Budget Message
October 8, 2018
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
I present to the Mayor and City Council the 2019 Adopted Budget. This Budget provides the framework
for providing services and programs to the citizens of Wheat Ridge for the year 2019, based on the
delivery of core services and priorities identified in the City Council Strategic Plan.
OVERALL SUMMARY
The total 2019 Adopted Budget including the General Fund, the CIP Fund, 8 special revenue funds and
the 2E Investing 4 the Future Fund is $75,721,283. The Budget is based on projected revenues of
$54,002,142. The beginning fund balance for 2019 is projected at $43,027,787, which brings the total
available funds to $97,029,929. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of $21,308,646.
General Fund $35,592,686
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Fund $10,552,000
Special Revenue Funds $7,190,839
2E Investing 4 the Future Fund $22,385,758
Total $75,721,283
General Fund
General Fund revenue is projected at $35,562,186, which is a 1.5% increase compared to 2018 year-end
estimated revenues and a 3.8% increase compared to what was originally budgeted in 2018. In addition,
the beginning fund balance for 2019 is projected at $13,286,933, which brings the total available funds
for the General Fund to $48,849,119.
General Fund expenditures total $35,592,686, excluding transfers. General Fund expenditures represent
a 1.2% increase compared to the adjusted 2018 Budget. The ending fund balance for the General Fund is
projected at $9,216,433, of which $6,814,963 (19.1% of operating expenditures) is considered
unrestricted. The City’s financial policies require that the City maintain a minimum unrestricted fund
balance of at least two months or approximately 17% of its General Fund operating expenditures, as
recommended by the Government Finance Officers Association.
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Fund
CIP Fund revenue is projected at $10,568,000 ($3,040,000 transferred from the General Fund) which is a
76% increase compared to the 2018 estimated revenue. In addition, the beginning fund balance for
2019 is projected at $10,792, which brings the total available funds for the CIP Fund to $10,578,792.
CIP expenditures total $10,552,000, which is a 36% increase, compared to the adjusted 2018 Budget.
This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of $26,792.
10 2019 Adopted Budget

Special Revenue Fund – Open Space
Open Space revenue is projected at $2,340,247 which is a 26% decrease compared to the 2018
estimated revenue. The large decrease is primarily due to a projected parkland sale in 2018 and more
grants and developer fees in 2018. The beginning fund balance for 2019 is projected at $1,731,580,
which brings the total available funds for the Open Space Fund to $4,071,827.
Open Space projects for 2019 include:
• Renovation of Prospect Park – Phase 2
• Reconstruction of Anderson Park
• Construction of “The Green” community plaza

Funding is also appropriated for seven Parks maintenance workers and the Forestry and Open Space
Supervisor. Open Space expenditures total $3,518,980, which is a 22% decrease compared to the
adjusted 2018 Budget. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of $552,847, of which
$127,362 is restricted to park improvements at the Wheat Ridge Ward station area.
The future five-year Open Space Budget proposes the continuation of miscellaneous open space
improvements, parks maintenance projects, trail replacement and repair, Prospect Park improvements,
improvements to a new Public Works and Parks operations facility, and funding for Parks employees.
11 2019 Adopted Budget
Special Revenue Fund – Conservation Trust
Conservation Trust revenue is projected at $324,000, which is a 2.7% decrease compared to the 2018
estimated revenue. In addition, the beginning fund balance for 2019 is projected at $46,726, which
brings the total available funds for the Conservation Trust Fund to $370,726.
Conservation Trust projects for 2019 include:
• Renovation of Anderson Building
• Recreation Center maintenance projects
• New playground at the Recreation Center
• Resurface of tennis and basketball courts

2018 Budget. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of $67,026.
The future Five-Year Conservation Trust Budget proposes to provide funds for Recreation Center
maintenance needs, parks maintenance projects, resurfacing of tennis/basketball courts, playground
replacement, and facility improvements to the Parks Maintenance Shops.
Special Revenue Fund – Recreation Center
Recreation Center Operations revenue for 2019 is projected at $2,223,392, which is an increase of 1.9%,
compared to the 2018 estimated revenue. In addition, the beginning fund balance for 2019 is projected
at $278,165, which brings the total available funds for the Recreation Center Operations Fund to
$2,501,557.
Recreation Center expenditures total $2,489,411, which is a 1.8% decrease compared to the adjusted
2018 Budget. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of $12,146.
Special Revenue Funds – Other
Several other Special Revenue Funds are also included in this Budget to track revenues and expenditures
that are designated by law to be used for specific purposes or are used to simplify the budgeting
process. Those funds include Public Art, Police Investigation, Municipal Court, Equipment Replacement,
and Crime Prevention/Code Enforcement. Detailed revenue and expenditure information for these
funds can be found in the Special Revenue Funds and the Line Item Accounts sections of the Budget.
2E Investing 4 the Future Fund
The 2E Investing 4 the Future Fund was created in 2017 as a special fund to account for the 2E bond and
debt activity. 2019 revenues from the 0.5% sales and use tax, interest and reimbursements are
projected at $6,223,292. In addition, the beginning fund balance for 2019 is projected at $26,780,258,
which brings the total available funds for the 2E Fund to $33,003,550.
2E Fund expenditures total $22,385,758, of which $18,887,458 is for 2E project expenditures and
$3,498,300 is for debt service on the 2E bonds. This will provide for a projected ending fund balance of
$10,617,792.
12 2019 Adopted Budget
2E Investing 4 the Future projects for 2019 include:
• Final construction of the hook ramps on I-70 for the Clear Creek Crossing development

