A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO
ADOPTING A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET FOR

CONDITIONS OF ADMINISTERING SAID BUDGET
WHEREAS, the orderly administration of municipal government is dependent on
the establishment of a sound fiscal policy of maintaining a proper ratio of expenditures
within anticipated revenues and available monies; and
WHEREAS, the extent of any project or program and the degree of its
accomplishment, as well as the efficiency of performing assigned duties and
responsibilities, is likewise dependent on the monies made available for that purpose;
and
WHEREAS, the City has independently studied the proposed Capital
Improvements Program (CIP) and has determined that the CIP is exempt from
environmental review pursuant to the exemption in 14 Cal. Code Regs. §15601(b)(3) in
that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this action will have a
significant effect on the environment because approval of the CIP is a budgeting action,
and does not involve approval of any specific project that may have a significant effect
on the environment;
WHEREAS, the City Council, using its independent judgment, before taking
action on this Resolution, determines that the CIP is exempt from CEQA as stated above;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby adopt
the following sections as a part of its fiscal policy:
Section 1: The estimates of available fund balances and anticipated resources
to be received in each of the several funds during Fiscal Year 2019-20, as submitted by the

June 18, 2019
To the Residents of Cupertino, Honorable Mayor, and Members of the City Council:
I am pleased to inform the community that the City of Cupertino’s healthy financial position of
years past will continue into Fiscal Year 2019-2020. 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 2019-2020.
The City’s top three sources of revenue continue to be sales, property, 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, the City conducted a zero-base budget in which all expenses were justified for Fiscal
Year 2019-2020. The process starts from a “zero base” and every function of the City is analyzed
for its needs and costs. The budget is then built around what is needed for the upcoming
period, regardless of whether each budget is higher or lower than the previous fiscal year. I n
addition to increased transparency and more accurate forecasts, this best practice resulted in
total City base budget savings of approximately $3.6 million over the previous fiscal year’s
budget.
City staff continued to include 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
10 years, our projections show healthy operating surpluses despite consistent, yet modest,
declines year-over-year due to expenditure growth outpacing revenue growth.
Expenditure growth is being driven by pension liability costs that are projected to increase by
more than 36% in the next 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 5.9% per year.
15
Executive Highlights
The City, through focus and effort, was able to accomplish a lot together in the past year.
Parks and Recreation System Master Plan
The citywide Parks and Recreation System Master Plan is nearing completion and will be a
blueprint for future development of our parks. Our parks offer green space, respite, and
protected natural resources, as well as facilities, programs and events that support community
celebrations, health, and lifelong learning. The Master Plan integrates the community’s vision
and aspiration into a cohesive strategy to guide development, management, and renovation of
our City’s parks and recreation facilities.
Transportation
The City also continued to move forward with alternative transportation projects that will give
residents a choice when it comes to traveling for work or pleasure. Cupertino kicked off the
McClellan Road Separated Bike Lanes project in May 2019. The City’s first leg of a new network
of separated bike lanes was built on McClellan Road from Imperial Avenue to Stelling R oad.
Cupertino’s separated bike lanes will physically separate cyclists from motor vehicles using
posts and curbs, bringing an extra level of safety to Cupertino’s roadways. In addition, the City
will be pursuing an on-demand community shuttle pilot program, which was endorsed by
Council in April 2019.
Policy and Software Applications to Ensure Financial Safety
In the fall of 2018, the Parks and Recreation Department implemented a new management
software suite which significantly improved service to the public and increased efficiency in
processing and administering activities for the community. In addition to the enhanced
software system, City staff implemented a new cash handling policy for the purpose of
establishing and maintaining an internal control system designed to ensure financial safety and
high-level customer service.
Furthermore, City staff implemented a Debt Management Policy to establish guidelines for the
effective issuance and management of the City’s debt as well as to support the City’s strategic
and capital plan objectives through the most cost-effective means of debt issuance in accordance
with guidelines prescribed by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) and
California Government Code.
16
Community Engagement on Budget Process
The City Council requested that staff work to create a community budget event to educate and
inform our residents about the budget, budget process, and how they might get involved. The
City’s Budget Team took this opportunity to showcase important aspects of the budget like
major funding sources and expenditures on social media through fun, yet informative posts and
videos. The posts also served to market the City’s first community budget workshop. The event
titled “Budget & Bites” as well as the social media take over leading up to the event were both
great successes. Social media hits including views, reactions and comments far exceeded
anything the City had ever seen. This really provided the City a new platform to engage our
residents. The event itself had over forty participants and highlighted the City’s financial
transparency portal and utilized Open City Hall for a practical in person exercise.
Increased Efforts to Work on Cupertino’s Interest
In order to support Cupertino’s interest, the City is working to contract with a lobbying firm to
support the City’s priorities at the State level. The lobbying firm will support the City by
providing the following services:
• Legislative tracking, updates, and analysis
• Legislative strategy development
• Legislative advocacy and lobbying
During the selection process, special consideration will be given to firms with experience with
housing and transportation legislation. Staff plans to engage the City’s Legislative Review
Committee and the City Council to discuss proposed legislation as well as recommend
positions on bills affecting the City.
Capital Investment Needs
Over the last five years, the City’s budget has mainly focused on operational needs such as
staffing, software systems and prudent investments in long term unfunded liabilities associated
with retiree health and retirement benefits. In regard to capital needs, some dollars went
toward major capital initiatives such as improving the City’s pavement condition index (PCI)
and other smaller projects throughout the City.
Maintaining Existing Talent
The Bay Area provides the City of Cupertino with many benefits such as a large talent pool of
highly skilled candidates. However, there are multiple challenges that the City faces in
recruiting and retaining top talent. For example, the Bay Area’s housing costs are among the
most expensive in the country, making housing options difficult for employees. Additionally,
Cupertino is in direct competition with other government agencies and private sector
companies such as Apple Inc, Google, and Facebook. Furthermore, with PEPRA (Public
Employees’ Pension Reform Act) that took effect for all new employees hired after December
17
31, 2012, retirement benefits which historically attracted people to government have been
reduced. In anticipation of PEPRA going into effect, the City decided to adopt a new retirement
tier. What seemed like a prudent move at the time has further impacted the City’s ability to
recruit and retain top talent. Experienced personnel coming to the City of Cupertin o will in
most cases have a significantly reduced retirement benefit coming to Cupertino unless they’ve
been employed with Cupertino in the past in tier 1.
When we look to retention of employees a few issues are at play. First, other cities in the area
do have the ability to hire and place classic employees into tier 1. Second, Cupertino is a transit
desert with no easy access to high-speed transit such as BART or Caltrain, making the commute
to Cupertino difficult, with little to no alternatives. Lastly, instability at top leadership levels
over the past year creates a level of uncertainty within the organization.
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 plan, 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.
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 $4.8 million to $8 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
18
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.
In Fiscal Year 2018-2019, the City formally established a Section 115 Pension Trust (Pension Rate
Stabilization Program) and used the PERS reserve to fund the trust with an initial investment of
$8,000,000. The purpose of this trust is to mitigate potential impacts of pension rate volatility on
the General Fund’s operating budget. Despite these efforts to improve the City’s posture in the
face of the pension issue, these costs will become increasingly unaffordable without growing
revenues through sales, property, and other taxes that have yet to be approved by the
electorate.
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, land management application, a
Recreation software, an Asset Management module; along with transparency platforms like
OpenGov.
Citizen engagement, always a priority with Cupertino staff, will continue to be enhan ced
through the Open City Hall application. This application is utilized to inform and involve
citizens by sharing information more effectively and collecting broader resident feedback.
Community engagement is also improved through the use of social media platforms and
provides community members with a view into City projects and processes while also
providing an opportunity for feedback.
Conclusion
The FY 2019-20 Adopted Budget is a balanced and fiscally responsible spending plan. Although
the growth of the City’s expenditures is forecasted to outpace the growth of its revenues,
19
through fiscally responsible initiatives in recent years, the City is well-positioned to make
decisions that ensure continued financial stability in the future. Lastly, I would like to thank the
hard work and collaboration from City employees and the leadership and direction of the City
Council that made this operating budget possible.
Respectfully submitted,
Deborah L. Feng
City Manager

