Budget Message
June 6, 2023
To the residents of Cupertino, Honorable Mayor, and members of the City Council,
Typically, a buHerfly is not the first thing that comes to mind when we think about the City budget, yet the life
cycle of the buHerfly provides a strong analogy to what this year ’s budget brings. The caterpillar, through focused
efforts, undergoes a transformative change to something unexpected. Like the caterpillar, the City faces a
necessary transformative period. Through its transformation, the buHerfly becomes a testament to the caterpillar ’s
perseverance and resilience in the face of adversity.
Similarly, while the City's budget situation for this year and beyond may feel like a dark and uncertain place, it
presents an opportunity for transformation and innovation. To deal with a significant reduction in sales tax
revenue, as described in greater detail below, the City must be nimble and adapt to change. We will need to
reduce our expenditures to balance the budget. In the face of these challenges, I firmly believe that the best for
Cupertino is yet to come, and that the commitment of the City’s residents, City Council, and employees will
create a new and different Cupertino. We may even gain some new abilities as we move to right size the City’s
resources to our new reality.
The adopted budget for FY 2023-2024 is $121,765,857, funded with $110,201,505 in revenue and $11,564,352 in the
use of one-time funds. The General Fund, the City's largest tax-supported fund, was adopted at $86,062,998,
funded with $80,281,229 in revenue and $5,781,769 in the use of one-time funds. The use of fund balance and
reserves are necessary to close the structural deficit, which is an unprecedented situation. In previous years,
unallocated funds were typically transferred to the Capital Reserve or other funds to support initiatives such as
our Section 115 trust funds.
The uncertainty of the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) audit has been looming in
the City’s budget since the FY 2021-2022 Mid-Year Financial Report. In this report, the City staff informed the City
Council and the community for the first time that one of the City's taxpayers was being audited by the State, and
that the impacts on the budget were unknown but could potentially be significant.
The FY 2022-2023 Adopted Budget included staff ’s best estimate of the impacts of the audit at that time, given the
limited information available. The estimated impacts could be weathered with the City’s strong financial
foundation that includes fully funded reserves and a significant unassigned fund balance in the General Fund. In
addition, the City maintains well-funded Section 115 trusts for both retiree health and pension. Also, aOer budget
adoption, the City Manager initiated a soO hiring freeze that primarily impacted new positions that had been
added as part of the budget to limit expenses.
Fast forward to April 13 of this year, aOer staff had met with the impacted taxpayer and the CDTFA, we provided
an updated financial forecast to the City Council and community. This impact was much larger than previously
estimated. It included an estimated 73% drop in sales tax revenue, that translates to a $30 million ongoing
decrease. This has put the City in a structural deficit, meaning ongoing expenses exceed ongoing revenue.
The Adopted Budget serves to inform what the impacts of the currently recommended budget reduction
strategies will have on day-to-day operations and to the residents of Cupertino. Those strategies include:
Reduced spending across all categories
Reduced full time staffing over a 10-year period through elimination of vacant positions
Use of both the pension trust and retiree health trust
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Budget Message 27
Significant use of reserves
As a result of these revenue reductions, the City will need to reduce or eliminate some services. City leadership
understands this will be difficult for residents and staff but will be necessary to ensure the City’s long-term
success. Details of those reductions are included in the Budget Message: Budget Overview and in each program
budget. They include:
Elimination of some free events
A reduction in free Wi-Fi in parks
Fewer professional development opportunities due to reduced Citywide training and conference
attendance
A decrease in technology purchases and fewer pilots of future tech, like augmented and virtual reality
A reduction in services and longer response times for Cupertino 311 requests
Decreased frequency of maintenance at City facilities, parks, streets, and trees
Reduced pavement maintenance expenditures which may affect the pavement condition index (PCI)
While the current situation may appear dire, the City Council’s and staff's advanced planning over the years have
established an unparalleled solid financial foundation. As a result, even with necessary service reductions, this
foundation is expected to significantly lessen the impact of navigating this challenge.
This is an ever-evolving situation, and this budget represents our best estimates. I am commiHed to continuing
communication and feedback with our residents, City Council, and staff as we navigate these changes. I am
confident that with our hard work, dedication, and innovative thinking, we will emerge from these difficult times
even better than before.
Respectfully Submitted,
Pamela Wu
City Manager
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Budget Message 28
Strategic Goals
On March 1, 2023, the City Council held a Goal SeHing Workshop to discuss City goals and priorities for the next
two years. The City Council re-affirmed their commitment to the following five goals, which were formally
adopted in February 2020:
Public Engagement and Transparency
Creating and maintaining key conversations and interactions with the Cupertino Community.
Sustainability and Fiscal Strategy
Continuing Cupertino's commitment to building a sustainable and resilient community for future generations.
Housing
Contributing meaningfully and in a balanced manner to the housing inventory in support of our community
needs, including affordable housing (from extremely low-income to moderate-income level housing) and
addressing homelessness.
Transportation
Providing access to an efficient, safe multi-modal transportation system for our community, and advocating for
effective, equitable mass transit in the greater region.
Improving Traffic Flow and Alleviating Congestion
Quality of Life
Furthering the health and well-being of all Cupertino community members.
Air Quality
Public Safety
Recreation
Access to Goods and Services
While these are intended as multi-year goals, they are reviewed annually by the City Council. The Council may
adopt the same goals or revised goals as the Council sees fit.
The strategic planning process and City Council goal-seHing are paramount as they drive the City's annual Work
Program. The City has created an online dashboard to show the status and performance of the City Work
Program in real-time (gis.cupertino.org/webmap/CityWorkProgram/). Special Projects with budgetary impacts
associated with the City Work Program are listed in the respective program budgets. Some City Work Program
projects from prior fiscal years may be carried forward into FY 2023-24.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Budget Message 29
FY 2023-25 City Work Program
On April 4, 2023, the City Council approved the FY 2023-2025 City Work Program, which comprised a total of 24
projects requiring $2,340,000 in additional funding, in addition to $2,539,625 of previously allocated funds,
totaling $4,879,625. As part of the City’s budget reduction strategy, staff is proposing the following list of 15
projects that only require $215,000 in additional funding. These 15 projects include all previously funded items
and all high priority items that require additional funding. Additionally, staff is proposing to include one low-
priority item aimed at supporting the unhoused, as Santa Clara County will be matching the funds for this project.
The remaining nine projects can be considered for funding next year when more special project funds are
available.

Clara County Sheriff’s office to develop evacuation planning maps for residents. This initiative addresses the
requirements of AB 747 and AB 1409. The Office is currently updating both the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and
the Community Wildfire Protection Plan, with a focus on incorporating projects identified in other City plans.
Integrating these plans provides the opportunity to meet additional legislative requirements related to hazards

This program provides an opportunity to understand the unique needs of our local businesses and connect them
with resources. CBOP incorporates an in-person (or virtual) visit to companies located within Cupertino for a
conversation with the leadership team and an optional tour of the operations. With insights gained during these
visits, the City hopes to double down on supporting programs that work or create new ones to fill gaps in
addressing common business needs.

subscribers and is another testament to the City’s desire to engage the business community as well as an
unwavering commitment to their success.

valuable life skills. Leaders in Training are invaluable Parks and Recreation summer team members as they
support our recreation leaders and are trained in supervision, safety, problem-solving, and leading camp
activities.
Hidden Treasures 2022 - The Hidden Treasures event returned to the Cupertino Senior Center for the first time
since 2019. The return was a great success, with more than $14,000 worth of donated items sold. Proceeds from
this event go to support the Stay Active Fund, which helps pay for Senior Center memberships and programs for
seniors in need of financial assistance. In addition to the monetary benefit of Hidden Treasures, the months of
sorting, pricing, and preparation for the day of the sale provided members an opportunity to give back. More
than 50 volunteers donated over 1,000 hours.
Winter Holiday Events – Parks and Recreation staff held the annual Tree Lighting event. This heartwarming event
brought the community together to experience the joy and excitement of the holiday kickoff. Other sold-out, fee-
based holiday programs include Breakfast with Santa with over 300 registrations, and Santa Visits in which Santa

Senior Strategy Survey – The City of Cupertino conducted a Community Assessment Survey for Older Adults
(CASOA) to better understand the contributions that adults (50+) make to their communities, as well as the needs
they have and challenges they experience. The feedback will help the City be sure that our policies and programs
align with our residents’ values. This survey was conducted in partnership with Polco, an online civic
engagement platform that enables residents to provide direct input to local government decision-making
processes. The survey launched in March, with 2,800 randomly selected households receiving a postcard
invitation to take the survey online. A week later, these same residents received a printed survey in the mail with
a postage-paid return envelope. In April, the open participation outreach window opened allowing all members
of the community a chance to complete the survey and share their input online. The survey closed on April 25
resulting in more than 630 responses.
Spring Swing Scramble at Blackberry Farm Golf Course - Hosted the first Spring Swing Scramble at Blackberry Farm
Golf Course on Saturday, April 23. The 36-person tournament had filled up a month in advance. Participants
were a mix of new and experienced golfers, including Blackberry Farm regulars and first-timers. At the
conclusion of play, there was a three-way tie for first place. To break the tie, the three teams participated in a
putting contest that went through three rounds before crowning a winner. Prizes were awarded to the first-place
team and the contest hole winners for the closest to the pin and longest drive. The event was a success, with many
participants inquiring about future tournaments.

teen community an opportunity to come speak to staff about summer jobs and volunteer opportunities. In
conjunction with the Job Fair, Teen Commission also hosted the City's first 'Spring Window Decorating,' which
highlighted local youth-led organizations. The Wildfire Awareness Initiative Organization, Fremont Animation
Club, Cupertino Teen Commission, and Youth Activity Board set the tone for spring with amazing window art!
This teen day was topped off with the teen organization, Health Connect, running a spike ball tournament for
teens attending the event.
Activities at McClellan Ranch Preserve - From March to May, City staff hosted third grade classes from the
Cupertino Union School District and guided them on environmental educational tours around the preserve. The
Creek Tours, which serve students across the Cupertino Union School District, are an essential component of the
third-grade curriculum. The tours introduce students to the local watershed, the importance of keeping a healthy
creek by reducing pollutants and promoting a healthy relationship with nature. Along with Creek Tours,
McClellan Ranch Preserve hosted a variety of highly popular Park Ranger led activities including a night hike and
flashlight tour, apex predator workshop, wildflower walk, and wildlife tracking class. Additionally, the Baer
Blacksmith shop was open monthly for open houses and facilitated regular blacksmithing classes for adults and
teens.
Festivals - City staff worked with several festival organizers to ensure festivals offered at Memorial Park met with
all City policies and guidelines while providing large-scale events for the community in a fun and safe manner. In
FY 23, the festivals were Dilli Haat, Day N' Night Fest, Diwali, Community Egg Hunt, Holi, Cherry Blossom, and
Relay for Life. The Ikebana Show was also hosted at Quinlan Community Center presented by the Wafu School of
Ikebana. On November 11 at 11 a.m. Cupertino Veteran’s Memorial held the Veteran's Day Ceremony at the
Memorial in Memorial Park.
Events – City staff directly coordinated several fee-based events in FY 23. City Parks and Recreation staff hosted
the Cupertino Campout. More than 190 campers from 80 families of all skill levels visited Creekside Park to camp
under the stars. Participants enjoyed mobile recreation activities, the McClellan Ranch Preserve pop-up museum,
crafts, and an outdoor movie. Scout troop members from Troop 688 volunteered as campsite attendants to assist
families with setting up their tents. Staff also hosted a sold-out Halloween special event, Monster Mash. Families
enjoyed a night of crafts, games, and trick-or-treating at the Quinlan Community Center. The first in-person
spelling bee since 2020 returned for 2nd through 5th graders, hosted by the Cupertino Parks and Recreation
Department and the Cupertino Youth Activity Board. Over 35 students battled in a fierce competition to be the
best speller. This year’s Spelling Bee was moderated and judged by members of the Teen Commission and Youth
Activity Board. The Parks and Recreation Department also hosted the second in-person Big Bunny 5K and Kids
Run since 2019. This year's event had over 500 participants with 5K runners navigating the local streets around
the Civic Center Plaza.

FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Budget Message 40
Budget Overview
The Adopted Budget for the upcoming fiscal year highlights a decrease in both expenditures and revenues
compared to the previous year's Adopted Budget. Total expenditures are expected to be $121.8 million, a $8.8
million or 6.8%, reduction from the previous year. Similarly, total revenues are anticipated to be $110.2 million, a
$20.0 million or 15.4%, decrease from last year's Adopted Budget.
Expenditures in the General Fund, which supports the majority of City operations, are expected to be $86.1
million, a decrease of $9.1 million or 9.6%, from the previous year's Adopted Budget. General Fund revenues are
anticipated to be $80.3 million, which is a $14.4 million or 15.2%, decrease from the previous year's Adopted
Budget.
As shown in the chart below, the largest fund is the General fund at 71%.
The graph below summarizes the changes in the City’s General Fund over the last five years:
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Budget Message 41
The FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget proposes funding for a total of 212 positions, representing a reduction of 14
positions from the FY 2022-23 Amended Budget. This reduction is due to revenue shortfalls resulting from the
California Department of Taxes and Fee Administration (CDTFA) audit. It is important to note that the 14
positions being eliminated are vacant positions that have not been filled for various reasons such as resignation,
retirement, or the positions being left unfilled.
To address the City's staffing levels in a responsible and sustainable manner, staff has developed a plan to
gradually reduce staffing levels over the next decade through the elimination of vacant positions. The plan aims
to eliminate 3-4 vacant positions annually until the City reaches a staffing level of 180 positions, which is
consistent with the levels in FY 2015-16.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Budget Message 42
The City acknowledges that reducing staffing levels is difficult and may result in the elimination of some services.
Nevertheless, the City is committed to balancing the budget responsibly while continuing to provide essential
services to the community. By gradually reducing staffing levels, the City can avoid any significant disruptions
and ensure that services are not compromised while also addressing the need for responsible fiscal management.
Changes to the Budget and Policies
Revised Fees
On July 18, 2023, the City Council approved the fee schedules for FY 2023-24. Moreover, the Matrix Consulting
Group is currently conducting a comprehensive fee study, which is expected to be considered for City Council
adoption in late 2023.
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 CommiHee reviews the policy and acts as an oversight commiHee
on investments. The policy directs that an external auditor perform agreed-upon procedures to review City
compliance with the policy. The Audit CommiHee reviewed and accepted the current Investment Policy on April
24, 2023. The City Council approved the current City Investment Policy on May 16, 2023.
GANN Appropriations Limit
The City’s FY 2023-24 appropriations limit is $127,886,394, an increase of $5,129,872, or 4.2%, from the FY 2022-23
limit of $122,756,522. If a city exceeds the legal limit, excess tax revenue must be returned to the State or citizens
through refunds, rebates, or other means that may be determined at that time. For FY 2023-24, 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 deliberations.
Budget Audit and Updated Policies
Moss Adams, the City's internal auditor, conducted a review of the City’s budget development and monitoring
processes to improve workflows, communication, and alignment with industry standards. The review revealed
that the City's budget process adheres to 76 out of 80 criteria established by the Government Finance Officers
Association (GFOA). However, four elements lacked documentation to support alignment with best practices.
To address this, the report recommended developing a prioritized implementation plan to align the City's budget
process with GFOA best practices in the four categories that are not aligned. Consequently, staff has taken several
steps to ensure the City's alignment with GFOA best practices in these areas.
These steps include the following:
Developing a Balanced Budget Policy, which is included in the FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget.
Coordinating with departments to ensure each has a performance measure linked to City financial
outcomes in the FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget.
Working with the City Manager's Office to resume the community survey in FY 2023-24 to monitor
stakeholder satisfaction.
Updating the City's budget policies and procedures to describe the process for adjusting the City's broad
goals, which are adjusted as part of the City Work Program.
Enhancing the budget process by developing internal budget policies and procedures that were reviewed
by Moss Adams during the Policies and Procedures Review.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Budget Message 43
Budget by Fund
General Fund
The General Fund is the primary source of funding for critical services in the community, including law
enforcement, public works, community development, park maintenance, code enforcement, and administrative
support services. These services are financed mainly by local taxes such as sales tax, property tax, and transient
occupancy tax, as well as other discretionary sources. The General Fund is responsible for financing services that
do not have dedicated funding sources, ensuring that essential public services are available to the community.
The City's General Fund revenues for the upcoming fiscal year are projected to be $80.3 million, representing a
significant decrease of $14.4 million or 15.2% from the FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget. This decline is due to a
California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) audit of one of the City's taxpayers, which is
expected to result in a substantial reduction in sales tax revenue. The City is expected to experience a $30 million,
or 73%, decrease in sales tax revenue from the original FY 2023-24 projections provided by its sales tax consultant,
HdL. This corresponds to a decrease of $30 million, or 28%, in General Fund revenue.
General Fund expenditures for the next fiscal year are $86.1 million, indicating a $9.1 million, or 9.6% decrease
from the FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget. This reduction is due to the implementation of several expenditure
reduction strategies, which include:
Eliminating 14 vacant positions
Decreasing expenditures on materials and contract services
Reducing spending on special projects and capital outlays
Reducing the City Manager's Contingency Fund by $25,000 and contingencies by 50%
Decreasing the amount of transfers to other funds
Utilizing the City's Section 115 Trusts to fund pension and OPEB (Other Post-Employment Benefits) costs
Through these measures, the City aims to balance its budget while ensuring that essential services continue to be
provided to the community.
The following chart shows four years of total revenue, expenditures, and changes to fund balance for the General
Fund:
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Budget Message 44
In FY 2023-24, the General Fund's unassigned fund balance is projected to be $47.1 million, a decrease of $5.4
million, or 11.0%, from the FY 2022-23 Amended Budget. Total fund balance is estimated to be $104.4 million, a
decrease of $5.8 million, or 5.2%, from the FY 2022-23 Amended Budget. The decrease is primarily aHributable to
a $5.8 million deficit in FY 2023-24 due to a decrease in revenue resulting from the CDTFA audit. The deficit will
be funded by unassigned fund balance.
As shown in the graph below, the majority of General Fund resources are used to support Public Works (28%),
Law Enforcement (21%), Community Development (14%), Non-Departmental (8%), Administration (9%), and
Parks and Recreation (7%). Non-Departmental expenditures are transfers to other funds.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Budget Message 45
Special Revenue Funds
Special Revenue Funds are established to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally
restricted for expenditures for particular purposes. The largest Special Revenue Fund is allocated to streets, roads,
and transportation, while other funds are designated for storm drain management, affordable housing programs,
and park development.
For the upcoming fiscal year, the Adopted Budget for Special Revenue Funds is $10.4 million, which represents a
decrease of $0.8 million or 7.5% compared to the FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget. This reduction is aHributed to a
decrease in pavement expenditures.
The Special Revenue Funds receive funding from two sources: $10.5 million in restricted department revenue and
$2.5 million in transfers, resulting in a total funding of $13.0 million. The Special Revenue Funds are expected to
end the year with a fund balance of $31.9 million, reflecting an increase of $2.6 million from the previous year.
This increase in fund balance is mainly due to the housing mitigation revenue in the BMR Housing Fund.
Debt Service Funds
The Public Facilities Corporation Debt Service Fund provides for the payment of principal, interest, and
associated administrative costs incurred with issuing debt instruments. On September 29, 2020, the City’s 2020A
Certificates of Participation (2020 COPs) were successfully sold to refund the City’s 2012 Certificates of
Participation for debt service savings. The refunding generated net present value savings of approximately $3.14
million, 11.61% of refunded par, and a True Interest Cost of 0.72%. Savings to the City’s General Fund amounts to
approximately $494,000 per year for the next ten years or almost $5 million in total savings. The debt is expected
to be fully paid by FY 2029-30.
The Adopted Budget for Debt Service Funds is $2.7 million, relatively unchanged from the FY 2022-23 Adopted
Budget. The Debt Service Funds are funded by $2.7 million in transfers from the General Fund.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Budget Message 46
Capital Projects Funds
Capital Projects Funds are used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities and infrastructure.
Capital Projects Funds include the Capital Improvement Projects Fund, Stevens Creek Corridor Park Fund, and
Capital Reserve Fund. These funds are used to finance the implementation of projects identified in the City's five-
year Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
The Adopted Budget for Capital Projects Funds is $4.2 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 16.4%, from last
year's Adopted Budget. This increase is due to transfers from the Capital Reserve Fund to the Capital
Improvement Projects Fund.
The Capital Projects Funds are primarily funded through a combination of transfers from the General Fund,
grants, donations, development impact fees, and other dedicated revenue sources. As projects are completed, any
remaining funds are typically rolled over into the Capital Reserve Fund to be used for future projects.
Enterprise Funds
Enterprise Funds are designed to support services that are funded directly by fees charged for goods or services.
The City's Enterprise Funds include Resource Recovery for the solid waste collection franchise, Blackberry Farm
for the City-owned golf course, Sports Center for the Cupertino Sports Center, and Recreation Programs for
cultural, youth, teen, sports, and physical recreation programs.
In the Adopted Budget, the Enterprise Funds are allocated $9.7 million, which represents an increase of $0.7
million or 7.4%, from the FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget. The Enterprise Funds are funded by $6.7 million in
program revenue and $2.9 million in reserves. The Enterprise Funds are projected to end the year with $3.5
million in reserves, a decrease of $2.9 million. This decrease is due to the use of reserves, which were
accumulated in previous years. During the pandemic, the Parks and Recreation funds accumulated reserves as
revenues were higher than expenditures.
Internal Service Funds
Internal Service Funds are for goods or services provided to other City departments or governments on a cost-
reimbursement basis. These funds include programs for innovation and technology, workers’ compensation,
equipment, compensated absences, long-term disability, and retiree medical insurance.
The Adopted Budget for Internal Service Funds is $8.7 million, which is a slight decrease of $0.1 million or 1.6%,
compared to last year's Adopted Budget. The Internal Service Funds are funded by $4.2 million in program
revenue, $1.3 million in transfers from the General Fund, and $3.2 million in reserves. The Internal Service Funds
are projected to end the fiscal year with $(0.1) million in reserves, decreasing by $3.2 million. Although the
Internal Service Funds show a negative net position, it's important to note that retiree health expenses will be
reimbursed by the Section 115 OPEB Trust at the close of each fiscal year.
This decrease in reserves is due to the City's decision to eliminate the General Fund transfer to the Retiree
Medical Fund in FY 2022-23. Instead, the City plans to fund Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) costs with
the City's Section 115 OPEB Trust, as the City's OPEB plan is over 100% funded. The City will continue to monitor
the Internal Service Funds to ensure they remain sustainable and effective in supporting City operations.

increasing by 3.2% in the third quarter. The increase in the fourth quarter primarily reflected increases in
inventory investment and consumer spending that were partly offset by a decrease in housing investment. The
deceleration in the fourth quarter, compared to the third quarter, primarily reflected a downturn in exports and
decelerations in consumer spending, business investment, and state and local government spending. These
movements were partly offset by an upturn in inventory investment, a smaller decrease in housing investment,
and an acceleration in federal government spending. Imports decreased less in the fourth quarter than in the third
quarter.
Economic trends have been decelerating along with tighter financial conditions and restrictive monetary policy.
Recent data suggests positive but below-trend growth this year. Although the pace of job growth is moderating,
labor markets remain solid, and the U.S. consumer has demonstrated resiliency.
At the end of March, the 2-year Treasury yield was 169 basis points higher, and the 10-Year Treasury yield was
about 113 basis points higher, year-over-year. The inversion between the 2-year Treasury yield and 10-year
Treasury yield narrowed to -56 basis points at March month-end versus -90 basis points at February month-end.
The average historical spread (since 2003) is about +130 basis points. The inversion between 3- month and 10-year
Treasuries widened to -128 in March from -89 basis points in February. The shape of the yield curve indicates that
the probability of recession is increasing.
As of March 2023, the U.S. unemployment rate stood at 3.5%, showing a slight decrease from 3.6% in March 2022.
This rate is comparable to the 3.5% reported in February 2020 before the start of the pandemic. The participation
rate rose to 62.6%, up from 62.4% in the previous year but still below the February 2020 level of 63.4%. The U-6, a
broader measure of unemployment that includes those marginally aHached to the labor force and employed part-
time for economic reasons, declined to 6.7% from 6.9% in March 2022.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Budget Message 54
Despite concerns over inflation, bank collapses, and a possible recession, American consumer confidence showed
a slight increase in March following two consecutive monthly declines. According to the Conference Board, the
consumer confidence index rose from 103.4 in February to 104.2 in March. However, while consumers expressed
slightly more optimism about the short-term future, their confidence in current conditions decreased. This marks
a reversal from recent surveys. The Conference Board notes that although there was an uptick in confidence, the
index still remains below the 2022 average level of 104.5. The latest results also reveal that consumer expectations
of inflation over the next 12 months remains elevated at 6.3%.
According to the California Employment Development Department (EDD), the state's unemployment rate held
steady at 4.4% in March 2023, the same as in March 2022. The EDD also reported that employers added 8,700
nonfarm payroll jobs to the economy in March 2023. Total employment reached 17,967,800, up by 2.5% (432,100
jobs) compared to the same period last year.
The California Association of Realtors (CAR) reported a 4.8% decline in median home prices and a 33.2% decrease
in sales in February compared to the previous year. Similarly, Santa Clara County's growth rate also slowed
down, with a 17.6% fall in prices of single-family homes and a 37.9% decrease in sales compared to the same
period last year.
Cupertino Economic Conditions
The unemployment rate in the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara MSA was 3.3% in March 2023, up from a revised
3.2% in February 2023, and above the year-ago estimate of 2.9%. This was below the unemployment rate for
California and the nation during the same period.
Housing prices remain relatively strong compared to the same period in 2022. Based on data from Redfin, the
median sales price for an existing single-family home was $2,758,000 in March 2023 compared to $3,400,000 in
March 2022. The City experienced a net taxable value increase of 7.24% for the 2022-23 tax roll.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Budget Message 55
Key Budget Assumptions
Revenue Assumptions
The City's General Fund revenues heavily depend on property tax, sales tax, and transient occupancy tax (TOT).
However, the ongoing CDTFA audit is expected to alter the way sales tax is allocated to the City, leading to a
significant reduction in sales tax revenue. As a result, the City anticipates General Fund revenues to decrease by
$30 million, or 28%, from original projections.
Personnel Assumptions
FY 2023-24 salaries and benefits reflect the cost-of-living adjustments approved by the City Council in August
2022. The City is currently negotiating with its bargaining groups because the agreements, which expire on June
30, 2025, include a salary and benefits reopener. In the forecast, full-time salaries are expected to increase by the
CalPERS payroll growth rate. On the other hand, part-time salaries are forecasted to grow at a rate of 1.5%, which
is a slower rate than full-time salaries.
Employees who have yet to reach the top step in their classification’s salary range are eligible to receive a step
increase on their anniversary date. Typically, classifications have five steps, with each increase equivalent to a 5%
increase in salary. Currently, approximately 38% of employees are below Step 5.
Non-Personnel Assumptions
Non-Personnel budgets were developed based on previous year's actual expenditures and adjusted for the
current year's needs. One-time projects were excluded to reflect ongoing expenditure needs. In response to the
anticipated revenue shortfall resulting from the CDTFA audit, departments were asked to find ways to reduce the
base budget. To balance the budget, various categories including materials, contract services, capital outlays,
special projects, transfers to other funds, and contingencies were reduced in the Adopted Budget.
Ongoing Challenges
Retirement Benefits
Rising retirement costs are driving the increase in employee benefits. Cupertino offers retirement benefits to its
employees through the California Public Employee’s Retirement System (CalPERS), which experienced a
significant decline in its assets due to poor investment returns during the Great Recession. Moreover, changes in
actuarial assumptions and enhanced benefits due to higher life expectancies have further increased the plan's
liabilities. Consequently, the City's pension costs have escalated considerably and currently constitute one of the
City's largest financial obligations.
The table below illustrates the City's CalPERS costs over the next few years.
In December 2016, the CalPERS Board of Administration implemented a three-year phase-in beginning in FY
2018-19 to lower the discount rate from 7.5% to 7.0%, resulting in significant increases in retirement costs. In FY
2021-22, the discount rate was further reduced to 6.8% due to the FY 2020-21 investment gain of 21.3%, which
triggered the Funding Risk Mitigation Policy.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Budget Message 56
To mitigate the impact of pension rate volatility on the City's budget, the City established a Section 115 Trust in
May 2018. The Section 115 Pension Trust had a balance of $19.1 million as of June 30, 2023, which can be utilized
to fund pension costs.
Revenue Volatility
The City of Cupertino heavily relies on business-to-business (B2B) sales taxes for its sales tax revenue, making it
highly sensitive to economic fluctuations. The City experienced the impact of this volatility during the dot-com
crash from 2000 to 2004. The heavy reliance on the high-tech industry makes the City vulnerable, and the loss of
one of the top three sales tax producers in FY 2013-14 made the City more dependent on a single tax producer,
further increasing its vulnerability to business volatility.
The COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 significantly impacted the City's revenues from sales and transient occupancy
taxes. Although certain sectors, such as restaurants and hotels, brick-and-mortar retail and restaurants, were
severely affected, the City experienced an increase in business-to-business sales tax revenues and County pool
allocation share. The increase in sales tax revenue was aHributed to the rise in online sales due to statewide
shelter-in-place mandates and the higher demand for computer and electronics equipment due to the shiO to
remote work. While the City's sales tax revenues reached historic highs in FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22, the City
considers it a one-time event, and the recovery of the restaurant and hotel, general consumer goods, and
automotive industry groups did not offset the declines in business-to-business sales tax and County pool
allocation as online sales decreased from their recent historic highs. Transient occupancy tax revenue decreased
due to reduced business travel during the pandemic but has begun to recover in FY 2022-23.
In December 2021, the CDTFA informed the City that an audit would be conducted on one of its taxpayers. The
CDTFA verbally notified the City in March 2023 of its preliminary determination that tax dollars had been
misallocated to the City, discussing the potential impacts on the City. The CDTFA is expected to issue a formal
leHer to the City within the next four to six months, providing the final audit results and the actual amount of
money lost. As a result of the audit, the City's sales tax revenue is expected to significantly decrease.

