RESOLUTION NO. 17-053
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO
ADOPTING A PORTION OF THE OPERATING AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2017-18 RELATED TO PASS-THROUGH REVENUES
FOR THE APPLE CAMPUS 2 PROJECT
WHEREAS, the orderly administration of municipal government is dependent
on the establishment of a sound fiscal policy of maintaining a proper ratio of
expenditures within anticipated revenues and available monies; and
WHEREAS, the extent of any project or program and the degree of its
accomplishment, as well as the efficiency of performing assigned duties and
responsibilities, is likewise dependent on the monies made available for that purpose;
and
WHEREAS, the City Manager has submitted his estimates of anticipated
revenues and fund balances, has determined that estimated revenues and fund balances
are adequate to cover appropriations, and has recommended the allocation of monies
for specified program activities; and
WHEREAS, a portion of the Public Works Department budget for fiscal year
2017-18 budget involves "pass-through" revenues paid to the City to cover the costs for
various consultants needed on the Apple Campus 2 project, which have been included
in the budget to provide transparency and accountability.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby
approve the following:
Section 1: That portion of the Public Works Department's budget for fiscal
year 2017-18 reflecting pass-through revenues paid to the City to cover consultant and
expert costs associated with the Apple Campus 2 project, as .shown in more detail on
Attachment Al, attached and incorporated by reference.

Budget
Message
June 20, 2017
To the Residents of Cupertino, Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
I am pleased to submit a balanced FY 2018 Adopted Budget. Cupertino prides itself on being a
financially stable organization, which helped the City avoid severe service level reductions and
layoffs during the last economic downturn. The City has been fortunate that revenues have
outpaced expenditures for the last several years. However, cities in California are expecting a 7-
year ramp up of CalPERS retirement rates due to the reduction in the expected investment rate
of return from 7.5% to 7%, which will increase personnel costs significantly over the forecast
period. With healthy reserves and projected surpluses in all five years of the forecast period, the
City is well positioned to manage these rapidly increasing costs.
The City’s strong incoming financial position notwithstanding, this significant new and
permanent liability warrants a response. Consequently, I propose increasing our CalPERS
Retirement reserve from $500,000 to $4.8 million in FY 2018. Over the next several months, staff
will be exploring the efficacy of transferring part or all of this reserve into a trust account
similar to the one we created to fund the City’s OPEB liability. Based on 10-year projections, this
approach will allow the City to weather the significant increases to employer retirement rates
and minimize their impacts on City operations.
Reflected in this budget are increases in salary and benefit costs resulting from three-year
bargaining unit contract agreements approved by Council in October 2016. I am pleased that
Cupertino employees are compensated well above median for our region allowing us to retain
and attract talent. Other budget resources are proposed for maintaining existing service levels
and infrastructure with few service level enhancements. The focus for next fiscal year will be on
better utilizing existing resources to maximize efficiency in delivering services to our residents.
I am recommending strategic investments in the areas of transportation, emergency
preparedness, senior recreation services, and Council staff support. A total of 4.0 new positions
were requested and approved by Council in this budget to help the City meet demands for
enhanced services. However, these positions will be limited-term in order to minimize long-
term impacts on the City’s fiscal health. I am also recommending a one-year extension of a
limited-term position that supports our sustainability programs. Finally, Staff is recommending
13
additional funds for contractual services in the Administrative Services Department to assist in
modernizing policies and internal processes that have languished for many years.
Two new funding sources will assist with our investment in transportation maintenance and
improvements. Measure B, a voter-approved county-wide transportation tax will result in
approximately $1.3 million additional revenue for local street and road maintenance. The Road
Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB1, Beall) signed by Governor Brown in March will
provide an additional $336,000 in FY 2018 for pavement maintenance, which will increase to
$1.3 million annually by FY 2020. Over the past four years, the City’s investment in pavement
maintenance has brought the City’s pavement condition index from 64 (fair) in 2012 up to an
improving 78 (good) today. As a city’s index nears 80, more money is spent on preservation
rather than rehabilitation, and consequently, maintenance costs are lower and require less
effort. Public Works staff is deservedly proud of this remarkable accomplishment and the new
Measure B and SB1 will help Cupertino meet and exceed its goal of an 80 pavement condition
index.
The 2016 fiscal year saw significant development in the City of Cupertino. Projects included a
variety of retail, residential, mixed-use and office. In 2017, we expect a drop in the level of large
projects and a sustained level or a slight decrease in smaller commercial and residential
projects. Below is a list of some of the major projects that have either been recently approved
and/or are in the construction stage. These projects contribute to the smart and diverse growth
of the city, contribute significantly to the growth in City financial resources, and provide a
much desired identity for the community:
• Apple Park. Construction has been progressing with an estimated goal of occupancy
from Spring 2017 through the end of the year. The project includes an approximately 3.4
million square feet of office and labs for research and development as well as a 1,000 seat
theater and supporting facilities. The completion of this project is expected to focus more
global interest in the city, and foster economic development by attracting businesses and
supporting services.
• Main Street. Construction for the retail portion was completed with the majority of the
spaces occupied. The office and flex space (which houses small businesses) are 100%
occupied. The Grand Opening of the plaza was held on September 17, 2016. Community
based events such as tree lighting and holiday music and dance have been planned and
held at the plaza. Main Street provides a gathering place for residents and a place to host
community events. Other uses that are to come in the upcoming year include a 180-
room Marriot Courtyard hotel, 120 apartments and a 0.5-acre public park in addition to
the already built Town Square.
14
• Hamptons. In July 2016, the City Council approved the redevelopment for the
Hamptons Project located near the Apple Park. The site was identified as a “Priority
Housing Element Site” in the Housing Element, proposes to replace the existing 342
apartments with a total of 942 apartments. Community benefits include $7 million
towards the Civic Center, an additional $7 million for the I-280/Wolfe Road interchange,
extension of a recycled water line to the project, and will share the cost toward the
establishment and operation of Transportation Demand Association that may fund
community shuttles. The project would also add 37 Below Market-rate (BMR) units for a
total of 71 affordable units. The project will also pay impact fees for parks, schools and
traffic improvements.
• Marina Plaza. In September 2016, the City Council approved the Marina Plaza project
which was also identified as a “Priority Housing Site” in the Housing Element. The
project replaces the existing Marina Shopping Center and Mandarin Gourmet restaurant
with 23,000 square feet of new retail and restaurant uses and provides an opportunity to
relocate some existing businesses as well as a small market, a new 122-room hotel along
De Anza Boulevard, and 188 residential units that include 18 affordable below-market
rate units. The project will increase the affordable housing stock in the city and provide
a new hotel, which will bring in much needed services and revenue.
• Target. On September 27, 2016, the Planning Commission approved an application from
Target to remodel the existing store at 20745 Stevens Creek Boulevard. The project
maintains the existing building footprint but has a redesigned interior to adapt to new
consumer trends and a new curbside pickup area on the west side of the building.
Project goals also include adding sustainability features such as solar canopies, living
walls (greenery), and drought-tolerant planting, accentuating the pedestrian link to the
entry plaza. The project has been put on hold for a year and is expected to begin in
January 2018. When the construction is completed, the Cupertino Target store will be
one of the first new corporate stores in the country to be designed with these features,
bringing economic viability and visibility to the city.
Organizational Changes
Last year, I hired the City’s first Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to lead a newly created
department focused on technology services. After assessing staff skills, the CTO has renamed
the department Innovation and Technology (IT) and reorganized it into five divisions:
Administration, Infrastructure, Applications, GIS, and Video. The Communication program
was split into the Video program, which comprises the technical audio-visual side of
communications, and Public Affairs. Public Affairs has moved into the City Manager’s Office
and is focused on community engagement, outreach, marketing, and branding. IT application
and hardware budgets will be centralized and managed by IT. Overall, this change has
15
improved IT customer service, as reflected in our recent internal customer satisfaction surveys,
with departments feeling more supported in making technology investments.
Organizational Accomplishments & Highlights
The City is proud of its reputation as a green city. To further its sustainability goals, the
following service level enhancements were implemented in FY 2017:
Community Choice Energy
Last year, the City partnered with the cities of Sunnyvale, Mountain View, the County and with
eight other Santa Clara communities to form the Silicon Valley Clean Energy Authority
(SVCEA) and operate the region’s first Community Choice Aggregation program. As of April 1,
2017, SVCEA is directly procuring renewable and low greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting electrical
power supplies on behalf of the residents and businesses in Santa Clara County. While electric
supply is handled by SVCEA, the electricity grid and customer service remain with PG&E.
Service to residential customers is being phased in April-October 2017. To see the latest on
SVCEA, visit www.svcleanenergy.org.
Drought and Storm Response
The beginning of the year was a peak for the multi-year State-wide drought emergency. Water
conservation was a priority City-wide. Municipal facilities achieved an overall water savings of
35% as compared to 2013. These savings exceeded local area goals and resulted in the
conservation of over 47.8 million gallons. Ironically, the very rains that ended the drought
emergency were the cause for the State and Federal flood disaster emergencies in Santa Clara
County. Fortunately, incidences of flooding and other damage were very light in Cupertino.
This is attributed to good preparation, experienced staff and well-maintained infrastructure.
Minimum Wage
Per Council direction, staff worked with the Cities Association of Santa Clara County on a
regional Minimum Wage Ordinance to increase the minimum wage to $15/hour by 2019. In
addition to helping craft the ordinance, staff made significant efforts to obtain feedback from
business stakeholders through an employer survey, several presentations at Chamber of
Commerce Legislative Action Committee, three business outreach meetings, and an online
community poll. After Council adopted Ordinance No. 16-2151 establishing a citywide
minimum wage on October 4, 2016, staff continued its outreach to ensure compliance with the
January 1, 2017 increase to $12/hour. Notices and postcards were sent out to every business
license holder in the City and residents were informed of potential price increases. To date, the
City has not received any complaints related to compliance. For more information, visit
www.cupertino.org/wagewatch.

Beekeeping Ordinance
In order to address an alarming reduction of bees in the United States, the City Council joined
many other cities and towns in the country to approve an amendment to the city’s current
Beekeeping Ordinance that had previously prohibited beekeeping within the majority of the
city’s 13 square miles. The amendment provides more reasonable and flexible regulations to
support and encourage urban beekeeping. Community Development Department collaborated
with Cupertino’s Rolling Hills 4-H team to develop regulations for the ordinance. The
Ordinance became effective on January 6, 2017.
Cupertino Scene
The City is improving its communication tools to better engage with the public. In February, the
Public Affairs team gave the Cupertino Scene a new look. The reimagined Scene is larger, has
brighter colors, features more articles, and includes a Q&A section for frequently asked
questions. The feedback has been very positive.
Implementation of 2016 Bicycle Transportation Plan
Following up on recommendations contained within the 2016 Bicycle Transportation Plan, a
study of conceptual designs is underway for protected bike lanes on Stevens Creek Boulevard
and McClellan Road, as well as for a network of bicycle boulevards on local streets throughout
the City. Implementation of these improvements is anticipated to begin in summer, 2017. Also,
a Request for Proposals has also been initiated for two major trail projects identified in the plan.
Pavement Management
This year, the city’s street pavement asset hit a new milestone. The measurement index in which
pavement condition is rated advanced from a network value of 70 out of 100 to a value of 78.
The value of this is that pavement conditions are becoming very good and the future cost to
maintain the network will become less. Also important is that this good condition results in less
wear and tear on vehicles, and much better surfaces for biking and walking.
Safe Routes to School
Now expanded from the initial six-school pilot program to include all fourteen public schools,
the Safe Routes to School (SR2S) program has continued to grow its influence among the public
school community within Cupertino. Just a few of the many accomplishments include:
•Creating a library of educational materials to encourage the use of alternate modes of
transportation to schools and to enhance safety for all roadway users;
•Scheduled walk audits at every Cupertino school to identify areas of improvement;
•Scheduled and coordinated bike rodeos at middle and elementary schools;
•Incorporated bike safety education at 6th-grade assemblies in CUSD;
17
• Oversight of the City’s crossing guard and bike fleet programs; and
• Travel mode data collection at all schools to monitor overall success of program
In addition, the SR2S Program is actively seeking to identify Parent Champions at each school
to advocate locally within their school community, and efforts are underway to expand in-class
education to every 3rd, 5th and 6th grade student in Cupertino, a key overall goal of the Program.
Below Market Rate (BMR) Manual
Staff updated the Policy & Procedures Manual for Administering Deed Restricted Affordable
Housing Units (BMR Manual), which was adopted by Council on September 20, 2016. The BMR
Manual establishes guidelines and procedures for the on-going administration of affordable
units. The amendments improve transparency by making the procedures more accessible and
clear. The City has received over 700 applications for placement on the BMR Eligibility List for
ownership and rental, which is a record high for Cupertino. While the demand for such units
severely outstrips supply, the City continues to work with developers to increase affordable
units in their housing projects.
Citywide Parks and Recreation System Master Plan
The Citywide Parks and Recreation System Master Plan is underway. A new consultant
agreement was approved by the City Council in January 2017 with MIG. Work has resumed on
the Plan, with on-site tours and interviews conducted in March and April 2017. A stakeholder
group will be formed in the coming months. The project is progressing well and expected to be
completed in 2018.
Stevens Creek Corridor Park Rangers
Shifting the City’s Park Rangers from a contract service to in-house City employees has proved
to be very beneficial for the Stevens Creek Corridor. The Rangers, hired summer 2016, have
become a welcome presence in the Corridor, providing a higher level of safety, security, and
customer service. The Rangers monitor and patrol the Corridor, work with the City Naturalist
on habitat restoration, and engage and educate visitors and volunteers on a variety of topics
including corridor restoration efforts, natural history, wildlife sightings, and leash laws.
Technology Services
The City has been leveraging software to increase efficiency and transparency, including:
• CityWorks expansion of GIS asset management to additional Public Works divisions
and replacement of MapGuide with updated property information application to
improve internal and community access to data.
18
• OpenGov budgeting module and in house Collective Budgeting tool to assist with
budget development.
• NeoGov recruiting and onboarding software to assist HR.
Labor Negotiations
The City successfully negotiated three-year labor agreements with its bargaining groups,
highlights include:
o Cost of living adjustments (3.5% Year 1, 3.25% Year 2, and 2.5% Year 3);
o Employees fully funding the employee contribution of retirement by July 2017 (Tier
1 – 8%, Tier 2 – 7%, Tier 3 – 6.25%);
o Increased health coverage contributions to $810 for family coverage the equivalent of
85% of the Kaiser Plan with 5% increases in January 2018 and January 2019;
o Fully covering dental costs and moving all groups to the same $2,500 benefit plan;
and
o Adding short-term disability for employees not covered under the State Plan.
Capital Improvement Projects Completed
At the end of fiscal year 2017, ten CIP projects will have been completed, including:
• Blacksmith Shop Forge Restoration
• Quinlan Community Center Fire Alarm Control Panel Replacement
• City Hall Turf Reduction
• De Anza Boulevard Monument Sign
• Pasadena Avenue Public Improvements
• Sidewalk Renovation on Stevens Creek Boulevard
• Resurfacing of tennis courts at the Sport Center and at Memorial Park
In addition, the Pedestrian Master Plan and the New Service Center Administration
Building Feasibility Study were completed. Major progress milestones were achieved on
many other projects, with most of these projects expected to be complete by the end of the
calendar year.
ADOPTED BUDGET OVERVIEW
The Adopted Budget reflects a total City budget of $148.9 million, an increase of $15.6 million or
12% when compared to the FY 2017 Adopted Budget. The City’s General Fund is at $75.1
million, a decrease of $2.2 million or 3% from the FY 2017 Adopted Budget. The General Fund
is balanced through the use of General Fund revenue of $80 million and is projected to end FY
2018 with approximately $6.9 million in unassigned fund balance that may be transferred to the
19
Capital Reserve per the Reserve and One Time Use Policy as part of the City’s year-end process.
The transfer is not reflected in the Adopted Budget.
As shown in the chart below, the Adopted Budget is largely funded by the General Fund (50%):