SHORT-TERM FISCAL CHALLENGES/OPPORTUNITIES
Sales Tax and General Fund Revenue
Sales tax, the City’s largest revenue source, for 2019 is projected to increase by 5.4% compared to 2018
estimated revenue. Approximately one-third of this increase is attributed to the Wheat Ridge Corners
development. Overall, total General Fund revenue for 2019 is projected to increase by 1.5% compared
to 2018 year-end estimated revenue and increase by 3.8% compared to what was originally budgeted in
the 2018 budget.
Redevelopment Projects
Walmart closed its doors in Wheat Ridge on July 7, 2017, which continues to impact total City revenues
due to the associated loss in sales tax revenue. Regency Centers, the owner of the Applewood Shopping
Center where Walmart was located, is in active negotiations with four national retail tenants to backfill
the Walmart space. The exact date when those tenants will open for business is unknown, but it is
anticipated to be in the 4th quarter of 2019. Because of this uncertainty, sales tax revenue from these
tenants has not been factored into the 2019 Budget. These four tenants are projected to generate
between $800,000 and $900,000 in sales tax revenue annually.
The Corners at Wheat Ridge is currently under construction and the anchor tenant, Lucky’s Market,
opened on August 6, 2018 and several other retail tenants are scheduled to open before the end of
2018. The 2018 Budget includes three months of revenue from this project in the amount of $215,500.
When the project is fully built out, an additional 75,000 sq. ft. of commercial retail space will be added
to the City. The project is projected to generate approximately $650,000 in sales tax revenue annually.
The Clear Creek Crossing project entitlements and public finance agreement were finalized and
approved in 2018. The developer is finalizing the leasing plan for potential tenants to include retail,
residential, a medical campus, hospitality and entertainment. The retail component of the project will
likely open in 2020; therefore, no new sales tax revenue from this project is included in the 2019 budget.
The Longs Peak Metropolitan District (LPMD) will reimburse the City $507,038 for the environmental
assessment expense the City incurred over the last several years for the I-70 hook ramp project. The
reimbursement will occur when the LPMD issues bonds for the Clear Creek Crossing project, likely in
2019. This reimbursement revenue has not been factored into the 2019 budget. Once the project is fully
built out, sales tax, lodging, admissions and use tax revenue is projected to total $1.8 million annually.
Several other commercial redevelopment projects across the City are projected to increase sales tax
revenue starting sometime in 2019. Approximately 22,500 sq. ft. of additional restaurant and fast casual
food options will be constructed across the City including Hacienda Colorado and a fast casual restaurant
at the Applewood Shopping Center, a fast casual restaurant at the Kipling Ridge project and other
13 2019 Adopted Budget
neighborhood commercial retail options at the West End 38 project. In total, all projects are projected to
generate approximately $300,000 in sales tax revenue annually.

