Budget Message
November 25, 2019
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
I present to the Mayor and City Council the 2020 Adopted Budget. This Budget provides the framework
for providing services and programs to the citizens of Wheat Ridge for the year 2020, based on the
delivery of core services and priorities identified in the City Council Strategic Plan.
OVERALL SUMMARY
The total 2020 Budget including the General Fund, the CIP Fund, seven special revenue funds and
the 2E Investing 4 the Future Bond Fund is $76,928,656. The Budget is based on projected revenues
of $64,374,089. The beginning fund balance for 2020 is projected at $29,609,844, which brings the
total available funds to $93,983,933. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of
$17,055,277.
General Fund $39,435,240
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Fund $18,361,877
Special Revenue Funds $4,022,231
2E Investing 4 the Future Bond Fund $15,109,308
Total $76,928,656
General Fund
General Fund revenue is projected at $39,870,759, which is a 10% increase compared to 2019 year-
end estimated revenues and a 12% increase compared to what was originally budgeted in 2019. In
addition, the beginning fund balance for 2020 is projected at $13,209,311 which brings the total
available funds for the General Fund to $53,080,070.
General Fund expenditures total $39,435,240 excluding transfers. General Fund expenditures
represent a 7.9% increase compared to the adjusted 2019 Budget. The ending fund balance for the
General Fund is projected at $9,944,830 of which $7,404,800 (18.8% 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.
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Fund
CIP Fund revenue is projected at $18,231,059 ($3,600,000 transferred from the General Fund) which
is a 127% increase compared to the 2019 estimated revenue. In addition, the beginning fund
balance for 2020 is projected at $254,015, which brings the total available funds for the CIP Fund to
$18,485,074.
10 2020 Adopted Budget
CIP expenditures total $18,361,877, which is an 87% increase compared to the adjusted 2019
Budget. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of $123,197.
The 2020 CIP budget includes the following projects:
•$14.1 million for completion of construction plans, ROW acquisition and initial construction
for the Wadsworth Blvd. widening project
•$1.8 million for street preventative maintenance, primarily on Upham St. 44th Ave., 43rd Dr.

