The presentation matters because the housing and human‑services programs are safety‑net services paid with a mix of federal grants, county partnerships and local funds; any federal funding change or local budget decision would have direct effects on vulnerable residents.

Peters said the department’s total operating budget is about $33.7 million, with roughly $15.3 million in personnel services. Key cost drivers include personnel, increasing costs for library materials and e‑resources, and higher housing rehabilitation and rental market costs that affect rental‑assistance programs.

She described several HUD‑related programs managed by the city’s Housing and Community Assistance Office: the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program (formerly Section 8), which subsidizes rent for eligible households with monthly housing assistance payments to landlords; HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds used for tenant‑based rental assistance for seniors and for housing rehabilitation work; and CDBG‑funded rehabilitation and emergency repair activities. Peters noted the city administers a tenant‑based rental assistance program for seniors and that the department manages a range of rehab and code‑related emergency repair programs for qualifying households.

Peters said the HCV program currently assists about 531 households in Scottsdale. She also described nonfederal local programs such as Operation Fix It (home maintenance and ordinance‑compliance assistance) and the Vista del Camino social services hub and food bank, which has seen recent expansion. Senior‑center attendance and public library usage numbers were offered to illustrate program scale: library programming exceeded 1,500 programs in FY 23‑24, physical material circulation is more than one million items annually, and senior‑center attendance was about 36,000 for the year.

On staffing, Peters requested one reclassification of a vacant administrative position to a grant accountant to manage complex HUD compliance and federal reporting, plus modest program funding to expand recreation programming at Vista del Camino. She said staff monitor federal appropriations — currently operating under a continuing resolution — and warned that larger changes at the federal level could affect services such as vouchers, but that plan‑B scenarios and contingency planning were being considered.

Commissioners thanked staff for the overview and asked about county partnerships; Peters said the department has a strong arrangement with Maricopa County on collection purchases and reciprocal library services and that several case‑worker positions tied to county funding carry fringe‑benefit costs in the city budget.

Peters said staff will return with additional detail where requested and reiterated that HUD allocations and federal appropriations remain subject to change.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Budget Review Commission - April 10, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Library and Human Services presented a $33.7 million operating budget and reviewed federally funded housing programs — including the Housing Choice Voucher program and HOME/CDBG‑funded rehabilitation — plus local senior and library services.","taxTitle","Scottsdale, Maricopa County, Arizona","taxId",2563,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6079769,"Tourism fund overview: bed tax distribution, Experience Scottsdale contract and new city destination marketing plans",1618,6349000,7967000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2954095-a279da434c1f24cb95101cf4035dbf90&start=6349&end=7967","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2954095-a279da434c1f24cb95101cf4035dbf90/thumbnail_6349000.jpg","/articles/6079769/Scottsdale/Maricopa-County/Arizona/Tourism-fund-overview-bed-tax-distribution-Experience-Scottsdale-contract-and-new-city-destination-marketing-plans","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6079769-5fab611a220219aeb951c045b761cd0a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172770&Signature=X37b0IA580dQB5-eldiPttzb70x1eEjbMEqt7aOeBGhAL2hAbCNxxqJMt7mj6gAyd87dKWUj6MWcMccpZrykGxI-vodcCHpO3WUD2VL7FrV8uhSx9Y-qCZM~-qz3dT0N2YYcaNQ4Fs0dVXEKMkX1t5rzkAWiobtE4bsKSaGq4zYblvnK3tU5HWzO~H5vKa1TsDIJrVlWEop06acn~b4VwNko34d45OplZYi3j4h4f~iqG2DlQXRk6lvSRvnmh9cN0jqTH7n~BxrddgIVFZ8m1CFsdqmwBzo16n3qcGpXEfk9HasuWHhSV2V9Bs1VDgBiYiHSuQ1ZPylize6IBTd7Mw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Scott [last name not specified], finance staff, and Rachel Smetana, tourism and events director, presented the proposed FY 2025‑26 Tourism Development Fund budget and described how bed tax revenue is allocated and spent.

The Tourism Development Fund is governed by a voter‑approved change (Prop 200) that raised the transient occupancy (bed) tax to 5 percent and dedicates half of the increase to destination marketing; the other half may be used for tourism events, research, capital projects and related uses. Staff said the fund is projected to receive about $38.8 million in the current forecast, up from original adopted estimates due to stronger bed‑tax receipts.

