Alternative Expenditure Limitation
Home Rule Option
April 4, 2018

Expenditure Limitation History
In 1980, voters approved a constitutional amendment to limit the level of local government spending
Sections 20 and 21 added to Article IX of the Arizona Constitution and A.R.S. Section 41-1279.07 adopted to limit local government spending
Limit applies to expenditures only
Does not limit revenues or capacity to collect revenues
Going through by area to touch on some of our larger, notable projects –
In the area of general government:
-Largest project is the Police evidence facility & southern substation bldg - $2.6 million for 17/18 – this is the property we acquired last year to replace a rented substation space
and the property will be expanded in order to also provide for an evidence facility. The budget in the CIP Fund is a little over $2.1M which consists of a $600K transfer from the Gen
Fund plus rollover from the current fiscal year of about $1.5M. As mentioned earlier, we also have an addl $485K budgeted in the Police Impact Fee Fund for FY 17/18. Also note that
in FY 18/19 we have an additional $600K planned from the General Fund to complete this project
-Two addl, multi-use sport fields at Naranja Park at a little over $1M; they will be lit; second year of two-year project w/a total budget of almost $1.3M – you can see the breakdown
of the funding sources here, majority funded by P&R impact fees and the Gen Fund and then $100K from the Bed Tax Fund
-3rd and final purchase pmt for the Community Center - $350K – total purchase price $1M
-We also have $200K pegged for a remodel and new seating for the Magistrate Court – the courtroom seating is in disrepair and the remodel would address space and access issues, as well
as technology limitations
20
Formula-based calculation:
What is the State-Imposed Limitation?
Fiscal Year 1979-80 Base Limit x
Estimate by State for Oro Valley = $272,317
Population Growth Factor x
Provided by AZ Dept. of Administration
OV 1978 Population = 1,475
Inflation Factor
Provided by AZ Dept. of Revenue
Moving on to the Highway Fund:
-bulk of the CIP budget in this fund is for our Pavement Preservation Program @ about $1.5M
-Tangerine Access to Safeway @ 1st Ave - $250,000 – this is a rollover from the current fiscal year, or rather a couple of years. As we can recall, on April 5, Council passed a resolution
to take over Tangerine right-of-way from ADOT at Oracle to just past 1st Avenue, which will allow the Town to make decisions regarding access issues, and so this project will move forward
in FY 17/18 after a couple years of delays
Community Center:
-finish up our bond-funded energy efficiency project – rollover amount in the recommended budget was about $450,000 – as mentioned earlier, we are revising this amount for the tentative
budget, slight increase to $700K – and as a reminder, the debt service on the bonds for this project will be paid with guaranteed utility savings
-tennis court improvements - $75K for crack repair, resurfacing and repainting – budgeted in the bed tax fund
-continue our cart path improvements – budget of $50K
21
Exclusions to the Limitation
Constitutional exceptions to the limitation
Expenditure types
Revenue sources
Examples
Debt service payments
Grants and aid from the federal government
HURF revenues in excess of those received in FY 1979-80
Roadway Widening Projects – we have three major roadway projects in progress – the majority of the funding is provided by PAG or the RTA.
Widening of Lambert Lane, from La Cañada to Rancho Sonora – $4.6 million for FY 17/18, which includes $1M funded with Town roadway impact fees
Widening of La Cholla Boulevard, from Overton to Tangerine – about $1.9M next year for design and ROW acquisitions – utility relocation construction will also begin in FY 17/18 and then
roadway construction to follow
Widening of Tangerine Road, from La Cañada to Shannon – $1.7M – as a reminder we contributed $1M of our Town roadway impact fees in the current fiscal year towards this project
22
Estimated State-Imposed Limitation
Other notable roadway projects:
-traffic light on La Cañada at the Community Center - $500K project funded by the RTA
-Naranja Drive – construction of a two-way left turn lane at Naranja Park to provide a dedicated turn lane there and avoid traffic backup – funded with our roadway impact fees
-Palisades Road multi-use path - $284K – construction of a shared use path on the north side of the street, from 1st Avenue east to Cassiopeia Drive
Stormwater Projects:
-Cañada Hills estates channel repair project - $80K – demolition and reconstruction of a channel that’s showing evidence of structural failure, will prevent future potentially catastrophic
failure that would come at a much higher cost
-Lambert Lane culvert extension - $50K - extend an existing culvert in coordination with the Lambert Lane roadway widening project
23
How do we compare?
Moving on to the Water Utility – $1.1 million to complete three main relocations in coordination with our roadway widening projects
-Lambert Lane $200,000 rollover to complete
-Tangerine Road (reclaimed main) - $200,000 rollover to complete
-La Cholla Boulevard - $700,000 – design is nearly complete on that
Well replacements and upgrades –
-We will begin the process to construct two new replacement wells – one at Steam Pump Ranch, the other at Nakoma Sky - $700K for drilling at Steam Pump Ranch and $40K for site grading
at Nakoma Sky
-Well E2 upgrade - $250K – rollover from current year plus additional funding for expanded project scope to include some needed additional facility redesign (security, technology, etc)
Wheeling of CAP water through Tucson Water system – $100K – design and install new pressure reducing valve station that will allow wheeling of an additional 150 acre feet of CAP water
24
Consequences of State-Imposed Limitation
Budget would need to be cut to match State-imposed limitation
Revenue would continue to be earned at projected levels
Contingency reserves would grow while services would be severely reduced
Town would need to wait two (2) years to place Home Rule question on next regular election ballot
25
Alternative Expenditure Limitation (Home Rule Option)
In 1980, through the Constitutional amendment, voters allow local jurisdictions to adopt an alternative to the State-imposed limitation
Recognizes that state-imposed formula-based method does not factor in a jurisdiction’s service levels and revenue sources – one size does not fit all
Allows a city or town to adopt its own budget limits locally, based on local needs, service levels and available resources
Town has operated under the Home Rule Option for 36 consecutive years – voter approval received every 4 years since 1982
26
Alternative Expenditure Limitation (Home Rule Option)
Still under an expenditure limitation
Limitation is set annually with the adoption of the budget
Not formula-based
Allows for greater flexibility
Local control
Addresses priorities and needs unique to community
Budget is established and approved through a public process
Public study sessions
Publish budget prior to adoption
Hold public hearing on tentative budget
Hold public hearing on final budget and alternative expenditure limitation
Does not result in an increase or decrease in tax rates
Does not enable the Town to spend more than available resources

Future capacity: 32,000 trips/day
178
units
Two of the primary factors in the success of commercial centers is the population density in the area ADT of adjacent roadways.
In La Cholla corridor 3 future commercial areas (RED) & currently:
928 existing homes w/in ½-mile of La Cholla between Tangerine/Lambert
Approximately 960 additional homes planned/approved throughout corridor, including 791 on applications before the PZC tonight
Total +/- 1800 in entire corridor
Compare to La Canada/Lambert = 1,500 homes (1/2-mile)
Increase in traffic will help, but staff has concerns
Three commercial nodes
- Lambert & Tangerine: concerns but likely viable due to passing traffic #’s
- Naranja: serious questions about the viability of future commercial
