percentage change when the figure is available.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Cupertino hereby approves a 2018-19 fiscal appropriation limit of $100,538,305, based on
Proposition 111 guidelines allowing for use of the county population percentage change

Budget Message
May 1, 2018
To the Residents of Cupertino, Honorable Mayor, and Members of the City Council:
I am happy to report that the City of Cupertino presently finds itself in a healthy financial
position. With revenues continuing to outpace expenditures in the short term, coupled with the
City’s conservative budgeting approach, the City is able to maintain excellent service, high-
quality programs and initiatives, and healthy reserves. The City prides itself on being a financially
stable organization, so it is a pleasure to submit a balanced budget for Fiscal Year 2018-2019.
The City’s top three sources of revenue continue to be property, sales, and transient occupancy
taxes. All three revenue streams are expected to grow, although the pace of that growth will slow.
The last five years were a boon to the City’s coffers due to major development projects, such as
Main Street and Apple Park. However, these were one-off projects that have been completed. As
large-scale development begins to decline in Cupertino, the City will see the effects of that in
reduced short-term revenue.
This year, for the first time, City staff has included a medium-term (5 year) and a long-term (20
year) budget projection. While long-term projections are inherently less reliable than short-term
projections, they can help detect structural budget issues that can be mitigated if identified early.
In the next five years, our projections show small operating surpluses, even without additional
development-generated revenue.
However, beginning in 2025, the forecast shows that expenditures are projected to exceed
revenues at an increasing rate. That is because two of the City’s largest sources of revenue,
property tax and sales tax, are projected to continue to grow but at a much slower pace.
Expenditure growth is being driven by pension liability costs that are projected to increase by
more than 80% in the first five years of the forecast. Although pension costs are projected to level
off in future years, the City’s contract with the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office is expected to
continue increasing at a much faster rate of approximately 4.5% per year.
This budget reflects the interesting position that the City finds itself in. In the short term, the City
can target specific programs and initiatives for smart expansion that will immediately benefit our
residents and broader community. However, the City is also making decisions now, such as
scaling back on certain programs and projects, to better position itself financially in the next five
to 20 years. The following sections are snapshots of the decisions being made that fall into those
categories.
15
Recreation and Community Service Events and Initiatives
The City’s goal, and the mission of the Recreation and Community Services Department, is to
offer opportunities that celebrate Cupertino’s diverse culture and varying age groups. We do that
by providing events and activities to encourage participation by those with different
backgrounds, experiences, and interests.
This year’s budget will allow the Recreation and Community Services Department to expand on
its ever-popular summer events. This summer will include a full schedule of outdoor concerts,
movies, and free fitness activities. This year’s offerings differ from previous years in that events
will expand into neighborhoods and local parks. New sites will include the Civic Center Plaza,
Jollyman Park, Creekside Park, and Main Street Park.
The goal, as always, is to create a sense of community and offer residents a stress-free
environment where they can relax and have fun while hanging out with family, friends, and
neighbors. To that extent, the City will be partnering with neighborhood leaders and local
nonprofits to help organize and host these events. These partnerships will ensure buy-in from
our community.
In addition, the City will also be investing in improvements to the popular Memorial Park events.
The City will be unveiling a new sound system for concerts and outdoor movie screen and
projection system for the Cinema at Sundown event series.
We fully expect that these new events and upgraded equipment will enhance the quality of City-
hosted events our residents have come to expect.
Pension Liability Funding
Cupertino, like most California cities, provides retirement benefits for its employees through the
California Public Employee’s Retirement System (CalPERS), which administers benefits for its
more than 1.5 million members. The CalPERS retirement plan is structured as a defined benefit
plan. This means the plan provides benefits that are calculated using a formula, rather than
accounting for individual member’s contributions and earnings in a savings pl an, which occurs
with a 401k.
During the recession, CalPERS investment assets decreased substantially and actuarial methods
and economic and demographic assumptions were adjusted, significantly decreasing asset
valuations. Together, the investment decline and actuarial changes created a gap between
pension assets and liabilities. This gap is known as an “Unfunded Accrued Liability” (UAL).
Prior to 2014, CalPERS agencies received their retirement rate as a percentage of payroll that
included both the normal and UAL costs. In 2014, CalPERS separated the UAL from the normal
annual service cost in the annual valuation report, in addition to moving from a percent of pay
to a flat amount for UAL, normal cost rates remained unchanged as a percent of pay calculation.
16
Two years later, in December 2016, the CalPERS Board voted to decrease the rate of return on
investments, also known as the discount rate, from 7.5% to 7.0%. Since then, cities across the state
have been faced with an unprecedented escalation in employee pension costs. Each city has
chosen to confront the challenge in its own way. The City of Cupertino decided last fiscal year
to increase our CalPERS retirement reserve from $500,000 to $4.8 million. To further prepare
the City, this budget increases funding for this reserve by $3.2 million to a total of $8.0
million. This approach, based on a 20-year projection, should allow the City to weather the
significant projected increases to employer retirement rates while minimizing its impact on
City operations. In addition, should rates exceed those currently forecasted by CalPERS due to
investment returns or assumption changes, the City will be able to utilize these dollars to offset
any unexpected cost. If rates stabilize, these dollars could be used as a direct payment to offset
UAL costs and result in the City reaching an 80% funded status in a shorter time frame.
Although not a problem of our making, the City is doing everything it can to limit
the ramifications of rising pension costs. In order to protect the City’s valuable assets, and
reduce the impact on programs and services, the City will continue to augment the
retirement reserve. Although this will help mitigate the effects of the City’s pension liability
increases, the escalating costs of the Sheriff’s contract—mostly due to rising pension costs on
their end—is outside of this program. These costs will become increasingly unaffordable
without growing revenues through property, sales, and other taxes that have yet to be
approved by the electorate.
Capital Improvement Projects
The City has been fortunate over the last five years to have been able to invest in itself. The
City focused on major infrastructure projects such as paving roads, upgrading storm
drainage systems, and constructing a bicycle network. With the investments made into our
Pavement Management Program, as well as focused infrastructure areas of our Capital
Improvement Program, the City made noticeable improvements that benefit residents and
businesses in their everyday lives. After years of infrastructure investment, the City can scale
back on some of these capital projects and focus on less costly infrastructure maintenance.
Through many years of neglect and degradation, much brought about by the recession,
the overall pavement condition rating for the City bottomed out in 2013 at rating of 64 on a 1 to
100 scale. This is on the low end of the “good” range, which was mostly kept up by the
better condition of our major arterial streets. Unfortunately, many of our neighborhood streets
had sunk into the 20s, which is considered “very poor.” With the investments made over the
past five years, our network rating is anticipated to hit 83 this year, which is on the high end of
the “very good” range, closing in on “excellent.” This five-year turnaround is believed to
be the quickest improvement in the state.
As part of our Pavement Management Program, the City accomplished a significant amount of
improvements to our bicycle path network by applying different paint legends and striping
after the repaving of roadways were completed. We installed green bike lanes in sensitive
merging locations, and installed bike “buffers,” cross-hatched areas to give some room between
17
bikes and cars, and we installed “sharrows” to indicate where bikes and cars must share the
road.
More importantly, we initiated and made great progress with detailed planning, community
outreach, and design of three major bicycle trails within the City, two long segments of protected
bike lanes on McClellan Road and Stevens Creek Boulevard, and a citywide network of bike
boulevards that reduce vehicular speeds and encourage bicycles along neighborhood streets. A
plan for a system of wayfinding signage has also been completed. While a lot of this work has not
yet been constructed, the initial stage work on many of these projects will occur this fiscal year.
Other major investments have been in our storm drainage system. Over the last few years, we
have completed three major storm drainage projects that addressed areas of historical local
flooding. These areas are in the Monta Vista neighborhood, on Bubb, Elm Court and McClellan
Road, and on North Foothill Boulevard near Cupertino Road.
Despite our progress toward meeting our infrastructure needs, there is still much to be
accomplished. There will be a host of improvements coming to our parks, both large and small,
which will flow from our Parks and Recreation System Master Plan. Also many of our facilities,
not the least being City Hall, need to be replaced or significantly upgraded. Without the infusion
of additional one-time revenues, in the form of developer fees or publicly approved debt, these
improvements will continue to be deferred.
Efficiencies Gained Through Technology
Along with its investments in physical infrastructure, the City recently focused on four key
initiatives:
1. Implementing business applications that provide enhanced accessibility and transparency
to its residents
2. Strengthening the City’s cybersecurity posture
3. Enhancing citizen engagement
4. Solidifying business continuity and disaster recovery plans
Over the past few years, the City acquired and implemented new applications to improve
operational efficiencies and customer service, including an enterprise resource planning software
for budget, payroll, and human resources processes; along with transparency platforms like
OpenGov.
Enhancements coming this fiscal year are planned for three major applications: land
management, recreation, and asset management. The City fully expects to complete the
implementation of land management software within the next year, as well as new Recreation
software in the fall or winter of 2018. Additionally, Innovation Technology will pilot two
technologies in the coming year: chatbots and augmented reality. The goal of these technologies
is to enhance customer experience.
18
Cybersecurity concerns have magnified over the past year and Cupertino has responded by
replacing security systems with next generation technologies. IT will further strengthen our
posture by implementing security controls, policies, and procedures that meet bests practice
guidelines. Next year the City will move to geographically dispersed data locations to store
mission critical information thereby increasing both business continuity and disaster recovery for
City data.
Citizen engagement, always a priority with Cupertino staff, will be enhanced by the
implementation of the Open Town Hall application. This application will be utilized to inform
and involve citizens by sharing information more effectively and collecting broader resident
feedback. The City’s GIS capabilities were significantly expanded through the use of the asset
management software.
Conclusion
The near future looks bright for the City’s financial picture. With revenues still outpacing
expenditures for the next few years, the City can focus on maintaining and improving services
and initiatives that will positively affect our residents’ lives. But with the knowledge that
expenditures are projected to eventually surpass revenues, the City has the ability to make
decisions now to scale back on certain programs to ensure that the City remains a financially
stable organization well into the future.