As in the past, we continue to recommend adding positions only on a limited term basis unless,
we are confident that the needed level of service will be permanent, our ongoing revenues can
support the position long-term, or we cannot recruit and/or retain the staff resource on a limited
term basis. Staff believe that none of these conditions exist to support permanent staff additions
at this time.
Changes to the Budget and Policies
The FY 2018 budget document and process are very similar to those of the past few years.
Below are a few highlights from the budget and process:
City Sponsorship of Festivals
In January 2017, the Recreation & Community Service Department introduced a new Special
Event Application and Information Packet for Community and Cultural Festivals at Memorial
Park, which outlines event requirements to assist event producers in planning successful events
at Memorial Park, including a clearly defined process, how to submit the annual application, an
event evaluation, and detailed planning requirements in one place for easy reference. All
existing festival producers submitted complete applications in February 2017, which covered
the period July 2017-June 2018. Having each event’s facility, park, street closure, and City
service requests in advance, including proposed days and times of use, allows staff to more
accurately calculate the full City costs to support each festival. In FY 2018, a total of $116,310 is
budgeted to cover the cost of 11 festivals as detailed in the Recreation and Community Service’s
Cultural Events program. Festival producers are requesting that City Council waive fees
associated with these festivals. In addition, the Department will propose Memorial Park festival
permit fees in the FY 2017-2018 fee resolution.
Revised Fees and Cost Allocation Plan (CAP)
Large shifts in the category of cost allocation changes are found almost across the board in this
year’s Adopted Budget. These shifts are primarily due to changes in methodology. The City
attempted to capture the full cost of providing services to the community in the 2017 CAP and
also captured the full cost of providing internal services such as management oversight from
City Manager’s Office, legal services, and grounds maintenance within the same fund. Fully
allocating internal service costs to internal service divisions within the General Fund required
significant staff time and proved to be of little value. The City has revised the model in FY 2018,
as recommended by Matrix Consulting, to align with standard industry practice. In addition,
the current fiscal year charges were trued up using actual expenditures. In the prior year,
budgeted appropriations were used. Both changes resulted in decreased cost allocation charges
citywide. Lastly, the City changed the cost spread methodology for Information Services to be
on a per device basis rather than on FTEs.
22
Performance Measures
In prior years, citywide performance measures have been reported by departments on a
quarterly basis. However, starting in FY 2018, they will be reported bi-annually at Mid-Year and
at year-end. This will allow departments more time between reports to track their progress,
collect their results, and ultimately focus efforts on improving performance.
Program Budget Detail at the Account Level
The City’s Audit Committee recommended a format change to the City’s budget due to the
success of the City’s Financial Transparency Portal. The recommendation was to remove the
schedules for the Program Budget Detail at the Account Level from program budget section as
this account level detail and more can be found in the portal.
The City also complies with the following additional policies and limits not listed in the
Financial Policy section but are updated and/or approved annually:
Investment Policy
The City Council annually updates and adopts a City Investment Policy that is in compliance
with State statutes on allowable investments. By policy, the Audit Committee reviews the policy
and acts as an oversight committee on investments. The policy directs that an external auditor
perform agreed-upon procedures to review City compliance with the policy. The full policy is
available on the City website as part of the May 16, 2017 City Council agenda packet.
GANN Appropriations Limit
The City’s appropriations limit for FY 2018 is $96,028,488, $4,161,474, or 4.5% higher than the FY
2017 limit of $91,867,014. For FY 2018, the City’s estimated appropriations of proceeds from
taxes, less statutory exclusions, are unchanged as of the Adopted Budget. If a city exceeds the
legal limit, excess tax revenue must be returned to the State or citizens through a process of
refunds, rebates, or other means that may be determined at that time. The appropriations limit
is not expected to present a constraint on current or future budget deliberations.
Adopted Budget by Fund
General Fund
The General Fund pays for core services such as public safety, recreation and community
services, planning and community development, streets and trees, and a host of other vital
services. The revenue used to pay for these services comes primarily from local taxes such as
property tax and sales tax, transient occupancy tax, charges for service, and a variety of other
discretionary sources. As illustrated in the chart below, the majority of General Fund revenue
23
supports funding for Public Works, Planning and Community Development, and Law
Enforcement.
General Fund revenue is estimated at $80 million in the FY 2018 Adopted Budget (excluding
fund balance). This is an overall increase of $1 million (1%) when compared to the FY 2017
Adopted Budget. Decreases in revenue are related to a one-time sales tax payment from the
state to reconcile the “triple-flip” in addition to a change in the methodology for cost allocation.
The local economic boom has driven strong gains in sales tax, property tax, and transient
occupancy tax revenues, which have partially been offset by decreases in development-related
fees and charges given the challenging political climate surrounding development in the City.
The following chart shows four years of total revenue, expenditures and changes to fund
balance for the General Fund:
General Fund Revenue, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance
The General Fund unassigned fund balance is projected to increase from the current year
estimate of $6.6 million to $7 million in FY 2018. As shown in the chart below, the FY 2018
ending fund balance is estimated to be $45.6 million, or 12% higher than the FY 2017 year-end
estimate. The increase in unassigned fund balance is due to increases in revenue sources and
decreases in expenditures mostly related to salary savings, special projects and other financing
uses.

Special Revenue Funds
Special Revenue Funds are a fund type used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue
sources that are legally restricted to expenditures for specific purposes. Special Revenue Funds
account for 17% of the citywide expenditure budget. The largest Special Revenue Fund is the
one for streets, roads, and transportation. Other funds account for storm drain management,
affordable housing programs, and park development. The Adopted Budget for Special Revenue

25
Funds for FY 2018 is $24.9 million, an increase of $7.9 million from FY 2017 Adopted Budget.
The increase is primarily due costs is capital projects.
Budgets within the Special Revenue Funds are funded by $3.7 million in restricted department
revenue, and $12.8 million transfers from the General Fund, bringing total funding sources for
the fund to $16.5 million. This will result in a projected decrease to fund balance of $8.4 million.
The Special Revenue Funds are projected to end the year with fund balances of $53.2 million.
Capital Projects Funds
The Capital Improvement Project Fund, Stevens Creek Corridor Park, and Capital Reserve are
currently in the Capital Projects Fund type category. This fund type is typically used to account
for financial resources that are used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities
or to provide facilities for City departments, and are identified in the five-year Capital
Improvement Program (CIP).
The Adopted Budget for the Capital Projects Funds for FY 2018 is $23.5 million, comprised of
$8.3 million in new capital projects and $15.2 million in transfers out to the Special Revenue and
Enterprise funds to fund capital projects in addition to a $2 million transfer to the General fund
for the CalPERS assigned reserve. The FY 2018 Adopted Budget is $8.4 million higher than FY
2017 budget expenditures based on the cost of the recommended capital projects.
Enterprise Funds
Enterprise Funds are set up for specific services that are funded directly by fees charged for
goods or services. Enterprise Funds consist of Resource Recovery for the solid waste collection
franchise, Blackberry Farm for the City-owned golf course, the Cupertino Sports Center, and
Recreation Programs for cultural, youth, teen, sports, and physical recreation programs.
The Adopted Budget for Enterprise Funds for FY 2018 is $10.6 million, an increase of $0.9
million from the FY 2017 Adopted Budget. Budgets within the Enterprise Funds are funded by
$7.5 million in program revenue and $400,000 in transfers from the General Fund. The
Enterprise Funds also rely on $2.7 million of prior year fund balance, bringing total funding
sources for the funds to $10.6 million. The Enterprise Funds are projected to begin the fiscal year
with $7.6 million in fund balance and are projected to end the year with a fund balance of $4.9
million.
Internal Service Funds
Internal Service Funds are used for areas where goods or services are provided to other City
departments or governments on a cost-reimbursement basis. Internal Service Funds include
26
funds and programs for information technology, City Channel, website, workers’
compensation, equipment, compensated absence, long-term disability, and retiree medical
insurance.
The Adopted Budget for the Internal Service Fund is $11.7 million, which is $1.2 million higher
than the FY 2017 Adopted Budget. This increase is primarily attributed to increased full time
staffing and purchase of software and equipment. Budgets within Internal Service Funds are
funded by $9.8 million in department revenue, $5 million from the General Fund, and $4.8 from
a combination of depreciation reserves and retained earnings.
Special Projects
The FY 2018 Adopted Budget includes funding for several one-time Special Projects. These
projects are identified as part of the Special Project section within each program and are
summarized in the table below. This list excludes one-time capital outlays and ongoing
pavement management costs.

CURRENT ECONOMIC UPDATE
National and State Economic Conditions
The U.S. economy is continuing to show steady growth. U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
increased by 1.6% in 2016 according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, compared with an
increase of 2.6% in 2015. The increase in real GDP in 2015 primarily reflected positive
contributions from personal consumption, residential fixed investment, local and federal
government spending, and exports that were partially offset by contractions in private
inventory investment and nonresidential fixed assets.
Unemployment is falling while jobs are being created. The U.S. unemployment rate stood at
4.5% in March 2017 representing a 0.5% percentage point drop compared to the March 2016
unemployment rate of 5.0%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The unemployment
rate has improved significantly from a high of 9.6% in 2010 and is at the full employment level.
28
Consumer confidence, as reflected by The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index, hit
the highest level since 2000 in March and now stands at 125.6 up from 116.1 last month. This
month’s spike was the result of consumers feeling greater optimism regarding the short-term
outlook for business, jobs and personal income prospects.
The California economy is inching towards
a full economic recovery. California’s
unemployment rate fell to 4.9% in March
2017, an improvement compared to last
year’s unemployment rate of 5.4%.
Personal income is forecast at 3.6% in 2017
and 3.8% in 2018 mostly due to faster
growth in wages. Growth in the housing
market continues with the prices of single
family homes up 6.8% and sales up 6.9%
compared to March of last year according to the California Association of Realtors (CAR).
However, CAR predicts a small 0.8% increase in existing home sales next year. According to the
December 2016 UCLA Anderson Business School Forecast, continued job growth, along with
wage increases, will power consumption in 2017.
Cupertino Economic Conditions
Strong economic performance continues in Silicon Valley and Cupertino. Data from the State of
California Employment Development Department paints a similar picture. Employment in the
San José/Sunnyvale/Santa Clara Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) continues to increase. The
preliminary estimate of the March 2017 employment level in the MSA was 1.0 million, virtually
unchanged from the March 2016 level. The March 2017 unemployment rate of 3.6% has
dropped since January and is lower than the 4.1% rate experienced a year ago. Our local
unemployment rate is lower than the national unemployment rate of 4.5%.
Housing prices remain strong compared to the same period in 2016. In March 2017, single
family homes sold from a median home price of $1.8 million, a 0.4% increase over the past year.
Property Tax revenue is expected to increase compared to last year given the increase in the
median home price, reassessments of development projects, and additional TEA property tax
share. Construction activity remains strong in Cupertino with Apple Campus 2 driving
development growth.
29
KEY BUDGET ASSUMPTIONS
Revenue Assumptions
The FY 2018 Adopted Budget assumes moderate economic growth. Revenue projections for
each category were based upon a careful examination of the collection history and patterns as
they relate to such factors as seasonality and performance in the economic environment that the
City is most likely to encounter in the coming year. Revenue assumptions are discussed in
detail in the Fund Summary section under Financial Policies and Schedules.
Personnel Assumptions
Negotiated salary increases are reflected in the FY 2018 Adopted Budget. The Council ratified
three-year agreements with its two bargaining units in October 2016, including a 5.75% net
salary increase and 10% increase in health benefits over the next three years. The City also
conducted a comprehensive classification study resulting in the reclassification of 12 staff,
which are also reflected in the budget.
In addition, budgeted personnel expenditures factor in salary step increases for approximately
43% of employees who have yet to reach the top step in their classification’s salary range.
Typically, a step increase is equivalent to a five percent increase in salary with a range of five
salary steps.
Non-Personnel Assumptions
Non-Personnel budgets were developed based on actual expenditures in prior years, and then
adjusted for FY 2018 funding needs. In addition, one-time projects have been separated out in
FY 2018 to ensure that expenditure trends reflect ongoing expenditure needs. Contingency
budgets are being reduced from 10% to 8% of the total General Fund budget for contractual
services and supplies and materials for operating programs. Consistent with past budgets, an
additional 5% is allocated to the City Manager’s discretionary budget to cover unanticipated
program expenses.
ONGOING CHALLENGES
Revenue Volatility
The City’s revenue mix is heavily reliant on volatile business-to-business sales tax, which makes
up approximately 29% of the City’s annual General Fund revenues. Business-to-business sales
taxes are very sensitive to economic fluctuations as evidenced by Cupertino’s experience during
the dotcom bust from 2000-2004. Our heavy reliance on the volatile high tech industry also
makes us vulnerable. The loss of one of our top three sales tax producers in FY 2013-14 only
30
made the City more reliant on a single tax producer, making us more vulnerable to its business
volatility.
Health Benefits
There is uncertainty around potential repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act (ACA)
and how it would affect health care costs. Rate increases have stabilized with the
implementation of the ACA.
Retirement Benefits
Significant investment losses experienced by CalPERS during the great recession resulted in the
overall funded status of the retirement system dropping to 60% for public agencies. The funded
status is currently estimated at 69%, down from 73% last year due to lower than expected
investment returns. The desired goal is 100% funded status, where assets on hand are equal to
the desired level of assets needed to pay pension benefits.
The CalPERS Board adopted revised actuarial policies that aim to return the system to 100%
funded level within 30 years. The new method includes changing the asset smoothing period
from 15 years to 5 years and paying gains and losses over a fixed 30 year period with a 5-year
ramp up at the beginning of the 30-year period and a 5-year ramp down at the end. In
December 2016, CalPERS informed agencies that it would be reducing the discount rate of
return for investments by 0.5%. The result of this change is significant and will result in
considerable increases in retirement well above what the City had previously forecasted for
retirement expenses as noted in the table below. The FY 2018 Adopted Budget includes these
additional expenses and proposes an increase to the City’s CalPERS Reserve from $500,000 to
$4.8 million to help stabilize the budget through this ramp-up period:
The City’s current unfunded accrued liability is $78 million according the most recent actuarial
report issued by CalPERS in August of 2016.