Special Revenue Fund – Open Space
Open Space revenue is projected at $2,238,070 which is a 19% decrease compared to the 2019
estimated revenue. The large decrease is primarily due to a transfer in the amount of $900,000 in
2019 from the General Fund for The Green project. The beginning fund balance for 2020 is
projected at $924,170, which brings the total available funds for the Open Space Fund to
$3,162,240.
Open Space projects for 2020 include:
•Construction of “The Green” community plaza
•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 workers and the Forestry and Open Space
Supervisor. Open Space expenditures total $2,016,941, which is a 47% decrease compared to the
11 2020 Adopted Budget
adjusted 2019 Budget. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of $1,145,299, of which
$305,732 is restricted to park and trail improvements at the Wheat Ridge Ward station area.
The future five-year Open Space Budget proposes the continuation of miscellaneous open space
improvements, parks maintenance projects including improvements to Panorama Park tennis courts
and Anderson Park parking lot, Prospect Park improvements and funding for Parks employees.
Special Revenue Fund – Conservation Trust
Conservation Trust revenue is projected at $340,000, which is an 11% decrease compared to the
2019 estimated revenue. In addition, the beginning fund balance for 2020 is projected at $524,545,
which brings the total available funds for the Conservation Trust Fund to $864,545.
Conservation Trust projects for 2020 include:
•Prospect Park renovation Phase II
•Recreation Center maintenance projects
•New playground at Bonnie’s Park
•Resurface of tennis and basketball courts at Panorama Park
•Parks maintenance projects
Conservation Trust expenditures total $821,950, which is a 171% increase compared to the adjusted
2019 Budget. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of $42,595.
The future five-year Conservation Trust Budget proposes to provide funds for Recreation Center
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.
Special Revenue Fund – Recreation Center
Prior to 2020, Recreation Center revenues and expenditures were reported in a Special Revenue Fund
64. 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 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.
The Recreation Center Fund has never been fully, financially self-sufficient as it 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
12 2020 Adopted Budget
increased, annual expenditures in excess of revenues were funded from Recreation Center Fund’s
reserves. The reserves are now nearly depleted, therefore all revenues and expenditures associated
with the Recreation Center will be budgeted in the General Fund.
The estimated 2019 year-end balance of the Recreation Center Fund is $70,977. With the dissolution
of the Recreation Center Special Revenue Fund, the balance will be transferred to the General Fund.
Recreation Center related revenues are projected to be $2,160,506 and expenditures are projected
to be $2,480,355 in 2020.
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. 2020 revenues from the 0.5% sales and use tax, interest and reimbursements are
projected at $6,368,506. In addition, the beginning fund balance for 2020 is projected at
$13,774,087 which brings the total available funds for the 2E Fund to $20,142,593
2E Fund expenditures total $15,109,308, of which $11,610,508 is for 2E project expenditures and
$3,498,800 is for debt service on the 2E bonds. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance
of $5,033,285
2E Investing 4 the Future projects for 2020 include:
•Reconstruction of streets adjacent to the Wheat Ridge Ward Station including Ridge Road,
52nd Avenue, Tabor Street and linear park and pedestrian bridge
•Acquisition of right-of-way and construction required for the reconstruction of Wadsworth
Boulevard
SHORT-TERM FISCAL CHALLENGES/OPPORTUNITIES
Sales Tax and General Fund Revenue
Sales tax, the City’s largest revenue source, for 2020 is projected to increase by 5.25% compared to
2019 estimated revenue. Approximately 70% of this increase is attributed to new businesses at the
Applewood Shopping Center including Hobby Lobby, HomeGoods, Ulta, Sierra Trading Post and
Hacienda Colorado. The remaining increase represents a modest 1.5% projection over estimated
year-end sales tax revenues, accounting for the threat of an economic downtown in 2020. Overall,
total General Fund revenue for 2020 is projected to increase by 10% compared to 2019 year-end
estimated revenue and increase by 12% compared to the original 2019 budget. Aside from the sales
tax increase described above, this is largely due to the increase of building-related use tax and other
fees.
Redevelopment Projects
Walmart closed its doors in Wheat Ridge on July 7, 2017. Regency Centers, the owner of the
Applewood Shopping Center where Walmart was located, has backfilled the vacant Walmart with
four national retail tenants including Hobby Lobby, Ulta, HomeGoods and Sierra Trading Post. All
four new retail establishments are expected to be open by the end of 2019. These four tenants are
13 2020 Adopted Budget
projected to generate between $800,000 and $900,000 in sales tax revenue annually and should
have a positive impact on the sales of other retail tenants in the center.
The Corners at Wheat Ridge is still under construction, with full build-out anticipated sometime in
2020. The anchor tenant, Lucky’s Market, opened on August 6, 2018 and several other retail
tenants opened in 2018 and 2019. When the project is fully built out, an additional 75,000 sq. ft. of
commercial retail space will be added to the City. The project is projected to generate
approximately $650,000 in sales tax revenue annually. The 2020 budget includes approximately
$600,000 in revenue from The Corners project.
The Clear Creek Crossing project entitlements and public finance agreement were finalized and
approved in 2018. The developer is finalizing the leasing plan for potential tenants to include retail,
residential, a medical campus, hospitality and entertainment. Portions of the retail component of
the project will likely open at the end of 2020. No new sales tax revenue from this project is
included in the 2020 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 for
the I-70 hook ramp project. The reimbursement will occur when the LPMD issues bonds for the
Clear Creek Crossing project, likely in 2020. This reimbursement revenue has not been factored into
the 2020 budget. Once the project is fully built out, sales tax, lodging, admissions and use tax
revenue is projected to total $1.8 million annually.
Several other commercial redevelopment projects across the City are projected to increase sales tax
revenue starting sometime in 2020. Additional restaurant, fast casual food options and retail will be
constructed across the City including a fast casual restaurant at the Applewood Shopping Center, a
mixed-use retail building at the Kipling Ridge project and other neighborhood commercial retail
options at the West End 38 project. In total, all projects are projected to generate approximately
$150,000 to $200,000 in tax revenue annually which has not been accounted for in the 2020
budget.