Notable Accomplishments and New Initiatives
NOTABLE ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN FISCAL YEAR 2017-18
Green Prime
In Spring 2017, Silicon Valley Clean Energy began providing clean, carbon-free electricity to
Cupertino residents and businesses. The City opted into its Green Prime service, which
provides 100% renewable electricity to our City-owned facilities, buildings, parks, and lights
throughout the City. This reduces our overall greenhouse gas emissions and helps bring the
City closer to its Climate Action Plan (CAP) goals.
Demonstration Garden
The City transformed the landscape around City hall to a drought tolerant demonstration
garden. This demonstration garden implements xeriscaping, a landscaping method that
integrates water-conserving techniques such as utilizing low water using plants, mulch, and
efficient irrigation to eliminate the need for supplemental watering. A well-designed xeriscape
can be a beautiful addition that not only saves water, but also invites wildlife, provides year-
round interest, and creates attractive natural spaces.
Pogo
In partnership with the Fremont Union High School District, the City of Cupertino launched a
student carpool pilot program in January 2018. The pilot gives Cupertino High parents free
access to the Pogo, Inc. mobile platform, which allows Cupertino High parents to connect in a
closed group to create and manage walk-, bike-, or carpools. The goal is to make it easy for busy
parents to organize convenient, reliable alternative transportation options for their children. An
effective parent carpool program has the potential to reduce traffic congestion around schools
during peak hours as well as reduce GHG emissions to further the City’s CAP goals.
Youth Engagement
The City Manager’s Office undertook several youth engagement efforts in Fiscal Year 2017-18.
Staff annually hosts DeAnza College’s APALI Youth Leadership Academy class at City Hall to
inform students about careers in local government. This year, staff also created a local
government civics lesson geared for middle school students. Staff spent a day with Miller
Middle School students engaging them using fun, interactive activities. These students were
later invited to visit City Hall and meet then-Mayor Vaidhyanathan. Lastly, City Manager’s
Office staff partnered with the Recreation and Community Services Department on a youth job
fair and created a presentation on “landing the job” with tips for resume writing and
interviewing.
20
Recruitment Software Implementation
NeoGov, an online system for recruitment and applicant tracking, as well as onboarding, is
being implemented to streamline the recruitment and hiring process for all departments.
Implementation includes staff training, and inputting recruitment, salary, job specifications into
the test module. The system will be more user-friendly for job candidates and hiring managers.
Staff will complete implementation of the recruitment and application tracking model by the
end of the fiscal year.
Establishing a Labor Management Committee
The City is working with CEA (Cupertino Employees’ Association) to establish a Labor
Management Committee. The proposal is to meet regularly to explore mutual concerns that will
be beneficial between the City and CEA. Such meetings should not be intended to serve as
negotiations but as an exchange information or to solve problems and issues.
Asset Management Module
During FY 2017-18, the City’s Finance staff began implementation of its Asset Management
module. This module will assist in the accounting and financial reporting for the City’s capital
assets. While system implementations require significant staff resources, recording and
maintaining the City’s capital asset records within its general ledger will improve efficiency,
clarity, as well as transparency.
Legal Actions
The City prosecuted and defended a total of 11 legal actions with favorable results. In Yanovsky
v. City of Cupertino, a jury found that the City was not liable for traumatic injuries suffered by
a motorcyclist who collided with a motor vehicle exiting its residential driveway on to a City
street. In Tefari v. City of Cupertino, the trial court granted the City’s motion for summary
judgment, disposing of a personal injury action filed by an 8-year-old girl who sought a damage
award for injuries that she allegedly suffered after a fall from a soccer goal. In City of Saratoga, et
al. v. California Department of Transportation, et al. the City obtained a favorable settlement
resolving its CEQA challenge to Caltrans’s proposed expansion of toll lanes located on State
Route 85. The City Attorney’s Office also continued to defend the City’s legal position with
respect to initiatives.
Development Projects
The Community Development Department oversaw the planning and the City Attorney’s
Office facilitated the City’s approval of three development projects including the following: the
Charities Housing Project which consists of 19 residential units, of which 18 are Below Market
Rent (“BMR”) senior housing units; the Marina Foods Redevelopment, featuring a 122 room
hotel and 188 housing units including 18 BMR units; and the Hamptons, a 942 unit apartment
complex with 71 BMR units.
21
Contract Templates
To promote best practices and to streamline the contract review process, the City Attorney’s
Office developed seven contract templates for use with design professionals, professional
consultants, information technology, and for use based on a specific contract amount.
Medical Marijuana Ordinance
In response to voter approval of Proposition 64 at the November 2016 Election, City staff and
the City Attorney’s Office collaborated on the adoption of an amendment to its Medical
Marijuana Ordinance to maintain local control, and to address the changes mandated by the
Adult Use of Marijuana Act (“AUMA”). The City also adopted an ame ndment to update its
Municipal Code to reflect the most recent changes in state law to the regulation of Accessory
Development Units.
Fourth of July Fireworks
In July 2017, the Recreation and Community Services Department coordinated the return of the
4th of July Fireworks Show to Cupertino. The fireworks were launched from Hyde Middle
School to an estimated crowd of 7,500. Spectators gathered at three viewing sites (Creekside
Park, Miller Avenue, and Sedgwick Elementary) and throughout the adjacent neighborhoods.
The City’s Recreation and Public Works staff worked closely with a number of partners to
deliver a safe and successful event, including the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office, Santa
Clara County Fire Department, CERT and Citizen Corps volunteers, Cupertino Union School
District, Fremont Union High School District, Creekside Community Church of Cupertino, West
Valley Presbyterian Church, and local businesses. This collaborative, community event was
well-received and is planned to continue.
Expanded Hours at the Senior Center
In September 2017, the Senior Center launched expanded evening and weekend hours and is
now open Monday through Thursday 8am-9pm, Friday 8 a.m.-5.p.m., and Saturday 8:30 a.m.-
4:30 p.m. The increased hours allow for more programming in the evenings and on Saturdays,
improved customer service, and increased access for working adults.
YAC Attack
In March 2018, the Recreation and Community Services Department, in partnership with the
Youth and Teens Recreation Services (YTRS) professionals group, coordinated YAC Attack, a
biennial teen leadership conference that focuses on empowering youth and teens to promote
change by: 1) encouraging greater involvement within their local municipal government, 2)
developing positive youth and teen special events and programs in their community, and 3)
learning about youth and teen specific health and wellness issues. Participants had the
opportunity to attend workshops in health and wellness, college preparation, and debates on
22
social issues. This marked the first time in the City’s history that this event was hosted in
Cupertino and a total of 255 youth from the Bay Area registered for the leadership conference.
California Stormwater Quality Association Award for Schools Goin’ Green Youth Outreach
The Environmental Programs Division was presented with the “Outstanding News,
Information, Outreach and Media Project” by the California Stormwater Quality Association
(CASQA) for the interagency collaborative Schools Goin’ Green (SGG) program. The goal of the
program was to partner with six middle and high schools along the Cupertino-Sunnyvale
border and implement student-led campaigns focused on litter removal on and around their
campuses, pollution prevention messaging and education, and development of recycling and
food waste composting programs. Accomplishments of the program resulted in 98 clean up
events totaling over 4,100 pounds of litter collected, student developed branding of the SGG
logo and associated educational handbook, and on-going litter reduction around their schools.
EPA Food Recovery Challenge Certificate of Achievement
The goals of this program are to reduce the amount of wasted food from being disposed to the
landfill through source reduction, food donation, and composting. In 2016, these efforts by staff
and our participating business partners resulted in a 26% reduction of food waste entering the
landfill over 2015 levels. Those efforts translate to a reduction of 1,220 metric tons of CO2
equivalent, which is comparable to removing 257 passenger vehicles from the road for one year.
Safe Routes 2 School (SR2S) Program Receives a Grant and Award
Cupertino SR2S was awarded the America Walks Community Change Grant of $1,500 to work
with middle school students. The grant will fund student groups at each middle school campus,
which are creating and implementing their own walking encouragement program. A truly
student-driven initiative. For example, Kennedy Middle School Students plan to host an
ongoing walk to school event that will reward students who walk the most with a pizza party,
candy, and possibly gift cards if funds permit. In addition, Cupertino SR2S was awarded the
“Exemplary City” recognition for its robust Safe Routes to School Program. This award was
part of the Healthy Cities Initiative facilitated by the Santa Clara County Public Health
Department.
Collaborative Food Diversion & Rescue Initiative Grant Recipient
A collaborative effort between Joint Venture Silicon Valley, The County of Santa Clara, and City
representatives across Santa Clara County to engage stakeholders, collect data, and devise a
plan to develop a comprehensive and robustly equipped food rescue project wherein edible
surplus food will be transported safely to underserved areas where people can collect the food
for their families with dignity. This effort addresses food insecurity in the County while
reducing the amount of landfilled organic material that contributes significant amounts of
greenhouse gases to our atmosphere. CalRecycle awarded $313,000 dollars to Joint Venture
Silicon Valley to implement the countywide initiative. The grant will provide paid drivers and a
23
refrigerated food truck that will distribute the food with dignity to people. Stanford University
recently signed on as a partner and food donor and, as of April 12th, the Food Rescue Initiative
received a grant for $150,000 from the Sobrato Family Foundation.
California Society of Municipal Finance Officers Budget Award for CIP Program
While the City’s Operating Budget has received an award for many years from the California
Society of Municipal Finance Officers, this is the first year that we have applied for a Budget
Excellence Award for our Capital Budget. In February we were notified that this initial
application was successful.
Gold Level Bicycle Friendly Community Designation
The City of Cupertino has recently been recognized as a Gold Level Bicycle Friendly Business.
The Gold Level Bicycle Friendly Business designation is awarded by the League of American
Bicyclists to businesses who have shown a remarkable commitment to bicycling. Creating a
bicycle-friendly community and workplace has been shown to improve citizens’ health, well-
being, and quality of life; improving traffic safety, and reducing pollution, congestion and wear
and tear on our streets and roads.
Tree City USA Growth Award Designation
The City of Cupertino celebrated its 6th straight year as being designated a Tree City USA, and
its 4th year of obtaining a Growth Award. The Growth Award recognizes higher levels of tree
care by participating Tree City USA communities. The Growth Award highlights innovative
programs and projects as well as increased commitment of resources for urban forestry. It also
provides an opportunity to share new ideas and successes across the country.
NEW INITIATIVES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2018-19
Economic Development Initiatives
The Economic Development Division will implement initiatives from the Economic
Development Strategic Plan including:
Develop regulations to encourage and allow for smaller-sized incubator and accelerator
space for start-up businesses with shared on-site resources and amenities;
Develop new regulations and policies to allow mobile vendors to provide services in
designated areas of the city as a pilot program; and
Partner with the Cupertino Chamber of Commerce to develop and launch an “I Love
Cupertino” community-focused website to promote civic pride, local events, and local
businesses.
Bike Implementation Plan Projects
The Public Works Department will undertake various bicycle related infrastructure projects in
this fiscal year:
24
McClellan Road Class IV (separated) Bike Lanes – Begin construction on Phase 1,
Imperial to Stelling in summer 2018
Junipero Serra Trail (I-280 Trail) – Continue to develop design alternatives, work with
stakeholders and the community.
Regnart Creek Trail – After several community workshops, bring design alternatives to
City Council for selection and approval.
UPRR Trail Feasibility Study – Develop alternatives in preparation for working with
railroad company.
Stevens Creek Boulevard Bike Lanes – Initial conceptual design and hold community
workshops.
Carmen Road Bike/Ped bridge – Initiate conceptual design alternatives and hold
community meetings, and develop implementation budget.
Upgraded Community Garden
The Community Garden at McClellan Ranch Preserve has experienced a number of challenges
due to unreliable perimeter fencing, insufficient irrigation, pervasive rodents and critters, and
inconsistent garden plot sizes. Recreation and Community Services staff met with the gardener
community on several occasions from September 2017 to January 2018 to solicit input on
important features of a new garden. Staff presented a conceptual design to the Parks and
Recreation Commission in March 2018. The conceptual design incorporates features desired by
the community, current gardeners, and staff while maintaining the same footprint and includes:
more regular-sized garden plots, new irrigation, new fencing, vegetable and hand wash
stations, education areas, and composting demonstration areas. The budget for this work is in
the 2018/19 CIP plan. The current timeline is to solicit bids for the construction of the
improvements is in fall 2018 and to complete the project by early spring 2019.
Neighborhood Events Program
In summer 2018, Recreation and Community Services will present an expanded citywide
neighborhood events program to build a heightened sense of community. The expanded events
will be held at neighborhood parks and will include a summer movie series, summer concert
series, and other events in the future as the program expands and incorporates community
input.
Emergency Operations Plan
An Emergency Services Coordinator was hired in 2017 to prepare the city for any natural
disaster or emergency. In FY 2018-19, the Coordinator will complete a new, updated Emergency
Operations Plan and a Continuity of Government Plan while focusing on volunteer and
employee support and development and greater communication processes.
25
Community Transit Program Planning
The Public Works Department will begin planning for a Community Transit/Shuttle Program.
The City will initiate surveys to determine need and desire for routes to support seniors,
schools, and other sectors of the community currently underserved by VTA routes.
City Council Election
The City Clerk, as the Elections Official, oversees Cupertino’s General Municipal election in
even-numbered years. This entails that the City Clerk or clerk staff meet with each candidate
during the Nomination Period to distribute paperwork and go over in detail the requirements
to run for City Council. The City Clerk is also the Filing Officer for mandatory Campaign
Disclosure Statements in which candidates must disclose funding sources for their election
committees. Cupertino will hold its General Municipal election on November 6, 2018 to elect
three Councilmembers each to a four-year term. The election is for one open and two incumbent
seats.
ActiveNet
Recreation and Community Services will launch a new recreation management system,
ActiveNet, at the end of 2018. The web-based software will allow the Department to provide
more efficient online and in-person transactions for activity registration, membership
management, facility reservations, and point of sale services.
26
Adopted Budget Overview
The Adopted Budget reflects a total City budget of $131.7 million, a decrease of $17.2 million or
12% when compared to the FY 2018 Adopted Budget. The City’s General Fund is adopted at
$77.6 million, an increase of $2.6 million or 3.4% from the FY 2018 Adopted Budget. The
General Fund is balanced through the use of General Fund revenue of $76.9 million and is
projected to end FY 2019 with approximately $9 million in unassigned fund balance that may be
transferred to the 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 (58%).

The graph below summarizes the changes in the City’s General Fund for an eight‐year period:
A total of 201.75 positions are budgeted in FY 2019 with two new positions. These new positions
will: (1) ensure current analytical and technical projects and system implementations are
completed; and (2) assume many already existing duties for Development Services which will
allow current staff to allocate resources to additional street maintenance projects and grant
management due to SB1 and Measure B. The conversion of two positions from Limited Term to
Permanent was also approved based on a continued need for additional resources.