History
Cupertino owes its name and earliest mention in recorded history to the 1776 expedition led by
the Spanish explorer Captain Juan Bautista de Anza. Starting in Sonora, Mexico, Anza led a
group up the coast of California, aiming to establish a presidio (fort) on San Francisco Bay.
In late March, Anza left the majority of his party of men, women, and
children in Monterey to rest and pressed on through the Santa Clara Valley
to his San Francisco destination with 18 men and Pedro Font, a diarist,
cartographer, and Franciscan priest.
With the expedition encamped in what is now Cupertino, Font christened
the creek next to the encampment the Arroyo San Joseph Cupertino in honor of his patron, San
Guiseppe (San Joseph) of Copertino, Italy. The arroyo is now known as Stevens Creek.
The village of Cupertino sprang up at the crossroads of Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road (now DeAnza
Boulevard) and Stevens Creek Boulevard. It was first known as
West Side, but by 1898, the post office at the Crossroads needed a
more unique name. John T. Doyle, a San Francisco lawyer and
historian, had given the name Cupertino to his winery in
recognition of the name bestowed on the nearby creek – likewise,
in 1904, the same name was applied to the Crossroads and to the
post office as the Home Union Store in the northeast corner of the
Crossroads changed its name to The Cupertino Store.
Although Cupertino’s pioneer settlers planted grapes in the late 1800s, many switched to
keeping orchards when phylloxera, a root louse, struck the thriving wine industry in 1895. As
the orchards flourished, the valley became known for the spring profusion of blossoms.
In the late 1940’s Cupertino was swept up in Santa Clara Valley’s postwar population explosion.
Concerned by unplanned development, higher taxes, and piecemeal annexation to adjacent
cities, Cupertino’s community leaders began a drive for incorporation in 1954. The
incorporation was approved in the September 27, 1955 election, and Cupertino officially became
Santa Clara County’s 13th City on October 10, 1955.
A major milestone in Cupertino’s development was the creation of Vallco Business and
Industrial Park by some of the city’s largest landowners in the early 1960’s. Of the 25 property
owners, 17 decided to pool their land to form Vallco Park and six sold their land to Varian
Associates, a thriving young electronics firm founded by Russell Varian. The name Vallco was
derived from the names of the principal developers: Varian Associates and the Leonard, Lester,
Craft, and Orlando families.

Financial
Policies
and Schedules
THE ANNUAL BUDGET PROCESS
The City’s annual budget is prepared on a July 1 to June 30 fiscal year basis. The budget process
is an ongoing process that includes the phases of development, proposal, adoption, monitoring
and budget amendments.
The budget development phase begins in December with the preparation of budget instructions
and work program development by the City Council and City Manager. During March,
departments prepare the budgets for which they are responsible. These proposed department
budgets are reviewed by the Finance Division using current and prior year trends data. The
City Manager then reviews the proposals with the Director of Administrative Services and
departmental staff and makes final decisions which form the basis of the City Managers
Proposed Budget. The proposed budget is then submitted to the City Council in May.
During the months of May and June, the City Council considers the budget proposals at a study
session and public hearing. At these times, the Council hears from Boards, Commissions,
community groups, and the public regarding budget requests and recommendations. The final
budget is adopted by resolution in June and takes effect on July 1.
Budget Amendment Process
After the budget is adopted, the City enters the budget monitoring phase. Throughout the year,
expenditures are monitored by the Finance Division staff and department managers to ensure
that funds are used in an approved manner. Adjustments to expenditures within or between
departmental budgets are accomplished on an as-needed basis administratively throughout the
year. The City Manager and Department Heads can transfer funds between their line items
and/or divisions as needed.
City Council approval is required for additional appropriations from fund balances or for new
revenue sources.
55
STRUCTURE OF CITY FINANCES
COST ACCOUNTING
The City of Cupertino has six internal service funds that account for innovation & technology,
city channel and website, equipment replacement, workers compensation, long-term disability
and compensated absence, and retiree health costs experienced by City departments. Fund
costs are allocated to user departments or operating funds based on salaries, equipment and
software purchase price, actuarial studies and actual and projected service level. Please view
the Cost Allocation Plan and Changes to the Internal Service Fund section of this document for
details.
Other employee fringe benefits such as medical, dental, life insurance, and pensions are directly
added to department costs as a percentage of salaries. Staff salary and benefit costs are split
among departments and related funds based on the anticipated percentage of time spent
working in various departments.
OVERHEAD COST ALLOCATION
All overhead costs are allocated to the appropriate program within the limits of local, State and
federal laws. The City will utilize a two-step method (double step down method) where costs
are first allocated among the central service department support programs to arrive at the total
costs of central service programs. Beginning in FY 2014 overhead/indirect costs associated with
service department in the General Fund will be allocated based on Cost Allocation Plan (CAP).
These total costs are then allocated to the departments and funds that are benefiting from these
expenses. The corresponding revenue is collected by the General Fund for indirect/overhead
costs associated with Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) and Internal Service Funds and allocated
directly to the department providing the service.
BASIS OF BUDGETING
Basis of Budgeting refers to the method used to recognize revenues and expenditures in the
budget. For the City of Cupertino, the basis of budgeting is the same basis used for accounting.
The modified accrual basis is followed in the Governmental Funds, including the General,
Capital, Debt Service, and Special Revenue funds. Under this basis, revenues are recognized
when they become “susceptible to accrual”, which means they are both measureable and
available. Measurable means the transaction can be determined.
56
The budget is split into nine divisions: City Council and Commissions, Administration, Law
Enforcement, Innovation & Technology, Administrative Services, Parks and Recreation,
Planning and Community Development, Public Works and Non Departmental (includes budget
that are not attributable to any specific division). These divisions are further split into
department then programs. The programs within the divisions are balanced at the department
level within a given fund.
COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT (CAFR)
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) is prepared by Maze and Associates
according to “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (GAAP).
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
Every two years the City of Cupertino has a Community Survey completed by Godbe Research
to measure resident’s satisfaction with living in the City, City Services and to identify issues
facing the City. In addition, the budget study session and budget hearings are public meetings
where citizen are given the opportunity to comment on the budget. The public can also provide
feedback to two Council sub-committees, the Fiscal Strategic Planning and Audit Committees.
57
FUND STRUCTURE
For accounting purposes, a state or local government is not treated as a single, integral entity.
Rather, a government is viewed as a collection of smaller separate businesses known as ‘funds’.
Fund accounting is an accounting system emphasizing accountability rather than profitability.
In this system, a fund is a self-balancing set of accounts, segregated for specific purposes in
accordance with laws and regulations or special restrictions and limitations.
The City’s finances are structured in a variety of funds that are the basic accounting and
reporting entities in governmental accounting. The funds that comprise the FY 2017-18 budget
are grouped into two major categories, Governmental Funds and Proprietary Funds. The
purpose of each of the various funds within these two categories is described below:
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
Governmental Funds are those through which most governmental functions of the City are
financed. The acquisition, use, and balances of the City’s expendable financial resources and
the related liabilities (except those accounted for in the proprietary funds) are accounted for
through governmental funds. Governmental funds include Tax Supported Funds, Special
Revenue Funds and Federal Grant Funds. They are accounted for under the modified accrual
basis of accounting.
Tax Supported Funds
Tax Supported Funds include the General and Capital Improvement Funds. The General Fund
is the primary operating fund for governmental services. The Capital Improvements Fund is
utilized for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities.
Tax Supported Funds Purpose
General The General Fund is used to pay for core services such as public
safety, parks and recreation, planning and community
development, public works, and a host of other vital services. The
revenue used to pay for these services comes primarily from local
taxes such as property tax and sales tax, franchise fees, charges for
services, and a variety of other discretionary sources.

FISCAL POLICES –Revenue Policies
PURPOSE
To establish revenue polices that assist the City in striving for and maintaining a diversified and
stable revenue system to prevent undue or unbalanced reliance on any one source of funds.
This revenue diversity will shelter the City from short-run fluctuations in any one revenue
source.
SCOPE
All revenue sources across all funds.
POLICY
To the extent possible, maximize investment yield while maintaining a high level of liquidity
for the City’s anticipated capital costs.
Identify and recommend sources of revenue necessary to maintain the services desired by the
community and to maintain the City's quality of life.
Perform ongoing evaluations of existing sources of revenue to maximize the City's revenue
base.
Recover costs of special services through user fees.
Pursue full cost recovery and reduce the General Fund fee subsidy to the degree feasible.
Allocate all internal service and Cost Allocation Plan charges to appropriate user departments
and
Ensure that Enterprise activities remain self-supporting in the long term.
62
FISCAL POLICES – Expenditure Policies
PURPOSE
To establish expenditure control polices through the appropriate internal controls and
procedures. Management must ensure expenditures comply with the legally adopted or
amended budget.
SCOPE
All expenditure categories across all funds.
POLICY
Each Department or Division Manager will be responsible for the administration of their
department/division budget. This includes accomplishing the goals and objectives incorporated
into the budget and monitoring each department/division budget for compliance with spending
limits.
Accurately charge expenditures to the appropriate chart of accounts;
Maintain operating activities at levels which are offset by revenues;
The City will make every effort to control expenditures to ensure City services and programs
provided to its citizens and tax payers are cost effective and efficient;
Evaluate expenditures at the department and project levels to ensure control;
Before the City purchases any major asset or undertakes any operating or capital arrangements
that create fixed assets or ongoing operational expenses, the implications of such purchases or
arrangements will be fully determined for current and future years;
All compensation planning and collective bargaining will include analysis of total cost of
compensation which includes analysis of salary increases, health benefits, pension
contributions, fringe benefits and other personnel costs. The City will only propose operating
personnel costs which can be sustained by on-going operating revenues;
Reduce costs and improve productivity through the use of efficiency and effective measures
and
Structure debt financing to provide the necessary capital while minimizing future debt service
costs.
63
FISCAL POLICES – Capital Improvement Policy
PURPOSE
To establish a Capital Improvement Policy to assist in future planning.
SCOPE
All anticipated Capital Improvement Projects for the current fiscal year plus four additional
fiscal years.
POLICY
The City will prepare and update a five year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) encompassing all
City facilities
Projects included in the CIP will have complete information on the need for the project (project
justification), description and scope of work, total cost estimates, future cost estimates, future
operating and maintenance costs and how the project will be funded.
An objective process for evaluating CIP projects with respect to the overall needs of the City
will be established through a priority ranking of CIP projects. The ranking of projects will be
used to allocate resources to ensure priority projects are completed effectively and efficiently.
Changes to the CIP such as addition of new projects, changes in scope and costs of a project
or reprioritization of projects will require City Manager and City Council approval.
The City will maintain its physical assets at a level adequate to protect the City’s capital
investment and to minimize future operating maintenance and replacement costs. The City
recognizes that deferred maintenance increases future capital costs, thus placing a burden on
future residents. Therefore, the budget will provide for adequate maintenance and the orderly
replacement of capital plant and equipment from current revenues when possible.
The City will determine the least costly funding method for its capital projects and will obtain
grants, contributions and low cost state or federal loans whenever possible.
The City will utilize “pay-as-you-go” funding for capital improvement expenditures considered
recurring, operating or maintenance in nature. The City may also utilize “pay-as-you-go”
funding for capital improvements when current revenues and adequate fund balances are
available or when issuing debt would adversely affect the City’s credit rating.
64
The City will consider the use of debt financing for capital projects under the following
circumstances:
• When the project’s useful life will exceed the terms of the financing
• When resources are deemed sufficient and reliable to service the long-term debt
• When market conditions present favorable interest rates for City financing
• When the issuance of debt will not adversely affect the City’s credit rating and debt
coverage ratios.

