Executive Summary

June 25, 2018
Bozeman City Commission:
We are pleased to present to you the Approved Budget for Fiscal Year 2018‐2019 (FY19). This budget represents
the thoughtful work of dozens of people in developing the spending plan for our organization for the coming fiscal
year. Bozeman is a vital, growing and changing city. This year, we have focused on equipping the organization to
cope with our community’s continued rapid growth and have incorporated the City’s new Strategic Plan into
budget priorities.
The FY19 budget estimates an annual increase in taxes and assessments for the typical resident of $6.39, or $0.53
per month. This is amount does not include Water and Sewer rate changes. Water and Sewer rates are likely to
change according to a cost‐of‐service rate study that the City is performing. The consultant will propose those
rate changes to the Commission in August.
Continued Growth – Our community’s most recent evidence of continued growth includes the US Census data
showing an estimated population increase of 4.4% this year, on top of the 4.3% increase for last year. We see
strong building permit activity and increased traffic counts and congestion on City streets. Much of our budget
recommendation is made in response to the prolonged growth that Bozeman continues to experience. In order
to maintain service levels and perform the work necessary to accomplish our Strategic Plan action items, we must
expand our staff in key areas.
2018 Strategic Plan Adoption – On April 16, 2018 the City adopted its first Strategic Plan. This accomplishment
significantly informs the items approved in the FY19 budget. The full plan can be found at
https://www.bozeman.net/city‐projects/bozeman‐strategic‐plan.
Vision Statements
Engaged Community: The City’s first Communications Coordinator position, initially funded in FY18,
plays a key role in our community engagement efforts in FY19. This position will significantly advance our
w o r k t o f o s t e r a c u l t u r e o f c i v i c e n g a g e m e n t b y c r e a t i n g a d e t ailed communication plan for the
organization, expand outreach to the community, and oversee a citizen engagement process.
Communication and outreach is one of the seven priorities for this fiscal year.
Innovative Economy: Several Strategic Plan action items, that can also be found in the 2016Economic
Development Strategy, will be implementing through the ongoing work of the Economic Development
Department this year.
2
Safe, Welcoming Community: The Bozeman Public Safety Facility is a safety‐related priority for the
FY19; we will work towards supporting high quality public safety facilities and emergency preparedness
by resolving the current Police, Fire, Prosecution and Courts spaced needs now and into the future.
Well‐Planned City: To consistently improve our community’s quality of life as it grows, the priorities of
Planning and Land Use Initiatives and Annexation Analysis and Study are included in this year’s efforts.
For FY19, we will be conducting studies in these areas to ensure we grow in a responsible manner. We
will also be enhancing our affordable housing program to further the FY19 Affordable Housing priority,
by using one‐time monies from the General Fund. We are recommending in the FY19 budget to transfer
of $166,188 to the Workforce Housing fund for affordable housing projects. Included in this budget is the
last phase of the consultant work for creation of a Parks Maintenance District. This work will give the
Commission information on the possible paths toward defining a different funding source for park
maintenance city‐wide.
Creative, Learning Culture: We plan to partner with MSU, utilizing their student and faculty
population to accomplish some strategic plan action items through college‐level class assignments. This
will be a new partnership for education and learning between the City and the University that has not
existed in the past.
Sustainable Environment: Most notable in our sustainability efforts is the Climate Action & Resiliency
Plan that we plan to begin in FY19.
High Performance Organization: Maintaining the City’s current levels of service and implementing
action items in the Strategic Plan requires the additional staff that has been included in this budget. Key
among them include civilian positions to support the Police Department according to the
recommendations from the Police Staffing Plan, a plan review engineer to assist with workload created
by development permitting, and a SCADA (Supervisory control and data acquisition) Systems Manager
for the Wastewater Division of Public Works.
2019 Approved Budget
Revenues
Property Taxes
With the growth of the City, expected service levels, and the strategic plan initiatives, it is necessary to
increase the property tax mill levy. This is necessary to address the needs of the expanding City while
funding ongoing operations with sustainable revenues. In total, our Approved Budget levies 190.90 mills
on all taxable property within City limits.
3
This is be a 3.57 mill increase over the previous year. To calculate property tax revenues, a 4% growth
rate is assumed from new construction, leaving the estimated value of a mill at $105,244. The total annual
property tax for the median home is estimated to be $724.66, a $13.55 increase from the prior year.
Special Assessments
City property owners pay annual street maintenance, arterial street, and tree maintenance assessments
based on the square footage of the lot they own. This funding supports the Street Maintenance
Department, arterial capital projects and to support Forestry Department. In order to keep streets in
repair the streets assessments needs a 5% increase. The Tree assessment also needs a 5% increase. Last
session, the Montana Legislature passed House Bill 473, which authorized a 4.5 cent increase in the gas
tax which went into effect on July 1, 2017. As a result, the arterial and collector assessment can be reduced
by 28%. In total, the FY19 budget includes an $18.19 reduction in special assessments for the average
sized lot. The following is a breakdown of the assessments and their impact on residential lots:

Charges for Services
Recently, the Commission adopted new fee structures and increases to our charges for services. The parks
usage and recreation programs, and cemetery services had fee structure changes, which will increase
revenue. The new residential short‐term rental license, a simplified business license fee, and planning fee
adjustments were fee changes approved this year for our community development programs.
Utility Rates
The City is currently undergoing a rate study for our water and sewer systems. For the FY19 budget, rate
changes have not yet been included. Presentation of the studies should occur during the later part August
and finalized rate changes will be presented in resolutions to be adopted in late August or early
September. Due to the adequacy of current revenues, we are not recommending a Stormwater rate
increase this year.
Expenditures
Staffing
In order to take a strategic approach to staffing, we are developing a three‐year plan to address staffing
levels across all departments in the organization. This is the first year of the plan, and we have focused on
critical need areas to help us maintain service levels while addressing specific projects in the recently
adopted Strategic Plan. The Budget adds 12.85 FTE in the changing year.
The approved positions are the addition of 3 FTE and 4.25 FTE in the General Government and Public
Services (Public Works) areas respectively. We are also adding 2.6 FTE in Public Safety and 2.0 in Public
Welfare areas. The specific position titles are described in the following table.

