If you have any questions prior to the September 18 Study Session, please do not hesitate to ask. The 2024 proposed budget message, found on pages 13-23 of the budget book, is included below: As we move into the next chapter of Wheat Ridge’s story, the future is very bright. Recession talks continue but fewer economists are predicting a significant downturn in the economy, as they were just a few months ago. Wheat Ridge has experienced a slight slowdown in the economy in 2023, but financial reserves are strong and the pipeline of future residential and commercial development is robust. The 2024 Proposed Budget reflects this conservative optimism for the future and will continue to provide a base level of programs and services. In this next chapter the City will continue to invest in equitable infrastructure improvements across the City. The 2024 Proposed Budget includes over $27 million in grant funding and $8 million in Urban Renewal Authority bond funds which will supplement other revenues to complete priority projects. Some of these projects include major road reconstruction such as the Improve Wadsworth project, beautification projects such as aesthetic improvements to the Youngfield corridor, multi-modal projects including a new Wadsworth sidewalk between 32nd and 35th Avenues, enhanced bike lanes on 32nd Avenue and pedestrian connectivity improvements at the Wheat Ridge Ward commuter rail station and facility improvements at the Wheat Ridge Recreation Center, the community crown jewel. In addition, after receiving substantial support from residents to extend the City’s one-half of one cent sales tax, City Council approved ballot language for the 2023 election to extend the tax for priority infrastructure projects throughout the City. This budget does not include expenditures for those improvements. However, if the ballot question is approved by voters on November 7th, bonds netting $75 million in project funds will be issued in 2024 and later for sidewalk connectivity, bike lanes, road repairs, and drainage improvements throughout the city. Proposed 2024 Budget September 8, 2023 (for Study Session of September 18, 2023) Page 3 The City will continue to focus on engaging with residents in 2024 to ensure that our local government is responsive to current needs and forward thinking in planning for future priorities. The Let’s Talk Neighborhood Engagement program will transition into the next phase of community engagement – Let’s Talk Wheat Ridge. This next phase will include updates to the Comprehensive Plan, Parks and Recreation Master, Economic Development Strategy, Stormwater Master Plan, Sustainability Action Plan and Residential Waste Management Strategy. WHEAT RIDGE 2035 VISION TOPICS The Mayor, City Council, and staff work together periodically to develop and update a strategic plan that includes a vision, goals, and priorities.

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 OVERALL SUMMARY The total 2024 Proposed Budget, including the General Fund, two capital funds, eight special revenue funds, and the 2E Investing 4 the Future Bond Fund, is $90,060,794. The Budget is based on projected revenues of $80,883,877. The beginning fund balance for 2024 is projected at $46,553,710, which brings the total available funds to $127,437,587. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of $37,376,793. General Fund $48,634,419 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Fund $16,582,667 RWR Bond Projects Fund $10,587,210 Special Revenue Funds $10,756,198 2E Investing 4 the Future Bond Fund $3,500,300 Total $90,060,794 General Fund General Fund revenue is projected at $47,155,947, which is a 2.8% increase compared to 2023 year-end estimated revenues and a 1.9% increase compared to the original 2023 budget. The slight increase in 2024 projected revenue is from sales and property taxes. In addition, the beginning fund balance for 2024 is projected at $18,304,374, which brings the total available funds for the General Fund to $65,460,321. Proposed 2024 Budget September 8, 2023 (for Study Session of September 18, 2023) Page 4 General Fund expenditures total $48,634,419, excluding transfers. General Fund expenditures represent a 2.1% decrease compared to the adjusted 2023 Budget. The ending fund balance for the General Fund is projected at $12,900,902, of which $8,319,913 (17% 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. In addition, TABOR requires that the City maintain a 3% emergency reserve which brings the total projected City reserves in 2024 to 20% of operating expenditures. Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Fund CIP Fund revenue is projected at $16,046,467 ($3.825 million transferred from the General Fund), which is a 9% decrease compared to 2023 estimated revenue, mostly due to the timing of when grant revenue is received for the Improve Wadsworth project. In addition, the beginning fund balance for 2024 is projected at $10,592,409, which brings the total available funds for the CIP Fund to $26,638,876. CIP expenditures total $16,582,667, which is a 50% decrease compared to the adjusted 2023 Budget. The large decrease is primarily due to the timing of the Improve Wadsworth project. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of $10,056,209. The 2024 Proposed CIP Budget includes the following projects: • $11.2 million to finalize the first phase of the Improve Wadsworth project and to start the second phase. • $3.1 million for annual street preventative maintenance • $1.7 million for design, environmental and right-of-way for the Wadsworth sidewalk, 32nd to 35th • $200,000 for stormwater master plan • $140,000 for City-wide roadway striping maintenance • $125,000 for the City's Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) • $100,000 for City-wide ADA infrastructure improvements • $67,000 for a traffic signal improvements • $27,000 for public works facilities improvements Renewal Wheat Ridge Bond Projects Fund Renewal Wheat Ridge (RWR) issued bonds in November 2021 in the net amount of $37.5 million for public improvements within the I-70/Kipling Corridors Urban Renewal Plan Area. This Budget includes a fund for the City's project expenditures associated with the bonds. Funds will be transferred into the Fund from RWR as contracts are awarded. Please see the Renewal Wheat Ridge Bonds Project section of the Budget for detailed information. The 2024 Proposed Budget includes $10,587,210 in revenues from the bonds and $10,587,210 in expenditures for the following projects: • $3.9 million for Youngfield Streetscape project, including public art • $1.0 million for I-70/32nd Avenue bike lanes • $450,000 for contribution to RTD bus terminal at Clear Creek Crossing Proposed 2024 Budget September 8, 2023 (for Study Session of September 18, 2023) Page 5 • $220,000 for Youngfield bridge maintenance • $1.2 million for 38th and Kipling interchange improvements, including public art • $300,000 for Recreation Center heating and recovery unit replacement • $300,000 for Recreation Center bridge repair • $100,000 for Recreation Center electronic message board • $2.9 million for Ward TOD multimodal improvements • $200,000 for 44th and Eldridge traffic signal replacement design The future RWR Bond Projects Fund includes environmental and design for Tabor Street multimodal improvements, Ward TOD multimodal improvements, and infrastructure improvements for the redevelopment of the American Motel site. Special Revenue Fund – Open Space Open Space revenue is projected at $3,664,214, which is a 25% decrease compared to the 2023 estimated revenue. The large decrease is due to a transfer of ARPA and Stadium District funding from the General Fund in 2023. The beginning fund balance for 2024 is projected at $6,429,639, which brings the total available funds for the Open Space Fund to $10,093,853. Open Space projects for 2024 include: • The Green at 38th project • Parks and Recreation Master Plan • Fruitdale Park playground replacement • Clear Creek Trail east portal feasibility study • Reconstruction of Panorama Park tennis courts and other park improvements • Miscellaneous open space and park improvements Funding is also appropriated for six parks maintenance and three forestry employees. Open Space expenditures total $8,029,870, which is a 6.7% increase compared to the adjusted 2023 Budget. This will provide a projected ending fund balance of $2,063,983, of which $1,443,655 is restricted to park and trail improvements at the Wheat Ridge Ward station area and Fruitdale Park. The future five-year Open Space Budget proposes the continuation of miscellaneous open space and park improvements, Phase III of Prospect Park improvements, Johnson Park trailhead improvements and funding for Parks employees. Special Revenue Fund – Conservation Trust Conservation Trust revenue is projected at $468,781, which is a slight decrease compared to the 2023 estimated revenue. In addition, the beginning fund balance for 2024 is projected at $427,035, which brings the total available funds for the Conservation Trust Fund to $895,816. Conservation Trust projects for 2024 include: • Recreation facilities maintenance projects • The Green at 38th Proposed 2024 Budget September 8, 2023 (for Study Session of September 18, 2023) Page 6 • Resurface of tennis and basketball courts • Miscellaneous park maintenance projects Conservation Trust expenditures total $767,950, which is a slight increase compared to the adjusted 2023 Budget. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of $127,866. The future five-year Conservation Trust Budget proposes to provide funds for recreation facilities maintenance needs, parks maintenance projects, resurfacing of tennis/basketball courts, and playground replacements at Hayward, Louise Turner and Prospect Parks. 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, Wheat Ridge Housing Fund, 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. 2024 revenues from the temporary 0.5% sales and use tax and interest are projected at $5,350,323. In addition, the beginning fund balance for 2024 is projected at $8,801,518 which brings the total available funds for the 2E Fund to $14,151,841. 2E Fund expenditures total $3,500,300, all of which are designated for debt service on the 2E bonds. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of $10,651,541. SHORT-TERM FISCAL CHALLENGES/OPPORTUNITIES Sales Tax and General Fund Revenue The 2023 Estimated and 2024 Proposed Budgets project slowing sales tax revenue growth. Sales tax, the City's largest revenue source, is projected to decrease by 0.2% in 2023 compared to 2022 year-end sales tax revenues and decrease by 5.2% compared to the 2023 Adopted Budget. The 2024 sales tax revenue is projected to increase by 2.4% compared to the 2023 year-end estimate, to account for retail development currently in the pipeline. Overall, total General Fund revenue for 2023 is projected to decrease by 15% compared to 2022 year-end revenue. This large decrease is primarily due to a $4 million ARPA contribution from Congress in 2022 and higher than normal building use tax in 2022 from Clear Creek Crossing and other private property developments. When compared to the 2023 Adopted Budget, total General Fund revenue is projected to come in at about 1.0% less than expected. This decrease is primarily due to a slowdown in sales tax revenue. Retail Development in the Pipeline Although the overall economy may be cooling, Wheat Ridge is fortunate to have significant retail development in the pipeline which in anticipated to open in late 2023 and throughout 2024. Proposed 2024 Budget September 8, 2023 (for Study Session of September 18, 2023) Page 7 The Gold’s Marketplace at 26th and Kipling is continuing to reinvent itself and will see new retail offerings in the near future including Illegal Pete’s, Live Slow Brewing, Rich Spirit Bagels and Heidi’s Brooklyn Deli. The Clear Creek Crossing development is focusing on the Lookout portion of the development which will include several new restaurants. In addition, two hotels are currently in predevelopment stages at Clear Creek Crossing. The Ridge at 38 is continuing its resurgence as the City’s main street with the recent addition of Wolf and Wildflower and GetRight’s Bakery and Little Brazil, Hwaro Sushi, Rolling Smoke, and Huckleberry Roasters in the coming months. The Applewood Shopping Center remains the City’s primary shopping center which recently added Nothing Bundt Cakes, Eyeglass World, and Romeo’s Pizza and will soon see Chick-fil-A, Valvoline and a new Wendy’s at 32nd and Youngfield in the building previously owned by FirstBank. A very conservative growth in sales tax revenues from these new retail establishments has been included in the 2024 Proposed Budget. Inflation Inflation has decreased in Colorado but is still higher than the national average. Colorado’s 12-month inflation rate decreased from 7.7% to 4.7% over the last year. However, this rate has dramatically outpaced the national average of 3.3%. Although there have been decreases in costs for energy, apparel and durables, significant increases still exist in food, housing, fuels and utilities, recreation and services. The 2024 Proposed Budget reflects those increases. American Rescue Plan Act President Biden signed into law the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) on March 11, 2021. ARPA provides $1.9 trillion in additional relief to respond to the impacts of COVID-19. The City of Wheat Ridge received a total of $7,873,279, half of which was received in 2021, and the other half was received in 2022. All funds must be encumbered by December 31, 2024 and spent by December 31, 2026. The United States Department of Treasury has determined eligible uses of the ARPA funding, which include the following broad categories: • Support public health expenditures • Address negative economic impacts caused by the public health emergency • Replace lost public sector revenue • Provide premium pay for essential workers • Invest in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure On April 4, 2022, City Council provided direction regarding the City’s use of the revenues from ARPA. By the end of 2023, the City will have spent approximately $4.6 million on the following categories in the table below and the 2024 Proposed Budget includes $1.5 million in ARPA spending requests. ARPA Category Description Total 2021-2023 2024 COVID Mitigation and Prevention Testing, vaccine program, sanitation, technology, etc. $613,480 $420,354 $95,000 Assistance to Households Homelessness and housing initiatives $2,332,275 $949,907 $270,279 Proposed 2024 Budget September 8, 2023 (for Study Session of September 18, 2023) Page 8 Food Insecurity & Assistance to Low-Income Populations Through Community Table, impacts to low-income households disproportionately affected by the pandemic $146,000 $73,000 $36,500 Behavioral Healthcare Clinician in Wheat Ridge High School and Community Prevention and Engagement Program $481,000 $227,000 $127,000 Preventing and Responding to Violence Telephone Reporting Unit staffing and victims’ services $753,872 $230,194 $158,900 Parks Projects Parks and Recreation unfunded capital projects* $1,696,652 $1,680,523 $0 Water Infrastructure Stormwater repair and maintenance* $1,850,000 $1,025,000 $825,000 Total $7,873,279 $4,605,978 $1,512,679 *2023 was a significantly wet spring and summer in Wheat Ridge. Several stormwater failures were identified across the City which were unfunded and required emergency repairs. The ARPA category of “Water Infrastructure” was originally intended for improvements to the Lean Gulch and Simms Overbank. However, in order to fund these emergency repairs, this allocation has been redirected. In addition, $225,000 in the ARPA category of “Parks Projects” which was allocated for Fruitdale Park playground surface installation has been redirected to stormwater repair and maintenance. The playground surface will be funded through the Open Space Budget. Supplemental Budget Requests The 2023 estimated and 2024 proposed budgets represent conservative revenue projections and minimal expenditures sufficient to deliver quality services to the community, while maintaining a minimum fund balance of 17% of expenditures. The proposed 2024 budget excludes funding for staff, fleet replacement, facility improvements, technology, public safety programs and other programs and training that the leadership team considers top priority. Depending on 2023 year-end revenues and expenditures, management may present to Council supplemental budget appropriation requests in 2024 in order to add key positions, projects, technology, equipment, and programs. A summary of proposed additions, depending on revenues, follows: Category Amount Notes New Positions $413,014 Amount represents full-year staffing for 5.0 positions. This includes three Police Officers, one Stormwater Supervisor and one Lead Custodian offset for the most part by variable employee savings Vehicle Replacement Program $264,000 Five top priority vehicles have been deferred Proposed 2024 Budget September 8, 2023 (for Study Session of September 18, 2023) Page 9 Facility Improvements $127,000 This includes roof and other facility repairs, electrical upgrades, engineering support and contractual services for facility repairs Technology $114,821 This includes tools and technology to help the City comply with new website accessibility laws, replacement switches, and access control and security enhancements Public Safety Programs $515,400 This includes stormwater priority repairs, an additional drone for the Police Department and ebikes for patrol Other programs and training $83,050 This includes additional comprehensive plan outreach, additional staffing for recreation programs, additional court funding and training TOTAL $1,517,285 Community Partners Grant Program In 2016, City Council created a resident review committee to make recommendations for grant contributions to community partners. In 2023, the Committee reviewed applications and presentations from 26 different community organizations, totally $284,300 in funding requests. The following are the Committee's recommendations for 2024, totaling $200,000, a $40,000 increase over 2023. The Action Center $8,100 Active Transportation Advisory Team $1,500 Bayaud Enterprises, Inc. $2,600 Court Appointed Special Advocates $8,000 Colorado Youth for Change $6,800 Community Table $13,000 Family Tree $10,000 Friends of Paha $5,580 Hope Connection and Community $4,100 Jefferson Center for Mental Health $24,300 Jefferson County Library Foundation $1,400 Jewish Family Services $5,000 Lutheran Medical Center Foundation $6,000 Mission Arvada of the Rising Church $6,420 Mountain Phoenix Community School $2,800 Outdoor Lab Foundation $20,000 Regional Air Quality Council $4,000 Seniors’ Resource Center $20,000 Severe Weather Shelter Network $8,000 Sunshine Home Share $3,000 Thrive Industries $5,000 Proposed 2024 Budget September 8, 2023 (for Study Session of September 18, 2023) Page 10 Wheat Ridge Community Foundation $6,400 Wheat Ridge High School Farmer's 5000 $6,000 Wheat Ridge High School Instrumental Band Boosters $5,500 Wheat Ridge High School STEM $15,000 Wheat Ridge Optimist Club $1,500 TOTAL $200,000 LONG-TERM 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. Interest accrues on the bonds at rates ranging from 3% to 5% per annum. 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 2024 Proposed Budget, $3,500,300 is budgeted for the 2024 debt service. The balance of the debt as of December 31, 2024, will be $9,817,000. Based on current revenue estimates, the temporary sales and use tax rate will expire at the beginning of 2025, after approximately 8 years. Additionally, the City has the following long-term financial obligations: Renewal Wheat Ridge The City's Urban Renewal Authority d/b/a Renewal Wheat Ridge is a component unit of the City. Renewal Wheat Ridge acquired a loan on May 14, 2014 in the amount of $2.455 million for the Kipling Ridge commercial center development at 38th and Kipling. The loan accrues interest at 3.16% per annum. The term of this loan expires in 2023 and will be paid from sales and property tax incremental revenue from the Kipling Ridge project. Once this loan is retired, the City's General fund will see a net decrease of approximately $600,000 in expenditures to Renewal Wheat Ridge, starting in Fiscal Year 2024. OTHER COMMITMENTS 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. Annual payments of $80,167, including principal and interest accruing at 5.75%, are due through Proposed 2024 Budget September 8, 2023 (for Study Session of September 18, 2023) Page 11 May 1, 2030. For its participation in the community solar garden, the City has received $438,298 in energy credits from Xcel through 2022 which were used to offset lease payments and against energy consumption at various City facilities. Energy credits have decreased substantially, and both the 2023 and 2024 budgets include only $500 in revenues from Xcel energy credits. A remaining balance of $434,238.35 will remain on the lease at the end of Fiscal Year 2024. LOANS RECEIVABLE 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. Attracting and retaining the best talent for the City is a high priority. In 2013, the City launched a pay-for-performance compensation model that ties compensation to performance through demonstrated alignment with values (ACTION – Accountability – Change – Teamwork – Integrity – Opportunity – Now!), technical performance and exceptional customer service. The City continues to implement this