DEBT LIMIT
GANN APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT
Fiscal Year 2017-18
Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution as enacted by Proposition 4, the Gann initiative
of 1979, mandates a limit on the amount of proceeds of taxes that state and local governments
can receive and appropriate (authorize to spend) each year. The purpose of this law is to limit
government spending by putting a cap on the total proceeds of taxes that may be appropriated
each year. The original Article XIIIB was further modified by Proposition 111 and SB 88
approved by California voters in June of 1990. Proposition 111 allows cities more flexibility in
choosing certain inflation and population factors to calculate the limit.
Appropriations Subject to Limit
The limit is different for each agency and the limit changes each year. Each year’s limit is based
on the amount of tax proceeds that were authorized to be spent in fiscal year 1978-79 in each
agency, modified for changes in inflation and population in each subsequent year. Proposition
111 has modified those factors to allow cities to choose either the growth in California Per
Capita Income or the growth in non-residential assessed valuation due to new construction in

the city. Alternatively, the city could select a population growth factor represented by the
population growth in Santa Clara County. Each year the city establishes its appropriations
limit for the following fiscal year.
The City’s appropriations limit for FY 2018 is $96,028,488, $4,161,474, or 4.5% higher than the FY
2017 limit of $91,867,014. For FY 2018, the City’s estimated appropriations of proceeds from
taxes, less statutory exclusions, are unchanged as of the Final Budget. If a city exceeds the legal
limit, excess tax revenue must be returned to the State or citizens through a process of refunds,
rebates, or other means that may be determined at that time. The appropriations limit is not
expected to present a constraint on current or future budget deliberations.
73
Information Technology Replacement and Capitalization Policy
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to establish guidelines for replacing and capitalizing technology
equipment and systems. Replacement is indicated when a product has run its useful life and
updating/upgrading is no longer an option. Capitalization of equipment requires the set aside
of funding for future replacement.
Generally, technology equipment with a life expectancy of at least 5 years and a total cost of
over $5,000 shall be capitalized. Software with an expected life of at least 7 years or a cost of
over $10,000 shall also be capitalized.
Technology upgrades are determined by the Information Technology Division (IT) and user
departments based on functionality, vendor support, and industry standards.
Scope
This policy covers the City of Cupertino: network infrastructure (routers, switches, firewalls,
security appliances); server infrastructure (files servers, database servers, mail servers, web
servers, etc); user laptops and workstations; mission-critical systems, telephone system
(telephone equipment not already listed previously); desktop software; enterprise software;
workgroup software; and broadcast video and audiovisual equipment.
Cell phones, printers, and tablet devices are not covered by this policy as these items do not
meet the minimum criteria for capitalization. Replacement of these items are at the discretion of
the department.
Policy
All technology shall be replaced according to the following:
Network infrastructure (routers, switches, firewalls) shall be replaced when no longer
functional, as determined by the Information Services Division (IS), or when parts or support
are no longer available from the manufacturer. Replacement needs will be determined by IS
annually as part of the operating budget process. Network infrastructure with a life expectancy
of at least 5 years and a total cost of over $5,000 shall be capitalized.
Server infrastructure shall be replaced when it is no longer functional (defined as not being
able to meet its intended purpose), or when parts or support are no longer available from the
manufacturer. These needs are evaluated annually by IT and user departments as part of the
operating budget process. Servers are evaluated as they approach 3 years in service, and placed
74
on the schedule accordingly. Server lifetime may be extended by the purchase of additional
memory or disk. Server infrastructure with a life expectancy of at least 5 years and a total cost of
over $5,000 shall be capitalized.
User workstations shall be replaced, on average, after 4 years as is industry standard. Zero
Client work stations shall be replaced, on average, every 8 years. IS will determine the need for
specific replacements. User workstations shall not be capitalized as they do not meet the
minimum criteria for capitalization.
Interoperable systems are defined as a group of interdependent and/or interoperable
components that together form a single functional unit. These components may be
interconnected by their structural relationships, their common functional behavior, or by both.
Generally, for a system to be eligible for capitalization, the cumulative value of its components
should be at least $5,000 and have a life expectancy of five years or more.
Telephone system components (desktop and user equipment) is either repaired or replaced
when determined no longer functional; telephone servers may be leased over 5 years and
replaced at those times; the replacement period may exceed 5 years if the products are
supported by vendors and parts are readily available. Telephone system components shall not
be capitalized as they do not meet the minimum criteria for capitalization. Telephone system
software is maintained under agreement with vendors and kept within 2 major versions to
ensure functionality and vendor support.
Enterprise Software replacement shall be determined individually by IS and the end users.
Only those large enterprise systems with an expected life of at least 7 years or a cost of over
$10,000 shall be capitalized.
Desktop Software is replaced/updated according to Microsoft’s releases of Windows and
Office. Software shall not be more than one version out of date to ensure functionality and
vendor support. I&T will generally wait at least 90 days after a new release to roll out new
versions. Only software with an expected life of at least 7 years or a cost of over $10,000 shall be
capitalized. Desktop software generally does not meet this criterion.
Broadcast Video and Audiovisual Equipment/Systems shall be repaired or replaced when
determined no longer functional. Replaced will occur on average after 10 years. Broadcast video
and audiovisual equipment/systems with a life expectancy of at least 5 years and a total cost of
over $5,000 shall be capitalized. Equipment that does not meet these criteria may still be
capitalized if the item is a component of interoperable systems.

COMMUNITY FUNDING POLICY
Purpose
The City of Cupertino currently provides funding to local non-profit organizations in the areas
of social services, fine arts and other programs for the general public. This policy establishes a
standard application process whereby funding decisions of non-profit requests can be
addressed on a fair and consistent basis by establishing a set of criteria for evaluating requests,
ensuring that all entities follow a formal application process and pre-approving a dollar limit
for those requests.
Scope
All requests for funding must comply with this policy.
Policy
The applicant should identify the services provided, purpose for the funds, how the
expenditure aligns to City priorities and how the funds will be used to benefit the Cupertino
community.
A recurring organization should state how prior year funds, if any, were used.
The applicant should include information about the organization, its budget and its purpose.
Non-profit organizations which serve multi-jurisdictions should state what they have
requested from other cities/organizations they service in regards to this program request.
Cupertino does not fund ongoing operational costs. Requests should be for one-time, project
specific needs.
The organization must show that their staff has the experience to implement and manage the
project. More than 75% of the budget must go to direct service costs versus administrative
costs.
Staff should include all requests and funding recommendations for Council consideration.
Staff report will reference City rules and regulations.
Non-profits will be notified of our process in advance and no proposals will be entertained
after March 1 of each year.
City Council will make the final decision as part of the budget process

GENERAL FUND SUMMARY
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for basic services such as
public safety, public works, planning and development, park maintenance, code enforcement,
and the administrative services required to support them. The fund also accounts for the City’s
discretionary funding sources (e.g., property tax, sales tax, transient occupancy tax and utility
tax). As a rule, general fund resources are used only to fund operations that do not have other
dedicated (restricted) funding sources. Operations that rely heavily upon non-general fund
resources, such as street maintenance, solid waste collection, and recreation are accounted for in
other funds. Information on these funds may be found in the Other Funds section of this
document.
For FY 2017-18, final General Fund revenue estimates (excluding fund balance) total $80 million,
representing a 1% increase from the FY 2016-17 adopted budget, mostly due to transfer in of $2
million back to the General Fund from the Capital Reserve to assist in funding the CalPERs
assigned reserve. When fund balance carryover is included, General Fund resources total $45.6
million, which is 38% above FY 2016-17 adopted budget. Final General Fund expenditure
estimates total $75 million, representing a 3% decrease from FY 2016-17 projections, mostly due
to decreases in costs allocation of due to a change in methodology as described in the budget
message. The General Fund’s ending fund balance is projected to increase by 1% from FY 2016-
17 adopted budget. This is due to a strong revenue forecast that exceeds budgeted expenditures
in FY 2017-18.
This section provides information on the FY 2017-18 General Fund budget including,
expenditure and revenue highlights, transfers to other funds, reserve funds and the financial
forecast.

General Fund Revenue
Estimates for the FY 2017-18 beginning fund balance and for the individual General Fund
revenue accounts are based upon a careful examination of the collection history and patterns as
they relate to such factors as seasonality and performance in the economic environment that the
City is most likely to encounter in the coming year. FY 2017-18 revenue estimates are based on
the anticipated increase or decrease in activity and receipts over the current year. Each source
of revenue can be influenced by external (outside of the City’s control) and/or internal factors.
The FY 2017-18 revenue estimates are built on the assumption that the economic recovery
continues to positively impact on the City’s tax revenues, while uncertainty surrounding
development activities will reduce development-related fees and charges.
As shown in the chart below, FY 2017-18 revenues are estimated at $80 million, a 1.3% increase
above the FY 2016-17 Adopted Budget.
*FY17-18 Adopted to FY 16-17 Adopted
Approximately 54% of Cupertino’s General Fund operating revenues are generated by sales and
property taxes followed by charges for service and the transient occupancy tax. The chart on
the next page illustrates the sources of General Fund revenue by category.

GENERAL FUND REVENUE SUMMARY
85
The FY 2017-18 General Fund revenue estimates are discussed by category in the material that
follows.
Sales tax is an excise tax imposed on retailers for
the privilege of selling tangible personal property.
The Use Tax is an excise tax imposed on a person
for the storage use, or other consumption of
tangible personal property purchased from any
retailer. The proceeds of sales and use taxes
imposed within the boundaries of Cupertino are
distributed by the State to various agencies, with
the City of Cupertino receiving one percent, as
shown in the chart to the right.

Revenue (in millions)Sales Tax Collection Historical Trend
The City’s sales tax revenues are generated from five principal economic categories: business-
to-business 67.0% (includes electronic equipment and software manufacturers and distributors),
construction 13.2%, general retail 8.2%, food products 8.2%, and transportation 3.0%.
Our two largest sales tax payers in the business-to-business category represent a large part of
that sector and therefore can significantly affect sales tax trends. The top tax payer’s corporate
growth and increased business technology spending has driven growth in this sector. Sales tax
activity has increased across all sectors, particularly business-to-business and construction.
Given this trend, the City’s FY 2016-17 sales tax revenue is expected to increase modestly.
Sales and Use Tax receipts increased
9.9% in FY 2014-15 and took a slight dip
of 1.8% in FY 2015-16. This chart
reflects the FY 2016-17 actuals are
expected to increase by 21.5% this
increase is due to a onetime $3.5 mil
payment related to the close out of the
triple flip. Sales Tax revenues are
estimated to generate $22.8 million in
FY 2017-18, which is down 12.1% from
the FY 2016-17 estimate due to the close
out of the triple flip.

Under current law, property is assessed at actual full cash value with the maximum levy being
1% of the assessed valuation. The assessed value of real property that has not changed
ownership can be adjusted by the change in the California Consumer Price Index (CCPI) up to a
maximum of 2% per year. Property which changes ownership, property which is substantially
altered, newly-constructed property, State-assessed property, and personal property are
assessed at the full market value in the first year and subject to the two percent cap, thereafter.
In 1978, voters approved the passage of Proposition 13, which froze property tax rates and
limited the amount that rates could increase each year. Cupertino had one of the lowest
property tax rates in Santa Clara County receiving $.02 for every $1.00 paid. Subsequent

legislation required Counties to provide “no/low tax” cities with a Tax Equity Allocation (TEA)
equal to 7% of the property tax share, however, the property tax distribution for the no/low tax
cities in Santa Clara County was limited to 55% of what other TEA cities in the state received.
In FY 2006-07 West Valley cities won
the passage of State legislation which
restored a portion of TEA property tax
revenue. This TEA change provided an
additional $1.35 million in property tax
annually and increased the City’s share
of property taxes to 5.6%. Cupertino, in
conjunction with three other West
Valley cities, continued its legislative
efforts to gain parity with other no/low
property tax cities in the state. In FY
2015-16, Governor Brown agreed to
restore TEA revenues over a five-year
period. As shown in the graph above, Cupertino will keep 6.44% of property tax revenues
compared to 6.16% in FY 2016-17. TEA will be fully restored to 7% by FY 19-2020 as shown in
the following chart.

Property Tax receipts increased 15.2% in FY 2015-16. Similar gains are anticipated in FY 2016-17
due in part to the restoration of TEA funds and the changes in valuation for Apple Campus 2.
Property Tax revenues are estimated to generate $20.8 million in FY 2017-18, which is up 10.8%
from the FY 2016-17 Budget.

MillionsTransient Occupancy Tax Historical Trend Transient occupancy taxes (TOT) are
levied on five hotels located in the City
at the rate of 12% of room revenues. In
November 2011, 83% of voters
approved increasing the rate from 10%
to 12%. This rate increase contributed
to the upwards trend shown in the
TOT Tax Historical Trend graph to the
right. In addition, the new Hyatt
House, which due to open in
September 2018, should increase
ongoing TOT collections significantly.

The utility user tax (UUT), approved by
voters in 1990, is assessed on gas,
electricity and telecommunication service
provided within the City’s jurisdiction at a
rate of 2.4% of billed charges. Revenues
generated from this tax can be used for
general City purposes.
The City’s tax rate is generally lower than that of other cities within Santa Clara County, as
shown in the chart above. In March 2002, voters approved extending the utility tax’s sunset
date from 2015 to 2030. This extension corresponded with the extended debt maturity date
resulting from the refinancing of debt for capital improvement projects. To maintain tax
revenues currently received from telecom services, voters passed a measure in 2009 to update
the ordinance to the changing technology in this area.

In FY 2015-16, UUT revenues increased by 17.8% compared to FY 2014-15, primarily due to the
settlement payout that was taken from
UUT receipts. UUT revenues are
anticipated to make a slight increase in
FY 2017-18 with an 4.1% increase.
Further decreases are not anticipated for
UUT and budgeted revenues will
remain at $3.2 million for FY 2017-18
and beyond. This revenue source will
be monitored closely as the fiscal year
progresses.

Franchise fees are received from cable,

franchisees that operate in the City. The
fees range from 1% to 12% of the
franchisee’s gross revenues depending
on each particular agreement. As shown
in the graph below, these revenues are
relatively steady and not sensitive to
economic fluctuations.
Franchise fee revenues increased by 22%
in FY 2015-16 from the previous year and
but are expected to decline in FY 2016-17.
Budgeted revenues are expected to
remain at approximately $3 million for FY 2017-18. This revenue source will be monitored
closely as the fiscal year progresses.

Other taxes are comprised mainly of business license taxes, construction taxes, and property
transfer taxes. As shown in the graph, business license taxes are relatively steady while
construction and property transfer taxes are extremely volatile and sensitive to economic
fluctuations.
With the influx of several major construction projects beginning in 2012, revenues began
increasing. The largest of the projects included the Apple Campus 2 and Main Street
developments. These projects coupled with a strong housing recovery created a record year for
revenues in FY 2013-14. These revenues have since returned to historic levels. In FY 2017-18
revenues are expected to be at $2.9 million.

MillionsCharges for Services Historical Trend
This category accounts for charges to users of City services funded by the General Fund as well
as internal City-wide overhead. The City attempts to recover the cost of the services, including
planning, zoning, and engineering permit processing for new property development as well as
some recreation-related fees. As such, this revenue source is sensitive to economic fluctuations,
as shown in the graph below. The Apple Campus 2 generated large one-time revenues in FY
2013-14 and is expected to continue bringing in healthy revenue in FY 2016-17 though not to the
same levels as previously seen.
Large development projects attributed to a spike in revenues in this category in FY 2013-14. In
addition, beginning in FY 2013-14, enterprise funds, internal service funds, and special funds
began charging for overhead services previously subsidized by the General Fund. Some internal
strategic support services (HR, Finance, City Clerk, etc.) also began charging internal
departments for their services to accurately capture the true cost of providing various programs
and services within City operations. After a comprehensive cost allocation plan (CAP) was
approved by Council in April 2016, new CAP charges are included to capture internal strategic
support services that were previously excluded (City Council, Facilities, Maintenance, etc.). In
FY 2015-16, the City’s administration changed its methodology for tracking developer deposits
driven by increased developer activity and, as a result, both budgets for revenues and expenses
were increased by anticipated deposit amounts leading to another large increase in revenue.
For FY 2017-18, Charges for
Services will decrease to $13.3
million due largely to the
removal of charges from
strategic support that were
added in the prior year. In
addition, revised fees approved
by Council in June will go into
effect beginning in August FY
17-18 and will result in increased
revenue estimates.

