Town of Parker 2024 Annual Budget
INTRODUCTION
MESSAGE FROM THE TOWN MANAGER December 14, 2023 To the Honorable Mayor, Members of Town Council and Citizens of the Town of Parker: On behalf of the Town of Parker, it is my pleasure to present the Town of Parker’s 2024 Annual Budget. Each year, the budget comes about through a rich collaboration between the Mayor and Council, the Parker community, and Town staff. We as the Town’s staff are proud of the outcome—a balanced budget that advances the Town’s priorities and further improves the quality of life for residents. The 2024 Budget continues the Town’s efforts to strengthen the services it provides while demonstrating disciplined fiscal stewardship. The Town Council adopted the 2024 Budget on November 20, 2023, following an extensive process by staff working with the Mayor and Council. As transparency and community engagement are essential to the Town’s success, budget discussions with the Mayor and Town Council began at a Budget Retreat in October and Study Sessions in October and November. Each of these meetings were open to the public. Additionally, the budget was posted on the Town’s website and presented during two public hearings, creating the opportunity for community feedback.
Town of Parker Strategic Goals The Town’s Strategic Goals establish the foundation for 2024 Budget priorities and for its operations. The Strategic Goals are:
• • • • • •
Promote a safe and healthy community Innovate with collaborative governance Enhance economic vitality Foster community creativity and engagement Support an active community Develop a visionary community through balanced growth
2023 Accomplishments The Town Council and staff worked together to complete a number of many exciting projects in 2023. Each contributes to the high quality of life enjoyed by Parker residents. Public Works and Engineering. Several high-traffic roads and sidewalks were improved to enhance safety and movement throughout the Town. Major road projects included improvements to the Hilltop Road and Canterberry Parkway intersection and reconstruction of a large section of Keyser Creek Avenue in the Anthology neighborhood. Over 100,000 square yards of streets were resurfaced and an additional 695,000 square yards of streets received maintenance in 2023. Three new traffic signals were installed to improve traffic safety, as well. Sidewalk improvement projects saw sections of Pikes Peak Avenue, Mainstreet, and Parker Road added to or widened in 2023. The Town has also started the design process for the extension of Dransfeldt Road from Twenty Mile Road to Motsenbocker Road (anticipated to be completed in 2025). The project will open a new north-south arterial route in western Parker to ease traffic along Parker Road and cut commute times. Introduction

MESSAGE FROM THE TOWN MANAGER INTRODUCTION (cont) Parks and Recreation. The Parks and Recreation Department celebrated the opening of the new Ray J. Harvie Park, a 71-acre open space park located at Mainstreet and Canterberry Parkway. Several trail improvement projects were started or completed in 2023, including completion of trails in Rowley Downs and along the High Plans Trail. Work began on design of new trail sections along the Lemon Gulch Trail and PSCo Soft-Surface Trail. The Parks and Recreation Department was also recognized with the prestigious reaccreditation from the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA) in 2023. Only 5% of the nation’s parks and recreation departments earn this distinction. The department also realized its goal of recovering 70% of its costs from revenue derived from its programs. Economic Development. Staff completed and began implementing the Town’s new economic development strategic plan, the Parker Economic Playbook. The Playbook seeks to improve the Town’s economic vitality in the future. Community Development. The Community Development Department collaborated with the Confluence Companies to begin site plan reviews for the new East Main development and a Townowned four-story parking garage at the PACE Center. Both projects are key components of the larger My Mainstreet project for downtown Parker.
2024 Budget Highlights The 2024 Budget continues much of the good work started in 2023 and introduces new efforts to advance the Town’s strategic goals. Priorities for 2024 include meeting the General Fund required minimum cash balance; maintaining healthy fund balances in the Recreation and Cultural Funds; sustaining the current level of funding of community programming; continuation of repair and maintenance programs at 2023 funding levels; boosting employee retention through performance pay and police officer step plans; and implementing recommended changes from a compensation benchmarking study. The 2024 Budget ensures funding for the continuation of the Town’s existing services and incorporates new projects and initiatives. Key changes for the 2024 Budget include 18.5 additional full-time equivalent positions (FTEs) to meet staffing needs in several departments, funding to address price increases in costs for repair and maintenance materials in excess of projections; and the initiation of large infrastructure projects across several departments. In addition, the Town is making major strides in reducing its outstanding debt load. Among the most important items funded in the 2024 Budget is the early payoff of the Town’s 2014 Certificates of Participation (COPs) issued for the Public Works Operations Center and Recreation Center. By paying off these COPs early, the Town will save $3.3 million in interest payments in the future. The early retirement of the debt will benefit both the Stormwater and Recreation Funds. Other specific 2024 budget highlights include:
• • • • • •
Major road improvement projects on some of the roads Parker residents use most. Projects include construction for widening Lincoln Avenue and Stroh Road and making improvements to the Jordan Road/Lincoln Avenue intersection. Closing gaps in sidewalk sections along Parker Road and other locations throughout the Town. Funding performance pay at an average of 6% for staff and the Police Officer Step Plan. Implementation of expected compensation study recommendations. Addition of 12.5 FTE new positions in Police, including 10 sworn police officers. Improvements to stormwater infrastructure, including at Oak Gulch at Anthology North.

INTRODUCTION STRATEGIC GOALS AND OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES PROCESS FOR CREATING STRATEGIC GOALS AND OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES The strategic plan evolved during 2015 as a cooperative project led by the Town Manager’s office and included participation by the Town Council and Town staff. Citizen participation was funneled through the elected officials. The outcome was the development of a vision statement, mission statement, and strategic goals. The plan complemented the Parker 2035 Master Plan, and it guides budgeting as new and ongoing budget requests must align with the strategic goals and objectives in the plan. The strategic goals are meant to be high-level and guide the Town for many years, but the strategic plan to accomplish the goals is not static. As priorities of Town citizens evolve, Town leadership uses citizen engagement to make changes to the strategic objectives and the ongoing departmental strategies that support them. Citizens have input through Town elections, citizen boards and commissions, feedback on social media and through the various community surveys put out by the Communications team. For example, the most recent community survey was completed in 2021. The results affirm that the Town’s strategic goals are still in line with the citizens’ values and priorities. The community survey also provides one measure of the Town’s performance regarding its mission. The survey shows that most citizens are happy with the overall direction of the Town, while managing growth is an area of concern. To that end, the 2023 budget and 10-year Long-Range Plan are both focused on balancing infrastructure growth with community programming and achieving an optimal timing for capital projects. Guided by the strategic plan and elected leadership, the departments develop operational strategies every year that support the strategic goals and ultimately, the mission and vision. The budget process is the catalyst for this planning since the Town does not have unlimited financial resources to implement every possible strategy. Once each department identifies their operational strategies, they are used to develop the annual budget requests. All capital expenses, new personnel and significant incremental operational expenses must be presented with an explanation of how the item supports one or more strategic goals. The strategic goals are also used in the annual pay-for-performance reviews completed each year. Specific departmental strategies are organized by the goal they support and included in the following pages of this section. The departmental strategies are also included in the budget detail section by department, where they are referred to as Performance Measures by Strategic Goal.
MEASURING PERFORMANCE In addition to soliciting citizen feedback on Town performance, each department also reflects annually on its progress towards its past and current strategies. The result is a discussion of prior year accomplishments and performance measures by department in the budget detail section. The Town Manager is leading an ongoing project to further operationalize the strategic plan. The project will ensure that departmental strategies are actual goals (vs. activities) that support the Town’s mission and vision through the strategic framework discussed above. The project will also create more robust performance measurement for the various Town departments. The process has started with select departments and will be rolled out in conjunction with new performance measures software to all departments in the near future.

BUDGET SECTION PROCESS TITLE INTERNAL PROCESS The budget is prepared annually according to the Town of Parker Charter, State of Colorado budget law and the Government Finance Officers Association guidelines. The Town uses an incremental approach to budgeting. An incremental approach uses a base, or existing, budget and adjusts up or down as necessary. The steps that occur during the annual budget cycle are as follows:
• Town goals are developed or reaffirmed by the Town Council. Budget requests must demonstrate how they align with the goals.
• Proposed capital expenses over $100,000 for the next ten years are submitted by each
department and are scored by a cross-departmental team to develop the long range plan.
• Proposed capital expenses for the current year are submitted by each department and are
scored by a cross-departmental team for the capital budget. The proposed capital expenses are limited by revenue projections.
• Expense line item budgets are submitted by the departments with the initial budget request equal to the current year’s amended budget less any one-time expenses in the prior year. Certain expense lines require a detailed worksheet listing each expense within the line item.
• Expense justifications for new expenses over $35,000, including new personnel requests of
any amount, are submitted by each department and scored by a cross-departmental team for the expense budget. The proposed expenses are limited by revenue projections.
• Revenue projections are developed by the Finance Department together with each department using internal trends and external economic indicators.
• The Town executive management team reviews the requests and makes a recommendation to the Town Council through the Town Manager. Study sessions are held throughout the process to inform and seek the input of the Town Council. Adjustments are made as necessary.
• The Town Manager must submit a proposed budget to the Town Council by October 15. The Town Council must then hold two public hearings, with one of those by November 15, and adopt the budget and the annual appropriations by December 15.
• Based on the number of strategic planning and study sessions held with the Town Council, revisions to the proposed budget are usually minimal or not needed at all.
• Budget amendments are presented to Town Council two or three times a year as needed. These are passed by Town Council via budget ordinance after a public hearing.
CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT IN THE BUDGET PROCESS Citizen involvement in the budget ensures the participation of the people affected by it. The proposed budget is made available on the Town’s website by October 15th. Through the Talk of the Town newsletter, social media and online communication, interested citizens are made aware that the proposed budget is available online for their review, and they are invited to provide feedback. Prior to adoption of the budget, the Town holds several study sessions which are open to the public. At these meetings, Council and staff openly discuss budget requests, including proposed major capital projects and new staff positions, capital outlay and special project items. Then, two public hearings are held as Council considers the annual budget adoption. The Town of Parker website includes information on Agendas, Minutes and Packets for the Council Meetings.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS OF THESECTION 2024 BUDGET TITLE This section presents the highlights of the 2024 Budget. Following this section is detailed background information on the Town’s basis of presentation, budgeting and accounting, the Town’s budget and financial policies, and the debt service and financial obligations of the Town.
BUDGET DEVELOPMENT Short Term Factors Impacting Overall Budget Development Major short-term factors impacting the 2024 budget include a sharp decline in sales tax growth year-over-year, inflationary impacts, changing trends following the COVID pandemic and the level of requested capital expenditures. Sales tax growth of 18%, 11% and 4% for the years 2021 through 2023 illustrates the change. The 2024 budget includes a growth rate of 5% based on the expectation inflation will slowly come down and growth in both the number and size of remitters, as well as increasing Town population, will continue to support a solid base level of growth. The Town relies heavily on sales tax revenue to support most of the Town’s operational services, and it also provides funding for the parks and recreation capital projects. Support for the 5% sales tax growth also comes from the increases seen in the grocery and restaurant categories when looking at the major categories of sales tax collections. When reviewing the 2023 year-to-date actuals, there is some weakness showing up in auto purchases and general merchandise purchases; however, that is more than offset by the growth in grocery and restaurant sales. Inflation has had a mixed impact on the Town because as inflation caused increases in the prices of goods and services, sales tax collections increased accordingly. The offset to the revenue increase has been the higher prices the Town has experienced in purchasing goods and services. In some categories, particularly construction costs, the increases have exceeded the revenue growth. An annual inflation rate of 4% was used as a guideline in the development of 2024 budgeted appropriations. The post-pandemic recovery has impacted the Town’s historical trends within both the Cultural Fund and the Recreation Fund. Both areas rely primarily on charges for services for their revenue. Charges for services in the Cultural Fund has experienced a compound annual growth rate of 39% for the period 2020 through the 2024 budget. This growth rate is reflective of reopening the venues, and a strong emphasis on cost recovery for the various programs along with patrons accepting increased price levels. Growth in programming will be limited as the various facilities are generally maximized in their usage. Charges for services in the Recreation Fund has also experienced a strong compound annual growth rate of 23%. Within the various revenue categories, there are signs of trend changes. Memberships and admissions have continued to grow, albeit at a slower rate than overall growth as it appears the trend of working out at home during the pandemic continues to carry forward. Growth in the day camp/preschool/kid zone programs has increased exponentially as families have welcomed new offerings in this area. The Town has taken steps with both the Cultural Fund and the Recreation Fund to build up a minimum cash balance, similar to what is a requirement with the General Fund, to hedge against any future impactful events to either operations or sales tax revenue. Both funds are Town of Parker 2024 Annual Budget

