This 2018-19 City Manager’s Trial Budget is balanced, and focused on services for residents and maintaining Phoenix’s excellent quality of life. All existing services are maintained in the proposed budget with no new taxes or fees. Overall, the General Fund is balanced at $1.3 billion of revenues and expenses. It includes funding for infrastructure and maintenance, as well as a surplus of $2.9 million, due to ongoing savings. These savings can be used to address important community needs, including increased public safety staffing; expanded homelessness intervention; implementation of a structured sober living home licensing program; investments in additional trees and shade; library, arts and culture funding, as well as Census 2020 outreach to make sure every resident is counted. Additionally, rising property values allow the overall property tax rate to be reduced by two cents, to $2.14 next fiscal year. This booklet summarizes the proposed budget. More detailed information can be found at phoenix.gov/budget. The Trial Budget is presented to residents, at a series of public meetings in April (see calendar on page 4), and is always available at phoenix.gov/budget. Feedback on the proposed budget is an integral part of this process, and is valuable in helping the city’s budget take shape each year.

tax dollars support Enterprise Fund programs. Usersof these programs pay fees that support all the costsassociated with delivering these services, and thesefees cannot be used for any other purpose.A smaller portion of the budget comes from

Special Revenue Funds, which include local sales taxrevenue dedicated for a specific purpose and federalfunds.

PUBLIC ASKED TO PROVIDE INPUT ON PROPOSAL FOR ELECTION DATES CHANGE

The proposal is to move city elections fromodd-numbered years to the fall of even-numbered years, which would be atthe same time as the statewide elections.This is known as “consolidated elections.”The proposal means city offices wouldnow appear on the same ballot with theraces for federal, state, and county offices,and ballot propositions for the state andcounty. To make these changes happen,residents would need to vote to amendthe City Charter.

To provide comments, you can attend oneof the meetings, listed to the right, whichprecede or follow already-scheduledmeetings on the city’s proposed budgetfor FY 2018-19.

For more information, visitPhoenix.gov/Elections, or call 602-262-6837,or use the 7-1-1 Relay System.

The Phoenix City Council is seeking public comment on a proposal to change when city elections for Mayor andCity Council would be held. The change is being considered to potentially increase participation in city elections,since more voters tend to participate in state and federal elections in even-numbered years, particularly in theNovember General Election.