Operating Budgets
Many factors have caused changes in operational budgets. These changes vary by fund. Growth, inflation,
capital projects, and Strategic Plan priorities have influenced increases in operating costs. For FY 19
operational costs total $38.5 million, which is a 12% increase from FY18. This increase is in many areas
and throughout most departments. There are contracted services for studies relating to the strategic plan
and increases in contract renewals with vendors.
Capital
FY19 has over $34.3 million in capital expenditures, which is a 29% increase over FY18. There are large
sewer capacity projects that aid in the School District’s effort in building a new High school. These
infrastructure projects (Davis Lift Station and the Front Street Interceptor) will require financing in order
to be completed. We plan to borrow for their completion for a total of just under $8 million. Street Impact
Fee and Arterial Collector shared projects will fund construction of the streets surrounding the new high
school. In addition to these major projects, there is planned road maintenance, vehicle replacements and
building improvements.

The General Fund
The General Fund is used to account for all financial resources of the City that are not required to be
segregated into a separate fund. The General Fund is the most complex fund; it receives the most
numerous sources of revenue and supports the highest number of departments. The table below shows

Reserves
The FY19 budget has a reduction in total fund balances mainly due infrastructure needs and to the use of one‐
time monies from the prior year. The General Fund reserve will maintain at its required minimum of 16.67% of
annual revenues. In Special Revenue and Enterprise funds, efforts have been made to maintain a reasonable fund
balance based on the operating conditions and circumstances of the fund. This year, it is important to increase
fund balances in Street Maintenance (which have occasionally been budgeted to a negative balance), and in Tree
Maintenance for an equipment reserve. We have planned to increased Solid Waste’s fund balance to be able to
adjust to any pressures from the market, as it completes with private sector garbage and recycling services.
Citizen Impact
A typical residential property owner will see taxes and assessment increases, not including Water and Sewer rate
changes, of $6.39 for the year, or $0.53 per month. The typical resident is calculated using an average sized lot
(7,500sqft) lot and the median home of $292,000:
Conclusion
In closing, we are thankful to the Commission, community members and staff who participated in the many
processes that resulted in this budget. Staff spent many hours discussing the Strategic Plan, which helped guide
our priorities for FY19, and we believe that the FY19 Approved Budget will allow us to continue to operate and
advance the City of Bozeman.
Working together, we have consistently found innovative ways to deliver services and invest in our community in
fiscally responsible ways. We are a resilient, enterprising and creative community. The FY19 Approved Budget is

Budget Summary
Municipal budgets serve a number of important functions. In addition to laying out a spending plan for the city,
and allocating resources to meet the diverse needs of the community, Bozeman’s budget:
Is a principal policy and management tool for the city’s administration, reflecting and defining the annual
work program;
Provides a framework for the city to accomplish its vision and strategic plan; and
Reflects core city values of integrity, leadership, service, and teamwork.
This Budget Summary provides information about the city, along with information about the budget process,
revenues, expenditures, and city programs and services. It is intended to provide an accessible, transparent way
of learning about the city budget, while accurately showing how the city invests its resources.

The City of Bozeman is located on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains and is the county seat of Gallatin
County, Montana. Gallatin County encompasses over 2,500 square
miles, bordering Yellowstone National Park to its south. The City
encompasses an area over 18 square miles with its next‐closest
municipality being the City of Belgrade, approximately 7 miles from our
outermost boundary. Bozeman is located 143 miles west of Billings and
200 miles east of Missoula. Named after one of its early settlers, John
Bozeman, the Town was incorporated in 1874 and declared a city in
1883 before Montana was admitted into the United State in 1889.
Bozeman is home to Montana State University – Bozeman and the Fighting Bobcats. The local newspaper is the
Bozeman Daily Chronicle, and the City is served by Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport at Gallatin Field.
Today, Bozeman is the fourth largest city in the state and is the principal city of the Bozeman micropolitan area,
which consists of all of Gallatin County. The City is named after John M. Bozeman, founder of the Bozeman Trail.
Located in the fastest‐growing county in the state, Bozeman was elected an All‐American City in 2001 by the
National Civic League. Bozeman
residents are known as Bozeman‐ites.

FY2019 CPI
The population of City has been growing over the last ten years. There were 738 total new housing units built in
2017. Since 2007, the City has annexed 1,064.9 acres. This growth has increased the need for City services and
infrastructure.
The Consumer Price index has
grown over the last 10 years for the
united State and particularly for
the Western States. For FY18 the
three average change was 1.2%
while FY19 is showing 1.64% three
average change in CPI‐U.
See Appendix A for more statistical
details about the City’s
demographics and tax base.
Budget Process
The City plans for the long‐term needs of our community through a number of efforts and studies. These
documents are usually developed by consultants and staff, with numerous public hearings and advisory board
meetings prior to their formal adoption by the Commission. Once adopted, we work diligently to implement the
recommendations and changes outlined in the plans. The starting point is the Strategic plan and then the other
14
master plans that have been developed for each area of concern or study. Along with these documents, the capital
improvement plan is used to budget for capital projects. The following chart outlines our process and timing for
the budget:
Funding Structure
To better understand this budget document a basic understanding of the structure, often‐used terms, and fund
types is helpful. The City’s operating expenditures are organized in to the following hierarchical categories:
Activities, Departments, Divisions, and Budget Units.
Activity: Activity represents the highest level of summarization used in the City’s financial structure.
This level is primarily used for entity‐wide financial reporting and for summarization in this budget
document.
Department: Department is the second level of summarization used in the City’s financial structure. The
function classification represents a grouping of related operations and programs aimed at accomplishing
a broad goal or providing a major service.
Division: Department can be further split into divisions which are usually associated with functioning
work groups that have more limited sets of work responsibilities. Their primary purpose is organizational
and budgetary accountability.
Budget Unit: Divisions may be further subdivided into budget units. A budget unit is used to account
for a specific service performed within a division in the pursuit of individual goals and objectives. A
budget unit is aimed at accomplishing a specific service or regulatory program for which a government is
responsible.

