The document provides detailed information about the financial policies and budget management of the City of Chandler in Arizona. It outlines the steps involved in the development of a build-out strategic plan, including conducting interviews with community leaders and forming a Build Out Steering Committee. The document also discusses the use of a fiscal model to project future revenues and expenditures and assess the financial impact of land use on future strategies.
The document highlights the financial policies implemented by the City of Chandler, which are categorized into Operating Management, Capital Management, Debt Management, Reserves, and Financial Reporting. These policies aim to ensure sound fiscal planning and management of fiscal integrity. It is mentioned that the general fund contingency reserve has been reduced from 15% to 12% as approved by the Council.
Under the Operating Management Policies, department heads are expected to manage their areas with the overall financial health of the City in mind. The budget process allows for weighing competing requests for resources within projected fiscal constraints. On-going expenses are to be funded by on-going revenues, and user fees and charges are periodically analyzed and updated. Development fees for capital expenses related to new development are reviewed annually, and grant funds for on-going expenses must have a reserve in the General Fund.
The Capital Management Policies state that a five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is developed annually, including a list of proposed capital improvements with cost estimates, financing methods, and time schedules. The CIP covers infrastructure or facilities costing over $50,000. The document also provides an overview of the 2005-2010 CIP, which is divided into major program areas and includes expenditure and revenue summaries, project descriptions, budgets, funding sources, and impact on the operating budget.
Additionally, the document mentions that in late April or early May, the City Council holds budget briefings to examine each aspect of the capital review and make recommendations.
Overall, the document emphasizes the City of Chandler's commitment to strong financial policies and fiscal planning to ensure the provision of quality services to its citizens.
