, the solar power capacity was recorded as capital assets in the amount of $592,180.
Annual payments of $80,167, including principal and interest accruing at 5.75%, are due through May 1,
2030. As of December 31, 2021, the City will have a capital lease outstanding amount of $464,470. For its
participation, it is estimated the City will receive $50,000 in energy credits from Xcel in 2020 to be used to
pay this lease and against energy consumption at various facilities.
Fruitdale School Lofts
In 2016, the City Council approved a loan in the amount of $2.585 million from General Fund reserves to
the Fruitdale School Partners. The loan was for the redevelopment of the Fruitdale School property into a
mix of 16 market-rate and income-restricted rental housing units. Fruitdale School Partners repaid $1.5
million of the loan in 2018. The remaining $1,085,000 will be paid over a 40-year period and, until that
time, will remain as a restricted balance in the General Fund reserves.
COMPENSATION, BENEFITS, AND STAFFING
Compensation
Personnel-related expenses account for the largest portion of the City's Budget. Remaining competitive
to attract the best talent for the City and maintaining its investment in its team members is a high
priority. In 2013, the City launched a compensation plan for full-time/part-time benefited employees
that is financially sustainable and will help the City recruit and retain top talent. 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
17 2021 Proposed Budget
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 market-based compensation plan, typically updated biennially, 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 seven-step plan, which includes police officer I and II positions. Due to the pandemic, and
consistent with peer communities, the City delayed the scheduled compensation plan update until 2021.
Employees will be eligible for a performance increase on January 1, 2021, based on how well they meet
the core values and competencies of the PMP system. However, in line with the conservative nature of
the 2021 budget, the City will reduce the potential wage increases that employees can earn based on
their performance. The 2021 proposed budget includes $436,000 for pay-for-performance and annual
police department step increases; a decrease of 47% from the 2020 budget.
Benefits
The City continues to provide a competitive benefits package to employees that include medical, dental,
life, and disability benefits. Throughout the year, staff works closely with the City's benefits 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 experience a 2.6% decrease in 2021. Several key factors play a role in calculating the City's health
care premium renewal, including the City's Wellness Program as a positive contributing factor. In 2021,
the City will continue to offer the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), and the Deductible HMO (DHMO)
added in 2017. The HDHP plan was added in 2013 and is a consumer model of health care paired with a
Health Savings Account (HSA). The goal of the consumer-driven HDHP and DHMO is to encourage
employees to manage costs through the effective use of health care.
There will be no increases to dental insurance premiums, and the City will save premium costs on life
and long term disability while offering a greater short-term disability benefit. Overall, the news is very
positive for the City with regard to benefits renewals.
The City currently contributes to a 401(a) retirement plan for nonsworn employees. Employees
contribute 4% to the Plan, and the City matches 6%. For sworn employees, the City contributes 10.5%,
and employees contribute 10% to the Plan (sworn employees do not contribute to Social Security). As
part of the sworn market analysis in 2019, it was determined that the City was at the time approximately
1.5% below market in terms of sworn pension contribution match. The 2020 budget included a 0.5%
increase to the City's contribution in the amount of approximately $35,000. An additional 0.5%, again
approximately $35,000, is included in the 2021 budget to bring the City's sworn pension contribution to
11%. The City may consider an additional increase in 2022 in order to remain competitive.
18 2021 Proposed Budget
Staffing
In 2020, the City's staffing level is at 240.125 FTE's. The proposed 2021 budget does not increase
staffing. In order to remain fiscally conservative, 5.75 vacant positions remain unfunded in the 2021
budget and will be filled only if revenues allow.
A Five-Year Staffing Plan for 2021-2025 is contained in the Staffing section of the budget. Should the
City's economic position continue to improve over current expectations, management may request
approval for the addition of a Crime Prevention Officer and School Resource Officer sometime in 2021.
The City has typically operated with a very lean staff; however, as community expectations change, we
must ensure the City has adequate staffing to meet those demands. This Plan will be evaluated annually
to determine the most cost-effective way to continue providing exceptional customer service and
quality programs.
Conclusion and Acknowledgements
2020 has been an unprecedented year in many ways – the COVID-19 pandemic, economic uncertainty,
racial equity issues and increased homelessness concerns. I’m so thankful for the leadership and support
from the Mayor and City Council during these difficult times to guide us through these challenges. I’m
also so proud of all of our team members, across all departments, who didn’t miss a beat under all of
these difficult circumstances and continued to provide quality programs and services to our residents.
We are so fortunate to have such a dedicated workforce.
I’m still very optimistic about the future of Wheat Ridge, even as we are still overcoming all the
challenges that have come upon us this year. We’ve built a resilient local economy, developed prudent
financial policies and set-aside adequate reserves which has enabled the City to continue to thrive in
uncertain economic times. Many exciting opportunities – the Clear Creek Crossing development,
Lutheran Legacy Campus redevelopment, continued improvements to the Applewood Shopping Center,
build-out of the Wheat Ridge-Ward TOD subarea, continued resurgence of 38th Avenue as a vibrant
mainstreet and many other infill projects – are still before us. As a community, we are “In this Together”
and I couldn’t be more proud of our accomplishments.
Special thanks go out to Alli Scheck for taking the lead on the 2021 Budget and to her budget team
including Marianne Schilling, Mark Colvin, Amber Garrett, Allison Lewis and all department budget staff.