Licenses and permits include fees for reviewing building plans, building inspections,
construction, tenant improvements, and commercial/residential installations for compliance
with state and municipal building codes.
Past referendums limited the height and density of new construction and building of
condominium housing. Some residential developers hesitated to invest in Cupertino for fear
that their project will not be approved or will be reversed by voter referendum. However, this
trend began to reverse in FY 2011-12 with the economic recovery.
The Apple Campus 2 project and large
residential projects (Rosebowl, Biltmore
expansion, Main Street) generated
significant permitting revenues in FY
2013-14. Since then, activity has slowed.
FY 2015-16 revenues are tracking lower
than projected by $3.2 million as no new
large development projects have been
approved as previously anticipated.
Revenue is anticipated to remain flat in
FY 2017-18 as development activity
continues to slow.

investment, current interest rates, and composition of investments. The City’s investment
policy requires investments to be made in this order of priority: safety, liquidity, and yield. The
unprecedented turmoil in the financial markets and state cash flow problems necessitated a
weighting of the portfolio toward safety and lower average yields. In March 2017, the Federal
Reserve raised short-term interest rates by a quarter percentage point to a range of 0.75% to 1%.
Two more increases are forecasted for 2017, followed by three more in 2018.
Investment earnings are expected to remain low as the Federal Reserve remains cautious with
interest rates. Economists predicted interest rates would increase in FY 2017-18 when the
unemployment rate was projected to fall below 6.5%. The unemployment rate did fall below
that threshold but the Federal Reserve did not increase key rates until December 2015 from
range of 0%-0.25% to a range of 0.25%-0.5%. Lackluster GDP growth will likely keep rates low.
Revenue in this category is estimated to increase slightly in FY 2016-17 as General Fund
reserves stabilize and interest rates cautiously ease up.

smoothing out significant increases due to the reduction in the discount rate.

General Fund Expenditures
Estimates for the FY 2017-18 General Fund expenditures are based upon anticipated personnel
and non-personnel cost increases. This year department budgets reflect actual projected costs
based on the 2016-17 Final Adopted Budget, removing any one time costs, and accounting for
changes in personnel costs and any other anticipated/known increased costs in FY 2017-18. In
addition, most budgets were given additional funds for any unexpected expenditures that is
accounted for in the contingency account. Lastly, per the City’s Reserve policy and unassigned
General Fund balance above the $500,000 maximum balance will be transferred to the Capital
Fund for future capital and infrastructure projects, however this transfer will now be completed
as part of the year end close and not in the budget. As shown in the chart below, FY 2017-18
expenditures are estimated at $75 million, a 3% decrease below the final budget. This decrease is
primarily attributed to changes in charges for services due to decreased information systems
costs and changes to the City’s Cost Allocation Plan (CAP).
The largest General Fund operating expenditure categories include personnel costs (32%),
contract services (24%) and Transfers Out (21%) as illustrated in the FY 2017-18 General Fund
Expenditures by Category chart on the next page.

GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURE SUMMARY

Personnel Costs
Personnel cost total $24.3 million in FY 2017-18, comprising 32% of General Fund expenditures.
These costs are made up of salaries and compensation for benefitted and part time staff (70%),
retirement benefits (17%), and other fringe benefits (13%), including health coverage.
Costs were calculated by taking an extract of payroll system information. This individual
position-level information was then reviewed, corrected, and updated by each department to
include current vacancies and filled positions, accurate salary step status, as well as any
position reallocations. Also, all categories of benefit costs in the coming year were projected.
The most recent retirement plan and health plan information for each position was also updated
from the payroll system. Not included in personnel costs, is the ongoing contribution for retiree
healthcare which is included in the transfers category. Costs in salary and benefits are up due
primarily to reclassification that occurred as part of the citywide classification study and
negotiated increases of 3.5% that are effective at the beginning of the fiscal year, both of which
were approved by Council in October 2016. Also as part of labor negotiations the City
significantly increased its contribution toward healthcare up from approximately 50-60% to 85%
of plan costs as a fixed number. The current fiscal year builds on that increase, providing a 5%
escalator over FY 2016-17.
Life and Long-Term disability rates are projected to remain flat in FY 2017-18. In addition as
part of negotiation the City agreed to add short term disability benefits for employees not
currently covered under the State’s plan this resulted in a slight increase this fiscal year. Lastly
retirement rates are projected to increase a net 2%. The change to the PERS discount rate will be

Non-Personnel
Non-personnel cost total $35 million in FY 2017-18, comprising 47% of General Fund
expenditures. These costs are made up of contractual services (24%), cost allocation charges
(10%), materials (6%), capital outlays and special projects (4%) and program contingencies (2%).
Costs were developed based on FY 2016-17 Adopted budget and actual expenditures in prior
99
years, and then adjusted for FY 2017-18 funding needs. One-time projects were moved to a
separate category in FY 13-14 to ensure that expenditure trends reflect ongoing expenditure
needs. In the current year a concerted effort was made to differentiate costs related to special
projects and capital outlays that are required to be depreciated. A new special projects series
was created in contracts section of accounts for any new special projects going forward.
Contingencies totaling 2% of the total General Fund and 5% of Material and Contract budgets
has been established. This contingency level is within the recommended range by the
Government Finance Officers Association. Contingencies have allocated proportionately
amongst operating programs based on each program’s share of General Fund budget for
contractual services and supplies and materials. The remaining is allocated to the City
Manager’s Discretionary Program. Program contingency budgets may be used to cover
unanticipated program expenses at the department’s discretion, while the use of the City
Manager’s Discretionary Program will require City Manager approval. The 5% is consistent
with best practices adopted by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) which
recommends a 5-15% contingency.

GENERAL FUND—RESERVES AND
CLASSIFICATION OF FUND BALANCE
The Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54 establishes five
categories for the classification of fund balance: Non-spendable, Restricted, Committed,
Assigned and Unassigned.
Although only the General Fund is addressed in this section, Statement No. 54 applies to the
Special Revenue and Capital Project funds as well.
Non-spendable fund balance includes amounts that are not in a spendable form or are legally
or contractually required to be maintained intact. Loans receivable or prepaid expenses
comprise this category in the City.
Restricted fund balance includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes
stipulated by constitution, external parties (such as creditors, grant providers or contributors) or
through enabling legislation. Franchise fees collected for public, educational, and governmental
access purposes comprise this classification.
Committed fund balance includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes
determined by a formal action of the government’s highest level of decision -making authority,
such as the City Council. Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the government
taking the same formal action that imposed the constraint originally. The City has no fund
balance in this category.
Assigned fund balance is comprised of amounts intended to be used by the government for
specific purposes that are neither restricted nor committed. Intent can be expressed by the
governing body or by an official body to which the governing body delegates the authority.
Reserves discussed in the Reserve and Use of One Time Funds Policy are assigned to this
classification. General Fund assigned reserves at June 30, 2013 are projected to be at policy
levels.
Unassigned fund balance is the classification for the General Fund and includes all amounts not
contained in the other classifications. Unassigned amounts are technically available for any
purpose.

Five-Year General Fund Forecast
The financial forecast is a planning tool that helps staff identify important trends and anticipate
the longer term consequences of budget decisions. The forecast tools can be been instrumental
in modeling the effects of such recent issues as rising retirement system costs, increases in
employee compensation, and potential scenarios of future revenue performance.
The forecast is not a plan but a model based on cost and revenue assumptions that are updated
regularly as new information becomes available. Of these components, future costs projections
based on known costs, are relatively reliable. Revenue forecasts, on the other hand, are based
on assumptions related to future economic conditions, which are fraught with uncertainty.
Economic forecasts in the financial markets and the media swing from optimistic to pessimistic
on a seemingly daily basis and demonstrate the difficulties of committing to a particular
prediction of the future. For this reason the forecast should be updated regularly.
A discussion of both the national and local economic outlooks used to develop the revenue
estimates for the 2017-18 Forecast is discussed below. Key economic forecasts were reviewed in
the development of the revenue estimates, including the national, State and regional economic
forecasts produced by the Congressional Budget Office, California’s Legislative Analyst’s Office
(LAO), and economist Steven Levy of the Center for Continuing Study of the California
Economy (CCSCE). The City also uses a sales tax consultant to assist in the development of sales
tax revenue estimates.
While economic conditions are the primary drivers for economically sensitive revenues like the
sales tax and property tax categories, performance is primarily driven by other factors for non-
economically sensitive categories such as the utility user tax and franchise fee categories. These
revenue categories are more heavily impacted by rate changes, energy prices, and consumption
levels. Collections from local, State, and federal agencies are primarily driven by the grant and
reimbursement funding available from these agencies. As a result, these General Fund revenues
experience no significant net gain or loss in times of an economic expansion or slowdown. All
revenue projections based upon a careful examination of the collection history and patterns as
they relate to such factors as seasonality and performance in the economic environment that the
City is most likely to encounter in the coming year.
National Economic Outlook
Both locally and nationally uncertainty is the main theme among forecasts. Most are projecting
either moderate economic growth or a mild recession during the next two years, according to
several economic forecasts. In the growth scenario Growth will be driven by employment,
personal income, and the stock market. Under the recession scenario Economists are expecting
a big stock market decline comparable to the dot.com bust of the early 2000s. It’s important to
note that national economy has been expanding since June 2009. The expansion has now
surpassed 89 months, making it the 4th longest in U.S. history. Expansions commonly end
104
because of imbalances that build up and overheat the economy. These can be driven by major
changes in the economy and or public policy changes.
Cupertino Economic Outlook
The outlook for Cupertino and the Silicon Valley overall has been positive, with steady growth
in this Forecast. Sales taxes continue to be very strong, driven by business to business sales in
the City’s technology sector. Property taxes have also had a strong performance the last two
years but are expected to stabilize as interest rates begin to rise during the forecast period. The
limited supply of housing may eventually dampen growth as well.
Large construction projects have generated strong development-related revenue for the City’s
coffers but have started to level off. The majority of revenues associated with the Apple Campus
2 project have already been collected per the development agreement. No other major projects
are anticipated at this time. Development projects that have yet to be approved and permitted
are not included in this Forecast out of prudence. It would be risky to rely on these one-time
revenues given the political uncertainty around development projects.
In summary, the steady recovery from the great recession is expected to continue impacting the
City’s revenue performance. The economically sensitive revenues, such as sales tax and
property tax receipts, are expected to experience moderate growth over the forecast period.
Development-related revenue such as licenses and permits, construction tax, and charges for
service are expected to decline from the peak experienced in FY 2013-14 due to one-time
projects.
As shown in the chart on the next page, operating expenditures are expected to exceed
operating revenues in all but the final year of the forecast. In addition, reserve levels are
projected to increase as the City proactively prepares for future expenditure liabilities. Per the
City’s new Reserve Policy any additional unassigned fund balance above the $500,000
maximum will be transferred out to the Capital Reserve at the end of the year.

The City’s heavy reliance on the
volatile business-to-business
sector of its sales tax revenue
base has made it vulnerable to
large swings. Currently, the
City’s two largest sales tax
generators—both technology
companies—account for a large
portion of the City’s total sales
tax. Moderate growth in base
sales tax revenues are anticipated
in the range of 2-3% annually in
the out years. These increases will be somewhat offset by a reduction of sales tax related to
construction once Apple Campus 2 is complete.

5 Year Property Tax Forecast
Given the volatility of business-to-business revenue, which accounts for 68.3% of the City’s sales
tax, a key goal of the City’s long-term fiscal strategic plan is to diversify its sales tax base by
building up the general retail and food product sectors. Development projects such as the
Rosebowl, Main Street, and Marina Plaza are expected to generate new or replacement retail.
When fully operational, these developments should help boost retail sales and reduce the City’s
reliance on business-to-business revenues.
As the housing recovery experienced in the last few years slows, property taxes in Cupertino
are expected to continue experiencing strong growth through FY 2018-19 due to the
reassessment of large
development projects and
additional tax equity allocation
(TEA) funds. Assessed values for
Cupertino properties are
estimated to increase by $708.7
million in FY 2015-16 but only
$480.1 million in FY 2016-17. In
FY 2017-18, however, the Apple
Campus 2 property is expected to
be reassessed, increasing property
tax revenues by nearly 9%.

5 Year Licenses and Permits Forecast
Transient occupancy tax (TOT)
revenues are projected to
continue with moderate growth
into FY 2016-17 as occupancy
rates are at record levels given
our strong local economy. In FY
2018-19, the 148 rooms in the
Hyatt House hotel project located
at Vallco Park is expected to open
for business. These additional
rooms are expected to fill unmet
demand and increase TOT
revenues by $820,000 in FY 2018-19. Beyond FY 2018-19, the forecast assumes that out year
growth between 1.5% and 2.0%. Not included in the forecast is the proposed hotel at Marina
Plaza, which is still under review.
As development activity slows,
licenses and permit revenue has
declined. Staff is expected to take
increases the City’s fee schedule
in early June, with the change
rate expected to be effective in
August 2017. Revenues are
expected to decline due to
decreased development activity
over the next two years and will
stabilize by FY 18-19. This
forecast does not assume any
development activity related to the proposed redevelopment of the Vallco Park Mall or the
Oaks Shopping Center.

5 Year Charges for Services Forecast
FY 2017-18 revenues from
charges and services are lower
due to the implementation of a
revised cost allocation plan
(CAP), which aligns with
standard industry practice as
recommended by Matrix
Consulting. In addition,
revenues are expected to increase
based on the revised fee schedule
that goes into effect August 2017.
For out years, the revenue stream
is expected to decrease then
stabilize as development-related activity slows.
Utility user taxes are not sensitive to economic fluctuations as they are based on usage and rates.
The forecast assumes no growth as declining consumption is offsetting projected rate increases.
Franchise fee agreements have escalators based on CPI and the forecast assumes annual growth
in collections tracks with CPI. The solid waste management contract was renewed and did not
significantly impact projections for this revenue source.
Other taxes are made up of construction, property transfer, and business license tax revenue.
These revenues have continued to decelerate from a peak in FY 2013-14 driven by construction
taxes from large development projects. The forecast assumes collections will return to base
levels in FY 2017-18 with minimal growth in the out years.
Intergovernmental revenues will decrease in FY 2017-18 assumes new base level is reached, grant
revenues are assumed to remain at base levels throughout the forecast period.