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 G Line 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 maximum annual repayment cost will not exceed $3,700,000. In the budget,
$3,498,800 is budgeted for the 2020 annual debt service.

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, 2019, will be $1.3 million.
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. The
solar power capacity is recorded as capital assets in the amount of $776,628. A portion of the loan
proceeds was used to pay issuance costs of $23,372. Annual payments of $80,167, including principal
and interest accruing at 5.75%, are due through May 1, 2030. As of December 31, 2019, the City has a
capital lease outstanding amount of $624,825. For its participation, it is estimated the City will receive
$52,000 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 maintain investment in its people is a high
priority. In 2013, the City launched a new 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, 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. Employees will be eligible
for a performance increase on January 1, 2020, based on how well they meet the core values and
competencies of the PMP system.
17 2020 Adopted Budget
As pay ranges have shifted in recent years due to the strong economy and increases to Colorado’s
minimum wage, performance-based compensation adjustments have not kept pace with market
adjustments in some circumstances. This has resulted in some high-performing employees
progressing very slowly in the pay range, thus placing the City at risk for high turnover. To address
this compression, the 2020 budget includes compensation adjustments to account for employee
compression for those high-performing employees in the open range plan. Also included is an
adjustment to steps one and seven in the police department sworn step plan to keep pace with
surrounding municipalities and maintain Wheat Ridge’s competitiveness. The 2020 budget includes
$830,000 for pay-for-performance increases, compression adjustments for high performing
employees and annual police department step increases.
Benefits
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 experience a 4.6% increase in 2020. The City did not experience an increase in 2019.
There are several key factors that play a role in calculating the City’s health care premium renewal.
The City’s Wellness Program is a positive contributing factor to the minimal premium increase.
Historically, the City’s premium increases ranged from 10 – 15%, which continues to be the market
average. The City will continue to encourage enrollment and active participation in the Wellness
Program. There will be no increases to the dental, life and short-term disability premiums in 2020.
In 2020, 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 effective use of health care.
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, both the City 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 is approximately 1.5%
below market in terms of sworn pension contribution match. The 2020 budget includes a 0.5%
increase to the City’s contribution in the amount of approximately $35,000. Based on available
funds and movement of surrounding jurisdictions, the City may consider additional increases in
2021 and 2022 in order to remain competitive.
The 2020 budget contemplates migrating workers’ compensation insurance from CIRSA to Pinnacol
Assurance. In addition to saving the City approximately $100,000 based on the 2019 premium, staff
expects an increased level of service to better serve the needs of injured employees and the
18 2020 Adopted Budget
organization through enhanced return-to-work programs, on-call nurses, easy to use e-portals and
dedicated claims representatives.
Staffing
In 2019, the City’s staffing level is at 236.375 FTE’s. The 2020 staffing level will increase by a net of
3.25 FTE’s for a total of 239.625 FTE’s in all funds.
General Fund
1.0 Neighborhood Engagement Specialist – Community Development
This position is called for in the updated Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy, adopted by City
Council on July 22, 2019. The position supports the first theme identified in the strategy which is
“building resident capacity through neighborhood change.” The Neighborhood Engagement
Specialist will partner with City staff to implement a community engagement strategy, initially
focusing on neighborhood planning efforts. This position will organize and facilitate public processes
to develop neighborhood plans; become an expert in explaining City operations, connecting
residents to services; be a resource to communicate between residents and City departments; and
manage special projects. In addition to implementing the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy
update, this position supports the City’s 2035 Vision Topics “Wheat Ridge has great neighborhoods”
and “Wheat Ridge residents are proud of their hometown.”
0.75 FTE Landscape Inspection Program Manager – Community Development