For example, to account for the expenses of constructing a new
Wastewater Treatment Plant the City uses the following financial
structure:
Funds:
The activities are funded through various means that are accounted for within specific funds. The City has a
comprehensive fund plan for financial accounting in accordance with the provisions of the recommendations of
the National Council on Governmental Accounting as outlined in their publication Governmental Accounting,
Auditing, and Financial Reporting (GAAFR), which is the standard accounting guide for local governments.
Governmental funds are a group of funds that account for activities associated with the City's basic operations.
This group of funds uses a modified accrual basis of accounting and focuses on operating revenues and
expenditures.
General Fund: The General Fund is used to account
for all financial resources of the City, except for those
required to be accounted for in another fund. The
General Fund supports such basic services as the
Legislative Branch, Judicial Branch, General
Administration, Police, Fire, Finance, Engineering,
Recreation, and Library services. The City's General
Fund is financed heavily by property taxes, which
provide nearly half of the General Fund revenue.
Special Revenue Funds: Special Revenue Funds are
used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue
sources (other than expendable trusts, or for major
capital projects) that are legally restricted to
expenditure for specific purposes.
Debt Service Funds: Debt Service Funds are used to
account for the accumulation of resources for, and
the payment of, general long‐term debt principal and
interest.
Capital Project Funds: Capital Project Funds are used to account for financial resou rces to be used for the
acquisition or construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by proprietary funds).
Proprietary Fund Types
Proprietary funds are a group of funds that account for activities that are often seen in the private sector and are
operated in a similar manner as in the private sector. This group of funds uses a full accrual basis of accounting
and focuses on net income and capital maintenance.

Internal Service Funds: Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods or services
provided by one department to other departments on a cost‐reimbursement basis.
Enterprise Funds: Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in
a manner similar to private business enterprises‐‐where the intent of the governing body is that the costs
(expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing
basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges.
Fiduciary Fund Types
Fiduciary funds are trust and agency funds that account for assets held by a governmental unit in a trustee capacity
or as an agent for individuals, private organizations, other governmental units, or other funds. These include
expendable trust funds, non‐ expendable trust funds, pension trust funds, and agency funds.
Trust Funds: Trust Funds are used to account for assets held by a governmental unit in a trustee capacity.
These include (a) expendable trust funds, (b) permanent trust funds, and (c) pension trust funds. Trust
Funds are supported by donations and interest income.
Budget Policies
State statute provides the “Local Government Budget Act” in MCA 7‐6‐4001. This section of the law was adopted
by the 2001 Legislature to replace the “Municipal Budget Law” and other various sections of code that related to
city finances. See detailed Budget and Fiscal Policies in Appendix B. The law limits the amount of expenditures to
approved appropriations, requires reporting to the State after final budgets and tax levies are adopted, and
provides for a detailed preliminary and final budget adoption within the confines of the State determined property
tax assessment time‐table. The Budget must be “balanced”, and the City can use fund balance as a resource to
balance the budget. Fund balance should not be used as a long‐term approach to balancing the budget. Planned
uses of fund balances should be limited.
It is also appropriate to use fund balance when fund balances have increased beyond the reserve requirements
due to higher than anticipated revenues. In this circumstance, the use of fund balances will be used for one‐time
expenditures, not ongoing operating costs. In all circumstances, it is important to retain sufficient undesignated
fund balance for unforeseen circumstances. The City's budget encompasses both the operating budget and the
capital improvement budget. Each budget unit includes amounts appropriated for both operating expenses and
capital items
Basis of Budgeting
The basis of budgeting and accounting refers to when a transaction or related event is recognized in an agency’s
budget, or in the operating statement, both of which follow GAAP principles. All governmental funds (including
the general, special revenue, debt service and capital projects funds) use modified accrual as both the basis of
budgeting and for accounting/financial reporting. Under the modified accrual system, revenues are recognized in
the accounting period in which they become “measurable and available.” “Measurable” means the amount of the
transaction can be determined and “available” means collectible within the current period or soon enough
thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. Property tax is reported as a receivable and deferred revenue
17
when the levy is certified and as a revenue when due for collection in the subsequent year. An allowance for
estimated uncollectible taxes is included in the estimated tax needed to balance the budget.
The basis of accounting for proprietary funds is full accrual, where revenues are recognized when earned and
expenditures when they are incurred. The basis of budgeting for proprietary funds is full accrual with the
exceptions of depreciation and amortization. For capital assets and capital purchases, funds are budgeted from a
perspective of the actual cash outlay required (cash basis).
Financial and Reserve Polices
The following financial policies are established to provide direction in the fulfilling of duties and responsibilities in
the City of Bozeman. The following is a summary of the policies that have a direct impact on the budget process,
a complete listing of Fiscal Policies to be adopted with the budget are in Appendix B.
Long‐range Planning
The City needs to have the ability to anticipate future challenges in revenue and expense imbalances so that
corrective action can be taken before a crisis develops. To provide city officials with pertinent data to make
decisions for multi‐year policy direction, the Finance Director prepares revenue and expenditure forecasts. These
forecasts will identify changes in revenue and expenditures due to projected new development in the City,
program changes, collective bargaining agreements, asset replacement schedules and capital projects coming
online.
Capital Planning, and Asset Inventory and Condition Assessment
The City annually prepares it Capital Improvement Program to pl an capital projects and equipment need for a five‐
year period. The plan is created on the fund basis and reviews all capital needs greater than $10,000. The plan can
be found on the city website at: https://www.bozeman.net/Home/ShowDocument?id=5473
Revenue Policies
The City values a diversified mix of revenue sources to mitigate the risk of volatility. The major source of revenue
for the General Fund is property tax, which comprises 56% percent of total General Fund revenue in 2019. Since
property values are impacted by the economy and housing market, it is important to make every effort to improve
the diversity of the City’s revenue sources. Tax dollars should support essential city services that benefit and are
available to everyone in the community (such as parks, police and fire protection). For services that largely or
solely benefit individuals, the City should recover full or partial costs of service delivery through user fees.
Use of One‐time and Unpredictable Revenues ‐ One‐time revenues should be used only for one‐time
expenditures and not for ongoing expenditures. By definition, one‐time revenues cannot be relied on in future
budget years. Appropriate uses of one‐time revenues include early debt retirement, capital expenditures that
will reduce operating costs or address deferred capital needs, and special projects that will not incur ongoing
operating costs.