Notable Accomplishments and New Initiatives
NOTABLE ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN FISCAL YEAR 2018‐19
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, and 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.
Tree City USA Growth Award Designation
The City of Cupertino celebrated its 7th straight year as being designated a Tree City USA, and
its 5th 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.
DeAnza Boulevard Medians
The Public Works Department completed work on a project to renovate the De Anza median
islands between Bollinger Road and Rodrigues Ave. The project consisted of replacing the
existing arbors, reducing the height of the berm and installing water efficient irrigation facilities
in order to reduce water use, and replacing the ground level planting with drought tolerant,
California native plants.
McClellan Road Sidewalk Infill
The Public Works Department completed a sidewalk infill project on McClellan Road, between
Byrne Ave and Homestead Rd. The project involved filling in unimproved frontage gaps in
order to provide a more continuous sidewalk to enhance pedestrian safety for residents in the
area and students walking to Monta Vista High School, Lincoln Elementary and Kennedy
Middle School. The project involved extensive neighborhood outreach and coordination, and in
some cases relied upon the donation of land from adjacent property owners in order to
complete the project.
21
Various Landscaping Renovation projects
The Public Works Trees and Right of Way division undertook numerous projects to enhance
and renovate landscaping with the public right of way. The medians along Vicksburg Dr and
the southwest corner of Lazaneo Dr and Vista Dr were both renovated by removing cobbles and
other hardscape features and replacing them with drought tolerant plants, thus enhancing
stormwater quality and beautifying the areas. The existing landscaping on E. Homestead Road,
between DeAnza Blvd and Bluejay Dr was replaced with drought tolerant plants, and the
irrigation systems were updated with drip irrigation to enhance water conservation efforts.
McClellan Road Class IV (separated) Bike Lanes Phase 1
The Public Works Capital Improvement Program will begin construction of the McClellan Road
Bicycle Boulevard Phase 1. This project consists of constructing separated bike lanes along
McClellan Road, from Imperial Ave to just east of Stelling Road. Modifications and
enhancements to the Bubb Rd/McClellan Ave and Stelling Rd/ McClellan Ave traffic signals will
also occur. The project will begin construction in earnest at the end of the school season and
will continue through the summer. In order to minimize impacts to residents and school
commuters, the project is anticipated to be complete prior to the start of school next year.
18‐month Bicycle Share Pilot Program
An 18‐month bike share pilot program has been approved and allows bike sharing vendors to
operate within Cupertino. City will be accepting applications from qualified vendors and will
be monitoring the public e‐assist bicycle fleet through FY19‐20.
City Receives “Volunteer of the Year” Award
On December 3, 2018, the City received one of the Santa Clara Valley Water District’s
“Volunteer of the Year” awards for showing outstanding performance in taking on a leadership
role in coordinated creek cleanups in Santa Clara County. The award recognized the City of
Cupertino for removing trash and recyclables from our creeks as well as regularly drawing in
over 90 community volunteers of all ages. Cupertino’s Volunteer Creek Cleanup events are held
on the third Saturday of May and September from 9am to noon.
Recognition of the Safe Routes 2 School (SR2S) Program
As part of the City of Cupertino’s Volunteer Fair, Cupertino Safe Routes to School was
recognized by Assembly member Marc Berman, and Senator Jim Beall, for Safe Routes to
School’s commitment and dedication to serving the community. Specifically, Assembly member
Berman thanked the Cupertino Safe Routes to School team for the opportunities they have
created and the time and services that the program has dedicated to bettering the community.
Senator Beall recognized Cupertino Safe Routes to School for the program’s commitment to
going above and beyond to serve Cupertino.
22
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) Builder Module
During FY 2018‐19, the City’s Finance staff began implementation of its CAFR Builder module.
This module will assist in the compilation of the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report. While system implementations require significant staff resources, this reporting module
will provide opportunities for efficiency as well as cost‐savings in the production of the report.
Investment Management Services
Through a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) process, the Finance Division engaged Chandler
Asset Management for investment management services in FY 2018‐19. Under the City’s
Treasurer’s direction, Chandler Asset Management will be managing the City’s investment
portfolio with three key principles in mind: safety to ensure the preservation of capital in the
overall portfolio, provide sufficient liquidity for cash needs and a market rate of return
consistent with the investment program. The performance objective for the City’s portfolio is to
earn a total rate of return through a market cycle that is equal to or above the return on the
benchmark index. In order to achieve these objectives, the portfolio invests in high quality fixed
income securities consistent with the City’s investment policy and California Government
Code.
Budget Community Workshop
The City’s Budget Team held a Community Workshop in the spring of FY 2018‐19 to provide an
overview on the City’s budget process. Promoted through social media outreach and
engagement, this event also included an interactive exercise where participants were provided
the opportunity to balance their own version of the City’s budget. This workshop was also
available to attendees through Facebook live streaming and Open City Hall.
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 completed 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.
Audio/Visual Environments
The Innovation and Technology Department completed a two‐year total rebuild of the City’s
compute and audio visual (AV) environments. Areas of attention included cybersecurity,
server/storage environments, wired and wireless networks, phone system, City Hall A/V
Control Room, Community Hall AV elements and conference room within City Hall.
Additionally, business continuity and disaster recovery technologies were significantly
enhanced. Projects include:
Hyperconverged solution for the City’s server and storage environment
23
Replacement of all wired switches and wireless access points. Extended the network to
include Monta Vista Preschool and the Teen Center
Cybersecurity – total replacement of all security components from endpoints, firewalls,
and virtual LANs. Started a citywide mandatory cybersecurity training and added staff
photos to all internal mail as an additional security step
Replaced twenty‐year old phone system with a Voice over IP phone system
Replaced all large scale multi‐function printers throughout City facilities
Complete rebuild to the City’s Teen Center computer environment
Application Upgrades
The Innovation and Technology Department replaced, enhanced, or modified a majority of the
City’s software applications including:
ActiveNet – Parks and Recreation application for class registration and facilities rental
Accela – Land Management System that includes urban planning, permitting and
building inspections. Accela is the main application for the Community Development

o Annual Upgrade
24
Department Name Change
The realignment of Code Enforcement, Emergency Management, Block Leaders/Neighborhood
Watch and Leadership Training from the Recreation and Community Services Department last
fall has allowed staff to focus on a more traditional Parks & Recreation mission. As a result,
effective May 1, 2019, the name of the department will revert to the Cupertino Parks and
Recreation Department. It is our hope that this will clear up confusion in the community over
the name as well as maintain alignment with the Parks & Recreation Commission’s name.
New Recreation Software
On October 2, 2018, the Recreation Department went “Live” with a new Recreation
Management Software Suite. Support for the current management software, “CLASS,” is soon
to be discontinued, necessitating the change. The new system will significantly improve service
to the public and create ease on the staff side. All activity registration, membership
management, facility reservations, and Point of Sale transactions are now integrated into one
system. In addition to increased functionality, staff will benefit from improved reporting
capabilities.
One of the greater improvements for the department and customers is that all of our facilities
are now on the same system and in real time. Previously, we had been working out of four
different systems. On the public side, community members can now enroll in memberships,
reserve picnic spaces, and register for classes online without staff assistance. Staff expects this
will result in a greater online presence for registration.
Implementation of any major recreation software system requires a phased approach, and staff
will continue to implement new and different parts of the system over the next year. This
project had many champions and was a seamless transition for our community due to the
tremendous efforts of staff from the Parks and Recreation Department and the Innovation and
Technology Department.
Neighborhood Events
The “mobile” Neighborhood Events program was introduced as a pilot program with the goal
of offering events at neighborhood parks throughout the city. The program operated from June‐
September 2018 and offered activities at 11 different sites, including two partner sites. The
program included themed activities, 9 Movies, 15 Concerts, 12 Free Fitness in the Parks classes
(Zumba, Qi Gong and Yoga), 4 Music/Art in the park Parent/Child classes. It also included
dance lessons, music lessons, art classes and recreational activities for all ages. Attendance was
slightly under 6,000. We also offered events highlighting celebrity guests, non‐profits, and local
partnerships. This program fulfilled our mission to enhance the quality of people’s lives
through recreational, educational, and cultural experiences.
25
Teen Offerings
Teen programs were enhanced to address the teen stress levels in Cupertino through
innovative, collaborative and educational approaches while addressing community livability
amongst the teens.
Bobatino ‐ the Teen Commission and the Mayor’s Office organized Bobatino, a youth and
teen event which provided Cupertino students ages 12‐18 a platform to socialize with
friends and enjoy a day out with various activities while drinking free milk tea provided
by the City. Bobatino was presented as a way for teens to have a respite from daily
stresses and discover mental health resources. Event partners included Main Street, TP
Tea, Café LaTTea, Kaiser Permanente, San Jose Sharks, Adolescent Counseling Services,
the LGBTQ Youth Space, DeAnza College, McClellan Ranch Preserve, and YES! For
Schools Bay Area. Activities for teens included a Chill on the Hill space, Caffeinated
Letters, a Slime Station, Sharks Slapshot Booth, and free Boba milk tea. The event saw
700 youth and teens coming from various Cupertino High Schools.
Lawson Middle School‐Satellite Teen Program ‐ From October 15th – November 8th, the Parks
and Recreation Department and Lawson Middle School partnered in a mobile
recreational pilot program to bring the Cupertino Teen Center to teens in a space that is
easily accessible and familiar. Recreation staff brought various activities and games to
Lawson Middle School with the goal of introducing youth to recreational activities that
are stress‐reducing, engaging, and fun. The space is also meant to provide a haven for
teens who may not have the ability to participate in afterschool programs.
Youth Activity Board ‐ The YAB was formally created in September 2018 with the purpose
of creating activities for youth and teens and encouraging them to de‐stress and
socialize. To achieve their vision, the YAB will work with Recreation staff to develop
ideas, implement youth and teen programs, and encourage youth and teen involvement
in their community.
Volunteers, Wellness, and Collaboration
The Senior Center strives to create a culture of collaboration and engages the community at all
levels—this can be noted in the diverse program offerings at the facility. The Cupertino Senior
Center celebrated the commitment of its 230 volunteers who have devoted 24,750 hours to
serving the community through various volunteer opportunities at the Senior Center. The Smart
Living and Wellness Health Fair provided valuable information and services to the 50+
community on how best to maintain a healthy and independent lifestyle, coordinated by our
own Case Management team. Lastly, connections were made as local youth performed musical
classics from the past and present. These innovative services for the 50+ population continue to
respond to our changing community needs.
26
Economic Development Strategic Plan
As part of the Economic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP) adopted by Council in October
2016, the EDSP is framed around eleven core strategies to strengthen existing businesses, foster
a healthy economy, and maintain a healthy fiscal position. In early 2018, three specific project
initiatives were started to implement the identified strategies:
Mobile Vendors Regulations (Strategy 9 Action 9.4 & 9.5). Develop new regulations and
policies to allow mobile vendors to provide their services in designated areas of the City.
Incubator and Co‐working Space Use (Strategy 4 Action 4.1). Allow for and encourage
creation of space for smaller‐sized start‐up businesses with shared on‐site resources and
amenities.
Innovation District Vision Plan (Strategy 3 and 3.4). Develop a long‐term vision for
transforming the Bubb Road Special Area into a vibrant district that expands
opportunities for emerging and small businesses and supports significant pedestrian
activity and associated amenities.
With public outreach and further direction from Council, City staff will be completing the
Plan’s core strategies which is anticipated by Winter 2020.
NEW INITIATIVES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019‐20
Internal Audit Function
The Finance Division will be conducting a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) for an internal
audit function. This function will assist the City in accomplishing its objectives by brining a
systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management,
control, and governance processes.
Workforce Planning
Administration and Human Resource Divisions staff are implementing a Workforce Planning
program to use data in the City’s enterprise resource planning system and several City
documents such as the budget, Capital Improvement Program, and City Work Program to
identify key positions needed and how to attract, retain, and train staff to ensure the availability
of those positions when needed.
Parks and Recreation Marketing Plan and Program Review
Parks and Recreation staff will be implementing a plan to place a greater emphasis on business
functions within the Parks and Recreation Department to include completion of a program
review of programs and activities offered as well as a marketing plan. A contract for service
was awarded in 2018 and is slated for completion in the winter of 2019.
27
Recreation Activities and Events
Kids Challenge, an obstacle course/parkour team challenge that will emphasize fitness for
children; Corridor Stroll—community members will stroll along the Stevens Creek Corridor for
an evening of leisurely activities, entertainment and wine/food pairings; Winter Ball, a family
friendly dance for youth including meal, crafts, and of course music and dancing; Cultures of the
World—a youth and family event that will showcase the diversity of the world we live in by
encouraging community participation and inclusion. The Senior Center will offer a Classics
Concert Series, Asian film series and a 50+ Art show.
Blacksmith Shop at McClellan Ranch
Our newly renovated replica of Charlie Baers Blacksmith Shop will begin offering
demonstrations, workshops, classes and new opportunities for volunteering.
Emergency Services Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP)
In FY 2018‐19, an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) was completed and served as a precursor
to the COOP. Staff will be retaining a contractor to provide service to establish and complete
the COOP for purposes of resuming and continuing operations of the City after a major
emergency. The project is anticipated to be completed in the summer of 2020.
Public Safety Surveillance Support
Innovation and Technology and City Manager’s Office will be working with Santa Clara
County Sheriff’s Office to update and replace the City’s currently antiquated closed‐circuit
television (CCTV) system. Staff will be implementing surveillance cameras for safety and anti‐
crime practices for the benefit of both community members and City staff.
Enterprise Content Management (ECM)
The Innovation and Technology Department began a major planning exercise for Enterprise
Content Management in FY 2018‐19 that will be carried out during FY 2019‐20. The City prides
itself on its paperless initiative and this is one more step in ensuring data is captured in an
efficient and effective manner. Innovation and Technology will continue to enhance the City’s
access to information over the web providing access to more services and information. Data
transparency, along with data analytics will be improved to allow for data driven decision
making.
Lawn Buster Drought Tolerant Planting Pilot
The City’s Manager’s Office has begun the process to develop a program that allows residents
to easily elect water‐wise turf conversion, including pre‐set landscape plans, pre‐approved
contractors, and fixed prices. Staff are working on a Request for Quotation (RFQ) to identify
suitable partners, program design and firms prior to formally launching the program in the
summer or fall of 2019.
28
Shuttle Bus Pilot Program
Pursuant to City Council direction, staff will be pursuing a shuttle bus pilot program in FY
2019‐20. Upon authorization of funding and completion of the Request for Proposal (RFP)
process, City staff will begin work on system planning, which includes details such as fares, fare
programs, system area, operations, etc. Staff anticipates that after an agreement is negotiated,
service would begin within a three‐month period, with service as early as summer 2019. Staff
will monitor the effectiveness of the program and will provide Council updates on the shuttle
with information including overall ridership at the midpoint of the pilot, and again several
months prior to the end of the pilot to discuss ongoing shuttle service.