Engineering Technician 1.00
FY 2018‐19 Benefitted Positions 201.75
28
As in the past, staff continues to recommend adding positions only on a limited term basis
unless staff is confident that the needed level of service will be permanent, our ongoing
revenues can support the position long term, or staff cannot recruit and/or retain the staff
resource on a limited term basis. Staff believe that the need for the Engineering Technician will
be on a permanent basis.
Changes to the Budget and Policies
The FY 2019 budget document and process are very similar to those of the past few years.
Below are a few highlights from the budget and process:
Revised Fees and Cost Allocation Plan (CAP)
Significant shifts in the category of cost allocation changes are primarily due to the following
changes. Overall, cost allocation has decreased over prior year due to the correction and
removal of a double‐counting of Strategic Support charges in fiscal year 2017‐2018.
Additionally, vehicle and equipment charges decreased due to the winding down of
replacements for vehicles and equipment that have surpassed their useful life. Furthermore,
I&T charges increased due to additional one‐time project expenses and additional changes in
methodology. Finance and Human Resources experienced additional charges due to the
increased cost and volume of providing related services.
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 June 5, 2018 City Council agenda packet.
GANN Appropriations Limit
The City’s appropriations limit for FY 2019 is $100,538,305, $4,409,818, or 4.7% higher than the
FY 2018 limit of $96,028,488. For FY 2019, the City’s estimated appropriations of proceeds from
taxes, less statutory exclusions, are unchanged as of the Proposed Budget. Data needed to
calculate the 2019 appropriations limit will not be available until mid‐May. 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. This reflects
the prior year limit and will not be updated until the Adopted Budget when the information
required for this calculation is available.
29
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.
General Fund revenue is estimated at $76.9 million in the FY 2019 Adopted Budget (excluding
fund balance). This is an overall decrease of $3.1 million (4%) when compared to the FY 2018
Adopted Budget. This decrease is primarily attributable to a change in the methodology for cost
allocation. In recent years, the City has experienced local economic boom that had driven
strong gains in sales tax, property tax, and transient occupancy tax revenues, which were
partially offset by decreases in development‐related fees and charges given the challenging
political climate surrounding development in the City. With downward trending development
activity compared to previous years, the City’s revenues and expenditures are returning to a
state of normalcy. 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 decrease from the current year
estimate of $9.6 million to $9.0 million in FY 2019. As shown in the chart below, the FY 2019
ending fund balance is estimated to be $45.4 million, or 1% lower than the FY 2018 year end
estimate.
30
As shown in the graph below, the majority of city resources are used to support public works
(24%), non‐departmental expenses (15%), law enforcement (17%), recreation (14%), and
community development (11%).
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 10% of the citywide expenditure budget. The largest Special Revenue Fund accounts
for streets, roads, and transportation. Other funds account for storm drain management,
affordable housing programs, and park development. The Adopted Budget for Special Revenue
Funds for FY 2019 is $13.7 million, which is an $11.6 million decrease from FY 2018 Adopted
Budget primarily due to the completion of capital and the decision to budget BMR grant
funding on an as‐needed basis.

GENERAL FUND FUND BALANCE
31
Budgets within the Special Revenue Funds are funded by $4.5 million in restricted department
revenue, and $8.1 million in transfers, including $6.6 million from the General Fund, bringing
total funding sources for the fund to $12.6 million. This will result in a projected decrease to
fund balance of $1.1 million. The Special Revenue Funds are projected to end the year with fund
balances of $3.1 million.
Capital Projects Funds
The Capital Improvement Project Fund, Stevens Creek Corridor Park Fund, and Capital Reserve
Fund 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 2019 is $17.9 million, comprised of
$7.2 million in new capital projects and $10.7 million in transfers out to the Special Revenue and
Enterprise funds to fund capital projects. The FY 2019 budget is $5.6 million lower than FY 2018
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 2019 is $10.9 million, an increase of $0.3
million from the FY 2018 Adopted Budget. Budgets within the Enterprise Funds are funded by
$7.3 million in program revenue including $75,000 in transfers from CIP. The Enterprise Funds
also rely on $11.1 million of prior year fund balance, bringing total funding sources for the
funds to $18.4 million. The Enterprise Funds are projected to begin the fiscal year with $8.2
million in retained earnings and are projected to end the year with retained earnings of $4.7
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
funds and programs for information technology, workers’ compensation, equipment,
compensated absence, long‐term disability, and retiree medical insurance.
The Adopted Budget for the Internal Service Funds is $8.5 million, which is $3.2 million lower
than the FY 2018 Adopted Budget. This decrease is primarily attributed to the transfer of the
City Channel to the General Fund. Budgets within Internal Service Funds are funded by $5.0
million in department revenue, $1.6 million from the General Fund, and $473,000 from a
combination of depreciation reserves and retained earnings.
32
Special Projects
The FY 2019 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 2.9% in 2017 according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, compared with an
increase of 1.6% in 2016. The increase in real GDP in 2017 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 continuing to hit record lows while over two million jobs were created in
2017. The U.S. unemployment rate stood at 4.1% in March 2018 representing a 0.4% percentage
point drop compared to the March 2017 unemployment rate of 4.5%, 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.
Consumer confidence, as reflected by the Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index,
continued to rise over the previous year and stands at 127.0 as of March 2018, despite a 3.8 point
decrease over the previous month. The year‐over‐year increase is 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
4.3% in March 2018, an improvement
compared to last year’s unemployment
rate of 4.9%. Per capita personal income
increased 3.5% in 2017 over 2016, mostly
due to faster growth in wages. Growth
in the housing market continues with
the prices of single family homes up
8.8% and sales up 5.4% compared to
February of last year according to the
California Association of Realtors
(CAR). Recognizing that the state has a chronic housing shortage and understanding that
inadequate housing has the potential to impede economic growth, state legislators have
succeeded in passing a legislative housing package that has the potential to make a difference.
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 2018 employment level in the MSA was 1.0 million, virtually
unchanged from the March 2017 level. The March 2018 preliminary unemployment rate of 2.7%
34
has dropped from the 3.5% rate experienced a year ago. Our local unemployment rate is lower
than the national unemployment rate of 4.4%.
Housing prices remain strong compared to the same period in 2018. In March 2019, single
family homes sold for a median home price of $2.2 million, a significant increase over the past
year. Property Tax revenue is expected to increase slightly compared to last year given the
increase in the median home price, reassessments of development projects, and additional TEA
property tax share. Construction activity, although strong in previous years, will begin to flatten
out as development projects, particularly Apple Park, begin to wind down.
Key Budget Assumptions
Revenue Assumptions
The FY 2019 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 assumed in the FY 2019 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 contract period.
In addition, budgeted personnel expenditures factor in salary step increases for approximately
49% 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 2019 funding needs. In addition, one‐time projects have been separated out in
FY 2019 to ensure that expenditure trends reflect ongoing expenditure needs. Contingency
budgets are being reduced to 5% 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
Retirement Benefits
Cupertino provides retirement benefits for its employees through the California Public
Employee’s Retirement System (CalPERS). Poor investment returns during the Great Recession
and actuarial assumption changes have increased the gap between the pension system’s assets
and liabilities, resulting in the overall funded status of the system falling significantly. The
funded status as of June 30, 2017 is estimated at 68%, down from 69% over the prior year due to
lower than expected investment returns.
35
As a result, the CalPERS Board has adopted revised actuarial policies to improve the financial
sustainability of the system. In February 2018, the CalPERS board voted to decrease the
amortization period for new pension liabilities from 30 years to 20 years, effective July 1, 2019.
In addition, in December 2016, the CalPERS Board voted to reduce the discount rate, also
known as the assumed rate of return for investments, by 0.5 percentage points to 7.0%. The
result of this change is significant and will result in considerable increases in retirement costs
well above what the City had previously forecasted for retirement expenses as noted in the
table below. The FY 2019 Adopted Budget includes these additional expenses and proposes the
creation of a Pension Rate Stabilization Program (PRSP), a Section 115 Trust that will act to
stabilize pension rate volatility and minimize the impact on the General Fund’s operating
budget from year to year. The FY 2019 Adopted Budget also includes an increase to the City’s
CalPERS Reserve from $4.8 million to $8.0 million to achieve this stabilization through the
following ramp‐up period:
Revenue Volatility
The City’s revenue mix is heavily reliant on volatile business‐to‐business sales tax, which makes
up approximately 19% 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
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.

Budget Guide
OUR MISSION
The mission of the City of Cupertino is to provide exceptional service,
encourage all members of the community to take responsibility for one another,
and support the values of education, innovation, and collaboration.
37
Elements of the Budget Document
The budget is the City’s fundamental policy document. It describes the City’s goals and details
how resources are allocated to achieve these goals. In addition, the budget serves as the annual
financial plan, an operations guide and a communications tool.
The budget guide provides an overview of the elements of the budget document. It includes a
glossary of budget terminology. The budget document includes the following key elements:
1. Budget Message: This section includes the City Manager’s transmittal letter submitting the
budget to the City Council. The Budget Message also summarizes the City’s current and
long‐term financial position, highlights new programs and organizational changes
addressed in the budget and outlines both short and long‐term goals of our city
government.
2. Fiscal Strategic Plan: The Fiscal Strategic Plan Committee was formed to analyze current
funding gaps and present a more accurate financial picture. The committee identifies one‐
time, non‐recurring revenue.
3. Budget Guide: This section includes the City’s Mission and other tools to assist the reader in
identifying key terminology in the budget document.
4. Community Profile: This section describes Cupertino’s history, the economic and city
profiles, community statistics, recreation and community services, education, and additional
areas of interest in the city.
5. Financial Policies and Schedules: This section provides financial information on projected
revenues, expenditures, fund balances and reserves. It includes the Budget Summary of
Funds as well as detailed fund descriptions and information on all revenue sources and
expenditure projections.
This section also includes fund balance trends and detailed revenue and expenditure
projections for the next five years.
Additionally, this section includes an analysis of all City revenues by category. Our major
revenue projections are based on trends, current economic indicators and other agency
input. Sales tax projections are based on input from our sales tax consultants, industry
trends and major company forecasts. Property tax revenues are projected by the county and
adjusted by staff based on known trends. Park dedication fees are estimated based on
current development projects and other taxes are reviewed quarterly and budgets are based
on this trend analysis.
38
6. Departmental Operating Budgets: This section details historical and proposed expenditures
by operating department. The City is organized into seven key operating functions,
including Administration, Law Enforcement, Innovation and Technology, Administrative
Services, Recreation and Community Services, Community Development, and Public
Works. Each department budget includes a summary narrative, financial information
regarding the department and each of its major divisions and personnel information.
Expenditures for employee compensation and benefits are based on negotiated contracts.
The materials categories of expenditures are based on trends. Contract services and capital
outlay are justified each year by the departments. Special Projects include any one time
projects or costs.
Departmental expenditures are divided into the following categories:
Employee Compensation represents permanent full‐time and part‐time salary costs and
overtime.
Employee Benefits represents PERS retirement, health insurance costs, and other benefits.
Materials represents items purchased for repair and maintenance, operational activities such
as books, uniforms and recreation supplies, and office supplies.
Contract Services represents legal, consulting and other professional services, contract
repair and maintenance, utility charges, training and memberships, equipment rentals,
insurance and employment services.
Cost Allocation represents Cost Allocation and Internal Service charges to user departments
Appropriations for Contingency represent 5% of total budgeted materials and contract costs
and is designed for unexpected expenditures and/or emergencies.
Capital Outlay represents expenditures for tangible fixed assets including land, buildings,
furniture, equipment and City vehicles.
Special Projects represent any one time projects or costs.
Debt Service/Other represents principal and interest payments on outstanding debt and
interfund transfers.
7. Non‐Departmental Operating Budgets: This section details historical and proposed
expenditures for the functions of interfund transfers and debt service.
39
8. Capital Improvements: The Capital Improvements section is in a separate document called
Capital Improvement Program that details the proposed capital projects for the next five
fiscal years. These projects are organized into five categories: Parks, Buildings, Streets,
Traffic Facilities, and Storm Drainage. The five‐year budget denotes funding sources and a
description of each project. The City Council approves funding of Capital Improvements on
a total project basis. The project may expend the funds over multiple years.