Budget Overview
SECTION TITLE FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2024 BUDGET (cont) indirectly reliant on sales tax due to the transfers in from either the General Fund or the Parks and Recreation Fund. Debt service includes the pay off of the 2014 Certificates of Participation used to finance the cost of constructing a Public Works facility and the expansion and renovation of the Town’s existing Recreation Center. This debt will be paid off effective January 31, 2024, with a cash payment of $12,484,676.56. The present value of the savings is $3,215,354.74 which is equivalent to a percentage savings of 26.02%. The Parks and Recreation Fund, General Fund and Stormwater Fund will be positively impacted by this action. Another major impact on the 2024 budget is the level of capital needs throughout the Town, both within the community and Town government itself. As the Town grows, modest expense growth is being balanced with necessary capital spending. The overall strong financial position of the Town guided planning for the 2024 capital program and the 10-year capital improvement plan. Cash reserves in the Excise Tax Fund, Capital Renewal and Replacement Reserve Fund and the Public Improvements Fund are all being drawn down to fund overall Town capital expenditures of $103.7 million. The Town has been setting aside funds for several years to address a variety of large-dollar projects. Guidelines require the use of these cash balances for one-time items and not for operational needs. On the operational expense side, the Town is managing cost increases in every category to maintain the same programs and service levels. For the 2024 budget, growth in discretionary expenses was contained as much as possible to accommodate these increases. To that end, the Town continued the process begun in 2023 for prioritizing incremental expenses over $35,000. The process mirrors the existing scoring process for capital items. Within the operating cost increases, the Town is budgeting for an increase of 18.5 new full- and part-time positions in 2024. Most of these positions are in the Police Department and Public Works Departments. These incremental positions require funding in addition to salaries and benefits. Most of these positions have clothing, transportation and equipment related needs also.
Budget Objective and Priorities The objective of the 2024 budget is to preserve the current level of services to the community while managing increased operational expenditures and capital needs. Significant assumptions that impact the budget include the following:
• The Town will sustain the current level of community programming and repair and maintenance of infrastructure.
• Sales tax revenue growth is budgeted at 5% for 2024. • Both performance pay and commissioned officer step increases are budgeted at 6% due to the current labor market.
• The Town’s prudent fiscal management has enabled it to allocate funds for capital projects,
avoid an increase in employee healthcare costs, and successfully retire the 2014 Certificates of Participation.
• Growth in discretionary expenses is contained to balance capital needs and inflation. Four priorities were established for the 2024 budget:
Budget Overview

Town of Parker 2024 Annual Budget
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2024SECTION BUDGETTITLE (cont) • Maintain required General Fund cash reserves and build cash reserves for the Stormwater Utility and Recreation Funds.
• Maintain community programs and the repair and maintenance program for infrastructure. • Balance competing funding needs between operating expenses, increased staffing and infrastructure.
• Identify funding sources for the large volume and size of capital projects. The General Fund cash reserves remain a priority as they are a legal requirement and are set by the Council. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for cash reserves in the Cultural and Recreation funds, since a significant portion of their revenue is from charges for services. Unforeseen events that impact demand or the Town’s ability to provide programming also impact these departments’ ability to cover overheard operating costs. Now that the funds have recovered from COVID-19, the Town is taking steps to maintain a cash balance similar to that required of the General Fund as a hedge against future impactful events. The citizen demand for community programs is strong, and maintaining infrastructure before costly failures is both a best practice and Town responsibility. Development growth in the Town has created a need for additional infrastructure investment and increased operational expense, including increased staff to manage the growing number of new capital and infrastructure repair and maintenance projects. These must be carefully balanced to fit within the revenue constraints of the Town. The Town used a scoring process for capital projects, incremental expense increases over $35,000 and new personnel to prioritize the most important items for each category by fund. Town municipal buildings are aging and required to support increasing numbers of staff and community members. Recognizing that significant repairs and expansion are becoming necssary, the Town undertook a Facilities Master Plan in 2021 to identify needs for repair and/or replacement of Town facilities. The plan identified four projects to accommodate needed growth. Funds were set aside starting in 2021 in the Capital Renewal and Replacement Reserve Fund to help fund the needs identified in the plan; however, cost increases in all public works projects indicate that the original project cost estimates in the master plan are likely too low. Therefore, additional funding was set aside in 2023 and the 2024 budget to fund these projects, and other potential revenue sources, such as the Excise Tax Fund, are being considered if necessary as the projects progress. Town staff has implemented a thoughtful process of strategic planning and preparing a carefully balanced budget that supports the direction of the Town Council and the Town’s strategic goals. The Council has ample opportunity for input as the proposed budget is being prepared. Therefore, Town Council passed the 2024 budget as originally presented, with no changes between the proposed and final adopted budget.
General Fund Sales tax makes up almost 72% of the General Fund revenue, so estimating the 2023 projected and 2024 budgeted revenue accurately is key to the overall direction of the 2024 budget. Sales tax growth has fluctuated for several years. Growth was 7.8% in 2020, 18.4% in 2021, 11.1% in 2022, and is projected to close 2023 at 4%. With some of the growth attributed to short-term factors, a conservative projection of 5% was used for 2024. The experience of other Denver area

Budget Overview
SECTION TITLE FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2024 BUDGET (cont) municipalities, local economic projections and continued population growth were all considered in developing the budget. The top five revenue sources for the General fund consists of Sales Tax, Building Permits, Real Property Taxes, Road and Bridge Shareback Funds, and Excise Taxes - Electric. Overall, growth for these revenue sources in the General Fund is budgeted to grow 4% from the 2023 projection and generate $3.1M in incremental revenue. The Town uses an incremental approach to budgeting. An incremental approach uses a base, or existing budget and adjusts up or down as necessary. Discretionary spending has been reduced significantly through several years of cost cutting, so a base level of expenditures is considered necessary as a starting point. Other expenditure increases include inflation related cost increases in operations and community programs. Repair and maintenance costs for streets and snow removal activities are also increasing by about $1.3 million due to increased labor and materials costs. The Capital Outlay of $4.1M consisting of vehicles for additional staffing, a mobile vehicle barrier system, traffic safety improvements, and equipment replacement reflects a commitment to enhancing infrastructure, safety, and operational efficiency. Several small capital projects are also included in the 2024 General Fund budget, including police and parks maintenance equipment. In summary, the 2024 General Fund budget implements the Town’s four budgetary priorities. The resulting balanced budget maintains excellent service to the community and Town employees while maintaining and improving Town infrastructure.

SECTION TITLE FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2024 BUDGET (cont) FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS This section begins with a look at total revenues and expenditures in all funds excluding interfund transfers. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) shows the average annual percentage change over the period 2020 – 2024. Overall revenue growth in all funds has been an average of 7% year-over-year. Operational funds including the Cultural and Recreation Funds had a drop in revenues due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however they show a strong recovery over the past several years. The Capital Funds and Stormwater Fund have variable growth rates because developer contributions fluctuate from year to year. The Medical Benefits Fund has also seen higher than average growth due to cost recovery for increased benefits costs.

Town of Parker 2024 Annual Budget
Note: Interfund transfers are not included
Budget Overview
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2024SECTION BUDGETTITLE (cont) The overall expenditure growth in all funds has averaged 29% year-over-year. Capital projects are the primary driver of growth in the Parks and Recreation, Capital Improvement and Stormwater funds. The number of construction projects varies every year in those funds. The Cultural Fund shows a 28% growth rate which is related to the downturn related to COVID-19 and then the strong recovery in programming and increasing costs. Recreation costs have increased due to increased program costs and higher capital needs in recent years. Both the Fleet Services and Technology Management funds have increased due to cost increases and growth in service levels as the Town grows. Finally, the activities in the Law Enforcement Assistance Fund were moved to the General Fund in 2022.

Total Revenue
Excluding transfers in, total 2024 budgeted revenue is $78.8 million, with sales tax being the largest revenue source. The sales tax growth rate has been decreasing since 2021. Growth in 2021 jumped to 18%, due in part to short term factors and declined to 11% in 2021. It is projected to end 2023 at 4% and a moderate rate of 5% has been used for 2024. The 2024 reduced growth rate accounts for slowing Town growth and easing of inflation. The Parks and Recreation Fund transfers in $1.7 million to partially offset the parks and recreation administration costs included in the General Fund. An interfund transfer of $0.4 million from the Stormwater Utilities Fund offsets work completed by the Public Works Department on behalf of the Stormwater Department. Additional revenue discussion is in the Revenue Manual section of this document. Budget Overview

Total expenditures are $19.6 million higher in the 2024 Budget as compared to the 2023 Projected Actuals. Most of this variance is due to a transfer of $13.8M to Debt Service to pay the remaining balance for the 2014 Certificates of Participation. Another significant variance of $6.6 million is in Salary and Benefits. The budget assumes all positions will be filled for the full year, while the 2023 Projected amount reflects vacancies that have occurred throughout the year. The 2024 Budget also includes a 6% increase for both performance pay and police step increases, and funding to implement potential 2023 compensation study recommendations. Utilities and internal services are also increasing due to inflation.

Expenditures by Department Major variances by department are largely personnel related but also include inflationary increases in repairs and maintenance. The following are notable variances between the 2023 Projected and 2024 Budget:
• Interfund transfers increase due to the planned defeasance of the 2014 Certificates of Participation.
• The variance in Parks is related to increased water usage after a wet 2023 and a capital project to upgrade irrigation equipment.

General Fund Balance
General Fund expenditures are higher than revenue for the 2024 Budget, which results in a decrease to the ending fund balance of $10M (29.1% decrease) from 2023 projected actuals. Responsible fiscal policy dictates that the use of cash balances should be limited to one-time expenditures, and this is the case for 2024. A one-time transfer of $13M to the Debt Services Fund will be used to defease the 2014 Certificates of Participation. The Town Charter requires a 25% cash-to-total expenditure ratio and that requirement is met. The additional cash being maintained in the General Fund will be utilized to offset increased inflationary impacts above what was budgeted. Project bids anticipated to be open in late 2023/early 2024 are expected to require funding in excess of what has been budgeted. Budget amendments will be presented to Council for their approval as projects require additional funding.

Budget Overview
SECTION TITLE FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2024 BUDGET (cont) OTHER FUND HIGHLIGHTS In addition to the General Fund, the Town has five other main operational and capital project funds. These are the Parks and Recreation, Cultural, Recreation, Public Improvements and Stormwater Utility Funds. Financials for each may be found under the Budget Detail tab. Highlights of variances between the 2024 Budget and the 2023 Projected Actuals for these funds follows.
Parks and Recreation Fund The total revenue increased due to increased tax revenue of $0.6M and a Transfer In increase of $0.2 million. On the expense side, the Transfer Out to the Recreation Fund, totaling $4M, constitutes 55% of the total transfers out. The transfer to the Recreation Fund increased $4M due to a change in funding from the General Fund to the Parks and Recreation Fund.
Cultural Fund Charges for services in the Cultural Fund are in line with the 2023 Projection. Revenues are not expected to increase significantly in 2024 due to the PACE Center being almost at capacity for offering programs and shows. The 57% increase in the transfer to the Cultural Fund, showcases a commitment to enhancing cultural initiatives and funding of capital requirements. Maintaining a 25% operating reserve reflects prudent financial management for the Cultural Fund balance. Expenditures are increasing by $1.2M, reflecting the full cost of programs following COVID-19 and inflationary impacts in overhead costs. The Fund Balance decreases just above $317,000 (13.4%) due to funding one-time expenditures in 2024.
Recreation Fund The Recreation Department is navigating potential permanent shifts in fitness and membership trends post-COVID-19, impacting revenues in this sector. However, a compensatory effect is anticipated, with strong demand for classes and rentals expected to offset much of the revenue difference. Expenditures are increasing $200,000, primarily in personnel. The $4M transfer from the Parks and Recreation Fund in 2024 plays a crucial role in sustaining the fund balance, particularly for capital projects aimed at maintaining aging equipment and facilities. The Fund Balance increases approximately $240,000 (10.4%) due to a conservative approach to fund balance management.
Public Improvements Fund Revenues in the Public Improvements Fund are increasing $19.8M due to an increase in project partner contributions and Transfers In. The Town is starting two major infrastructure projects with regional partners, including extending Dransfeldt Road. Projects in 2024 total $50.8M, almost half of which is for the Dransfeldt Road Project. More information on capital projects can be found in that section of this document. The Fund Balance decreases $1.6M (10.9%) due to the timing of capital projects.
Stormwater Utility Fund Stormwater revenue is down $6.2M in 2024 due to a lower budgeted level of developer contributions as compared to 2023. Expenses are decreasing by $8.6M due to fewer planned capital projects. The decrease in both the number and size of projects reflects a strategic decision to preserve Fund Balance, prioritizing financial stability for the fund. Due to this approach, Fund Balance increases just over $360,000 (44%).

Staffing Variances from 2023 Projected to 2024 Budget An anticipated restructuring of part-time employees is expected to facilitate the attraction and retention of staff in challenging areas, such as lifeguards. The completion of a salary study will assist in addressing compensation gaps and related challenges. The full-time staffing variances reflect the need for additional operational and support staff as the Town grows. Full-time staffing increases have been kept to a minimum in prior years as the Town focused instead on operational efficiencies and relied on part-time and seasonal employees for

Fund Balances This chart is included to show the fund balances for each of the Town’s funds. A fund balance reflects the net financial resources of a fund; in other words, assets minus liabilities. In simpler terms, this is equivalent to dollars available to spend. If some of the funds’ resources are not available to spend, those resources would be indicated by “restricting” or “reserving” a portion of the fund balance.

Town of Parker 2024 Annual Budget
TOTAL FUND BUDGET AND HISTORICAL SUMMARIES (cont) The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement Number 54 (Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions) is used by the Town. The statement provides clearlydefined categories of fund balance to make the nature and extent of the constraints placed on a government’s fund balance more transparent. The categories of fund balance are as follows: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned. The fund balances reported in this document reflect the total of these categories. The Town’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) provides the breakdown on a historical basis. Updated budget information by fund is always available online via Town of Parker Open Budget.