Adopted Budget Overview
The Adopted Budget reflects a total City budget of $150.5 million, an increase of $18.8 million,
or 14.3%, when compared to the FY 2019 Adopted Budget. The City’s General Fund is budgeted
at $80.1 million, representing an increase of $2.5 million, or 3%, when compared to the FY 2019
Adopted Budget. The General Fund is balanced through the use of General Fund revenue of
$87.1 million and is projected to end FY 2020 with approximately $12.8 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 FY19‐20 Mid‐Year Financial Report The transfer is not reflected in
the Adopted Budget.
As shown in the chart below, the Adopted Budget’s largest fund is the General fund at 53%.

The graph below summarizes the changes in the City’s General Fund for a five‐year period:
A total of 202.75 positions are budgeted in FY 2019‐20 with four new positions. These new
positions will: (1) ensure segregation of duties and internal control activities exist and are
performed appropriately and timely; (2) achieve staff continuity and administrative efficiencies
through a conversion of two part‐time staff to one full‐time staff; (3) provide sufficient resources
for tree maintenance; and (4) assist with engineering and project management over Bicycle and
Pedestrian Plan projects.

In the past, staff recommended adding positions only on a limited term basis unless staff was
confident that the needed level of service would be permanent, or ongoing revenues could
support the position long term, or staff could not recruit and/or retain the staff resource on a
limited term basis. Staff believes that the need for both positions will be on a permanent basis.
Changes to the Budget and Policies
City staff performed a zero‐base budget for the FY 2020 budget document in which all expenses
were justified and every function within the City was analyzed for its needs and costs. Below
are a few highlights from the budget and process:
Revised Fees and Cost Allocation Plan (CAP)
While the Cost Allocation Plan remained relatively consistent over the previous fiscal year, a
change in methodology was implemented in the FY 2019‐20 model. Costs attributable to
grounds and facilities are now being charged out for more equitable and reasonable cost
sharing among service providers in the City.
Additionally, City Council approved the fee schedules effective for FY 2019‐20 on April 16,
2019. The increases to the various fee schedules are estimated to result in increased revenues of
approximately $215,000 over the previous fiscal year.
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 will
be available on the City website as part of the May 14, 2019 City Council agenda packet.
GANN Appropriations Limit
The City’s appropriations limit for FY 2019‐20 is $104,753,580, $4,215,275, or 4.2% higher than
the FY 2018‐19 limit of $100,538,305. 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. For FY 2019‐20, the City’s estimated appropriations of proceeds
from taxes, less statutory exclusions, do not appear to exceed the limit and are not expected to
present a constraint on current or future budget deliberations.
Revised Community Funding Policy
The first Community Funding policy was adopted by City Council in FY 2012‐13, and the most
recent policy was adopted as part of the FY 2015‐16 Adopted Budget. At the Budget Adoption
hearing in June 2018, City Council requested that the Community Funding Program be updated
in order to assure that all applications received due consideration and that City Council is
provided with all information necessary to make final funding decisions. At that meeting, City
Council requested that the Parks and Recreation Commission evaluate all grant applications,
and provide funding recommendations to Council for consideration. All grant applications are
33
first reviewed by the Administrative Services Department for compliance with eligibility
criteria. As a result of these changes, the Parks and Recreation Commission, along with staff,
have made further revisions to the Policy for Council consideration as part of the FY 2019‐20
budget process.
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 $87.1 million in the FY 2020 Adopted Budget. This is an
overall increase of $10.2 million (13.3%) when compared to the FY 2019 Adopted Budget. 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. While the General Fund’s revenues and expenditures
continue to return to a trend of normalcy, FY 2020 is projected to experience growth in its
primary revenue generators. Sales tax, property tax, transient occupancy tax are projected to
increase $2.0 million (8%), $1.9 million (9%), and $1.4 million, (17%), respectively. Moderate
local economic growth, continued assessed property value growth, new hotels opening within
the City, as well as short‐term rental collections are the primary factors causing the increase. A
change in methodology for allocating internal charges for facilities and grounds is also
contributing $3.8 million to the increase. The following chart shows four years of total revenue,
expenditures and changes to fund balance for the General Fund:
34
General Fund Revenue, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance
The General Fund unassigned fund balance is projected to increase from the current year
estimate of $5.8 million to $12.8 million in FY 2020. As shown in the chart below, the FY 2020
ending fund balance is estimated to be $46.6 million, or 18% higher than the FY 2019 year‐end
estimate. This is primarily attributable to significant appropriation carryovers from FY 2018
that are projected to be spent in FY 2019.
As shown in the graph below, the majority of city resources are used to support Public Works
(25%), Non‐Departmental expenditures (13%), Law Enforcement (18%), Parks and Recreation
(11%), and Community Development and Planning (13%).

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 7% 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 2020 is $9.8 million, which is a $3.9 million decrease from FY 2019 Adopted
Budget primarily due to a shift from a capital improvement to capital maintenance approach for
the City’s streets.
Budgets within the Special Revenue Funds are funded by $10.6 million in restricted department
revenue, and $1.3 million in transfers, bringing total funding sources for the fund to $11.9
million. This will result in a projected increase to fund balance of $2.1 million. The Special
Revenue Funds are projected to end the year with fund balances of $13.7 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 2020 is $37.9 million. The FY 2020
budget is $20.0 million higher than FY 2019 Adopted Budget appropriations due to new capital
projects, namely the Library Expansion Room, All Inclusive Play Area, and others detailed in
the FY 2020 Capital Improvement Program Budget.
36
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 2020 is $11.5 million, an increase of $0.6
million from the FY 2019 Adopted Budget. Budgets within the Enterprise Funds are funded by
$6.0 million in program revenue and $3.5 million in transfers from the General Fund. The
Enterprise Funds also rely on $7.1 million of prior year fund balance, bringing total funding
sources for the funds to $16.6 million. The Enterprise Funds are projected to begin the fiscal year
with $7.1 million in retained earnings and are projected to end the year with retained earnings
of $5.1 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 $7.9 million, which is $0.6 million lower
than the FY 2019 Adopted Budget. Budgets within Internal Service Funds are funded by $4.1
million in department revenue, $3.5 million from the General Fund, and $473,000 from a
combination of depreciation reserves and retained earnings. The Internal Service Funds are
projected to begin the fiscal year with $4.7 million in retained earnings and are projected to end
the year with retained earnings of $4.9 million.
Special Projects
The FY 2020 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 on the next page. 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 2.2% in 2018 according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, compared with an
increase of 2.9% in 2017. The increase in real GDP in 2018 primarily reflected positive
contributions from personal consumption, local and federal government spending, and exports
that were partially offset by contractions in residential gross private domestic investment as
well as non‐residential structures.
Unemployment is continuing to hit
record lows while over two and a
half million jobs were created in
2018. The U.S. unemployment rate
stood at 3.8% in March 2019
representing a 0.3% percentage
point drop compared to the March
2018 unemployment rate of 4.1%,
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,
decreased over the previous year and stands at 124.1 as of March 2019, including a 7.3 point
decrease over the previous month. The year‐over‐year decrease is the result of consumers
having to weather volatility in the financial markets, a partial government shutdown and a
volatile jobs report. Despite these dynamics, consumers remain confident that the economy will
continue expanding in the near term; however, the overall trend in confidence has been
softening since last summer, pointing to a moderation in economic growth.
California’s unemployment rate
fell to 4.2% in March 2019, an
improvement compared to last
year’s unemployment rate of 4.3%.
Per capita personal income
increased 4.3% in 2018 over 2017,
mostly due to faster growth in
wages. Growth in the housing
market slowed over the prior year
with the prices of single family
homes up 2.2% and sales down
5.6% 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 2019 employment level in the MSA was 1.06 million,
virtually unchanged from the March 2018 level. The March 2019 preliminary unemployment
rate of 3.0% has increased slightly from the 2.8% rate experienced a year ago. Our local
unemployment rate is lower than the national unemployment rate of 3.8%.
Housing prices remain strong compared to the same period in 2019. In March 2019, single
family homes sold for a median home price of $1.92 million, a notable decrease over the past
year. Despite the decrease in the median home price, property tax revenue is expected to
increase slightly compared to last year due to reassessments of development projects, and
additional TEA property tax share. Construction activity, although strong in previous years,
will continue to flatten out as development projects, particularly Apple Park, are completed.
39
Key Budget Assumptions
Revenue Assumptions
The FY 2020 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
The City is currently in negotiations with its bargaining groups, CEA and OE3. The only
increases in compensation in the FY 2020 Adopted Budget include step increases as well as
benefit increases in retirement and health.
In addition, budgeted personnel expenditures factor in salary step increases for approximately
54% 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. These projections do not include any cost of living (COLA) or equity adjustments.
Non‐Personnel Assumptions
Non‐Personnel budgets were developed based on actual expenditures in prior years, and then
adjusted for FY 2020 funding needs. In addition, one‐time projects have been separated out in
FY 2020 to ensure that expenditure trends reflect ongoing expenditure needs. Contingency
budgets are remaining consistent with the prior year at 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, 2018 is estimated at 71%, up from 68% over the prior year due to
lower than expected investment returns.
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 2020 Adopted Budget includes these additional expenses. As part of the
FY 2019 Adopted Budget, City Council approved the creation of a Pension Rate Stabilization
40
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. During FY
2019, the City contributed an initial investment of $8.0 million to the trust. The FY 2020 Adopted
Budget includes this $8.0 million as restricted fund balance to provide stabilization through the
following ramp‐up period as necessary:
Revenue Volatility
The City’s revenue mix is heavily reliant on volatile business‐to‐business sales tax, which makes
up a large portion 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.

