ALEXANDRO LOZANO, DISTRICT 3 MELINA CASTRO, DISTRICT 4 PRESI ORTEGA, JR., DISTRICT 5 JOYCE WILSON EDDIE HOLGUIN JR., DISTRICT 6 CITY MANAGER STEVE ORTEGA, DISTRICT 7 BETO O’ROURKE, DISTRICT 8 OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER Honorable Mayor, Members of City Council and Citizens of El Paso, The Adopted fiscal year 2007 budget is a balance between the City’s strategic objectives and available resources. It reflects the diligent efforts of City staff to produce an operating budget plan that is driven by the goals and objectives of City Council. The budget is built to control costs and improve efficiencies, while maximizing customer- service, and service delivery. Some budget adjustments were required as a direct result of the new facilities brought on board by voter approved Quality of Life bond obligations. Included in these new facilities are three new fire stations, a new regional library, and the new history museum. Funding is included for the much anticipated newly renovated Main Library and park complex in downtown’s Cleveland Square marking the beginning of the downtown revitalization initiative. FY 2006 included the following achievements: ¾ The number of city departments was reduced from 34 to 26 while expanding several core services; improving service levels in these areas ¾ Revised the financial budget policies and debt service polices as approved by City Council on April 19, 2006 and were later utilized in the preparation of the FY 2007 budget ¾ A comprehensive classification and pay review for the entire non-uniformed work force, was completed which resulted in its first major restructuring in over 37 years ¾ City Council formulated and adopted policy priorities which identify six focus objectives for the organization and community ¾ Construction was completed and brought into operation several key facilities approved by the voters through the 2000 and 2004 quality of life bond initiatives ¾ A two-year $100 million capital improvement program for major street, drainage and other roadway infrastructure improvements was approved and implemented The financial picture for Fiscal Year 2007 is certainly far more optimistic than in late FY 2005 to early FY 2006, with strong growth rates in key revenue categories. Accompanying this growth are continuing pressures to reduce residential tax rates and the overall cost of government. At the same time, growth is fueling demand for government services and other new facilities associated with the 2000 and 2004 quality of life bond initiatives that will come on line in FY 2007. CITY OF EL PASO 3 BUDGET 2007 The fiscal year 2007 budget process was a collaborative effort citywide. It included a series of strategic planning meetings, the involvement of all department heads, and a comprehensive look at services and programs. Department directors defined core services, identified opportunities for more efficient service delivery, developed alternatives to current service delivery methods, and implemented recommendations to more effectively meet citizen expectations and requirements. The adopted budget reflects the results of many hours of strategic planning, a comprehensive budget review and management analysis. The Fiscal Year 2007 budget is predicated upon the following guiding principles: Sustainability. The O&M and debt service budget is funded with current revenues. Surplus undesignated reserves will only be used for one-time capital expenditures as may be required and approved by the City Council. Attention was given to concerns about residential property tax burden, along with other costs of service. Core Services. All core services are fully funded with emphasis on public safety, health and community development concerns. Quality of Life Bond Obligations. Funding has been provided for all new facilities associated with the FY 2000 and 2004 bond initiatives that are now or will be fully operational in FY 2007. Structural Deficiencies. We continue to attempt to address structural deficits in the City’s operations and maintenance budget as we identify these issues and as funding permits. This will be a multi-year effort as we integrate appropriate expenditures into the Operations and Maintenance budget that have historically not been adequately addressed or funded inefficiently through bond sources. Investment in Employees and Technology. This budget reflects our continued commitment to address disparity in compensation for non-public safety, general employees, as well as other workforce-related investments, including technology infrastructure to support our productivity. Council’s Policy Priorities. This budget provides funding to substantially advance Council’s strategic policy goals. The FY 2007 budget is balanced with current revenues to current expenditures. We may, however, be proposing some reprogramming of undesignated fund balance surplus above our year-end projections to address certain one-time capital expenditures that otherwise would require debt financing. This will depend on final revenue and expenditure outcomes at the closure of FY 2006 and City Council