In response to Council’s desire to prioritize the maintenance and enhancement of the City’s physical
appearance, the Community Development Department initiated a pilot landscape and enforcement
program to ensure ongoing landscape maintenance is occurring, particularly on commercial and
multifamily properties. For the past three summers since the program’s inception, this program has
been staffed utilizing a paid seasonal intern. Despite the challenges inherent with temporary
staffing, this program has been generally well received and numerous properties have been brought
into compliance with their approved landscape plans. Increasing the City’s investment to a
permanent three quarter time position will allow for program growth, continuity and improved
customer service. This position supports the City’s 2035 Vision Topic “Wheat Ridge is an attractive
and inviting city.”
0.5 FTE Payroll Technician – Administrative Services
In 2017, ESM Consulting analyzed the structure of the City’s Accounting and Sales Tax divisions to
determine the most efficient and effective use of authorized full time positions. The key findings led
to several recommendations including restructuring the two divisions to create one Finance
division, realigning positions to reassign duties, and reengineering responsibilities to allow for
critical back-up of certain functions and separation of duties. One specific deficiency noted in the
report was the lack of backup to the payroll function. To address this, in 2019, the City added part-
time support through a temporary intermittent payroll technician to provide a true backup to the
payroll supervisor. This has proven to be successful, and this year, the payroll technician executed
multiple payrolls independently and assisted with complex payroll-related Federal and State legal
and procedural changes. Given the sensitive and critical nature of this function, along with the
19 2020 Adopted Budget
investment in training and initial oversight, it is prudent to make this a permanent benefitted
position with a minimal increase in investment.
0.5 FTE Sustainability Coordinator – City Manager’s Office
During the 2020 Budget presentation on September 16, Council provided consensus to add a 0.5
FTE Sustainability Coordinator to the budget. This position was recommended by Sustainable Wheat
Ridge, the resident-led committee for the City, in order to enhance the impact of the committee by
adding a sustainability professional to staff. The primary role of the Sustainability Coordinator will
be to implement and manage the new Neighborhood Sustainability Program. This program, which
was developed by and includes training from the City of Lakewood, promotes resident-led
neighborhood sustainability efforts in order to assist residents in taking ownership of their
community’s environmental actions. The position will also provide leadership to the committee in
the implementation of the Sustainable Wheat Ridge Action Plan, and collaborate with City staff to
identify, coordinate and manage sustainability-related opportunities in the workplace.
Crime Prevention Fund
0.5 Homeless Navigator – Police Department
The rise of individuals experiencing homelessness continues to be a regional issue that affects the
health, safety, and welfare of all those who reside in Jefferson County. As such, Jefferson County
and the municipalities within, including the City of Wheat Ridge, have partnered in addressing
homelessness across the County. An essential part of these efforts will be to establish a network of
Homeless Navigator positions in individual jurisdictions that will work in collaboration as regional
partners. This new position will deliver direct services to individuals and families in need, provide
program and stabilization-related support, and collect and distribute information and resources to
assist those experiencing homelessness. This position also represents Wheat Ridge’s commitment
to a collaborative, regional approach to addressing homelessness in Jefferson County.
Additionally, Council authorized a re-organization of the Public Works and Community Development
departments in November, 2019. The approval of this change moved the Engineering division from
Public Works to the Community Development Department.
The Staffing section of the 2020 Budget contains a Five-Year Staffing Plan for 2020 to 2024. Over the
last decade staff has done its best to provide a level of service expected by City Council and the
community. The City has typically operated with a very lean staff; however, as community
expectations change, the City must ensure 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.

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:

*Denotes estimate pending final valuation
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.
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%. In order to maintain this
proportional allocation, the residential property assessment percentage has declined from 21% in 1982 to
the current level of 7.15%, while the non‐residential property percentage has remained at 29%.