pay-for-performance model. The market-based compensation plan, typically updated biennially, consists of three sub-plans 1) a pay-for-performance open range plan, which includes civilian and police sergeants and higher ranks; 2) a sworn seven-step plan, which includes police officer positions; and 3) a part-time employee plan which includes variable non-benefited positions such as lifeguards and seasonal parks workers. The pay plan was updated in 2022, resulting in wage increases in some grades and movement of some positions. The consultant-led review of the pay plan involved comparing positions against job matches in the Denver/Boulder metro area and aligning compensation appropriately. No changes are recommended for 2024 with the exception of increases to steps one and seven in the police officer pay plan. Employees will be eligible for a performance increase on January 1, 2024, based on how well they meet the core values and competencies of the performance management program. The 2024 Proposed Budget includes approximately $980,000 in pay for performance, annual police department step increases and market and equity increases. This represents a decrease of approximately 10% over 2023 pay increases. Benefits In 2023, the City began providing a more robust and flexible package to employees by joining the Colorado Employer Benefit Trust (CEBT). CEBT is a multiple employer trust for public institutions comprised of over 400 employers with approximately 33,000 employees. CEBT is administered by broker Willis Towers Watson. As a mid-sized employer, the City was limited to Proposed 2024 Budget September 8, 2023 (for Study Session of September 18, 2023) Page 12 one medical insurer for several years but by joining CEBT, the City now offers medical plans with both United Healthcare and Kaiser Permanente along with dental, vision, life and disability benefits. City employees have the option to choose from four different medical plans; Kaiser’s DHMO and High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), and United Healthcare’s PPO4 and HDHP2. Both HDHP options are paired with a Health Savings Account (HSA) seeded with funds from the City to help employees save for their health needs. Employees continue to enjoy dental coverage with Delta Dental and VSP for vision coverage. Additionally, life and accidental death and dismemberment coverage is provided by The Standard. While the staff expects medical coverage premiums to increase in 2024, City premiums are budgeted flat to 2023 as any cost escalations can likely be covered by vacancies. The City currently contributes to a 401(a) retirement plan for nonsworn employees. Employees contribute 4% to the Plan, and the City matches 6% (7% for Department Directors). For sworn employees, the City contributes 11.5%, and employees contribute 10% to the Plan (sworn employees do not contribute to Social Security). Employees also have the option to contribute to a deferred compensation 457 account. Staffing Council approved the increase of 2.0 FTE mid-year in 2023; the IT Project Manager to implement the Enterprise Resource Planning system and the Housing Program Administrator funded in the Wheat Ridge Housing Fund. The 2024 Proposed Budget includes an increase of only 1.0 FTE for new staffing. This will increase total staffing to 273.25 FTEs. 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. 1.0 FTE Senior Deputy City Clerk – City Clerk’s Office This new position will help with the demands of the City Clerk’s Office that have evolved over the last several years due to an active constituency, business community and legislature. Additionally, recent events such as the pandemic and the cyber-attack have placed greater focus on the need for the modernization of processes including records management, elections, public information requests, liquor licensing, and petitions and referendums. The City Clerk’s Office is currently comprised on one elected City Clerk and one full-time Deputy City Clerk. Overall, the leadership team is working collaboratively to realign staffing resources for maximum efficiency and program excellence. First, to provide greater management, oversight and capacity over construction of capital projects, a Civil Engineer II position is being repurposed to a Capital Improvement Projects Manager in the Public Works Department and two Civil Engineer II positions from Community Development are being moved to Public Works as project managers to create a new Capital Projects division. This team will manage the City’s capital projects from design to final construction. Second, a Community Services Officer from the Police Department, a position which is frequently difficult to fill, is being moved to the Finance division to create a Compliance Officer Proposed 2024 Budget September 8, 2023 (for Study Session of September 18, 2023) Page 13 position. This position will be a point person for challenging licensing issues such as short-term rentals, home-occupation businesses, tobacco licensing and general business license violations and will work in close cooperation with other divisions across the City responsible for enforcing the Code. CONCLUSIONS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The City of Wheat Ridge is in a strong financial position, remains resilient and has many opportunities in this next chapter. Thank you to the Mayor and City Council for your unwavering support, dedication to the community and leadership in building a stronger community.

Councilmembers: I am pleased to present to the Mayor and City Council the 2024 Proposed Budget. This Budget provides the framework for providing services and programs to the residents of Wheat Ridge for the year 2024, based on the delivery of core services and priorities identified in the City Council Strategic Plan and other planning and visioning documents. As we move into the next chapter of Wheat Ridge’s story, the future is very bright. Recession talks continue but fewer economists are predicting a significant downturn in the economy, as they were just a few months ago. Wheat Ridge has experienced a slight slowdown in the economy in 2023, but financial reserves are strong and the pipeline of future residential and commercial development is robust. The 2024 Proposed Budget reflects this conservative optimism for the future and will continue to provide a base level of programs and services. In this next chapter the City will continue to invest in equitable infrastructure improvements across the City. The 2024 Proposed Budget includes over $27 million in grant funding and $8 million in Urban Renewal Authority bond funds which will supplement other revenues to complete priority projects. Some of these projects include major road reconstruction such as the Improve Wadsworth project, beautification projects such as aesthetic improvements to the Youngfield corriodor, multi-modal projects including a new Wadsworth sidewalk between 32nd and 35th Avenues, enhanced bike lanes on 32nd Avenue and pedestrian connectivity improvements at the Wheat Ridge Ward commuter rail station and facility improvements at the Wheat Ridge Recreation Center, the community crown jewel. In addition, after receiving substantial support from residents to extend the City’s one-half of one cent sales tax, City Council approved ballot language for the 2023 election to extend the tax for priority infrastructure projects throughout the City. This budget does not include expenditures for those improvements. However, if the ballot question is approved by voters on November 7th, bonds netting $75 million in project funds will be issued in 2024 and later for sidewalk connectivity, bike lanes, road repairs, and drainage improvements throughout the city. The City will continue to focus on engaging with residents in 2024 to ensure that our local government is responsive to current needs and forward thinking in planning for future priorities. The Let’s Talk Neighborhood Engagement program will transition into the next phase of community engagement – Let’s Talk Wheat Ridge. This next phase will include updates to the Comprehensive Plan, Parks and Recreation Master, Economic Development Strategy, Stormwater Master Plan, Sustainability Action Plan and Residential Waste Management Strategy. 13 2024 Proposed Budget WHEAT RIDGE 2035 VISION TOPICS The Mayor, City Council, and staff work together periodically to develop and update a strategic plan that includes a vision, goals, and priorities. Staff used the vision topics and strategic priorities to guide the development of and prioritize projects for the 2023 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 OVERALL SUMMARY The total 2024 Proposed Budget, including the General Fund, two capital funds, eight special revenue funds, and the 2E Investing 4 the Future Bond Fund, is $90,060,794. The Budget is based on projected revenues of $80,883,877. The beginning fund balance for 2024 is projected at $46,553,710, which brings the total available funds to $127,437,587. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of $37,376,793. General Fund $48,634,419 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Fund $16,582,667 RWR Bond Projects Fund $10,587,210 Special Revenue Funds $10,756,198 2E Investing 4 the Future Bond Fund $3,500,300 Total $90,060,794 General Fund General Fund revenue is projected at $47,155,947, which is a 2.8% increase compared to 2023 year-end estimated revenues and a 1.9% increase compared to the original 2023 budget. The slight increase in 2024 projected revenue is from sales and property taxes. In addition, the beginning fund balance for 2024 is projected at $18,304,374, which brings the total available funds for the General Fund to $65,460,321. General Fund expenditures total $48,634,419, excluding transfers. General Fund expenditures represent a 2.1% decrease compared to the adjusted 2023 Budget. The ending fund balance for the General Fund is projected at $12,900,902, of which $8,267,851 (17% 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. In addition, TABOR requires that the City maintain a 3% emergency reserve which brings the total projected City reserves in 2024 to 20% of operating expenditures. 14 2024 Proposed Budget Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Fund CIP Fund revenue is projected at $16,046,467 ($3.825 million transferred from the General Fund), which is a 9% decrease compared to 2023 estimated revenue, mostly due to the timing of when grant revenue is received for the Improve Wadsworth project. In addition, the beginning fund balance for 2024 is projected at $10,592,409, which brings the total available funds for the CIP Fund to $26,638,876. CIP expenditures total $16,582,667, which is a 50% decrease compared to the adjusted 2023 Budget. The large decrease is primarily due to the timing of the Improve Wadsworth project. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of $10,056,209. The 2024 Proposed CIP Budget includes the following projects: • $11.2 million to finalize the first phase of the Improve Wadsworth project and to start the second phase. • $3.1 million for annual street preventative maintenance • $1.7 million for design, environmental and right-of-way for the Wadsworth sidewalk, 32nd to 35th • $200,000 for stormwater master plan • $140,000 for City-wide roadway striping maintenance • $125,000 for the City's Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) • $100,000 for City-wide ADA infrastructure improvements • $67,000 for a traffic signal improvements • $27,000 for public works facilities improvements Renewal Wheat Ridge Bond Projects Fund Renewal Wheat Ridge (RWR) issued bonds in November 2021 in the net amount of $37.5 million for public improvements within the I-70/Kipling Corridors Urban Renewal Plan Area. This Budget includes a fund for the City's project expenditures associated with the bonds. Funds will be transferred into the Fund from RWR as contracts are awarded. Please see the Renewal Wheat Ridge Bonds Project section of the Budget for detailed information. The 2024 Proposed Budget includes $10,587,210 in revenues from the bonds and $10,587,210 in expenditures for the following projects: • $3.9 million for Youngfield Streetscape project, including public art • $1.0 million for I-70/32nd Avenue bike lanes • $450,000 for contribution to RTD bus terminal at Clear Creek Crossing • $220,000 for Youngfield bridge maintenance • $1.2 million for 38th and Kipling interchange improvements, including public art • $300,000 for Recreation Center heating and recovery unit replacement • $300,000 for Recreation Center bridge repair • $100,000 for Recreation Center electronic message board • $2.9 million for Ward TOD multimodal improvements • $200,000 for 44th and Eldridge traffic signal replacement design The future RWR Bond Projects Fund includes environmental and design for Tabor Street multimodal improvements, Ward TOD multimodal improvements, and infrastructure improvements for the redevelopment of the American Motel site. 15 2024 Proposed Budget Special Revenue Fund – Open Space Open Space revenue is projected at $3,664,214, which is a 25% decrease compared to the 2023 estimated revenue. The large decrease is due to a transfer of ARPA and Stadium District funding from the General Fund in 2023. The beginning fund balance for 2024 is projected at $6,429,639, which brings the total available funds for the Open Space Fund to $10,093,853. Open Space projects for 2024 include: • The Green at 38th project • Parks and Recreation Master Plan • Fruitdale Park playground replacement • Clear Creek Trail east portal feasibility study • Reconstruction of Panorama Park tennis courts and other park improvements • Miscellaneous open space and park improvements Funding is also appropriated for six parks maintenance and three forestry employees. Open Space expenditures total $8,029,870, which is a 6.7% increase compared to the adjusted 2023 Budget. This will provide a projected ending fund balance of $2,063,983, of which $1,443,655 is restricted to park and trail improvements at the Wheat Ridge Ward station area and Fruitdale Park. The future five-year Open Space Budget proposes the continuation of miscellaneous open space and park improvements, Phase III of Prospect Park improvements, Johnson Park trailhead improvements and funding for Parks employees. Special Revenue Fund – Conservation Trust Conservation Trust revenue is projected at $468,781, which is a slight decrease compared to the 2023 estimated revenue. In addition, the beginning fund balance for 2024 is projected at $427,035, which brings the total available funds for the Conservation Trust Fund to $895,816. Conservation Trust projects for 2024 include: • Recreation facilities maintenance projects • The Green at 38th • Resurface of tennis and basketball courts • Miscellaneous park maintenance projects Conservation Trust expenditures total $767,950, which is a slight increase compared to the adjusted 2023 Budget. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of $127,866. The future five-year Conservation Trust Budget proposes to provide funds for recreation facilities maintenance needs, parks maintenance projects, resurfacing of tennis/basketball courts, and playground replacements at Hayward, Lousie Turner and Prospect Parks. 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, Wheat Ridge Housing Fund, Equipment Replacement, and Crime Prevention/Code Enforcement. Detailed revenue and 16 2024 Proposed Budget 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. 2024 revenues from the temporary 0.5% sales and use tax and interest are projected at $5,350,323. In addition, the beginning fund balance for 2024 is projected at $8,801,518 which brings the total available funds for the 2E Fund to $14,151,841. 2E Fund expenditures total $3,500,300, all of which are designated for debt service on the 2E bonds. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of $10,651,541. SHORT-TERM FISCAL CHALLENGES/OPPORTUNITIES Sales Tax and General Fund Revenue The 2023 Estimated and 2024 Proposed Budgets project slowing sales tax revene growth. Sales tax, the City's largest revenue source, is projected to decrease by 0.2% in 2023 compared to 2022 year-end sales tax revenues and decrease by 5.2% compared to the 2023 Adopted Budget. The 2024 sales tax revenue is projected to increase by 2.4% compared to the 2023 year-end estimate, to account for retail development currently in the pipeline. Overall, total General Fund revenue for 2023 is projected to decrease by 15% compared to 2022 year- end revenue. This large decrease is primarily due to a $4 million ARPA contribution from Congress in 2022 and higher than normal building use tax in 2022 from Clear Creek Crossing and other private property developments. When compared to the 2023 Adopted Budget, total General Fund revenue is projected to come in at about 1.0% less than expected. This decrease is primarily due to a slow down in sales tax revenue. Retail Development in the Pipeline Although the overall economy may be cooling, Wheat Ridge is fortunate to have significant retail development in the pipeline which in anticipated to open in late 2023 and throughout 2024. The Gold’s Marketplace at 26th and Kipling is continuing to reinvent itself and will see new retail offerings in the near future including Illegal Pete’s, Live Slow Brewing, Rich Spirit Bagels and Heidi’s Brooklyn Deli. The Clear Creek Crossing development is focusing on the Lookout portion of the development which will include several new restaurants. In addition, two hotels are currently in predevelopment stages at Clear Creek Crossing. The Ridge at 38 is continuing its resurgence as the City’s main street with the recent addition of Wolf and Wildflower and GetRight’s Bakery and Little Brazil, Hwaro Sushi, Rolling Smoke, and Huckleberry Roasters in the coming months. The Applewood Shopping Center remains the City’s primary shopping center which recently added Nothing Bundt Cakes, Eyeglass World, and Romeo’s Pizza and will soon see Chick-fil-A, Valvoline and a new Wendy’s at 32nd and Youngfield in the building previously owned by FirstBank. A very conservative growth in sales tax revenues from these new retail establishments has been included in the 2024 Proposed Budget. Inflation Inflation has decreased in Colorado but is still higher than the national average. Colorado’s 12-month inflation rate decreased from 7.7% to 4.7% over the last year. However, this rate has dramatically 17 2024 Proposed Budget outpaced the national average of 3.3%. Although there have been decreases in costs for energy, apparel and durbales, significant increases still exist in food, housing, fuels and utilities, recreation and services. The 2024 Proposed Budget reflects those increases. American Rescue Plan Act President Biden signed into law the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) on March 11, 2021. ARPA provides $1.9 trillion in additional relief to respond to the impacts of COVID-19. The City of Wheat Ridge received a total of $7,873,279, half of which was received in 2021, and the other half was received in 2022. All funds must be encumbered by December 31, 2024 and spent by December 31, 2026. The United States Department of Treasury has determined eligible uses of the ARPA funding, which include the following broad categories: • Support public health expenditures • Address negative economic impacts caused by the public health emergency • Replace lost public sector revenue • Provide premium pay for essential workers • Invest in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure On April 4, 2022, City Council provided direction regarding the City’s use of the revenues from ARPA. By the end of 2023, the City will have spent approximately $4.6 million on the following categories in the table below and the 2024 Proposed Budget includes $1.5 million in ARPA spending requests. ARPA Category Description Total 2021-2023 2024 COVID Mitigation and Prevention Testing, vaccine program, sanitation, technology, etc. $613,480 $420,354 $95,000 Assistance to Households Homelessness and housing initiatives $2,332,275 $949,907 $270,279 Food Insecurity & Assistance to Low-Income Populations Through Community Table, impacts to low-income households disproportionately affected by the pandemic $146,000 $73,000 $36,500 Behavioral Healthcare Clinician in Wheat Ridge High School and Community Prevention and Engagement Program $481,000 $227,000 $127,000 Preventing and Responding to Violence Telephone Reporting Unit staffing and victims’ services $753,872 $230,194 $158,900 Parks Projects Parks and Recreation unfunded capital projects* $1,696,652 $1,680,523 $0 Water Infrastructure Stormwater repair and maintenance* $1,850,000 $1,025,000 $825,000 Total $7,873,279 $4,605,978 $1,512,679 *2023 was a significantly wet spring and summer in Wheat Ridge. Several stormwater failures were identified across the City which were unfunded and required emergency repairs. The ARPA category of “Water Infrastructure” was originally 18 2024 Proposed Budget intended for improvements to the Lean Gulch and Simms Overbank. However, in order to fund these emergency repairs, this allocation has been redirected. In addition, $225,000 in the ARPA category of “Parks Projects” which was allocated for Fruitdale Park playground surface installation has been redirected to stormwater repair and maintenance. The playground surface will be funded through the Open Space Budget. Supplemental Budget Requests The 2023 estimated and 2024 proposed budgets represent conservative revenue projections and minimal expenditures sufficient to deliver