Expenditure Policies
Expenses should always be for City operations and strategic goals. Department heads and the Finance Department
monitor expenditures. All expenditures must comply with City laws, rules and regulations and have proper support
and authorization.
Debt Capacity, issuance and management
The City shall evaluate and consider the following factors in analyzing, reviewing and recommending the issuance
of obligations before presenting a proposal to the Commission and voters as needed:
1.Purpose, feasibility and public benefit of the project
2.Impact on debt ratios generally applied by rating agencies
3.Availability of appropriate revenue stream(s)
4.Aggregate debt burden upon the City's tax base, including other entities' tax supported debt
5.Analysis of financing and funding alternatives, including available reserves from other City funds
Awards and Accomplishments
T h e G o v e r n m e n t F i n a n c e O f f i c e r s A s s o c i a t i o n o f t h e
United States and Canada (GFOA) presented an award of
Distinguished Budget Presentation to the City of
Bozeman for its annual budget for the fiscal year
beginning July 1, 2017. The City has received this award
for each budget it has prepared in the past 27 years.
In order to receive this award, a governmental unit must
publish a budget document that meets program criteria
as a policy document, as an operations guide, as a
financial plan and as a communications device.
This award is valid for a period of one year only. We
believe our current budget continues to conform to
program requirements, and we are submitting it to GFOA
to determine its eligibility for another award.
FY 2019 Budget Summary
The City of Bozeman’s Fiscal year 2019 budget shows a $12.6 million increase in revenue of (13.2%) and increase
in expenditures of about $12.5 million (11.8%). The major factors impacting revenue are the increase in charges
for services, the estimated 4% growth in taxable value, and the additional levy of property tax mills. Fiscal Year 19
budget has over $34.5 million in capital expenditures, which is a 29% increase over FY18 ($26 million). The major
expenditure increase affecting FY19 budget are large sewer capacity projects that aid in the School District’s
efforts in building a new High School. These infrastructure projects are the Davis Lift Station and the Front Street
Interceptor. These two capacity efforts include Street Impact Fee and Arterial Collector shared projects to fund

FY2019 Appropriations

Benefits, Operating Expense, Capital, Debt Service, Transfers, and Other Financing Uses. The graph below shows
the relative percentage of the FY19 budget expenditures for all funds.
In general, governmental agencies see their largest percentage of expenditures as personnel. With our growing
City, there is a need for more infrastructure spending. The General Fund personnel expenses are a much higher
percentage, at 64%. There are fewer capital items in the General Fund than all the funds as a whole.

Fund Summaries
The purpose of fund summaries is to capture and detail the financial condition of each City fund. A fund summary provides
information on revenues, expenditures and ending funds available. In addition, it functions as a planning mechanism, as
it allows expenditures to be matched to available revenues and/or fund balance. Fund summaries also identify
components of funds available and anticipated uses. It is important to note that sources and uses are always balanced
because a fund’s sources either are expended, become restricted, committed or assigned, or become unrestricted
(unreserved or undesignated) funds available.
City funds can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds. By maintaining
separate funds, the City is able to comply with laws that require certain money to be spent for specific purposes.

General Fund
The General Fund is used to account for all financial resources of the City, except for those required to be accounted for
in another fund. The General Fund supports such basic services as the General Administration, Police, Fire, Finance,
Recreation, and Library services. Over the past ten years, the average percent change in revenue is 4% while expenditure
change is 5%.
Revenues
The City's General Fund is financed heavily by property taxes, which provide nearly half of the General Fund revenue.
Other revenue sources include: licenses and permits, intergovernmental revenue, charges for services, fines and
forfeitures, interest on investments, operating transfers, and miscellaneous revenues. For the budget, we have estimated
4% growth and have proposed levying three additional mills to bring annual revenues in line with annual operations. Below
are the property tax trends:

We are estimating the General Fund to generate $31.8 million in total revenue, with 47% is from property taxes, 22% from
the State Entitlement share and 9% for charges for services. The following chart shows the breakdown of esimated
revenues.
Expenditures
This year’s General Fund budget has $34.1 Million in expenditures. Personnel expenses are the highest portion at $21.8
million, followed by operations of $9.5 million. The capital expenditures are $2 million, which includes vehicle
r e p l a c e m e n t s a n d a d d i t i o n s , t h e C o m m i s s i o n R o o m r e m o d e l , a n d P olice portable radio lease. The break down by

Fund Balance
The General Fund balance at the beginning of the
budget year is higher than expected due to a
settlement of $1 million being awarded the City in
FY18 and an expected carry forward of $1.26 million.
These are on‐time monies and should be and have
been allocated as such. The equivalent of two mill,
$166,188, has been transferred to the Workforce
Housing Fund for Affordable Housing projects. The
remaining one time funds are being used for capital
items. The City has set as its policy for General Fund
to maintain at least 16.67% of the year’s revenue in
ending fund balance. The FY19 approved budget, we
have estimated to have will have 16.72% at the end of the fiscal year.

Special Revenue Funds
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restricted to
expenditure for specific purposes. The revenue is generated in different ways; some have assessments on properties,
property taxes, charges for services, and some are funded through grants or donations.
The Streets Maintenance Fund relies on assessments for revenue generation for street maintenance and reconstruction.
Since the City expanded the Streets program
to included major street maintenance projects
in FY16 there has been a need to increase the
assessment. This year we are recommending a
5% increase.
S t r e e t M a i n t e n a n c e f u n d b u d g e t s i n c l u d e
increased amounts of pavement maintenance
capital projects, and the addition of Streets
workers, which make up the large portion of
the increased expenditures. This trend will
continue with the inclusions of the Capital
Improvement Plan and the three‐year staffing
plan. As we look to toward the future and the
Capital Improvement Plan, there will need to
be larger increases near 10% for FY20 and FY21. With the increase this year and the next few years, we can build a reserve
in this fund assist in adjusting to unpredicted needs.
33
Street Arterial & Collector District Fund is a relatively
new fund and has seen a phase in approach with
funding. With the passing of the new gas tax, we are
reducing the assessment by the amount of the City’s
new gas tax allocation. This will reduce the
assessment by 28% and the average lot will see a
reduction in their annual fee from $68.97 to $51.78.
B a s e d o n t h e C a p i t a l I m p r o v e m e n t P l a n a n d o u r
projections with growth, there may need to be small
increases later in FY22 and FY23 pending the gas tax
allocation as well.
Tree Maintenance Fund accounts for special assessment revenues levied, received, and expended for tree maintenance
provided in the public right of way. In previous years, we raised the assessment by 15% to aid working towards the Urban
Forestry Management Plan. To continue those efforts and to build a reserve for capital items we are recommending a 5%
increase. The program mainly buys large capital items, and if one needs to be replaced unexpectedly, it can be costly. The
5% increase for the average lot would increase from $22.48 to $23.61.
The Workforce Housing Fund is where
our affordable housing program is
accounted for. Affordable Housing is part
of our Strategic Plan and a priority for
FY19. With the hiring of the program
coordinator, the City is forming an
updated plan to be approved by the
Commission. To ensure there is enough
for the program needs, one‐time monies
from the General Fund of $166,188, will
be transferred into the fund. There will
b e a r e v i e w i n t h e t h i r d q u a r t e r t o
determine if there is additional funding
through the cash‐in‐lieu program to equal more than the value to two mills ($210,488).