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.
44
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, Parks and Recreation, 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.
45
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.
Glossary of Budget Terminology
The City's budget contains specialized and technical terminology that is unique to public finance
and budgeting. To help the reader understand the terms, a glossary of budgetary terminology is
found below.
Accrual – A basis of accounting in which revenues are recognized in the accounting period in
which they are earned and expenses are recognized in the period in which they are incurred.

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 crossroads, 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
53
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 it’s 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.
2019 Community Economic Profile
Cupertino, with a population of 64,344 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

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

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 Manager’s
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 from
new revenue sources.
68
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, Parks and Recreation,
69
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.
70
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 2019‐20 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 Improvement Fund is
utilized for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities.
71
Tax Supported Funds Purpose
General The General Fund is used to pay for core services such as
public safety, parks and recreation, planning and community
development, public works, and a host of other vital services.
The revenue used to pay for these services comes primarily
from local taxes such as property tax and sales tax, franchise
fees, charges for services, and a variety of other discretionary
sources.

Fiscal 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.
75
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.
76
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.
77
The City will consider the use of debt financing for capital projects under the following
circumstances:
When the project’s useful life will exceed the terms of the financing
When resources are deemed sufficient and reliable to service the long‐term debt
When market conditions present favorable interest rates for City financing
When the issuance of debt will not adversely affect the City’s credit rating and debt
coverage ratios.
78
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.
79
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.
80
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.
81
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.
82
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
Section 115 Pension Trust – $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.
83
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) Section 115 Pension Trust
3) Sustainability Reserve
4) Unassigned
85
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 14, 2019 City Council agenda packet.
86
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.
87
Appropriations & Legal Debt Limit Margin
Gann Appropriations Limit
Fiscal Year 2019‐20
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.
88
The City’s appropriations limit for FY 2019‐20 is $104,753,580, $4,215,275 or 4.2% higher than the
FY 2018‐19 limit of $100,538,305. The City’s estimated appropriations of proceeds from taxes,
less statutory exclusions, do not appear to exceed the appropriations limit and does not present
a constraint on current or future budget deliberations.
Legal Debt Margin
Fiscal Year 2019‐20
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

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 2019-20, General Fund revenue estimates (excluding fund balance) total $87.1 million,
representing a $10.2 million, or 13.3% increase from the FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget, mostly due
to an increase in sales tax, property tax, transient occupancy tax, and our cost allocation to our
City’s facilities division. When fund balance carryover is included, General Fund resources total
$46.6 million, which is slightly higher than the FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget of $45.2 million.
General Fund expenditure estimates total $80.1 million, which is slightly higher than the FY 2018-
19 Adopted Budget and due to salary and benefit increases as well as additional special projects.
The General Fund’s ending fund balance is projected to increase by 18% from FY 2018-19
estimated ending fund balance. This is due to significant carryover appropriations from FY 2017-
18 that are anticipated to be spent in FY 2018-19, thereby having a larger impact on the estimated
ending fund balance in FY 2018-19.
This section provides information on the FY 2019-20 General Fund budget including expenditure
and revenue highlights, transfers to other funds, reserve funds and the financial forecast.

GENERAL FUND OPERATING SUMMARY

General Fund Revenue
Estimates for the FY 2019-20 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 2019-20 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 2019-20
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 2019-20 revenues are estimated at $87.1 million, a 13.3% increase
over the FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget.
The majority of Cupertino’s General Fund operating revenues are generated by sales taxes (29%)
and property taxes (28%), followed by charges for services (15%) 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
98
The FY 2019-20 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. Staff
will continue to monitor the impact of the CASA Compact and the initiative’s ¼ cent sales tax

imposed on local governments as a potential new source of revenue for affordable housing.
Should the City decide to include a similar measure on the ballot in November 2020, and subject
to voter approval, the City has an opportunity to retain local control over the additional sales tax
proceeds.
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),
state and county pools 17%, restaurants and hotels 6%, general retail 4%, and fuel and service
stations 3%.
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 2019-20 sales tax revenue is projected to show a
more modest increase going forward.
Sales tax receipts increased by 26.1% in FY 2016-17 due to a onetime $3.5 million payment related
to the close out of the triple flip and took
a slight dip of 2.8% in FY 2017-18. Sales
tax revenue is expected to drop 6.2% in
FY 2018-19 which is primarily due to
double payments received in FY 2017-
18. Sales tax revenues are estimated to
generate $25.6 million in FY 2019-20,
which is up 8.5% from the FY 2018-19
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,
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.

PROPERTY TAX
101
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, TEA will be fully restored and Cupertino
will keep 7.0% of property tax revenues in FY 2019-20 compared to 6.72% in FY 2018-19.
Additionally, Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF), a mechanism, enacted in July of
1992 by the State Legislature to shift local tax revenues from cities, counties, and special districts
to a State control ERAF, absorbs the shift-back of the TEA as illustrated in the chart below.
The City experienced a net taxable value
increase of 8.83% for the 2018-2019 tax roll,
which resulted in an increase of $1.6 million
in property taxes received. The bulk of the
increase was due to increases in residential
properties by $527,000, or 5.5%. This category
makes up 59% of property tax revenues.
Unsecured property tax increased by
$448,000, or 60%. This category makes up
7.4% of property tax revenues. Lastly
increases in commercial property values
increased by $327,000, or 7%. This category makes up 30% of property tax revenues. The
102
remaining $300,000 is made up of changes in a variety of other property tax categories and an
increase to the City’s property tax share, up from 6.44% in FY 2017-18 to 6.72% in FY 2018-19.
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 17.1% in FY 2019-20 mostly
due to the opening of Hyatt House and collection of short-term rental TOT which commenced
first quarter of FY 2018-19.

UTILITY TAX
103
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.
In FY 2017-18, UUT revenues increased
by 2.1% compared to FY 2016-17 and are
estimated to increase 1.7% in FY 2018-19.
Budgeted revenues are expected to
remain at $3.2 million for FY 2019-20 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 increased by
4.5% in FY 2017-18 from the prior year.
In FY 2018-19, franchise fee revenues
are trending down 14.6% 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 2019-20. 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 and property transfer taxes are relatively
steady while construction 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

OTHER TAXES
105
2013-14. These revenues have since returned to historic levels. In FY 2019-20, these revenues are
expected to be $1.2 million.
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 2019-20, Charges for Services will increase to $13.2 million largely due to an increase in
CAP charges allocated to Facilities. In addition, updated fee schedules for FY 2019-20 have been
approved by council and are estimated to increase approximately $215,000 over the previous
fiscal year.

Licenses and permits include fees for reviewing building plans, building inspections,

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 2017-18 revenues came in 8.7%
higher and another 2.6% drop was
projected as part of the FY 2018-19
Adopted Budget due to the winding
down of construction projects in the
City. Revenue estimates for FY 2019-20

USE OF MONEY AND PROPERTY
107
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 $138.0
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 2019,
the Federal Reserve left short-term interest rates at 2.5%, the same as the previous quarter and 1%
higher than the previous year.
Economists predict interest rates will remain relatively consistent over the near term with slight
chances of additional minor rate hikes. Due to the increases in rates over the previous fiscal year
as well as the outsourcing of the City’s investment management function, the City estimates a
$639,000, or 92%, increase over the previously conservative budgeted amount. Given the high
levels of uncertainty, City staff will continue to monitor interest rates as well as economic factors
in both the local as well as the national economy.
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 2018-19. In FY 2019-20 revenues
are expected to remain at this level.

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 2019-20, revenues of
$354,547 are anticipated.
Miscellaneous revenues account for the sale of land and other miscellaneous revenues such as
administrative fees. FY 2018-19 miscellaneous revenue is estimated to come in about $4.8 million
higher than budgeted due to refundable deposit revenue associated with development projects
and a donation from Apple for Law Enforcement Services in the amount of $558,000.
Miscellaneous revenue is expected to decline and is projected to be $1.5 million for FY 2019-20.

MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE
109
General Fund Expenditures
Estimates for the FY 2019-20 General Fund expenditures are based upon anticipated personnel
and non-personnel cost increases. This year, department budgets reflect a zero-base budget in
which all expenses were justified, removing any one-time costs, and accounting for changes in
personnel costs and any other anticipated/known increased costs in FY 2019-20. In the zero-
base process, every function of the City is analyzed for its needs and costs. The budget is then
built around what is needed for the upcoming period, regardless of whether each budget is
higher or lower than the previous fiscal year.
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 on the next page, FY 2019-20 expenditures are
estimated at $80.1 million, which represents a 3% increase compared to the adopted budget
from the prior year. This budget reflects a decrease in Employee Compensation and Benefits
due to a more accurate reflection of part-time staff charges and a decrease in four full-time
positions in the City Attorney’s Office due to that function being provided through a contract
with an outside law firm. There is also a slight decrease in Materials primarily due to the zero-
base budget process which provides a more accurate reflection of actual expenditures.
Additionally, there is an increase in Contract Services primarily attributed to an increase in
General Service Agreements for outsourcing City Attorney functions as well as an increase in
Law Enforcement Services for Apple Park and annual increases to the City’s Law Enforcement
contract with Santa Clara County Sheriff as per the agreement. Lastly, we see an increase in
capital outlay and special projects which are mostly attributable to the Shuttle Bus Pilot
Program.
110
The largest General Fund operating expenditure categories include Employee Compensation
and Benefits (34%), Contract Services (28%), Cost Allocation (13%), and Transfers Out (13%) as

GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURE SUMMARY
111
Personnel Costs
Personnel costs total $26.96 million in FY 2019-20, comprising 34% 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 down
primarily due to the zero-base process which provides a more accurate reflection of part-time
staff charges, a decrease in four full-time positions in the City Attorney’s Office due to
outsourcing City Attorney functions, and no cost of living increase or equity negotiated as part
of the labor agreements.
CalPERS retirement rates are projected to increase 6.3%, 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 has not made any additional changes since December 2017. Future
actuarial assumptions project changes to the discount rate and these projections are reflected in
the General Fund forecast section of the budget.
A total of 202.75 FTEs are budgeted in FY 2019-20, up from 201.75 in FY 2018-19. This increase of
1.0 FTEs represents a 0.5% increase in staffing. The change in positions is summarized below:

Positions requested as part of the Adopted Budget are summarized below:
Non-Personnel
Non-personnel costs total $42.6 million in FY 2019-20, comprising 53% of General Fund
budgeted appropriations. These costs are primarily made up of Contract Services (27%), Cost
Allocation charges (12%), Materials (7%), Capital Outlays and Special Projects (5%) and
Contingencies (1%). Costs were developed based on the new zero-base budget process with
adjustments for FY 2019-20 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’s materials and contract services base
budgets have been established. This contingency level is within the recommended range by the
Government Finance Officers Association. Contingencies have been allocated proportionately
amongst operating programs based on each program’s share of General Fund budget for
contractual services and supplies and materials. The remaining is allocated to the City
Manager’s Discretionary Program. Program contingency budgets may be used to cover
unanticipated program expenses at the department’s discretion, while the use of the City
Manager’s Discretionary Program will require City Manager approval. The 5% is consistent
with best practices adopted by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) which
recommends a 5-15% contingency. The Sheriff’s and City Attorney services contracts are
excluded from the contingency calculation.