FIVE-YEAR FORECAST - OTHER REVENUE
109
Use of money and property is expected to remain relatively flat throughout the forecast period
based on the City’s current conservative investment strategy and low interest rates. The Federal
Reserve has been hesitant to increase the Fed Funds rate due to mixed economic indicators.
Fines and Forfeitures are anticipated to increase in FY 2017-18 will remain flat in the out years.
Miscellaneous and non-operational revenues are not assumed in the forecast.
An in-depth analysis of the General Fund expenditure categories was completed to develop the
FY 2018 expenditure estimates included in this Forecast. As displayed in the chart above,
General Fund expenditures are projected to increase from $65.0 million in FY 2015-16 actual to
$75 million in FY 2017-18 and increase in all years of the forecast. The swings in expenditures
are mostly driven by special projects that can range from development projects to facility
improvements.
It is important to note that the Forecast is adjusted to eliminate one-time additions/deletions
and annualize partial year allocations that were included in the 2016-17 Adopted Budget.
Various one-time additions scheduled to expire in June 2016 were eliminated in the out years of
the Forecast.
The following discussion focuses on the assumptions used for estimating each of the
expenditure categories in the General Fund Forecast.

EXPENDITURES
ENDING FUND BALANCE
FIVE-YEAR GENERAL FUND FORECAST

Personnel Expenditures
Personnel costs in FY 2017-18 are increasing due to increases in compensation due to newly
negotiated salary increase in October 2016, reclassification changes as part of the City’s
classification study and costs related to the progression thru the five salary steps available for
each position and the recommendation to add four additional positions. These costs are
projected to increase 2.5% in the first year of the forecast based on negotiated contracts and by
1% annually in the out years of the Forecast. In addition, costs related to the implementation of
the increases to minimum wage have also been factored into the forecast. As discussed in more
detail below, these cost increases are driven mostly by assumed changes in salary and
retirement costs.
Health Benefits
Health benefits account for about 9% of all personnel costs in the General Fund, mostly made
up of health insurance costs. Given that the City pays employees a fixed dollar amount for
health and dental insurance costs, as opposed to covering a percentage of premiums. In October
of 2016 City Council approved labor contracts that resulted in a significant increase in the flat
dollar amount the City pays toward health costs. In addition, and escalator to the flat rate costs
have also been built in for January 2018 and January 2019 for health only. Cost increases in
health above the negotiated flat amount and any increases dental are fully absorbed by
employees.
While not factored into the forecast, there is uncertainty around how the implementation of the
Affordable Care Act (ACA) will affect the City. Beginning in 2018, the so called “Cadillac Tax”
will impose an excise tax for any employer-sponsored health coverage whose value exceeds
$10,200 per year for individuals and $27,500 for families. A 40% excise tax will be imposed on
the amount that exceeds the predetermined thresholds. Most of the City’s current health plans
would fall under the definition of a Cadillac plan, which could increase the City’s cost of
providing health benefits to employees. The City’s health care administrator, CalPERS, has
given assurances that coverage plans will fall below the Cadillac Tax threshold.
Retirement Benefits
The chart below shows the current breakdown of retirement costs borne by the City and
employees for the three retirement tiers. Virtually all employees in the City are
currently covered under the Tier 1 retirement system. Savings from the Tier 2 and Tier 3 are not
expected to be substantial for another 10-15 years.

Significant investment losses experienced by CalPERS during the great recession resulted in
overall funded status of the retirement system dropping to 60.8%.1 Given the economic
recovery, the funded status of the system has improved to 70%.2 However, the desired goal is
100% funded status, where assets on hand are equal to the desired level of assets needed to pay
pension benefits. After a thorough analysis, CalPERS actuaries determined the retirement
system was at significant risk of falling to dangerously low funded status levels under existing
actuarial policies.
In December 2016 CalPERS informed agencies that it would be reducing the discount rate of
return for investments by .5%. The result of this change is drastic and will result in significant
increases in retirement well above what the City had previously forecasted for retirement
expenses. The City anticipates retirement rates increasing by the following in forecast period,
these increases will result in costs almost doubling in the forecast period:

The City’s current unfunded accrued liability is $78 million according the most recent actuarial
report issued by CalPERS in August of 2016.
However, these estimates are based on 7.5% discount rate, the unfunded accrued liability is
would be significantly higher at least $106 million and could go higher than $142 million if the

112
City were to attempt to leave CalPERS. The following shows the City’s Hypothetical
Termination Liability based on the City’s most recent actuarial report.
Other Benefits
The Forecast assumes an annual 2% cost escalator for life insurance, long-term disability
insurance, and the employee assistance program. Workers’ compensation costs vary widely
depending on the number and type of claims, which makes these costs very hard to predict. The
forecast assumes a 2% annual increase. No increases were forecasted for the following benefits:
car allowance, internet allowance, stand by pay and recreation bucks.
Non-Personnel Expenditures
Non-personnel expenditures in FY 2017-18 were adjusted to remove one-time uses and build
forecast projections off of base levels. For the out years of the Forecast, a growth rate based on
projected CPI has been assumed from the FY 2017-18 non-personnel base levels in each of the
four years. The average growth rate for the non-personnel category is 3% annually.
Transfers represent the General Fund’s contributions to other City funds to support debt
payments, pay retiree health costs, finance capital projects, replenish capital project reserves,
acquire new equipment, and to subsidize enterprises and operations. With the implementation
of full cost allocation in FY 2015-16, General Fund expenses will be shifted to other City funds
causing some of those funds’ revenues to fall short of expenses and necessitating the use of fund
balances to cover expenses. The General Fund benefits in the near term with the cost shift,
however, after fund balances in those other funds are drawn down to minimum levels, and
absent aggressive revenue or cost actions in those other funds, General Fund subsidies are
projected to kick in and remain flat in the forecast in order to maintain those fund balance
minimums.
General Fund reserves are projected to increase by $2 million over the Forecast period. This
driven by the City’s ongoing strong revenues and the City’s conservative approach to ongoing
expenditure growth.
113
Although the General Fund unassigned fund balance is expected grow substantially over the
forecast period, it is anticipated that any unassigned fund balance over the $500,000 will be
transferred to the Capital Reserve or into the assigned reserve for PERS costs or into the City’s
Irrevocable Trust should it move forward with this option to assist in smoothing anticipated
increases in retirement. As mentioned several times throughout this document any General
Fund unassigned fund balances above the $500,000 maximum will be transferred out to the
Capital Reserve.

ALL FUNDS SUMMARY
This section provides information on the FY 2017-18 Special Revenue, Debt Service, Capital
Project, Enterprise and Internal Service Funds budgets including, expenditure and revenue
highlights, transfers to other funds, reserve funds and the financial forecast.
Revenue Estimates
Estimates for the FY 2017-18 beginning fund balance and for the individual revenue accounts
are based upon a careful examination of the collection history and patterns as they relate to such
factors as seasonality and performance in the economic environment that the City is most likely
to encounter in the coming year. Each source of revenue can be influenced by external (outside
of the City’s control) and/or internal factors. The FY 2017-18 revenue estimates are built on the
assumption that the economy will continue to experience modest growth, which will positively
impact the City’s economic performance.
Special Revenue Funds
Special Revenue Funds are a fund type used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue
sources that are legally restricted to expenditures for specific purposes. Special Revenue Funds
include the Park Dedication, Transportation, Storm Drain, and Environmental
Management/Clean Creeks funds.
Revenue
Revenue sources for special revenue funds are summarized in the table below and discussed in
greater detail following the table:
Revenues are projected decrease by $28.3 million dollars, largely due to the city not receiving
one-time Below Market housing dollars for FY 2017-18 as per the prior year.

*As part of the Final Budget the Capital Fund anticipated using $9.2 million in fund balance, however due to the
defunding and closeout of projects and a large transfer in of unassigned fund balance from the General Fund, the
City anticipates ending the fiscal year with a net increase of $3.2 million with a total FY 17-18 beginning balance of
$18.5 million dollars.
Enterprise Funds
Enterprise Funds are set up for specific services that are funded directly by fees charged for
goods or services. Enterprise Funds include the Resource Recovery, Sports Center, Blackberry
Farm Golf Course and Recreation funds.
Revenue
Revenue sources for Enterprise Funds are summarized in the table below and discussed in
greater detail following the table:
Revenue is projected to decrease by $928,000, this is primarily driven by increased charges for
services that are more in line with prior year actuals and a decrease in transfers due to the
department using unassigned fund balance to cover operational shortages. As part of the
budget process each fund is evaluated, funds that are bringing in less revenue than they are
expending require the use of fund balance or a subsidy from the General Fund.

ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget of $924,637 for the Council and
Commissions Budget. This represents a decrease of $355,771 from the FY 2016-17 Final
Adopted Budget.
The decrease is primarily due to changes in how the city applied cost allocation charges.
Large shifts in cost allocation charges are found in most program budgets due to a change in
methodology as explained on page 22. This decrease is offset by increases in salary
and benefits due to a new three year limited term Executive Assistant to better support
City Council.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Mayor and Council members, acting as the elected representatives of the residents of
Cupertino, establish public policies to meet community needs and assure orderly
development of the City.
SERVICE OBJECTIVES
The City Council objectives are carried out by city staff under the sole direction of the City
Manager.
ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget of $442,623 for the City Council Budget.
This represents a decrease of $336,695 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted Budget.
Overall, the budget for City Council has decreased largely due to changes in cost allocation
offset by increases in personnel costs. Large shifts in cost allocation charges are found in most
program budgets due to a change in methodology as explained on page 22.
To increase staff support for Council and Administration, an Executive Assistant position will
be added to support the Mayor, Council, and the City Clerk's Office. This increase will be
partially offset by under-filling the Senior Office Assistant with a three-year limited-term
Office Assistant and eliminating two part-time Office Assistants currently supporting the
Council and Administration. Increased personnel costs in this budget reflect this proposal as
well as increases associated with negotiated compensation increases per Council-approved
labor agreements.

Fund costs by category for two prior fiscal years, the Final Budget for the prior fiscal year,

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Parks and Recreation Commission is a five-member citizen’s commission appointed by
the City Council to make recommendations pertaining to parks, recreation and community
services. The Director of Recreation and Community Services serves as staff liaison.
SERVICE OBJECTIVES
Engage the public in dialog regarding the design of new programs and facilities.
Make recommendations regarding these projects to the City Council.
Work with staff and the public to draft and/or revise policies for use of Recreation
and Community Services facilities.
Consider public input regarding the operation of Recreation and Community Services
facilities and make recommendations for their improvement.
Participate on a number of special committees dealing with Recreation and
Community Services.
Serve as ambassadors for the Recreation and Community Services Department.
ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget of $29,736 for the Parks and Recreation
Commission Budget. This represents a decrease of $31,236 from the FY 2016-17 Final
Adopted Budget.
A significant portion of the decrease is due to changes in staffing costs resulting from a
staffing reallocation to support the Recreation Commission. Previously, 10% of the
Recreation and Community Services Director was budgeted here. In FY 2018, it is ] that 5%
the Director and 5% of the Administrative Assistant be allocated to the Commission to better

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Teen Commission is comprised of nine teens representing grades 8-12. The Teen
Commission advises the City Council and staff on teen issues. A Recreation Coordinator in
Recreation and Community Services serves as the staff liaison.
SERVICE OBJECTIVES
Engage the public in dialog regarding the design of new programs, and make
recommendations regarding these projects to City staff.
Assist staff with the programming and promotion of the Teen Center.
Assist staff with the evaluation of teen programming.
Work with staff and the public to create new avenues to interact with teens.
ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget of $59,018 for the Teen Commission
Budget. This represents a decrease of $3,824 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted Budget.
This decrease is primarily due to changes in how the city applied cost allocation charges,
offset by increases in contract services and staffing costs. In FY 2018, the Teen Commission
proposes to develop a teen incubator program. An increase of $10,000 is approved for
marketing, supplies, training, and other program needs. Increases in personnel costs are
associated with negotiated salary and benefit increases within Council-approved labor
contracts.
Large shifts in cost allocation charges are found in most program budgets due to a change
in methodology as explained on page 22.

Administration Budget. This represents an increase of $88,333 from the FY 2016-17 Final

charges. Large shifts in cost allocation charges are found in most program budgets due to a
change in methodology as explained on page 22. This decrease is offset by increases in
salary and benefits due to a new three year limited term Executive Assistant that is split

Programs Specialist position. Staffing is augmented with college interns, which focus on
increasing the number of Green businesses enrolled in the Green Biz program and help with
climate action plan related outreach and program support. The current Environmental
Programs Specialist was hired in January 2017, to fill what was left of a 1 year limited-term
position previously held by the Utility Analyst. The Environmental Programs Specialist
position will be extended by one year. This position will be allocated to the Sustainability
Division (75%) and Environmental Division Resource Recovery fund (25%). This position has
become essential to the Sustainability Division in performing duties related to greenhouse
gas inventory data tracking, climate action plan implementation tracking, program
coordination, tracking utility expenditures and usage for energy, natural gas, water, fuel; and
helping with community outreach and education.
Large shifts in cost allocation charges are found in most program budgets due to a change
in methodology as explained on page 22.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Public Affairs Division is responsible for community outreach to ensure that residents
have access to timely, useful, and important information. The Public Affairs Division oversees
and maintains many of the City’s lines of communication with residents, including the City’s
website, social media accounts, monthly newsletter, videos, event tabling, flyers, and press
releases. Public Affairs also acts as a liaison between various City departments and the
community when it comes to communicating information about projects and events.

Ensure that the community has easy access to important, useful, and timely
information through various forms of media including print, online, and video
Build community pride and positive identification with the City among residents

ADOPTED BUDGET
The Public Affairs Division was reorganized into the City Manager’s Office in FY 2016-17. It
was previously budgeted under the Innovation and Technology Department
(formerly known as the Information Services Department). The Public Affairs Division
budget is approximately $30,000 less compared to last year, mostly due to salary savings
from staff reallocations and savings resulting from bringing graphic design costs for the
Scene, the City's monthly newsletter, in-house.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The City Clerk’s office responsibilities include administrative duties associated with the City
Council’s agenda and actions; publishing legal notices; posting notice of all commission
vacancies; processing codification of City’s Municipal Code; records management; and
compliance with Public Records Act requests.
SERVICE OBJECTIVES
The division’s goals are to ensure compliance with the Brown Act open meetings
requirements, Maddy Act Commission vacancy requirements and the Public Records
Act, to accurately process documents and maintain a records management system that
facilitates timely access to information, including digital access to City records.
Provide complete, accurate and timely information to the public, staff and City
Council.
Respond to internal routing requests within two working days; respond to internal
requests requiring archival research within five working days.
Respond to Public Record Act requests within the time specified by State law.
Provide a digital City Council packet to members of the City Council and staff for use
on mobile devices.
ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget of $599,962 for the City Clerk Budget. This
represents a decrease of $123,696 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted Budget.
To increase staff support for Council and Administration, staff will add an Executive
Assistant position which will support the Mayor, Council, and the City Clerk's Office. Costs
will be partially offset by under-filling an existing Senior Office Assistant with a three-
year limited-term Office Assistant and eliminating two part-time Office Assistants, one of
which supports this program. Increased personnel costs in this budget reflect this proposal
as well as increases associated with negotiated compensation increases per Council-
approved labor agreements.
198
This decrease in cost allocation is primarily due to changes in the cost allocation charges.
Large shifts in cost allocation charges are found in most program budgets due to a change in
methodology as explained on page 22.