Enterprise Funds
Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations that are fi nanced and operated in a manner similar to private business
enterprises‐‐where the intent of the governing body is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods
or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges.
Water and Wastewater Fund‐ City Property owners are by and large required to use the City’s Water and Sewer treatment
systems. Currently, the City is undergoing a rate study. The revenue projected for FY19 are annualized amounts. Rates are
set in September.
48
Solid Waste Fund ‐The City’s Solid Waste Fund accounts
for the garbage and recycling service provided to citizens.
Revenues are comprised of solid waste and recycling fees.
Expenses are for personnel, operations and capital items.
With a joint effort with the Forestry Department, Solid
waste reduced its capital need by sharing a truck. Fund
balance is sufficient for depreciation coverage and for an
event, if we lose a truck unexpectedly. We recommend
from a 45‐day reserve to a 90‐day reserve to be able to
respond to competition.
Stormwater Fund started in 2013 and had its current rate
structure set in April 2015, rates are based on impervious
area, and existing infrastructure. The rate recommended
for FY19 remains the same as the previous year. With
maintaining the rate and with projected growth, the fund
will be able to maintain a 45‐day reserve and a
depreciation reserve to be able to replace unexpected
loss of equipment.

meet nationally recognized minimum consensus standards. Additionally the budget provides resources necessary
for the department to maintain a fire prevention program that is comprised of fire and life safety inspection,

next fiscal year is to begin the process of implementing the findings from
the 2017 Master Plan update while continuing the pursuit of
organizational excellence via the accreditation process of the Center for

The updated Fire Master Plan provided forty‐two recommendations for
the fire department to review and evaluate for the future growth,
efficiency, and effectiveness of the fire department. A primary
recommendation of the Fire Master Plan is the relocation of Fire Station
1 and 2, thus department administration will be working with City
Administration to help develop a formalized station location plan. As the
department continues to pursue accreditation, the completion of a city‐
wide risk assessment and standards of cover will be required.
Accomplishments

calendar year 2016. This increase in service demand is not expected to flatten out or decrease anytime in
the near future, rather the department expects to see another 10% or larger increase in service demands
in 2017.
Budget Issues and Details
Implementation of the Fire Protection Master Plan / Pursuit of Accreditation via the Center for Public Safety

About:
The goal of the Street Maintenance division is to help provide for a network of safe roadways for the traveling
public and access to desired destinations such as emergency services, schools, employment, shopping, community
services, or other facilities in a quick, convenient, safe and comfortable manner while minimizing harmful effects

special assessments on property in the City for the repair and upkeep of the City's streets. Section 7‐12‐
4401 MCA authorizes the City to create street maintenance districts for the purpose of maintaining its
streets, alleys, and other public places. The maintenance districts were first created during fiscal year
1990‐91. Assessments are levied on each piece of property within the City limits and are recorded on the
property owners SID notices annually. Collection takes place in November and May and provide the
revenues for the street maintenance district program. The costs incurred in maintaining streets, alleys,
and other public places within the maintenance district are assessed against each property within the
district based on the assessable area of the property as a percentage of the entire assessable area of the
district, exclusive of streets, avenues, alleys, and public places.
GAS TAX FUND: The gas tax division accounts for the expenditure of the City's share of state collected gas
tax funds allocated to the City by the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT). Section 15‐70‐101
MCA provides that MDT shall allocate gas tax revenues to cities, towns, and counties. One‐half of the
City's allocation is based on population and one‐half is based on street and alley mileage. The funds may
be used only for construction, reconstruction, maintenance, and repair of streets and alleys. The funds
may not be used for equipment purchases.
Major Objectives:
Implement an efficient pavement management plan, in turn creating yearly maintenance programs for
failing street infrastructure.
Utilize pavement condition assessment for planning and scheduling our repairs from potholes to complete
reconstruction
Maintain streets and alley right‐of‐ways to allow traffic to move in a safe and prudent manner.
Improve the quality of summer and winter street maintenance work and communicate to the citizens so
that they may be better informed and plan for it.

Budget Issues and Details
Fees for Parks and Recreation have been formalized into one policy document and raised to cover costs while still
supplementing children and seniors. This will increase revenues for the General fund starting in FY19. Cemetery
fees have also been increased starting FY19 and only 35% of revenues will go to the perpetual care fund instead
of all plot sales. This will also contribute more revenue to the General Fund reducing the General fund supplement
to Cemetery costs. All fee increases were approved by the City Commission April 16, 2018.
FY2018 saw the addition of Storymill Park and Community Center. The remodeling began in FY18 and will continue
into FY19. This addition will enhance recreation programs and rental facilities the City has to offer. Coming online
in fall of FY19 is the first phase of Sports Park with four fields and two fields. The turf fields have been made
possible with a partnership with the Sports Park Foundation who will be managing the field rentals.