15 2019 Adopted Budget
DEBT
At the regular general election held on November 8, 2016, the electorate of the City approved ballot
question 2E, which temporarily increased the sales and use tax levied by the City by one-half of one
percent (3% to 3.5%) for up to 12 years or when $38.5 million is raised, whichever occurs first. It also
authorized the issuance of debt to finance City investment in public infrastructure to facilitate economic
development opportunities. Sales and use tax revenue bonds were issued on May 2, 2017 to finance
four specific City investments including Anderson Park, Wadsworth Boulevard, Wheat Ridge Ward G Line
station development and the Clear Creek Crossing development.
The par amount of the bond issue was $30,595,000 with a net premium of $2,687,079 for a total of
$33,282,079. Of this amount $33 million was deposited into Fund 31 for the four specific City
investments, $152,975 was allocated for the underwriter’s discount and $129,104 for costs associated
with the bond issue. The maximum repayment cost of the bonds will not exceed $38,500,000 and
maximum annual repayment cost will not exceed $3,700,000. In the budget, $3,498,300 is budgeted for
the 2019 annual debt service.
Ballot question 2E restricted the increase of taxes in the 2017 fiscal year to $3,700,000 and by whatever
additional amount is received for the 11 years thereafter. Due to an increase in use tax revenues from
the May 8, 2017 hailstorm, 2E revenues exceeded this cap by $457,931. City Council approved a
resolution to submit a question to the November 2018 ballot asking voters to allow the City to retain the
revenue overage. Additional information about the 2E ballot question and Fund 31 can be found behind
the 2E Fund tab in this notebook.
Additionally, the City has the following long-term financial obligations:
Renewal Wheat Ridge
The City’s Urban Renewal Authority (Renewal Wheat Ridge), is a component unit of the City. Renewal
Wheat Ridge provided a loan in the amount of $2.455 million, accruing interest at 3.16% per annum, for
the Kipling Ridge commercial center development at 38th and Kipling. The term of this loan expires in
2023 and will be paid from sales and property tax incremental revenue from the Kipling Ridge project.
The balance of the loan as of December 31, 2018, will be $1.673 million.
Community Solar Garden
On March 23, 2015, the City entered into an agreement to purchase electric generating capacity in a solar
garden. The agreement was funded on April 13, 2015, with a lease agreement for $800,000. The solar
power capacity is recorded as capital assets in the amount of $776,628. A portion of the loan proceeds was
used to pay issuance costs of $23,372. Annual payments of $80,167, including principal and interest
accruing at 5.75%, are due through May 1, 2030. As of December 31, 2018, the City has a capital lease
outstanding amount of $667,218. For its participation, it is estimated the City will receive $60,000 in
energy credits from Xcel in 2019 to be used to pay this lease and against energy consumption at various
facilities.
Fruitdale School Lofts
In 2016, the City Council approved a loan in the amount of $2.585 million from General Fund reserves to
the Fruitdale School Partners. The loan was for the redevelopment of the Fruitdale School property into a
16 2019 Adopted Budget
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; therefore, maintaining
this investment is a high priority. In 2013, the City launched a new compensation plan for full-time/part-
time benefited employees that is financially sustainable and is a plan that will help the City recruit and
retain top talent. Additionally, the compensation plan is market-based and fully aligned with the
Performance Management Project (PMP) that has culminated in the full implementation of a pay-for-
performance system. The City’s pay-for-performance model is consistent with the culture and
commitment to A.C.T.I.O.N! - the City’s core values of Accountability – Change – Teamwork – Integrity –
Opportunity – Now! It is important for the City to reward employees who exemplify these core values
and who help achieve the City’s strategic results.
The compensation plan consists of two sub plans 1) a pay-for-performance open range plan, which
includes civilian and police sergeants and higher ranks, and 2) a sworn step plan, which includes police
officer I and II positions. Employees will be eligible for a performance increase on January 1, 2019, based
on how well they meet the core values and competencies of the PMP system.
The pay-for-performance budget is determined on an annual basis according to what comparable
organizations are providing and what the City can afford for that fiscal year. The City will conduct the
next biennial market review in 2018. The 2019 budget includes $460,000 to fund performance increases
for both sub plans. The updated plan is under development and will be included in the final budget
document.
Benefits
The City continues to provide a competitive benefits package to employees that includes medical,
dental, life and disability benefits. Throughout the year, staff works closely with the City’s benefit
broker, IMA, to ensure that the City is controlling benefit costs while still providing a competitive
benefits package to its employees, which is a vital part of the City’s total compensation approach to pay.
The City currently provides Kaiser Permanente plans for employee medical benefits. Medical premiums
will not experience an increase for 2019. There are several key factors that play a role in calculating the
City’s health care premium renewal. The City’s Wellness Program is a positive contributing factor to the
minimal premium increase. Historically, the City’s premium increases ranged from 10 – 15%, which
continues to be the market average. The City will continue to encourage enrollment and active
participation in the Wellness Program. There will be no increases to the dental, life and short-term
disability premiums in 2019.
In 2018, the City will continue to offer the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) and the Deductible HMO
(DHMO) added in 2017. The HDHP plan was added in 2013 and is a consumer model of health care
paired with a Health Savings Account (HSA). The goal of the consumer-driven HDHP and DHMO is to
encourage employees to manage costs through effective use of health care.
17 2019 Adopted Budget
The City currently contributes to a 401(a) retirement plan for nonsworn employees. Employees
contribute 4% to the plan and the City matches 4%. The Employee Retirement Committee conducted a
survey of other neighboring Colorado communities and determined that the City is under market for
retirement contributions. The average governmental retirement contribution for the 15 cities surveyed
is 6.04%. To continue to remain competitive and to attract the best talent as possible, the 2019 Budget
includes funding in the amount of approximately $180,000 to increase the City’s retirement match to
6%.
Staffing
In 2018, the City’s staffing level was at 243.375 FTE’s and decreased by 18.0 FTE’s, to a total of 225.375
FTE’s, due to the regionalization of the Police Department communications center and the outsourcing
of the City’s building division. The 2019 staffing level will increase by a net of 9.0 FTE’s for a total of
234.375 FTE’s in all funds.
General Fund
2.0 FTE Parks Maintenance Worker I – Parks and Recreation
These two positions will assist in the maintenance of new park amenities that have been added to the
City’s inventory over the last several years without an increase in maintenance staff. Those amenities
include Hopper Hollow Park, Discovery Park and improvements to Anderson and Prospect Parks. Within
these parks comes an increase of 490,000 sq. ft. of sod, 15 additional irrigation lines, 34,000 sq. ft. of
connecting walking paths and additional concrete areas and several new picnic shelters and bleachers.
These new positions will also assist in the installation and removal of the new portable fence at
Anderson Park. These new positions will assist the City in addressing the 2035 Vision Topic “Wheat Ridge
residents enjoy an active, healthy lifestyle.”
1.0 FTE Forestry Assistant – Parks and Recreation
In 2002, the City had 7.0 FTE dedicated to forestry and horticultural services throughout the City.
Staffing levels were reduced to 3.0 FTE since that time as were required by budget cuts and other
restraints. Since 2002, four additional parks have been constructed and additional right-of-way
maintenance responsibilities (38th Ave streetscape, G Line TOD site, Kipling and I-70 entry and exit ramp
landscaping, 50th Avenue median, etc.) have increased the workload for the Forestry and Natural
Resources programs. This new position will assist the City in addressing the 2035 Vision Topic “Wheat
Ridge is an attractive and inviting City.”
1.0 FTE Horticultural Assistant – Parks and Recreation
In 2002, the City had 7.0 FTE dedicated to forestry and horticultural services throughout the City.
Staffing levels were reduced to 3.0 FTE since that time as were required by budget cuts and other
restraints. Since 2002, four additional parks have been constructed and additional right-of-way
maintenance responsibilities (38th Ave streetscape, G Line TOD site, Kipling and I-70 entry and exit ramp