History
“This place of San Joseph Cupertino has good water and much firewood, but nothing suitable for a
settlement because it is among the hills very near to the range of cedars which I mentioned yesterday, and
lacks level lands.”
When Spanish explorer San Juan Bautista De Anza traveled through California in 1776, he and
his party documented these words about the land surrounding Stevens Creek, named back then
as Arroyo San Joseph Cupertino. However, first impressions can often be misleading.
Underneath the spiny, overgrown bush was a completely different land waiting to be
uncovered. During this time, the area was populated by Native Americans who hunted and
gathered, prospering from the abundant resources the land had to offer.
It wasn’t until 1848 when the first American settler, Elijah Stephens, a blacksmith from South
Carolina, moved to the area—at this time, named simply ‘West Side’ and primarily owned by
the government. After crossing over the Sierra Nevada in wagons, he discovered the true value
of the land underneath the bush, and proceeded to purchase over 300 acres of farmland to grow
grapes and blackberries. Stephens pioneered the way for farmers, which established West Side
as an agricultural hot spot. The land Stephens owned eventually became Blackberry Farm, and
the road, creek, and reservoir were all named after him, although misspelled.
In early West Side, many of the newest advances in agriculture were being developed. Settlers
were drawn to the land because of its rich earth, where they were able to grow products that
competed on the world market. Once the bush had been cleared, they grew grapes, which
covered the West Valley area with vineyards by the late 1800s. By the 1900s, a plant louse called
Phylloxera spread throughout the vineyards, attacking the roots of the grape vines, killing the
grapes and putting a halt to wine production. As a solution, nearly everything was replanted
with fruit orchards. When the fruit trees blossomed, visitors would come to the orchards for
“The Valley of Heart’s Delight” festivals, which celebrated the prosperous agriculture of the
West Valley area.
Apart from the farmland, West Side was primarily known as a cross-roads, an intersection
between Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road and Stevens Creek. This served as a way station for travelers
to pass through while going from town to town. As more people came to West Side to take
advantage of the rich farm land, more family holdings gathered around the cross-roads.
Starting off as just a post office and home union store, West Side’s humble cross-roads brought
many diverse communities, all attracted by the preferable climate and profitable market for
crops.
As more people were drawn to the area around the cross-roads, the orchards were gradually
replaced with modern houses for workers. The population steadily grew, and the face of West
Side changed, progressing to a more modern town. The community wanted to rename the city,
as to not confuse it with other cities, as well as establish a unique identity. John T. Doyle, a
47
lawyer from San Francisco, and writer of historical anthologies on the area, chose the name
“Cupertino” after the original name of the creek.
After the post-World War II population boom, the growing community petitioned for
Cupertino to become an incorporated town. Members of the community were worried that the
alternative to incorporation was to have parts of Cupertino annexed by surrounding cities,
splitting up the community and erasing the local culture. To preserve the rural atmosphere,
lower taxes for farmers, start a local government, and prepare for growth, Cupertino voted for
incorporation. In 1955, Cupertino officially became the 13th city in Santa Clara County.
By the 1970s, Cupertino once again began to undergo dramatic changes. The growing
community attracted several large technology corporations. Lockheed Martin, HP, Intel, and
many other big names established themselves in the Silicon Valley. Apple Inc. was founded in
Cupertino in 1976 and quickly grew into the tech giant the City is known for today.
In the late 20th century, Cupertino and the surrounding areas experienced another surge in
population growth, this time due to the immigration of people from Asian countries.
Immigration laws at the time were in the favor of families looking to move to the Silicon Valley.
People immigrated here for a variety of reasons—whether they were aspiring for career
prospects with major tech companies, or striving for a quality education for their children,
everyone who immigrated here had a common goal: to find opportunities to work hard for a
better life for themselves and their families.
2018 Community Economic Profile
Cupertino, with a population of 64,127 and City limits stretching across 13 square miles, is
considered one of the most prestigious cities to live and work in the Bay Area.
Economic health is an essential component to maintaining a balanced city, which provides high-
level opportunities and services that create and help sustain a sense of community and quality
of life. Public and private interests must be mutual so that success as a partnership is a direct
reflection of success as a community. The cornerstone of this partnership is a cooperative and
responsive government that fosters residential and business prosperity and strengthens
working relationships among all sectors of the community.
Because Cupertino is a mature, 93% built-out city, the City of Cupertino focuses on business
retention and revitalization. Cupertino is world renowned as the home of high-tech giants, such
as Apple, Inc. and Seagate Technologies, and as a community with stellar public schools.
DeAnza College, one of the largest single-campus community colleges in the country, is another
major employer and a magnet for attracting local and international students. The City’s
proactive economic development efforts have resulted in an innovative environment for start-
ups and growing companies to thrive. The City strives to retain and attract local companies
through active outreach and a responsive and customer-oriented entitlement process.
48
Cupertino is excited to have a number of new mixed-use development projects in final
construction phases and almost fully leased, which will provide more retail and dining options,
as well as provide additional housing opportunities to meet the needs of the growing
community.

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. However, the
budget process is an ongoing process that occurs throughout the year and includes the phases
of development, proposal, adoption, monitoring, and amendment.
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
adopted budget is adopted by resolution in June and takes effect on July 1.
The following chart illustrates the City’s budget reporting cycle. Staff reports to Council on a
quarterly basis in addition to the annual proposed and adopted budget. Should amendments to
the budget be required outside of this cycle, staff will bring budget amendments as separate
Council staff reports.

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.
62
Structure of City Finances
Cost Accounting
The City of Cupertino has five internal service funds that account for innovation & technology,
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 utilizes 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 departments in the General Fund were allocated based on a 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 the 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.
The budget is split into nine Departments: City Council and Commissions, Administration, Law
Enforcement, Innovation and Technology, Administrative Services, Recreation and Community
63
Services, Planning and Community Development, Public Works, Non Departmental (includes
budget that are not attributable to any specific division) and Capital Projects. These
departments are further split into divisions 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 Crowe and Horwath, the
City’s Auditors and 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 citizens 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.
64
Fund Structure
For accounting purposes, a state or local government is not treated as a single, integrated 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 2018‐19 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.
65
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

fees, charges for services, and a variety of other discretionary
sources.

Fiscal Policies – 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 Cityʹs quality of life.
Perform ongoing evaluations of existing sources of revenue to maximize the Cityʹs 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.
69
Fiscal Policies – 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. ‐
Structure debt financing to provide the necessary capital while minimizing future debt service
costs.
70
Fiscal Policies – 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.
71
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

Fiscal Policies – 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. Software‐as‐a‐Service (SaaS) contracts are not
capitalizable and are expensed as incurred.
Technology upgrades are determined by the Innovation Technology Department 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 Innovation Technology Department in concert with the user 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 Innovation Technology Department Division (IT), or when
parts or support are no longer available from the manufacturer. Replacement needs will be
determined by IT 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.
73
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
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. IT 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. A common example of
such system would be a telephone system or network. Individual component or replacement
costs are not capitalizable unless they are greater than $5,000 and increase the value of the
asset.
Enterprise Software replacement shall be determined individually by IT and the end users.
Only those large enterprise systems (on‐site or on premise) with an expected life of at least 7
years or a cost of over $10,000 shall be capitalized. SaaS contracts are not capitalizable and are to
be expenses as incurred.
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. IT 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. Replacement 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.
74
Fiscal Policies – Pension and Retirement Funding
Policy
PURPOSE
To establish a policy for the funding of Retirement and Retiree health.
SCOPE
Retirement and Retiree Health costs citywide, across all funds.
POLICY
Fund all current pension liabilities on an annual basis.
Monitor certain health and dental care benefits for retired employees. Funding the liability for
future retiree benefits will be determined by City Council action.
75
Fiscal Policies – Long Term Financial Stability Policies
PURPOSE
To establish a policy for Long Term Financial Stability
SCOPE
All programs across all funds
POLICY
Ensure ongoing productivity through employee training and retention programs.
Pursue consolidation of resources and activities with other agencies and jurisdictions where
beneficial.
Ensure financial planning flexibility by maintaining adequate fund balances and reserves.
Provide for major maintenance and repair of City buildings and facilities on a timely basis.
Provide for infrastructure asset preservation that maximizes the performance of these assets at
minimum life‐cycle costs.
Continually evaluate and implement long‐term financial planning including technology
automation, multiple year capital improvement programs, revenue and expenditure
forecasting, automating and streamlining service delivery, stabilizing and repositioning
revenue sources, and decreasing expenditures and risk exposure.
76
Fiscal Policies – Committed, Unassigned Fund
Balance, and Use of One Time Funds Policy
PURPOSE
To establish assigned and unassigned fund balance and one time use policies.
SCOPE
The General Fund and Capital Funds.
POLICY
To maintain sufficient committed and unassigned fund balance (general fund only) in each fund
for the ability to meet following economic uncertainties:
Economic Uncertainty –$19,000,000 and represents two months of General Fund (GF)
operating expenditures excluding transfers out plus a two year drop in total general fund
revenue of 13% or approximately 1.5 months, excluding the use of reserves. Transfers out are
primarily used to fund Capital Projects and do not represent on‐going expenditures. This
assignment will change from year to year based on budgeted general fund expenditures and
revenues.
Mitigate short‐term economic downturns and volatility in revenues (2 years or less)
Sustain city services in the event of an emergency
Meet requirements for debt reserves
Meet operating cash flow requirements as a result of delay in the receipt of taxes, grant
proceeds and other operating revenues
PERS– $8,000,000 and represents the initial investment into the City’s Pension Rate Stabilization
Program (PRSP). As a result of the significant increase in retirement costs based on the most
recent actuarial forecast, the City elects to establish and fund a secondary pension trust to assist
in stabilizing the potential impact of pension cost volatility on the City’s operating budget.
Annual contributions subsequent to the initial funding are determined by calculating the
difference between CalPERS’ current discount rate and a more conservative rate determined by
the City. This difference is to be transferred to the pension trust and to be used solely for the
benefit of members in the plan.
77
Sustainability Reserve– Cupertino’s Sustainability Division oversees the City’s Climate Action
Plan (CAP), which defines strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and provides
residents, businesses and schools with programs and services focused on energy efficiency,
renewable energy, water conservation, alternative transportation and other sustainable actions.
The City receives rebates for projects that successfully meet the eligibility requirements such as
energy or water efficiency. If the rebates were not initially budgeted, they are categorized as
committed fund balance in the General Fund. The purpose of this reserve is to help support
future sustainability projects/programs.
Unassigned – $500,000 and represents 1% of the total general fund operating budget. This
assignment may change from year to year based on budgeted general fund expenditures.
Absorb unanticipated operating needs that arise during the fiscal year that were not
anticipated during the budget process
Absorb unexpected claims or litigation settlements
Capital Improvement – $5,000,000 and represents average dollars spent for capital projects in
the last three fiscal years. This assignment may change from year to year based on actuals
dollars spent on capital projects and anticipated future capital project needs.
Meet future capital project needs so as to minimize future debt obligations
The City shall not use fund balances/reserves in lieu of revenues to pay for ongoing expenses
except as specifically provided in the City’s reserve policy.

Changes to Committed Fund Balance – All reserves listed in this policy are classified as
Committed Fund Balance under Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement
54. Committed fund balance is comprised of 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. Changes to committed fund balances must be approved by City Council. This
policy will be reviewed annually as part of the budget process.
Replenishment process – Should the City need to utilize any of the committed fund balances
listed in this policy, recommendation will be brought to City Council for approval and a plan to
replenish the committed balance will be developed in conjunction with its use.
Excess – Funding of these reserves will come generally from one‐time revenues, annual net
income, and transfers from other reserves that exceed policy levels. They will be funded in the
following priority order with any remaining funds to be placed in the Capital Reserve:
1) Economic Uncertainty
2) PERS
3) Sustainability Reserve
4) Unassigned
79
Fiscal Policies – 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 1, 2018 City Council agenda packet.
80
Fiscal Policies – 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.
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.
81
Appropriations & Legal Debt Limit Margin
Gann Appropriations Limit
Fiscal Year 2018‐19
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.
82
The City’s appropriations limit for FY 2019 is $100,538,305, $4,509,818 or 4.7% higher than the
FY 2018 limit of $96,028,488. For FY 2019, 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.
Legal Debt Margin
Fiscal Year 2018‐19
The Government Code of the State of California provides for a legal debt limit of 15% of gross
assessed valuation. However, this provision was enacted when assessed valuation was based
upon 25% of market value. Effective with the 1981‐82 fiscal year, each parcel is now assessed at
100% of market value (as of the most recent change in ownership for that parcel). The
computation shown below reflects a conversion of assessed valuation data for fiscal year
2017/18 from the current full valuation perspective to the 25% level that was in effect at the time
that the legal debt margin was enacted by the State of California for local governments located
within the State.

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 generates revenue from 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 2018‐19, General Fund revenue estimates (excluding fund balance) total $76.9 million,
representing a 4% decrease from the FY 2017‐18 Adopted Budget, mostly due to a wind down in
development resulting in less revenue in Charges for Services and Construction Tax. When fund
balance carryover is included, General Fund resources total $45.4 million, which is consistent
with the FY 2017‐18 Adopted Budget. General Fund expenditure estimates total $77.6 million,
representing a 3% increase from FY 2017‐18 Adopted, mostly due to increased costs in salary and
benefits as a result of increased staffing and negotiated increases as part of the third year of a 3
year contract with the City’s bargaining groups. In addition, cost allocation has increased due to
a change in allocation methodology for IT charges from a “per user” to “per device” basis and an
increase in materials due to the acquisition of software. The General Fund’s ending fund balance
is projected to decrease by 2% from FY 2017‐18 estimated ending fund balance. This is due to the
transfer out of $6 million to the Capital Reserve as approved in the Mid‐Year Financial Report.
This section provides information on the FY 2018‐19 General Fund budget including, expenditure
and revenue highlights, transfers to other funds, reserve funds and the financial forecast.

GENERAL FUND OPERATING SUMMARY
91
General Fund Revenue
Estimates for the FY 2018‐19 beginning fund balance and General Fund revenue sources are based
upon a careful examination of 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 2018‐19 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 2018‐19
revenue estimates are built on the assumption of moderate economic growth that continues to
positively impact on the City’s tax revenues, while uncertainty surrounding development
activities reduces development‐related fees and charges.
As shown in the chart below, FY 2018‐19 revenues are estimated at $76.9 million, a 4% decrease
below the FY 2017‐18 Adopted Budget.
The majority of Cupertino’s General Fund operating revenues are generated by sales taxes (31%)
and property taxes (30%), followed by charges for services (12%) and the transient occupancy tax
(11%). The chart on the next page illustrates the sources of General Fund revenue by category.

GENERAL FUND REVENUE SUMMARY
92
The FY 2018‐19 General Fund revenue estimates are discussed by category in the material that
follows.
Sales and Use Tax commonly referred to as just the “sales tax” has two components: (1) an excise
tax imposed on retailers for the privilege of selling
tangible personal property, and (2) an excise tax
imposed on a person and applies to purchases
from out‐of‐state vendors that are not required to
collect tax on their sales. 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.