SERVICE OBJECTIVES
Administer mail service to each department and satellite facilities in a timely manner.
Process and deliver routine incoming and outgoing mail and packages daily to each
department and satellite facilities.

Services Budget. This represents an increase of $11,189 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted
Budget.
The increase in personnel costs is attributed to the reallocation of an Office Assistant to
support the Mayor, Council, the City Manager's Office, and the City Clerk's Office, offset by
the elimination of part-time staff support. This is part of a proposal to increase staff
support for Council and Administration, staff will add an Executive Assistant position

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This fund was established to meet city wide unexpected expenses that may occur during the
year. In FY 2013-14, an Appropriations for Contingency expenditure category was added to
each General Fund department to serve as a contingency for any unexpected expenditures
that might occur. This category is 10% of each program’s budgeted materials and contract
services. A second level of contingency was also built in for unexpected expenditures that
may occur over the 10% contingency. For all programs within the General Fund, 5% of the
total budgeted materials and contract services were placed in this program. This brings total
Appropriations for Contingencies for the General Fund to 15% of total budgeted materials
and contract services. This percentage is consistent with best practices adopted by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) which recommended 5-15% contingency.
Any unspent contingency funds will go to fund balance at the end of the year. It is anticipated
that this budget along with appropriations for contingency levels in program budget will
decrease over the next few years to somewhere between the 5-10% level based on historical
trends.
ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget of $540,821 for the City Manager
Contingency Budget. This represents an increase of $821 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted
Budget. This budget is relatively unchanged from the prior year.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This program provides for law enforcement, emergency communications, School Resource
Officers, and Youth Probation Program. Services are provided by the Santa Clara County
Sheriff’s Department, while communication services are provided by the Santa Clara County
General Services Administration. The County’s Youth Probation Program, also managed by
the Sheriff’s Department, is funded through a partnership with the Cupertino Union School
District and the City of Cupertino. Other services include general law enforcement (patrol),
traffic enforcement and investigation, detective services and additional resources from
specialized units.
The State allocates the Citizens Option for Public Safety (COPS) grant to cities and counties
for front-line law enforcement purposes. Funding is allocated proportionately based on
population size with a minimum allocation of $100,000 per jurisdiction. This grant will be
used to partially offset the cost of a second School Resource Officer for the FY 2016-17 school
year.
SERVICE OBJECTIVES
Protect life and property through innovative and progressive policing methods.
Respond to Priority 1 emergency situations within an average of less than five
minutes.
Enforce the vehicle code with the goal of increasing traffic safety.
Divert first time/minor youth offenders from the juvenile justice system.
Provide daily on-site interaction with our youth.
ADOPTED BUDGET

Budget. This represents an increase of $30,226 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted Budget.
The increases in personnel costs reflect negotiated employee compensation increases based on
Council-approved labor contracts and are partially offset by a reduction in cost allocation
charges. Large shifts in cost allocation charges are found in most program budgets due to
a change in methodology as explained on page 22.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Video program operates the City’s government access television station, providing multi-
media support services, and overseeing video production for all City departments.
SERVICE OBJECTIVES
Provide information regarding the activities and decisions of the City Council and the
recommendations of its advisory bodies.
Expand community awareness of local government and its decision-making processes
by providing live and re-broadcast coverage of City meetings.
Increase community awareness of City services.
Provide information pertinent to City residents from other local, state and federal
governmental entities.
Provide an additional venue for emergency communications in the event of a disaster.
Provide video production and audio/visual services to City departments.
ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget of $1,569,256 for the Video Budget. This
represents an increase of $90,170 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted Budget.
The budget includes increases to personnel costs and maintenance costs in contract services
partially offset by a reduction in cost allocation charge. Increases in personnel costs are
related to a reallocation of staffing within the department, negotiated increases approved by
Council in FY 2016-17, and additional part-time staffing support ($33,000) that will allow the
department to hire two video interns to convert videos to digital format and catalog video
footage.
The increase in contract services costs ($30,000), is due to a greater preventive and service
maintenance schedule for newly installed systems and the Community Hall and the video
control room completed in FY 2016-17 ($10,000), as well as anticipated preventive
maintenance costs for new conference room audiovisual systems to be installed in FY 2017-18.
The remaining $20,000 increase is due to the development and ongoing service costs of a new
233
online video hosting platform that will be integrated into the new website design, and later
merged with future app development allowing an increased video presence on the City's
social media sites.
Projects in capital outlay include audiovisual technology upgrades for conference rooms
citywide and the EOC ($225,000), field equipment to allow for higher quality outdoor video
footage ($45,000), and a back-up battery system for Community Hall and City Hall control
rooms ($36,000).These increases are offset by a reduction in cost allocation charges which
have decreased this year. Large shifts in cost allocation charges are found in most
program budgets due to a change in methodology as explained on page 22.

and compliance, Incident Response, disaster recovery and business continuity, project
management of implementations and upgrades, purchasing and inventory control, technical

ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget of $2,812,304 for the Infrastructure Budget.
This represents an increase of $120,560 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted Budget.
Increases in personnel costs, materials, and special projects are mostly offset by decreases in
contract services, and cost allocation. The increases in personnel costs reflect a proposal to
utilize IT Interns to perform a technology refresh that involves asset tagging, inventorying
and deploying desktops ($30,000), additional overtime to maintain equipment and access
functionality ($10,000), and negotiated employee compensation increases approved by
Council in FY 2016-17.
Special projects include Storage Phase II Hyper-converged, MFP Refresh citywide and Voice-
over IP. This increase is offset by a decrease in contract services is a result of moving
maintenance, software and general service agreements to the Innovation & Technology
241
Applications Division. In addition, software costs previously budgeted under contract service
were moved to the materials account under software.
The decrease in cost allocation charges is primarily due to changes in how the city applies
these charges. Large shifts in cost allocation charges are found in most program budgets due
to a change in methodology as explained on page 22.

field, negotiated employee compensation increases approved by Council in FY 2016-17, and a
reallocation of staffing from the Innovation & Technology Administration program. In
addition, Council approved the addition of an Asset Management Technician position at
Mid-Year, which is partially budgeted in this program.

On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget of $5,979,807 for the Administrative
Services Budget. This represents a decrease of $652,463 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted
Budget.

salary and benefits due to the addition of a part-time intern to assist the Human Resources
division with clerical tasks and negotiated increases to salary and benefits. Lastly, Contract
Services are up due to increases in consulting services for both the Human Resources and
Finance division of this department.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Monitor business licensing activity for compliance with the City Municipal Code and
applicable state law.
SERVICE OBJECTIVES
Issue business licenses to entities conducting business within the city limits of
Cupertino.
Collect appropriate business license fees.
Monitor compliance with the Business License Tax Code and provide useful
information related to business activity to City departments.
Identify non-compliant business activity.
ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget of $213,935 for the Business Licenses
Budget. This represents an increase of $6,962 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted Budget.
The increase in salary and benefits is due to a 5% increase in allocation of an Accountant II
position to business licenses from finance to better account with time spent in this program.
This is offset by a slight decrease in the cost allocation plan charges. Large shifts in cost
allocation charges are found in most program budgets due to a change in methodology
as explained on page 22.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Human Resources Division is responsible for the administration of a full range of human
resource, employee benefit and labor relations programs including personnel selection,
classification, compensation, equal employment opportunity, labor negotiations, employee
relations, employee development, benefits and retirement. In addition, Human Resources
administer risk management, safety and wellness programs, and a self-insured workers’
compensation program. Funding for retiree medical insurance is also covered in the Human
Resources budget.
SERVICE OBJECTIVES
Provide for a working environment where respect for the individual is encouraged
and safeguarded.
Provide timely personnel services to departments and divisions in a fair, objective,
and equitable manner.
Enter into agreements with employee groups concerning terms and conditions of
employment.
Provide an employee development program addressing immediate and long-term
training needs.
Provide departments a listing of qualified persons for employment consideration
within sixty days of an authorized vacant position.
Ensure equal employment opportunities.
Administer classification plan.
Administer employee benefits.
Provide personnel services consistent with the operational needs of the user
department.
ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget of $978,882 for the Human Resources
Budget. This represents a decrease of $406,942 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted Budget.
260
This decrease is primarily due to changes in how cost allocation charges were applied this
year. Large shifts in cost allocation charges are found in most program budgets due to
a change in methodology as explained on page 22.
This budget includes funding for an employee engagement initiative budgeted for a total of
$20,000. The cost to have Gallup perform the survey and compile the results is approximately
half of these costs with the other half covering costs associated with implementing changes.
In addition, there is funding for a part-time intern at eight hours per week to assist with
clerical duties in the division; this increase is offset by decreased allocation for the Director of
Administrative Services.

On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget $16,447,578 for the Recreation and
Community Services Budget. This represents a decrease of $286,904 from the FY 2016-17 Final
Adopted Budget.
The decrease is primarily due to changes in how the city applied cost allocation charges.
Large shifts in cost allocation charges are found in most program budgets due to a change in
methodology as explained on page 22. This decrease is offset by increases in salary
and benefits due to two new three year limited term Recreation Coordinators for
Disaster Preparedness and Senior Programs and negotiated increases to salary and benefits.

ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget $495,907 for the Administration Budget.
This represents a decrease of $562,436 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted Budget.
The decrease is primarily due to changes in how the city applied cost allocation charges.
Large shifts in cost allocation charges are found in most program budgets due to a change in
methodology as explained on page 22.
The increase of $41,115 represents the cost for the leadership academy program, including
instructors and fees. This is offset by projected revenue from participating agencies in the
281
program of $42,000.
The budget was also increased by $10,000 (contract services) for additional training
opportunities within the department and by $6,000 (materials) to support a national
accreditation process and associated program fees.

ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget $919,005 for the Administration Budget.
This represents an increase of $133,670 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted Budget.
The increase in salary and benefits is primarily due to the reallocation of 35% of a Recreation
Manager and 45% of a Special Programs Coordinator to Administration. This reallocation is
offset by the associated savings in the Facilities and Community Outreach programs.
Large shifts in cost allocation charges are found in most program budgets due to a change
in methodology as explained on page 22.

ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget $438,337 for the Cultural Events Budget.
This represents an increase of $61,845 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted Budget.
This budget increases part-time staffing ($21,000), program materials ($5,000), and contractual
services ($14,000) for expanded neighborhood activation. This program activates
294
neighborhoods through a mobile recreation program by bringing outdoor cinema, concerts,
pop-up parks, and guest performers to neighborhoods throughout the spring, summer, and
fall. In addition, a new mobile climbing wall will also increase part-time staffing ($30,000) to
support up to four bookings per week during a 6-month season. Extremely popular in other
cities, the climbing wall will be available by request for block parties, festivals, and community
events and will also be scheduled in public spaces throughout the spring, summer, and fall. In
addition, $40,000 for the purchase of a truck to safely tow the climbing wall is budgeted in the
PW Fleet budget.
As the City greatly values community and cultural events, the Department will waive costs
totaling $116,310 to festival producers as detailed in the table below.

The decrease is largely due to a reallocation of staffing within the department to better reflect

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Provide fee-based youth/teen programs, including academic and enrichment classes, STEAM
and recreational camps, playgrounds, and special events with reduced impact to the General
Fund.
SERVICE OBJECTIVES
Provide a nine-month preschool program, summer camps, and an extensive variety of
contractual classes for youth, teen, and adults, while collaborating with the Cupertino
Union School District and Fremont Union High School district on select program
offerings.
Promote programs through social media to increase community awareness.

ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget $2,214,409 for the Youth Teen Recreation
Budget. This represents an increase of $254,402 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted Budget.
The increase is largely due to a reallocation of 0.50 Recreation Coordinator within the
department to better reflect actual time spent on each program and increased costs for part-
time staffing due to minimum wage salary increases. New program offerings include parent
tot preschool and expanded teen excursions. Supply budgets are increasing due to the
expansion of programs offered in the areas of parent tot programs, all day camps, and
contracted classes. Materials are increasing due to ceramic studio equipment needs: kiln
shelving, kiln stilts, and tables and chairs for Portal and Wilson park buildings.
The increase for contractual services ($65,000) is due to expanded class offerings for existing
contractor program areas as well as bringing on three new contractors in the areas of:
315
communications and debate, youth ceramics, and computer programming.

ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget $2,206,884 for the Youth, Teen and Senior
Adult Recreation Budget. This represents an increase of $183,957 from the FY 2016-17 Final
Adopted Budget.
The addition of 1.0 three-year limited-term Recreation Coordinator in this budget will
support additional programming such as the reinstatement of the Noontime program at
various elementary school sites. In addition, part time staffing expenses have increased to
extend operational hours and additional front desk and facility coverage to better meet the
needs of seniors in our city. The increase in contract services is due to extended hours at the
senior center which allows staff to provide additional class offerings on Saturdays and on
weekday evenings. A revenue increase of $20,000 is projected. Materials were increased to
support the implementation of the department's new recreation software that includes
$16,000 for new membership cards, key tags and required data plans. Lastly, large shifts in
cost allocation charges are found in most program budgets due to a change in
methodology as explained on page 22.

ADOPTED BUDGET

This represents an increase of $84,827 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted Budget.
This increase is primarily due to changes in how the City applied cost allocation charges.
Large shifts in cost allocation charges are found in most program budgets due to a change in
methodology as explained on page 22.This budget includes $68,000 to continue a relationship
with Grassroots Ecology at the McClellan Ranch. This partnership results in 36 volunteer
habitat restoration workdays, monthly water quality monitoring of Stevens Creek, an d
support for approximately 50 educational programs for students and community groups
while maintaining the restoration of the meadow area. This budget projects $469,000 in Park
Facility Revenue of which $120,000 can be attributed to the reallocation of the Blue Pheasant
Rental into this account.