quality services to the community, while maintaining a minimum fund balance of 17% of expenditures. The proposed 2024 budget excludes funding for staff, fleet replacement, facility improvements, technology, public safety pgorams and other programs and training that the leadership team considers top priority. Depending on 2023 year-end revenues and expenditures, management may present to Council supplemental budget appropriation requests in 2024 in order to add key positions, projects, technology, equipment, and programs. A summary of proposed additions, depending on revenues, follows: Category Amount Notes New Positions $413,014 Amount represents full-year staffing for 5.0 positions. This includes three Police Officers, one Stormwater Supervisor and one Lead Custodian offset for the most part by variable employee savings Vehicle Replacement Program $264,000 Five top priority vehicles have been deferred Facility Improvements $127,000 This includes roof and other facility repairs, electrical upgrades, engineering support and contractual services for facility repairs Technology $114,821 This includes tools and technology to help the City comply with new website accessibility laws, replacement switches, and access control and security enhancements Public Safety Programs $515,400 This includes stormwater priority repairs, an additional drone for the Police Department and ebikes for patrol Other programs and training $83,050 This includes additional comprehensive plan outreach, additional staffing for recreation programs, additional court funding and training TOTAL $1,517,285 Community Partners Grant Program In 2016, City Council created a resident review committee to make recommendations for grant contributions to community partners. In 2023, the Committee reviewed applications and presentations from 26 different community organizations, totally $284,300 in funding requests. The following are the Committee's recommendations for 2024, totaling $200,000, a $40,000 increase over 2023. 19 2024 Proposed Budget The Action Center $8,100 Active Transportation Advisory Team $1,500 Bayaud Enterprises, Inc. $2,600 Court Appointed Special Advocates $8,000 Colorado Youth for Change $6,800 Community Table $13,000 Family Tree $10,000 Friends of Paha $5,580 Hope Connection and Community $4,100 Jefferson Center for Mental Health $24,300 Jefferson County Library Foundation $1,400 Jewish Family Services $5,000 Lutheran Medical Center Foundation $6,000 Mission Arvada of the Rising Church $6,420 Mountain Phoenix Community School $2,800 Outdoor Lab Foundation $20,000 Regional Air Quality Council $4,000 Seniors’ Resource Center $20,000 Severe Weather Shelter Network $8,000 Sunshine Home Share $3,000 Thrive Industries $5,000 Wheat Ridge Community Foundation $6,400 Wheat Ridge High School Farmer's 5000 $6,000 Wheat Ridge High School Instrumental Band Boosters $5,500 Wheat Ridge High School STEM $15,000 Wheat Ridge Optimist Club $1,500 TOTAL $200,000 LONG-TERM 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. Interest accures on the bonds at rates ranging from 3% to 5% per annum. 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 2024 Proposed Budget, $3,500,300 is budgeted for the 2024 debt service. The balance of the debt as of December 31, 2024, will be $9,817,000. Based on 20 2024 Proposed Budget current revenue estimates, the temporary sales and use tax rate will expire at the beginning of 2025, after approximatley 8 years. Additionally, the City has the following long-term financial obligations: Renewal Wheat Ridge The City's Urban Renewal Authority d/b/a Renewal Wheat Ridge is a component unit of the City. Renewal Wheat Ridge acquired a loan on May 14, 2014 in the amount of $2.455 million for the Kipling Ridge commercial center development at 38th and Kipling. The loan accrues interest at 3.16% per annum. The term of this loan expires in 2023 and will be paid from sales and property tax incremental revenue from the Kipling Ridge project. Once this loan is retired, the City's General fund will see a net decrease of approximately $600,000 in expenditures to Renewal Wheat Ridge, starting in Fiscal Year 2024. OTHER COMMITMENTS 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. Annual payments of $80,167, including principal and interest accruing at 5.75%, are due through May 1, 2030. For its participation in the community solar garden, the City has received $438,298 in energy credits from Xcel through 2022 which were used to offset lease payments and against energy consumption at various City facilities. Energy credits have decreased substantially and both the 2023 and 2024 budgets include only $500 in revenues from Xcel energy credits. A remaining balance of $434,238.35 will remain on the lease at the end of Fiscal Year 2024. LOANS RECEIVABLE 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. Attracting and retaining the best talent for the City is a high priority. In 2013, the City launched a pay-for-performance compensation model that ties compensation to performance through demonstrated alignment with values (ACTION – Accountability – Change – Teamwork – Integrity – Opportunity – Now!), technical performance and exceptional customer service. The City continues to implement this pay-for- performance model. The market-based compensation plan, typically updated biennially, consists of three sub-plans 1) a pay- for-performance open range plan, which includes civilian and police sergeants and higher ranks; 2) a sworn seven-step plan, which includes police officer positions; and 3) a part-time employee plan which includes variable non-benefited positions such as lifeguards and seasonal parks workers. The pay plan 21 2024 Proposed Budget was updated in 2022, resulting in wage increases in some grades and movement of some positions. The consultant-led review of the pay plan involved comparing positions against job matches in the Denver/Boulder metro area and aligning compensation appropriately. No changes are recommended for 2024 with the exception of increases to steps one and seven in the police officer pay plan. Employees will be eligible for a performance increase on January 1, 2024, based on how well they meet the core values and competencies of the performance management program. The 2024 Proposed Budget includes approximately $980,000 in pay for performance, annual police department step increases and market and equity increases. This represents an decrease of approximately 10% over 2023 pay increases. Benefits In 2023, the City began providing a more robust and flexible package to employees by joining the Colorado Employer Benefit Trust (CEBT). CEBT is a multiple employer trust for public institutions comprised of over 400 employers with approximately 33,000 employees. CEBT is administered by broker Willis Towers Watson. As a mid-sized employer, the City was limited to one medical insurer for several years but by joining CEBT, the City now offers medical plans with both United Healthcare and Kaiser Permanente along with dental, vision, life and disability benefits. City employees have the option to choose from four different medical plans; Kaiser’s DHMO and High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), and United Healthcare’s PPO4 and HDHP2. Both HDHP options are paired with a Health Savings Account (HSA) seeded with funds from the City to help employees save for their health needs. Employees continue to enjoy dental coverage with Delta Dental and VSP for vision coverage. Additionally, life and accidental death and dismemberment coverage is provided by The Standard. While the staff expects medical coverage premiums to increase in 2024, City premiums are budgeted flat to 2023 as any cost escalations can likely be covered by vacancies. The City currently contributes to a 401(a) retirement plan for nonsworn employees. Employees contribute 4% to the Plan, and the City matches 6% (7% for Department Directors). For sworn employees, the City contributes 11.5%, and employees contribute 10% to the Plan (sworn employees do not contribute to Social Security). Employees also have the option to contribute to a deferred compensation 457 account. Staffing Council approved the increase of 2.0 FTE mid-year in 2023; the IT Project Manager to implement the Enterprise Resource Planning system and the Housing Program Administrator funded in the Wheat Ridge Housing Fund. The 2024 Proposed Budget includes an increase of only 1.0 FTE for new staffing. This will increase total staffing to 273.25 FTEs. 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. 1.0 FTE Senior Deputy City Clerk – City Clerk’s Office This new position will help with the demands of the City Clerk’s Office that have evolved over the last several years due to an active constituency, business community and legislature. Additionally, recent events such as the pandemic and the cyber-attack have placed greater focus on the need for the modernization of processes including records management, elections, public information requests, 22 2024 Proposed Budget liquor licensing, and petitions and referedums. The City Clerk’s Office is currently comprised on one elected City Clerk and one full-time Deputy City Clerk. Overall, the leadership team is working collaboratively to realign staffing resources for maximum efficiency and program excellence. First, to provide greater management, oversight and capacity over construction of capital projects, a Civil Engineer II position is being repurposed to a Capital Improvement Projects Manager in the Public Works Department and two Civil Engineer II positions from Community Development are being moved to Public Works as project managers to create a new Capital Projects division. This team will manage the City’s capital projects from design to final construction. Second, a Community Services Officer from the Police Department, a position which is frequently difficult to fill, is being moved to the Finance division to create a Compliance Officer position. This position will be a point person for challenging licensing issues such as short-term rentals, home- occupation businesses, tobacco licensing and general business license violations and will work in close cooperation with other divisions across the City responsible for enforcing the Code. CONCLUSIONS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The City of Wheat Ridge is in a strong financial position, remains resilient and has many opportunities in this next chapter. Thank you to the Mayor and City Council for your unwavering support, dedication to the community and leadership in building a stronger community. Special thanks go out to Alli Scheck for taking the lead on the 2024 Budget and to her budget team, including Marianne Schilling, Mark Colvin, Reed Smythe, Rhi Curry, Cole Haselip and all department budget staff.