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 conference and event center. The Recreation Center Fund was established by
City Council when Wheat Ridge voters approved an increase to the sales and use tax rate in
November of 1997 to fund the construction and operation of a public recreation center. The ½%
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.
The Recreation Center Fund was not financially self-sufficient and did not account for internal
services such as information technology and human resources costs, which were covered under the
General Fund. Furthermore, as the center aged and as personnel and operational costs increased,
the City covered excess annual expenditures with the Fund’s remaining balance.
The costs of Recreation Center operations, revenues, and expenditures were accounted for in the
General Fund beginning in 2020.
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 City’s storm water drainage network lacks sufficient facilities, with a primary focus
on storm sewers. Much of the existing system is also aging and falling into disrepair. This
budget allocates funding each year to address identified needs related to storm water. In
2020, the City partnered with the City of Edgewater to replace damaged and clogged
drainage pipes and inlets at 26th Avenue and Fenton Street. The work has been
completed and the City will be reimbursing the City of Edgewater for the City’s share of
the work in 2021.

The 26th Avenue and Fenton Street drainage enhancements will benefit adjacent

runoff and water damage to both public and private properties. The project replaces
aging, damaged and clogged drainage pipes and inlets.

The current master plan was adopted in 2008 and does not reflect the new flows from a
hydrology study that was started in 2020. The floodplain maps for Lena Gulch will be
revised based on that study and should be finalized in mid-2021. Once that is completed,
the master plan can be updated to reflect the revised maps. The master plan update will
identify future flood mitigation projects to reduce flood risks to properties along Lena
Gulch. The City is working jointly with the cities of Golden and Lakewood, Jefferson

including both the removal of some properties from the regulatory floodplain and
reduced flood insurance premiums. Reduced flood risk may encourage investment in
properties.

Maintenance and upkeep of the City’s pavement markings are essential to overall traffic
safety. These include centerline and lane markings, crosswalks, intersections and bicycle
lanes. With the City’s commitment to improving multi-modal transportation options,
continued upkeep of pavement markings is important, especially with the
implementation of bicycle lanes. Project priority is given to maintaining striping on
roadways with high traffic volumes and/or bike lanes. Additional funds are budgeted in
2021 because striping maintenance was deferred in 2020 due to COVID-19.

Each year, the City performs a variety of preventative maintenance projects to maintain
the City’s roadway infrastructure of over 100 miles. The City utilizes a pavement
management system that provides a systematic ranking of street conditions and
rehabilitation strategies that include crack sealing, slurry sealing, and mill and overlay
projects. The intent is to provide the best maintenance practices at the appropriate time
to effectively maintain and prolong the life of the City’s critical street infrastructure
investment. In 2021, the proposed programs are 44th Avenue – Dover to Kipling, and
other local streets. In 2022, the program will include Ridge Road – Nelson to Parfet, 29th
Avenue – Sheridan to Fenton, Youngfield Street – 32nd to 44th