Ridge is an attractive and inviting City.”
18 2019 Adopted Budget
2.0 FTE Police Officer – Police Department
The Police Department anticipates an increase in calls for service related to the Clear Creek Crossing
development. Based on the size of the property, projected uses and housing options, the Department
anticipates calls for service including traffic, criminal and non-criminal events, quality of life issues,
property and economic crimes such as theft, fraud and forgery and minimal person’s crimes. With the
addition of two police officers, the Department will have the ability to increase staff in this area of the
City throughout the week, during the peak hours that businesses will be open. These new positions will
assist the City in addressing the 2035 Vision Topic “Wheat Ridge offers a choice of economically viable
commercial areas” and “Wheat Ridge is a community for families.”
1.0 FTE Persons Detective – Police Department
In 2015, the International Association of Chiefs of Police performed a staffing analysis of the Patrol
Operations Division and the Investigations Bureau. The analysis indicated that the Bureau needed an
additional Persons Team Detective for the purpose of investigating domestic violence related felonies. In
addition to aiding with the Department’s focus on prosecuting felony violations involving domestic
relationships, this position would be key to providing Wheat Ridge’s contribution to the First Judicial
District Attorney’s Office Family Justice Center Program. This new position will assist the City in
addressing the 2035 Vision Topic “Wheat Ridge is a community for families.”
1.0 FTE Special Investigations Sergeant – Police Department
In 2015, the International Association of Chiefs of Police performed a staffing analysis of the Patrol
Operations Division and the Investigations Bureau. The analysis indicated that the Bureau needed an
additional Sergeant, assigned to the Special Investigations Unit to supervise the critical areas of drug
enforcement, auto theft investigations and vice and intelligence. Currently, detectives with the Special
Investigations Unit report directly to the Investigations Bureau Commander rather than having a
supervisor who can participate in their day-to-day operations. This new position will assist the City in
addressing the 2035 Vision Topic “Wheat Ridge is a community for families.”
0.5 FTE IT Support Technician – Administrative Services
This position is currently a 0.5 FTE benefited employee and the request is to increase it to a 1.0 FTE
benefited IT Support Technician. This increase in FTE will allow other IT Division employees to work on
strategic priorities to implement new technologies that increase workflow efficiencies and decrease
costs. This increase in FTE will assist the City in addressing the 2035 Vision Topic “Wheat Ridge residents
are proud of their hometown.”
0.5 FTE Digital Communications Specialist – Administrative Services
This position is currently a 0.5 FTE benefited employee and the request is to increase it to a 1.0 FTE
benefited Digital Communications Specialist. As the City’s website gains ground as a communications
tool to update the community and keep constituents informed, this increase in FTE will enable the City
to respond more proactively in maintaining website links, creating new content and Newsflashes,
supporting activity on social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and NextDoor as well as special event
logistics. Social media also demands a graphic presence in order to increase engagement. This position
will assist in capturing community images through photography and video for use in all of the City’s
communication mediums. This increase in FTE will assist the City in addressing the 2035 Vision Topic
“Wheat Ridge residents are proud of their hometown.”
19 2019 Adopted Budget
In the back of the Staffing section of this book you will find a Five-Year Staffing Plan for 2020 to 2024.
Over the last decade we have done our best to provide a level of service expected by City Council and
the community. The City has typically operated with a very lean staff; however, as community
expectations change we must ensure the City has adequate staffing to meet those demands. This Plan
will be evaluated annually to determine the most cost-effective way to continue providing exceptional
customer service and quality programs.

2019 Revenue Summary by Fund Types
The City diligently works to maintain a strong, diverse revenue base recognizing that a dependence upon any
individual revenue source would make revenue yields more vulnerable to economic cycles. All revenues are
conservatively projected and are monitored and updated as necessary.

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

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

Assessed Valuation $412 $405 $411
$405 $468 $470 $560 $557
Mill Levies for Residents: Assessments are furnished to the Jefferson County Treasurer's Office. The
Treasurer's Office issues property tax bills to every property owner based on the property's assessed
valuation and the total mill levy which local governments have certified for the year. Within Wheat Ridge,
mill levies are 1.83 and are certified by the City of Wheat Ridge.
Payment: Property owners pay property taxes to Jefferson County in either two installments due February 28
and June 15 or in one installment due April 30. Jefferson County wire transfers the City’s property taxes
directly to the City’s main bank account on the 10th of the month following the month that the collection is
processed by Jefferson County.
Legal Restrictions: The Gallagher Amendment to the Colorado Constitution restricts property tax growth in
requiring the legislature to annually adjust the residential assessed valuation percentage to ensure that the
proportion of residential to total state assessed valuation remains constant – residential properties pay 45%
of the total property taxes, while commercial and industrial properties pay 55%. In order to maintain this
proportional allocation, the residential property assessment percentage has declined from 21% in 1982 to
the current level of 7.2%, while the non-residential property percentage has remained at 29%.
49 2019 Adopted Budget
General Fund Revenues
Property Tax Revenue
There is a statutory limitation which prohibits property tax revenue growth from exceeding 5.5% each year,
adjusted for new construction, although it is generally held that home rule cities like Wheat Ridge are exempt
from this provision.
Forecast: 2018 $1,007,000 Estimated 2019 $989,532 Adopted
Rationale: Forecast for 2018 is based on actual receipts and preliminary valuation information from the
County Assessor. Beginning in late 2015 and early 2016, the City has experienced significant increases in
residential and commercial development. The City expects to benefit from a continued increase in property
tax revenues as a result of projects in 2019 and beyond.

Sales Tax Revenue
Distribution: General Fund 100%
*CIP and Capital Equipment Replacement Funds are funded in part by General Fund transfers.
Source: Visitors, residents and employers in Wheat Ridge
Collection: The City of Wheat Ridge collects a 3.5% tax on sales of tangible personal property and specific
services. In 2017 a .5% sales tax increase was approved by the citizens of Wheat Ridge for a period of 12
years. Sales Taxes are collected by the retailer and are reported directly to the City on either a monthly,
quarterly, or annual basis.
Item Tax Breakdown
General Merchandise 7.5% 2.9% State, 1.1% District, 0.5% Jefferson County Open Space, 3.5% City
All Food 3.5% 0.5% Jefferson County Open Space, 3.5% City
Accommodations 14.5% 2.9% State, 1.1% District, 0.5% Jefferson County Open Space, 10.0% City
Admission to Events 4.0% 4.0% City
Sales tax revenues have recovered from the economic recession of 2008. Benefiting from the overall strong
Front Range economy, the City has seen steady growth since 2014 and anticipates this trend to continue.
Forecast: 2018 $18,956,600 Estimated 2019 $19,659,538 Adopted
Rationale: The closure of Walmart in 2017 significantly changed sales tax predictions with a smaller increase
than anticipated for 2017 and beyond. However, the City has seen new businesses since the departure of
Walmart and while projections remain conservative, the City does project a 5% increase in sales tax revenues
in 2019 over 2018.