Budget Overview
SECTION BASIS OF TITLE PRESENTATION, BUDGETING AND ACCOUNTING BASIS OF PRESENTATION—FUND ACCOUNTING The activities of the Town are organized into separate funds that are designated for a specific purpose or set of purposes. Each fund is considered a separate accounting entity, so the operations of each fund are accounted for with a set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and fund equity as appropriate. The number and variety of funds used by the Town promotes accountability but can also make municipal budgeting and finance complex. Therefore, understanding the fund structure is an important part of understanding the Town’s finances. The three basic fund categories are Governmental Funds, Proprietary Funds and Fiduciary Funds; within each fund category there are various fund types. Following is a description of the seven fund types that contain the Town’s various funds. Only six of these funds are budgeted as the Town does not have the authority to spend on its own the resources accounted for in the Fiduciary Fund.
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS General Fund The General Fund is the Town’s primary operating fund and is used to track the revenues and expenditures associated with the basic Town services that are not required to be accounted for in other funds. This includes services such as police, public works, parks and recreation, and other support services such as finance and human resources. These services are funded by general purpose tax revenues and other revenues that are unrestricted. This means that the Town Council, with input from the public, has the ability to distribute the funds in a way that best meets the needs of the community as opposed to other funds that are restricted to predefined uses.
Special Revenue Funds Special Revenue Funds account for activities supported by revenues that are received or set aside for a specific purpose that are legally restricted. The Town has four Special Revenue Funds that it budgeted in 2023 and 2024, the Parks and Recreation Fund, Conservation Trust Fund, Cultural Fund and Recreation Fund. A fifth, the Law Enforcement Assistance Fund, was closed in 2022, and the activities in this fund were moved to the General Fund.
Capital Projects Funds Capital Projects Funds account for financial resources that must be used for the acquisition, improvements or construction of major capital projects. The Town has nine current Capital Projects Funds: • Public Improvement Capital Project Fund • Excise Tax Fund • Capital Renewal and Replacement Reserve Fund • Impact Fee Funds • Public Works • General Government • Police Facility • Court Facility • Hess Ranch Metro District Fund • Cherry Creek South Metro District Fund

BASIS OF PRESENTATION, BUDGETING AND ACCOUNTING SECTION TITLE (cont) Three funds were closed as of 2022: the Parks and Recreation Impact Fee Fund, the Transportation Impact Fee Fund and the Parkglenn Construction Fund. The monies in these funds were allocated toward eligible projects and the funds were closed. The 10-year capital improvements plan lists approved and anticipated capital projects of the Town, and is located in the capital section of the budget document.
Debt Service Funds Debt Service Funds are used to account for resources that will be used to pay the interest and principal of long-term debts. The Town has two Debt Service Funds: General Debt and Recreation Debt.
PROPRIETARY FUNDS Enterprise Funds Enterprise Funds account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business, where the intent of the Town is that the fund will be self supporting. This requires that the ongoing expense of providing goods and services to the general public be financed or recovered primarily through user charges. If these user charges are insufficient to cover the operations of the Enterprise fund, transfers can be made from other fund types to provide additional support. The Town’s Enterprise fund is the Stormwater Utility Fund.
Internal Service Funds Internal Service Funds account for the financing of goods and services provided primarily by one Town department to other Town departments or agencies, or to other governments, on a cost-reimbursement basis. The Town’s Internal Service Funds consist of the Fleet Services Fund, Technology Management Fund, Facility Services Fund and Medical Benefits Fund.
FIDUCIARY FUNDS (CUSTODIAL FUNDS) Trust Funds Fiduciary Funds account for resources that the Town does not have the authority to spend on its own because the Town is holding assets of these funds in a trustee capacity or as an agent for another organizational unit. The Town has one Fiduciary Fund which is not budgeted, the Security Escrow Fund.

Town of Parker 2024 Annual Budget
BASIS OF PRESENTATION, BUDGETING AND ACCOUNTING SECTION TITLE (cont) BASIS OF BUDGETING Basis of budgeting refers to the methodology used to include revenues and expenditures in the budget. The Town of Parker primarily budgets all funds on a cash basis. The Town does not budget for non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization. The revenues and expenditures are assumed to be collected or spent during the period appropriated. Using this assumption, the current year revenues are compared to expenditures to ensure that each fund has sufficient revenues to cover expenditures during the budget year, or that there are sufficient available cash reserves in the fund to cover a revenue shortfall.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING Basis of accounting refers to the point at which revenues or expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. The government-wide financial statements, as well as the financial statements for proprietary funds and fiduciary funds, are reported using the economic resource measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of when the cash is received or disbursed. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized as soon as they become both measurable and available, and expenditures are recorded in the period that the expenditure occurs and becomes a liability. An economic or financial resources measurement focus is similar to the basis of accounting where non-cash items are not budgeted and those items budgeted are within the appropriation period (fiscal year). Governmental fund financial statements also focus on the fiscal year period.
BASIS OF BUDGETING VS. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The basis of budgeting differs from the basis of accounting only by the assumptions that are made in regards to the timing of the recognition of revenues and expenditures. The budget assumes that all revenues and expenditures, as well as the associated cash, will be expended or received during the budget period. Conversely, the basis of accounting only recognizes revenues when they become both measurable and available, and expenditures when incurred. Cash is not necessarily received or expended at the same time.
SUMMARY The summary on the following pages depicts the relationships between departments/division and the fund categories into which they fall.

Budget Overview
BUDGET AND FINANCIAL POLICIES The Town of Parker has an important responsibility to its citizens to account for public funds and manage municipal finances wisely. This section provides a summary of the significant elements of the adopted Annual Budget and major financial policies in place to ensure the funding for the Town’s services is managed responsibly. Financial policies are reviewed with Town Council annually during the budget review for ongoing relevance and adherence to the policy. The Town of Parker prepares the operating and capital budgets simultaneously each year. All funds are included in the operating budget.
BALANCING THE BUDGET • The budget is considered to be balanced when proposed expenditures do not exceed
proposed revenues and available fund balances for any budgeted year. This applies to all funds contained in the budget.
• The budget must be balanced when it is formally presented to the Town Council by the Town Manager and when it is passed by the Town Council.
• Sales and excise taxes are the primary revenues used by the Town to offset expenditures and balance the budget. Property taxes, charges for services and other revenues are also used.
• Alternative forms of revenue may be used to balance the budget, such as bonds, grants and lease and purchase agreements.
• Revenues remaining from the previous year will be placed in the fund balance and can be
used for the purpose of balancing the budget, as long as the Council-mandated contingency amount is maintained.
BUDGET RESERVES AND FUND REPLENISHMENT • The non-appropriated General Fund balance will be maintained at levels sufficient to provide
necessary working capital and contingency reserves. Beginning with 2018, the reserve was set at a minimum of 25% of the total General Fund expenditures. In addition, reserves for future major capital expenditures may be accrued in the fund balance.
• Non-appropriated emergency reserves will be maintained at 3% of budgeted expenditures, in accordance with Article X of the Colorado Constitution (TABOR).
• Use of the budget reserves must be recommended by the Town Manager and be approved by a majority vote of the Town Council.
• If the Town Council approves the use of budget reserves, at the time of approval the Council must also approve a plan to replenish the reserve back to a minimum ratio of 25%.
REVENUES One-time Revenues One-time revenues are federal, state or private grants and tax windfalls that may occur in any given year.
• Grants must be shown as revenue in the appropriate fund and approved for expenditure by
the Town Council. Also, the funds may only be used for the intended purpose as outlined by the contributing party.
Budget Overview
58
Town of Parker 2024 Annual Budget
BUDGET AND FINANCIAL POLICIES (cont) • One-time revenues, such as tax windfalls, will be placed into the fund balance of the
appropriate fund. The funds can be utilized only after the Town Council has approved the expenditure.
• It is likely the one-time revenues and corresponding expenditures were unknown at the time of budget development. The budget adjustments must be included as a budget amendment once they are known.
Service Charges and Fees Service charges and fees should be reviewed annually. This review process should coincide with the annual budget process.
Temporary Loans between Funds The transfer of revenues between funds to cover temporary shortfalls in cash revenue is at the discretion of the Finance Director, but is only permissible under the following circumstances:
• A temporary loan can be made to funds that may experience a revenue lag due to collections. • A temporary loan can be used to satisfy a shortfall in a transfer to a subsidized fund until the budget can be revised to the required transfer amount.
EXPENDITURES Expenditure Types The expenditure types that are used throughout all Town funds include salary and benefits, supplies, purchased services, internal services, utilities, capital outlay, debt service, contributions, interfund transfers and other.
Personnel Only positions approved by Council may be filled. New positions may not be created during the year without Council approval.
Budget Reallocation Budget reallocations may be made between line items by completing a budget reallocation form and obtaining the approval of the Town Manager and Finance Director. Reallocations must be approved before goods or services are ordered. Budget reallocations to or from personnel line items will not be approved.
Capital Outlay Capital outlay funds are to be appropriated for specific capital assets. Purchasing, acquiring or constructing a capital asset must be verified by the Finance Department prior to the purchase or contract to ensure that the expenditure of capital outlay funds has been specifically approved by Council during the budget process. Expenditure of capital outlay funds that are not on the approved list must be reviewed by the Finance Director and the appropriate Department Director prior to approval by the Town Manager and before making the purchase.

Budget Overview
BUDGET AND FINANCIAL POLICIES (cont) REVENUE AND SPENDING LIMITATIONS In 1992, voters approved the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR) Amendment to the Colorado Constitution that places limits on revenue and expenditures of the state and local governments. Even though the limit is placed on both revenue and expenditures, the constitutional amendment in reality applies to a limit on revenue collections. Growth in revenue is limited to the increase in the Denver-Boulder Consumer Price Index plus local growth (new construction and annexation). This percentage is added to the preceding year’s revenue base and the result is the dollar limit allowed for revenue collection in the ensuing year. Any revenue collected over the limit must be refunded to the citizens. Federal grants or gifts to the Town are not included in the revenue limit. In April 1996, voters in Parker approved an amendment to the Home Rule Charter which authorizes the Town to collect, retain and expend all revenue of the Town for 1996 and each subsequent fiscal year, not withstanding any limitation contained in Article X, Section 20 of the State Constitution. The Amendment is complex and subject to judicial interpretation. The Town believes it is in compliance with the requirements of the Amendment; however, the Town has made certain interpretations in the Amendment’s language in order to determine its compliance. The Amendment requires that emergency reserves be established. These reserves must be at least 3% of fiscal year spending (excluding bonded debt service). The Town is not allowed to use the emergency reserves to compensate for economic conditions, revenue shortfalls or salary or benefit increases.
ENTERPRISE FUNDS Enterprise funds act like a private sector enterprise and revenues must cover 100% of the expenditures.
AUTHORITY OVER EXPENDITURES All expenditures for the Town must be for Town business, properly authorized and approved, and within the Town Council’s approved budget. The Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) is the public purchasing official for the Town, responsible for providing direction and assistance in the acquisition of goods and services. The CPO will procure all goods and services in excess of $5,000 with some limited exceptions specifically defined in Town policy. These purchases also require a pre-approved Authorization for Expenditure. Procurements of $50,000 or more require a competitive process with the award given to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. Expenditures of any amount must be authorized by the Department Director, accomplished by signing the source document to be paid or approving an Authorization for Expenditure. The Director may provide written authorization delegating his or her approval authority as follows:
• The Department Director may delegate his or her approval to a direct report when the director will be away from the office for a period longer than one (1) week.
• The Department Director may delegate his or her approval on invoices or other cash
disbursements under $10,000 to a Deputy Director or under $5,000 to a direct report.
• The Department Director may delegate his or her approval to another director for purchases that are routinely made by the other department on behalf of his or her department.
Budget Overview

Town of Parker 2024 Annual Budget
BUDGET AND FINANCIAL POLICIES (cont) Although the ultimate responsibility for a departmental budget lies with that Department’s Director, purchases greater than $5,000 require further approvals. Purchases between $5,000 and $100,000 also require approvals, depending upon the amount, from the budget authority, procurement and/or the Town Manager. Purchases of $100,000 and more also require Town Council approval. The Town Operations Manual provides complete policy and procedural detail on all expenditures.
EXECUTIVE TERMINATION OF APPROVED SPENDING The Town Manager may stop a department from spending appropriated funds in the event there is evidence that funds are being misused. The Town Manager must present the reasons for the action to the Town Council within thirty days of the expenditure stoppage.
DEBT MANAGEMENT Short-term Debt/Lease-purchase Agreements Short-term borrowing or lease-purchase contracts may be considered for financing major operating capital equipment when the Finance Director, along with the Town Manager, determine that this is in the Town’s best financial interest and the Town Council concurs. Lease-purchase decisions should have the approval of the appropriate operating manager.
Long-term Debt Long-term debt will not be used to finance current operating expenses. When long-term debt is warranted for a project, the payback period for bonds used for the project must not exceed the useful life of the project.
Bond Rating The Town will attempt to obtain the best possible bond rating and to maintain a favorable rating through prudent financial management and adherence to a policy of full disclosure on financial reports.
Voter Approval of Debt As required by the Town Charter and State Statute, appropriate elections will be held to obtain voter approval for debt issuance. There is no legal debt limit other than voters’ approval. The full Debt Management Policy can be found on the Town of Parker website.
BUDGET AMENDMENTS The Town Charter allows Town Council to make additional appropriations by ordinance during the fiscal year for unanticipated expenditures of the Town. Such appropriations shall not exceed the amount by which actual and anticipated revenues of the year exceed the revenues estimated in the budget, unless the appropriations are necessary to relieve an emergency endangering public peace, health, safety or property. Requests for budget amendments are submitted to the Finance Director for consideration. If the request is justified and there is offsetting revenue, it is submitted to the Town Manager for approval prior to being placed on a Council agenda. Budget amendments are presented to Town Council at a regular meeting and require two readings prior to adoption. Town of Parker 2024 Annual Budget

Budget Overview
SECTION DEBT SERVICE TITLEAND FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS Occasionally, the Town has issued debt as a means of providing the necessary funding to construct major capital projects. When advantageous, the Town has also used long-term financing to fund land and equipment purchases. The Town has outstanding long-term financial obligations in the form of sales and use tax revenue bonds and certificates of participation. There are no current plans to increase the amount of debt.
DEBT LIMITATIONS The Town has no legal debt limit other than voters must approve the creation of multiple-fiscal year debt as required by the Town Charter. Certificates of Participation (COP) are a leasepurchase financing method wherein the annual lease payment must be appropriated by Town Council and does not create multiple-fiscal year debt. Therefore, voter approval is not required for COPs.
OUTSTANDING DEBT AND FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS The Town utilizes the General Fund and two Debt Service Funds, the General Debt Service Fund and the Recreation Debt Service Fund, to account for debt and financial obligations. Monies are transferred from the related operational funds to offset the principal and interest payments in the two debt service funds; these funds do not maintain any cash balance.
2015 Sales and Use Tax Refunding Note In October 2015, a refunding note was issued in the amount of $9,880,000 for the refunding of the 2006 Sales and Use Tax Revenue Bonds used to construct the Parker Fieldhouse and related improvements. The annual debt service payments are accounted for in the Recreation Debt Service Fund, which receives a transfer from the Parks and Recreation Fund. The note will be fully satisfied in 2025. The debt service payment schedule for the outstanding debt is shown in the following table.