CAPITAL
EXPENDITURES
SUMMARY
146
147
Capital Expenditure Summary
The CIP includes any planned expenditure of $10,000 or greater, that results in the acquisition of an asset with a
useful life of 3 years or more. There is a couple of “exceptions” or “extensions” of this definition that we have
found helpful and necessary in past years:
General Planning Documents (master plans, community surveys, etc.) are NOT included in our CIP.
Specific plans that involve pre‐engineering or preliminary design of facilities are often (but not always)
included in the CIP.
Software purchases that could potentially be “software as a service”. Cloud based services are beginning
to replace our purchase of outright software and hardware. In the CIP, we have treated the software
projects as a capital outlay purchase; although a “service” type, solution may actually be chosen during
the bidding/proposal process.
State law and City charter require the City to prepare the CIP. State Law requires the City to maintain a Capital
Improvement Plan for our Development Impact Fee programs. Under Montana Code Annotated (MCA), this
Capital Improvement Plan provides the schedules and cost projections required under MCA §7‐6‐1602(2)(k)(i‐iv).
In Article 5.06 of the adopted City Charter, the City Manager is responsible for preparing and submitting a multi‐
year capital program to the City Commission no later than December 15 for the ensuing fiscal year.
Using this plan adopted in December the City
i n c o r p o r a t e s t h e f i r s t y e a r o f t h e p l a n i n t o t h e
budget. The plan includes large sewer capacity
projects that aid in the School District’s efforts in
building a new High school. These infrastructure
projects are the Davis Lift Station WWIF24 and the
Front Street Interceptor WWIF11, and are scheduled
in the Wastewater Impact Fee fund. Both projects
will require financing in order to be completed for a
total of just under $8 million. With these two
capacity efforts there are Street Impact Fee and
Arterial Collector shared projects to fund the
building of the roads surrounding the new high
school. Beyond major projects, there is planned road maintenance, vehicle replacements and building
improvement. Operational impacts are on the side of long term maintenance of infrastructure and maintenance
of vehicles.
148
FY19 Capital Projects with Material Operational Impacts
Most capital projects have some sort of impact on ongoing operational costs. FY19 has some areas with
operational cost:
The larger infrastructure projects have an impact on our operational costs, which can include increased
cost for maintenance, additional monitoring, and additional services such as more roads to plow with the
street construction scheduled. The major wastewater projects discussed earlier will add maintenance
time and monitoring. The streets that will be constructed will affect the Street Maintenance fund’s
operational budgets in FY20 with the additional snow plowing and into the future for repairs and
maintenance.
Expanding the vehicle fleet increases maintenance and gas expenditures. This budget year there are some
vehicles and other mobile equipment replacements that will not have as big of impact as the new vehicles
expanding the number in the fleet.
We are not constructing any major building in this budget but there are some remodels but their
operational impact is minimal since there is not additional need for cleaning and utilities. This includes
the Professional building remodel and the City Commission room.
Included in the plan looking out towards the future:
2020 ‐ The outlook for the 2020 includes another sewer capacity‐expanding project that is dependent on the Davis
Lift Station being done in 2019. The Norton East Ranch Outfall Diversion WWIF38 is $3,320,000 and will need
financing at this point in the plan. There are again major roads funded through the Street Impact Fee Fund and
Arterial Collector fund a good portion is for building of the roads surrounding the new high school. Fire Station 1
is planned in this year; this will be an expansion and relocation of the current station. Along with these major
projects road maintenance, vehicle replacements and building improvements are in the plan as well.
2021 ‐ This includes a water fund major project for the Lyman Tank and Transmission Main Construction W88,
which will be funded through financing for $10million. Griffin 7th to Rouse SIF113 funded by Street Impact Fees
and Arterial collector funds is scheduled in FY21 for a project total of $3.7 million. This is also the $20 million
portion of the Law Justice Center is scheduled.
2022 ‐ The Indoor/Outdoor aquatics center is planned for FY22 and will be funded through bonds going to the
citizens for a vote. The Water fund has an over $6million projects, PRV Phase 2 ‐ Automation and Instrumentation
Upgrades W71 which will provide necessary water system maintenance work. Routine vehicle replacements, pipe
replacements and road maintenance is planned.
2023 ‐ Fowler connection (Huffine to Oak) SIF114 funded by Street Impact Fees and Arterial collector funds is
scheduled in FY23 for a project total of $7.5 million. Wastewater Impact Fees has a capacity project N Frontage
Rd Interceptor WWIF20 scheduled for just under $5.3 million. The relocation of Fire Station 2 is scheduled to align
with service needs as outlined in the adopted master plan.