General Fund Revenues
Use Tax Revenue
Distribution: General Fund 100%
Source: Citizens and businesses in Wheat Ridge, including automobile use tax collected and remitted by
Jefferson County and use tax on business purchases remitted by businesses.
Collection: Use tax is equal to the City sales tax of 3.5%, due on all items used in business on which no local
sales tax was paid or on which a lesser local sales tax was paid. Use tax may also be due on purchases made
for operating supplies, furnishings, equipment and fixtures. Jefferson County collects automobile use tax and
remits monthly to the City of Wheat Ridge. Businesses remit tax to the City on a monthly, quarterly or annual
basis. The City utilizes a number of enforcement procedures to collect from delinquent accounts including
taxpayer education, delinquency notices, personal phone contact and visits, audits, summons to municipal
court and seizures.
Forecast: 2018 $6,487,063 Estimated 2019 $4,250,000 Adopted
Rationale: Generally, use tax has fluctuated based on changes in business investment, build out and new
commercial development. The 2017 hail storm positively impacted use tax for 2017 and 2018. Also in 2018,
as a result of new projects breaking ground and the economy’s continued recovery, the City has seen steady
growth. The City projects auto and retail use tax to remain much the same as consumer spending stays steady.
The City remains positive for 2019 but projects conservative use tax revenues given the facts of 2017 and 2018.

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

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

The City’s overall storm water drainage network lacks sufficient facilities, including a lack
of needed storm sewers. Much of the existing system is also aging and falling into
disrepair. The project allocates funding each year to address identified needs and higher
priorities. In 2019, the City will partner with the City of Edgewater to replace damaged
and clogged drainage pipes and inlets at 26th Avenue and Fenton Street. The City will be
reimbursed by the City of Edgewater for their share of the work.

flows that were approved by FEMA in 2016. The floodplain maps for Clear Creek are
currently being revised and should be finalized by mid-2019. Once that is completed the
master plan can be updated to reflect the revised maps. The master plan update will
identify future flood mitigation projects to reduce flood risks to properties along Clear
Creek. The City is working jointly with the cities of Golden, Denver, Adams County and
the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District on this critical endeavor.

Significant infrastructure public improvements within the Clear Creek Crossing site must
be constructed to serve the development, separate from the 2E funded I-70 hook ramp
improvements. These include public streets, storm sewers, traffic signals, street lighting,
sidewalks and other utilities. While the developer will construct the facilities themselves,
a large percentage of the public improvements will be owned and maintained by the

Investing 4 the Future – Projects Funded by 2E
About 2E
In November of 2016, Wheat Ridge voters approved a 0.5%
cent increase in the City’s sales and use tax rate in order to
fund investments that will improve transportation
infrastructure, create opportunities for economic
development, and enable additional “placemaking” to
attract those wanting to live in Wheat Ridge.
The four projects that will move forward with funding from
the sales tax increase include: improvements to Anderson
Park and its facilities, installation of I-70 on/off ramps for
the Clear Creek Crossing mixed-use development, widening
of Wadsworth Blvd. into an attractive corridor for multi-
modal use, and improvements to public infrastructure and
amenities to encourage economic development and transit
opportunities at the Wheat Ridge · Ward Station.
In 2017, City Council adopted Resolution 02-2017
establishing a restricted 2E fund as defined by GASB No. 54
for use for 2E projects. In the spring of 2017, the City sold
$33 million in bonds.

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

In April 2016, the City of Wheat Ridge initiated an Environmental Assessment (EA) study
for the widening of Wadsworth Boulevard. The study is reviewing environmental impacts
associated with transportation improvements planned for Wadsworth between 35th
Avenue and I-70. The EA builds off of a Planning and Environmental Linkage (PEL) study
for Wadsworth that was completed in 2015 with input from the local community. The
EA is the first of several phases, with the final phase, construction, projected to begin in
mid-2020. 2E funding in the amount of $7 million will be used to provide the City’s local
match for a $25.28 million federal transportation grant. The City has also been awarded
a federal safety grant with a CDOT match for a total of $2.6 million. CDOT has also
committed $4.1 million in maintenance funding towards the project. This brings the total
identified funding to just under $39 million.

214 2019 Adopted Budget
Pay-for-Performance Compensation Plan
The City’s compensation plan for full-time/part-time benefitted employees is designed as a
financially sustainable plan that will help recruit and retain top talent. Additionally, the
compensation plan is market-based and fully aligned with the City’s performance management
plan (PMP), and are reflective of an overall pay-for-performance system of total rewards. The
City’s pay-for-performance model is consistent with the culture and commitment to the City’s
core values of A.C.T.I.O.N! (Accountability, Change, Teamwork, Integrity, Opportunity, Now!). It
is important for the City to reward employees who exemplify these core values and who help
achieve the City’s strategic results.
The City’s compensation philosophy is as follows:
The City of Wheat Ridge recognizes that, as a service organization, employees are
critical to the success of its mission and goals. In a highly competitive and ever-
changing environment, we strive to attract and retain individuals who respond
quickly, think creatively, and achieve meaningful results.
The City strives to attract and retain a highly skilled workforce that is efficient,
productive, and innovative. Rewards are based on behaviors, contributions, and
performance that demonstrate a commitment to public service and to the City’s core
values. Employees are rewarded for taking personal responsibility to develop their
skills, provide excellent customer service and develop positive relationships within
the community. Employees are expected to continually strive to learn as well as
apply problem-solving and customer service skills to further the City’s mission.
The total compensation package consists of base pay, comprehensive benefits,
recognition and wellness programs as well as development opportunities based on
financial conditions and strategic objectives, as compared to other governmental and
private employers in the community.
The compensation plan consists of three sub plans: 1) a pay-for-performance open range plan
(which includes civilian and police sergeants and higher ranks) and 2) a sworn step plan which
includes Police Officer I and II, and 3) an open range plan for traditionally non-benefited part-
time employees.
Market Survey Update - the City conducted a biennial market analysis update in 2018 to see how
the City’s pay practices compare to other municipalities in the Denver/Boulder market. Changes
are effective in 2019 to ensure the City is competitive with the Denver/Boulder market.
Additionally, to reflect the State-mandated increase in minimum wage, the part-time employee
pay plan will be updated.
215 2019 Adopted Budget
Following the performance evaluation due dates scheduled in the fall of 2018, employees may
receive an increase based on how they met the core values and competencies of the PMP system.
Performance increases are not guaranteed. The merit budget is determined and approved by
City Council on an annual basis according to what other comparable organizations are providing
and what the City can afford for that fiscal year. Unforeseen factors that could impact the local,
state or national economy cannot always be predicted. The City does not grant cost-of-living
increases: these are no longer a best practice and very few local government entities use this
method.