Budget. This represents an increase of $177,664 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted Budget.
The increase is largely due to an internal reallocation of staffing within the department and
negotiated employee compensation increases based on Council-approved labor contracts. A
fitness/aquatics coordinator was reallocated from Recreation & Education to more accurately
reflect duties performed. The BBF Golf Course Recreation Coordinator is now overseeing the
adult softball program so 0.10 of his salary was reallocated to this account. An additional 0.12
of the sports/fields Recreation Coordinator's salary was reallocated to this account to more
accurately reflect duties performed.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The mission of the Office of Emergency Services is to lead and direct the City in prevention,
preparation, mitigation, response, and recovery from all hazards, incidents, and events.
SERVICE OBJECTIVES
Develop and implement the goals and objectives of Cupertino's Office of Emergency
Services.
Maintain the City’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in a perpetual state of
operational readiness.
Support Citizen Corps, Cupertino Amateur Radio Emergency Service (CARES),
Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) and Community Emergency Response Team (CERT).
Prepare, test and revise emergency response and recovery policies, plans and
procedures in compliance with the California Emergency Services Act, the
Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS), and the National Incident
Management System (NIMS).
Coordinate training of City staff in personal preparedness, SEMS/NIMS, and EOC
functions.
Maintain effective liaison with local, state and national emergency management
organizations and/or allied disaster preparedness and response agencies.
Complete second phase of ARK Net system.
ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget $356,231 for the Disaster Preparedness
Budget. This represents an increase of $259,601 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted Budget.
The increase is related to the Adopted creation of an Office of Emergency Services (OES) with
dedicated personnel and financial resources, which would support the goals and objectives in
the City’s General Plan, and better leverage existing Santa Clara County Fire Department
333
emergency management resources made available to the City. In the past, Santa Clara County
Fire funded 1.0 Emergency Coordinator to support the City of Cupertino but eliminated that
support in early 2010. As a result, the only ongoing emergency preparedness program was
education and training of our volunteer Citizen Corps.
Establishing a Cupertino Office of Emergency Service s would fill one of the City’s essential
roles, protecting the health and safety of the public. It may save the City money in the long-
run as recent studies indicate that for every $1 spent in disaster preparedness, government
saves an average of $4 in response and recovery, in addition to FEMA support that will be
lent to properly-prepared municipalities. With a strong OES, general preparedness will be
integrated into daily decision-making, thus promoting our response capabilities from the
ground up. Not only will we engage the full roster of employees, but the entire Cupertino
community as well. Residents, businesses, schools, and religious institutions in Cupertino
will benefit immensely from an organized, structured OES that will promote collaboration
and unity within the City, while empowering community members to be self-sufficient. Our
goal is to become the example other cities look to when establishing or revamping their
Offices of Emergency Services.
The Adopted OES Coordinator would focus on enhancing community resilience through
development of the following program areas: Plans/Grants/MOUs, Training & Exercises,
Departmental Coordination, Regional Coordination, Community Engagement & Education,
and EOC Readiness. Establishment of this office is a FY 2017-18 City work plan objective.
The majority of the increased budget ($258,573) is for employee compensation and benefits
which funds 1.0 new full time OES Coordinator and allows for both temporary reallocation of
existing staff and additional part time support for the program.

and amending documents including the General Plan, Specific Plans, Conceptual Plans, and
the Municipal Code, including the Zoning Ordinance. Additionally, the program anticipates
and evaluates trends, and develops strategies and plans to help the City address change.
SERVICE OBJECTIVES
Review and amend the City's General Plan, Housing Element, and Municipal Code,
including the Zoning Ordinance, Specific, Conceptual and Master Plans.
Ensure that City processes and regulations are in compliance with State and Federal
regulations.
Review and implement policies in the General Plan, Housing Element, Zoning
Ordinance, Specific, Conceptual and Master Plans.
Coordinate with various regional, State and Federal agencies on projects.

ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget of $725,588 for the Mid and Long Term
Planning Budget. This represents a decrease of $99,970 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted
Budget.
The decrease is primarily attributable to changes in how the city applied cost allocation
charges. Large shifts in cost allocation charges are found in most program budgets due to
a change in methodology as explained on page 22.
The decrease in special projects is due to the costs and scope of projects in the current year
being less than in the prior year. Funds for uncompleted special projects will be carried over
from FY 2016-17.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Building Plan Review program is responsible for the timely and accurate review and
approval of plans and specifications for all residential, commercial and industrial permit
applications for buildings and structures to ensure the Adopted design meets or exceeds the
minimum life safety, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, accessibility, energy and structural
safety standards of all governing codes.
SERVICE OBJECTIVES
Provide a streamlined building plan review system that will ensure plans comply
with all applicable state and local codes and ordinances.
Continue to streamline the internal application processing system and permit review
process.
Confer with design professionals on project application and pre-application meetings.
Provide general code information for property owners, design professionals,
developers, contractors and the general public.
Assist building inspectors in difficult or unusual code interpretation as it applies to
various buildings and structures.
Assist in training of building inspectors and permit technicians in conducting
residential and minor commercial plan review.
ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget of $1,283,854 for the Building Plan Review
Budget. This represents a decrease of $200,435 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted Budget.
The decrease is primarily attributed to carrying over special projects and contract services,
and more accurately anticipating material expenses. Large shifts in cost allocation charges are
found in most program budgets due to a change in methodology as explained on page 22.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Building Inspection program is responsible for the construction inspection of all new and
existing buildings and structures for conformity with approved plans and permits, and for
compliance with state and local building code requirements. The program also responds to
emergency situations and complaints of unsafe structures, work without permits, and
prepares Notices of Violation as necessary. Unabated cases are referred to the Code
Enforcement Division for further action.
SERVICE OBJECTIVES
Build and maintain a positive working relationship with co-workers, other city
employees and the general public using principles of quality customer service.
Build and maintain a partnership with property owners, developers and contractors
to help our customers meet their building occupancy goals.
Perform building inspections within 48 hours of receiving the request.
Consistently and accurately document non-complying code issues to ensure proper
and safe installation of routine and complex building systems.
Ensure that minimum building code safety requirements are met in all phases of
construction for structural, electrical, plumbing, mechanical and accessibility
installations.
Educate community members about life and safety inspection issues as they occur
before and during the construction process.
Work with owners, developers and contractors to implement principles of green
building as required in the CALGreen Building Code and Cupertino green building
requirements.
ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget of $1,349,597 for the Building Code
Enforcement Budget. This represents a decrease of $496,243 from the FY 2016-17 Final
Adopted Budget.
386
The decrease is primarily attributed to the fact that special projects are expected to be
completed.
Increase in contract services reflects an increase in credit card fees. This covers credit card fees
for all transactions for Public Works, Planning and all Building divisions. The budget
allocates more money to pay these fees and explore mobile payment options to improve
customer service and convenience.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Community Development Code Enforcement Program provides for the enforcement of
various provisions of the municipal code relating to nonconforming land use and building
code compliance. These activities include building without permits, unpermitted removal of
protected trees, nonconforming accessory structures, various use permit violations, private
residential fence height/setback violations, and nonconforming signs. Assistance is provided
to Planning and Building Division staff in the resolution of different code violations and land
use concerns, which are contrary to the municipal code.
SERVICE OBJECTIVES
Respond to citizen, City department, or outside agency referrals within 48 hours.
Provide services with an emphasis on community education and customer service.
Enforce the codes in a fair, equitable, and objective manner.
ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget of $311,082 for the Municipal Code
Enforcement Budget. This represents an increase of $34,908 from the FY 2016-17 Final
Adopted Budget.
This increase is primarily attributed to changes in how the city applied cost allocation
charges. Large shifts in cost allocation charges are found in most program budgets due to
a change in methodology as explained on page 22.

ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget of $34,794,219 for the Public Works
Budget. This represents a decrease of $444,842 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted Budget.
The decrease is primarily due to changes in how the city applied cost allocation charges.
Large shifts in cost allocation charges are found in most program budgets due to a change in
methodology as explained on page 22. This decrease is offset by increases in salary
and benefits due to one new three year limited term Senior Planner to assist with
transportation projects and negotiated increases to salary and benefits.

This represents a decrease of $765,136 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted Budget.
This decrease is primarily due to changes in how the city applied cost allocation charges.
Large shifts in cost allocation charges are found in most program budgets due to a change in
methodology as explained on page 22.
This program is adding two part-time Office Assistant positions for records conversion.
The decrease in special projects is due to the costs and scope of projects in current year being
less than in the prior year.

ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget of $2,117,716 for the Plan Review Budget.
This represents an increase of $1,105,492 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted Budget.
There are increases in salary and benefits due to the reallocation of the Associate Civil
Engineer position and the reclassification costs associated with the change from Senior Civil
Engineer to Transportation Manager. The position currently classified as a Senior Civil
Engineer has grown in scope, breadth of responsibilities, organizational hierarchy, and
subject matter specificity (transportation). The Transportation Manager classification is
similar to classifications in other cities in the county, and much more closely captures the
current and near-future duties and responsibilities of the position. The scope of this position
has grown to include an active and growing Safe Routes to School Program, a significantly
increased emphasis to manage and implement the Bicycle Transportation Plan, the
Pedestrian Transportation Plan, and the ADA Accessibility Transition Plan. This position
also serves as the City’s ADA Coordinator and liaison to the Bicycle and Pedestrian
Commission. In 2017-18, this position will also supervise a Transportation Planner that will
focus on transit issues, including school and senior bus and ride-share programs, as well as
corporate bus issues and transit funding programs through the VTA’s Measure B program.
Organizationally, this position formerly reported to the Assistant Director of Public Works,
however for the past four years has reported directly to the Director.
The increases in special projects are described in the table below.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

all capital improvement projects including streets, storm drainage, buildings, parks, and
other public facilities.
SERVICE OBJECTIVES
Ensure that all public improvements are designed and constructed in accordance with
community expectations and City standards.

Place safety of the general public, City employees and workers as the highest priority
in the delivery of capital projects.
Respond to public inquiries or complaints in a timely manner.
ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget of $854,429 for the CIP Administration
Budget. This represents a decrease of $320,892 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted Budget.
This decrease is primarily due to changes in how the city applied cost allocation charges.
Large shifts in cost allocation charges are found in most program budgets due to a change in
methodology as explained on page 22. The decrease in contract services is attributed
to reallocating budget for preliminary planning and design to the Capital
Improvement Program.

ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget of $747,097 for the Memorial Park Budget.
This represents an increase of $168,464 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted Budget.
This program is increasing salary and benefits due to the reallocation of staff and overtime,
general supplies for engineering chip for playgrounds and general services for goose
abatement and tree work. The decrease in materials is attributed to the pond shut off and
therefore no water is needed to service to the ponds. The increases in special projects are
described in the table below.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Transportation Division oversees traffic operations, traffic studies, transportation
planning, and transportation capital improvements to safely and efficiently manage
vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic within the City’s street and trail network. This
includes responding to citizen requests and concerns regarding traffic issues, developing
plans for the installation of traffic signals, traffic signs, and pavement markings, and
developing design standards. The Division assists in the preparation of the General Plan,
street plan lines and the capital improvement program related to street improvements.
Division staff are active on Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA)
subcommittees and working groups and keeps abreast regarding current developments in the
field as well as grant funding opportunities for large projects.
The Transportation Division also participates in the review of private development proposals
to identify potential traffic impacts and to require necessary mitigations to maintain levels of
service and safe and efficient traffic operations.
SERVICE OBJECTIVES
Ensure the efficiency and safety of the street system for all modes of travel through
continual observation of traffic patterns, traffic signals and other traffic control
devices.
Review traffic collision reports, traffic flow patterns, and neighborhood traffic issues
and respond as needed.
Cooperate with neighboring jurisdictions on regional issues that affect both traffic
safety and traffic efficiency at City boundaries.
Continue training personnel in traffic engineering by encouraging attendance at
classes and seminars.
Develop partnerships and coordinate with schools, school districts, and parents on
Safe Routes to School Program.
ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget of $1,001,024 for the Traffic Engineering
506
Budget. This represents a decrease of $757,377 from the FY 2016-17 Final Adopted Budget.
This is an increase in overtime, telephone and data plan based on devices supported and
conference and training for new staff. The decrease in special projects is due to the costs and
scope of projects in current year being less than the prior year. To support the 2017 Work
Program, a new 3-year limited term Senior Transportation/Mobility Planner position
will act as a transportation planner who will focus on transit issues, including school and
senior bus and ride-share programs, corporate bus issues and transit funding programs
through the VTA’s Measure B program. In addition, the position currently classified as
a Senior Civil Engineer will be reclassified to Transportation Manager as the position
has grown in scope, breadth of responsibilities, organizational hierarchy, and subject
matter specificity (transportation). The Transportation Manager classification is
similar to classifications in other cities in the county, and much more closely captures the
current and near-future duties and responsibilities of the position. The scope of this position
has grown to include an active and growing Safe Routes to School Program, a
significantly increased program to manage and implement the Bicycle Transportation
Plan, the Pedestrian Transportation Plan and the ADA Accessibility Transition Plan. This
position also serves as the City’s ADA Coordinator and liaison to the Bicycle and
Pedestrian Commission. This position formerly reported to the Assistant Director of
Public Works, however for the past four years has reported directly to the Director of
Public Works. This position will also supervise the requested Transportation/Mobility

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Traffic Signal Maintenance Division oversees the operation and maintenance of the City’s
56 traffic signals, including eight traffic signals owned by the State of California. The Division
also maintains the traffic signal communication infrastructure, such as the fiber optic network
and the traffic operation center hub.
SERVICE OBJECTIVES
Ensure the continuous and safe operation of the City’s traffic signal system on a
continuous 24-hour basis with full-time and on-call staff, which is accomplished by
regularly performing preventative maintenance, diagnosing malfunctions and repairs,
investigating citizen complaints, replacing or upgrading obsolete hardware,
inspecting the work of contractors, responding to knockdowns and power outages,
and adjusting signal timing parameters.
Continue training, maintaining proficiency of traffic signal technicians and on-call
staff by encouraging attendance at classes and seminars.
ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget of $713,733 for the Traffic Signal
Maintenance Budget. This represents an increase of $78,423 from the FY 2016-17 Final
Adopted Budget.
This increase is primarily due to changes in how the city applied cost allocation charges.
Large shifts in cost allocation charges are found in most program budgets due to a change in
methodology as explained on page
This program is requesting increases for standby pay and overtime to better account for
actual expenditures.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The recruitment and hiring of top quality department heads is essential to the efficient
operation of the City. Housing costs in Silicon Valley tend to act as a disincentive to persons
relocating to the area, and therefore, as an obstacle to the recruitment, hiring, and retention of
such top quality personnel. To assist in this end, the Council adopted the housing assistance
program for department heads.
SERVICE OBJECTIVES
The housing assistance program for department heads provides housing loans for their
primary residence at interest rates indexed with the 11th District cost of funds with an
optional deferred interest feature for the first five years. There is assistance with half of the
closing costs. The City may assist in the purchase by acquiring up to thirty percent of the
equity share in the residence.
ADOPTED BUDGET
On June 20, 2017, City Council approved a budget of $10,000 for the Employee Housing
Assistance Budget. This budget is unchanged from the prior year.