Eight priorities were established to be implemented over the next two years. A series of study sessions have been held where staff presented information, work plans, and ideas and sought feedback from City Council. 1. New Efforts of Engagement in Government; Understanding City Processes City Council seeks to de-mystify government for its constituents. This priority continues efforts to educate the community about how their local government works and broaden community engagement in City processes. 2. Implement Bulk Plane in all Residential Zone Districts City Council adopted residential bulk plane standards in 2016, which apply to single-family homes in the Residential-One C and Residential-Three zone districts. This priority would expand these standards to apply in more residential areas. 3. Re-examine and Advance Sidewalks on 38th Ave W. 38th Avenue has been identified as the City’s “Main Street” in various policy documents and through various community outreach processes. This priority improves safety, walkability, and connectivity along the full length of this primary Wheat Ridge corridor. 4. Review the Vision, Mission, and Funding of Localworks City Council authorized the formation of Wheat Ridge 2020, now Localworks, in 2005 as a non-profit corporation, for the purpose of assisting the City in bringing about community revitalization and setting the direction for and implementing the revitalization strategies. This priority involves a review of current Localworks activities and its vision for the future. 28 2024 Proposed Budget 5. Streamline Permit Processes This priority focuses on improving the permitting and licensing processes for businesses, with an emphasis on small businesses. This includes providing helpful educational materials to make expectations and processes clearer and more transparent and providing seamless internal handoffs. 6. Commercial Corridor Improvements City Council recognizes the crucial role that commercial corridors play in building healthy and vibrant communities. This priority includes a review of codes and programs that affect the vibrancy of commercial corridors. The goal of this priority is to support city businesses and enhance the look of Wheat Ridge by improving the conditions of these corridors. 7. Policy on non-conforming accessory dwelling units (ADUs) Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are secondary, independent housing units with a separate entrance, kitchen, bath, and bed created within an existing home or on its lot. Non-conforming ADUs exist throughout the City. This priority considers the creation of policy to address new and existing ADUs. 8. Develop Solutions and Work with Partners to Address Homelessness The Homeless Navigation Program assists those experiencing homelessness. Along with outreach and community education, the program is connecting individuals to stable, permanent housing and seeking partnerships and opportunities to address these challenges on a larger scale. 29 2024 Proposed Budget COMMUNITY INPUT ON THE 2024 BUDGET 1. City Council Meetings • July 17: Community Partners Grants Program The Committee presented funding recommendations and received consensus from City Council to fund 26 outside agencies in 2024 in the amount of $200,000. • Public’s Right to Speak Members of the public have the right to speak at either of the two Council Meetings held each month. This fundamental tenet of democratic participation in local government provides individuals with the opportunity to voice their budget related concerns, opinions, and suggestions directly to City Councilors and City staff members. 2. What’s Up Wheat Ridge The City hosts a City Budget project page at WhatsUpWheatRidge.com to provide another avenue for community input on the budget. 3. Resident Survey Every two years, the City of Wheat Ridge surveys its residents; asking about overall quality of life and specific feedback about municipal services, public safety, park and recreation amenities, customer service, and resident participation in community events and activities. This year, feedback received in the 2023 Resident Survey provided guidance to propose the following projects in the 2024 budget: • $11,162,000 for the Wadsworth Blvd. improvement project. • $1,666,667 for improving bicycle/pedestrian transportation. • $450,000 contributed toward building an RTD bus terminal at Clear Creek Crossing. • $360,000 for continuing the School Resource Officer program. • $200,000 for creating Stormwater Master Plan. • Many more budget items are directly related to resident survey results. 4. Let’s Talk Program The Let’s Talk Resident Engagement Program was born out of the 2019 Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy and is designed to learn more about what's important to residents in each neighborhood. The program breaks the city down into 10 neighborhoods. One major To ensure each year’s City Budget is supporting programs and services that are important to the community, staff asks for feedback from the community and aligns it with City Council Strategic Priorities. The avenues to provide community input on the City Budget are included in the list below. 30 2024 Proposed Budget goal of the program is to develop a thorough, well documented understanding of the issues and opportunities at the neighborhood level. Based upon specific feedback received from the Let’s Talk program in 2023, additional funding has been proposed to support these programs: • $3,900,000 for the Youngfield Streetscape Improvement Project including public art improvements. • $125,000 for the City’s Neighborhood Traffic Management Program. • $45,000 for Comprehensive Plan engagement. • $21,000 to continue funding Wheat Ridge Speaks. • $20,000 for tree plantings. • Many more budget items are directly related to Let’s Talk Program results. 31 2024 Proposed Budget WHEAT RIDGE - NEXT CHAPTER 32 2024 Proposed Budget 33 2024 Proposed Budget Fund Name Expenditures General $48,634,419 CIP $16,582,667 RWR Bond Project $10,587,210 Open Space $8,029,870 2E Bond $3,500,300 Other Special Funds $2,726,328 Total Expenditures $90,060,794 2024 Total Fund Expenditures (Excluding Transfers) Other Special Funds Fund Name Expenditures Conservation Trust $767,950 Crime Prevention $709,868 Equipment Replacement $627,000 Public Art $431,000 WR Housing Fund $163,010 Municipal Court $18,500 Police Investigation $9,000 Total Expenditures $2,726,328 2024 General Fund Expenditures (Excluding Transfers) Department Expenditures Police $15,106,593 Parks and Recreation $7,381,356 Public Works $6,147,519 Administrative Services $5,488,647 Central Charges $5,835,540 General Government $4,019,972 Community Development $3,403,094 Municipal Court $1,251,698 Total Expenditures $48,634,419 PROPOSED BUDGET IN BRIEF Police, 31% Parks and Recreation, 15% Public Works, 13% Administrative Services, 11% Central Charges, 12%General Government, 8% Community Development, 7% Municipal Court, 3% 2024 General Fund Expenditures General , 54.0% RWR Bond Project, 11.8% CIP, 18.4% 2E Bond, 3.9% Open Space, 8.9% Other Special Funds, 3.0% 2024 Total Expenditures 34 2024 Proposed Budget 2024 General Fund Revenues Revenue Source Revenue Beginning Fund Balance $18,304,374 Sales Tax $26,011,907 Use Tax $5,805,000 Services $3,943,752 Other Taxes $3,583,000 Licenses $2,624,100 Intergovernmental $2,061,391 Property Tax $1,500,000 Interest $900,817 Other $523,480 Fines $202,500 Total Revenues $47,155,947 Total Available Funds $65,460,321 Sales Tax Distribution Property Tax Distribution The total sales tax rate in the City of Wheat Ridge is 8%.

In 2017, City Council adopted Resolution 02-2017, establishing the 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 bonds that generated $33 million in funds 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: Project complete • 2E funds spent: $20,955,141 The City initially allocated $10 million of 2E funds towards the 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 pay the total cost of the access ramp project and be reimbursed for all expenses above $10 million once bonds are issued by LPMD. LMPD repaid the City approximately $9.8 million in November 2021 and the repayment was captured as revenue in the Capital Improvement Project (CIP) fund for future spending per Council’s direction. The access ramp project was complete in the summer of 2022. Development activities are underway at Clear Creek Crossing. The multifamily housing development, a convenience store and gas station and Foothills Credit Union are open for 210 2024 Proposed Budget business. A number of other private developments are under construction, under the City’s review or in the planning stages. Finally, a new hospital campus is under construction by Intermountain Health and is scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2024. 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: Under construction and funded by the CIP Fund • Projected 2E Funds spent through 2024: $7,470,060 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. The design and right-of-way phases were largely completed in 2022. The 2E funding, along with $1.4 million of additional Capital Improvement Program (CIP) funds, were used to provide the City’s local match for the federal transportation grant that was used to complete the pre-Construction phases of the project, which totaled $22.6 million. The funding for construction which started in 2021 and is expected to continue through 2025 is included in the CIP budget, Fund 30. Wheat Ridge · Ward Station • Status: Design, right-of-way acquisitions and construction underway and funded by the Renewal Wheat Ridge Bond Projects Fund • 2E Funds spent: $2,414,643 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 were completed in 2021, with construction starting in 2023. Designs for a pedestrian bridge, plaza, and trail from the station area south to the I-70 frontage are 30% complete.