184 2021 Proposed Budget
In November 2016, Wheat Ridge voters approved ballot question 2E, a temporary 0.5% increase to
the City’s sales and use tax rate, in order to fund investments that would improve transportation
infrastructure, create opportunities for economic development and enable additional
“placemaking” to attract those wanting to live in Wheat Ridge. In 2017, City Council adopted
Resolution 02-2017 establishing a restricted 2E fund as defined by GASB No. 54 to segregate
revenues and expenditures for the 2E projects. In the spring of 2017, the City sold $33 million in
bonds for the following four projects.
Improvements to Anderson Park
•Status: Project complete
•2E funds spent: $4,599,945
This project included a complete renovation and
modernization of the Anderson Building which
reconfigured the space to allow for additional
programming and improved the locker rooms for the
outdoor pool. The project also improved the sports fields,
installed new baseball field lights, constructed a new
performance pavilion, created new access to Clear Creek,
built new trails and resurfaced the parking lots.
Clear Creek Crossing Access Ramps
•Status: Substantially complete
•2E funds spent through 2020: $19,751,371
The City initially allocated $10 million of 2E funds
towards construction of the on and off ramps from
I-70 to the Clear Creek Crossing mixed-use
development. The initial $10 million was spent
between 2017 and August, 2020. A provision in the
City’s intergovernmental agreement with Longs
Peak Metropolitan District (LPMD) specifies the City
will pay the total cost of the access ramp project and be reimbursed for all expenses above $10
million once bonds are issued by LPMD. Due to the economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-
19 pandemic, LPMD has not yet issued bonds to repay the City. Therefore, the City diverted
funds from the Wheat Ridge · Ward Station project to complete the access ramps at Clear Creek
Crossing.
185 2021 Proposed Budget
In addition to the access ramps, several private developments are underway at Clear Creek
Crossing including construction of multifamily housing, a convenience store and gas station, and
the headquarters for a local credit union. Several retail and restaurant buildings as well as a
hotel are actively under the City’s review, and SCL Health expects to complete the design for its
new hospital campus in 2021. Clear Creek Crossing is an exciting mixed use development for the
City that will generate economic and recreational benefits for years to come.
Wadsworth Improvement Project
•Status: Design complete. Right-of-way acquisitions underway
•2E Funds Spent through 2020: $7,000,000
In April 2016, the City of Wheat Ridge
initiated the improvement project for
Wadsworth Boulevard between 35th
Avenue and I-70. The first phase, an
Environmental Assessment, was completed
in 2019 with input from the local
community. Design is now complete and
the majority of right-of-way necessary to
complete the project has been purchased
or is scheduled for closing. The first phase
of the project from 41st Avenue to I-70 will
be put out to bid in December 2020. The first phase of construction estimated at $45 million,
will begin in early 2021. Seven million of 2E funding, along with $640,000 of additional City
funds, was used to provide the City’s local match for two federal transportation grants in the
amount of $25.28 and $5.28 million. Additionally, the City was awarded a federal safety
grant with a CDOT match for a total of $2.6 million. CDOT has also committed several million
in funding towards the project. Funding for this project in 2021 and 2022 is budgeted in the
Capital Improvement Program budget.
Wheat Ridge · Ward Station
•Status: Designs and right-of-way acquisitions
underway
•2E Funds Spent through 2020: $2,601,413
The City originally allocated $12 million of 2E funds to
address traffic and multi-modal transportation needs
to facilitate redevelopment and economic
development opportunities in the area surrounding
the G Line commuter rail station. Designs for street
improvements are complete. Designs for a pedestrian
bridge, plaza and trail from the station area south to the I-70 frontage are 30% complete.
Additionally, the annexation of 52nd Avenue from Jefferson County is also complete.
Construction will begin once funds diverted to Clear Creek Crossing have been repaid to the City
by LPMD. Private investments are ongoing with townhomes and apartments under construction
and under review by Toll Brothers, Remington Homes, and the Forum Group.

188 2021 Proposed Budget
Pay-for-Performance Compensation Plan
The City’s compensation plan for full-time/part-time benefitted employees is designed as a
financially sustainable plan that will help recruit and retain top talent. Additionally, the
compensation plan is market-based and fully aligned with the City’s performance management
plan (PMP), and is reflective of an overall pay-for-performance system of total rewards. The City’s
pay-for-performance model is consistent with the culture and commitment to the City’s core
values of A.C.T.I.O.N! (Accountability, Change, Teamwork, Integrity, Opportunity, Now!). It is
important for the City to reward employees who exemplify these core values and help achieve
the City’s strategic results.
The City’s 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 compensation plan consists of three 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, and 3) an open range plan for traditionally non-benefited part-
time employees.
Market Survey Update - the City conducted a biennial market analysis update in 2018 to see how
the City’s pay practices compare to other municipalities in the Denver/Boulder market. Changes
were effective in 2019 to ensure the City is competitive with the Denver/Boulder market. The
City planned to complete a market analysis in 2020 which was postponed due to the COVID-19
health emergency. As such, pay ranges have not increased for the 2021 fiscal year.
189 2021 Proposed Budget
Following the performance evaluation due dates scheduled in the fall of 2020, employees may
receive an increase based on how they met the core values and competencies of the PMP system.
Performance increases are not guaranteed. 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.

Financial Policies
CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE
ACCOUNTING, BUDGETING AND FINANCIAL POLICIES 2020
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
278 2021 Proposed Budget
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.
279 2021 Proposed 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 Improvement 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 was a governmental fund, discontinued in 2020, whereby the expense
of providing goods and services to the general public on a continuing basis was financed or
recovered primarily through user charges. However, the Recreation Center Fund was not self‐
sufficient and did not account for internal services such as information technology and human
resources costs which were covered under the General Fund. Now that user charges are
insufficient to cover the operations of the Recreation Center Fund, Recreation Center revenues
and expenditures were accounted for in the General Fund beginning in 2020.
A chart depicting the City’s Governmental Fund Types is included on the next page.

Debt Management Policy
The City Council adopted a Debt Management Policy in June of 2011. This policy is included in this
section of the budget document.
Unrestricted Fund Balance Policy
The City Council adopted an Unrestricted Fund Balance Policy in June of 2011. This policy is
included in this section of the budget document.
282 2021 Proposed 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
283 2021 Proposed 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
284 2021 Proposed 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.
285 2021 Proposed Budget
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
286 2021 Proposed 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.

County and each political and governmental subdivision bears in relation to all the property taxes
collected in the County.