Financial Policies
CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE
ACCOUNTING, BUDGETING AND FINANCIAL POLICIES 2019
The City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado financial policies set forth the basic framework for the fiscal
management of the City. These policies were developed within the parameters established by
applicable provisions of the Colorado Revised Statutes and the City of Wheat Ridge City Charter.
The policies are to be reviewed on an annual basis and modified to accommodate changing
circumstances or conditions.
Basis of Accounting
The City’s finances are accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) as established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
Basis of accounting refers to the point at which revenues or expenditures are recognized in
the accounts and reported in the financial statements. The government‐wide financial
statements, as well as the financial statements for proprietary funds and fiduciary funds, are
reported using the economic resource measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting.
Under accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are
recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of when the cash is received.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under modified accrual basis of
accounting, revenues are recognized as soon as they become both measurable and available, and
expenditures are recorded in the period that the expenditure occurs and becomes a liability.
For accounting purposes, the budget for each department is broken down into a variety of divisions
and/or program budgets. Expenditures are classified as the following:
•Personnel Services
•Services & Supplies
•Capital Outlay
Personnel Services includes salaries for full‐time and part‐time employees, overtime pay, insurance,
retirement, and other costs related to the City. The compensation plan is intended to provide all
employees with fair and equitable pay and to provide a uniform system of payment. The City has
adopted a Performance‐Based Pay Plan. This plan equates an employee’s salary based upon the
performance evaluation rating.
Services & Supplies encompasses administrative costs such as office supplies, uniforms, small tools,
ammunition, salt, sand and gravel, dues, subscriptions, travel and training expense, safety
303 2019 Adopted Budget
programs, audit/legal/consulting fees, telephone/utility charges, principal and interest payments,
and photocopying, to name a few.
Capital Outlay consists of fixed assets over $5,000 and a useful life of greater than one year. This
expenditure area consists of furniture/fixtures, computer hardware, land, buildings, and other
infrastructure. A detailed, “line‐item” budget is provided to departments to facilitate monitoring of
day‐to‐day expenditures.
Basis of Budgeting
Basis of budgeting refers to the methodology used to include revenues and expenditures in the
budget. The City of Wheat Ridge budgets on a cash basis. The City does not budget for non‐cash
items such as depreciation and amortization. The revenues and expenditures are assumed to be
collected or spent during the period appropriated. Using this assumption, the current year
revenues are compared to expenditures to ensure that each fund has sufficient revenues to
cover expenditures during the budget year, or that there are sufficient cash reserves in the fund to
cover a revenue shortfall. The City’s operating budget and all special funds are adopted on an
annual basis (the fiscal year begins with the first day of January and ends on the last day of
December) with all appropriations lapsing at fiscal year‐end. Capital projects and grant funds have
multi‐year budgets. Outstanding encumbrances at fiscal year‐end are re‐appropriated by approval
of the City Council in the subsequent fiscal year.
Basis of Budgeting vs. Basis of Accounting
The basis of budgeting differs from the basis of accounting only by the assumptions that are made
in regard to the timing of the recognition of revenues and expenditures. The budget assumes that
all revenues and expenditures, as well as the associated cash, will be expended or received during
the budget period. Conversely, the basis of accounting only recognizes revenues when they
become both measurable and available, and expenditures when incurred. Cash is not necessarily
received or expended at the same time.
Basis of Presentation – Fund Accounting
The activities of the City are organized into separate funds that are designated for a specific purpose
or set of purposes. Each fund is considered a separate accounting entity, so the operations of each
fund are accounted for with a set of self‐balancing accounts that comprise its revenues, expenses,
assets, liabilities, and fund equity as appropriate.
The number and variety of funds used by the City promotes accountability but can also make
municipal budgeting and finance complex. Therefore, understanding the fund structure is an
important part of understanding the City’s finances. The City uses Governmental Funds and within
this fund type the City has Special Revenue Funds and a Capital Investment Project Fund.
The following is a description of the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, the Capital Investment
Program (CIP) and the Recreation Center Fund.
304 2019 Adopted Budget
Governmental Funds
General Fund
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund and is used to track the revenues and
expenditures associated with the basic City services that are not required to be accounted for in
other funds. This includes services such as police, public works, parks and recreation, and other
support services such as human resources. These services are funded by general purpose tax
revenues and other revenues that are unrestricted. This means that the City Council, with input
from the public, has the ability to distribute the funds in a way that best meets the needs of the
community as opposed to other funds that are restricted to predefined uses.
Special Revenue Funds
Special Revenue funds account for activities supported by revenues that are received or set aside
for a specific purpose that is legally restricted. These funds are described in greater detail under the
Special Funds tab of this budget document. The City has seven Special Revenue Funds: Public Art
Fund, Police Investigation Fund, Open Space Fund, Municipal Court Fund, Conservation Trust Fund,
Equipment Replacement Fund, and Crime Prevention Fund.
Capital Investment Program Fund
The Capital Investment Program (CIP) Fund account is for financial resources that must be used for
the acquisition, improvements or construction of major capital projects. The CIP is funded by a
transfer from the General Fund in addition to other revenue sources such as grants, and lodger’s
tax. The 10‐year Capital Investment Plan lists approved and anticipated capital projects of the City,
and can be located in the CIP tab of this budget document.
Recreation Center Fund
The Recreation Center Fund is a governmental fund whereby the expense of providing goods and
services to the general public on a continuing basis are financed or recovered primarily through
user charges. However, the Recreation Center Fund is not completely self‐sufficient and internal
services such as information technology and human resources costs are covered under the General
Fund. In the event that these user charges are insufficient to cover the operations of the
Recreation Center Fund, transfers can be made from other fund types to provide additional
financial support.
A chart depicting the City’s Governmental Fund Types is included on the next page.