General Fund Fund Balance
As prescribed by GASB Statement No. 54, governmental funds report fund balance in
classifications based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on
the specific purposes for which amounts in the funds can be spent. Fund balances for
governmental funds are made up of the following:
Nonspendable Fund Balance – includes amounts that are (a) not in spendable form, or
(b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. The “not in spendable
form” criterion includes items that are not expected to be converted to cash, for example:
prepaid items, property held for resale and long-term notes receivable.
Restricted Fund Balance – includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific
purposes stipulated by external resource providers, constitutionally or through enabling
legislation. Restrictions may effectively be changed or lifted only with the consent of
resource providers.
Committed Fund Balance – includes amounts that can only be used for the specific
purposes determined by a formal action of the City’s highest level of decision-making
authority, the City Council. Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the City
taking the same formal action (resolution) that imposed the constraint originally.
Assigned Fund Balance – comprises amounts intended to be used by the City for specific
purposes that are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is expressed by the City
Council or official to which the City Council has delegated the authority to assign
amounts to be used for specific purposes. Through the adopted budget, the City
Council establishes assigned fund balance policy levels and also sets the means and
priority for the City Manager to fund these levels.
Unassigned Fund Balance – is the residual classification for the General Fund and
includes all amounts not contained in the other classifications. Unassigned amounts are
technically available for any purpose.
In circumstances when an expenditure may be made for which amounts are available in
multiple fund balance classifications, the fund balance in General Fund will generally be used in
the order of restricted, unassigned, and then assigned reserves. In other governmental funds,
the order will generally be restricted and then assigned.

All Funds Summary
This section provides information on the FY 2019-20 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 2019-20 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 2019-20 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 approximately $624,000 dollars, largely due to a
reduction in one-time transfers in from the General Fund that is offset with an increase in SB1
funding.

Fund Balance
Fund balance represents fund savings and is calculated by taking the beginning balance and
then adding the difference between revenue and expenditures to arrive at the ending fund
balance.
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 increase by $1.8 million and is primarily driven by anticipated decreases
in charges for services due to amendments to the City’s contract with Recology and the use of
dump boxes. Additionally, an increase 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.

greater detail following the table:
Expenditures are projected to increase by approximately $1.3 million, largely due to an increase
in capital outlay needs at the City’s Sports Center.
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.

5-Year and 20-Year General Fund Forecast
Overview
City staff has continued to develop medium-term (5-year) and long-term (20-year) forecasts as
part of the budget process. 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. As shown in the following chart, in the next 20 years, our projections show healthy
operating surpluses despite consistent, yet modest, declines year-over-year due to revenues
growing at a slower rate than expenditures.
In the forecast, revenue growth is primarily driven by sales, property, and transient occupancy
taxes. Revenue growth will be slower than in the past due to the completion of large-scale
development projects, such as Main Street and Apple Park, in the City. Expenditure growth is
primarily driven by increases in pension liability costs and the City’s Law Enforcement contract
with the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office.
Operating surpluses are projected to decrease from $7.0 million in FY 2019-20 to $2.6 M in FY
2038-39 as revenues grow at a slower pace than expenditures, as shown in the following chart.

Forecast Methodology
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 instrumental in modeling the
effects of retirement costs, employee compensation, and revenues on the City’s budget.
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 frequently and demonstrate
the difficulties of committing to a particular prediction of the future. For this reason, the forecast
is updated regularly.
While economic conditions are the primary drivers for economically-sensitive revenues such as
sales tax and property tax, performance is primarily driven by other factors for non-economically
sensitive categories such as the utility user tax and franchise fees. 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
126
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 seasonality and the economic
environment the City is most likely to encounter in the future.
A discussion of both the national and local economic outlooks used to develop the revenue
estimates for the FY 2018-19 forecast is included below. To develop the revenue forecasts, the City
reviewed national, State, and regional economic forecasts from multiple sources including 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). To develop
the sales tax, property tax, and transient occupancy tax (TOT) revenue projections, the City
worked with HdL Companies, a tax consultant. In 2019, the City began working with UFI (Urban
Futures, Inc.), a financial advisory and consulting firm, to:
• review, update, and enhance the City’s baseline financial forecast;
• evaluate fiscal strategies including potential local revenue measures;
• develop capital financing options, structures and estimates for identified projects; and
• prepare analysis of city charter costs/benefits related to fiscal activities.
This forecast includes the updates and enhancements that UFI has made to the City’s baseline
financial forecast.
National Economic Outlook
Both locally and nationally, uncertainty is the main theme among forecasts. Although the risk of
a downturn is rising, most forecasts still project slower but stable growth. 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). As of July, the current economic expansion is the longest on
record. According to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), annual economic
growth is expected to slow after 2019 and average 1.8 percent per year from 2024 to 2029 due to
slower labor force growth. Similarly, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) forecasts GDP
growth of 2.1 percent in 2019, 1.9 percent in 2020, and 1.8 percent in 2021. 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 Silicon Valley overall is 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, such as Main Street and Apple Park, have generated
strong development-related revenue for the City’s coffers. However, large-scale development-
related activity has started to decrease. 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 such one-time revenues given their
uncertainty.
127
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 have
declined from the peak experienced in FY 2013-14 due to the completion of large-scale one-time
projects but will increase slightly throughout 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. In FY 2018-
19, the City established a Section 115 Trust 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.
128
Revenues
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. As large-scale development begins to decline in
Cupertino, the City will see the effects of that in reduced revenue growth.
129
Sales Tax
Currently, Sales tax is the City’s largest revenue source. Sales taxes are collected at the point of
sale and remitted to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (formerly the
Board of Equalization), which distributes tax revenue owed to the City in monthly payments.
Sales tax is projected to be lower in FY 2018-19 compared to FY 2017-18 due to the completion of
Apple Park, then increase modestly in subsequent years. Sales tax is projected to grow by an
average annual growth rate of 1.7% in the
long-term forecast. Moderate forecasts
were used for general consumer goods,
restaurants and hotels, and state and
county pools; conservative forecasts were
used for business and industry and other
categories. 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 economic 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 base. Sales tax revenue is reported two
quarters in arrears thus providing the City with about six months to react if this revenue source
starts to decline.

FIVE-YEAR SALES TAX FORECAST
130
Given the volatility of B2B revenue, which accounts for the majority of the City’s sales tax
revenue, 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 boost retail sales and reduce the City’s
reliance on B2B revenue.
Property Tax
Property tax revenues are projected to increase by an average annual growth rate of 3.3% in our
forecast. This moderate forecast is based
on a combination of factors including
historical trends for the City and
forecasts for the region. Historically,
property tax has increased at an average
annual growth rate of 11.6%. However,
this moderate forecast projects a much
lower growth rate to account for the fact
that no major development projects are
expected in the City. The reduction in
development activity will reduce the
City’s property tax growth in the future.
Major development projects, such as Main Street and Apple Park, were a significant contributor
to the historical growth in property tax revenues.

FIVE-YEAR TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX FORECAST
131
Transient occupancy tax (TOT) revenues for FY 2018-19 are projected to be higher than the prior
year primarily due to the opening of
the 180-room Residence Inn by
Marriott hotel at Main Street. The
forecast also assumes the opening of
the 148-room Hyatt House hotel in
northeast Cupertino in spring 2019. In
the forecast, TOT is projected to
increase at an average annual growth
rate of 5.0%. The City used a moderate
forecast based on historical tax
collections. This moderate forecast
assumes slower growth compared to
historical trends given that no additional hotels are expected to open after 2019.
TOT revenues are impacted by the tax rate charged on hotels in the City, the occupancy rate of
the hotels, and the average daily room rates (ADR) of the hotels. TOT revenues are highly
correlated with B2B revenue, as TOT revenues in Cupertino are primarily driven by business
travel. Occupancy rates are currently at record levels given our strong local economy. However,
given the large amount of business travel in the City, a decline in the economy could have a
significant impact on this revenue source.
Licenses and Permits
Licenses and permits are forecasted to decrease in FY 2019-20 due to reduced development
activity but increase in the out-years.
Revenue is projected to increase by an
average annual growth rate of 1.0%. The
forecasts were based on forecasts of
California residential building permits,
non-residential building permits, and
construction payrolls from the UCLA
Anderson Forecasts for the Nation and
California. 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
Revenues from charges for services have decreased from their levels in FY 2016-17, primarily due
to a decrease in development activity.
Starting in FY 2020-21, revenue is
projected to increase at an average
annual growth rate of 5.1%. Other
Service Fees, General Service Fees, and
Enterprise Service Fees are projected to
increase by 2.5% based on full-time
salary growth. Planning Fees and
Engineering Fees are based on
construction and development factors
including California residential building
permits, non-residential building
permits, and construction payrolls from
the UCLA Anderson Forecasts for the Nation and California. This forecast does not assume any
major development projects that are awaiting approval.
Other Revenue
Utility taxes are forecasted to decrease by -0.4% each year based on historical trends. In recent
years, increases in rates have been offset by decreases in consumption.
Franchise fees are projected to increase by an average annual growth rate of 3.4% based on a trend
of historical data.