The estimated cost is $6 million with a grant contributing $890,000 towards the bike/ped improvements. • Youngfield Bridge Repair – Critical repairs will be made around the piers to the bridge over Clear Creek to restore scour damage. • Clear Creek Crossing Bus Terminal – This project will construct a 2-bay bus terminal along Clear Creek Drive south of 40th Avenue. This terminal will allow Routes 28 and 32 to both serve Clear Creek Crossing and western Wheat Ridge. Tabor Street Multi-Modal Study – This project will begin in 2025 to investigate the feasibility of adding bike/ped facilities along Tabor Street from Clear Creek to I-70. A grant will fund $3.6 million of this $4 million project. BE N E F I T S The beautification of the I-70/32nd Avenue/Youngfield Street corridor and the addition of the bus terminal will support the City’s premier shopping centers. Providing bike/ped facilities along Tabor Street will provide connections to Clear Creek from north of I-70.

Improvements include: • Installation of a pedestrian bridge over the tracks, including plazas on each end. • Construction of a shared use trail from the south plaza to the I-70 Frontage Road. The total cost of the right-of-way and improvements is $12.5 million with a grant contributing $8.3 million towards the construction. The traffic signal at 44th and Eldridge will also be replaced. The decades old signal was inherited from Jefferson County and can no longer be repaired. It is also the location of a railroad crossing and therefore is important to upgrade for safety. BE N E F I T S Public infrastructure investments at the Wheat Ridge · Ward Station Area facilitate and enhance private sector investments. The investments are creating a new mixed-use, multi-modal, and pedestrian-friendly neighborhood by providing a connection between the jobs and housing on either side of the tracks.

Introduction The City’s compensation plan for employees is designed as a: • Financially sustainable plan that supports recruitment and retention of top talent. • Market-based plan, fully aligned with the City’s performance management plan (PMP) and is reflective of an overall pay-for-performance system of total rewards. • Pay-for-performance model, 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. 2. Compensation Philosophy and Strategy • 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 qualified 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 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 City utilizes an open-range, market-driven, pay-for-performance approach to grade structure, pay plan design, and job placement. • The total compensation package consists of base pay, retirement, comprehensive health benefits, peer recognition, and wellness programs, as well as development opportunities based on financial conditions and strategic objectives. 3. Job Analysis and Evaluation • Human Resources (HR) reviews each job description and analyzes compensable factors, such as education, critical skills, responsibility, etc. HR will match these compensable factors to local market job matches with at least 75% comparable duties/skills/responsibilities/etc. Internal job classification and grade placement also consider internal equity. 222 2024 Proposed Budget • A grade’s midpoint is 50% above the minimum and is considered “market” (or meets market) and that mid-point is used to guide grade placement. • Mid-points are established for each job classification and grades are assigned based on these mid-points in an open-range format. 4. Open Market Pay Structure • An open market pay structure reflects prevailing wage rates in the local job market, which is the “Denver/Boulder” compensation market – including private and public organizations. • Pay grade structure and salary ranges are established based on market data and job evaluation results. The City currently has 20 grades for non-sworn, 7 steps for sworn, select pay ranges for sworn management, and a variable-hour employee pay plan. All are market driven. • Mid-point separation and grade spread amongst grades are analyzed by HR and the compensation consultant during market analysis. HR implements any changes into pay plans which are approved by City Council during the budget cycle. • Other factors in the total compensation program include retirement, health, and other benefits and are determined using market data from select front range municipalities, depending on the benefit. 5. Market Analysis and Benchmarking • Compensation consultant’s databases and guidance are used in semi-annual market analysis. However, market analysis can occur more frequently than bi-annually, which is an industry norm, if job market conditions warrant and budget approved. • Position benchmarks are based on job duties and compensable factors, not job titles. • The City conducted a full market analysis in 2022 which resulted in movements to some positions and grades in 2023. The City consulted with a compensation consultant in 2023 to determine if additional grade movements were necessary for 2024. No grade or position movements are necessary for 2024, with the exception of pay rates for steps 1 and 7 in the Police Officer Pay Plan. 6. Pay-for-Performance Performance Management • Employee goals are connected to business and workgroup objectives. • Employee and Supervisor competencies are evaluated differently. • Employee Development goals benefit the organization and employee. • Scored measurement of employee performance favors demonstration of City values in how employees work and is currently over 60% of the total weighted score. • Higher scores indicate greater wage increases based on this philosophy. 223 2024 Proposed Budget • Wheat Ridge uses technical competency, values, behaviors, and goals to evaluate overall performance scores. The definitions for values and scoring criteria are kept by HR and subject to periodic changes and adjustments. • Supervisors set performance goals and objectives, communicate them to employees, and evaluate them in a transparent manner. • PMP scores are reviewed by Executive Management via “calibration”, to help reduce rater bias and adherence to City values and norms. 8. Merit-Based Compensation Increases • Wheat Ridge grants annual merit-based pay increases to employees who consistently meet or exceed performance expectations. The increase depends on ability to pay and budget approval. Current practice (some years have exceptions): o Standard benefited employees receive a base wage increase % equal to their overall annual PMP score. o Variables do not receive merit increases but do receive a discretionary annual wage increase subject to budget and HR’s recommendations. o Step increases driven by market to sworn officers; there are 7 steps, step 1 is unsworn cadet. o As of 2023 Command staff pay grade start-points are separated by the following:  Sergeant grade starts 7% higher than Step 7.  Commander grade starts 7% higher than Sergeant.  Division Chief grade starts 22% higher than Commander. 9. Bonus and Incentive Programs • For employees at the maximum of their pay grade, a one-time bonus of up to $1000, $1200 or $1500 depending on PMP rating (Meets, Exceeds or Exceptional; respectively) is paid in lieu of a wage increase. • Bonuses and other incentives, such as front-loaded paid time off, may be used in circumstances at HR’s approval for hiring and/or retaining excellent employees. • The City offers many other benefits outlined in other documents, which are kept based on ability to pay, utilization and business value. For example, Directors receive a car allowance each month for all the driving required by their role. They in turn do not receive reimbursement for actual mileage driven. 10. Employee Communication and Transparency • HR maintains the Compensation Philosophy and it is approved by the Deputy City Manager and/or City Manager. • Wheat Ridge will endeavor to provide transparency to employees in compensation decisions and how compensation efforts impact their pay. 224 2024 Proposed Budget 11. Legal and Regulatory Compliance The City of Wheat Ridge observes relevant labor laws, regulations, and equal employment opportunity guidelines when designing and implementing the compensation plan. HR is responsible for monitoring regulations for necessary compliance adjustments. 12. Monitoring, Review, and Adjustments • Pay Plans - 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 seven-step sworn plan and open range plan for traditionally non-benefited part-time and variable hour employees. • Cost of Living Adjustment – Wheat Ridge does not, as a practice, provide COLAs. However, when job market circumstances warrant, COLAs are another compensation tool which may be used. NOTE: in August 2022, the City implemented a mid-year cost of living adjustment (COLA) due to the market increase in the Denver/Boulder area in order to attract and retain qualified talent. • Equity Adjustments – When a promotional wage increase, job transfer, or new employee’s starting wage impacts equity for other employees in their workgroup and/or pay grade, HR may recommend equity increase(s) for impacted employees. • Market Survey Update and Adjustments– Wheat Ridge conducts semi-annual market surveys to properly adjust pay grades, adjust the structure of the pay plan(s), and guide market-adjustment recommendations for employees. NOTE: Wheat Ridge has conducted annual market surveys due to job market conditions since 2020. • Market adjustments – When structural pay challenges present – like compression – HR may recommend adjustments to individuals, workgroups, or City-wide. Ability to pay is the main factor each year in deploying market adjustments. • Partially Funded Pay Plan – The City tries to ensure employees make 5% over their grade minimum and no more than the grade maximum when a new pay plan is effective. An employee’s position in the grade (compa ratio - CompR) is not adjusted automatically in accordance with grade movement. • Competitive Pay – employees who demonstrate excellent performance and who have at least 5 years’ experience in their current role, who have a CompR of less than 1.0 may be considered under a competitive pay rate, and HR may recommend appropriate adjustments, provided budget is available. • Timing of Annual Review - Following the performance evaluation due dates scheduled in the fall (currently Oct 1 – Sept 30), employees may receive an increase based on how they met the core values and competencies for their evaluation. • 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. 