General Fund Revenues
Property Tax Revenue
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: 2019 $1,025,513 Estimated 2020 $1,000,000 Adopted
Rationale: Forecast for 2019 is based on actual receipts and preliminary valuation information from the
County Assessor. Beginning in late 2015 and early 2016, the City has experienced significant increases in
residential and commercial development. The City expects to benefit from a continued increase in property
tax revenues as a result of projects in 2020 and beyond.

Collection: The City of Wheat Ridge collects a 3.5% tax on sales of tangible personal property and specific
services. In 2016 a 0.5% sales tax increase was approved by the citizens of Wheat Ridge, effective January 1,
2017, for a period of 12 years or when $38.5 million dollars are raised, whichever occurs first. Sales Taxes are
collected by the retailer and are reported directly to the City on either a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis.

Accommodations 14.5% 2.9% State, 1.1% District, 0.5% Jefferson County Open Space, 10.0% City
Admission to Events 4.0% 4.0% City
Sales tax revenues have recovered from the economic recession of 2008. Benefiting from the overall strong
Front Range economy, the City has seen steady growth since 2014 and anticipates this trend to continue.
Forecast: 2019 $20,178,756 Estimated 2020 $21,582,463 Adopted
Rationale: The closure of Walmart in 2017 significantly changed sales tax predictions with a smaller increase
than anticipated for 2017 through mid‐2019. The City and developer worked collaboratively to backfill the
former Walmart space with four new businesses, and while projections remain conservative, the City does
project a 7% increase in sales tax revenues in 2020 over 2019 due to new business growth and development.

General Fund Revenues
Use Tax Revenue
Distribution: General Fund 86% and 2E Bond Fund 14%
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 equal to the City sales tax of 3.5%, 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. 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. 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.
Forecast: 2019 $5,200,000 Estimated 2020 $5,518,167 Adopted
Rationale: Generally, use tax has fluctuated based on changes in business investment, build out and new
commercial development. The 2017 hail storm positively impacted use tax for 2017 and 2018. 2018 also
resulted in stronger use tax generation as a result of new projects breaking ground and the economy’s
continued recovery. The City remains positive for 2020, but projects use tax revenues that are conservative
and in line with a more typical year of retail, building and auto investment.

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 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.
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.
As user charges are insufficient to cover the costs of Recreation Center operations, revenues and
expenditures are 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. The
project allocates funding each year to address identified needs related to storm water. In
2020, the City will partner with the City of Edgewater to replace damaged and clogged
drainage pipes and inlets at 26th Avenue and Fenton Street. The City will be reimbursed
by the City of Edgewater for their share of the work.

The 26th Avenue and Fenton Street drainage enhancements will benefit adjacent
property owners and help mitigate ponding and flooding on public streets, and prevent
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 lower regulatory
flows that were approved by FEMA in 2016. The floodplain maps for Clear Creek are
currently being revised and should be finalized in early 2020. 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 Clear
Creek. The City is working jointly with the cities of Golden and Denver, Adams County
and the Mile High Flood District on this critical endeavor.

The Clear Creek Master Plan update will provide flood risk reduction opportunities,
including both the removal of some properties from the regulatory floodplain and
reduced flood insurance premiums. Reduced flood risk will encourage investment in
properties with reduced flood risk.

In order to serve the Clear Creek Crossing development, significant public infrastructure
improvements within the Clear Creek Crossing site must be made. This project is
separate from the 2E funded I-70 hook ramp improvements. It includes public streets,
storm sewers, traffic signals, street lighting, sidewalks, and other utilities. While the
developer will construct the facilities themselves, a large percentage of the public
improvements will be owned and maintained by the City. As a result, plan review and
construction inspection will require additional resources from the City.