Non-operational revenues (Transfers and Other Financing Sources) are not assumed in the
forecast.
Expenditures
134
For FY 2019-20, the City developed a zero-base budget in which all expenses were justified. The
process started from a “zero base” and every function of the City was analyzed for its needs and
costs. The budget was then built around what was needed for the upcoming period, regardless
of whether each budget was higher or lower than the previous fiscal year. This best practice
resulted in base budget savings from the prior year.
The forecast was developed based on actual expenditures in prior years, and then adjusted for
FY 2019-20 funding needs. The forecast also included the following factors: State and County CPI,
construction and development activity, and CalPERS Normal Cost and Unfunded Liability
projections. The forecast was adjusted to account for one-time changes and budget amendments.
As displayed in the chart above, General Fund expenditures are projected to decrease from $102.3
million in FY 2018-19 to $80.1 million in FY 2019-20 and $79.8 million in FY 2020-21 and increase
each year in the forecast thereafter. The main drivers of expenditure growth are employee benefits
and contract services due to rising retirement rates and Law Enforcement costs. The following
discussion focuses on the assumptions used for estimating each of the expenditure categories in
the General Fund Forecast.
Personnel Expenditures
Salaries
The City is currently in negotiations with its bargaining groups, CEA and OE3. The only increases
in compensation in these forecasts include step increases as well as known benefit increases in
retirement and health.

FIVE-YEAR GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES FORECAST
135
Increases in salaries are primarily due to employees below Step 5 progressing to higher salary
steps. Full-time salaries are projected to grow at a rate of 2.5% per year, which is based on
historical trends in step increases. It 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. These projections do not include any cost of living (COLA) or
equity adjustments.
Four limited-term positions are forecasted to end in FY 2020-21 and one in FY 2022-23, which will
result in up to $1 million in ongoing salary 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 significant increases to the City’s health insurance contributions.
For the duration of a contract, cost increases in health and dental premiums above the negotiated
amounts are fully absorbed by employees. The City is currently in negotiations with its
bargaining groups, CEA and OE3.
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. 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. As of the June 30, 2017 valuation,
which was issued in July 2018, the funded status of the CalPERS Public Employees Retirement
Fund (PERF) is 71%, an increase from 68% the prior year.
The City’s pension plan has an Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) of $40.5 million and a funded
ratio of 68.1%, according to the latest CalPERS actuarial valuation report as of June 30, 2017.1
1 CalPERS City of Cupertino Annual Valuation Report as of June 30, 2017
136
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 of Administration lowered the discount rate from 7.5% to
7.0% with a three year phase-in beginning in FY 2018-19. This change will result in significant
increases in retirement costs but was implemented to improve the financial stability of the
pension system. As a result of the discount rate reduction, the City’s CalPERS costs are projected
to increase by over 38% from FY 2019-20 to FY 2024-25 as shown in the table below.2
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 City adopted a Pension Rate Stabilization Program
(PRSP), also known as a Section 115 Trust, in FY 2018-19. 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. During FY 2018-19, the
City contributed an initial investment of $8.0 million to the trust. The FY 2019-20 Adopted Budget
includes this $8.0 million as restricted fund balance.
The City’s retirement rates are based on a blend of all three tiers (2.7% @ 55, 2% @ 60, and 2% @
62). Although employees pay a different rate depending on their tier, the City’s costs are the same
for all 3 tiers. The table below shows the current breakdown of City employees amongst the three
retirement tiers. Since FY 2018-2019, the number of employees in Tier 1 has decreased while the
number of employees in Tier 3 has increased. The majority of employees in the City are currently

covered under Tier 3. Savings from the lower-cost Tier 2 and Tier 3 plans are not expected to be
substantial for several 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 budgets were developed based on actual expenditures in prior years, and then
adjusted for FY 2019-20 funding needs. In addition, one-time projects have been excluded in FY
2019-20 to ensure that expenditure trends reflect ongoing expenditure needs.
For the out-years of the forecast, a growth rate based on an average of State and County CPI is
assumed from the baseline. The average growth rate for State and County CPI is 3.00%. The CPI
estimates are based on the following forecasts:
• UCLA Anderson Forecast for the Nation and California and
• California Department of Transportation’s California County-Level Economic Forecast.
Materials costs are forecasted to increase by CPI in the out-years of the forecast.
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. Increases
to the City’s Law Enforcement costs are a primary driver in the City’s expenditure growth. Law
Enforcement costs are projected to grow by CPI plus 2%, at an average annual growth rate of
5.9%. The major increase in contracts is driven by increases in CalPERS costs at the Santa Clara
County Sheriff’s Office that will be passed on to the City per the contract’s terms.
Cost Allocation is projected to grow by 2.5% in the out-years. This estimate is conservative as
savings may materialize in department budgets that may drive these costs down.
Capital Outlays are projected to increase by CPI from a baseline of $250,000 while Special
Projects are projected to increase by CPI from a baseline of $500,000. 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.

Appropriations for Contingency are projected to be $800,000 and increase by CPI in the forecast.
The City has historically underspent in this category and 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
the full cost allocation plan in FY 2015-16, General Fund expenses will be shifted to other City
funds causing some of those funds’ revenues to fall short of expenses and necessitating the use
of fund balances to cover expenses. The General Fund benefits in the near term with the cost shift,
however, after fund balances in those other funds are drawn down to minimum levels, and absent
aggressive revenue or cost actions in those other funds, General Fund subsidies are projected to
kick in and remain flat in the forecast in order to maintain those fund balance minimums.
Fund Balance
The General Fund’s fund balance is projected to increase each year in the forecast period due to
modest operating surpluses. This is driven by the City’s strong revenues and the City’s
conservative approach to expenditure growth.
139
Throughout the forecast, fund balance starts to grow at a slower rate as the size of the operating
surpluses decrease.
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. In FY 2018-19, the City
adopted 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
Historically, the City’s budget has been structurally sound with revenues exceeding expenditures
in most years. When revenues have exceeded expenditures, excess fund balance was transferred
to the Capital Reserve per the City’s One Time Use and Reserve Policy. The current 5-year and
20-year forecasts anticipate operating surpluses each year. However, the size of the operating
surpluses are projected to decrease each year as revenues grow at a slower pace than
expenditures. As a result, the following strategies may be used to assist in balancing the budget
over the next 20 years.
Strategy Description Potential Impact

business license tax Introduced as part of City Council Work Plan Unknown at this

Program Overview
The Mayor and councilmembers, acting as the elected representatives of the residents of Cupertino, establish
public policies to meet the community needs of the City.
Service Objectives
The City Council objectives are carried out by City staff under the sole direction of the City Manager.
Adopted Budget
On June 18, 2019, City Council approved a budget of $423,311 for the City Council program. This represents
an increase of $5,399 (1.3%) from the FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget.
Increases in material and contract costs are due to the base budgeting process and the proper allocation of
expenditures in the correct accounts. In addition, $5,000 was added to the Mayor’s discretionary fund to
accommodate the level of events that mayors have been holding in the last few years. This increase will also
serve as an escalator as the Mayor’s Fund has typically defaulted to $10,000 since it began in 2007. These are
offset by a reduction in employee benefits due to the waiving of health care coverage by three employees in
this program.

Adopted Budget
On June 18, 2019, City Council approved a budget of $6,551,614 for the Administration department. This
represents an increase of $611,826 (10.3%) from the FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget.
The increase is primarily due to an increase in contract cost due to the City outsourcing the City AIorney
function in FY 2018-19. This increase is offset by decreases in full time salary and benefit costs due to the
elimination of four attorney positions.

Program Overview
The City Manager is responsible to the City Council for the effective and efficient operation of the City. Under
the direction of the City Council as a whole, the City Manager carries out the City’s goals and objectives. The
City Manager oversees Sustainability and Public Affairs.
Service Objectives
Accomplish the City Council’s work program.
Manage City operations.
Ensure all laws and ordinances of the City are duly enforced and that all franchises, permits, licenses,
and privileges granted by the City are faithfully performed and observed.
Advise the City Council on policy, and the financial conditions and needs of the City.
Investigate all complaints concerning the operation of the City.
Prepare reports and initiate recommendations as may be desirable or as requested by the City Council.
Ensure that the City’s policies and procedures provide a foundation for a secure financial position.
Adopted Budget
On June 18, 2019, City Council approved a budget of $1,261,257 for the City Manager program. This
represents an increase of $268,139 (27.0%) from the FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget.
This increase is primarily due to changes in staff responsibilities that have resulted in a reallocation of City
Manager’s Office staff that were previously spread across various programs to be fully allocated in this City
Manager program. This budget also proposes funding for City Work Program approved items on tobacco
related policies that will be entirely offset by grant funding from Santa Clara County and funding for a
contract lobbyist to assist in ensuring the City’s interests are heard at the State.

Program Overview
The Economic Development program specifically targets business retention, expansion, and aIraction with a
focus on small business development, in order to support the City's financial stability.
Service Objectives
Provide assistance and support to businesses to enable job creation, new business formation, private
investment, and industry evolution.
Conduct outreach to existing small businesses to create strong working relationships.
Collaborate with internal city team members to keep the needs of businesses in the forefront when
reviewing applications and projects.
Partner with local business associations, agencies, and organizations to create a strong and cohesive
network offering business support and assistance.
Provide the public with current data and information easily accessible online or in printed format.
Assist with policy formation to align with business and community goals.
Adopted Budget
On June 18, 2019, City Council approved a budget of $340,334 for the Economic Development program.
The increase in the Economic Development budget is due to the addition of a $50,000 annual contract with
Buxton (a customer analytics vendor), which will provide essential data and targeted reports to assist with
business recruitment and retention. Deliverables would include, but not limited to, the following:
Develop profile of residents, daytime population and visitors, leveraging mobile analytics and
transactional (purchasing) data.
Understand current retail and restaurant economic conditions.
Profile new mover population and provide predictive projections.
Develop and qualify a list of potential retailers and restaurants matching Cupertino's community
profile.
213
Assemble individualized marketing packages for up to 20 targeted retailers.
Up to 100 monthly subscriptions for use of Buxton's Local Store Marketing (LSM) program which
allows individual small business owners and franchisees to execute marketing campaigns via mobile
devices free of charge.
An increase in membership dues and subscription services (e.g., SVEDA dues and CoStar subscription), an
increase in meeting expenses (special event/luncheon ticket costs), and an increase in budget to accommodate
higher aIendance at business meetings, events, and workshops are also contributing to the increase in the
Economic Development budget.
Added to Council's FY 2019-20 work program is exploring the viability of establishing a small business
development center and Cupertino Visitors Center. These will likely entail research and development of
operations and a marketing strategy.

machine brought down maintenance of equipment cost.

