Farmington Hills FY 20/21 i Farmington Hills FY 20/21 ii DESCRIPTION OF THE CITY Farmington Hills is a 34 square mile suburban community with a pastoral and gently rolling terrain in Oakland County, MI. It is one of the largest cities in Oakland County; the most prosperous county in Michigan and one of the most prosperous counties in America. Incorporated in 1973, the City quickly grew from its rural roots, and today offers a unique blend of historic charm, international diversity, and cutting edge commerce, making it one of the most desirable locations to live and work in the United States. The City possesses an ideal location within 25 minutes of downtown Detroit and Detroit Metro Airport and at the focal point of a North/South and East/West freeway network. Industrial centers of Warren, the Saginaw/Flint area, Lansing and Toledo, Ohio, as well as the University Research Corridor are within an hour’s drive. Approximately half of America's disposable income, half of the country's work force and nearly half of the total U.S. population are within a 500- mile radius of the City. The City supports seven industrial parks totaling more than 600 acres. In addition, the 12 Mile Road, Orchard Lake Road and Northwestern Highway corridors host many commercial and office developments, which house many corporate headquarters and district offices of regional, national and international prominence. The community offers many premier residential areas providing a wide range of housing options, meeting the needs and style demands of those who live here. The distinctive custom residences, neighborhoods with well established landscaping and tree lined streets, well planned condominiums and a variety of apartments provide options to fit every lifestyle and price range. The City's respect for its Quaker heritage is demonstrated by its commitment to historical preservation through its Historic Commission, Historical District and the conversion of the historic Spicer Estate House to a Visitor Center located in Heritage Park. The City is enhanced by exemplary educational opportunities for kindergarten through 12th grade via both public and private schools and a premier district library system with one of the highest annual circulation rates in the State. A broad spectrum of recreational and cultural activities is available within the City or within a short drive. Twelve major colleges and universities are within a 45-minute drive of the community. Quality health care is readily accessible through Beaumont Hospital, Farmington Hills, a full service teaching hospital with a Level II Trauma Center and Certified Stroke Center, which is associated with Michigan State University and a part of Beaumont Health. Twelve major medical centers and hospitals are within a half-hour driving distance of the City. Many physicians affiliated with these medical facilities maintain their offices in Farmington Hills. Farmington Hills FY 20/21 iii HOW TO USE THIS BUDGET DOCUMENT This document outlines the City’s operational master plan for the coming budget year. This section is intended to acquaint the reader with the organization of the budget document and assist in obtaining the optimum from the information contained in this document. The budget is divided by tabs into sections. A Table of Contents tab is included in the beginning of the book. The City Manager’s Message, which capsulizes the objectives of the budget along with the story behind the raw numbers, is presented in the second tab. It identifies major issues, outlines decisions to be made by the City Council during budget review and adoption, and communicates a thorough understanding of the budget impact for the upcoming fiscal year. A Tax Overview is also included in this tab which outlines the City’s Total Tax Rate and its allocation between funds. A graphic portrayal of the budgetary fund revenues and expenditures by sources and uses is also presented in this section. An Organizational Chart is provided for the entire City organization. A chart depicting the City’s financial and accounting fund structure is also included in this section. Department Organizational Charts are provided in each department’s budget section.

Revenue and expenditure schedules include actuals for the past two completed years, the current fiscal year’s amended budget, projected actuals for the current fiscal year, and the proposed/adopted budget. Expenditures are broken down into these categories: personnel, operating supplies, professional & contractual services, and capital outlay. The General Fund is further subdivided into major functional areas of activities such as: Boards, Commissions & Agencies; General Government; Public Safety (Police and Fire); Planning & Community Development; Public Services; and Special Services. Departmental Expenditures are grouped by activity. Included in each section are narratives describing the department or division’s mission, followed by goals, performance objectives and performance indicators. The performance indicators are divided into service level and efficiency measures. Also included is an organizational chart, staff position listing and a summary which highlights how we project the current year will end, in total, compared to the budget; as well as how next year’s proposed budget, in total, compares to the current year. This is followed by the line-item detail budget, key trends shown graphically and capital outlay schedules. The Special Revenue Funds section contains budget information and the proposed budget for funds that are maintained for specific revenue sources that are restricted or committed to expenditures for specific functions or activities.

During the general election, five republican State House incumbents were defeated by democrats, but ultimately republicans were able to maintain control, winning 64 of 110 seats. Federally, the 2012 election was labeled a victory for democrats who held on to both the White House and control of the U.S. Senate. The Michigan Congressional delegation was slightly shaken due to redistricting and scandal in the 11th district seat. As a result, Republicans walked away with nine of these fourteen seats. As the Michigan legislature began their lame duck session, we were pleased to learn that lawmakers were taking up a plan to modernize Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. This excitement turned to disappointment after the bills passed both chambers, but the Governor exercised his right to veto due to amendatory language that had been added.
