TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND ~EMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL:
Submitted herewith is the Preliminary Budget for the 1961-62 Fiscal
Year. The source of funds to finance City activities are as follows:
Cash on Hand
Anticipated Revenues - Fiscal
Year
$ 120,000.00
260,500.00
The budget for Personnel and Maintenance and Operation is as follows:
Personnel
Maintenance & Operation
Other (Consultant Fees, Contract
Services and Capital Requests)
80,728.00
80,263.00
50,225.00
211,21b.00
The Preliminary Budget emphasizes Municipal services; Police protec-
tion, street maintenance, street cleaning, traffic control. We have, for
the first time, included monies for an expanded recreation program. The
main expenditure will be for a full time Recreational Director. Getting
this department under way has been discussed by the Council many times.
The final analysis of a full time Recreation Department will depend on the
use of school grounds and buildings that can be used for an overall pro-
gram.
Expenditures for the operation of the several departments are basical.
ly the same as for the fiscal year 1960-61. We have recommended salary
increases for employees. These increases are in line with salaries paid
by neighboring cities. A salary schedule is submitted for reference.
If this schedule is adopted, the matter of salary paid to an employee
is set forth in the schedule. This gives the starting salary and provides
for the next step ~ncrease by a systematic procedure. The pay rate sched-.
ule has eleven (11) classifications and five (5) steps. The classificatio~
will take care of all our present employees.
During last year's budget discussions, we briefly talked about a
health and medical plan for employees. This type of benefit is recognized
by private industry and is a must for their employees. Many of the Cities
in California have adopted health and medical programs for their employees
learning from industry that such benefits tend to keep good employees from
leaving.
We can perform the services outlined on the $.20 tax rate. However,
the time is approaching when the $.20 rate will not keep up to the
services that are needed. The City's growth is going to require more
police protection, street cleaning and general City Maintenance.
Interest in expanding our recreational activities will need more fi-
nancing. We are getting out of the infant stage and will have to

Interest in expanding our recreational activities will need more £i-
nanclng. We are gettlng out of the infant stage and will ~ve to get
new clothes for the growing child. This is going to take money!
Each department's budget request is self-explanatory and I do not
think it necessary that I go into detail. However, there are some that
I should comment on.
Planning Commission
In the Planning Commission budget, I have included the estimated
costs of the Master Plan. I think that it should be an item charged to
the Planning Commission budget.
Cit~ Attorney
The City Attorney's budget for 1961-62 should be reviewed by the
Council. The Council realizes that there are unforseen expenditures
that will come up in the City Attorney's office. Extra legal work that
will be authorized by the City Council. Appropriations for this will
have to be made from the Council's unappropriated reserve.
Engineering Department
Instead of the usual lump sum for special engineering work, I have
recommended $10,000.00. I believe, under the new arrangement of having
work orders submitted to the engineering department for extra work, that
this will eliminate a great deal of extra cost that has taken place in the
past. The extra charges that were made against the City were many that
could have been done through City Hall. If the $10,000.O0 is not suf-
ficient for the contemplated engineering services, the Council can increase
it.
Police Department
I have talked ~Dh Sheriff ai~bons a~mt additional police service
for the coming year and he has informed me, by letter, that we will have
two hours per day of additional service, for the additional sum of
$~,401.90. The Sheriff stated that during the past year, the police
activities increased considerably and no charge was made to the City
for the extra services. I will verify this statement because several
times I have called the Sheriff and asked that we have additional pa-
trolling in an area. We have had a deputy check the youth center when
dances are held and we have had extra patrolling due to the increased
traffic problem. In last year's budget, the Council approved an amount
of $6,000.00 for additional police protection and we did not have to
draw on this money.
Recreation Department
As I have previously stated, we have increased the amount of this
budget for the coming year due to the interest in developing a larger
and more active recreation program. The amount that has been recommended
is a minimum and the Council may see fit to increase the recommendation.
-2 -
This budget figure does not include the $1,75o.o0 ~hat was set aside
in last year's budget for a capital improvement fund. This money is
still encumbered.
Street .Maintenance
Last year I recommended that we hire two employees to work as
maintenance men. I would recommend this procedure again this year. The
lag in time to have a contractor come in and make necessary street re-
pairs and other incidental maintenance work is not conducive to good
public relations. I am convinced that there will also be a considerable
saving to the City in setting up a minimum crew to take care of the many
maintenance problems that come up throughout the year.
Street Lishtin6~.Traffic Si6nal, Maintenance and Repair.
During the past year the Council, by resolution, dissolved the
Cupertino Lighting District and has placed the whole city in a single
lighting district. This will eliminate the heavy tax that was being levied
against the few homeowners to pay for all of the street lighting in the
City. The Street Lighting budget for the coming year is $11,O00.00.