Community Development, and Public Works. Each department budget includes a summary narrative, financial
information for the department and each of its major divisions, and staffing information.
Expenditures for employee compensation and benefits are based on negotiated contracts. The materials categories
of expenditures are based on a zero-base budget, with increases each year by the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
Contract services are also based on a zero-based budget, with increases each year based on negotiated increases or
CPI. Capital outlays are justified each year by the departments. Special Projects include one-time operational
projects.
Non-Departmental Operating Budgets: This section details historical and budgeted expenditures for inter-fund
transfers and debt service payments.
Capital Improvement Program (CIP): The Capital Improvement Program is in a separate document, called
Capital Improvement Program, that details the proposed capital projects for the next five fiscal years. The five-
year plan denotes funding sources and a description of each project. The City Council approves funding for
capital projects yearly. The project may expend the funds over multiple years.

The inclusion of current and historical "actual" and "budget" information is a necessary component of the
Government Finance Officer's Association (GFOA) reporting requirements. Due to the extensive amount of
financial data, it is important to understand the meaning of these tables. "Actual" data represents actual revenues
or expenditures that have been recognized or incurred in the respective fiscal year. Although amounts were
budgeted in those years, these actual amounts are irrespective of the budget which should be taken into account
when comparing historical actuals with current budgeted figures. Historical budget versus actual information for
the last 4 fiscal years at the account detail level is available in the Appendix on the City's budget website
(cupertino.org/budget).

History
“This place of San Joseph Cupertino has good water and much firewood, but nothing suitable for a seBlement 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 Arroyo San Joseph
Cupertino. However, first impressions can oOen 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 seHler, Elijah Stephens, a blacksmith from South Carolina, moved to
the area—at this time, named simply ‘West Side’ and primarily owned by the government. AOer 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 the early West Side, many of the newest advances in agriculture were being developed. SeHlers 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, aHacking the roots of the
grapevines, killing the grapes, and puHing 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 farmland, more family holdings
gathered around the crossroads. Starting off as just a post office and home union store, West Side’s humble
crossroads brought many diverse communities, all aHracted by the preferable climate and profitable market for
crops.
As more people were drawn to the area around the crossroads, the orchards were gradually replaced with
modern houses for workers. The population steadily grew, and the face of West Side changed, progressing into a
more modern town. The community wanted to rename the city, so as to not confuse it with other cities, as well as
establish a unique identity. John T. Doyle, a lawyer from San Francisco, and writer of historical anthologies on the
area chose the name “Cupertino” after the original name of the creek.
AOer 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, spliHing 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 aHracted
several large technology corporations. Lockheed Martin, HP, Intel, and many other big names established
themselves in Silicon Valley. Apple Inc. was founded in Cupertino in 1976 and quickly grew into the tech giant
it’s known for today.

Apple Park Visitor Center
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 Silicon Valley. People immigrated here for a variety of reasons—whether they were
aspiring for career prospects with major tech companies, or striving for quality education for their children,
everyone who immigrated here had a common goal: to find opportunities to work hard for a beHer life for
themselves and their families.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Community Profile 74
Community Economic Profile
Cupertino, with a population of 60,869 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, while at the same time, being supportive of redevelopment projects to bring in new investment.
Cupertino is world-renowned as the home to high-tech giant Apple, Inc., and as a community with stellar public
schools. De Anza College, one of the largest single-campus community colleges in the country, is another major
employer and a magnet for aHracting local and international students. The City’s proactive economic
development efforts and a high-touch approach has resulted in an innovative environment for start-ups and
growing companies to thrive, including Bromium, Moxo Cupertino, DURECT, Xisilicon Semiconductor Inc,
Claspp, Panasonic Venture Group, Altia Systems, Mirapath, Aemetis Inc, Mist Systems, and many more. The City
strives to retain our companies and aHract new ones through active outreach and a responsive, streamlined, and
customer-oriented entitlement process.
Cupertino has a number of mixed-use development projects offering diverse retail and dining options, as well as
providing additional housing opportunities to meet the needs of the growing community. There are also quite a
few development projects underway including: Westport Cupertino, Marina Plaza, Alan Row, and Canyon
Crossing. Further, City Council recently approved the 283,000 square foot mixed Office/Commercial Apple
development at 19191 Vallco Parkway.

FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Financial Policies 92
Annual Budget Process
Adopted Budget
The City Council annually adopts a budget by resolution for the upcoming fiscal year. The adopted budget – a
policy document, financial plan, operations guide, and communications tool – authorizes expenditures for the
activities and funds specified in the budget. It is the basis of the City’s financial planning and control.
Budget Process
The City’s annual budget follows a July 1 to June 30 fiscal year. However, the budget process continues
throughout the year, including phases of:
Development
Proposal
Adoption
Monitoring
Amendment
Carryover
Development
Budget development begins in December with the base budget, where departments review and adjust ongoing
operational costs. The base budget does not include any one-time initiatives. Departments must justify all new
costs each year.
Proposal
Every year in March, departments prepare budget proposals for new ongoing or one-time initiatives. These
proposals are reviewed by Finance staff, who use data from current and past years to evaluate their feasibility.
The city's long-term financial forecast is also taken into account to ensure that budget decisions align with the
city's financial goals.
The City Manager, with the assistance of the Director of Administrative Services and Budget Team, reviews the
proposals and selects the proposals to be included in the Proposed Budget. The Proposed Budget is published by
May 1st.
In May, staff presents the Proposed Budget to the City Council during a proposed budget study session.
Commissions, commiHees, community organizations, and the public are all welcome to review and provide
feedback on the Proposed Budget. During the session, City Council members have the opportunity to ask
questions, offer suggestions, and provide recommendations to staff on the Proposed Budget.
Adoption
In June, the City Council holds a public hearing to consider the Proposed Budget presented by staff. At this
hearing, an updated version of the Proposed Budget is presented, and staff addresses any questions or concerns
that were raised during the study session.
AOer the presentation, City Council members deliberate and vote to adopt the budget. The adopted budget
authorizes expenditures for the specific activities and funds outlined in the budget. This ensures that the city has a
clear plan for how to allocate its resources in the upcoming fiscal year.
The adopted budget goes into effect on July 1st, marking the beginning of the new fiscal year.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Financial Policies 93
Monitoring
AOer the budget is adopted, the City enters the budget monitoring phase. Throughout the year, departments
monitor their budgets to ensure spending does not exceed the budget.
In addition to the annual proposed and adopted budgets, staff reports to the City Council quarterly. Quarterly
reports update the City Council on any changes from July 1 through the end of the quarter. Quarterly reports
help:
Compare budget versus actuals.
Forecast year-end results.
Demonstrate the City is on track to end the year within budget.
Update City Council on any changes to the budget.
Amend the budget to account for any unforeseen changes.
If amendments to the budget are required outside of this cycle, staff can seek approval through the budget
amendment process (see next section).
Amendment
AOer the budget is adopted, a department may request a change through a budget amendment. A budget
amendment is required to:
Allocate additional appropriations during the fiscal year
Reallocate appropriations between line items during the fiscal year
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
accounts and/or programs as needed. Transfers between fund types need approval by City Council.
City Council approval is also required for additional appropriations from fund balances or from new revenue
sources.
Carryover
Unexpended and unencumbered appropriations expire at the end of the fiscal year. A budget carryover allows an
unspent appropriation to be carried over into the next fiscal year. A department may request a budget carryover
for a project or purchase that is not expected to be completed in the current fiscal year. The department may only
use the budget carryover for its original purpose.
Budget Reporting Cycle
The following chart illustrates the City’s budget reporting cycle.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Financial Policies 94
Citizen Participation
The budget study session and budget hearings are public meetings where citizens are allowed to comment on the
budget. The public can also provide feedback on budget format to the Audit Committee.
The City's annual community budget workshop is held every April. However, this year, City staff are hosting a
variety of budget outreach events by educating the community on budget-related topics at local farmer's markets,
Cupertino festivals, and in front of the Cupertino Library. Additionally, the City hosted a Budget Town Hall
event on May 18, 2023. These outreach efforts educated the community about the City's current budget
challenges and budget reduction strategies.
OpenGov Financial Transparency Portal
In order to facilitate understanding and transparency of the budget document, the City presents budget
information through OpenGov, an online tool that provides users with different views of the City’s budget data
by fund, department, revenues, and expenditures. The tool can be accessed by visiting cupertino.org/opengov .

FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Financial Policies 96
Structure of City Finances
Cost Accounting
Fund costs are allocated to user departments or operating funds based on salaries, equipment and soOware
purchase price, actuarial studies, and actual and projected service level. The City of Cupertino has five internal
service funds: Innovation & Technology, Vehicle & Equipment Replacement, Workers' Compensation,
Compensated Absences & Long-Term Disability, and Retiree Medical, whose costs are allocated to City
departments. Please view the Cost Allocation Plan and 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.
Cost Allocation Plan
All overhead costs are allocated to the appropriate program within the limits of local, state, and federal laws.
Beginning in FY 2013-14, the City allocated indirect and overhead costs based on a Cost Allocation Plan (CAP). In
FY 2015-16, Matrix Consulting Group developed a full CAP for the City. Matrix Consulting Group developed the
plan based on "Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" (GAAP) and indirect cost allocation methods defined
by the federal Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Circular A-87. Matrix Consulting Group is in the
process of updating the CAP, which will be included in the FY 2024-25 budget. Generally, the CAP is updated
every five to seven years.
In addition to the direct cost of providing services, the City has indirect costs. Indirect costs include shared
expenses where a department provides support to other departments (e.g., legal, finance, human resources, IT,
facilities, and maintenance). The CAP allows the City to understand the full cost of providing specific services to
the community more accurately. For example, the full cost of the Quinlan Community Center includes its direct
costs (e.g., salaries, benefits, materials, and contracts) plus its indirect costs (e.g., finance, human resources, and
IT). The CAP helps the City analyze the full cost of the Quinlan Community Center as if it were a stand-alone
business that had costs for services such as finance, human resources, and IT.
The CAP distributes the allowable costs of central service programs to receiving programs. Central service
programs (e.g., City Manager's Office, City AHorney's Office, Finance, Human Resources, Innovation and
Technology, and City Hall building maintenance) provide support to other programs. Receiving programs, also
known as grantees, receive support from central service programs.
Method
The CAP follows the double step-down method, which uses two steps to allocate costs fully. In the first step, the
costs of central service programs are allocated to other central service programs and receiving programs. In the
second step, the total costs (including costs allocated in the first step) of central service programs are allocated to
the receiving programs only. Revenues are allocated directly to the central service program providing the service.
The CAP allocates costs to receiving programs based on an allocation base, which quantifies the use of each
service. For example,
Human Resources benefits costs are allocated based on each program's number of FTE.
Accounting costs are allocated based on each program's number of financial transactions.
IT costs are allocated based on the number of computer and mobile devices assigned to each program.
The CAP is updated annually. The FY 2023-24 CAP was prepared using data from FY 2021-22.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Financial Policies 97
Internal Service Funds
In addition to support services, all eligible funds are charged a prorated share of the costs for Innovation &
Technology, Vehicle & Equipment Replacement, and Compensated Absences.
Transfers
In addition to the allocation of costs between funds, the City also makes transfers from the General Fund to
various funds, which provide subsidies and resources to the receiving fund to support operating, debt service,
and capital project costs. General Fund subsidies are evaluated annually to ensure that funds outside of the
General Fund end the year with sufficient fund balance. Typically, transfers are made to Special Revenue and
Enterprise Funds that require subsidies due to their revenues falling short of full program costs. Furthermore, the
City has recurring transfers to the Debt Service Fund to fund the costs associated with the annual debt payment.
Basis of Budgeting
The 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 as the basis of accounting.
Governmental Funds
The Governmental Funds, which include the General, Special Revenue, Debt Service, and Capital Projects funds,
use a modified accrual basis. The modified accrual basis uses a current financial resources measurement focus. As
a result, only current assets and current liabilities and deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of
resources generally are included. Under the modified accrual basis, revenues are recognized when they become
"susceptible to accrual," which means they are both measurable and available. Measurable means the transaction
can be determined. Available means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereaOer to be used to
pay liabilities of the current period. For example, revenues from property taxes are determined to be available if
collectible within 60 days.
Proprietary Funds
The Proprietary Funds, which include Enterprise and Internal Service Funds, use a full accrual basis. The full
accrual basis uses an economic resources measurement focus. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are
recognized when earned, and expenses are recognized when incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash
flows. For example, property taxes are recognized as revenue in the year they are levied. Grants are recognized as
revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Departments, Divisions, and Programs
The budget is split into ten departments: Council and Commissions, Administration, Law Enforcement,
Innovation and Technology, Administrative Services, Parks and Recreation, Community Development, Public
Works, Non-Departmental (includes budgets that are not aHributable to any specific division), and Capital
Improvement Program. These departments are further split into divisions and then programs. The programs
within the divisions are balanced at the department level within a given fund.
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR)
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) is prepared by the City's auditors according to generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) set by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The City's
auditor was Crowe, LLP from FY 2016-17 to FY 2021-22. Beginning FY 2022-23, the City's auditor is The Pun
Group, LLP.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Financial Policies 98
Fund Structure
In governmental accounting, a state or local government is not considered a single entity but is instead viewed as
a collection of individual business units known as 'funds.' This approach is known as fund accounting, which
emphasizes accountability rather than profitability.
Under fund accounting, each fund is a self-contained set of accounts that are segregated for specific purposes in
accordance with laws, regulations, or other limitations. This system ensures that funds are used for their intended
purpose and that there is transparency in the use of public funds.
The City's finances are structured into a range of funds that serve as the primary accounting and reporting entities
in governmental accounting. These funds are broadly categorized into two groups: Governmental Funds and
Proprietary Funds.
Governmental Funds
Governmental Funds are used to account for the City's general operations and other activities financed by taxes,
grants, and other governmental resources. These funds include the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital
Projects Funds, and Debt Service Funds. They are accounted for under the modified accrual basis of accounting.
General Fund
The General Fund is the primary operating fund for governmental services. The General Fund is a tax-supported
fund.
General Fund Purpose
100 General The General Fund is used to pay for core services such as public safety, parks
and recreation, 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 sales tax, property tax, franchise fees, charges for services, and a
variety of other discretionary sources.
130 Investment Accounts for activities related to the City's investment portfolio.
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 Storm Drain, Environmental
Management/Clean Creek, Community Development Block Grant, BMR Housing, Transportation, and Park
Dedication funds.

FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Financial Policies 104
Balanced Budget Policy
PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to ensure that the City has a balanced budget that is sustainable in the long term. It
aims to establish a clear definition of a balanced budget, promote a commitment to achieving this balance, and
ensure transparency and disclosure when there is deviation from the balanced operating budget.
SCOPE
This policy applies to all operating funds of the City. This policy excludes Capital Projects Funds and Debt Service
Funds.
POLICY
Statutory Balanced Budget
At a minimum, the City shall adopt a statutory balanced budget, where the City’s use of resources for operating
purposes does not exceed available resources for the fiscal year.
Structurally Balanced Budget
The City shall adopt a balanced budget where operating expenditures do not exceed operating revenues in the
ten-year forecast. The budget must be balanced not only during the current operating period but also in the
future, which is referred to as a structurally balanced budget.
Recurring revenues are the portion of a government's revenues that can reasonably be expected to continue year
to year, with some degree of predictability. Property taxes are an example of recurring revenue. Proceeds from the
sale of property are an example of non-recurring revenue. Recurring expenditures appear in the budget each year.
Salaries, benefits, materials and services, and maintenance costs are examples of recurring expenditures. Capital
asset acquisitions are typically non-recurring.
Balanced Budget Calculation
To calculate a balanced budget, the following factors shall be included: operating revenues, operating
expenditures, and interfund transfers. However, capital costs shall be excluded from the calculation. The use of
reserves and fund balance may be considered.
The accrual basis will be used to define revenues and expenditures.
Use of Fund Balance
If a structurally balanced budget is not possible for the City at a given time, reserves and fund balance may be
used to balance the budget. However, this should only be done in the context of a plan to return to structural
balance, replenish fund balance, and remediate the negative impacts of any short-term balancing actions that may
be taken. The plan should clearly specify the time period over which these actions will occur.
Noncompliance with Balanced Budget Policy
The policy permits noncompliance during the early stages of an economic downturn so that services can be
reduced in an orderly fashion.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Financial Policies 105
Responsibility for a Balanced Budget
The City Manager is responsible for making any necessary decisions on whether or not a budget is in balance.
They shall take appropriate action to bring the budget into balance if adjustments are needed during the fiscal
period.
Revised April 2023
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Financial Policies 106
Revenue Policies
PURPOSE
To establish revenue policies that assist the City in striving for and maintaining a diversified and stable revenue
system to prevent undue or unbalanced reliance on any one source of funds. This revenue diversity will shelter
the City from short-run fluctuations in any one revenue source.
SCOPE
All revenue sources across all funds.
POLICY
To the extent possible, maximize investment yield while maintaining a high level of liquidity for the City’s
anticipated capital costs;
Identify and recommend sources of revenue necessary to maintain the services desired by the community and to
maintain the City's quality of life;
Perform ongoing evaluations of existing sources of revenue to maximize the City's revenue base;
Recover costs of special services through user fees;
Pursue full cost recovery and reduce the General Fund fee subsidy to the degree feasible;
Allocate all internal service and Cost Allocation Plan charges to appropriate user departments; and
Monitor Enterprise activities remain self-supporting in the long term.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Financial Policies 107
Expenditure Policies
PURPOSE
To establish expenditure control policies 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 an analysis of the 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 ongoing
operating revenues;
Reduce costs and improve productivity through the use of efficiency and effective measures; and
Structure debt financing to provide the necessary capital while minimizing future debt service costs.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Financial Policies 108
Capital Improvement Policy
PURPOSE
To establish a Capital Improvement Programs (CIP) Policy to assist in future budget projections.
SCOPE
All anticipated CIP projects for the current fiscal year plus four additional fiscal years.
POLICY
The City will prepare an annual CIP for the current fiscal year that includes a projection of anticipated
programming and funding for a total of five fiscal years.
Projects included in the CIP will have information on the need for the project (project justification), description
and scope of work, total cost estimates, future operating and maintenance impacts, and funding sources.
The project justification will incorporate information on the factors that affect the prioritization of the project. The
factors to be considered include (but are not limited to) the Health & Safety of the community, continuation of
ongoing work, Community requests, General Plan and Master Plans' directives, staffing and operational
demands, sustainability and resiliency, and internal and external funding viability.
Changes to the CIP such as addition of new projects, significant 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 facilities 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.
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.

FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Financial Policies 109
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. SoOware 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);
enterprise software;
workgroup software; and
broadcast video and audiovisual equipment.
Laptops and associated peripherals, desktop soOware not being utilized across a workgroup or enterprise, 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.
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.
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
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Financial Policies 110
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 SoCware replacement shall be determined individually by IT and the end users. Only those large
(based on license count) 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.
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.

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; and
Monitor certain health and dental care benefits for retired employees. Funding the liability for future retiree
benefits will be determined by City Council action.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Financial Policies 112
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 commiHed and unassigned fund balance (General Fund only) in each fund for the ability to
meet the following economic uncertainties:
Economic Uncertainty – $24,000,000 and represents two months of General Fund (GF) 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
P E R S – $19,088,859 and represents the funds restricted for the City's pension obligations. In response to the
increasing retirement costs based on actuarial forecasts, the City created a secondary pension trust to help
stabilize the impact of pension cost volatility on the City's operating budget. To fund this secondary trust, the City
made an initial contribution. AOer that, the annual contributions are determined based on the difference between
CalPERS' current discount rate and a more conservative rate determined by the City. This difference will then be
transferred to the pension trust and used exclusively for the benefit of members in the plan.
The primary goal of establishing this secondary trust is to ensure that the City can continue to provide its
employees with the retirement benefits they have earned while maintaining fiscal responsibility. By using a more
conservative rate for calculating contributions, the City can beHer anticipate and manage pension costs and
mitigate potential negative impacts on the City's budget.
Funds in this trust are technically “restricted” under Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Statement No. 54 in that the funds are legally restricted to be used for retirement costs; however, the timing for
which these funds may be used is only at the discretion of City Council.
Capital Projects – $10,000,000 and represents the amount of General Fund resources readily available to fund
future capital projects in the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The City’s Capital Projects Funds has a
$5,000,000 reserve threshold; however, establishing a secondary reserve in the City’s General Fund will enable
more efficient and accurate short- and long-term capital budgeting and planning.
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
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Financial Policies 113
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 commiHed 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, with the exception of the PERS restricted
reserve, are classified as CommiHed Fund Balance under GASB Statement No. 54. CommiHed 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 commiHed 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 commiHed fund balances listed in this policy,
a recommendation will be brought to City Council for approval and a plan to replenish the commiHed balance
will be developed in conjunction with its use.
Excess – Funding of these reserves will come generally from one-time revenues, annual net income, and transfers
from other reserves that exceed policy levels. They will be funded in the following priority order with any
remaining funds to be placed in the Capital Reserve:
1) Economic Uncertainty
2) PERS

Appropriations and Legal Debt Limit Margin
Gann Appropriations Limit
In 1979, California voters approved Proposition 4, the Gann Initiative, and added Article XIIIB to the California
State Constitution. Article XIIIB 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 puHing a cap on the total proceeds of taxes that may be appropriated each year.
Proposition 111 and Senate Bill 88, approved by California voters in June of 1990, offered cities more flexibility in
choosing inflation and population factors to calculate the limit.
The following chart and table show the appropriations limit and actual expenditures subject to the
appropriations limit.
Actual Expenditures from the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR)
1
1
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Financial Policies 120
The limit is different for each agency and changes annually. It is calculated by taking the amount of tax proceeds
that were authorized to be spent in FY 1978-79 and adjusting for changes in inflation and population each
subsequent year.
Proposition 111 changed the way the limit is calculated and allowed a City to increase its limit annually in two
ways:
By the percent change in per capita personal income in California or the percent change in the assessment
roll the preceding year due to the addition of local non-residential new construction; or
By the percent change in county or city population.
The City used the following factors from the California Department of Finance.
Price Factor
(A) Percent Change in California Per Capita Personal Income: 4.44%
Population Factor
(B) Percent Change in County Population: -0.25%
(C) Percent Change in City Population: -0.87%
The City multiplied the FY 2022-23 appropriations limit by Price Factor (A) and Population Factor (B) to calculate
the FY 2023-24 appropriations limit, as shown below:
FY 2022-23 Appropriations Limit $122,756,522
Price Factor (A)1.0444
Population Factor (B)0.9975
FY 2023-24 Appropriations Limit $127,886,394
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget Financial Policies 121
The City’s FY 2023-24 appropriations limit is $127,886,394, an increase of $5,129,872, or 4.2%, from the FY 2022-23
limit of $122,756,522.
Legal Debt Margin
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 the assessed valuation was based upon 25% of market value. Effective
FY 1981-82, each parcel is now assessed at 100% of market value (as of the most recent change in ownership for
that parcel). The computation shown below reflects a conversion of assessed valuation data for FY 2021-22 from
the current full valuation perspective to the 25% level that was in effect at the time that the legal debt margin was
enacted by the State of California for local governments located within the State.

All Funds Summary
This section provides information on the FY 2023-24 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. For descriptions of funds, see Financial Policies: Fund Structure.
Revenue Estimates
Estimates for FY 2023-24 fund balance and individual revenue accounts are based upon a careful examination of
the collection history and paHerns 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 and/or internal factors outside of the City's control.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget All Funds Financial Schedules 127
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 have decreased by $3.3 million. Other Taxes is decreasing due to a decrease in BMR housing
mitigation revenue. Use of Money & Property is increasing due to budgeting for interest earnings in each fund.
Fines and Forfeitures decreased due to decreased admin citations for Non-Point Source. As a result of anticipated
revenue shortfalls due to the CDTFA audit, transfers from the General Fund to the Special Revenue Funds have
been reduced as part of an expenditure reduction strategy aimed at decreasing General Fund subsidies of Special
Revenue Funds.
Expenditures
Expenditure uses have decreased by $0.8 million primarily due to a decrease in Capital Outlays and Contract
Services. Capital Outlays are lower as Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects are not budgeted. The City is
currently working on an updated Capital Improvement Program, which was presented to City Council on May 17
and added for Council consideration at the final budget hearing and adoption. As part of an expenditure
reduction strategy, departments decreased their materials and contract services.
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. It is projected to increase by
$2.6 million due to BMR housing mitigation revenue for Aloft and 19191 Vallco Parkway.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget All Funds Financial Schedules 128
Debt Service Fund
The Debt Service Fund provides for the payment of principal, interest, and associated administrative costs
incurred with the issuance of debt instruments for the City’s Public Facilities Corporation. The budget funds the
Corporation’s annual payment of principal and interest on the City Hall/Community Hall/Library Certificates of
Participation (COP) that will be paid off by July 1, 2030.
On September 29, 2020, the City’s 2020A Certificates of Participation (2020 COPs) were successfully sold in order
to refund the City’s 2012 Certificates of Participation for debt service savings. The refunding generated net present
value savings of approximately $3.14 million, 11.61% of refunded par, and a True Interest Cost of 0.72%. Savings
to the City’s General Fund amounts to approximately $494,000 per year for the next ten years or almost $5 million
in total savings.
Revenue
Revenue sources are relatively unchanged from the last fiscal year. The $2.7 million transfer from the General
Fund funds the annual payment of principal and interest for the City’s debt.
Expenditures
Expenditure uses are relatively unchanged from the last fiscal year. The $2.7 million in expenditures represents
the annual payment of principal and interest for the City’s debt.
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. Fund balance is unchanged
from the last fiscal year.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget All Funds Financial Schedules 129
Capital Project Funds
This fund pays for the acquisition of major capital facilities and/or construction of major capital projects.
Revenue
Revenue sources have decreased by $0.5 million because Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects are not
budgeted. The City is currently working on an updated Capital Improvement Program, which was presented to
City Council on May 17 and added for Council consideration at the final budget hearing and adoption. As a result
of the revenue shortfalls stemming from the CDTFA audit, the annual transfers from the General Fund to the
Capital Reserve have been eliminated.
Expenditures
Expenditure uses have decreased by $0.6 million because Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects are not
budgeted. The City is currently working on an updated Capital Improvement Program, which was presented to
City Council on May 17 and added for Council consideration at the final budget hearing and adoption.
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.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget All Funds Financial Schedules 130
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
Projected revenue sources are expected to increase by $0.6 million, driven by an increase in charges for services.
However, as a result of anticipated revenue shortfalls due to the CDTFA audit, transfers from the General Fund
to the Enterprise Funds have been reduced as part of an expenditure reduction strategy aimed at decreasing
General Fund subsidies of Enterprise Funds.
Expenditures
Expenditure uses have increased by $0.7 million due to an increase in contract services and cost allocation
resulting from expenditure-reduction strategies.
Net Position
Enterprise funds carry net position instead of fund balance. Net position is calculated by taking the beginning
balance and then adding the difference between revenue and expenditures to arrive at the ending net position.
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. It is projected to decrease due to revenues
being lower than expenditures.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget All Funds Financial Schedules 131
Internal Service Funds
Internal Service Funds are used for areas where goods or services are provided to other departments or
governments on a cost-reimbursement basis. Internal Service Funds include Information & Technology, Vehicle &
Equipment Replacement, Workers' Compensation, Compensated Absences & Long-Term Disability, and Retiree
Medical funds.
Revenue
Revenue sources have decreased by $2.4 million as a result of reduced transfers from the General Fund for IT,
Workers' Compensation, and Compensated Absences. Furthermore, starting in FY 2022-23, the City will be
funding Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) costs with the City’s Section 115 OPEB Trust, as the City’s OPEB
plan is over 100% funded. This has led to the elimination of transfers from the General Fund to the Retiree
Medical Fund.
Expenditures
Expenditure uses have decreased by $0.1 million mainly due to a decrease in Materials.
Net Position
Internal Service Funds carry net position instead of fund balance. Net position is calculated in the same manner as
fund balance, taking the beginning balance and then adding the difference between revenue and expenditures to
arrive at the ending net position. However, some of the resources are not liquid and represent capital assets.
These monies are generally accumulated to support capital replacement and/or expansion needs. It is projected to
decrease by $3.2 million due to revenues being lower than expenditures. Although the Internal Service Funds
show a negative balance, it's important to note that retiree health expenses will be reimbursed by the Section 115
OPEB Trust at the close of each fiscal year.