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 and
business technology spending has driven growth in this sector. Sales tax activity has increased
across most sectors with a decrease primarily in construction. This decrease is attributed to the
winding down of construction projects in the City, particularly, the Apple Park campus
development. Given these trends, the City’s FY 2018‐19 sales tax revenue is projected to show a
more modest increase going forward.
Sales tax receipts took a slight dip of 1.8% in FY 2015‐16 only to increase by 26.1% in FY 2016‐17
due to a onetime $3.5 million payment
related to the close out of the triple flip.
Sales tax revenue is expected to drop
11.7% in FY 2017‐18, returning to
normal levels prior to the triple flip
payment. In FY 2017‐18, initial fixture,
furniture, and equipment purchases
for Apple Park contributed to higher
sales tax revenues for the year but are
not expected for FY 2018‐19. Sales tax
revenues are estimated to generate
$23.6 million in FY 2018‐19, which is up
3.7% from the FY 2017‐18 Adopted
Budget.
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,

PROPERTY TAX
94
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 only $0.02 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 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 6.72% of property tax
revenues compared to 6.44% in FY 2017‐18. TEA will be fully restored to 7% by FY 2019‐20 as
shown in the following chart.
95
Property tax receipts increased 11.5%
in FY 2016‐17. In FY 2017‐18, property
taxes are up 10.6% due in part to the
restoration of TEA funds and
reassessment of value for Apple Park.
Property tax revenues are estimated to
generate $22.8 million in FY 2018‐19,
which represents a 9.7% increase from
the FY 2017‐18 Adopted Budget.

TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX
96
Transient occupancy taxes (TOT) are levied on hotels and short term room rentals 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 upward trend shown in the TOT
Historical Trend graph to the right. TOT is expected to increase by 23% in FY 2018‐19 mostly due
to the new Residence Inn by Marriot located at Main Street, which opened in 2018.
The utility user tax (UUT), approved
by voters in 1990, is assessed on gas,
electricity and telecommunication
services 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.

Utility User Tax Comparison
97
In FY 2016‐17, UUT revenues decreased
by 8.6% compared to FY 2015‐16,
primarily due to the settlement payout
that was taken from UUT receipts. UUT
revenues are trending up 3.8% in FY 2017‐
18. Budgeted revenues are expected to
remain at $3.2 million for FY 2018‐19 and
beyond. This revenue source will be
monitored closely as the fiscal year
progresses.
Franchise fees are received from cable, solid waste, water, gas and electricity 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 decreased by
2% in FY 2016‐17 from the prior year.
In FY 2017‐18, franchise fee revenues
are trending down 10.8% partially due
to the winding down of development
resulting in lower solid waste
revenues. Budgeted revenues are
expected to remain at approximately
$3 million for FY 2018‐19. 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 Park 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 2018‐19, these revenues are
expected to be $1.2 million.

CHARGES FOR SERVICE
99
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. Apple Park and other large developments generated large one‐time
revenues in FY 2013‐14 as well as FY 2015‐16 and FY 2016‐17.
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 were 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 2018‐19, Charges for Services will decrease to $9.4 million largely due to the winding down
of development projects. In addition, revised fees will be brought to Council for approval in June
which may result in increased revenue estimates.

LICENCES AND PERMITS
100
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.
The Apple Park project and large
residential projects (Rosebowl, Biltmore
expansion, Main Street) generated
significant permitting revenues in FY
2013‐14. Since then, activity has slowed.
FY 2016‐17 revenues came in 17.4%
lower and another 15.4% drop was
projected as part of the FY 2017‐18
Adopted Budget due to the winding
down of construction projects in the
City. Revenue estimates for FY 2018‐19
are up 25.2% as building plan review
revenue actuals have been trending
higher.
The use of money and property category is
comprised of General Fund interest
earnings as well as facility and concession
rental income of City‐owned property. The
City’s portfolio is approximately $136.6
million. Fluctuations in this revenue
category are a result of investment
earnings, as rental income is fairly steady.
Investment earnings are a function of the
amount of excess cash available for
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 2018,
the Federal Reserve raised short‐term interest rates by a quarter percentage point to a range of
1.50% to 1.75%. Two more increases are forecasted for the next year.
Investment earnings are expected to begin to rise as the Federal Reserve continues its ramp up,
though modest, with interest rates. Economists predict interest rates will increase further in FY
2018‐19 with an additional two to three increases, resulting in a 2019 projected rate of 2.9%. Due
to recent volatility in the market, revenue in this category for FY 2018‐19 was estimated using a
conservative approach, resulting in 58% decrease.
Fines and forfeitures account for revenues generated from vehicle, parking, and miscellaneous
code violations issued by the County Sheriff and the City’s Code Enforcement officers. Parking
fine revenues have increased with the addition of a part‐time Code Enforcement Officer. Fines
and forfeiture revenue is projected to remain relatively flat in FY 2017‐18. In FY 2018‐19 revenues
are expected to remain at this level with a slight increase due to expected increases in parking
fine revenues.

FINES AND FORFEITURES
102
Intergovernmental revenues are made up of federal, state, and regional grants, including
miscellaneous intergovernmental revenue. Current year actuals may come in higher compared
to budgeted levels due to anticipated State mandate reimbursements. In FY 2018‐19, revenues of
$326,000 are anticipated.
Miscellaneous revenues account for the sale of land and other miscellaneous revenues such as
administrative fees. FY 2017‐18 miscellaneous revenue is estimated to come in about $10 million
higher than budgeted due to refundable deposit revenue associated with development projects
and the transfer in of fund balance from the Capital Reserve back to the General Fund.
Miscellaneous revenue is expected to decline and is projected to be $1.1 million for FY 2018‐19.

MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE
103
General Fund Expenditures
Estimates for the FY 2018‐19 General Fund expenditures are based upon anticipated personnel
and non‐personnel cost increases. This year department budgets reflect actual projected costs
based on the 2017‐18 Adopted Budget, removing any one time costs, and accounting for
changes in personnel costs and any other anticipated/known increased costs in FY 2018‐19. In
addition, most budgets were given additional funds for any unexpected expenditures that are
accounted for in the contingency account. Lastly, per the City’s Reserve policy, an unassigned
General Fund balance above the $500,000 maximum balance will be transferred to the Capital
Fund for future capital and infrastructure projects, after year‐end close and as part of the mid‐
year budget. As shown in the chart below, FY 2018‐19 expenditures are estimated at $77.6
million, a 3% increase above adopted budget from the prior year. This increase is primarily
attributed to increased costs in salary and benefits as a result of increased staffing and
negotiated salary and benefit increases as part of the third year of a 3 year contract with the
City’s bargaining groups. In addition, cost allocation has increased due to a change in allocation
methodology for IT charges from a “per user” to “per device” basis and an increase in materials
due to the acquisition of software. These increases are offset by a decrease in transfers out due
a reduction in enterprise and internal service fund subsidies driven primarily by the
communication fund being moved to the general fund.
*The increase in Other Uses is due to the reallocation of budget from Special Projects to the Refundable deposit
account in Current Planning and Building. The increase is off‐set by a decrease in Special Projects.

GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURE SUMMARY
104
The largest General Fund operating expenditure categories include Employee Compensation
and Benefits (35%), Contract Services (25%) and Transfers Out (15%) as illustrated in the FY
2018‐19 General Fund Expenditures by Category chart.
Personnel Costs
Personnel cost total $27.4 million in FY 2018‐19, comprising 35% of General Fund expenditures.
These costs are made up of salaries and compensation for benefitted and part‐time staff (71%),
retirement benefits (17%), and other fringe benefits (12%), 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
primarily due to a cost of living increase negotiated as part of the labor agreements, and
projected cost escalators for health, dental, long‐term disability, and vision benefits. In
addition, an increase in salaries is attributed to an increase in part‐time staffing.
CalPERS retirement rates are projected to increase 2.7%, as per the most recent actuarial
valuation report from CalPERS. In addition, the CalPERS discount rate is projected to remain at
7%, as the CalPERS board voted in December 2017 to maintain the same rate. Future actuarial
assumptions project changes to the discount rate and these projections are reflected in the
General Fund forecast section of the budget.
105
A total of 201.75 FTEs are budgeted in FY 2018‐19, up from 197.75 in FY 2017‐18. This increase of
4.0 FTEs represents a 2% increase in staffing. The growth in positions is summarized below:
Positions approved as part of the Adopted Budget are summarized below:
Non‐Personnel
Non‐personnel cost total $38.9 million in FY 2018‐19, comprising 50% of General Fund
expenditures. These costs are primarily made up of Contract Services (25%), Cost Allocation
charges (12%), Materials (7%), Capital Outlays and Special Projects (3%) and Contingencies
(2%). Costs were developed based on FY 2017‐18 Adopted budget and actual expenditures in
prior years, and then adjusted for FY 2018‐19 funding needs. One‐time projects were moved to a
separate category in FY 2013‐14 to ensure that expenditure trends reflect ongoing expenditure
needs. In FY 2017‐18, a concerted effort was made to differentiate costs related to special
projects and capital outlays that are required to be depreciated. A special projects series was
created in the contracts section of accounts for any new special projects going forward.
Contingencies totaling 5% of the total General Fund and 5% of Material and Contract budgets
have been established. This contingency level is within the recommended range by the

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 Transfers
Transfers out represent transfers of monies out of the General Fund to various other funds.
These transfers provide resources to the receiving fund to support operating and capital project
costs. For Fiscal Year 2018‐19, budgets have been established for the following transfers.

All Funds Summary
This section provides information on the FY 2018‐19 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 FY 2018‐19 fund balance and 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 2018‐19 revenue estimates are built on the
assumption that the economy will continue to experience modest growth.
Special Revenue Funds
Special Revenue Funds 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 to decrease by $3.9 million dollars, largely due to a reduction in one‐
time transfers in from the General Fund as well as a decrease in estimated development fees
related to housing mitigation and park dedication fees.

Debt Service Fund
The Debt Service Fund provides for the payment of principal, interest, and associated
administrative costs incurred with the issuance of debt instruments for the City’s Public
Facilities Corporation. The budget funds the Corporation’s annual payment of principal and
interest on the City Hall/Library, Wilson/Memorial Open Space and Library Certificates of
Participation (COP) that will be paid off by the year 2030.

Capital Project Funds
This fund pays for the acquisition of major capital facilities and/or construction of major capital
projects.
Revenue
Revenue sources for Capital Project Funds are summarized in the table below and discussed in
greater detail following the table:
Revenue is projected to decrease by $11.1. This decrease is caused primarily by a $10 million
transfer in from the General Fund in FY 2017‐18.
Expenditures
Expenditure uses for Capital Project Funds are summarized in the table below and discussed in
greater detail following the table:
Expenditures are projected to decrease by $14.0 million dollars primarily due to a decrease in
transfers out of other funds to fund capital projects. Capital outlays are also adopted to
decrease $9.4 million due to significant completion of capital projects in FY 2017‐18.
Fund Balance
Fund balance represents a funds savings and is calculated by taking the beginning balance and

Enterprise Funds
Enterprise Funds are set up for the provision of specific services that are funded directly by fees
charged for those 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 $540,000, this is primarily driven by anticipated decreases
in charges for services 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.

Expenditure uses for Enterprise Funds are summarized in the table below and discussed in
greater detail following the table:
Expenditures are projected to increase by $94,000. This increase is driven primarily by an
increase in contract services, cost allocation plan charges, and transfers out to other funds.
Retained Earnings
Enterprise funds carry retained earning instead of fund balance. Retained earnings are
calculated by taking the beginning balance and then adding the difference between revenue and
expenditures to arrive at the ending retained earnings. However, some of these resources are
not liquid and represent capital assets. These monies are generally accumulated to support
capital replacement and/or expansion needs.

Internal Service Funds
Internal Service Funds are used for areas where goods or services are provided to other
departments or governments on a cost‐reimbursement basis. Internal Service Funds include the
Information Technology, City Channel and Website, Equipment, Workers Compensation, Long‐
Term Disability/Compensated Absence, and Retiree Medical funds.
Revenue
Revenue sources for Internal Service Funds are summarized in the table below and discussed in
greater detail following the table:
Revenues are projected to decrease by $960,000. The reduction is primarily due to a decrease in
transfers in from the General Fund as a result of the consolidation of the City Channel fund to
the General Fund in FY 2016‐17. This decrease is offset with an increase in cost allocation plan
charges to recoup funds for additional Innovation and Technology projects in FY 2018‐19.