2019 Certificates of Participation In 2019, the Town refunded all of the Certificates of Participation, Series 2009A with an outstanding aggregate principal amount of $34,190,000 with the proceeds from the sale of Refunding Certificates of Participation, Series 2019 with an aggregate principal amount of $25,215,000. The leased property associated with the Series 2019 COPs is the existing Town police building and the six-acre site upon which it is located. The annual debt service payments are accounted for in the Interdepartmental Department budget in the General Fund. The debt service payment schedule is shown in the following table. Budget Overview

2014 Certificates of Participation In 2014, the Town issued $19,520,000 in Certificates of Participation to finance the cost of constructing a Public Works facility and the expansion and renovation of the Town’s existing Recreation Center. The portion of annual debt service payments attributable to the Public Works facility are accounted for in the General Debt Service Fund, which receives a transfer from the General Fund (53%) and Stormwater Utility Fund (13%). The portion of annual debt service payments attributable to the Recreation Center is accounted for in the Recreation Debt Service Fund, which receives a transfer from the Parks and Recreation Fund (34%). The conservative budgeting approach has facilitated effective debt management enabling the Town to pay off this debt effective January 31, 2024. The cash pay off will total $12,484,676.56 with a par amount of $12,355,000 and accrued interest of $129,676.565. The present value of the savings is $3,215,354.74, which is equivalent to a percentage savings of 26.02%.

Town of Parker 2024 Annual Budget
LONG-RANGE LONG RANGE PLAN Within the next 15 years, the planned developments within the Town boundaries will be largely completed and the Town will be built-out. This has important implications for both Town revenue streams and Town activities. Tax revenue growth that is related to population growth, such as sales taxes, will level off. Property tax revenue and franchise fees will also see declining growth as the number of incremental homes drops off. The Public Works department will shift its focus from building new infrastructure to maintaining existing Town assets. With new infrastructure projects complete, building-related revenues such as excise tax and large residential building permits will decrease. These are substantial, one-time revenues that support building new infrastructure that will not be available to maintain it longterm. In the meantime, the Town has considerable planned infrastructure needs for the next ten years, both within the community and within the Town government itself. As the community grows, the Town will also need to increase staff and operational expenses to support community service and programs. To support all these needs and prepare for the changes that will come with build-out, the Town must strategicaly leverage all its revenue sources and create a deliberate timeline for projects and growth. In order to address these strategic issues and achieve the Town’s strategic goals, the Town developed a detailed Long-Range Financial Plan (LRP) for five funds starting in 2022. The funds included are the significant operating and capital funds that are impacted by or impact the General Fund. The LRP includes the 2024 Budget and estimates for years 2025 through 2033. The LRP is an evolving road map for the Town’s financial future. It is intended to serve as a tool to identify both challenges and opportunities and to provide insight to address issues impacting the financial condition of the Town. It also presents a picture of how the funds interact with each other, including how even small changes to one fund’s revenue or expense assumptions impact the overall financial picture. The LRP incorporates all the projects in the 10-year Capital Improvement Plan and includes an average of five incremental staff positions a year. In 2024, year one, there are 18.5 new positions to reflect the actual staffing needs for next year. On the revenue side, the LRP strategically makes use of the most restricted revenue first to maximize flexibility. Finally, this year, the LRP does not include the full impacts of build-out since it is projected to occur outside of the ten-year planning period. Some slowing of development-related revenue growth is addressed in the Public Improvement Fund section. Economic factors such as inflation or market cycles are only included in the near term because the outlook is always changing as the projection extends farther out, and they tend to impact both the revenue and expense side to mitigate the overall impact. For 2024, the current economic trends, including inflation, are included in both the expenditure and revenue budgets.

Long-Range Plan
LONG RANGE GENERAL FUND PLAN LONG-RANGE PLAN The LRP for the General Fund assumes steady revenue growth throughout the 10-year forecast. The growth calculation presented in the General Fund is a result of the historical financial and economic trends. The sales tax is expected to grow at a 6% rate between 2024-2027 and 5% between 2028-2033. Population growth continues, although growth slows due to buildout. Building permits, property tax and road and bridge shareback revenue growth will slow as the Town moves closer to buildout, therefore Town activities will focus on increased repair and maintenance requirements and less on new infrastructure. Property tax revenue growth rate declines as increased valuations are due primarily to growth on existing properties and less on new growth. General operating expense is expected to grow at 4% between 2025-2033. The number of employees increases as a result of population growth and personnel costs are projected to grow at 5% to accomodate the increased number of employees and the Town’s goal of valuing its General Fund Long-Range Plan Revenues Taxes Licenses and Permits Intergovernmental Charges for Services Fines and Forfeitures Interest Miscellaneous Other Financial Sources Subtotal Transfers In Total Revenues Expenditures by Category Salary and Benefits Supplies Purchased Services Internal Services Utilities/Insurance Debt Service Capital Outlay Economic Development Incentives Other Subtotal Transfers Out Total Expenditures Beginning Fund Balance Ending Fund Balances Percent Fund Balance to Total Expenditures

GENERAL FUND LONG-RANGE LONG RANGE PLANPLAN (cont) employees through strong compensation programs. Notable factors incorporated into the LRP are 5 FTEs added annually, $13 million contributed to incremental retirement funding, and cost of some operating items increasing at a higher rate than corresponding revenue. Capital appropriations average $2.0M annually for a total of $19.5M over the 10 years. Capital outlays are primarily for replacement of aging facilities. Based on this model and diligent planning, fund balance in the General Fund continues to remain above the required ordinance of 25% throughout the 10-year period. The amount of cash required varies since the requirement is a percentage of expenditures.

LONG RANGE PARKS AND RECREATION PLAN FUND LONG-RANGE PLAN The major revenue source for the Parks and Recreation Fund is the half-cent sales tax that is dedicated to parks and recreation. As such, the LRP assumes the same revenue growth as the General Fund. Additional funding sources for the Parks and Recreation Fund are Use Tax and transfers in from the Conservation Trust and beginninig in 2025, transfers in from the Excise Tax Fund. The Excise Tax Fund transfers will help with funding the number and size of projects during this time period. Project expenditures total $119.6M throughout the LRP. The timing of capital projects will have to be re-evaluated into a phasing schedule throughout the 10 years. This will allow each project to be completed with available funding while maintaining the financial structure required for this fund. The Parks and Recreation Fund is where most of the capital projects for parks and recreation are held. Expenditures vary with anticipated development and infrastructure needs. Major projects

PARKS AND RECREATION FUND LONG-RANGE LONG RANGE PLANPLAN (cont) include the Salisbury Park North project in 2025, Stroh Park Synthetic Conversion, ongoing parks and trails development and a second recreation center at Reata West in 2031. The fund maintains a healthy cash reserve balance, except for 2025 and 2031, when the Salisbury Park North and Second Recreation Center project are underway. The LRP document continues to be used as a strategic planning tool and will be revised over the years. Due to the negative LRP cash reserve for 2025 and 2031, the Town will need to resort to project phasing to provide adequate funding for projects.

Long-Range Plan
LONG RANGE CULTURAL FUND PLAN LONG-RANGE PLAN The LRP for the Cultural Fund assumes that Charges for Services revenue grows incrementally at 4% through 2033. The Cultural Department already offers robust programming in shows, rentals and classes that makes the most of the space available at the PACE Center, the Schoolhouse and Ruth Chapel. Revenue growth is somewhat constrained by physical capacity, therefore, room for more programming and rentals is limited. Not including Capital Outlay, expenditures assume the same 4% growth as the General Fund in 2024 through 2033. Personnel costs are expected to increase from 37% to 41% of total expenses over the 10 years. Capital outlay varies with the replacement needs at the cultural facilities. The increased cost of talent and repair and maintenance of the facilities is impacting future spending.

CULTURAL FUND LONG-RANGE LONG RANGE PLANPLAN (cont) Fund balance in the Cultural Fund continues to remain healthy throughout the 10 years while focusing on ticket prices and class fees. This may be impacted by competition from other venues, disposable community income and economic conditions. Cash balance is maintained through management of the General Fund transfer and improved cost recovery of programming throughout the LRP.

Long-Range Plan
LONG RANGE FUND RECREATION PLAN LONG-RANGE PLAN The LRP plan for the Recreation Fund assumes that revenue grows incrementally between 3-4% through 2033. Revenue consists of charges for services, grants, and a Parks and Recreation Fund transfer. The Recreation Department provides a plethora of classes and programs for the Town which include group fitness classes, indoor pool activities along with facility rentals and classes. Revenue growth is somewhat constrained by physical capacity, therefore, room for more programming and rentals is limited. The LRP assumes the same rates of expenditure growth as the General Fund and the Cultural Fund since recreation programs are impacted by the same inflationary trends and labor market. Some adjustments are being made to the personnel structure to attract and retain staff in particularly challenging areas, such as lifeguards.

RECREATION FUND LONG-RANGE LONG RANGE PLANPLAN (cont) A salary study is expected to be completed before the end of 2023 which will provide the analysis of the best structure for part time employees while maximizing the operational opportunities the Recreation department has to offer. The capital outlay varies according to anticipated equipment replacement needs, but overall, capital projects are minimal in this fund. The fund balance of the Recreation Fund is maintained through transfers from the Parks and Recreation Fund. It is also likely that revenues from the new recreation center at Reata North will start to come in at the end of 2033, therefore revenue and operational expenses of the new recreation center is anticipated to impact this fund during the plan period.

Long-Range Plan
LONG RANGE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS PLAN FUND LONG-RANGE PLAN The LRP for the Public Improvements Fund assumes building-related taxes and intergovernmental shareback revenues will show higher growth in the near term as the activities that support these revenues are occurring now. Contributions are budgeted according to the anticipated revenues received from developers for planned development activities. It is likely that more contributions will be identified in the later years than are currently included in the plan; however, project expenditures will increase proportionally with those revenues. Expenditures vary from year to year depending on development and expected infrastructure replacement needs. Several projects make up the large capital numbers in 2024 consisting of sidewalks, street widening and extending roads. Projects include the widening of Lincoln Avenue, Stroh Road and Pine Lane Bridge over Cherry Creek. Sidewalk improvements at Pine Drive to Robinson Ranch are another near-term improvement.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FUND LONG-RANGE LONG RANGE PLANPLAN (cont) Due to large street projects being clustered in the next few years, the timing and scope of capital projects will have to be re-evaluated into a phasing schedule throughout the 10 years. This will be accomplished through the annual priority scoring process for capital projects. There is also the anticipated capacity in the Excise Tax Fund to increase the transfer into the Public Improvements Fund, if needed. The transfer is forecasted conservatively in later years due to the requirement that the appropriated amount be spent on eligible projects in the associated year funds were transferred.

EXPLANATION OF SIGNIFICANT BUDGET VARIANCES Five Year Historical Highlights The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) shows the growth or contraction in each of the major revenue and expenditure lines for the five-year period of 2020 – 2024. Use of the CAGR helps to show a longer period trend rather than focusing on just one year change over another. • Licenses and Permits reflect the growth in building permits for new housing developments in Town. • Intergovernmental has declined from 2020 due to a one-time Federal grant of $2.9M related to the CARES Act. The remaining years are relatively flat. • Charges for Services have declined due to the absence of new developments meeting the deficit reduction fee qualification. • Fines and Forfeitures have declined largely due to the Police Department’s current strong emphasis on community policing and education of citizens rather than a focus on ticket issuance. • Interest revenue reflects the change in interest rates that has occured over this time period.

Town of Parker 2024 Annual Budget
GENERAL FUND: SUMMARY (cont) • Community contributions to the Town are the primary revenue source in the Miscellaneous category and vary from year to year. • The Total Expenditures’ CAGR of 17% is driven by increases in Transfers Out and Salary and Benefits. The years 2021 and 2022 include a transfer to the Capital Renewal and Replacement Reserve Fund to help cover infrastructure needs identified in the 2021 Facilities Master Plan. • Salary and Benefits have grown 12%, which includes a 6% employee compensation increase and healthcare costs in addition to incremental increases in staffing as the Town grows. Other categories have increased to factor in inflation and Town population growth for the Town to continue to provide exceptional services and programs to the citizens. • Capital Outlay fluctuates due to the timing of necessary capital asset purchases and projects. More information on current and future capital outlays can be found in the Capital Budget section of this document.
2024 Adopted Budget vs. 2023 Projected Actual • The 2024 budgeted total expenditures are increasing $19.6M from the 2023 projection. Of the $19.6M, $6.5M are due to Salary and Benefits which includes 16.5 additional full time equivalent employees for 2024. The remainder is primarily an increase in Transfers Out to position the Town to complete a proposed debt defeasance in 2024. • The Town continues to evaluate Salary and Benefits through compensation studies and market analysis. 2024 includes a 6% performance pay increase and police officer step plan increase. • Initiating a compensation study for part-time employees demonstrates the Town’s commitment to equitable remuneration. The anticipated finalization in 2024 suggests a thorough assessment for potential adjustments. • The increase in Supplies, Internal Services and Utilities expenditures is driven by multiple factors such as inflation and incremental increases in staffing. • The 2024 Capital Outlay budget includes replacement of some aging equipment at Town facilities and parks maintenance equipment. • Transfers Out include funding for the defeasance of the 2014 Certificates of Participation debt. The $13.7M debt payoff accounts for 71% of the $19.3M Transfer Out amount in 2024. • The Fund Balance decreases $10M (29%) due to the one-time use of cash to help fund the budgeted debt defeasance.