General Fund Summary
The General Fund is the City's main operating fund, responsible for providing essential services such as law
enforcement, public works, community development, park maintenance, code enforcement, and administrative
support. It is funded by discretionary sources such as property tax, sales tax, transient occupancy tax, and utility
tax. The General Fund is typically reserved for operations that lack other dedicated funding sources, while
operations such as street maintenance, solid waste collection, and recreation are funded from other sources,
detailed in the All Funds Summary section of this document.
For FY 2023-24, General Fund revenue estimates are $80.3 million, reflecting a $14.4 million or 15.2% decrease
from the previous fiscal year's Adopted Budget, mainly due to a sales tax decrease resulting from a CDTFA audit.
General Fund expenditure estimates for the current fiscal year are $86.1 million, an $9.1 million or 9.6% decrease
from the previous year's Adopted Budget. The General Fund's ending balance is projected to decrease to $104.4
million.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 143
General Fund Revenues
FY 2023-24 General Fund revenue sources have been carefully evaluated by considering collection history,
seasonal paHerns, and economic performance. These estimates are based on projected increases or decreases in
activity and receipts in the upcoming year. It is important to note that each revenue source can be affected by
external or internal factors beyond the City's control.
As shown in the chart below, FY 2023-24 revenues are estimated at $80.3 million, a 15.2% decrease from the FY
2022-23 Adopted Budget.
The majority of Cupertino's General Fund operating revenues are generated by property taxes (40%), charges for
services (15%), sales taxes (14%), and transient occupancy taxes (9%). The chart below illustrates the sources of
General Fund revenue by category.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 144
The FY 2023-24 General Fund revenue estimates are discussed by category below.
Sales Tax
Sales and Use Tax, commonly known as the "sales tax," consists of two components: an excise tax levied on
retailers for selling tangible personal property, and an excise tax applied to purchases from out-of-state vendors
that are not required to collect tax on their sales. The revenue generated from sales and use taxes collected within
Cupertino's boundaries is allocated by the State to various agencies, with the City receiving one percent, as
depicted in the chart to the right. The City is exploring a potential new source of revenue by monitoring
competing interests for the ¼ cent sales tax imposed on local governments. If a similar ballot measure is presented
to the vfrters in the future, the City could maintain local control over the additional sales tax proceeds.
The City's sales tax revenue comes from five primary economic categories: business-to-business (including
electronic equipment and soOware manufacturers and distributors), state and county pools, restaurants and
hotels, general consumer goods, and fuel and service stations and other. The California Department of Tax and
Fee Administration (CDTFA) manages the collection and administration of sales and use taxes, which is a
significant source of revenue for the state and local governments. Businesses are required to register for a sales
tax permit and collect taxes from their customers, and the collected taxes are then remiHed to the CDTFA for
distribution to the relevant local governments. In addition, the CDTFA conducts audits to ensure tax compliance
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 145
by businesses. The City receives a portion of the sales tax revenue generated within its boundaries, which funds a
wide range of City services and programs.
In December 2021, the CDTFA informed the City of an audit that would be conducted on one of its taxpayers.
The City was verbally informed in March 2023 of the CDTFA's preliminary determination that tax dollars had
been misallocated to the City, and potential impacts on City funds were provided. The CDTFA is expected to
provide the City with a formal leHer in the next four to six months, including the final results of the audit and the
actual amount of money lost.
As a result, the City is expected to experience a $30 million, or 73%, decrease in sales tax revenue from the
original FY 2023-24 projections provided by its sales tax consultant, HdL. This corresponds to an overall revenue
decrease of $30 million, or 28%. In particular, sales tax revenues, which were expected to generate $31.9 million in
the FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget, are now anticipated to amount to only $11.4 million in FY 2023-24, marking a
decline of 64%.
Property Tax
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 that changes ownership,
property that 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.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 146
In 1978, voters approved the passage of Proposition 13, which froze property tax rates and limited the amount
that rates could increase each year. Cupertino had one of the lowest property tax rates in Santa Clara County,
receiving only $0.02 for every $1.00 paid. Subsequent legislation required Counties to provide "no/low tax" cities
with a Tax Equity Allocation (TEA) equal to 7% of the property tax share. However, the property tax distribution
for the no/low tax cities in Santa Clara County was limited to 55% of what other TEA cities in the State received.
In FY 2006-07, West Valley cities won the passage of State legislation which restored a portion of TEA property
tax revenue. This TEA change provided an additional $1.35 million in property tax annually and increased the
City's share of property taxes to 5.6%. In conjunction with three other West Valley cities, Cupertino 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. In FY 2019-20 TEA was fully restored, and Cupertino kept
approximately 7.0% of property tax revenues in FY 2019-20 compared to 6.72% in FY 2018-19. Additionally, the
Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF), enacted in July of 1992 by the State Legislature to shiO local
tax revenues from cities, counties, and special districts to a State control ERAF, absorbs the shift-back of the TEA.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 147
The City experienced a net taxable value increase of 7.2% for the FY 2022-23 tax roll. The bulk of the increase was
due to increases in residential properties by $1.3 billion, or 7.2%. This category makes up 61.1% of the net taxable
value. Unsecured property tax decreased by $655 million, or 38%. This category makes up 3.5% of the net taxable
value. Lastly, commercial property values increased by $1.1 billion, or 13.1%. This category makes up 29.8% of the
net taxable value. According to the City's property tax consultant HdL, there were fewer sale transactions of
single-family residential homes sales and a flaHening in median sale prices during calendar year 2022. This
reduction in sales numbers were mainly driven by interest rate hikes. In most cities the median prices are still
higher overall than last year, but the month-over-month median price changes started trailing negatively towards
the end of 2022. Staff will continue to monitor the potential impact of long-term and even permanent remote
work in the City and region.
Transient Occupancy Taxes
Transient occupancy taxes (TOT) are levied on hotels and short-term room rentals located in the City at 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.
TOT is originally budgeted to end FY 2022-23 at $5 million, a 14% increase from FY 2021-22 actuals. However,
staff expects to exceed the estimated $5 million in the current fiscal year. The anticipated increase is due to the
relaxation of prior pandemic-based restrictions, allowing for increased travel and the return of employees to their
places of work. A recovery to a $7.5 million level is anticipated in FY 2023-24, up 50% from FY 2022-23 Adopted
Budget. Staff will continue to monitor these activities and bring forward adjustments and recommendations as
necessary.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 148
Utility Tax
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 received from telecom services, voters passed a measure in 2009
to update the ordinance to the changing technology in this area.
Budgeted revenues are expected to increase 11.8% to $3.3 million in FY 2023-24. This revenue source will be
monitored closely as the fiscal year progresses.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 149
Franchise Fees
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 agreement. As shown in the
graph below, these revenues are relatively steady and not sensitive to economic fluctuations.
In FY 2022-23, franchise fee revenues are trending down 7.2% from FY 2021-22 actuals primarily due to a decrease
in usage for cable, solid waste, and telecommunication costs, offset by an increase in electricity usage. Budgeted
revenues are expected to increase approximately 6.7% in FY 2023-24. This revenue source will be monitored
closely as the fiscal year progresses.
Other Taxes
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.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 150
With the influx of several major construction projects beginning in 2012, revenues began increasing. The largest of
the projects included the Apple Park and Main Street developments. These projects, coupled with a strong
housing recovery, created a record year for revenues in FY 2013-14. These revenues have since returned to
historic levels. In FY 2023-24, these revenues are expected to decrease by 8.2% from the prior year to $1.6
million. The projected decrease is based on a 3-year historical trend of actuals for property tax transfers. The
recent hikes in interest rates have caused a reduction in home sales numbers, having direct impact on property
tax transfers. For FY 2024-25 and later, a growth rate is applied that is representative of the historical average rate
of real property growth due to properties that have transferred ownership.
Charges for Services
Charges for Services account for charges to users of City services funded by the General Fund as well as internal
City-wide overhead. The City aHempts 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.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 151
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 (Human Resources, Finance, City Clerk, etc.) also began charging internal departments to capture the
true cost of providing various programs and services within City operations. AOer a comprehensive Cost
Allocation Plan was approved by Council in April 2016, internal strategic support services (City Council,
Facilities, Maintenance, etc.) were included. 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.
In FY 2022-23, the estimated amount is expected to come in roughly $2 million higher compared to budgeted
levels due to the Vallco Town Center (renamed the Rise) and its scheduled commencement in FY 2022-23.
However, due to the developer's need to hire a new architect to complete the buildout plans and to value engineer
the original design, the $2.3 million for plan review, inspection, and engineering fee revenues will be carried
forward and recognized in FY 2023-24.
License and Permits
Licenses and permits include fees for reviewing building plans, building inspections, construction, tenant
improvements, and commercial/residential installations for compliance with state and municipal building codes.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 152
Apple Park and large residential projects (Rosebowl, Biltmore expansion, Main Street) generated significant
permiHing revenues in FY 2013-14. Since then, activity has slowed until FY 2018-19, when revenues came in 48.8%
higher. Although this revenue source is relatively consistent from year to year, fluctuations may occur depending
on the timing of projects being completed. The $34 million estimated amount in FY 2022-23 is due to Vallco Town
Center (renamed The Rise) and its scheduled commencement in FY 2022-23. However, due to the developer's
need to hire a new architect to complete the buildout plans and to value engineer the original design, the $30
million plan check fee revenues will be carried forward and recognized in FY 2023-24.
Use of Money and Property
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. As of March 31, 2023, the City's portfolio included $21.3
million invested with the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and $149.7 million invested with Chandler Asset
Management. As of March 31, 2023, the City also had $18.3 million in its Section 115 Pension Trust.
Fluctuations in this revenue category are a result of investment earnings, as rental income is fairly steady.
Investment earnings were higher in FY 2019-20 and FY 2020-21 due to investment gains in the City's Section 115
Pension Trust. Investment earnings fell in FY 2021-22 due to mark-to-market adjustments to account for
unrealized losses in the City's portfolio.
The portfolio's market value fluctuates depending on interest rates. When interest rates decrease aOer an
investment is purchased, the market value of the investment increases. In contrast, when interest rates increase
aOer an investment is purchased, the market value of the investment decreases. At the time of purchase, the City
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 153
intends to hold all investments until maturity, meaning that changes in market value will not impact the City's
investment principal. If the market value decreases, the City will incur an unrealized loss. However, the loss will
only be realized if the City sells its investments before their maturity.
Investment earnings are a function of the amount of cash available for investment, current interest rates, and the
composition of investments. The City's investment objectives, in order of priority, are:
Safety to ensure the preservation of capital
Sufficient liquidity for cash needs
A market rate of return consistent with the investment program
Economic trends have been decelerating along with tighter financial conditions and restrictive monetary policy.
Recent data suggests positive but below-trend growth this year. Although the pace of job growth is moderating,
labor markets remain solid, and the U.S. consumer has demonstrated resiliency.
At the end of March, the 2-year Treasury yield was 169 basis points higher, and the 10-Year Treasury yield was
about 113 basis points higher, year-over-year. The inversion between the 2-year Treasury yield and 10-year
Treasury yield narrowed to -56 basis points at March month-end versus -90 basis points at February month-end.
The average historical spread (since 2003) is about +130 basis points. The inversion between 3- month and 10-year
Treasuries widened to -128 in March from -89 basis points in February. The shape of the yield curve indicates that
the probability of recession is increasing.
City staff will continue to monitor interest rates as well as economic factors in both the local as well as national
economies.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 154
Fines and Forfeitures
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. Revenues in this category dropped
significantly in FY 2020-21 due to pandemic related restrictions and have increased over the next few years as
society continued to rebound from the pandemic. In FY 2022-23, this revenue source is expected to reach
$427,000. Revenues in FY 2023-24 are expected to remain relatively consistent to FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget.
Intergovernmental
Intergovernmental revenues are made up of federal, state, and regional grants, including miscellaneous
intergovernmental revenue.
FY 2022-23 actuals are estimated to come in significantly higher than budgeted levels due to the recognition of
COVID-19 relief dollars as part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. The City recorded revenues of
$3,594,028 in FY 2021-22 and $6,100,745 in FY 2022-23. FY 2023-24 revenues in this category are anticipated to be
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 155
44% lower than the prior year Adopted Budget due to an anticipated decrease in grants or miscellaneous
intergovernmental revenue received.
Miscellaneous Revenue
Miscellaneous revenues account for unanticipated revenues such as donations and administrative fees.
In FY 2022-23, miscellaneous revenues are trending down 39% from FY 2021-22 actuals due to a restitution
payment related to the 2014 embezzlement and also a payment received for fees in-lieu of public art. The
proposed funds will be used for the all-inclusive playground at Jollyman Park. The majority of the General Fund's
miscellaneous revenues are due to an annual donation for additional sheriff services at Apple Park.
Other Financing Sources
Other Financing Sources generally account for refundable deposit revenues within the Community Development
Department. With significant fluctuations, year-over-year, staff conservatively estimate these revenues. In FY
2023-24, revenues are projected to be higher than the prior year adopted budget due to an increase in cost of
services from 3rd party consultants therefore increasing refundable deposit revenues.
This revenue source is expected to increase to $367,000 in FY 2023-24.
Transfers In
Transfers In represent the movement of funds from one City fund to another, the General Fund in this case.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 156
In FY 2021-22, actual transfers were high due to $4.8 million in transfers related to the American Rescue Plan
Act. In FY 2023-24, the City plans to transfer $15,000 from the City's Tree Fund to the General Fund to support
ongoing tree maintenance operations.

FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 160
General Fund Expenditures
The estimates for FY 2023-24 General Fund expenditures are based on a thorough analysis of anticipated
personnel and non-personnel costs. To create a more fiscally responsible budget, department budgets reflect a
base budget with only justified ongoing expenses. This accounts for changes in personnel costs as well as any
other anticipated or known increased costs in FY 2023-24.
FY 2023-24 expenditures are estimated at $86.1 million, which represents a 9.6% decrease compared to the
adopted budget from the previous year. This decrease is primarily aHributed to expenditure-reduction strategies
that include:
Eliminating 14 vacant positions.
Decreasing expenditure on materials and contract services.
Reducing spending on special projects and capital outlays.
Reducing the City Manager's Contingency Fund by $25,000 and contingencies by 50%.
Reducing transfers and General Fund subsidies to other funds.
As a result, expenditures were reduced by $20.3 million, or 19.5%, from the original FY 2023-24 Budget. This
budget was developed by taking the previous year's base budget and incorporating additional ongoing costs,
while also adjusting material and contract expenses based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), where applicable.
The largest General Fund operating expenditure categories include Employee Compensation and Benefits (42%),
Contract Services (29%), Cost Allocation (12%), and Transfers Out (8%) as illustrated in the FY 2023-24 General
Fund Expenditures by Category chart.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 161
Personnel Costs
In FY 2023-24, personnel costs are expected to reach $35.8 million, accounting for 42% of the General Fund
expenditures. These costs include salaries and compensation for benefiHed and part-time staff (69%), retirement
benefits (20%), and other fringe benefits (10%), such as health coverage.
To obtain these figures, the City extracted data from the payroll system and made necessary updates to account
for vacant positions, new hires, salary adjustments, and reallocated positions. Furthermore, the projected costs of
benefits for the upcoming year, such as retirement and health plans, were taken into consideration. It's worth
noting that the contribution for retiree healthcare, which is an ongoing expense, is not factored into personnel
costs as it will be funded separately through the Section 115 OPEB Trust.
The City expects CalPERS retirement rates to rise to $7.1 million, with the normal cost rate increasing to 10.7%,
based on the latest actuarial valuation report from CalPERS. These projections are reflected in the General Fund
forecast section of the budget.
The Adopted Budget includes funding for a total of 212 positions, which is 14 positions less than the FY 2022-23
Amended Budget. This reduction is aHributed to projected decreases in revenue following the CDTFA audit. As a
result, 14 vacant positions have been eliminated from the budget. These positions were vacant due to reasons
such as resignations, retirements, or not being filled at all.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 162
To address the City's staffing levels in a responsible and sustainable manner, staff has devised a plan to gradually
reduce staffing levels over the next decade through the elimination of vacant positions. The plan aims to eliminate
3-4 vacant positions annually until the City reaches a staffing level of 180 positions, which is consistent with the
levels in FY 2015-16. This gradual reduction approach will help ensure that essential services to the community
are maintained without significant disruptions.
Non-Personnel
In the General Fund budgeted appropriations for FY 2023-24, non-personnel costs make up 51% of the total at
$44.0 million. Contract services are the largest component at 29%, followed by cost allocation charges at 12%,
materials at 7%, and capital outlays and special projects at 1%.
One-time projects were separated into a different category in FY 2013-14 to ensure expenditure trends reflect
ongoing needs. In FY 2017-18, special projects and capital outlays were categorized separately from other costs.
Non-Personnel budgets were developed based on previous year's base budget and adjusted for the current year's
needs. One-time projects were excluded to reflect ongoing expenditure needs. Materials and contract services
were adjusted by CPI, where applicable. In response to the anticipated revenue shortfall resulting from the
CDTFA audit, departments were asked to find ways to reduce the base budget. To balance the budget, various
categories including materials, contract services, capital outlays, special projects, transfers to other funds, and
contingencies were reduced in the Adopted Budget.
Contingencies
In FY 2013-14, a contingencies expenditure category was added to each program to provide a cushion for any
unforeseen expenses. In FY 2020-21, the program contingencies and City Manager Contingency were reduced
from 5% to 2.5%. To further reduce expenditures, in FY 2021-22, the City Manager Contingency was reduced to
$75,000, and in FY 2022-23, program contingencies are being reduced to 1.25%, and the City Manager
Contingency is being reduced to $50,000. The City has a track record of underspending in this category. The
program contingency budget may be used by departments to cover unanticipated expenses at their discretion,
while the City Manager Contingency requires the approval of the City Manager and is reported to the City
Council quarterly for transparency and accountability.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 163
General Fund Transfers
Transfers out represent transfers of monies out of the General Fund to various other funds. These transfers
provide resources to the receiving fund to support operating and capital expenditures. Transfers from the General
Fund are as follows:
For descriptions of funds, see Financial Policies: Fund Structure.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 164
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.
CommiLed Fund Balance – includes amounts that can only be used for the specific purposes determined by
formal action of the City’s highest level of decision-making authority, the City Council. Commitments may be
changed or liOed 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 commiHed. The 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. Only the
General Fund reports a positive unassigned fund balance. A governmental fund other than the General Fund may
report a negative unassigned fund balance if expenditures incurred for a specific purpose exceed the amounts that
are restricted, committed, or assigned to those purposes.
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.