We have a fund balance, as of June 30, 1961 of $5,000.00. We will need
an additional $6,000.00 to take care of the street lighting energy on a
ten million assessed value. We will have to collect $.06 per $100.00
from property owners throughout the City. This will be collected along
with our regular $.20 general fund taxes. The separation will be made
by the Finance Officer giving the appropriation to the lighting district
in relation to the amount of taxes paid. I have to point out here that
our tax rate will remain, for the general fund purposes, at $.20, but
there will be an additional six cents levied for the lighting district.
This change in lighting tax is going to benefit quite a few home-
owners who, in the past, have been paying $.29 for street lighting.
Resolution
We have prepared a resolution setting forth rules and regulations
pertaining to salaries, sick leave, vacations, leaves of absence and so
forth, together with a suggested salary schedule. It would be my re-
commendation that the Council adopt this resolution. It presents the
basic requirements that should be used in the City.
In Ty Budget Report a year ago, I was very optimistic about the
year 1960 61. What we had hoped to be a banner year did not exactly
turn out that way. Generally speaking, we did not miss our estimates by
too great a margin on anticipated revenues. I have somewhat toned down
our expectations for the coming year, but from many reliable sources,
it appears that the coming year is going to be better than good.

TO: THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF
THE WATER COMMISSION:
Submitted herewith is the Water Department budget, together with an
estimated revenue statement. In a review of this year's budget, a check
will be made in relation to last year's operation.
One thing for sure, we did not come up to the income that was hoped
for. The income drop is reflected by the overall country's economic
situation during 1960 and 1961. We did have, what has been termed,
a mild recession. I believe it had a tremendous effect on our water
revenue: 1) curtailment of home building; 2) homes that were built,
did not sell; 3) domestic customer water use down; 4) Permanente,
a large contributor to our economic stability, was down more than
50% in some months; 5) one severe jolt that we received, was the
demand of Santa Clara County that the Water Department pay County
taxes for its properties. This cost the Water Department about
$7,000.00 that we did not count on. Had we been able to keep this
money, our finances would not look too badly.
In this year's revenue statement, we have given a conservative
figure of $119,839.O0. With the obligations that we have to meet
during the coming year, and if all goes well, we should have a
balance on June 30, 1962, of $10,324.OO. In the business expense and
operation the expense for this department will be approximately $1,824.00
more than it was a year ago. This is due to an employee raise that I
have recommended.
Mrs. We~to~ , presently, receives $3~1.00. I have recommended that
she receive $376.00. Mr. Dockins, Water Department Foreman, I have
recommended an increase of from $550.00 to ~58~.00, and for William
Knotts, an increase from $375.00 to $~58.O0. These employees, by their
interest and devotion, have earned the increases requested.
The operation of the Department has been satisfactory. There are
a number of things that we should do this coming year, if finances
are available. We should build a fence around the water tanks on the
hill. Try as we may, we are unable to keep the young boys from climb-
ing up on the tanks and I am concerned that one of these days one of
them will falt off the tank and break an arm or a leg or their back
or injure themselves in a serious manner. Also, if money is available,
I want to paint the tanks on the hill and probably paint the office
building. We painted the inside this past year. We also intend to get
some kind of greenery in front of the office building.
We have not made any large requests for capital expenditures. I
would like to get an electric typewriter for the office. I think this
would help a great deal in the preparation of bills.
- 18 -
An important procedure in our billing, and one that we adhere to
religiously, is that water bills are all prepared by the BOth, if
there are 30 days in the monty, or the 3lst, whichever the case may
be. All bills are in the mail by by the first day of the month. It
has been definitely shown by public utility operations that
those cities that do their billing in a haphazard manner, get the
CUStomers in a haphazard feeling regarding the payment of their water
bills. When a customer knows that he will receive his water bills on
a certain day every month, as a general rule, he will budget for the
payment of the bill. If it should come any time during the month, he
spends the money that he has been saving for the water and generally
gets in arrears on his water bill. It has been mentioned that we
might be able to dispense with the part-time service that we have been
using. If we do, what I have Just commented on, will surely take place.
One girl cannot take care of preparing the bills, answering the
telephone and taking care of the counter with proper efficiency. I
think that the method that we are using has proven to be a good one.
It has been invaluable when the office clerk has to be away from the
office due to sickness, either in the family or herself, or during
vacation time. As a matter of fact, the young lady we are using part-
time has sufficient knowledge and information of the operation of the
office, that if for any reason Mrs. Weston had to be away for any
length of time, she could step in and take over.
Finally, the only thing that we need for a Successful year is to
have sufficient water for our customers.
Respectfully submitted,
PWS:hh Philip W. Storm