5-Year and 20-Year General Fund Forecast
In the past, City staff has completed 5-year forecasts as part of the budget process. This year,
City staff has also prepared a 20-year forecast as the City prepares to deal with significant
increases in retirement costs due to changes in the CalPERS discount rate, also known as the
assumed rate of return. These increases in CalPERS retirement costs will also impact the City’s
law enforcement contract, which increases as retirement costs rise. These rising costs coupled
with stalled growth in development in the City are resulting in projected shortfalls beginning in
FY 2023-24.
The financial forecast is a planning tool that helps staff identify important trends and anticipate
the longer term consequences of budget decisions. The forecast is an instrumental tool in
modeling the effects of rising retirement costs, increases in employee compensation, and
revenue performance scenarios.
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, cost projections, which
are 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 change on a seemingly
daily basis and demonstrate the difficulties of committing to a particular prediction of the
future. For this reason, the forecast is updated regularly.
A discussion of both the national and local economic outlooks used to develop the revenue
estimates for the FY 2018-19 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 tax consultant HDL to assist in the
development of sales tax, property tax and transient occupancy tax (TOT) revenue estimates
and projections.
While economic conditions are the primary drivers for economically sensitive revenues such as
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 utility rate changes, energy prices, and
consumption levels. Collections from local, State, and federal agencies are primarily driven by
grant and reimbursement funding available from these agencies. As a result, these revenues
experience no significant net gain or loss during economic expansions or slowdowns. All
revenue projections 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.
117
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. It’s important
to note that the national economy has been expanding since June 2009, as defined by the
National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). The expansion is now in its ninth year and is
poised to become the second-longest on record later this year. According to the non-partisan
Congressional Budget Office (CBO), economic growth is expected to dampen between 2020 and
2026 primarily due to higher interest rates. Similarly, the Federal Open Market Committee
(FOMC) forecasts GDP growth of 2.7 percent in 2018, 2.4 percent in 2019, and 2.0 percent in
2020. The broad consensus among economists is modest expansion until 2020, after which
growth is expected to decrease.
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 (B2B)
sales in the City’s technology sector. Property taxes have also performed well over the last
several 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.
In recent years, large construction projects have generated strong development-related revenue
for the City’s coffers. However, development-related activity has started to decrease. The
majority of revenues associated with the Apple Park project have already been collected per the
development agreement. No other major development projects are forecasted 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. 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 services are
expected to decline from the peak experienced in FY 2013-14 due to the completion of one-time
projects.
As shown in the chart on the next page, operating revenues are expected to exceed operating
expenditures through the fifth year of the forecast. Per the City’s One Time Use and Reserve
Policy, any additional unassigned fund balance above the $500,000 threshold will be transferred
to the Capital Reserve at the end of the year. This year, staff is also recommending funding the
CalPERS Reserve on an annual basis as part of a long-term strategy to improve the financial
sustainability of the City’s pension system and reduce the effect of pension rate volatility on the
City’s operating budget.
118
Revenues
As shown in the following table, the City’s top three revenue sources continue to be property
tax, sales tax, and transient occupancy tax (TOT). All three revenue sources are expected to
grow, although that pace of growth is projected to slow. In the last five years, major
development projects, such as Main Street and Apple Park, were a large source of revenue.

FIVE-YEAR GENERAL FUND REVENUES FORECAST
120
Sales Tax
Sales tax is projected to be lower in FY
2018-19 due to the completion of Apple
Park, then increase modestly in
subsequent years. Starting in FY 2024-25,
sales tax is projected to grow by 0.5% in
the long-term forecast. Business-to-
business (B2B) revenue is the largest
portion of the City’s sales tax base, so
the City’s sales tax revenue is sensitive
to market forces. In particular, the City’s
two largest sales tax sources—both
technology companies—account for a
large portion of the City’s total sales tax revenue. Sales tax revenue is reported two quarters in
arrears thus providing the City with about six months to react should a reduction in this
revenue source occur.
Given the volatility of B2B revenue, which accounts for 67.0% 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 promoting the
general retail and food product sectors. Recently completed development projects such as
Nineteen800 and Main Street are expected to generate new or replacement retail. These
developments should boost retail sales and reduce the City’s reliance on B2B revenue.
Property Tax
Property taxes are projected to increase
by 2% each year in the forecast. These
forecasts are based on estimates from the
Santa Clara County Assessor’s Office.
Again, with little to no major
development projects expected in the
City, the City will not continue to see
dramatic increases in property tax
revenue as it has in the past.

FIVE-YEAR PROPERTY TAX FORECAST
121
Transient Occupancy Tax
In FY 2018-19 and FY 2019-20, transient
occupancy tax (TOT) revenues are
projected to increase due to the opening
of new hotels: the 180-room Residence
Inn by Marriott hotel at Main Street and
the 148-room Hyatt House hotel at
Vallco Park (expected in 2019). Starting
in FY 2022-23, revenues are projected to
increase by national Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) or about 2% per year.
This revenue source is impacted by the tax rate charged on hotels in the City and the occupancy
rate of these hotels. This revenue source is highly correlated with B2B revenue, as revenue is
primarily driven by business travel. Occupancy rates are currently at record levels given our
strong local economy. However, a decline in the economy could have a significant impact on
this revenue source. In addition, this forecast does not assume any additional hotels opening in
the City.
Licenses and Permits
Licenses and permits are forecasted to
decrease in FY 2019-20 due to reduced
development activity. Starting in FY
2020-21, revenue is projected to increase
by CPI. Out of prudence, this forecast
does not reflect any major development
projects that are awaiting approval. If
new development projects are approved,
this forecast will be updated
accordingly.

Charges for Services
In FY 2018-19, revenues from charges for
services are projected to decrease,
primarily due to a decrease in
development activity. Starting in FY
2019-20, revenue is projected to increase
by CPI. This forecast does not assume
any major development projects that are
awaiting approval.
Other Revenue
Utility taxes are assumed to remain flat based on past performance. In the last 10 years, increases
in rates have been offset by decreases in consumption.
Franchise fees are projected to increase by CPI in all out-years.
Other taxes are made up of construction, property transfer, and business license tax revenue.
Revenue is projected to increase by CPI in all out-years.
Use of money and property is expected to remain flat throughout the forecast based on the City’s
current conservative investment strategy and low interest rates.

years.
Miscellaneous and non-operational revenues are not assumed in the forecast.
Expenditures
An in-depth analysis of General Fund expenditures was completed to develop the FY 2018-19
expenditure estimates included in this forecast. As displayed in the chart above, General Fund
expenditures are projected to decrease from $110.7 million in FY 2017-18 to $77.6 million in FY
2018-19 and increase each year in the forecast.
The forecast is adjusted to eliminate one-time additions or deletions and annualize partial year
allocations that were included in the FY 2017-18 Adopted Budget. One-time additions
scheduled to expire in June 2018 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.

projected to grow at a rate of 2.5% per year, which is slightly lower than the presumed rate of
growth by CalPERS. Part-time salaries are forecasted to grow at a rate of 1.5% as they generally
grow at a slower pace than full-time salaries. Increases in salaries are primarily due to
employees below Step 5 progressing to higher salary steps. Five limited-term positions are
forecasted to end in FY 2020-21. The ending of these limited-term positions will result in
approximately $1 million in ongoing salary and benefits savings.
Health Benefits
Health benefits account for about 9% of all personnel costs in the General Fund, mostly due to
health insurance costs. The City pays employees a fixed amount for health and dental insurance
costs, as opposed to covering a percentage of premiums. In October 2016, City Council
approved labor contracts that resulted in a significant increase in the City’s health insurance
contributions. In the out-years, an annual increase of 5% is projected for health insurance and
2% for dental insurance. Cost increases in health above the negotiated flat amount and any
increases in dental are fully absorbed by employees.
While not factored into the forecast, there is uncertainty about the fate of the Affordable Care
Act (ACA). Rate increases have stabilized with the implementation of the ACA. Still looming is
the so-called “Cadillac Tax” which, beginning in 2022, 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
Rising retirement costs are driving the increase in employee benefits. The table below shows the
current breakdown of City employees amongst the three retirement tiers. The majority of
employees in the City are currently covered under the Tier 1 retirement system. Savings from
the lower-cost Tier 2 and Tier 3 plans are not expected to be substantial for another 10-15 years.

Cupertino provides retirement benefits for its employees through the California Public
Employee’s Retirement System (CalPERS). Poor investment returns during the Great Recession
and actuarial assumption changes have increased the gap between the pension system’s assets
and liabilities, resulting in the overall funded status of the system falling significantly.
Currently, the funded status of the CalPERS plan is 68%.
The City’s pension plan has an Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) of $40.6 million and a
funded ratio of 65.8%, according to the most recent actuarial report issued by CalPERS in
August 2017.
A defined-benefit plan is considered adequately funded if its assets equal or exceed the value of
its future liabilities. The funded ratio is the ratio of assets to liabilities. When the funded ratio is
lower than 100%, the plan has insufficient assets to pay all future liabilities. After a thorough
analysis, CalPERS actuaries determined that the retirement system was at significant risk of
falling to dangerously low funded status levels under existing actuarial policies.
In December 2016, the CalPERS Board voted to reduce the discount rate by 0.5 percentage
points. This change will result in significant increases in retirement costs well above the City’s
previous forecasts. As a result of the discount rate reduction, the City’s CalPERS costs are
projected to increase by over 80% from FY 2017-18 to FY 2024-25 as shown in the table below.3
In addition, it is unclear if CalPERS investment returns will be able to meet this new rate of
return and many experts speculate that CalPERS will need to lower the discount rate again in
the future. As part of a budget-balancing strategy, the budget proposes the creation of a Pension
Rate Stabilization Program (PRSP), also known as a Section 115 Trust. The Section 115 Trust
would help the City to offset the costs of any further discount rate changes, address the UAL
earlier than required by CalPERS, and attain a funded status of at least 80% within 20 years.

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, standby pay and wellness credit.
Non-Personnel Expenditures
Non-personnel expenditures in FY 2018-19 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 2018-19 non-personnel base levels in each of the
four years. The average growth rate for the non-personnel category is 3% annually.
Materials costs are forecasted to remain flat in the out year of the forecast as the City’s base
budget is reviewed. It is anticipated savings can be found within existing budgets to flatten out
these costs.
Contract Services costs are projected to grow by CPI in the out-years of the forecast with the
exception of the Law Enforcement contract with the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office. Law
Enforcement costs are projected to grow by CPI plus 2% and by changes in retirement costs per
the current contract terms. The major increase in contracts is driven by increases in CalPERS
that will be passed on to the City.
Cost Allocation is projected to grow by CPI in the out-years but this estimate is conservative as
savings may materialize in department budgets that may drive these costs down.
Capital Outlays and Special Projects are projected to remain flat at $500,000 in the forecast period.
In the last five years, the City has spent about $2 million per year in capital outlay and special
project costs excluding development projects that include pass thru revenue. Costs related to
this category are being reduced as a budget-balancing strategy.
Appropriations for Contingency are projected to remain flat at $800,000 in the forecast period. The
City has historically underspent in this category and the decrease is being used as a budget-
balancing strategy. In addition, use of these funds would require pre-approval by the City
Manager or his/her designee should departments want to utilize these funds.
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 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
127
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.
Fund Balance
The General Fund’s fund balance is projected to increase by $1.5 million over the forecast
period. This is driven by the City’s strong revenues and the City’s conservative approach to
expenditure growth. The City’s restricted fund balance is projected to increase, as the City
proposes to initially fund the Section 115 Trust with $8.0 million from the CalPERS Reserve. In
addition, the City proposes to add $2.0 million of fund balance to the Section 115 Trust each
year until FY 2022-23.

FIVE-YEAR GENERAL FUND FUND BALANCE FORECAST
128
It is anticipated that any unassigned fund balance over the $500,000 threshold will be
transferred to the Capital Reserve, the CalPERS Reserve, or the Section 115 Trust. The budget
proposes the creation of a Section 115 Trust to stabilize the potential impact of pension cost
volatility on the City’s operating budget. The City will be able to use funds from the Section 115
Trust to offset unexpected increases in retirement contributions. Funds in the Section 115 Trust
are restricted and can only be used to pay CalPERS or reimburse the City for pension
contributions.
Budget-Balancing Strategies
The City’s budget has historically been structurally sound with revenues exceeding
expenditures in most years. When revenues have exceeded expenditures, the excess fund
balance was moved to the Capital Reserve per the City’s One Time Use and Reserve Policy. The
current 5-year forecast anticipates a small deficit in the first year that the City anticipates will
not materialize due to salary and benefits savings from vacancies and attrition. In addition, as
mentioned above, the City has historically underspent contingencies. Overall, in the next five
years, projections show small operating surpluses. However, beginning in FY 2023-24, staff
anticipates structural deficits. Staff is currently recommending the following strategies to assist
in balancing the budget over the next 20 years.

On June 5, 2018, City Council approved a budget of $30,091 for the Sustainability Commission program. This

useful, and important information. The Public Affairs program oversees and maintains many of the City’s lines
of communication with residents, including the City’s website, social media accounts, monthly newsleQer,
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.
Service Objectives
Serve as the communications link between the City of Cupertino and residents
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
Increase interest and participation in City services, projects, and activities
Promote City Council and departmental goals, initiatives, programs, and services
Assist in creating better internal and external communication
Enhance the City’s relationship with the news media
Adopted Budget
On June 5, 2018, City Council approved a budget of $549,902 for the Public Affairs program. This represents an
increase of $78,956 (16.8%) from the FY 2018 Adopted Budget.
This increase is primarily due to negotiated salary and benefit changes due to take effect in July 2018 and changes
in position allocations. At Mid-Year, a portion of the Recreation and Community Services Department's
Community Outreach Specialist, a graphic designer, was reallocated to Public Affairs. This
restructuring change will ensure that the Community Outreach Specialist supporting Recreation is up-to-date on
broader community interests, concerns, and sensitivities; as well as ensuring alignment to City-wide branding
and marketing strategies. Realigning the position also allows greater flexibility for both Public Affairs and
Recreation in meeting marketing demands.