EXPLANATION OF SIGNIFICANT BUDGET VARIANCES Additional information on major General Fund Revenues can be found in the Revenue Manual section of this document.
2024 Adopted Budget vs. 2023 Projected Actual • Overall, General Fund revenue is expected to increase 4% from the 2023 projection of $77.8M to $80.9M. This increase is driven primarily by budgeted growth of Sales Tax revenue of 5%. • The budgeted 10% increase in Property Tax revenue for 2024 is attributed to it being an assessment year for property tax valuation. This reflects an anticipation of changes in property values affecting the overall tax revenue. • The budget for Electric Excise Tax is increasing 4% to reflect the growth in CORE’s revenue due to increased development and their rate increases. • The projected decline in Building Permit revenue for 2023 is attributed to adverse weather conditions limiting construction activity and fluctuations in the housing market. • The increase in Miscellaneous Income is attributed to interest income. However, there is an expectation for this income to decrease in 2024, indicating a potential shift in interest rates.

† A handful of factors are likely affecting Town social media engagement in 2021 . Facebook has restructured how pages are promoted reducing the number of followers who see our posts on their News Feed. The engagement drop among municipalities' pages is a trend being experienced by many of our peers nationally, as evidenced by discussion among Government Social Media Organization professionals. Regular pace of events/activity frequency did not resume until fall and community events are some of the biggest drivers for engagement numbers. We also saw a diminished response/engagement to COVID messaging from 2020.

SPECIAL REVENUE SECTIONFUNDS TITLE FUND: Cultural Fund
EXPLANATION OF SIGNIFICANT BUDGET VARIANCES 2024 Adopted Budget vs. 2023 Projected Actual • The increase in expenditures between 2023 Projected and 2024 Budget is $1,223,560 or 17.6%. • The 2024 budget for Salary and Benefits includes funding for the performance pay adjustment of 6% and healthcare cost. • The 57% increase in the transfer to the Cultural Fund, aimed at funding additional art programs and funding of capital requirements showcases a commitment to enhancing cultural initiatives. • The 82% increase in Capital Outlay is directed towards the replacement of aging facilities and equipment for 2024. • Maintaining a 25% operating reserve reflects prudent financial management for the Cultural Fund balance.
2023 ACCOMPLISHMENTS Foster Community Creativity and Engagement • Our family shows included collaborations with Celtic Steps, Animal Farm, The Children’s
Museum of Denver, Boulder Ballet and several low-cost student matinees such as Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, The Jungle Book, and Giraffes Can’t Dance.
• DEI efforts in the PACE Center Art Gallery included a female-focused collection, “Women with Power Tools,” and a compelling show on Japanese encampments in Colorado called “Reflections on Amache.”
• The Honey Festival saw its highest turnout, with over 3,500 in attendance and 20+ bee and
honey-related vendors. Highlights included honeybee arts, crafts and education at our “Kids Hive” and the People’s Choice Award for the best honey!
• Parker Arts continued its youth volunteer program and welcomed young students to the
theater to share technical experience with backstage production in lighting, sound, stage crew, set construction and more.
Support an Active Community • Aging adults and assisted living facility residents welcomed the Parker Arts team for a menu of learning options including arts and crafts, lecture series viewings and discussions, book readings, singing sessions, cookie decorating, games, and conversation exercises to share experiences. Parker Arts also added several daytime lectures at the Schoolhouse to cater to older adults.
• A new, interactive history event called “Crime and Wine” – created in partnership with
Douglas County Historians at the Castle Rock Library – introduced patrons to the history of Parker through a true crime event from 1900. Offering food, wine, and tours of the historic Schoolhouse and Ruth Memorial Chapel, the event sold out and will be offered again in 2024 due to high demand.
• Our “Rockin’ abilities” classes and summer camp, which invites adolescents and adults with
exceptionalities to “join Parker’s new rock band,” saw an increase of 11 camps and classes with 52 participants in 2023. We also offered a sensory-friendly performance for The Sound of Music with 221 patrons in attendance, almost triple the previous year.

EXPLANATION OF SIGNIFICANT BUDGET VARIANCES 2024 Adopted Budget vs. 2023 Projected Actual • The increase in expenditures between 2023 Projected and 2024 Budget is $171,600 or 1.6%. • The Recreation Department is navigating potential permanent shifts in fitness and membership trends post-COVID-19, impacting revenues in this sector. However, a compensatory effect is anticipated, with strong demand for classes and rentals expected to offset much of the revenue difference. • The 2024 budget for Salary and Benefits includes funding for the performance pay adjustment of 6% and healthcare cost. • The $4M transfer from the Parks and Recreation Fund in 2024 plays a crucial role in sustaining the fund balance, particularly for capital projects aimed at maintaining aging equipment and facilities. • In 2024, an anticipated restructuring of part-time employees is expected to facilitate the attraction and retention of staff in challenging areas, such as lifeguards. The completion of a salary study will assist in addressing compensation gaps and related challenges.
2023 ACCOMPLISHMENTS Support an Active Community • Earned Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA) reaccreditation by creating an environment of regular review and analysis of programs and services. The result is enhanced quality of service for residents and improved operational efficiency. • Achieved overall operational cost recovery goal of 70%. • Increased annual facility rental revenue by 15%, surpassing the budgeted amount by $100,000 by year-end.

REVENUE MANUAL INTRODUCTION VIDEO LINK: HOW IT WORKS - TOWN SOURCES OF REVENUE
AN EVALUATION OF MAJOR REVENUES Revenue forecasting is important to ensure that the Town has the resources to meet its operational and infrastructure needs in the coming years. Looking only at revenue received from outside sources, the two charts on the following page show how sales and use tax revenues make up 74.4% of the total General Fund revenues and 44.1% of total Town revenues. Due to its reliance on this primary revenue source, the Town implemented a forecasting model to help identify future financial impacts to Town strategies. The forecast model maintains monthly historical revenues back to 2016 and includes the budget for the next fiscal year for each account by fund, which allows for quick identification of changes in historical trends. Various growth rates, rolling twelve-month averages and annualized amounts are also included for budget development. In 2021, the model was expanded to include a ten-year forecast for each revenue account to assist with long range planning. The forecasted amounts reflect potential economic impacts and the impact of planned Town activities and growth, in addition to the historical financial trends. In order to provide flexibility in the budget for unexpected events, revenue is budgeted conservatively. In 2019, the forecast model highlighted future revenue trends that prompted the Town to engage an outside consultant to analyze user fees and the level of infrastructure cost recovery related to growth and development. Resulting changes to fee structures positively impacted revenue beginning in 2020. Revenue Manual

Parker property owners
Collection:
The collection process begins with the Douglas County Assessor’s Office. Two types of property are valued by the Assessor’s Office: 1) “real property” (land and buildings) and 2) “personal property” (business machines and equipment). Once market values are established, the Assessor’s Office computes the assessed valuation of property based on state-legislated assessment percentages. Property is assessed at the end of one year, for collection in the following year. A five-year history of these assessment percentages is provided below.

PROPERTY TAX REVENUE (cont) Payment Property owners pay property taxes to Douglas County in either two installments due February 28 and June 15 or in one installment due April 30. Douglas County wires the Town’s property taxes directly to the Town’s main bank account on the 10th of the month following the month that the collection is processed by Douglas County. A five-year history of the mill levies which apply to all Parker taxpayers is provided below.

Town of Parker 2024 Annual Budget
PROPERTY TAX REVENUE (cont) Computing the Property Tax Bill The formulas used for computing residential property taxes assessed in 2023 are as follows: Assessed valuation = Adjusted property market value x Assessment ratio Property tax = Assessed valuation x Mill levy / 1,000 Parker $500,000 6.70% $33,500 2.602 / 1,000 $87
Adjusted Market Value x Assessment Ratio Assess Value x Mill Levy * Divided by 1,000 Property Tax
Other Government $500,000 6.70% $33,500 76.156 / 1,000 $2,551
* The mill levy for Parker is finalized; other governmental agencies are being finalized so the above example is an estimate only.
For the 2023 residential assessments paid in 2024, the owner of a home valued at $500,000 would have paid $87 in property taxes to the Town of Parker and $2,551 to the other governments common to all Parker taxpayers. Using the 29% business assessment rate, a business with a market value of $500,000 would have paid $377 in property taxes to the Town of Parker in 2024, and $11,043 to the other governments common to all Parker taxpayers.
Legal Restrictions The Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) Amendment to the Colorado Constitution limits property tax revenue growth to the amount collected the previous year increased by the Denver-Boulder Consumer Price Index and a local growth factor; however, Parker citizens have voted to exempt the Town from the revenue limit provisions of TABOR. TABOR also prohibits any increase to the mill levy except by election. Until 2020, the Gallagher Amendment to the Colorado Constitution restricted property tax growth by requiring the legislature to annually adjust the residential-assessed valuation rate to ensure that the proportion of residential to total state-assessed valuation remained constant. Due to residential growth and market values rising relative to commercial market values, the residential assessment ratio decreased over time from 21% in 1982 to 7.15% in 2021. The commercial property rate remained at 29%. Voters repealed the Gallagher Amendment in 2020, and the legislature froze the assessment rates for both residential and commercial properties; however, Commercial property will go to 27.9% for tax year 2023 along with the first $30,000 in actual value being exempted. It will go back to 29% for tax years 2024 and 2025. Multi-family residential property will be temporarily reduced from 7.15% to 6.7% for tax year 2024 and back to 7.15% for tax year 2025. All other residential real property tax rates have also been temporarily lowered to 6.7%. It will go back to 7.15% for tax year 2025. Finally, there is a statutory limitation which prohibits property tax revenue growth from exceeding 5.5% each year, adjusted for new construction, although it is generally held that home rule municipalities, like Parker, are exempt from this provision.

Visitors and residents in Parker
Collection:
In 1981, the citizens of Parker voted to implement a 1% sales and use tax, and voters increased the rate to 2.5% in 1982. In 1984, Parker became a home rule municipality with power to self-govern in matters of local and municipal concern. In 1990, the citizens voted to increase the sales tax rate to the current level of 3%, with the added .5% to be earmarked for parks and recreation improvements. Sales tax is charged on certain services and all retail purchases. As a home rule Town, Parker collects and administers its own sales and use tax. In late 2020, the Town signed an intergovernmental agreement with the State of Colorado that enables the Town to collect sales tax through their portal as well. This has increased the level of collections from marketplace facilitators. Businesses remit tax to Parker monthly, quarterly, or annually. Taxes collected are remitted to the Town by the 20th of the month following collection, either online or through a lockbox. The Town uses a number of enforcement tools to collect from delinquent accounts including taxpayer education, delinquency notices, personal phone contact and visits, audits, summons to municipal court and seizures.

The Town’s audit program emphasizes taxpayer education and voluntary compliance. The Town works with businesses which are delinquent or not remitting taxes to educate them on the correct way to calculate and remit sales and use tax. An audit may take two hours or several months to perform, depending on the complexity of the organization. Once the Town completes an audit, it meets with the taxpayer to go over the audit assessment and make any appropriate adjustments or corrections. The taxpayer then has 30 days to pay the assessment, work out a settlement or payment plan, or protest the assessment. The Town collects assessments through the Finance Department.

DEFICIT REDUCTION FEES Distribution: General Fund 100% Source:
Contractors and developers
Collection:
The Town developed a fiscal impact model in 1998 that calculates the financial effect of proposed new developments on the Town’s future operating budgets. The model looks at a 20-year projection of the revenues (e.g., property and sales tax) and the cost of services added by the proposed development (e.g., public safety, streets and parks maintenance). When there is a cumulative deficit for the 20-year period, a present value of the deficit is calculated. A development with a retail commercial component will have a lower or no deficit reduction fee depending on the retail versus residential mix. The fee is increased annually by inflation as measured by the Denver-Boulder Consumer Price Index (CPI). The deficit reduction fee is negotiated between the developer of a proposed new development and the Town during the annexation process. Once agreed upon, the fee becomes a part of the annexation contract.

Property owners within the Town limits
Collection:
Fees collected from residences and businesses fund construction of drainage improvements, maintenance of existing drainage facilities, monitoring and safeguarding of stormwater quality, and planning, designing and constructing regional drainage improvements in cooperation with the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District. Residential stormwater utility fees are a flat fee billed through the water and sanitation districts in Parker to minimize administrative collection costs and to make it easy for citizens to make their payment. Parker Water and Sanitation, Cottonwood Water and Sanitation, and Stonegate Water and Sanitation Districts collect fees from residents and remit them to the Town. Stormwater utility fees for commercial property are calculated based on impervious area and billed annually by the Finance Department. Impervious area constitutes any area that does not allow water/snow to be absorbed by the ground, such as sidewalks, rooftops, driveways and parking lots. Payments are made directly to the Town of Parker and are due by April 30.