225 2024 Proposed Budget Jan Feb March April May June July August September October November December • The City measures total compensation success - via employee engagement, retention, and performance feedback. 13. Structure and Timelines for Pay Plans Standard-Benefited Employees • Common Review Date - Our performance year starts October 1 and ends September 30 of the following year. Our common review date is September 30th each year. • End of March, Goals - Each employee sets goals for the coming year in consultation with their supervisor by the end of March each year. • End of May, Mid-Year Evaluation - Each employee receives a mid-year evaluation, so they can learn, correct, and improve performance. This is unscored and conducted between March and May. • December, PMP score – Supervisors review employee’s self-evaluations, as well as any performance notes throughout the year they kept - including the mid-year review - before assigning an overall PMP score to their employees. A “PMP score” is the current term we use for the overall rating most non-sworn employees receive during their annual performance evaluation. Employees who have a PMP score of “meets expectations” or higher are eligible each year for a performance-based increase to their base wage. This includes all sworn PD command staff, but not step-based officers or variable-hour employees. The current overall score range is roughly between 2.69 – 5.0. . Typical Cycle: • Employee Self Eval due Oct 1- 15 • Manager Eval due Oct. 16 – Nov 15 • Calibration- By 1st week of Dec. • Supervisor/EE Feedback- Mid December to First week of Jan. •Mid-Year Evaluation takes place. •Set Goal- Enter on Annual Review. Evaluating work from October to September of the following year 226 2024 Proposed Budget Overall PMP Ratings • 1.0 – 2.69: Does Not Meet (Expectations) – no wage increase; PIP may be implemented • 2.70 – 3.69: Meets expectations. • 3.70 – 4.20: Exceeds expectations. • 4.21 – 5.00: Exceptional performance. Effective Wage Increases - standard-benefited Wheat Ridge employees sharing a common- review date learn their PMP scores in December and receive their related wage increases in January of the following year. Police Officer Steps • Officer step plans are based on a separate market of local municipal agencies with police step officers. • Officers receive 3 end-of-shift rotation performance evaluations, each year. These are unscored and consulted in promotional and development opportunities by management. • Officers on steps receive effective wage increases in December or June, annually, depending on when they were hired. • Officer step increases are based on market analysis. Variable-Hour Employees • Variables do not receive merit increases but do receive a discretionary annual wage increase subject to department budget ability to pay and HR’s recommendations. • Effective wage increases occur in March and are based on tenure and position. New Employees New employees start at all times of the year and need to complete probation and synchronize their performance evaluation to synchronize with our common-review date. • New Employees are currently hired at a minimum of 5% over the minimum of the appropriate grade to avoid compression. • New employees will receive a pro-rated increase based on the annual calendar – as this is when wage increases are also effective. • Employees starting between January and April 15th will receive a PMP evaluation their first year, provided they have successfully completed probation by September 30. • Employees starting after April 15th will not receive a PMP evaluation because they will be on probation at the conclusion of the performance year. They will receive a PMP evaluation the following year. 227 2024 Proposed Budget • New employees will receive a pro-rated increase for the year. Employees who received a PMP score will receive a pro-rated increase based on their score. Employees who started after April 15th and did not receive a PMP score will receive a pro-rated amount of the City’s average PMP score for that year for standard employees. • For example, if someone starts in June, they will receive 7/12 of the average PMP increase seen that year. If the City-wide PMP average was, for example, 3% then they would receive ((7/12)*03)*100= 1.75% increase in January. • The start date of a new hire does matter. Starting before the 16th of a month results in receiving credit for a whole month that same month. Starting on after the 16th of a month results in receiving credit for a whole month, starting the following month. For example, if someone starts April 10th, they will get 9/12 of an average increase. If they start April 16th, the individual will get 8/12 of an average increase (treating them as though they started in May). December is the exception: employees starting December 1-31 do not receive an increase the following January. • Table of pro-rated increases for new employees: Months Fraction of Average Increase January 12/12 February 11/12 March 10/12 April 9/12 May 8/12 June 7/12 July 6/12 August 5/12 September 4/12 October 3/12 November 2/12 December 0/12 228 2024 Proposed Budget Promotions/Transfers: (practice started in 2023) • A person promoted will receive a PMP score based on their new role. This should be considered by HR when establishing a job offer for the new role. • 5% - 10% is the range for promotional increases, unless there are factors warranting more/less, including ensuring the employee is at least 5% over the minimum of the grade. 229 2024 Proposed Budget 2024 Police Officer Post Certified Recruit Graduated FTO completed 1 year Steps 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Annual $66,950 $68,557 $73,000 $77,851 $82,522 $87,500 $103,000 Hourly $32.19 $32.96 $35.10 $37.43 $39.67 $42.07 $49.52 2.4%6.5%6.5%6.5%6.5%17.1% Sergeant $110,292 Commander Division Chief $144,065 Police Officer Pay Plan Police Department % spread between steps Range Minimum Range Maximum $223,168 Range Minimum Range Maximum Range Minimum Range Maximum $148,903 $118,067 $183,032 230 2024 Proposed Budget Non-Exempt Summary Report 2024 Range Range Range Minimum Midpoint Maximum Salary Grade 10 Salary Grade 20 $35,360 $41,495 $47,630 Parks & Recreation Custodian $17.0000 $19.9495 $22.8020 Salary Grade 30 $38,020 $45,626 $53,230 Parks & Recreation Maintenance Worker I - Parks $18.2788 $21.9356 $25.5918 Public Works Maintenance Worker I - Public Works Parks & Recreation Recreation Leader Salary Grade 40 $40,804 $48,965 $57,126 Parks & Recreation Forestry Assistant $19.6173 $23.5409 $27.4644 Parks & Recreation Garden Coordinator Parks & Recreation Head Lifeguard Parks & Recreation Horticulture Assistant Salary Grade 50 $43,730 $52,470 $61,210 Administrative Services Accounting Technician $21.0240 $25.2260 $29.4279 Administrative Services Administrative Specialist Police Department Civilian Report Taker Parks & Recreation Facility Assistant Municipal Court Judicial Assistant I Administrative Services Licensing Technician Parks & Recreation Maintenance Worker II - Parks Parks & Recreation Operations Support Technician II - P&R Administrative Services Payroll Specialist Parks & Recreation Pool Manager Police Department Records Management Specialist I Administrative Services Revenue Technician Salary Grade 60 $50,280 $60,341 $70,400 Mayor's Office Administrative Assist. to Mayor & City Council $24.1750 $29.0101 $33.8452 Community Development Administrative Assistant - Comm.

This budget complies with the Accounting, Budgeting and Financial Policies set forth below. 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 the 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 318 2024 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 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 the 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 Renewal Wheat Ridge Bond Fund. 319 2024 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 is located in the CIP tab of this budget document. Renewal Wheat Ridge Bond Projects Fund In June 2021, the Wheat Ridge Urban Renewal Authority dba Renewal Wheat Ridge (RWR) adopted Resolution 17‐2021, authorizing the issuance of bonds to be used for public improvements within the I‐70/Kipling Corridor Urban Renewal Plan Area (Plan Area). The 2022 budget includes a new fund to pay for capital improvement projects on public property. Each year, for the duration of the fund, RWR will transfer a payment to the fund to be used for project expenditures. The estimated budget for the life of the fund is included in the RWR Bond Projects tab of this budget document. 320 2024 Proposed Budget Governmental Fund Types General Fund Special Revenue Funds Public Art Fund Police Investigation Fund Open Space Fund Municipal Court Fund Conservation Trust Fund Equipment Replacement Fund Crime Prevention/ Code Enforcement Fund Wheat Ridge Housing Fund Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Investing 4 the Future (2E)Renewal Wheat Ridge Bond Fund Major Fund Types Funds in green boxes are considered “Major Funds.” Major funds represent significant activities and include any fund whose revenues or expenditures constitute more than 10% of the revenues or expenditures of the appropriated budget. 321 2024 Proposed Budget Budget Process & Timeline In accordance with the City Charter, the annual budget process and timeline are 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 Statutes, 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, Deputy City Manager and Finance Manager prepare a set of Audited Financial Statements 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 Audited Financial Statements show the status of the City’s finances on the basis of GAAP, along with 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. 322 2024 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, refunding, 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, a 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 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 323 2024 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 evidence 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 governmental 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 324 2024 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- closure 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. 325 2024 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 326 2024 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. 327 2024 Proposed Budget Adjusted - Adjusted, as used in the department and division summaries within the budget document, represents the budget, including any mid-year adjustments.