The Public Affairs Division is also continuing its Guideline Refresh project. The first phase was completed in
Fiscal Year 2018 and included an updated style guide with clearly defined fonts, a new color paleQe, and logo
elements. It also included new leQerhead and staff report templates, fresh proclamation and press release
documents, City-wide email signatures, and new PowerPoint layouts for meetings. Public Affairs will continue
this project by creating a Grammar Style Guide, to ensure staff members are using a similar tone of voice and
consistent spelling, and help various departments update their marketing materials to make sure they follow the
new guidelines.

Program Overview
The City Manager Contingency fund was established to meet citywide unexpected expenses that may occur
during the year. In FY 2014, 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
5% of each program’s budgeted materials and contract services. A second level of contingency was also
established for unexpected expenditures that may occur over the 5% 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 10% 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.
Adopted Budget
On June 5, 2018, City Council approved a budget of $593,661 for the City Manager Contingency program. This
represents an increase of $52,840 (9.8%) from the FY 2018 Adopted Budget.
The funding for the City Manager Contingency program is determined by taking 5% of all materials and contract
services budgeted in the General Fund, excluding the contract with the Sheriff's Office. The increase is primarily
due to increases in materials and contract services throughout the General Fund.

Program Overview
The Law Enforcement program provides law enforcement, emergency communications, School Resource
Officers, and the Youth Probation Program. Law enforcement services are provided by the Santa Clara County
Sheriff’s Office, while communications services are provided by the Santa Clara County General Services
Administration. The County’s Youth Probation Program, also managed by the Sheriff’s Office, 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
that was added in the FY 2017 school year.
Service Objectives
Protect life and property through innovative and progressive policing methods.
Respond to Priority 1 emergency situations within an average of fewer 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
On June 5, 2018, City Council approved a budget of $12,304,029 for the Law Enforcement program. This
represents an increase of $668,143 (5.7%) from the FY 2018 Adopted Budget.
The increase is due to costs associated with changes in total compensation and retirement rate increases as
outlined in the City's contract with the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office. In addition, the Sheriff's Office has
requested the addition of a K9 to assist the West Valley Cities. Costs for the K9 will be split between the agencies.

Program Overview
The Applications Division is responsible for the development, procurement, project management,
implementation and ongoing maintenance of all enterprise level applications, e.g., Financial Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP), Land Based Management System, and Recreation Software. Additionally, the Applications
Division is responsible for the City's website, Intranet, mobile apps and e-services applications.
Service Objectives
Deliver business solutions that meet customer requirements and integrate within the City's application
framework.
Assist departments in developing streamlined and effective business processes that are easy to
understand and translate into existing and new enterprise applications.
Work closely with City staff and members of the community to ensure that the City's enterprise
applications are relevant and provide value to all the stakeholders.
Collaborate with various city departments to determine that the City's enterprise applications meet the
functional requirements and long-term application implementation strategy of the organization.
Create and maintain effective online and mobile user access to municipal information and services.
Enable and facilitate the use of communication and technical resources by nontechnical staff and
customers.
Adopted Budget
On June 5, 2018, City Council approved a budget of $2,083,188 for the Applications program.
In FY 2018, the City consolidated the Applications internal service fund with the City’s General Fund to beQer
align with Governmental Accounting Standards. This change resulted in Budget Unit 615-32-308 being
transferred to the General Fund under Budget Unit 100-32-308. Compared to the prior 615-32-308 budget, there is
an increase in software that reflects additional modules and functionality for the Recreation & Community
Services and Land Management System enterprise applications. This budget reflects an increase in contract
services for an Application Architecture Strategic Plan and an Electronic Content Management Roadmap. The
increase in compensation and benefits is due to the reallocation of staff time and negotiated salary and benefit
244
changes due to take effect in July 2018. Cost allocation increases are due to one-time project expenses, a change in
allocation methodology for IT charges and costs of services provided by Finance and Human Resources. There
was also an increase in contingency due to an increased number of applications and cost of projects.

Program Overview
The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) program captures, manages, analyzes, and displays all forms of
geographically referenced information for the City of Cupertino. Through maps, globes, reports, and charts we
provide ways to view, understand, question, interpret, and visualize, our City in ways that reveal relationships,
paQerns, and trends. The GIS Program works to help our staff, citizens, business, and development communities
answer questions and solve problems by looking at our data in a way that is quickly understood and easily
shared – on a map!
Service Objectives
Cupertino GIS works to provide and support state-of-the-art GIS mapping services and applications in the
rapidly evolving and expanding field of geospatial technology.
Create, collect, maintain, and distribute high quality, up-to-date, and complete geospatial data.
Ensure that the City’s GIS systems and data are available for day-to-day City and regional purposes.
Share the City’s GIS data and services as widely as possible.
Raise the awareness of GIS.
Integrate spatial technology into Cupertino’s business processes and applications.
Support emergency planning, response, and recovery.
Adopted Budget
On June 5, 2018, City Council approved a budget of $1,107,071 for the GIS program. This represents an increase
of $243,983 (28.3%) from the FY 2018 Adopted Budget.
This increase is mainly due to a growth in software license maintenance, Zonar’s 3D back office implementation,
and a park augmented reality app resulting in an increase in software costs. The increase in compensation and
benefits reflects approved assimilation of 0.5 FTE from Public Works and reallocation of support staff. Increased
cost allocation is due to one-time IT project expenses, a change in allocation methodology for IT charges, and cost
of services provided by Finance and Human Resources.

Adopted Budget
On June 5, 2018, City Council approved a budget of $6,792,256 for the Administrative Services department. This
represents an increase of $812,449 (13.6%) from the FY 2018 Adopted Budget.
The increase is primarily due to negotiated employee compensation and benefits changes due to take effect in
July 2018, the addition of a limited-term Senior Management Analyst, the addition of an Account Clerk I/II at
Mid-Year, and reoccurring costs for part-time staffing. Furthermore, the increase is due to outsourcing the
treasury investment function, the city’s annual required contribution (ARC) for Other Post-Employment Benefits
(OPEB), additional liability insurance, and short-term disability costs. The increases are partially offset by
decreases in contingencies.

Program Overview
The Administrative Services Administration program oversees and coordinates the Human Resources/Risk
Management, Finance, Budget, and Treasury divisions. Staff support is provided to the Fiscal Strategic and Audit
Committees.
Service Objectives
Manage the City's investment portfolio to obtain safety of funds, liquidity and a reasonable rate of return.
Provide short and long-term fiscal planning including the implementation of the Fiscal Strategic Plan.
Perform special projects for the City Manager.
Manage the City's Contract for Law Enforcement Services with the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office.
Manage the City's budget process.
Adopted Budget
On June 5, 2018, City Council approved a budget of $966,135 for the Administrative Services Administration
program. This represents an increase of $175,625 (22.2%) from the FY 2018 Adopted Budget.
The increase is primarily due to the addition of a limited-term Senior Management Analyst to assist the
department with current projects. The projects include CalPERS retirement analysis, efficiency improvements,
budget analysis, and reporting in the City's Enterprise Resource Planning system. In addition, the Senior
Management Analyst would continue to improve a tool to increase the efficiency of budget book publication. The
tool enables staff to collaborate on the book and allows changes in budget or actual numbers to automatically
populate the financial schedules, ensuring timely and accurate financial information. The increase is partially
offset by a reduction in contract services.

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 administers 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 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 5, 2018, City Council approved a budget of $1,201,425 for the Human Resources program. This
represents an increase of $222,543 (22.7%) from the FY 2018 Adopted Budget.
The increase is primarily due to increased part-time salary costs associated with a part-time Human Resources
Manager position that was previously budgeted in the Administration budget of the department under contract
services and increased benefit costs due to a change in the City's Rec Bucks Program resulting in increased use
and costs. Finally, increased cost allocation costs are due to one-time project expenses and a change in allocation
methodology for IT charges.

Adopted Budget
On June 5, 2018, City Council approved a budget of $17,442,432 for the Recreation and Community Services
department. This represents an increase of $994,854 (6.0%) from the FY 2018 Adopted Budget.
The department's net budget increase is primarily due to changes in how the City applies cost allocation charges.
Increased cost allocation charges are due to one-time project expenses and a change in allocation methodology
for IT charges as well as increased costs of services provided by finance, human resources, and building
maintenance. This budget decreases revenues to more accurately reflect projected revenue receipts based on
historical trends and current service levels.
Funding is increased in this budget for new outdoor concert, movies, and fitness programs in neighborhood
parks as well as additional family and teen activities such as a Teen Leadership Academy. This budget includes
decreases in budgeted costs in other program areas, a result of more accurately budgeting expenses to align with
historical actual expenditures and current service levels.

This budget includes one-time funding for the replacement of the department's portable speakers (speakers,
stands, case, soundboard, microphones, cables) used for a variety of indoor and outdoor events. The current
systems have reached the end of their useful life. The increase in compensation and benefits is due to negotiated

304
Hall front desk (nights and weekends) which was previously budgeted in the Innovation and Technology
Department. The increase in cost allocation is due to one-time project expenses and a change in allocation
methodology for IT charges and increased costs of services provided by finance and human resources.

Creekside Farmers' Market, and a new Special Education program. A $20,000 part-time staffing increase will

Program Overview
This program encompasses fee-based youth and teen programs such as academic and enrichment classes,
STEAM and STEM programming, recreational camps, preschool, and special events, as well as special interest
and enrichment classes for adults.

Provide a preschool program, summer camps, and an extensive variety of contract classes for youth,
teens, and adults, while collaborating with the Cupertino Union School District and Fremont Union High

Adopted Budget

represents a decrease of $173,584 (-7.8%) from the FY 2018 Adopted Budget.
The decrease in compensation and benefits is due to a reallocation of existing staff to beQer reflect actual time
spent in this program. In addition to staff cost savings, this program budget includes reductions in materials and
supplies and contract services to reflect improved efficiencies and to address the changing needs of the
Cupertino community. The decrease is partially offset by an increase in cost allocation due to increased costs of
services provided by finance, human resources, and building maintenance. This budget also adds funding for
319
part-time staffing, supplies and materials, and contract services for a new family spring event, targeting
preschool and young elementary school students, and the addition of Parent/Tot classes and a Creative Arts

Adopted Budget
On June 5, 2018, City Council approved a budget of $2,036,109 for the Youth, Teen and Senior Adult Rec
program. This represents a decrease of $170,775 (-7.7%) from the FY 2018 Adopted Budget.
The decrease is primarily due to changes in cost allocation charges and more accurately budgeting the Senior
Center travel program to align with actual expenditures from the trend of the past few years. This decrease is
partially offset by an increase in compensation and benefits due to negotiated salary and benefit changes due to
take effect in July 2018 and an increase in part-time staffing. This budget includes a minor increase in part-time
staffing at the Senior Center to support extended hours of operation and increased rentals. It also includes
increases in part-time staffing for two new Staff Assistant positions and three college interns to assist with new
and expanded Teen programs, such as the Teen Talent Show, Spelling and Geography Bees, and a Teen
Leadership Academy.

Program Overview
Blackberry Farm Golf Course provides a nine-hole golf facility and open space to the community that serves all
ages.
Service Objectives
Increase the golfer base through private golf instruction, family events, high school golf team
partnerships, and marketing tools such as Groupon and Golf Now.
Operate a golf course concession where customers may purchase golfing accessories and golf instruction.
Adopted Budget
On June 5, 2018, City Council approved a budget of $687,939 for the Blackberry Farm Golf Course program. This
represents a decrease of $20,522 (-2.9%) from the FY 2018 Adopted Budget.
The increase in compensation is primarily due to golf instruction now provided under a part-time class instructor
position. This same move has resulted in a decrease in contract services, as golf instruction was previously
provided contractually. A $23,000 increase in materials and supplies will support merchandise concession, which
is now operated by the City. An allocation of $10,000 for special projects will address pro shop facility
maintenance needs.

Program Overview
This program encompasses the coordination and delivery of a wide range of sports, fitness, and outdoor
activities for youth and adults.
Service Objectives
Operate a summer Red Cross learn-to-swim program for infants, children, teens, and adults.
Coordinate spring, summer, and fall adult softball leagues.
Provide sports, dance, fitness, and wellness classes for youth, teens, and adults.
Offer a 5k, community walk, and kids' fun run in the spring.