Program Overview
The City Manager Contingency fund was established to meet citywide unexpected expenses that may occur
during the year. In FY 2013-14, an Appropriations for Contingency expenditure category was added to each
General Fund department to serve as a contingency for any unexpected expenditures that might occur. This
category is 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 18, 2019, City Council approved a budget of $486,353 for the City Manager Contingency program.
This represents a decrease of $107,308 (-18.1%) from the FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget.

Program Overview
The City AIorney is appointed by the City Council to manage the legal affairs of the City, including the
operation of the City AIorney’s Office. The City AIorney’s Office provides all legal services that are needed
to support the City Council, City Commissions, City Manager, department directors, and City staff.
Service Objectives
The mission of the City AIorney’s Office is to protect and defend the City by all legal and ethical means and
to provide the municipal corporation with high-quality legal service and advice. These legal services include
the following:
Prosecute and defend the City in any legal action such as civil maIers involving personal injury or
property damage, employment practices, code enforcement, or any administrative action arising out of
City business.
Manage all liability claims filed against the City including investigation and disposition.
Attend City Council, Planning Commission, and other public meetings as requested.
Prepare and review proposed legislation including ordinances and resolutions.
Draft and/or review contracts, agreements, and other legal documents.
Conduct legal research and analysis, and prepare legal memoranda.
Provide legal support for special projects, among other things.
Adopted Budget
On June 18, 2019, City Council approved a budget of $2,094,534 for the City AIorney program. This
represents a decrease of $35,458 (-1.7%) from the FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget.
This budget is relatively unchanged from last fiscal year. The outsourcing of City AIorney services resulted in
reduced costs in employee salaries and benefits due to the elimination of all but one position. This is offset by
an increase in contract City Attorney services and anticipated demand for legal services in FY 2019-20.

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 18, 2019, City Council approved a budget of $14,026,201 for the Law Enforcement program. This
represents an increase of $1,722,172 (14.0%) from the FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget.
This increase is related to increases in the City's Law Enforcement contract with the Santa Clara County
Sheriff's Office and increased service levels due to the addition of a traffic deputy that is funded by a donation
from Apple Inc.

₁The Applications division is responsible for supporting enterprise applications like ERP, Land Management
System, Recreation System, Laserfiche and many e-services custom applications like bid management, permit
parking etc. business license as well as city's mobile apps. All these applications require constant support and
maintenance. The related tasks may range from providing user access updates to issues that may require
intensive programming to resolve. Troubleshooting existing or building new application configuration rules
and parameters based on the current business process or new requirements. Creating custom application
workflows in back office applications like Accela, and New World. Configure fee schedules in enterprise
applications. Some issues require working and coordinating with soNware vendors to identify and resolve
business workflows and other operational related problems. Coordinating the scheduling of corrective
patches and upgrades between vendors and staff.
₂The Applications division creates custom applications like Community Hall Speaker Card app and Bid
Management app. The application development goes through all stages of SoNware Development Life Cycle
(SDLC) of Requirement-gathering, Analysis, Designing, Coding, Testing and Deployment of these
applications. The Application team works with various staff members and other key stakeholders during
various phases of SDLC. Application staff gather business requirements, participate in a variety of system
user and work groups to identify user needs and operational, programmatic, and or regulatory changes
affecting application requirements and other related issues. Perform soNware application coding, building
system integration and interfaces between applications. Perform end user application tests for functionality
and usability. Writing test scripts based on business processes. Perform system tests, integration test and
performance (volume) tests.
₃This measure involves the task of project research and communications, project charter creation, creating or
reviewing statement of work, contractor research and selection process, activity and resource planning,
creation of work breakdown structure, team building, time management, deliverable management, customer
satisfaction, risk management, communication management, project closeout process and documentation.

₁The Video Division is responsible for producing videos for both city staff as well as the general Cupertino
public. Typically, dozens of video productions are completed every year. Video productions range in scope
from relatively simple 30-second public service announcements to major projects like CREST that require more
than two months of on-going field production, post-production editing, and a live awards program telecast.
This specific Workload Indicator clearly indicates that a large percentage of annual video projects are
unscheduled or unanticipated. The main reason is that video productions are oNentimes evaluated and
prioritized on the basis of their immediate organizational value, impact and/or newsworthiness. ONentimes,
these unanticipated projects are identified and assigned with only a few days or weeks of advanced notice.
As such, there is an on-going need within the division for workflow and work schedule adaptability when it
comes to evaluating video productions and completing them on time and on budget. The measurements
here are tracked in the "milestones" document located in our City Channel documentation folder. The
milestones document is a comprehensive dataset of all the video division projects--both large and small--and is
maintained by the entire video staff. City meeting telecasts are not included in this particular dataset.
₂Video staff is responsible for designing, managing, and maintaining the many audiovisual and broadcast
systems located within the organization. These include systems within the conference and multipurpose
rooms, office and huddle spaces, as well as the complex broadcast systems within the video control room at
Community Hall. Engineering projects differ from simple repairs, tasks, and modifications in that projects, as
defined, require a phased-in approach with advanced planning, design, budgeting, resource acquisition, and
implementation. Most engineering projects are scheduled well in advance; occasionally, however, video staff
may need to implement unanticipated projects if staff or council priorities require as such. The Workload
Indicator here measures the number of projects completed vs. the number of scheduled projects. These
measurements are tracked in the "engineering milestones" document located in our City Channel
documentation folder. This document is maintained by Pete Coglianese, who is the broadcast engineer for
the division.
₃Video staff historically tracks viewership data within our primary online video platforms--YouTube and
Granicus. We continue to see an upward trend in viewership of our videos which are used to promote city
meetings, city programs, and city services. Our target is to increase viewership by 5% annually. Both
YouTube and Granicus provide advanced reporting modules that allow us to accurately track the number of
views over a given date range. The numbers here indicate total views rather than total unique views. Other
online platforms were considered as part of this dataset; however, because we do not consistently post videos
to our other social media sites such as Facebook, TwiRer, Instagram, and Nextdoor, those statistics were not
included as part of this specific performance measure. Similarly, we do have accurate viewership data for the
City Channel, our government access television channel, so that platform was excluded as well.

₁Infrastructure is responsible for computer and technology support to all City staff. Prompt customer service
and aRention is a critical customer service measurement to ensure staff is able to perform and excel with their
daily duties. This core responsibility is performed by two IT Technicians serving 200-250 staff depending on
the time of year. Users may electronically submit or call-in support requests which is logged in Quest
SoNware's KACE Service Desk Management soNware. Infrastructure's goal is to provide a service level where
90% of all helpdesk service requests are completed in 48 hours or less.
₂Maintain availability and accessibility of the City's network infrastructure during business hours of operation.
The City's local and wide area networks require high reliability to ensure various applications (ERP, GIS, Land
management, etc.) and services (Internet, e-mail, shared files, City web services, etc). are available for staff and
members of the public. Monitoring of equipment, service links, and responsiveness through tools such as
Solarwinds Orion and Aruba Airwave allow the Infrastructure team to ensure quick reponse time for any
issues as well as document/log network performance.

₁The GIS Division builds web applications for staff to use as a tool in their daily workflows. The web
application Property Info is a great example of this. Staff use it to review properties for development - select a
property see all the associated layers of data, and access any related laserfiche documents. Property info is the
main web mapping application staff use so we are constantly making improvements based on requests or new
advancements in web development, or available widgets. We also create a number of web applications for the
243
public hRps://www.cupertino.org/online-services/open-government-data/city-maps/web-maps-and-
applications everything from the service finder that give residents a one stop shop of all City services to the
CIP story map that give the public a visually appealing way to quickly interpret what capitol improvement
projects are scheduled this year, where the project is located, what the project entails, and current status.
₂GIS receives requests from staff and sometimes Commissioners, Sheriffs office, City Council members…These
requests range from hard copy maps (ex. Update a zoning designation and print all new zoning maps) to
interactive web maps (ex. PW had a consultant evaluate a section of regnart rd and Chad asked us to create a
web map with the data point locations and associate photos), data request (ex. how many Trees were trimmed
this year), Data changes (ex. can I see this layer symbolized by status and added to property info application),
crystal report requests (ex. fleet wants a report that shows how many times each vehicle has a repair work
order based on a dynamic timeframe), to application modifications (ex. the Tree Division is tasked with
mediating a tree virus issue and they would like a new work order type so they can track the problem over
time or Planning had us create a layer for private trees and then add it to the Property info application.)
Evaluating staff use of an application and implementing ways to streamline that workflow. Reduce the
number of steps to performing a task by configuring/coding an application in a way that eliminates
redundancies. We are also asked to configure GIS for enterpise applications such as Accela and ActiveNet.

Adopted Budget
On June 18, 2019, City Council approved a budget of $7,040,620 for the Innovation and Technology
department. This represents a decrease of $854,666 (-10.8%) from the FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget.
For the past two years, the Innovation Technology (IT) Department has totally re-engineered the compute and
applications infrastructure for the City. Improvements include the total rebuild of the City’s wired/wireless
network, server, audio/visual, telephone, and storage environments. Additionally, solid cyber-security and
disaster recovery solutions were implemented. Finally, the replacement or enhancements to all the City’s main
applications were also achieved. These include implementing a new Parks & Recreation application
(ACTIVENet), a new Land Management System (Accela), and additional modules for both our Financial ERP
(New World) and Asset and Work Order Management System (Cityworks). IT, as a Department has evolved
from a reactive help desk posture to an integrated business partner.
For FY 2019-20, IT will move from building to enhancing and managing the environment we have spent the
last two years building. IT staff will learn to master the intricacies of the various applications and hardware
elements with an eye to providing even beRer service and support to City residents, customers and staff. The
decrease in budget requests aligns with moving from a build to maintain/support function.

Program Overview
The IT Infrastructure Division is responsible for technology-related expenses for the citywide management of
information technology services. The Infrastructure Manager and staff are responsible for computer helpdesk,
network availability, and performance, security and compliance, incident response, disaster recovery and
business continuity, project management of implementations and upgrades, purchasing and inventory control,
technical training, and maintenance of systems. Infrastructure is also tasked with ensuring that the City
continues to follow best practices in technology adoption and security practices.
Service Objectives
Provide and continuously improve helpdesk support as this function is oNen the face of IT that staff
interacts with on a daily basis.
Maintain standards and procedures for the replacement, support, and maintenance of all City-owned
computing devices, printers, networks, peripherals and systems defined by City policy.
Continue innovation and outreach to ensure the City follows best IT practices relating to equipment,
policy, and security practices.
Adopted Budget
On June 18, 2019, City Council approved a budget of $2,267,832 for the Infrastructure program. This
represents a decrease of $401,086 (-15.0%) from the FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget.
Over the past two years the Infrastructure Division has totally re-engineered the compute and applications
infrastructure for the City. Improvements include the total rebuild of the City’s wired/wireless network,
server, telephone, and storage environments. Additionally, solid cyber security and disaster recovery solutions
were implemented.
For FY 2019-20, IT will move from build to enhance/manage the environment we have spent the last two years
building. Infrastructure staff will learn to master the intricacies of the various applications and hardware
elements with an eye to provide even beRer service and support to City residents, customers and staff. The
decrease in budget request aligns with moving from a build to maintain/support posture. While the overall
260
budget is reduced significantly, addition funds are requested in the areas of additional conferences. IT
Conferences provide formal training, expert/peer networking, best practices as well as proposed road maps
for future direction. The opportunity to achieve all of these within one setting is invaluable.