Appendix B: Budget and Financial Policies
The overall goal of the City's financial policies is to establish and maintain effective management of the City's
financial resources. Formal policy statements and major objectives provide the foundation for achieving this goal.
Accordingly, this section outlines the policies used in guiding the preparation and management of the City's overall
budget and the major objectives to be accomplished. In addition, the rationale, which led to the establishment
of the fiscal policy statements, is also identified.
Budget Development & Administration
1. A comprehensive annual budget will be prepared for all funds expended by the City.
State law provides that "no money shall be drawn from the treasury of the municipality nor shall any obligation
for the expenditure of money be incurred except pursuant to the appropriation made by the commission."
Inclusion of all funds in the budget enables the commission, the administration, and the public to consider all
financial aspects of city government when preparing, modifying, and monitoring the budget, rather than deal with
the City's finances on a "piece meal" basis.
2. The budget will be prepared in such a manner as to facilitate its understanding by citizens and elected
officials.
One of the stated purposes of the budget is to present a picture of the City government operations and intentions
for the year to the citizens of Bozeman. Presenting a budget document that is understandable to the citizens
furthers the goal of effectively communicating local government finance issues to both elected officials and the
public.
3. Budgetary emphasis will focus on providing those basic municipal services which provide the maximum level
of services, to the most citizens, in the most cost effective manner, with due consideration being given to all
costs‐‐economic, fiscal, and social.
Adherence to this basic philosophy provides the citizens of Bozeman assurance that its government and elected
officials are responsive to the basic needs of the citizens and that its government is operated in an economical
and efficient manner.
4. The budget will provide for adequate maintenance of capital, plant, and equipment and for their orderly
replacement.
All governments experience prosperous times as well as periods of economic decline. In periods of economic
decline, proper maintenance and replacement of capital, plant, and equipment is generally postponed or
eliminated as a first means of balancing the budget. Recognition of the need for adequate maintenance and
replacement of capital, plant, and equipment, regardless of the economic conditions, will assist in maintaining the
government's equipment and infrastructure in good operating condition.
5. The City will avoid budgetary practices that balance current expenditures at the expense of meeting future
years' expenses.
162
Budgetary practices such as postponing capital expenditures, accruing future years' revenues, or rolling over
short‐term debt are budgetary practices which can solve short‐term financial problems; however, they can create
much larger financial problems for future administrations and commissions. Avoidance of these budgetary
practices will assure citizens that current problems are not simply being delayed to a future year.
6. The City will give highest priority in the use of one‐time revenues to the funding of capital assets or other
non‐recurring expenditures.
Utilizing one‐time revenues to fund on‐going expenditures results in incurring annual expenditure obligations
which may be unfunded in future years. Using one‐time revenues to fund capital assets or other non‐recurring
expenditures better enables future administrations and commissions to cope with the financial problems when
these revenue sources are discontinued, since these types of expenditures can more easily be eliminated.
7. The City will maintain a budgetary control system to help it adhere to the established budget.
The budget passed by the Commission establishes the legal spending limits for the City. A budgetary control
system is essential in order to insure legal compliance with the City's budget.
8. The City will exercise budgetary control (maximum spending authority) through City Commission approval
of appropriation authority for each appropriated budget unit.
Exercising budgetary control for each appropriated budget unit satisfies requirements of State law. It also assists
the commission in monitoring current year operations and acts as an early warning mechanism when departments
deviate in any substantive way from the original budget.
9. Reports comparing actual revenues and expenditures to budgeted amounts will be prepared monthly.
The City's budget is ineffective without a system to regularly monitor actual spending and revenue collections
with those anticipated at the beginning of the year. Monthly r eports comparing actual revenues and expenditures
to budget amounts provide the mechanism for the Commission and the administration to regularly monitor
compliance with the adopted budget.
Revenue Collection
1. The City will seek to maintain a diversified and stable revenue base.
A city dependent upon a few volatile revenue sources is frequently forced to suddenly adjust tax rates or alter
expenditure levels to coincide with revenue collections. Establishment of a diversified and stable revenue base,
however, serves to protect the City from short‐term fluctuations in any one major revenue source.
2. The City will estimate revenues in a realistic and conservative manner.
Aggressive revenue estimates significantly increase the chances of budgetary shortfalls occurring during the year‐
‐resulting in either deficit spending or required spending reductions. Realistic and conservative revenue
estimates, on the other hand, will serve to minimize the adverse impact of revenue shortfalls and will also reduce
the need for mid‐year spending reductions.
163
3. The City will pursue an aggressive policy of collecting revenues.
An aggressive policy of collecting revenues will help to ensure the City's revenue estimates are met, all taxpayers
are treated fairly and consistently, and delinquencies are kept to a minimum.
4. The City will aggressively pursue opportunities for Federal or State grant funding.
An aggressive policy of pursuing opportunities for federal or state grant funding provides citizens assurance that
the City is striving to obtain all state and federal funds to which it is entitled, thereby reducing dependence on
local taxpayers for the support of local public services.
5. User fees and charges will be used, as opposed to general taxes, when distinct beneficiary populations or
interest groups can be identified.
User fees and charges are preferable to general taxes because user charges can provide clear demand signals
which assist in determining what services to offer, their quantity, and their quality. User charges are also more
equitable, since only those who use the service must pay‐‐thereby eliminating the subsidy provided by nonusers
to users, which is inherent in general tax financing.
6. User fees will be collected only if it is cost‐effective and administratively feasible to do so.
User fees are often times costly to administer. Prior to estab lishing user fees, the costs to establish and administer
the fees will be considered in order to provide assurance that the city's collection mechanisms are being operated
in an efficient manner.
Expenditures and Payments
1. On‐going expenditures will be limited to levels which can be supported by current revenues.
Utilization of reserves to fund on‐going expenditures will produce a balanced budget; however, this practice will
eventually cause severe financial problems. Once reserve levels are depleted, the City would face elimination of
on‐going costs in order to balance the budget. Therefore, the funding of on‐going expenditures will be limited to
current revenues.
2. Minor capital projects or recurring capital projects, which primarily benefit current residents, will be
financed from current revenues.
Minor capital projects or recurring capital projects represent relatively small costs of an on‐going nature, and
therefore, should be financed with current revenues rather than utilizing debt financing. This policy also reflects
the view that those who benefit from a capital project should pay for the project.
3. Major capital projects, which benefit future as well as current residents, will be financed with current
revenues as well as other financing sources (e.g. debt financing).
This policy reflects the view that those who benefit from a capital project should pay for the project.
164
4. Major capital projects, which benefit future residents, will be financed with other financing sources (e.g.
debt financing).
Major capital projects represent large expenditures of a non‐recurring nature which primarily benefit future
residents. Debt financing provides a means of generating sufficient funds to pay for the costs of major projects.
Debt financing also enables the costs of the project to be supported by those who benefit from the project, since
debt service payments will be funded through charges to future residents.
5. Construction projects and capital purchases of $10,000 or more will be included in the Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP); minor capital outlays of less than $10,000 will be included in the regular operating budget.
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) differentiates the financing of high cost long‐lived physical improvements
from low cost "consumable" equipment items contained in the operating budget. CIP items may be funded
through debt financing or current revenues while operating budget items are annual or routine in nature and
should only be financed from current revenues.
6. Spending Policy:
The City will spend its resources in the following order. Resources will be categorized according to Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for state and local governments, with the following general definitions:
Restricted ‐‐ Amounts constrained to specific purposes by their providers (such as grantors, bondholders,
and higher levels of government) through constitutional provisions or by enabling legislation.
Committed ‐‐ Amounts constrained to specific purposes by the City Commission; to be reported as
committed, amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City Commission takes action to
remove or change the constraint.
Assigned ‐‐ Amounts the City intends to use for a specific purpose; intent can be expressed by the
Commission or by an official or body to which the Commission delegates the authority. The City
Commission delegates this authority to the City Manager.
Unassigned ‐‐ Amounts that are available for any purpose; these amounts are reported only in the General
Fund.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available, spending will occur in the following order, for the
identified fund types:
Fund Type Order of Spending
General Fund 1. Restricted
2. Committed
3. Assigned
4. Unassigned
The City Commission and the City Manager, individually, have the authority to
express assignments in the General Fund.