CAPITAL BUDGET
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2024 CAPITAL BUDGET AND 10-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP)
BACKGROUND The following pages detail the Town’s 2024 Capital Budget and the Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The Town defines a capital asset as one that is acquired, purchased or constructed with a cost or fair market value greater than or equal to $5,000 and a useful life of more than one year. This may include equipment, furniture, fixtures, artwork, buildings, land and/or infrastructure. Capital spending may occur through each of the following funds and one project may be funded through multiple funds depending upon the project specifics:
• • • • • • • • • •
General Fund Parks and Recreation Fund Cultural Fund Recreation Fund Public Improvements Fund Capital Renewal and Replacement Fund Stormwater Utility Fund Fleet Fund Information Technology Fund Facilities Fund
The multi-fund structure is needed to account for various dedicated revenue streams and is also helpful in maintaining a broad focus across all community needs. It is especially important that the Stormwater operations be managed as an independent business as required by governmental accounting standards for enterprise funds. The Excise Tax Fund and the Impact Fee Funds are also potential sources of funding for qualified capital spending. This would be accomplished with an interfund transfer to one of the above listed funds, where the expenditure will occur. Within each of these funds, capital items are grouped into the following four categories:
• • • •
New capital Reinvestment in existing capital Facilities Machinery, equipment and software
The annual Capital Budget and ten-year CIP are created for different purposes. Town Council appropriates funds only for the next year’s proposed Capital Budget; the costs for these projects have been researched and the projects are supported by Town staff. The ten-year CIP represents projects that departments believe may be necessary in the next ten years, but are not completely researched, nor has any detailed engineering been completed.
Capital Budget

Town of Parker 2024 Annual Budget
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2024 CAPITAL BUDGET AND 10-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP) Detail for each project includes a project description, purpose of the project, budget, funding sources, impact on operating costs, impact on other departments and the Town strategic goals supported. Where appropriate, maps and/or pictures are included.
Selection of Capital Projects Projects in the 2024 Capital Budget have been selected through a scoring process by a crossdepartmental team. Departments submit standard Capital Budget Request forms for each of their proposed capital expenses. The form includes information for scoring each request such as a project description, mandates for the project, relevance to Town strategic goals, and future costs or cost savings. The team members score the projects in twelve categories including individual Town strategies. The projects are then sorted by average score and compared to revenue projections for each fund to include those capital projects for which there is available funding. Following the scoring process, the cross-departmental team meets to review the outcome and concur with the results. Once available funding by fund is determined, requested projects that do not have funding are moved to the first year of the ten-year CIP. This allows for those projects to be included in the process again for the next budget year. The process has been successful in that the overall results have been reasonable, emotional decisions have been mitigated and finite resources have been effectively allocated.

GENERAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Town Hall North Window Replacement
DESCRIPTION This project provides funding to replace the existing lower level windows on the north side of the building at Town Hall. The seal on these windows have failed to various degrees and are no longer able to provide a sealed envelope resulting in increased energy usage as well as location for water infiltration to occur. There are several windows on the second floor that also need attention to mitigate seal damage.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION Evaluation of the existing windows took place in 2021 and 2022 with indications that repairs should be made in the near future. It is typical with commercial buildings that the seals may begin to deteriorate requiring an industry term of reglazing. This is a practice of replacing the seals and/ or glass on each window pane to mitigate an unsealed condition. Currently several of the windows have seals which allow moisture to flow into the building and also allow conditioned air to escape resulting in interior damage as well as difficulty in maintaining comfortable space temperatures.

GENERAL FUND SECTION PROJECTS TITLE Capital Project: Police Facility Carpet Replacement
DESCRIPTION This project provides funding for replacement of carpet in office and high-density work areas supplementing the previous replacement of carpet in high-traffic areas.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION This project provides funding for replacement of carpet in the office and high-density work areas of the police station. The police station will be nearly 14 years old in 2024 and the carpet in the workspace areas are showing wear, deterioration, and unraveling. The current carpet is a broad loom rolled product that has held up well to hard use but is difficult to maintain. This project proposes the use of carpet tile. Carpet tile provides more options for future maintenance and rotation and is a superior choice for a 24/7 use building.

GENERAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Police Facility Evidence Warehousing Updates
DESCRIPTION Updates are needed to maximize dwindling space for drug and vehicle items held as evidence. This budget item improves the drug storage shelving and the layout of the outdoor vehicle storage cages.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION Several areas of the evidence warehouse are at capacity, with two areas well beyond capacity. The drug storage vault currently overflows to the middle of the room with boxes stacked over 5 feet and minimal room to move around them. The most southern vehicle cage needs to be sectioned off to allow for more storage for items that can be placed outside (including flammable items and bicycles), freeing up valuable general storage areas in the warehouse. Additional flammable cabinets will be purchased and housed in the outside storage area. The warehouse was purpose-built as an evidence storage facility for the Parker Police Department, with a 20-year life expectancy. We are 13 years into the warehouse’s life and experiencing storage issues sooner than expected because we store all of the property and evidence for the Lone Tree Police Department.

TOWN STRATEGIC GOALS ACHIEVED Develop a Visionary Community through Balanced Growth As the Town of Parker continues to grow and attract more visitors, the Parker Police Department needs to adapt and grow professionally alongside the community to ensure the highest level of public safety service to the community.
Innovate with Collaborative Governance By dedicating improvements to our property and evidence management, our collaborations with Lone Tree and the DA’s office will be more effective and efficient.
Promote a Safe and Healthy Community Enhancing the legitimacy and professionalism of criminal evidence at the Parker Police Department directly and significantly impacts this strategic goal.

DESCRIPTION This project provides funding for the replacement of the Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) unit at the Public Works Operations Center. CRAC units are specifically designed for the loads typically found in a computer room.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The existing CRAC unit is original to the building and has been in operation for approximately nine years. The unit services the primary IT data room at the Public Works facility. It is imperative to provide additional space temperatures in IT data rooms to prolong the related equipment. Industry standards for replacement of this type of unit is ten years.

GENERAL FUND SECTION PROJECTS TITLE Capital Project: Town Attorney Document Management System
DESCRIPTION This system will provide document management software for the Town Attorney’s Office. A document management system organizes and retains all legal documents (including research, draft agreements, correspondence and email) in one central location that can be easily accessed by, and allow for collaboration among, the legal team.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION A document management system will allow the Town Attorney’s Office to digitally store and organize its legal files. The current practice is paper files, with some storage of draft agreements, written correspondence and research on the storage drives and email within Outlook folders. This system will provide one repository for all of these documents without the need to consult multiple locations for historical information or most recent drafts. Implementation of this system will reduce the staff time spent creating, organizing, maintaining and storing the current system of paper filing.

SECTION TITLE GENERAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Human Resources NeoGov Bundle: Perform, Learn, Attract
DESCRIPTION This budget item is to purchase a bundle of software applications (Perform, Learn, and Attract) to more efficiently and effectively address current and anticipated organizational need.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The bundle of applications will have a positive impact on all Town departments.
Perform will provide a meaningful tool to evaluate employee performance and associate merit increases thereto. This application and related practice enhancements will provide a defensibility of process and demonstrate the Town’s compliance with the Equal Pay for Equal Work Act. A new system’s capability is necessary to encourage a more meaningful performance-related process for both employees and evaluators. At present, the Town does not have a system-wide solution for learning management. Learn will be a much-needed response for ongoing training, knowledge transfer, succession planning, and personal and professional development.
Attract is a best-in-class application for recruitment and generating a positive and productive candidate experience. In anticipation of continued, tight labor market conditions, our focus must be on creating the most favorable employee experience, beginning with the recruitment process and candidate experience. Among other features, this application will provide department-specific landing pages, robust sourcing capabilities and advanced analytics to leverage talent within our current and potential applicant pools.

TOWN STRATEGIC GOALS ACHIEVED Innovate with Collaborative Governance
Employing a high quality, dedicated work force is required of and supports the Town’s goal to innovate with collaborative governance. Exhibiting internal alignment by effectively evaluating employees, training employees, and attracting the most talented workforce demonstrates transparency, accountability, and responsible stewardship of the Town’s personnel-related funds. Further, offering more robust, internal tools/resources will better serve our staff and, in turn, allow our departments more time to focus on providing the highest quality of service to our community.

GENERAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Police Department License Plate Readers on Patrol Vehicles
DESCRIPTION This budget item is for the purchase of mobile license plate readers (LPR) which attach to the roof of patrol cars and provide real-time scans of license plates to detect stolen cars, missing people, warrants, and other information agencies attach to license plates. This list is compiled by the Colorado Bureau of Investigations (CBI) and is automatically downloaded to the in-car system. The in-car system consists of four cameras mounted to the corners of the roof to ensure maximum information gathering.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The LPR gathers each plate it reads with a date and time stamp that officers or detectives can research to narrow down potential suspects responsible for criminal activity. If the officer can ensure the validity of the plate read, they can act upon the information given to them in realtime. The LPR system does not give registration information from the license plate or use facial recognition software to identify any driver or passenger.

TOWN STRATEGIC GOALS ACHIEVED Support an Active Community The use of cameras assists in solving crimes. The less crime that is perceived allows citizens to be out in the community more often, as safety is less of a concern. The portable LPR system can be used if car break-ins spike at the different trailheads throughout the Town, as has happened during the summer months in previous years.
Enhance Economic Vitality Solving cases related to crime allows citizens to feel more comfortable being out of their houses, thus assisting in the economy. Also, the use of useable leads has reduced the amount of time that officers and detectives spend on developing viable leads.
Promote a Safe and Healthy Community The use of cameras assists in solving crimes. The less crime that is perceived allows citizens to be out in the community more often as safety is less of a concern.

GENERAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Police Department Stationary License Plate Reader Systems
DESCRIPTION This project will install ten Flock stationary license plate readers (LPR) at various locations throughout the Town. LPRs are valuable in locating stolen vehicles, wanted parties, and missing people.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION Colorado has led the nation in stolen vehicles for the last several years. These stolen vehicles are then used to commit other crimes, such as burglary, large-scale shoplifting, drug trade, etc. Parker has seen a significant uptick in crimes involving stolen vehicles from Parker and other metro cities. LPRs are a proven force multiplier. Stationary LPRs can be strategically placed at main entry points of the Town and known “hot spots” where stolen cars are frequently recovered, like big box and grocery stores. Most of our neighboring communities, including Douglas County and Castle Rock, have installed Flock stationary LPRs. Agencies nationwide that utilize Flock LPRs also contribute their data to a central database, further assisting departments in locating vehicles involved in criminal activity that cross state lines and borders

Innovate with Collaborative Governance
Crime is not limited to jurisdictional boundaries, which increases the need for cooperation between all law enforcement agencies. Flock provides a national database for sharing LPR information between law enforcement agencies nationwide. Crime is mobile, and collaboration between agencies is critical in the fight against crime.
Promote a Safe and Healthy Community A safe community is a healthy community. The appeal of Parker is that “hometown feel” we have all worked hard to maintain. The feeling of safety is a pillar of Parker’s success and should be protected as an essential aspect.

SECTION TITLE GENERAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Public Works Street Sweeper
DESCRIPTION This budget item provides for the addition of a full-size street sweeper to the Town’s fleet.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION Current service levels for street sweeping activities include two different functions. During the winter months, street sweeping activity is focused on removing materials within 72 hours after a snow event on primary and collector streets. During the summer months, street sweeping activities are planned to sweep all streets, including residential streets, a minimum of four times per year. All of these efforts affect our air and water quality and are considered Best Management Practices (BMP) for the Town and its citizens. It is estimated that 133 lane miles of streets will be added to the Town by 2025. These streets will be added to the Town’s inventory for maintenance, which includes sweeping. Due to the expected increase in lane miles and the increased geographic area, an additional street sweeper will be needed to maintain the current level of service. Street sweepers typically require a great deal of maintenance to remain effective. Some repairs may take several weeks to a month to perform. It is typical for a fleet to incorporate at least one spare street sweeper for every two to three operating units.

SECTION TITLE GENERAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Public Works Dump Truck with Plow/Spreader
DESCRIPTION The addition of a single axle dump truck primarily is to provide necessary equipment for snow plowing and secondarily to provide support vehicles during routine street maintenance activities.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The Town is the sole entity responsible for plowing snow from Town-owned and operated streets as well as performing repair and replacement of asphalt and concrete assets associated with streets to provide reliable infrastructure and effective mobility. During plowing activities, Town staff will typically operate from eight to twelve snowplows depending on the severity of the event and availability of staff. It is typical for these pieces of equipment to incur maintenance-related issues during an event. Maintaining a sufficient percentage of necessary resources to perform this function is essential to keeping the roadways passible. This addition will provide additional ability to sustain snow removal efforts during long duration events. The single axle truck can also be used for residential plowing when required and is a maneuverable and versatile truck that is easier to operate while still possessing sufficient power to operate as a full-size plow truck. During the period of time streets staff are performing asphalt and concrete repair, the single axle allows for maneuverability, versatility, and efficient operation on narrow residential streets. Due to the expected increase in lane miles and the increased geographic area, an additional snowplow and an additional staff member will be needed to maintain the current level of service.

SECTION TITLE GENERAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Public Works LED Signal Face Replacement Program
DESCRIPTION This project will replace high-age light-emitting diode (LED) signal faces needed for the traffic signal heads.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION Traffic signal equipment requires routine maintenance and equipment replacement to ensure reliability of the transportation network. Regular replacement of aged traffic signal equipment that has shown reliability issues or has reached end-of-service life reduces the number of after-hours repairs/callbacks and helps control associated labor costs. All Town traffic signals (approximately 100 as of 2023) utilize LED traffic signal faces. The use of LED signal faces became the Town standard over twenty years ago due to their energy efficiency and extended life (versus prior use of incandescent signal faces). All LED signal faces begin to dim over time and need to be replaced to meet minimum Federal MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) requirements per Section 4D.06. In addition, as the LED signal faces continue to age, failures become more prevalent. An average traffic signal in the Town of Parker has approximately 72 signal faces per intersection. The Town needs a program to replace these LED signal faces to improve the dependability and visibility of the LED signal faces. The requested budget is based on a ten-year replacement program that would replace the LED signal faces in ten traffic signals per year (10% per year).

GENERAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Parks Computerized Irrigation Controller Update
DESCRIPTION This project will retrofit all irrigation controllers with new computerized technology capable of supporting cellular connectivity.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION This retrofit conversion is necessary to irrigate all Town properties. The Town’s current computerized irrigation controller system, which is a radio-based platform, is being updated to operate on a cloud/cellular platform and eliminate the use of the current 450MHz radio frequency. Due to the expanse and complexity of computerized irrigation, going to a completely new system is not a viable economic option.
PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2022 Projected 2023 Budgeted 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 TOTAL
Expenditures $ 22,080 55,000 310,000 $ 387,080
FUNDING SOURCES General Fund Revenue
IMPACT ON OPERATING COSTS There is a negative impact on operating cost associated with converting to this technology, however, without such an expense the Parks and Recreation Department will not be able to efficiently water Town assets such as trees, shrubs and turf.
IMPACT ON OTHER DEPARTMENTS There is a positive impact on nearly all departments as computerized irrigation provides the necessary water to sustain a desirable landscape at all Town properties.
TOWN STRATEGIC GOALS ACHIEVED Support an Active Community
This project supports an active community by providing the necessary irrigation for Town sports fields and other outdoor spaces.
Enhance Economic Vitality Computerized irrigation enhances economic vitality by ensuring Town assets are maintained and continue to present the Town of Parker as a well maintained and inviting community for business and patrons alike.
Develop a Visionary Community through Balanced Growth Through visionary development and design, the Town has invested in landscapes and turf, the maintenance of which are made possible through the computerized irrigation system.
Promote a Safe and Healthy Community The Parks and Recreation Department is committed to the promotion of a safe and healthy community by providing safe and inviting landscapes and turf throughout Town. Without irrigation, Town assets would go dormant and eventually succumb to dry conditions. Town of Parker 2024 Annual Budget

SECTION PARKS AND TITLE RECREATION FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Recreation Center Pickleball Court Upgrades
DESCRIPTION This budget items allows for the retrofit of two lighting poles at the Recreation Center pickleball courts with LED conversion kits which allow for LED lamps. Two other poles may be removed due to LED technology and size of the courts.

LEDs also reduce the spill light and glare by more than 50%.

DESCRIPTION This budget item provides for the replacement of two wooden portable toilet enclosures at Tallman Park.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION This request is to replace the wooden portable toilet enclosures with long-lasting metal enclosures. Over the years these wood structures have needed annual staining and repair and are frequently vandalized (boards kicked out). The Town’s standard since the original wood enclosures were installed at Tallman Park is the metal enclosures used at all other Town parks.

IMPACT ON OPERATING COSTS The impact to operating costs will be positive as replacement with metal enclosures will decrease the need for routine maintenance for wood and reduce the impacts of maintenance caused by vandalism.
IMPACT ON OTHER DEPARTMENTS None
TOWN STRATEGIC GOALS ACHIEVED Support an Active Community Tallman Park is one of Parker’s most popular parks, used for its large playground, multi-purpose sports field, and ballfield providing a destination for an active community.
Foster Community Creativity and Engagement Tallman provides citizens a space to recreate, participate in team activities and interact with other users. A well-kept and aesthetically-pleasing park invites citizens to engage in these activities.
Promote a Safe and Healthy Community The Parks, Recreation and Open Space Department is committed to providing safe and inviting amenities to our community. This request encourages a safe and healthy environment, while providing privacy. By replacing the wood enclosures with metal, park users will no longer be subjected to the potential for injury caused by weathering wood or frequent vandalism.

CULTURAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: PACE Rigging Lineset
DESCRIPTION This is a three-year project that will add three rigging linesets (one per year) to the PACE Center production equipment. 2024 is the second year in this project.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The rigging linesets are the series of motors, cables, and pipes that allow a theater to suspend theatrical elements such as lighting and scenery over the stage. When the PACE Center was built, due to value engineering, the rigging system did not meet the needs of the facility. This becomes even more evident and challenging as Parker Arts attempts to expand its programming. In order to correctly and safely facilitate shows, events and rentals, it is necessary to add additional motorized linesets. This expansion will allow Parker Arts to increase the size and complexity of the programming offered.

SECTION TITLE CULTURAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: PACE Production Lighting Transition to LED
DESCRIPTION Transition all Production Lighting equipment used regularly in the PACE Mainstage Theater to equivalent LED equipment.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION Lighting equipment is an essential component for the everyday operations of our theater. This project would replace all of the production lighting equipment in the PACE Mainstage Theater with new, state of the art, energy-efficient LED equipment. This coincides with the Facilities ongoing effort to move to LED lighting throughout the PACE Center and other Town buildings. This transition goes towards our strategic plan goal of increased sustainability by significantly decreasing the power consumption of the equipment itself. It also greatly reduces the heat created by the lighting equipment, which in turn saves energy in temperature control measures in the room as well. Finally, because the industry has already begun the shift to “state of the art” LED lighting systems in their theaters, touring acts are starting to require this in their artist riders.
PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2022 Projected 2023 Budgeted 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 TOTAL

CULTURAL FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: PACE Acoustic Piano Replacement
DESCRIPTION This expenditure is for the replacement of the existing Schimmel baby grand piano that has exceeded its life expectancy with the purchase of a new Steinway baby grand piano.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The existing acoustic piano has mechanical issues, does not deliver the sound expected, and does not meet the needs of professional touring artist contract riders. All of these factors increase our expenses, while limiting the artists and clients that we attract as well as those that are willing to return. With the purchase of a new rider-acceptable piano, we will not only decrease the expenses associated with trying to fix our piano or rent a replacement but could also increase the revenue generated by enticing new artists and clients as well as increase the overall quality of our productions.

RECREATION FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Recreation Center Lap Pool Replaster
DESCRIPTION This project is the replastering of the Parker Recreation Center Lap Pool.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The Parker Recreation Lap Pool is the only indoor public lap pool in Parker and serves community members throughout all stages of their lives. Regular replastering of pool shells is critical to maintaining the integrity of the pool shell and prolonging the life of the pool. Life expectancy for indoor pool plaster is generally 10-12 years. The Recreation Center Lap Pool shell was last replastered in 2007 and requires new plaster to refresh it from years of heavy usage and to extend the life of the amenity. Plaster begins to pit, break away and stain as it nears the end of its life expectancy. All of those are evident within the lap pool.

RECREATION FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Recreation Center Weight Room Flooring
DESCRIPTION The is the second phase of a two-part project. The first step was completed last year and involved replacing the carpeted surfaces with rubberized, industry-standard flooring. This budget item replaces the existing rubberized flooring in the center and west side of the weight room.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The weight room floor at the recreation center is a combination of surfaces that includes two types of rubberized flooring. This project intends to replace the old rubber flooring in the center of the weight room with industry standard rubberized flooring. This rubberized flooring was originally installed in 2009 and has seen heavy traffic for almost 15 years. The rubberized flooring utilized in fitness centers today sees a lifespan of 15-20 years. The new rubber floor is not only easier to clean and maintain, but also it absorbs sound and provides an ideal surface for body weight and free weight exercises. The new flooring will also aid in sound management for the offices on the first floor that are directly underneath the weight room.

RECREATION FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Recreation Center Domestic Hot Water Storage
DESCRIPTION This project provides funding for a replacement and upgrade to the current domestic hot water storage capacity at the Recreation Center.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The purpose of this project is to replace the existing domestic hot water system and storage with multiple hot water on-demand units. The existing unit is approximately 12 years old and is nearing the end of its useful life. This project plans to replace this unit with multiple hot water on-demand units, sized appropriately to handle the bather load for this facility. These devices are proven to supply hot water in an energy-efficient manner. Also, having multiple units will provide redundancy for future replacement of individual units.

RECREATION FUND SECTION PROJECTS TITLE Capital Project: Recreation Center Ballet Barre System
DESCRIPTION This budget item provides for the purchase of ballet barres and mirrors in Fitness Studio 1 at the Parker Recreation Center.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION To maximize the usable, revenue generating space in the studios and allow for Barre classes to be scheduled in either studio, the addition of ballet barres in Studio 1 is needed. The Fitness Division currently offers three Barre-specific classes that average 25 participants per class and have 6 to 10 participants wait-listed for each class. While we have instructors willing to teach and participants to fill classes, there is no room for expansion or additional class options due to conflicting class times. By adding barres to Studio 1, the division will have the ability to schedule Barre Classes in either studio increasing instructor hours, customer participation and department revenue. The project would include the purchase of the barre system, removal and installation of existing mirrors on the west facing wall and adding mirrors to the east facing wall.

RECREATION FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Recreation Center Body Composition Unit
DESCRIPTION This budget item is for the purchase of a Body Composition Machine and related software to provide accurate fitness screenings for customers and complement the 2022 purchase of the Resting Metabolic Rate machine.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION Current fitness trends have ranked data collection for an individual’s body composition as the number one trend in 2022 and 2023 per ACSM Top Fitness Trends. Basic manual skinfold body composition testing is adequate, but a body composition machine provides the most accurate measurement of body fat and muscle composition (outside of a medical lab setting). The related software will provide staff with built-in coaching tools and customizable reporting that will offer a higher level of body assessment to our clients. Combined with the resting metabolic rate machines, the proposed body composition allows us to remain current with trends and provide a complete fitness assessment for participants, allowing them to monitor their progress toward health and wellness goals with pre- and post-tests through a variety of measurements.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FUND PROJECTS: TRAFFIC SIGNALS Capital Project: Chambers/Stroh Road Signal
DESCRIPTION This project is a traffic signal at the Chambers Road and Stroh Road intersection.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The initial (temporary) construction will be for a span wire traffic signal at the Chambers Road and Stroh Road intersection. Timing of the initial construction will depend on the buildout rate of the adjacent developments that will result in increased traffic counts at the intersection. The initial span wire traffic signal configuration will be required as the adjacent development will only be constructing a portion of ultimately required roadways with their initial construction. A future mast arm traffic signal upgrade will occur as development and/or the Town completes the roadway improvements, but this will be a separate project.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FUND PROJECTS: ROADS Capital Project: Becket and Woodman Drive Connection
DESCRIPTION This budget item provides for the construction of a road to connect Becket Drive and Woodman Drive to correct a life safety issue and provide secondary access to the 171 residential units located at the southwest corner of Parker Road & Cottonwood Drive.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The residential neighborhood south of Cottonwood Drive and west of Parker Road (State Highway 83) contains 171 residential units that are currently accessible by a single ingress/egress connection which exceeds fire code requirement. This single current ingress/egress connection is through Cottonwood Way to Cottonwood Drive. To address this life safety issue by establishing a second point of ingress/egress, the Town has begun negotiations with Parker Water and Sanitation District (PWSD) as well as the Parker Meadows Condominium Association for right of way conveyance for a second point of access to Woodman Drive (to Parker Road). Right of way acquisitions will include a portion of Becket Drive, a portion of Woodman Drive, and the northsouth area between which will be known as “Brompton Way”.
PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2022 Projected 2023 Budgeted 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 TOTAL

IMPACT ON OPERATING COSTS As with any new roadway/bridge construction, the Town should anticipate long-term maintenance costs. Roadways are typically constructed with a 30-year design life assuming routine preventative and long-term maintenance such as mill/overlays are performed.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FUND PROJECTS: ROADS Capital Project: Lincoln Avenue Widening - Keystone to Parker Road
DESCRIPTION This project will widen Lincoln Avenue from Keystone Boulevard to Parker Road to a triple-lane configuration.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION Lincoln Avenue was widened to its current four-lane configuration in 1997/1998, but based on traffic projections at that time, the ultimate six-lane configuration was known to be needed in the future. Due to continued and projected traffic increases on Lincoln Avenue, the time has come for this widening to occur. The project will include widening of four bridge structures with two at Newlin Gulch and two at Cherry Creek.
PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2022 Projected 2023 Budgeted 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 TOTAL
Expenditures $ 386,330 1,780,805 23,000,000 $ 25,167,135
FUNDING SOURCES Public Improvements Fund Revenue and anticipated partial funding through Douglas County
IMPACT ON OPERATING COSTS As with any new roadway construction, the Town should anticipate long-term maintenance costs. Annual funding for roadway and bridge maintenance will need to increase to support this proposed infrastructure.
IMPACT ON OTHER DEPARTMENTS The Parks Department handles snow removal on the structures and areas where the Town is the current property owner (such as the Recreation Center).
TOWN STRATEGIC GOALS ACHIEVED Support an Active Community
The project will improve circulation on Lincoln Avenue around and near the Town’s Recreation Center and Douglas County’s Challenger Park. The project will also include multi-use sidewalks which will promote bicycles and pedestrian activities along the roadways.
Enhance Economic Vitality This project will improve the traffic operations around the commercial areas adjacent to the project.
Innovate with Collaborative Governance The Town and Douglas County executed an IGA in 2021 with an amendment in 2022 to jointly fund the design with anticipated future partnership on the construction.
Promote a Safe and Healthy Community The infrastructure created by this project will support the planned development of the surrounding area to promote a safe transportation network. Capital Budget

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FUND PROJECTS: ROADS Capital Project: Stroh Road Widening - J Morgan to Motsenbocker
DESCRIPTION This project will widen Stroh Road from the J Morgan Boulevard intersection to the Motsenbocker Road/Crowfoot Valley Road intersection. The project will include construction of a new (sister) bridge over Cherry Creek and rehabilitation of the existing bridge over Cherry Creek.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION Stroh Road is an important east-west roadway in the Town’s network. Due to the planned buildout of the southwest quadrant of the Town and continued development south and east of the Town, traffic is anticipated to increase on Stroh Road to the point where the roadway needs to be widened. The project will consist of building two new lanes on the south side of the roadway that will become the future eastbound direction. The existing lanes and bridge will be repurposed to be the future westbound lanes. A sidewalk will be constructed on the south side of the roadway and a sidewalk gap eliminated on the north side of the roadway adjacent to the Town’s Stroh Soccer Park.
PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2022 Projected 2023 Budgeted 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 TOTAL