Budget Process & Timeline
In accordance with the City Charter, the annual budget process and timeline is outlined in the
Budget in Brief section of this budget document.
Procurement Planning
All City purchases of goods or services are made in accordance with the State of Colorado Revised
Statues, Wheat Ridge City Charter and the City’s Purchasing Guidelines.
Financial Reporting
The City’s accounting records are audited by an independent certified public accounting firm
following the conclusion of each fiscal year in accordance with the City Charter and state law. The
City Manager and Administrative Services Director prepares a Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report (CAFR) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applicable to
state and local governments established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
for governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The CAFR shows the status of the
City’s finances on the basis of GAAP. The CAFR shows fund revenues and expenditures on both a
GAAP basis and budget basis for comparison purposes.
Debt Management Policy
The City Council adopted a Debt Management Policy in June of 2011. This policy is included in this
section of the budget document.
Unrestricted Fund Balance Policy
The City Council adopted an Unrestricted Fund Balance Policy in June of 2011. This policy is
included in this section of the budget document.
307 2019 Adopted Budget
The City of Wheat Ridge (City) recognizes the importance of long-range, financial planning in order
to meet its capital project and improvement needs. The following debt management policy provides
guidance on the issuance of debt to help ensure that the City maintains a sound debt position and
that its credit quality is protected. As such, the policy allows for an appropriate balance between
establishing debt parameters while also providing flexibility to respond to unforeseen circumstances
and new opportunities.
Responsibility and Administration of Policy
The primary responsibility for developing long-term, financing recommendations rests with the City
Manager. During the annual budget process, and at any other time during the year that may be war-
ranted, the City Manager will work with the Administrative Services Director and the City Treasurer
(the internal working group) to determine if there is a need for long-term financing consideration.
As part of the determination process, the internal working group shall review the financing needs
outlined by the Capital Investment Program (see below) to analyze the capital financing needs
compared with available resources. The internal working group will also provide recommendations
regarding refunding and restructuring of existing debt.
Once the determination is made by the internal working group to pursue finance borrowing, a re-
funding, or restructuring of debt, the City Manager shall prepare and present to City Council a
resolution of intent to issue debt and authorizing City staff to proceed with the necessary
preparations. The City Charter (Chapter XII – Municipal Funding) outlines the specific approvals (e.g.
voter authorization, majority vote by City Council, etc.) that are required in order for the City to
issue various types of debt and this policy will be administered in conformity with the City Charter.
The City Manager and City Treasurer will review the Debt Management Policy annually in
connection with the City’s annual budget process to ensure that the City is adhering to the
framework outlined in this policy and will make recommendations to revise the policy as needed.
Capital Investment Program
The Capital Investment Program (CIP) will be utilized to identify capital projects and/or
improvements that are part of the City’s strategic vision and economic development efforts.
The CIP will cover, at a minimum, a 10-year period and provide a projection of the
financing needs required to implement the CIP. The CIP will include the associated ongoing
operations and maintenance costs of such capital assets and/or improvements so that the total
costs of the projects are considered. The CIP will be updated annually by the City’s Public Works’
Director as part of the budget process.
Financial Policies
CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE
DEBT MANAGEMENT POLICY
Adopted by City Council June 2011
308 2019 Adopted Budget
Purpose of Debt
Incurrence of debt or long-term borrowing will only be used for the purpose of providing financing
for capital assets, which include but are not limited to buildings, infrastructure, land acquisition and
purchase of significant equipment. The City, under no circumstances, will issue debt or borrow funds
to finance City operations and maintenance costs.
The City will strive to maximize the use of pay-as-you-go financing for capital projects and
improvements. Debt borrowing will be considered when annual revenues and accumulation of fund
balances are not sufficient to provide the necessary funding for such projects.
Types of Debt
The types of debt instruments to be used by the City may include:
• General Obligation and Revenue Bonds
• Short-term notes
• Special or Local Improvement bonds
• Certificates of Participation
• Any other legally recognized security approved by City Council
Although permitted by the City Charter, the City will avoid the issuance of tax or revenue
anticipation notes.
Additionally, the City will strive to secure a fixed rate structure when issuing debt. The City will
consider a variable rate structure when market conditions favor this type of issuance, and when
feasible, ensure there is a maximum interest rate provided within the variable rate structure.
Credit enhancements will be used only in instances where the anticipated present value savings in
terms of reduced interest expense exceeds the cost of the credit enhancement.
Level of Debt
The City’s aggregate amount of bonds or other evidences of indebtedness outstanding will not
exceed three percent (3%) of the actual valuation of the taxable property within the City as shown
by the last preceding assessment. In determining the amount of indebtedness outstanding, the City
will adhere with the computation guidelines as established by City Charter.
The City will strive to maintain its annual debt service costs (principal and interest) for its govern-
mental activities at a level of no greater than 10% of general fund expenditures. The repayment
terms of the debt will not exceed the useful life of the capital asset financed. Further,
the City will seek level or declining debt repayment schedules and will not issue debt that provides
for a balloon principal payment reserved at the end of the term of the issue. Moreover, the City
will also strive to obtain redemption terms that allow for the prepayment of debt without paying a