General Fund Forecast
Overview
City staff prepares medium-term (5-year) and long-term (10-year and 20-year) forecasts as part of the budget
process. While long-term projections may be less precise than short-term projections, they can help identify
potential structural budget issues in advance. However, given the unpredictability of the CDTFA audit, this
budget only includes a 10-year forecast.
The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) is currently conducting an audit on one of
the City's taxpayers. This is expected to have a substantial impact on the City's finances, with a projected decline
of $30 million, or 73%, in its sales tax revenues from the initial FY 2023-24 forecast provided by HdL, the City's
sales tax consultant. As a result, the City's total revenues are also anticipated to decrease by $30 million, or 28%,
from the original FY 2023-24 forecast.
The City recognizes the importance of fiscal prudence and responsible financial management in light of this
significant revenue loss. To address the potential shortfall resulting from the CDTFA audit, City staff has updated
the financial forecast and is actively exploring various strategies to balance the budget. Unfortunately, these
strategies will result in service level reductions for the community, and the impacts will be shared across all areas.
The City is also evaluating different revenue-generating options to mitigate the budget shortfalls caused by the
audit.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 167
To address the structural deficit caused by recurring expenditures consistently surpassing recurring revenues, the
City has been implementing cost-cuHing measures while ensuring that essential services continue to be provided
to the community.
The City is taking a proactive approach to minimize the impact on its staff and residents, and City staff will
continue to keep the Council informed of any new developments related to the audit and its impact on the City's
finances. It is crucial to note that the CDTFA audit has resulted in a structural deficit, and the City will need to
continue implementing long-term solutions to address this ongoing challenge.
Despite the challenging times, the City's financial position remains strong, and it has a number of advantages that
will help it weather the storm without having to resort to more painful cuts. These advantages include an
unassigned General Fund balance of over $50 million, a fully funded retiree healthcare program, and a Section
115 Pension Trust of over $17 million that can be used to offset the impact of revenue losses. These reserves can
be utilized to offset deficits until the City can align its ongoing expenditures with its revenues. It's important to
note that these reserves are one-time funding, which cannot be relied upon to sustain the City's finances in the
long run.
These resources give the City a buffer and more options to manage its finances effectively. With a solid financial
footing and prudent planning, the City is well-positioned to navigate these uncertain times and maintain its
commitment to its staff and community.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 168
Forecast Methodology
A financial forecast is a crucial tool for planning and budgeting, allowing staff to analyze trends and anticipate
the long-term impacts of budget decisions. It plays a vital role in modeling the effects of various factors, such as
retirement costs, employee compensation, and revenues, on the City's budget.
It is important to note that the forecast is not a plan but rather a model that relies on revenue and cost
assumptions, which are updated regularly as new information becomes available. While cost projections, which
are based on known costs, are relatively reliable, revenue forecasts are subject to uncertainties related to future
economic conditions. Economic forecasts can change frequently, making it difficult to commit to a particular
prediction of the future. As such, staff must update the forecast regularly to ensure it reflects the latest
information and trends.
While economic conditions are the primary drivers for economically sensitive revenues such as sales tax and
property tax, other factors drive non-economically sensitive categories such as utility user taxes and franchise
fees. These revenue categories are more heavily impacted by utility rate changes, energy prices, and consumption
levels. Revenues from local, state, and federal agencies are primarily driven by grant and reimbursement funding.
As a result, these revenues experience no significant net gain or loss during economic expansions or slowdowns.
All revenue projections are based upon trend analysis, including a careful examination of the collection history
and paHerns related to seasonality and the economic environment the City is most likely to encounter in the
future. Staff also considered the potential impacts of the CDTFA audit in determining the sales tax estimates.
A discussion of the national and local economic outlooks used to develop the revenue estimates for the FY 2023-
24 forecast is included below. To create 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 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.
The City's Consumer Price Index (CPI) forecasts are an average of State and County CPI from:
UCLA Anderson Forecast for the Nation and California
California Department of Transportation’s California County-Level Economic Forecast
In 2019, the City worked 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.
Prepare an 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
Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 2.6% in the fourth quarter of 2022, aOer
increasing by 3.2% in the third quarter. The increase in the fourth quarter primarily reflected increases in
inventory investment and consumer spending that were partly offset by a decrease in housing investment. The
deceleration in the fourth quarter, compared to the third quarter, primarily reflected a downturn in exports and
decelerations in consumer spending, business investment, and state and local government spending. These
movements were partly offset by an upturn in inventory investment, a smaller decrease in housing investment,
and an acceleration in federal government spending. Imports decreased less in the fourth quarter than in the third
quarter.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 169
Economic trends have been decelerating along with tighter financial conditions and restrictive monetary policy.
Recent data suggests positive but below-trend growth this year. Although the pace of job growth is moderating,
labor markets remain solid, and the U.S. consumer has demonstrated resiliency.
At the end of March, the 2-year Treasury yield was 169 basis points higher, and the 10-Year Treasury yield was
about 113 basis points higher, year-over-year. The inversion between the 2-year Treasury yield and 10-year
Treasury yield narrowed to -56 basis points at March month-end versus -90 basis points at February month-end.
The average historical spread (since 2003) is about +130 basis points. The inversion between 3- month and 10-year
Treasuries widened to -128 in March from -89 basis points in February. The shape of the yield curve indicates that
the probability of recession is increasing.
Cupertino Economic Outlook
The City does not anticipate significant impacts on property tax revenues in FY 2023-24. The City is optimistic
about the future of transient occupancy tax (TOT) revenues, as the relaxation of pandemic-related restrictions has
boosted business travel. Although strong in previous years, construction activity will continue to flaHen out as
recent large development projects, notably Apple Park, are now complete.
As more information becomes available, staff will bring forward updates and adjustments to City Council
regularly as necessary.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 170
Revenues
The City relies heavily on three revenue sources: property tax, sales tax, and transient occupancy tax (TOT),
which together make up the majority of its General Fund revenues. However, the City is facing a significant drop
in revenue due to the impact of the CDTFA audit, which is expected to reduce revenues by $30 million, or 28%,
from original projections.
The City's General Fund revenues are projected to be $80.3 million in FY 2023-24, and are expected to increase
over the forecast period. Property tax and transient occupancy tax are expected to continue to be strong revenue
sources, with projected increases. However, sales tax is projected to decrease significantly due to the CDTFA
audit.
The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), an American private nonprofit research organization, defines
the beginning and ending dates of recessions. The NBER defines a recession as "a significant decline in economic
activity spread across the economy, lasting more than two quarters which is six months, normally visible in real
gross domestic product (GDP), real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales. Since
World War II, recessions have lasted an average of 11.1 months and have occurred, on average, about every 58.4
months (4.8 years). As a result, the forecast assumes a recession every four years where revenues remain flat while
expenditures continue to increase.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 171
Sales Tax
Prior to FY 2023-24, sales tax has been the City’s largest revenue source. Sales taxes are collected at the point of
sale and remiHed to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA), formerly the Board of
Equalization. The CDTFA allocates tax revenue owed to the City in monthly payments. Each quarterly payment
is divided into three monthly payments: two advance payments and a final reconciliatory payment that reconciles
the actual revenue collected with the CDTFA's projected revenue for that quarter.
Sales tax revenues experienced a significant increase in FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22. The City's business-to-
business (B2B) industry and online sales were the primary drivers of this growth. The pandemic contributed to the
surge in B2B revenues as businesses transitioned to remote work. Meanwhile, brick-and-mortar retail sales
decreased due to Shelter-in-Place orders, resulting in an increase in online sales. However, the City believes this
increase was a one-time event due to the pandemic.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 172
In FY 2023-24, sales tax revenues are projected to be $11.4 million, a decrease of $30 million, or 73%, from the
original forecast due to the CDTFA audit. Sales tax revenues are projected to increase by an average annual
growth rate of 1.6% in the forecast. Staff used conservative estimates for business and industry, general consumer
goods, restaurants and hotels, and state and county pools.
The City faces a concentration risk due to the dependence on a single industry, particularly the B2B sector, which
is sensitive to economic forces. Two technology companies account for a significant portion of the City's total sales
tax revenue.
To mitigate the volatility of B2B revenue, the City's long-term fiscal, strategic plan aims to diversify its sales tax
sources. Recently completed development projects, such as Nineteen800 and Main Street, have boosted retail sales
and can help reduce the City's reliance on B2B revenue.
Property Tax
Property taxes are projected to remain stable in the near term. However, the impact of potential remote work on
property taxes in the long term is uncertain. The trend towards remote work has caused people to reconsider
where they choose to live, which could lead to a decrease in demand for residential real estate. Additionally,
companies may need less office space if fewer employees are working at the office, which could decrease demand
for commercial office space. This could result in a reduction of property tax revenue for the City.
In FY 2023-24, property tax revenues are expected to reach $31.7 million and increase at an average annual growth
rate of 3.1% in the forecast. The moderate forecast is based on a range of factors, including historical trends for the
City and projections for the region. While property tax has grown at an average annual rate of 11% historically,
this projection assumes a lower growth rate due to the absence of significant development projects.
It is essential to note that major development projects, such as Main Street and Apple Park, have been significant
contributors to the historical growth in property tax revenues. However, the current projection does not assume
any such developments in the near future, resulting in a more modest growth rate forecast.
The City will continue to monitor economic and market trends to ensure that property tax revenue projections
remain accurate.
Transient Occupancy Tax
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenues, with a dramatic
decline in revenues due to the reduction in travel. The City experienced a decrease in TOT revenues from $8.9
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 173
million in FY 2018-19 to $2.1 million in FY 2020-21, with a partial recovery to $4.4 million in FY 2021-22. TOT
revenues are heavily reliant on business travel, which may be affected by remote work or economic conditions.
Although leisure travel has recovered faster than expected, business travel has been slower to recover. The City is
cautiously optimistic that business travel will continue to increase in FY 2023-24.
The City's current forecast assumes that TOT revenues will recover to $7.5 million in FY 2023-24, and gradually
increase from the new normal. The forecast projects an average annual growth rate of 1.9% for TOT revenues. This
moderate forecast is based on historical tax collections and assumes slower growth than historical trends.
The TOT revenues are affected by the tax rate charged on hotels, occupancy rates, and average daily room rates
(ADR). Given that TOT revenues in Cupertino are mainly driven by business travel, any shiO in travel habits or
economic conditions could significantly impact this revenue source.
Licenses and Permits
Licenses and permits revenue is expected to decrease in FY 2023-24 due to the slowdown in development activity,
but is expected to increase slightly in the out-years. The City's forecast projects an average annual growth rate of
0.3% for licenses and permits revenue, based on forecasts of California residential building permits, non-
residential building permits, and construction payrolls from the UCLA Anderson Forecast for the Nation and
California.
It is important to note that this forecast does not take into account any significant development projects that are
awaiting approval. In the event that new development projects are approved, staff will update this forecast
accordingly.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 174
Charges for Services
Revenues from charges for services have decreased from their FY 2016-17 levels, primarily due to a decrease in
development activity.
Charges for services revenues are projected to increase at an average annual growth rate of 2.0%. Other Service
Fees, Cost Allocation Plan Charges for Services, and General Service Fees are expected to increase by 2.75%,
reflecting full-time salary growth. Planning Fees and Engineering Fees are forecasted based on construction and
development factors, such as California residential and non-residential building permits, and construction
payrolls from the UCLA Anderson Forecast for the Nation and California.
This forecast does not consider any significant development projects awaiting approval. The City will update the
forecast if new projects are approved.
Other Revenue
Utility taxes are forecasted to increase by an annual average growth rate of 0.5% based on historical trends. In
recent years, increases in rates have been offset by decreases in consumption.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 175
Franchise fees are projected to increase by an average annual growth rate of 1.2% based on a trend of historical
data.
Other taxes are made up of construction, property transfer, and business license tax revenue. Revenue is
projected to increase by an average of State and County CPI.
Use of money and property is expected to grow at a rate of 0.4% each year based on the City’s current
conservative investment strategy and low-interest rates. The Section 115 Pension Trust is expected to grow at the
discount rate of 6.25%.
Intergovernmental revenues are projected to grow at a rate of 0.4% each year.
Fines and Forfeitures are forecasted to remain constant in the forecast.
Miscellaneous revenues are forecasted to increase by CPI each year.
Non-operational revenues (Transfers and Other Financing Sources) are not assumed in the forecast.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 176
Expenditures
In FY 2019-20, the City developed a zero-based budget, which involved analyzing every function of the City for
its needs and costs. As a result, all costs were justified, and base budget savings were achieved.
However, for FY 2023-24, the City is facing an expected revenue shortfall due to the CDTFA audit. To address
this, departments have been asked to reduce their base budget expenditures by reducing materials and contract
services by 40% and 20%, respectively. These efforts will help balance the City's budget.
In addition to these cost-saving measures, the City is implementing several budget-balancing strategies,
including:
Eliminating 14 vacant positions
Decreasing expenditure on materials and contract services
Reducing spending on special projects and capital outlays
Reducing the City Manager's Discretionary Fund by $25,000 and contingencies by 50%
Decreasing the amount of transfers to other funds
Utilizing the City's Section 115 Trusts to fund pension and OPEB (Other Post-Employment Benefits) costs
To inform these decisions, the City developed a forecast based on actual expenditures in prior years and FY 2023-
24 projections. The forecast also considered factors such as CPI, construction and development activity, and
CalPERS Normal Cost and Unfunded Liability projections. The forecast will be adjusted throughout the year to
account for one-time changes and budget adjustments.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 177
The chart above illustrates the projected General Fund expenditures, which are estimated to be $86.3 million in
FY 2023-24, with an expected increase over the forecast period. The forecasted expenditure growth is primarily
driven by increasing Law Enforcement costs. To provide an in-depth understanding of the estimated expenditure
categories in the General Fund Forecast, the following discussion focuses on the assumptions made for each
category.
Personnel Expenditures
Salaries
FY 2023-24 salaries and benefits reflect the cost-of-living adjustments approved by the City Council in August
2022. The City is currently negotiating with its bargaining groups because the agreements, which expire on June
30, 2025, include a salary and benefits reopener. In the forecast, full-time salaries are expected to increase by the
CalPERS payroll growth rate. On the other hand, part-time salaries are forecasted to grow at a rate of 1.5%,
because historically, part-time salaries have tended to grow at a slower rate than full-time salaries.
Employees who have yet to reach the top step in their classification’s salary range are eligible to receive a step
increase on their anniversary date. Typically, classifications have five steps, with each increase equivalent to a 5%
increase in salary. Currently, approximately 38% of employees are below Step 5.
Health Benefits
In FY 2023-24, health benefits account for about 7% of all personnel costs in the General Fund, primarily due to
health insurance costs. The City pays employees a fixed amount for health and dental insurance costs instead of
covering a percentage of premiums. In October 2016, City Council approved labor contracts that significantly
increased the City’s health insurance contributions to align the City with the median offerings of our comparator
cities. For the duration of the contract, cost increases in health and dental premiums above the negotiated amounts
were fully absorbed by employees. The City is in negotiations with its bargaining groups, CEA and OE3.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 178
Retirement Benefits
Rising retirement costs are driving the increase in employee benefits. Cupertino offers retirement benefits to its
employees through the California Public Employee’s Retirement System (CalPERS), which experienced a
significant decline in its assets due to poor investment returns during the Great Recession. Moreover, changes in
actuarial assumptions and enhanced benefits due to higher life expectancies have further increased the plan's
liabilities. Consequently, the City's pension costs have escalated considerably and currently constitute one of the
City's largest financial obligations.
The table below illustrates the City's CalPERS costs over the next few years.
In December 2016, the CalPERS Board of Administration implemented a three-year phase-in beginning in FY
2018-19 to lower the discount rate from 7.5% to 7.0%. This was done to enhance the financial stability of the
pension system, resulting in significant increases in retirement costs. Additionally, in FY 2021-22, the discount
rate was further lowered from 7.0% to 6.8% due to the FY 2020-21 investment gain of 21.3%, which triggered the
Funding Risk Mitigation Policy.
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 three tiers. The table
below shows the current breakdown of City employees amongst the three retirement tiers. The majority of
employees in the City are currently covered under Tier 3.
A retiree's highest monthly pension benefits are calculated by multiplying:
Service credit: the number of years of CalPERS service.
Benefit Factor: percentage of pay based on age.
Compensation Basis: the highest monthly average salary for a defined period.
Other Benefits
The forecast assumes health insurance, dental insurance, and vision insurance increase by CPI. No increases were
forecasted for the following benefits: internet allowance, standby pay, Employee Assistance Program, and
Deferred Compensation. Rec Bucks are assumed to increase at a 0.5% growth rate.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 179
Non-Personnel Expenditures
Non-Personnel budgets were developed based on previous year's base budget and adjusted for the current year's
needs. One-time projects were excluded to reflect ongoing expenditure needs. Materials and contract services
were adjusted by CPI, where applicable. In response to the anticipated revenue shortfall resulting from the
CDTFA audit, departments were asked to find ways to reduce the base budget. To balance the budget, various
categories including materials, contract services, capital outlays, special projects, transfers to other funds, and
contingencies were reduced in the FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget.
Materials costs are forecasted to increase by CPI.
Contract Services costs are projected to grow by CPI except for the Law Enforcement contract with the Santa
Clara County Sheriff ’s Office. Law Enforcement costs are projected to grow by CPI plus 2%. Per the terms of the
contract, the annual increase is limited to the lesser of:
Percentage increase in total compensation and annual CalPERS cost increase
Annual CPI plus 2% and annual CalPERS cost increase
The City's current agreement with the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office is set to expire in June 2024, and
negotiations are ongoing for a new agreement. In anticipation of potential increases in Law Enforcement costs, a
placeholder increase has been included in the forecast. These costs have been a significant driver of the City's
expenditure growth in recent years, and it is expected that they will continue to increase in the coming years.
Cost Allocation is projected to grow by 2.8%.
Capital Outlays an d Special Projects are projected to increase by CPI. In the last five years, the City has spent
about $5 million per year on capital outlays and special projects, excluding development projects that include
pass-through revenue. Capital Outlays and Special Projects are being reduced as an expenditure-reduction
strategy.
Contingencies are projected to increase by CPI. Program contingencies are being reduced to 1.25%, while the City
Manager's Contingency Fund are being reduced to $50,000 in FY 2023-24. Program contingencies were cut in half
to 2.5% in FY 2020-21, and the City Manager ’s Contingency Fund was reduced to $75,000 in FY 2021-22. In prior
years, program contingencies were 5% of Materials and Contract Services, and the City Manager ’s Contingency
was 5% of General Fund Materials and Contract Services, excluding the law enforcement contract. It's worth
noting that the City has historically underutilized contingencies, and the use of these funds would require pre-
approval by the City Manager or their designee.
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. AOer the implementation of a comprehensive Cost Allocation Plan in FY 2015-16,
General Fund expenses have been shiOed 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 from the cost shiO; however, aOer 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 necessary to
maintain fund balance minimums.
Projected General Fund subsidies to each fund are based on the following assumptions:
Special Revenue Funds: $2.5 million annually.
Debt Service Funds: $2.7 million based on the 2012 COPS debt service schedule.
Capital Reserve: $0 million.
Retiree Medical Fund: $0 million.
Compensated Absences Fund: $0.8 million and increases at a rate of 2.8% per year.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 180
Innovation and Technology Fund: $1 million and increases at CPI annually.
Enterprise Funds: $0.5 million and increases at CPI per year.
Transfers from the General Fund to other funds have been reduced as part of an expenditure reduction strategy
aimed at decreasing General Fund subsidies of other funds.
The City is expected to complete its debt payments for city facilities by FY 2029-30. Until then, the City will pay
approximately $2.7 million annually in principal and interest on its Certificates of Participation for City Hall,
Community Hall, and Library. These funds will be transferred from the General Fund to the Debt Service Funds.
Starting in FY 2022-23, the City funds Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) costs with the City’s Section 115
OPEB Trust because the City’s OPEB plan is over 100% funded. The OPEB Trust had a balance of $36.1 million as
of March 31, 2022. Funding OPEB costs with the OPEB Trust will eliminate the transfers from the General Fund to
the Retiree Medical Fund.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 181
Pension
CalPERS
The City provides a defined benefit pension to its employees through the California Public Employees'
Retirement System (CalPERS). Retirement benefits are calculated using a formula based on an employee’s age,
earnings, and years of service. The retirement benefits are funded by:
Investment earnings (60%)
Employer contributions (29%)
Employee contributions (11%)
Each year, CalPERS determines an employer's contributions based on actual investment returns and actuarial
assumptions, including:
Expected investment returns (discount rates)
Inflation rates
Salaries
Retirement ages
Life expectancies
Contributions to fund the pension plan are comprised of two components:
Normal cost (the cost of the benefits earned in a respective year)
Amortization of the unfunded accrued liability (UAL)
CalPERS Discount Rate
Defined benefit plans are highly sensitive to the discount rate assumption. The discount rate is the expected rate of
return of the plan's assets over the long term. The discount rate will depend on the plan's size, asset allocation,
time horizon, and other considerations.
From the City's perspective, the discount rate is important as it is used to determine the City's annual
contributions to the plan, the plan's unfunded liability, and the plan's funded status. In other words, the discount
rate is used to determine whether a plan has enough assets to meet its future obligations. The discount rate must
be realistic to allow the City to foresee funding issues that may impact future operating budgets and future
generations of retirees and plan members. If the discount rate assumption is too high and investments earn less
than expected, a funding shortfall may result, requiring the City or CalPERS members to make greater
contributions than expected.
CalPERS Investment Earnings
The City's pension plan heavily relies on investment earnings, which fund nearly 60% of retirement benefits.
Thus, the plan is sensitive to the investment returns of CalPERS. When investment returns fall below the discount
rate, contributions must increase to cover the shortfall.
Currently, CalPERS assumes an annual investment return of 6.8%. However, the investment returns earned by
CalPERS have fallen short of the discount rate assumption approximately half the time over the past 20 years, as
shown in the chart below. Investment returns for individual fiscal years have ranged between -24.0% and +21.7%.
For instance, CalPERS suffered negative investment returns in 2001 and 2002 due to the dot-com crash and in 2008
and 2009 due to the Great Recession.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 182
Note: Beginning in 2002, investment returns are reported as gross of fees.
For FY 2021-22, CalPERS reported an investment return of -6.1%. The average investment return is 6.7% for a 5-
year period, 7.7% for a 10-year period, 6.9% for a 20-year period, and 7.7% for a 30-year period. As returns in a
given year are volatile, it can be more instructive to look at returns over longer time horizons.
CalPERS Update
Asset Liability Management Process
In November 2021, CalPERS completed its quadrennial Asset Liability Management (ALM) process, which
reviewed investment strategies and actuarial assumptions. At the November 15-17, 2021, meetings, the CalPERS
Board approved a 6.8% discount rate, selected a new asset allocation for the fund's investment portfolio, and
adopted new actuarial assumptions.
During the ALM process, the board examined different potential portfolios and their impact on the CalPERS fund.
Ultimately, the board selected the portfolio with an assumed investment return of 6.8%.
The new portfolio includes a 5% allocation to leverage.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 183
CalPERS Plan Status
As of the most recent actuarial valuation on June 30, 2021, the City’s pension plan had assets of $127.1 million and
liabilities of $168.4 million, resulting in an unfunded liability of $41.3 million and a funded ratio of 75.5%. The
unfunded liability is the difference between assets and liabilities, while the funded ratio is the ratio of assets to
liabilities.
A defined-benefit plan is considered adequately funded if its assets equal or exceed the value of its future
liabilities. When the funded ratio is lower than 100%, the plan has insufficient assets to pay all future liabilities.
The funded status of the system decreased because:
Poor investment returns during the Great Recession significantly decreased the plan’s assets.
Enhanced benefits and actuarial assumption changes due to increased life expectancies increased the plan's
liabilities.
Over the past few years, CalPERS has taken steps to improve the long-term financial sustainability of the system.
In December 2016, the CalPERS board voted to reduce the discount rate, also known as the assumed rate of return
for investments, from 7.5% to 7.0% over three years from FY 2018-19 to FY 2020-21. In February 2018, the CalPERS
board also voted to decrease the amortization period for new pension liabilities from 30 years to 20 years,
effective July 1, 2019. While these changes will provide long-term benefits to the pension plan, they will also
increase the City’s pension contributions.
Impact of CalPERS Investment Returns
CalPERS assumes it will earn investment returns of 6.8% each year. If investment returns are higher than 6.8%, the
City's contributions decrease. On the other hand, if investment returns are lower than 6.8%, the City's
contributions increase.
Challenging and volatile financial markets impacted CalPERS investment returns for FY 2021-22. During this
period, CalPERS earned an investment return of -6.1%, which is lower than the assumed rate. The investment
performance is expected to affect the City's pension contributions starting in FY 2024-25. In 2022, financial market
volatility increased due to heightened geopolitical risk, supply chain boHlenecks and persistent inflation, and the
Federal Reserve’s pivot to a less accommodative monetary policy.
Impact of CalPERS Discount Rate Changes
Due to lower-than-historical interest rates and economic growth, market experts project lower returns for the next
several decades. The Pew Research Center forecasts a long-term investment return of 6.5% for typical pension
fund portfolios.
During its Asset Management Liability Process, CalPERS considered discount rates between 6.25% and 7%.
Ultimately, CalPERS approved a discount rate of 6.8%, a decrease from the previous discount rate of 7%.
The discount rate has a significant effect on the City's CalPERS contributions. If the discount rate is less than the
discount rate assumption, the City's CalPERS contributions will increase. If CalPERS lowers the discount rate by
one percentage point, the City's contributions will increase by up to $2.9 million per year. This analysis would
show the potential contribution impact if CalPERS were to lower the discount rate.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 184
Section 115 Trust
A Section 115 Trust is a tax-exempt investment tool that allows local governments to pre-fund pension and retiree
health costs. Once contributions are placed into the trust, the City can only use assets from the trust for retirement
plan purposes. The City may make withdrawals to either reimburse the City for retirement system contributions
or to pay CalPERS directly. The benefits of a Section 115 Trust include the following:
Local control over assets: The City controls the contributions, withdrawals, investment strategy, and risk
level of assets in the Trust.
Pension rate stabilization: Assets can be transferred to CalPERS at the City’s discretion to pay for Normal
Cost or UAL contributions and can be used to reduce or eliminate large fluctuations in the City’s pension
costs.
Potential for higher investment returns than General Fund: Investment requirements applicable to the
City’s General Fund assets under Government Code 53601 do not apply to Trust assets.
Diversification: Trust assets will be diversified from CalPERS investments.
City Strategies
Given that pension obligations are one of the City’s largest financial obligations, the City has taken proactive
steps to reduce the impact of pension cost volatility. In March 2018, the City provided options to Council to
address rising pension costs. In April 2018, the City presented a long-term pension funding strategy to the Fiscal
Strategic Plan CommiHee. In May 2018, the City established a Section 115 Pension Trust to reduce the effect of
pension rate volatility on the City’s budget. The Section 115 Pension Trust helps the City to:
Grow assets for future pension contributions.
Invest assets over appropriate time horizons.
Earn higher investment returns than the General Fund.
Reduce pension contribution volatility.
Diversify funds from CalPERS investments.
As a fiscal sustainability measure, the City funds the Section 115 Pension Trust using a more conservative
discount rate of 6.25%. The City's pension funding goal is to accumulate sufficient funds in the Pension Trust to
fund the difference between a 6.25% and a 7% discount rate and achieve a funded ratio of 80% over 20 years. The
City's projections indicated that the City would need to accumulate over $42 million in the Pension Trust within
20 years to achieve its pension funding goal.
As a result, the funding strategy proposed $8.0 million in initial funding, along with additional funding of $10.0
million over the first five years. The City has contributed $16.0 million, including:
$8 million in FY 2018-19
$4 million in FY 2019-20
$2 million in FY 2020-21
$2 million in FY 2021-22
As of June 30, 2023, the Section 115 Pension Trust had a balance of $19.1 million and had earned an annualized
investment return of 5.51% gross of fees since inception.
FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 185
Fund Balance
The foresight of the City Council and staff in previous years to focus on ensuring healthy reserves is paying off in
full.
The General Fund’s Unassigned fund balance remains healthy and will be able to assist in addressing funding
gaps. In addition, the General Fund's Committed and Restricted fund balance includes:
Economic Uncertainty Reserve: may be used to mitigate potential shortfalls.
Capital Projects Reserve: may be used to fund capital projects.
Section 115 Pension Trust: may be used to fund pension costs. Funds in the Section 115 Pension Trust are
restricted and can only be used to pay CalPERS or reimburse the City for pension contributions.
In FY 2023-24, the General Fund’s total fund balance is projected to be $104.4 million, and the General Fund's
Unassigned fund balance is projected to be $44.1 million. Fund balance is decreasing due to a persistent structural
deficit, resulting from ongoing expenses exceeding ongoing revenues. To address this, the City intends to utilize
the fund balance to cover the shortfall until revenue and expenditure can be brought into alignment.

FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget General Fund Financial Schedules 187
Potential Budget-Balancing Strategies
Historically, the City has maintained a structurally sound budget, with revenues surpassing expenditures in most
fiscal years. During periods of excess revenue, the City has transferred the surplus fund balance to the Capital
Reserve Fund in accordance with the City's Fund Balance and Use of One-Time Funds Policy.
However, the forecast shows a potential structural deficit resulting from the anticipated decrease in sales tax
revenue due to the CDTFA audit. A structural deficit occurs when recurring expenditures consistently surpass
recurring revenues, leading to an ongoing imbalance that cannot be remedied through short-term solutions.

Program Overview
The City Manager Contingency program is designed to address unforeseen citywide expenses that may arise
during the year. To provide a cushion for any unexpected expenses, a contingencies expenditure category was
added to each program in FY 2013-14. This category was established to cover any unforeseen expenses that may
arise during the year. However, in FY 2020-21, the program contingencies were reduced from 5% of budgeted
materials and contract services to 2.5%.
To provide a second layer of contingency for any unexpected expenditures, the City Manager Contingency was
established. This contingency is in addition to the program contingency and is used for unexpected expenditures
that exceed the program contingency. In FY 2020-21, the City Manager Contingency was also reduced from 5% of
budgeted General Fund materials and contract services to 2.5%.
To further reduce expenditures, in FY 2021-22, the City Manager Contingency was reduced to $75,000. In FY 2022-
23, as part of an expenditure-reduction strategy, program contingencies are being reduced to 1.25%, and the City
Manager Contingency is being reduced to $50,000. These measures are aimed at maintaining fiscal responsibility
while ensuring that unexpected expenses can still be addressed.
The City has a track record of underspending in this category. The program contingency budget may be used by
departments to cover unanticipated expenses at their discretion. On the other hand, the City Manager
Contingency requires the approval of the City Manager before it can be used. Any usage of the City Manager
Contingency is reported by staff to the City Council as part of the quarterly financial report. This reporting
ensures transparency and accountability in the use of contingency funds.
Adopted Budget
On June 6, 2023, City Council approved a budget of $50,000 for the City Manager Contingency program. This
represents a decrease of $25,000 (-33.3%) from the FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget.
The table below illustrates the reductions made to the original FY 2023-24 Budget. This budget was developed by
taking the previous year's base budget and incorporating additional ongoing costs, while also adjusting material

Program Overview
The Law Enforcement program provides law enforcement, emergency communications, and School Resource
Officers. 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. 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 2016-17 school year. Furthermore, the City receives an annual donation for enhanced
law enforcement services (two additional deputies) in the C5 beat. The donation is $1.0 million for FY 2023-24.
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.
Provide annual Teen Academy during summer months providing community engagement and an
introduction to law enforcement for youth (budgeted in the Public Safety Commission).
Adopted Budget
On June 6, 2023, City Council approved a budget of $17,812,608 for the Law Enforcement program. This
represents an increase of $1,047,512 (6.2%) from the FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget.
The increase in Contract Services funding is due to contractually agreed-upon increases in salary and benefits for
Sheriff's Deputies and increases in the West Valley Substation facility lease agreement.

Program Overview
The Retiree Benefits program administers the City’s Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB).
Service Objectives
Provide investment oversight and appropriate funding for the City’s retiree medical liability. The City established
a trust account with Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) that will fund the future liability. Annual
contributions from the City are deposited into the trust and invested in a portfolio of equity, bond, and money
market funds.
Adopted Budget
On June 6, 2023, City Council approved a budget of $1,486,988 for the Retiree Benefits program. This represents
an increase of $98,712 (7.1%) from the FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget.
The increase is primarily due to increased costs based on the actuarial valuation for this benefit. Cost related to
retiree benefits also known as Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) are being funded by the 115 OPEB Trust
instead of a transfer in from the General fund as had been done prior years. This funding change began in Fiscal
Year 2022-23.

Program Overview
This budget augments the existing library service currently provided to our community through the Santa Clara
County (SCC) Library Joint Powers Authority.
Service Objectives
Provide increased library service for our constituents through support of 12 additional operational hours
per week.
Explore partnerships with the SCC Library for recreation and community programs.
Adopted Budget
On June 6, 2023, City Council approved a budget of $169,698 for the Library Services program. This represents a
decrease of $430,568 (-71.7%) from the FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget.
The cost for additional operational hours is confirmed from the Santa Clara County Library District and estimated
lower due to reimbursements received from the State.
There were no actual expenses in FY 2020-21. The budget was intended to fund the GoGoBiblio Program, which
was a two-year commitment approved in 2019. However, the program didn't run due to the pandemic and the
Santa Clara County Library District didn't ask for the funds that fiscal year.
There were also no actual expenses in FY 2021-22. The pandemic caused a delay in the completion of the
Cupertino Library Expansion project, which delayed the resumption of full operating hours more than halfway
through the fiscal year. For this reason, and additional funding available elsewhere, the Santa Clara County
Library District also didn't ask for the funds that fiscal year.

Program Overview
The Resource Recovery program manages the City’s garbage and recycling franchised hauler contract and
provides garbage and recycling customer service for residents and business owners; manages the City's garbage
disposal contract; develops and implements programs and policy to comply with State source reduction and
recycling mandates; oversees the free compost giveaway at the compost site; and represents the City on
countywide commiHees. The public education and outreach programs led by this division include visits to
businesses and apartment complexes to provide recycling instruction, kitchen containers, and visual materials;
presentations at events and schools and employee training for businesses on-site as needed. The program
coordinates many complimentary activities with the Sustainability program in the Office of the City Manager.
Service Objectives
Meet State requirements to divert recyclables and organics from landfill. Help businesses implement the
City’s Mandatory Organics Recycling ordinance (6.24.037) which ensures compliance with SB 1383,
California's Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy. Provide landlords and property owners
with support and educational materials for their tenants. Conduct waste characterization studies to
determine future services.
Provide contract oversight and customer service for garbage and recycling collection, garbage disposal,
yard waste processing, composting and household hazardous waste. Manage community events such as
the citywide Garage Sale and free compost giveaway for residents. Assist CUSD and high school teachers
and students with student recycling and composting projects related to teachers’ curriculum and the City’s
environmental initiatives.
Adopted Budget
On June 6, 2023, City Council approved a budget of $2,636,342 for the Resource Recovery program. This
represents an increase of $351,252 (15.4%) from the FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget.
This increase is due to increases in employee compensation and benefits, which reflect the cost-of-living
adjustments approved by the City Council in August 2022. This budget increase is also due to a slight increase in
materials and contract services. This program is 100% cost-recovered.

Program Overview
The Non-Point Source program manages the City’s compliance with its State-mandated Municipal Regional
Stormwater NPDES Permit. Compliance activities include program and policy development and implementation
of state-mandated complaint response and enforcement programs as well as annual interdepartmental staff
training; and scheduled business and construction site inspections. The program reviews development plans to
ensure compliance with low impact development (LID); and new Green Infrastructure Plan development
requirements. The program is responsible for calculating storm drain fees annually to submit to the County for
collection on property tax bills, writing an annual report to the Regional Water Quality Control Board to verify
and document the City’s compliance with Clean Water Act mandates, and engaging and educating the public via
City communication channels, visits to businesses and presentations at local schools, De Anza College and
community events. Public participation events in a typical year include two or more annual volunteer creek
cleanup days, an interactive water quality monitoring day, Earth Day and various countywide collaborative
events. Implementation and annual progress assessment of the City’s eight-year liHer reduction plan are among
the requirements of the City’s Non-Point Source program.
Service Objectives
Oversee the City’s compliance with the Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (MRP 2.0) with regard to
water pollution prevention, erosion control, conserving water as a resource (e.g. infiltration rather than
runoff ), and low impact development (LID) via the City's permit application process and conditions of
approval.
Coordinate urban runoff pollution and erosion prevention activities with other departments, divisions, and
private businesses. Mandated activities include: catch basin cleaning; post-construction oversight of
permanent stormwater treatment measures installed at private new and redeveloped sites; implementation
of, and annual progress assessments for the eight-year liHer reduction plan; oversight of construction best
management practices during private and public construction; inspection of grease-generating and wet-
waste food facilities and other businesses to prevent water-polluting discharges; complaint response and
investigation to protect water quality; and education of staff and local businesses on best management
practices for outdoor storage and activities.
Represent the City on county and regional commiHees to prevent creek and San Francisco Bay pollution,

Program Overview
The City has a joint use agreement for playing fields at schools in CUSD, and part of that agreement requires a
refund to CUSD of half of the fees they pay each year for the Clean Water and Storm Protection Fee, which is
based on parcel size and use category. The details of the fee prohibit using collected funds for providing discounts
or refunds, so funding for that purpose must come from the General Fund.
In addition, the City has a Clean Water Cost-Share Program allowing low-income property owners to receive a
discounted rate on the Clean Water and Storm Protection Fee that is charged on property tax bills. The details of
the fee prohibit using collected taxes for providing discounts or refunds, so funding for this purpose must come
from the General Fund.
Adopted Budget
On June 6, 2023, City Council approved a budget of $23,164 for the General Fund Subsidy program. This
represents a decrease of $7,051 (-23.3%) from the FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget.
The budget decrease is to better reflect the actual expenses in this program.

Program Overview
The Storm Drain Maintenance program manages the City's storm drainage collection system, which is comprised
of approximately 90 miles of pipe, 2,215 drain inlets, and storm outfalls to local waterways. An inspector and on-
call staff provide emergency response to pollutant discharges, and crews perform general system maintenance
including annual cleanout of drain inlets and trash capture devices. Collection and management of storm water
for the City is regulated under the terms of a Bay Area-wide National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit.
Service Objectives
Provide effective and timely inspection and maintenance of the storm drain system including inlet and
outfall structures and collection system.
Provide annual cleaning and inspection of all inlets and full trash capture devices.
Adopted Budget
On June 6, 2023, City Council approved a budget of $1,007,007 for the Storm Drain Maintenance program. This
represents an increase of $222,005 (28.3%) from the FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget.
The increase in budget is due mainly to a special project request. This increase is also due to increases in
employee compensation and benefits, which reflect the cost-of-living adjustments approved by the City Council
in August 2022.

On June 6, 2023, City Council approved a budget of $11,194,703 for the Non-Departmental department. This
represents a decrease of $3,494,900 (-23.8%) from the FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget.
The decrease in expenditures is mainly caused by a reduction in transfers to other funds. This is primarily due to
the expenditure-reduction measures implemented in other funds, which have resulted in a lower demand for
financial assistance from the General Fund. Moreover, transfers have been subject to fluctuations because in FY
2020-21 and FY 2021-22, excess fund balance was transferred to the Capital Reserve at mid-year. Additionally,
higher debt service expenditures in FY 2021-22, caused by the refinancing, were offset by revenues from Other
Financing Sources.

Program Overview
Non-Departmental programs encompass a variety of revenues that are not directly tied to any specific
department or program. These revenues include sales tax, property tax, and transient occupancy tax revenues,
which are then allocated to various departments as required.
Additionally, Non-Departmental programs also account for the transfers of monies between various funds, which
provide subsidies and resources to the receiving fund to support operating, debt service, and capital project costs.
General Fund subsidies are included in these transfers, which are evaluated annually to ensure that funds outside
of the General Fund end the year with sufficient fund balance. Typically, transfers are made to Special Revenue
and Enterprise Funds that require subsidies due to their revenues falling short of full program costs. Furthermore,
the City has recurring transfers to fund the costs associated with Annual Debt Payment and Compensated
Absences.
For more detailed information on General Fund revenues, please refer to the Financial Schedules: General Fund
Revenues.

Program Overview
The Debt Service Program accounts for the payment of principal and interest and associated administrative costs
incurred with the issuance of debt instruments for the City’s Public Facilities Corporation. The budget funds the
Corporation’s annual payment of principal and interest on the City Hall/Library, Wilson/Memorial Open Space,
and Library Certificates of Participation (COP) that will be paid off by the year 2030.
The majority of the borrowings occurred in early 1990 to acquire additional park real estate and expand
community facilities. A breakdown of the capital acquisitions follows:
Increased 90 acres of park real estate to 190 acres, a 111% increase
Increased 26,031 sq ft of recreation building space to 84,460 sq ft, a 224% increase
Specific purchases included:
Blackberry Farm - $18 million, voter-approved debt
Creekside Park - $12 million, voter-approved debt
Sports Center - $8 million
Quinlan Community Center, including park real estate - $6.1 million
Wilson Park and improvements - $5.6 million
Jollyman Park development - $1 million
City Hall renovation/improvements - $1.7 million
Library renovation/improvements - $1.7 million
New Library and Community Hall - $10 million
Most recently, the City added debt to fund the new Library and Community Hall in 2004.
In May 2012, the Corporation refinanced its $44 million in outstanding debt to lower the interest rate and save
approximately $350,000 per year in debt payments. On September 29, 2020, the City’s 2020A Certificates of
Participation (2020 COPs) were successfully sold to refund the City’s 2012 Certificates of Participation for debt
service savings. The refunding generated net present value savings of approximately $3.14 million, 11.61% of
refunded par, and a True Interest Cost of 0.72%. Savings to the City’s General Fund amounts to approximately
$494,000 per year for the next ten years or almost $5 million in total savings.