Adopted Budget
On June 18, 2019, City Council approved a budget of $15,868,219 for the Parks and Recreation department.
This represents a decrease of $1,574,213 (-9.0%) from the FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget.
The budget primarily decreased as a result of a city reorganization, reallocating Disaster Preparedness to the
City Manager's Office (100-12-633), Community Outreach and Neighborhood Watch to the City Manager's
Office (100-12-632), and Park Planning and Restoration to Public Works (100-82-806).
The department budget represents a zero based budget approach which resulted in a more accurate
description of actual proposed expenditures. The budget was “trued up”, primarily accounting for the
remaining reduction in the budget, including a large reduction in part time salary costs. Overall, compared to
actual expenditures in 2018, the budget remained relatively unchanged.
The budget for Parks and Recreation proposes funding to support initiatives in the FY 2019-20 Council Work
Plan that includes $30,500 to update the athletic fields policy and programs to beIer engage with and meet
the needs of Cupertino teens through formation of a Youth Activity Board ($13,000). This budget also
proposes funding to further partnerships with the Cupertino Union School District to provide a satellite teen
program at Lawson Middle School ($74,310) and weekly open gym opportunities at two schools ($61,780).
This budget proposes funding to complete needed repairs and removal of declining trees on the Blackberry
Farm Golf Course ($27,360) and funding to open and operate the Blacksmith Shop at McClellan Ranch
Preserve ($8,492).
While this budget does not propose new staffing for the department, it does propose funding the
reclassification of a facility attendant to a facility coordinator, pending appropriate classification.

Adopted Budget
On June 18, 2019, City Council approved a budget of $1,230,112 for the Recreation Administration program.
This represents an increase of $425,974 (53.0%) from the FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget.
Revenues were reduced by $42,000 due to the realignment of the Leadership Academy Program to the
Administrative Services Department, in program 100-40-400. The increase in Materials was primarily due to
the reallocation of printing and distribution of expenses for the Department's recreation brochure from 100-61-
630, 580-62-613, and 580-63-620 and consolidation of the department's training budget. The increase in
Contract Services was primarily due to the requirement to purchase Sexual Abuse and Molestation Insurance.
Employee compensation and benefits were increased due to the reallocation of 70% of a Community Outreach
Specialist from 100-61-602.

Program Overview
This budget augments the existing hours of library service currently provided to our community through the
Santa Clara County (SCC) Library Joint Powers Authority.
Service Objectives
Provide 12 extra hours per week of library service for our constituents.
Explore partnerships with the SCC Library for recreation and community programs.
Adopted Budget
On June 18, 2019, City Council approved a budget of $798,040 for the Library Services program. This
represents a decrease of $171,465 (-17.7%) from the FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget.
The decrease in Contract Services is primarily due to year one of a two year decrease in the City's funding of
12 additional operating hours for the Library. This was a result of an increase in the Santa Clara County's
staffing budget for the Library. The remaining costs in this budget fund an expansion to the Go Biblio
program. The City will also be seIing aside $352,719 is savings to help fund a library room expansion as part
of the City's assigned fund balance classification.

school groups, nature programs, and is the location of the Community Garden program and non-profit
operations such as Grassroots Ecology, Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society, UCCE Master Gardeners, and
Rolling Hills 4-H Club. The Creekside Park building provides community members with facility space which

Monta Vista Recreation Center:
Provide gymnastics classes via a certified gymnastics business.
Offer department run preschool program.
Provide contract and staff-run classes and camps.
Make space available for co-sponsored clubs and rentals.
Adopted Budget
On June 18, 2019, City Council approved a budget of $2,252,892 for the Park Facilities program. This
represents a decrease of $129,502 (-5.4%) from the FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget.
The decrease in materials and supplies is primarily due to the transfer of telephone charges to Innovation and
Technology and decreased data charges, coupled with a smaller office supply budget and general supply
budget based on prior year actuals.
The increase in Contract Services is a result of an increase in bank charges, and several new programs and
events added to this division. July 4th is the 10th Anniversary of the re-opening of Blackberry Farm. Event-
themed staff t-shirts, decorate-your-own canvas tote giveaways, and a steel drum band would be added to
the current event offerings. With the popularity of the recently implemented park ranger programs along the
corridor, the new Corridor Stroll, would take place along the whole corridor from McClellan Ranch to the
Stocklmier property. For young and old alike, the corridor comes alive with blacksmith demonstrations,
nature craOs, magicians, acoustic performers, snacks and wine tastings, to name a few. Signing with Santa is
an event like no other in the bay area. This event features cocoa and cookies with a Santa who only
communicates via sign language. This is the first event offered in an ongoing effort to add more adaptive
needs programs to our department. Costs for this event would be offset by the registration fee of $10 per
person, which we anticipate to offset the event cost by $500. Merchandise for sale will be added to the
Blackberry Farm Cafe. The cost to purchase items will be offset by the profit made from sales. We anticipate
sales to generate an additional $2,200 in revenue.
The increase in Contract Services is due to the Blacksmith contract and a $75,000 transfer of funding from a
one-time, limited special project for habitat restoration at McClellan Ranch Preserve to the ongoing watering
and maintenance of the meadow restoration project.
This budget proposes funding to support the 10th anniversary celebration of Blackberry Farm ($2,850),
Stevens Creek Corridor Stroll activities ($3,448), and to operate the Blacksmith Shop at the McClellan Ranch
Preserve ($6,997).

represents a decrease of $76,556 (-40.1%) from the FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget.
The decrease in this budget is primarily due to reduced cost allocation expenses and the movement of several
line items to other accounts. The conference and training funds have moved to the department administration
account, 100-60-601 and supplies and materials have moved to the accounts where the two supervisors are
geographically located.
This budget proposes replacement of two failing lifeguard stands ($6,000) for the Blackberry Farm pool deck.

Program Overview
Blackberry Farm Golf Course provides a nine-hole golf facility to the community that serves all ages.
Service Objectives
Increase the golfer base through private golf instruction, family events, and high school golf team
partnerships.
Operate a golf course concession where customers may purchase golfing accessories and golf
instruction.
Adopted Budget
On June 18, 2019, City Council approved a budget of $692,151 for the Blackberry Farm Golf Course program.
This represents an increase of $4,212 (0.6%) from the FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget.
This budget is relatively unchanged since last fiscal year.
The increase in Contract Services is primarily due to necessary improvements to rebuild the tee area on hole
#1 and hole #9 ($6,180 per tee). The additional funds ($15,000) would also allow us to add five days of tree
work on the course each year, to help address the maintenance of over 100 trees located on the course. The
decrease in Materials and Supplies is due to conference and meeting costs being removed from this account to
account 100-60-601 and a more accurate reflection of the cost of maintaining merchandise aOer a full year of
responsibility for this operation, and the completion of one-time purchases, including tables and umbrellas, a
new counter, and merchandise display in the pro shop.

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 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.
Manage user group field rentals under the Cupertino Union School District/City Joint Use Agreement.
Increase nature, blacksmithing, and environmental classes for parent/child, teen, and adult
demographics.
Increase youth and teen activities to better accommodate working parents.
Provide an afternoon summer nature program to provide all-day camp options for families.
Offer fee-based gardening programs for youth and adults.
Adopted Budget
On June 18, 2019, City Council approved a budget of $1,587,760 for the Outdoor Recreation program. This
represents a decrease of $10,590 (-0.7%) from the FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget.
The decrease is primarily due to reductions in cost allocation.
The increase in Contract Services can be aIributed to several new programs. The aquatics program has moved
from Cupertino High School to Monta Vista High School, to provide a longer day of lessons. This includes 2
more group lessons each session, 48 additional private lessons, and a new lap swim program at lunch. While
this move involves an increase in rent expenses of $16,000, we anticipate generating an additional $20,000 in
revenue. A new Drop-In Basketball program at two CUSD schools would also involve renting gym space at a
cost of $51,000. Participants would be charged a fee of $10 each to play, resulting in an approximate off-
seIing revenue of $19,200. The addition of these programs as well as a new Kid's Challenge event, also results
330
in a slight increase in materials and supplies. The above mentioned revenue will help to offset those events
mentioned. 200 children participate in the kid's run at the Big Bunny 5k each year. Looking to add another
fitness-oriented event for kids, the Kid's Challenge will offer a ninja warrior, parkour type challenge to be held
in September ($8,545). A registration fee of $20 per participant will be charged, with a goal of $2,000 in off-
setting revenue.
This budget proposes adding PT pool staff to ensure a safe aquatics experience ($20,328), and also proposes an
update to the athletic field use policy ($30,500). The laIer initiative is included in the FY 2019-20 City Council
approved work plan.

Program Overview
The Cupertino Sports Center offers a variety of health and wellness activities including a full fitness center,
child care, and a wide assortment of fitness classes, youth sports classes, and a variety of racquet sports,
including tennis, table tennis, pickle ball, and badminton classes, camps, and programs.
Service Objectives
Increase memberships, participation in fitness classes, and enrollment in contract camps and classes.
Market programs through social media, the recreation schedule, a new electronic sign on Stevens Creek
Blvd., and the City website.
Collaborate with Public Works to ensure successful implementation of Capital Improvement Projects.
Explore new program offerings each quarter.
Offer special classes for International Yoga Day and the annual Open House.
Adopted Budget
On June 18, 2019, City Council approved a budget of $2,545,563 for the Sports Center Operations program.
This represents an increase of $84,828 (3.4%) from the FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget.
This budget remains relatively unchanged from last year and supports the operations at the Cupertino Sports
Center. This includes staffing, fitness programs, exercise classes, tennis, child care, racquetball, and a variety of
camps and classes for all ages. The decrease in some operating costs is a direct result of conference and
training expenses being moved to the department administration account, 100-60-601, the discontinuation of a
summer camp program, and a one-time special piece of equipment purchase in the last fiscal year. The annual
equipment replacement of two treadmills is proposed at a cost of $13,000.

collections.

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.