Debt Administration
1. The City will limit long‐term debt to capital improvements, which cannot be financed from current revenues.
Incurring long‐term debt serves to obligate future taxpayers. Excess reliance on long‐term debt can cause debt
levels to reach or exceed the government's ability to pay. Therefore, conscientious use of long‐term debt will
provide assurance that future residents will be able service the debt obligations left by former residents.
2. The City will repay borrowed funds, used for capital projects, within a period not to exceed the expected
useful life of the project.
This policy reflects the view that those residents who benefit from a project should pay for the project. Adherence
to this policy will also help prevent the government from over‐extending itself with regard to the incurrence of
future debt.
3. The City will not use long‐term debt for financing current operations.
This policy reflects the view that those residents who benefit from a service should pay for the service. Utilization of
long‐term debt to support current operations would result in future residents supporting services provided to current
residents.
4. The City of Bozeman will adhere to a policy of full public disclosure with regard to the issuance of debt.
Full public disclosure with regard to the issuance of debt provides assurance that the incurrence of debt, for which
the public is responsible, is based upon a genuine need and is consistent with underwriters’ guidelines.
Reserves and Fund Balances
1. Reserves and Fund Balances will be properly designated into the following categories:
166
Nonspendable fund balance ‐‐ Amounts that are not in a spendable form (such as inventory) or are
required to be maintained intact (such as the corpus of an endowment fund).
Restricted fund balance ‐‐ Amounts constrained to specific purposes by their providers (such as
grantors, bondholders, and higher levels of government) through constitutional provisions or by
enabling legislation.
Committed fund balance ‐‐ Amounts constrained to specific purposes by the City Commission; to be
reported as committed, amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City Commission
takes action to remove or change the constraint.
Assigned fund balance ‐‐ Amounts the City intends to use for a specific purpose; intent can be
expressed by the Commission or by an official or body to which the Commission delegates the
authority.
Unassigned fund balance ‐‐ Amounts that are available for any purpose; these amounts are reported
only in the General Fund.
2. A minimum level of General Fund reserve equal to 16.67% of annual revenues will be maintained by the City.
This reserve is committed to be used for: cash flow purposes, accrued employee payroll benefits which are not
shown as a liability, unanticipated equipment acquisition and replacement, and to enable the city to meet
unexpected expenditure demands or revenue shortfalls.
Property taxes represent the City's primary source of general fund revenue. Property taxes are collected in
November and May of each fiscal year. Since the City's fiscal year begins on July 1st, the City must maintain an
adequate cash balance in order to meet its expenditure obligations between July 1st and the commencement of
the collection of property taxes in November.
Accrued employee payroll benefits represent a bona fide obligation of the City. The City will maintain sufficient
reserves to meet its annual expenditure obligations.
The City recognizes the need to maintain adequate equipment in order to carry out required public services.
Equipment acquisition and replacement represent on‐going costs of a relatively minor nature, as compared to
major capital purchases. We plan for equipment replacement within our Capital Improvement Program.
However, unforeseen equipment problems will arise. The reserve will provide resources for the immediate,
unanticipated replacement of critical equipment.
The City is subject to revenue shortfalls and unexpected expenditure demands during the fiscal year. An
undesignated General Fund reserve will be maintained to be able to offset these revenue shortfalls or meet
unexpected demands occurring during the year, without suddenly adjusting tax rates or reducing expenditures.
Financial Reporting & Accounting
1. The City will manage and account for its financial activity in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP), as set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
GASB is recognized as the authority with respect to governmental accounting. Managing the City's finances in
accordance with GAAP and in accordance with the rules set forth by GASB provides Bozeman citizens assurance
that their public funds are being accounted for in a proper manner.
167
2. The City will maintain its accounting records for general governmental operations on a modified accrual
basis, with revenues recorded when available and measurable, and expenditures recorded when services or
goods are received and liabilities incurred. Accounting records for proprietary fund types and similar trust funds
will be maintained on an accrual basis, with all revenues recorded when earned and expenses recorded at the
time liabilities are incurred, without regard to receipt or payment of cash.
Adherence to this policy will enable the City to prepare its financial statements in accordance with GAAP as set
forth by the GASB.
3. The City of Bozeman will prepare a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) in conformity with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The report will be made available to the general public. The
CAFR shall be prepared in accordance with the standards establi shed by the GFOA for the Certificate of
Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting Program
The Certificate of Achievement represents a significant accomplishment for a government and its financial
management. The program encourages governments to prepare and publish an easily readable and
understandable comprehensive annual financial report covering all funds and financial transactions of the
government during the year. The CAFR provides users with a wide variety of information useful in evaluating the
financial condition of a government. The program also encourages continued improvement in the City's financial
reporting practices.
4. The City will ensure the conduct of timely, effective, and annual audit coverage of all financial records in
compliance the local, state, and federal law.
Audits of the City's financial records provide the public assurance that its funds are being expended in accordance
with Local, State, and Federal law and in accordance with GAAP. Audits also provide management and the
Commission with suggestions for imp r o v e m e n t i n i t s f i n a n c i a l o perations from independent experts in the
accounting field.
5. The City of Bozeman will maintain a policy of full and open public disclosure of all financial activity.
Full and open public disclosure of all financial activity provides the public with assurance that its elected officials
and administrators communicate fully all financial matters affecting the public.
6. The modified accrual basis of accounting and budgeting is used for the governmental funds. Under the
modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when susceptible to accrual, i.e., both measurable
and available. Available means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to
pay liabilities of the current period. Expenditures are recorded when the related liability is incurred. Employee
compensated absences and principal and interest on long‐term debt expenditures are recorded when due in
the current period. The accrual basis of accounting is used for proprietary funds. Under this method, revenues
are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when the related liability is incurred. For budget
preparation and presentation, the proprietary funds’ expenses are converted to expenditures and follow the
same budget format as the government fund types. Capital outlays in the enterprise funds are presented as
expenses for budget basis, but are recorded as assets along with associated depreciation expense on the GAAP
168
basis. Debt service principal payments in the enterprise funds are accounted for as expenses for budget
purposes, but are reported as reduction of long‐term debt liability on the GAAP basis.
Recording capital outlays as expenditures and principal payments on long‐term debt for budget purposes,
presents a clearer picture of the City’s financial operations, is easier to administer for cash flow purposes, and is
easier for the lay person to understand.

Appendix C: Long Range Financial
Planning
5‐year Financial Plans: Each year, the City also prepares and maintains financial plans for the current year
and the ensuing 5 years for the following funds:
Street Maintenance Fund
Arterial & Collector Fund
Tree Maintenance Fund
Stormwater Fund
Solid Waste Fund
In prior years the Water Fund and Wastewater fund were included in long range planning but for FY19 a
rate study is being performed that will analyze the next five years of the fund to be presented in early fall
for rates setting in October.
These plans are developed as a part of the annual budget process and are based on current and future
estimates of staffing levels, estimated increases in operating costs such as supplies, fuel, and chemicals,