redemption penalty.
Debt Issuance Practices
As part of its debt issuance process, the City will at all times manage its debt and sustain its financial
position in order to secure and maintain an Aa/AA or higher bond rating. The City will market its
309 2019 Adopted Budget
debt through the use of a competitive bid process when issuing general obligation debt. The
competitive bid process will also be used for other debt issuances unless time, interest rates and/or
other factors make it more favorable for the City to use a negotiated process.
If needed, the City will hire an independent financial advisor, and any other professional service
provider (e.g. bond counsel), to assist in the structuring of the debt transaction and to provide
overall guidance throughout the process.
Guidelines for Refunding
The City shall consider refunding (advance and current refunding) outstanding debt whenever an
analysis indicates the potential for net present value (NPV ) savings of at least three percent (3%) can
be achieved. The City may also consider refunding outstanding bonds to remove existing restrictive
covenants.
The City shall also consider restructuring its existing debt in order to extend the payment terms to
meet cash flow needs if deemed beneficial to the City’s long-term financial and strategic planning.
Post Issuance Management
The City will invest its debt proceeds in accordance with the City’s investment policy and statutory
requirements. Funds will be invested in instruments and with related maturities that will provide the
liquidity needed to meet the cash flow needs of each project. In this regard, the City Treasurer will
prepare a cash flow projection to determine the availability of funds available to be invested and
their respective required maturities.
The City will comply with all arbitrage rebate requirements as established by the Internal Revenue
Service. Arbitrage will be calculated at the end of each fiscal year and interest earned on the
investment of debt proceeds will be reserved to pay any penalties due. Secondary market dis-
closures requirements established within the terms of the debt transaction will be adhered to and
filed on a timely basis.
The City Treasurer will be responsible for managing the post issuance requirements listed above
and/or cause any post issuance requirements to be completed.
310 2019 Adopted Budget
Financial Policies
CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE
UNRESTRICTED FUND BALANCE POLICY
Adopted by City Council June 2011
The City of Wheat Ridge has determined it to be a sound, financial practice to maintain adequate
levels of unrestricted fund balance in its General Fund in order to mitigate current and future
risks such as revenue shortfalls and unanticipated expenditures as well as to ensure stable tax
rates. Additionally, the City believes that adequate unrestricted fund balance levels are a critical
consideration to the City’s long-term financial planning. In this regard, the City has established the
following fiscal policy related to its unrestricted fund balance.
Maximum and Minimum Amounts
The City will maintain a minimum unrestricted fund balance of at least two months or
approximately 17%, as recommended by the Government Finance Officers’ Association (GFOA), of
its General Fund operating expenditures. The City’s maximum unrestricted fund balance shall
not exceed 35.0% of General Fund operating expenditures. Not precluding the aforementioned
minimum and maximum percentages, the City will annually target to maintain a 25.0% unrestricted
fund balance percentage level as part of its annual budget process.
Use of Funds
While targeting to maintain an annual unrestricted fund balance of 25.0%, the City understands
there may be circumstances that warrant that the City use these funds temporarily. The City has
established the following instances where it may elect to use these funds:
• An economic downturn in which revenues are below budget
• Unexpected and unappropriated costs to service and maintain current City
operations
• Unexpected and non-budgeted emergencies, natural disaster costs, and/or litigation
• Grant matching
• Early retirement of debt
• To cover deficits in other funds due to a shortfall in budgeted revenues
• 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
311 2019 Adopted Budget
to its previous level as soon as possible, but only after the City’s current operational needs
are met, and in no case, more than two years subsequent in which the unrestricted fund
balance was used. For any and all other instances, as permitted by this policy, in which the
City elects to use its unrestricted fund balance, the City will replenish the unrestricted fund
balance as soon as revenues are available, but only after the City’s current operational needs have
been met.
Excess Funds
In the event the City has accumulated its permitted, maximum unrestricted fund balance of
35.0%, the City, at the discretion and determination of City Council and the City Manager, will
designate such excess funds for the following purposes:
• Reserves for equipment replacement
• Repair and maintenance of City facilities
• Funding of infrastructure improvements
Review of Policy
The City Treasurer will review the Unrestricted Fund Balance Policy annually in connection with the
City’s annual budgeting process to ensure that the City is maintaining adequate unrestricted fund
balance levels. Additionally, at least every three years, the City Manager will review the policy and
will make recommendations for modification as deemed appropriate. This policy was written using
the guidelines set forth by the GFOA. As such, any updates issued by the GFOA shall be
considered by the City Manager when making recommendations for modifications to this
policy.
312 2019 Adopted Budget
Adjusted - Adjusted, as used in the department and division summaries within the budget document,

department’s budget, are approved by City Council via the adoption of a supplemental budget
appropriation. Other mid-year adjustments within a department’s budget may be made via budget
revisions, moving funds from one or more accounts within a division or department to another account
within that division or department. The adjusted budget figures in this document include any adjustments
made through July 31 of the previous budget year.
Admission/Amusement Tax - An excise tax of four percent, effective January 1, 1986, levied on each
person who pays to gain admission or access to a performance of a motion picture or to the use of lanes
and pin setters for bowling balls in a bowling alley located in Wheat Ridge. Effective January 1, 1989,
the City added miniature golf to the classification and required an admission tax to be levied.
Adopted - Adopted, as used in the department and division summaries within the budget document,