Offer fee-based gardening programs for youth and adults.
Adopted Budget
On June 5, 2018, City Council approved a budget of $1,598,350 for the Outdoor Recreation program. This
represents an increase of $146,650 (10.1%) from the FY 2018 Adopted Budget.
The increase in compensation and benefits is due to negotiated salary and benefit changes due to take effect in
July 2018. This budget also includes increased part-time salaries for additional staff for fee-based programs,
including aquatic program expansion and the addition of afterschool and weekend Outdoor Education classes
and camps at McClellan Ranch Preserve. Additional evenings of the adult softball program require an increase in
part-time staff as well as general service agreements for umpires. The increase in cost allocation is due to one-
time project expenses and a change in allocation methodology for IT charges and increased costs of services
provided by finance and human resources.

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 emergencies, 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.
Adopted Budget
On June 5, 2018, City Council approved a budget of $266,914 for the Disaster Preparedness program. This
represents a decrease of $89,317 (-25.1%) from the FY 2018 Adopted Budget.
The decrease reflects reduced staffing costs, due primarily to a 0.50 Recreation Coordinator that is no longer
allocated to the program. In addition, due to an oversight identified after the proposed budget was developed,
part-time staff was not included in the budget but will be requested as a First Quarter Budget Adjustment
($37,000). The decrease in compensation and benefits is partially offset by an increase in cost allocation due to
one-time project expenses, a change in allocation methodology for IT charges, increased costs of services
provided by finance and human resources, and increased vehicle and equipment charges due to updated
allocations to better identify the programs utilizing the items.

remove that loan from the expense ledger, then cost recovery for the same period is 62.38%. Revenue from Apple
Park contracts was delayed until the second half of the year.
We will be able to report the percentage of building plan reviews completed within 15 business days and the
percentage of building inspections requested online when the new land use and permitting software goes live.
Adopted Budget
On June 5, 2018, City Council approved a budget of $9,476,056 for the Planning and Community Development
department. This represents a decrease of $7,074,446 (-42.7%) from the FY 2018 Adopted Budget.
The decrease is mainly due to the fact that instead of budgeting the full grant amount made available through the
Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFA), the City of Cupertino will first assess NOFA applications and then
amend the budget accordingly. While $8,000,000 was included in FY 2018 Adopted budget and offered through
the NOFA in FY 2018, only $160,000 was granted and spent.

Program Overview
This program covers administration of the Below Market Rate (BMR) Housing program.
Service Objectives
Contract with BMR Housing administrator on an annual basis.
Prepare and monitor agreement for services between the City of Cupertino and administrator.
Review quarterly reports submitted by the administrator.
Process quarterly reimbursement requests from the administrator.
Provide technical assistance to the administrator in the administration of the BMR program.
Review lot book reports prepared by an independent contractor for each of the ownership BMR units in
the BMR program.
Review and maintain “Policy and Procedures Manual for Administering Deed Restricted Affordable
Housing Units.”
Review and maintain Inclusionary Housing Program Manual.
MidPeninsula below market rate (BMR) housing project.
Adopted Budget
On June 5, 2018, City Council approved a budget of $818,427 for the BMR Housing program. This represents a
decrease of $7,792,297 (-90.5%) from the FY 2018 Adopted Budget.
The decrease is mainly due to the fact that instead of budgeting the full grant amount made available through the
Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFA), the City of Cupertino will first assess NOFA applications and then add
those amounts to the budget accordingly. Although $8,000,000 was offered through the NOFA in FY 2018, only
$160,000 was granted.
The increase in employee compensation and benefits is a result of a position reallocation approved in the FY 2018
Mid-Year Financial Report. The increase in materials is due to $175,000 in funding for a BMR Economic
Feasibility Study to review increasing linkage fees for residential and non-residential projects. The fee increase
would be used to provide funding for BMR affordable housing.

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 5, 2018, City Council approved a budget of $1,158,840 for the Building Code Enforcement program. This
represents a decrease of $190,757 (-14.1%) from the FY 2018 Adopted Budget.
The decrease is mainly due to the fact that $100,000 budgeted for credit card fees was moved to the Community
Development Administration budget (100-70-700). There is also a $67,526 decrease in employee compensation
and benefits due to the fact that a more experienced employee left Cupertino in FY 2018 and a new employee
389
was hired in his place.

Program Overview
The Community Development Code Enforcement program provides enforcement of various provisions of the
municipal code relating to nonconforming land use and building code compliance. These activities include
building without permits, unpermiQed 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 5, 2018, City Council approved a budget of $262,224 for the Muni Code Enforcement program. This
represents a decrease of $48,858 (-15.7%) from the FY 2018 Adopted Budget.
The $42,948 decrease in cost allocation for equipment reimbursement is due to the winding down of vehicle and
equipment purchases as the City completes the replacement of items that were past their useful life.

Adopted Budget
On June 5, 2018, City Council approved a budget of $34,629,686 for the Public Works department. This represents
a decrease of $164,533 (-0.5%) from the FY 2018 Adopted Budget.
The decrease is primarily due to the completion of various special projects and changes in how the city applied
cost allocation charges. This decrease is offset by the addition of a full-time Engineering Technician, increases in
training and instruction, as well as gas, electric and water service rate increases. Capital outlay for the annual
asphalt program is adjusted for SB1 grant revenue.

Program Overview
The Non-Point Source program manages the City’s compliance with its State-mandated Municipal Regional
Stormwater NPDES Permit; provides program and policy development and implementation of state-mandated
activities including complaint response and enforcement programs; conducts annual interdepartmental staff
training, scheduled business and construction site inspections and review of private development plans to ensure
compliance with low impact development (LID); and new Green Infrastructure Plan development requirements.
The program is responsible for calculating storm drain fees annually to submit to the County for collection on
property tax bills, writing an annual report to the Regional Water Quality Control Board to verify and document
the City’s compliance with Clean Water Act mandates; and engaging and educating the public via articles in the
Cupertino Scene, webpage development, visits to businesses and presentations at local schools, De Anza College
and community events. Public participation events include two or more annual volunteer creek cleanup days, a
water quality monitoring day at Blackberry Farm, Earth Day and various countywide collaborative events.
Implementation and annual progress assessment of the City’s eight-year liQer reduction plan are among the
requirements of the City’s Non-Point Source program.
Service Objectives
Oversee the City’s compliance with the Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (MRP 2.0) with regard to
water pollution prevention, erosion control, conserving water as a resource (e.g. infiltration rather than
runoff), and low impact development (LID) via the City's permit application process and conditions of
approval.
Coordinate urban runoff pollution and erosion prevention activities with other departments divisions and
private businesses. Mandated activities include: catch basin cleaning; postconstruction oversight of
permanent stormwater treatment measures installed at private new and redeveloped sites;
implementation of, and annual progress assessments for the eight-year liQer reduction plan; oversight of
construction best management practices during private and public construction; inspection of grease-
generating and wet-waste food facilities and other businesses to prevent water polluting discharges;
complaint response and investigation to protect water quality; and education of staff and local businesses
on best management practices for outdoor storage and activities.
Represent the City on county and regional commiQees to prevent creek and San Francisco Bay pollution,
407
erosion and illegal dumping.
Adopted Budget
On June 5, 2018, City Council approved a budget of $720,785 for the Non-Point Source program. This represents
a decrease of $40,935 (-5.4%) from the FY 2018 Adopted Budget.
The decrease in salary and benefits is due to the position reallocation of staff time to beQer reflect actual time
spent in this program.

The increase in staffing is due to the addition of a full-time Engineering Technician position to assist the City
Engineer with development and permit center tasks.
In addition, the 3-year limited-term Associate Engineer position, funded 25% in this program, will be converted
to a full-time permanent position.
In the 2016 Budget, a 3 year limited-term Associate Engineer position was created to manage and assist with
various new active transportation efforts included in the adopted 2018 Pedestrian Master Plan, the Traffic Impact
Fee development, and the Bicycle Transportation Plan implementation. In the 2018 Budget, the City Council
added additional funding of $3 million to an already aggressive implementation schedule for the 2016 Bicycle
Transportation Plan. This includes implementation of notable projects such as the McClellan Avenue Protected
Bike Lanes, the Junipero Serra Trail, the UPRR Trail, the Regnart Trail, and the Bike Boulevard network. In the
412
fall of 2017, a donation of an additional $1.8 million was made for the implementation of the first phase of the
Stevens Creek Boulevard Protected Bike Lanes. Additionally, with the completion of the Pedestrian Master Plan
and follow-on projects, and the eventual programming of revenues generated from the Transportation Impact
Fee, this position is necessary and sustainable within the organization for the foreseeable future.

There are no changes to the current level of staffing. The 3-year limited-term Associate Engineer position, funded
75% in this program, will be converted to a full-time permanent position.
In the 2016 Budget, a 3 year limited-term Associate Engineer position was created to manage and assist with
various new active transportation efforts included in the adopted 2018 Pedestrian Master Plan, the Traffic Impact
Fee development, and the Bicycle Transportation Plan implementation. In the 2018 Budget, the City Council
added additional funding of $3 million to an already aggressive implementation schedule for the 2016 Bicycle
Transportation Plan. This includes implementation of notable projects such as the McClellan Avenue Protected
Bike Lanes, the Junipero Serra Trail, the UPRR Trail, the Regnart Trail, and the Bike Boulevard network. In the
fall of 2017, a donation of an additional $1.8 million was made for the implementation of the first phase of the
491
Stevens Creek Boulevard Protected Bike Lanes. Additionally, with the completion of the Pedestrian Master Plan
and follow-on projects, and the eventual programming of revenues generated from the Transportation Impact
Fee, this position is necessary and sustainable within the organization for the foreseeable future.

Program Overview
Safe Routes 2 School seeks to engage local schools, school districts, parent organizations, community groups, and
the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office in the mission of reducing Singular Occupancy Vehicle (SOV) travel to
and from school in order to reduce carbon emission and car traffic and increase student safety. The program
seeks to achieve these objectives through education, encouragement, enforcement, and engineering
infrastructure changes in and around Cupertino schools.
Service Objectives
Help to improve the health and well-being of children by increasing the number of students who walk or
bike to school.
Develop partnerships with school administrators, staff, parents, and children.
Encourage and empower more students and families to walk, bike, carpool, and take alternative transit to
school.
Adjust signage and infrastructure surrounding Cupertino schools to facilitate a safer environment for
bicycle and pedestrian travel.
Educate students and families about the benefits of walking and bicycling to school; health, environmental
protection, academic improvements, community building and more.
Minimize gaps in communication between City, School Districts, and Schools and collaborate on efforts to
increase student safety.
Adopted Budget
On June 5, 2018, City Council approved a budget of $446,499 for the Safe Routes 2 School program. This
represents an increase of $299,738 (204.2%) from the FY 2018 Adopted Budget.
Safe Routes 2 School is a new program that was funded by the Traffic Engineering program in previous fiscal
years. Increase in contract services is aQributed to the crossing guard contract being moved from the Service
Center Administration program. Increases in compensation and benefits are due to negotiated salary and benefit
changes due to take effect in July 2018. In previous fiscal years, all materials and supplies were budgeted in 700-
495
702, general contract services. The increase in materials is due to the budget being reallocated to line items where
the expenses actually occur. Increases in cost allocation are due to a change in allocation methodology for IT,
finance and human resources charges.

decrease in transfers out from the Capital Reserve due to the costs of projects and alternative funding available
for those projects.

Program Overview
Transfers represent transfers of monies between various funds. These transfers provide subsidies and resources
and to the receiving fund to support operating, debt service, and capital project costs. General Fund subsidies to
other funds and funding of capital projects are included in transfers.
Service Objectives
Transfers out are evaluated each year to ensure funds outside of the General Fund remain with a minimum fund
balance of 15% of budgeted operating expenses. These transfers are normally for Special Revenue and Enterprise
funds requiring a subsidy due to revenues falling short of full program costs. In addition, the City has
reoccurring transfers to the Transportation Fund of $5.8 million annually for pavement maintenance costs in
addition to funding the total budget costs associated with Annual Debt Payment, Compensated Absences, and
Retiree Health.
Adopted Budget
On June 5, 2018, City Council approved a budget of $11,358,912 for the Transfers Out program. This represents a
decrease of $4,398,822 (-27.9%) from the FY 2018 Adopted Budget.
The General Fund transfers out for FY 2019 are as follows:

community facilities. A breakdown of the capital acquisitions follows:
Increased 90 acres of park real estate to 190 acres, a 111% increase
Increased 26,031 sq ft of recreation building space to 84,460 sq ft, a 224% increase
Specific purchases included:
Blackberry Farm - $18 million, voter-approved debt;
Creekside Park - $12 million voter-approved debt;

Wilson Park and improvements - $5.6 million;
Jollyman Park development - $1 million;
City Hall renovation/improvements - $1.7 million;
Library renovation/improvements - $1.7 million;
New library/community center - $10 million.
In May 2012, the Corporation refinanced its $44 million in outstanding debt to lower the interest rate and save
approximately $350,000 per year in debt payments.

Program Overview
The recruitment and hiring of top quality department heads are 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
There is no budget requested for this program.
The City anticipates closing out the only loan under this program in Fiscal Year 2018 and this budget will be
phased out in future years should no additional employees choose to participate.