Investing 4 the Future – Projects Funded by 2E
About 2E
In November of 2016, Wheat Ridge voters approved a 0.5%
cent increase in 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.
The four projects that have moved forward include:
improvements to Anderson Park and its facilities, installation
of I-70 on/off ramps for the Clear Creek Crossing mixed-use
development, widening of Wadsworth Boulevard into an
attractive multi-modal corridor and improvements to public
infrastructure and amenities to encourage economic
development and transit opportunities at the Wheat Ridge ·
Ward Station.
In 2017, City Council adopted Resolution 02-2017
establishing a restricted 2E fund as defined by GASB No. 54
for use on the 2E projects. In the spring of 2017, the City sold
$33 million in bonds.

Evergreen Development Company Inc., is developing a mixed-use project along I-70,
between 32nd Avenue and Clear Creek, which will include a multi-family community,
retail stores, entertainment establishments, restaurants, hotels and a medical campus. A
trail system will provide connections from 32nd Avenue through the development to the
Clear Creek Trail. 2E funding in the amount of $10 million will finance:
•Construction of westbound I-70 hook ramps
•Removal of the westbound off-ramp at 32nd Avenue
The project cost for the hook ramps is approximately $15.6 million. An
intergovernmental agreement with Longs Peak Metropolitan District (LPMD) stipulates
that the City will advance the difference (approximately $5.6 million) to be reimbursed
upon bond issuance by LPMD. The City’s $10 million contribution is estimated to be
expended in 2019. Depending on the construction and bond issuance timing, the City
may be in a position to expend additional funds from General Fund reserves in 2020. City
Council will be advised accordingly.

The construction of the hook ramps will finish the work that was started in 2013, with
the reconstruction of the 32nd Avenue/Youngfield intersection, to improve the 32nd
Avenue/I-70 Interchange. In addition, economic benefits will be realized from increased
revenue from the proposed mixed-use development of the large vacant area.

private sector real estate investments. The investments create the basis for a new mixed
use, multi-modal and pedestrian friendly neighborhood, with a dynamic mix of jobs and
housing. Proposed development will seek to expand the City’s housing diversity by
providing a mix of for rent and for sale multi-family housing products. The adopted
Vision seeks to maintain and expand the City’s employment base, with a focus on
expanding the City’s business base in the outdoor recreation industry. The Vision also
includes a goal of creating a trail system and other iconic features that help brand the
area as a regional destination accessible and visible from both the G Line and I-70.

In April 2016, the City of Wheat Ridge initiated the widening 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. The next two phases,
design and right-of-way acquisition will be completed in early 2020. The final phase,
construction, is projected to begin in mid-2020. $7 million of 2E funding, along with
$640,000 of additional City funds, will be used to provide the City’s local match for two
federal transportation grants, $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 $4.1 million in maintenance funding towards the project. The total
identified funding is just under $45 million.

211 2020 Adopted 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 are 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 who 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.
Changes to 2020 compensation include increases to certain sworn positions based on recent
market analysis and updates to the part-time employee pay plan to reflect the State-mandated
increase in minimum wage.
212 2020 Adopted Budget
Following the performance evaluation due dates scheduled in the fall of 2019, 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. The City does not grant cost-of-living
increases.

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
300 2020 Adopted 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.
301 2020 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 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 are accounted for in the General Fund beginning in 2020.
A chart depicting the City’s Governmental Fund Types is included on the next page.

Budget Process & Timeline
In accordance with the City Charter, the annual budget process and timeline is outlined in the
Budget in Brief section of this budget document.
Procurement Planning
All City purchases of goods or services are made in accordance with the State of Colorado Revised
Statues, Wheat Ridge City Charter and the City’s Purchasing Guidelines.
Financial Reporting
The City’s accounting records are audited by an independent certified public accounting firm
following the conclusion of each fiscal year in accordance with the City Charter and state law. The
City Manager and Administrative Services Director prepares a Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report (CAFR) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applicable to
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 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.
304 2020 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
305 2020 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
306 2020 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.
307 2020 Adopted 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