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FUND PROJECTS: ROADS Capital Project: Hilltop and Parker Road Intersection Improvements
DESCRIPTION This project provides for the construction of a westbound double left-hand turn on Hilltop Road at the Parker Road intersection and a northbound right-hand turn lane.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The Town previously made intersection improvements at the Hilltop Road/Parker Road intersection in 2004 prior to the opening of Kohls/Flat Acres development. Traffic at the intersection has increased and improvements are needed for improved operations at the intersection. The construction of a westbound double-left hand turn lane (currently a single left hand turn lane) is needed to improve the operations of this traffic signal. Left-hand turning traffic routinely backs-out of the turn lane during peak times, which creates a safety concern. In addition, a northbound to eastbound right hand turn lane will be constructed for this movement.
PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2022 Projected 2023 Budgeted 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 TOTAL

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FUND PROJECTS: ROADS Capital Project: Pine Lane Bridge over Cherry Creek
DESCRIPTION This project provides funding to perform rehabilitation/heavy maintenance that goes beyond routine repair and maintenance to the Pine Lane Bridge which spans Chery Creek. The bridge spans are 615 feet long and 87 feet wide and the bridge provides multimodal transportation over Cherry Creek on Pine Lane. Recent federally required bridge inspections and assessments have determined heavy repair and maintenance to this bridge is needed to ensure continued function and the ability to ensure safe multimodal transportation.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION This project addresses multiple rehabilitation/heavy maintenance and upgrades to this bridge. The bridge deck is constructed with asphalt over concrete. The bridge deck shows cracking of the asphalt, and a mill/overlay of the asphalt is anticipated. Expansion joints at both ends of the bridge may need to be replaced or eliminated, and the bridge railing and stone facade have continued to deteriorate from exposure to snow mitigation materials and will need to be upgraded to resistant materials. The median on this bridge is beginning to fail, exposing reinforcing steel.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FUND PROJECTS: OTHER Capital Project: Fiber Optic Network Upgrades
DESCRIPTION This project includes redundancy improvements to the Town’s fiber optic network to serve both Town facilities and traffic signals.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The Town fiber optic network includes nearly 30-miles of fiber optic infrastructure to link the nearly 100-traffic signals and connect Town facilities for internet/intranet operations. Loop (also called ring) fiber optic configurations allow for data transmission to continue if a section of a loop is severed by changing the direction of data to the connected part of the loop. In 2019, the Town fiber optic network experienced four construction-related severing cuts. Luckily, the damage occurred in areas with existing loop infrastructure and the system continued to function until the damage was repaired. Continued development of the fiber optic network is needed to provide redundancy throughout the rest of the network. Additional fiber optic infrastructure will be built with the appropriate roadway and/or traffic signal capital improvement projects but there are three remaining locations that are standalone projects. They are as follows: • Dransfeldt Ring–Dransfeldt Road from Mainstreet to the retail traffic signal • West Ring–Chambers Road from Mainstreet to E-470 • Hilltop Ring–Hilltop Road from Tallman Drive to Hess Road

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FUND PROJECTS: OTHER Capital Project: Medians and Entryways
DESCRIPTION This project includes median landscaping on non-landscaped roadway medians within the Town.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The Town has a backlog of non-landscaped medians within the Town and this annual capital improvement project addresses that backlog. While there are numerous non-landscaped medians in the Town, Town Council direction is that the next unfinished median to receive landscaping is the Lincoln Avenue median between Keystone Boulevard and Jordan Road. Other locations include but are not limited to Twenty Mile Road north of Mainstreet, Jordan Road south of Mainstreet and Mainstreet east of Chambers. The Town has received comments/complaints from residents relating to this unfinished Lincoln Avenue median, which is an entry point into the Town’s incorporated boundary on Lincoln Avenue from the west.
PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2022 Projected 2023 Budgeted 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 TOTAL

FUNDING SOURCES Public Improvements Fund Revenue
IMPACT ON OPERATING COSTS The Town would anticipate contracting for the maintenance with an independent contractor as is done with all Town medians. Based on the size of this median island, it is anticipated to cost approximately $10,000 per year for this contract service. In addition, the water needed to irrigate these medians would run approximately $5,000 per year.
IMPACT ON OTHER DEPARTMENTS Parks & Recreation handles the median landscaping/ irrigation maintenance throughout the Town. Their budget will need to be increased to reflect this additional cost.
TOWN STRATEGIC GOALS ACHIEVED Enhance Economic Vitality This program improves the aesthetics of the Town’s roadway network and compliments adjacent commercial development.
Develop a Visionary Community through Balanced Growth This program’s effort is part of the needed infrastructure to support the planned development of the Town. Median landscaping infrastructure creates a sense of place that can help tie the community together.

CAPITAL RENEWAL AND REPLACEMENT FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Town Hall Expansion
DESCRIPTION This project funds the design and construction for the expansion of Town Hall.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION Town Hall was constructed in 2001/2002 to replace Old Town Hall. Its original capacity was based on a 10-year evaluation of space needs. Since then, the Town has continued to grow, and both Town Hall and Old Town Hall continue to house essential internal functions. Old Town Hall is moving beyond its useful life and will require substantial maintenance dollars (e.g., mechanical equipment and roofing) to keep the space usable. Expanding Town Hall to meet the foreseeable future needs of the Town would be a more efficient use of those funds. This expansion of Town Hall is part of the Facilities Master Plan that was completed in 2022. The master plan also includes eventual demolition of Old Town Hall.

SECTION TITLE FUND PROJECTS STORMWATER Capital Project: Newlin Gulch at Lincoln and Recreation Drive
DESCRIPTION This project will construct master-planned improvements to Newlin Gulch at Lincoln Avenue and Recreation Drive.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION Newlin Gulch is a major drainageway located within the Town, stretching northeasterly from the Rueter-Hess Reservoir to Cherry Creek. This project is part of the Major Drainageway Plan (MDP) that sets forth master-planned stabilization and grade-control improvements for the channel. These improvements are necessary to ensure the long-term stability and operation of the drainageway. Bank stabilization will help secure the sides of the channel and reduce the potential for erosion and impacts to adjacent properties. Grade control structures will reduce the risk of erosion in the channel bottom to reduce sediment transfer that impacts downstream water quality. This project also includes improvements to Newlin Gulch’s crossing of Recreation Drive that currently requires the roadway to be closed during times of moderate flows in Newlin Gulch. Improvements to this crossing will eliminate disruptions to Recreation Drive. Finally, this project will make significant improvements to the existing safety issue related to roadway flooding, as it is not uncommon for motorists to drive into standing water at this location.

STORMWATER FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Oak Gulch Improvements
DESCRIPTION This project consists of master-planned stablilization and grade-control structures to Oak Gulch through the planned Anthology North development.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION Oak Gulch is a major drainageway located within the Anthology North development. This drainageway is the subject of an Outfall Systems Plan (OSP) performed by the Town and the Mile High Flood District. This OSP sets forth master-planned stabilization and grade-control improvements to the channel necessary to ensure the long term stability of the drainageway. This project proposes to construct a segment of these improvements located in the vicinity of the Anthology North development. These improvements are necessary to ensure the long term stability and operation of the drainageway, and will include several elements. Bank stabilization improvements will help secure the sides of the channel and reduce the potential for erosion and impacts to adjacent properties. Grade control structures will reduce the risk of erosion in the channel bottom and help reduce the overall slope of the channel. This will also reduce the velocities in the channel and further prevent sediment transfer that impacts downstream water quality.

STORMWATER FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Cottonwood Outfall to Cherry Creek
DESCRIPTION This project proposes to construct improvements to stormwater infrastructure within the Cottonwood development in the vicinity of Cottonwood Drive and Cherry Creek.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The Cottonwood subdivision is among the older developments in the Town and improvements will be needed to the aging stormwater infrastructure in this area to ensure the proper conveyance of stormwater runoff. The improvements proposed with this budget item include replacement and updates to the existing storm drainage outfall to Cherry Creek located at the northeast corner of Cottonwood Drive and the creek. This project will improve the operations of the storm drainage outfall serving large portions of the Cottonwood area, replace aging infrastructure that no longer functions properly to minimize nuisance conditions, improve water quality, and improve maintainability. The project will also seek to improve water quality within the downstream Cherry Creek basin through the removal of trash, debris, and some sediment with the outfall structure.

STORMWATER FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Cottonwood Storm Pipe Lining
DESCRIPTION This project proposes to repair and coat or line the 96” corrugated steel arch-span storm sewer running between Parker Road and Cherry Creek.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The Cottonwood subdivision is among the older developments in the Town and improvements will be needed to the aging stormwater infrastructure in this area to ensure the proper conveyance of stormwater runoff. The improvements proposed with this project will include spot repairs of a 96” corrugated steel arch-span storm sewer. Additionally, after spot repairs have been completed, the entire sewer will be lined or coated to protect from corrosion and ensure its structural integrity. This project will improve the operations of this storm sewer serving large portions of the Cottonwood area, repairing aging infrastructure to ensure its long-term functionality. The project will also increase the maintainability of the pipe by eliminating the roughness and clogging potential of a corrugated metal material. This work will help to prevent the enormous cost and disruption that a failure of this facility would present.

FLEET SERVICES FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Fleet Replacement
DESCRIPTION This budget item is an annual allocation of funds to address the ongoing replacement of equipment deemed at or past its useful serviceable life.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION It is the policy of the Town to equip staff with the tools needed to provide services to its citizens professionally, competently and safely. Vehicles and other fleet equipment (“Fleet Unit”) are among the biggest tools needed. These items represent a substantial financial investment and must be handled in the most economic manner, both in their operation and in maximizing their disposal value. This policy recognizes that each Fleet Unit has a number of “lives”.
• Service life – amount of time a unit is capable of rendering service • Economic life – amount of time the unit’s average total cost is at a minimum • Technological life – amount of time the relative productivity of the unit is comparable to newer models
The following costs and other factors should be considered in determining Fleet Unit replacement recommendations.
• • • • • • •
Operation/maintenance costs Repair costs Parts availability Downtime Technological obsolescence Condition Safety
The following is a brief explanation of the rating criteria standards. • Age and mileage/hours – standards are based on the experience in the class of equipment and industry standards as recommended by the American Public Works Association (APWA), national averages and other cities, and intend to reflect the least cost and highest resale value to the Town. • Maintenance and repair costs – the standard is based on the total of maintenance and repair costs as a percentage of the original purchase price. Accident and warranty repairs are not included in this calculation. • Reliability – the standard will be based on an acceptable level of downtime for the class of equipment. • Condition – a physical evaluation made for each vehicle that meets or exceeds the base standards for age, mileage and/or maintenance costs. The standard will be based on the cost of necessary repairs as a percentage of book value of the Fleet Unit. The first five years of funding includes approximately $500,000 per year to address a backlog of replacement equipment currently categorized as “extended life” units. Capital Budget

FUNDING SOURCES Fleet Services Fund Revenue
IMPACT ON OPERATING COSTS Replacing equipment at the appropriate time reduces the exposure of possible costly repairs. There is also an impacted soft cost to the operation when a piece of equipment is not available to perform its intended task.
IMPACT ON OTHER DEPARTMENTS Funding the project has a positive impact on all operational departments. Having reliable equipment is important to the Town’s overall capability to provide services
TOWN STRATEGIC GOALS ACHIEVED Support an Active Community
Many pieces of equipment in the Town’s fleet are used on a daily basis to provide services from mowing, to plowing snow and maintenance. All of the functions of the fleet are needed to provide ongoing opportunities for our citizen base.
Enhance Economic Vitality By maintaining the Town’s roadways, providing desirable amenities such as parks and open space, and providing a safe place through law enforcement, the replacement capital has a major impact on the Town’s ability to create a culture and environment where business can succeed.
Develop a Visionary Community through Balanced Growth The Fleet replacement evaluation process includes many aspects to score each piece of equipment being evaluated. This provides for consistency and justifiable expenses while managing the need just based on a time table. This has been proved to be a cost effective and best practice method to evaluate the equipment.
Promote a Safe and Healthy Community Purchases such as police vehicles, plow equipment, and service equipment used for maintaining roadways and stormwater systems provide an active role in providing a safe and healthy community. Additionally, the equipment used to maintain the Town’s parks and open space is essential to providing these activity areas and providing opportunities for the public.

TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT FUND PROJECTS Capital Project: Network Improvements
DESCRIPTION The allocated money will be used for a variety of network improvements and replacements in 2024.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION In 2023 we initiated a network master plan with a consultant that consisted of a network architect and network engineer. The network master plan concluded with a list of projects that the Town needs to undertake over the next ten years to maximize network security, support heavier network usage, and replace end-of-life hardware and cabling. This money will be used primarily for two projects in 2024. The first project will be a robust enterprise and guest wireless system townwide. Our hope is to get three to four facilities done in 2024. This will not only include all new wireless infrastructure but also network level authentication to provide security. The other project will be replacing end-of-life network hardware and cabling. We hope to target one or two of the major facilities in 2024. Replacing network hardware while maintaining an active network is difficult and takes more time than deploying new wireless hardware.
PROJECT BUDGET Year Actual 2022 Projected 2023 Budgeted 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 TOTAL

FUNDING SOURCES Technology Management Fund Revenue
IMPACT ON OPERATING COSTS We expect the projects to pay for themselves through productivity gains. The wireless project will enable townwide wireless connectivity to Town resources like the Group and Private shares, Laserfiche, and many more. The network hardware replacement will limit downtime and the additional throughput will increase productivity and allow support of more systems. Having manufacturer-supported hardware will guarantee the minimal amount of network downtime possible.
IMPACT ON OTHER DEPARTMENTS These projects will have a positive impact on other departments. Network downtime will be minimized, more systems can be supported, and productivity will increase.
TOWN STRATEGIC GOALS ACHIEVED Innovate with Collaborative Governance One of the key aspects to collaboration and governance is communication. Most modern communication, or indeed governance tools, requires the proper networking infrastructure to be usable. A townwide enterprise wireless network is a requirement for collaboration tools to function effectively. Town of Parker 2024 Annual Budget