Staff described the allocation structure: 50 percent of the bed tax goes to destination marketing, of which 45 percentage points (of the total bed‑tax pie) are typically directed to Experience Scottsdale under the city’s long‑term contract, and 5 percentage points are retained by the city for direct destination marketing work. Scott noted that destination marketing historically produces measurable room‑night and tax revenue impact; staff and Experience Scottsdale provide quarterly reporting and annual business plans that are reviewed as part of the contract oversight.

Rachel Smetana said the city’s 5 percent destination marketing allocation (the city’s portion) is being rethought for greater local impact. She said the city will conduct public outreach, focus groups and coordinate with WestWorld strategic planning before finalizing how the 5 percent will be spent. \"There’s a lot of oversight,\" she said, noting Experience Scottsdale provides an annual business plan and performance standards and that the city receives quarterly reports.

Other fund components discussed included: an automatic 12 percent transfer to the general fund to offset increased public‑safety and maintenance costs associated with tourism (staff projected roughly $4 million under that transfer), event funding programs and debt service for tourism‑related capital projects. Staff also noted a multi‑year commitment to the Museum of the West (a $250,000 operating commitment plus matching funds and a proposed $600,000 capital refresh spread across two years). Rachel emphasized that the tourism fund now has fewer obligations to pay for park rangers and some maintenance because Prop 4.90 had reallocated some related duties.

Commissioners asked about the Experience Scottsdale contract, local oversight of events and whether Scottsdale receives a fair return on the contract. Staff said Experience Scottsdale’s work focuses on bookings, meetings and conventions as well as broader destination marketing and that the nonprofit receives roughly 70 percent of its operating revenue from Scottsdale bed‑tax funds (staff provided an Experience Scottsdale financial participation agreement and performance metrics in the packet). Staff and commissioners agreed to follow up with more detailed performance and program information in future commission briefings.

Staff recommended continued oversight and said they will return with refined plans for the city’s 5 percent destination marketing allocation after public outreach and internal planning.","Staff reviewed the Tourism Development Fund (bed tax) structure, Experience Scottsdale’s contract and city plans for a new 5 percent destination‑marketing allocation.

The presentation is consequential because the preserve fund carries substantial debt tied to prior land purchases and the fund’s revenue flow and planned transfers determine whether the city can both service that debt and fund new improvements over the five‑year plan.

City Treasurer Sonya Andrews summarized the fund’s revenue and debt position. She said the newly adopted 0.15 percent parks and preserve sales tax projects roughly $25 million in year‑one collections, and that the existing preserve land debt has a principal outstanding of about $149.4 million at June 30 and total remaining interest and principal through 2034 of roughly $164.3 million. The treasurer said the preserve fund was projected to have a fund balance of about $159.8 million at the end of the current fiscal year and that staff’s budget assumes the authority to call or defease debt at the earliest allowable date (fiscal year 2027‑28) as the plan allows.

Croix (presenting preserve capital projects) walked through a proposed $65 million, five‑year preserve capital program that covers completion work and upgrades at older trailheads (Lost Dog Wash, Gateway, Sunrise), parking and surface hardening projects, completion work at Tom’s Thumb and Frazee Field, safety fencing and trail repairs, and a large line item for the Rio Verde Drive wildlife crossing. Croix emphasized that older trailheads built before the last design‑standard updates lack some modern amenities such as shade and storage for volunteer needs and that many items are completion or hardening work rather than expansion.

Commissioners and staff discussed how the preserve charter language constrains what preserve funds may be used for. The city attorney noted the charter provisions that limit spending on preserved lands, the construction of new trails as depicted in approved trailhead plans, and maintenance for trailheads completed or under construction prior to the charter’s effective date. That provision was described as relevant to which trailhead improvements can be funded from preserve funds versus other sources.

Treasurer Andrews reiterated that the budget shows proposed transfers: both planned capital transfers for preserve projects and a proposed transfer for debt service used to service prior preserve‑land debt. She said the budget shows the five‑year plan contemplates paying down debt in 2027‑28 (or defeasing it in substance) as allowed by bond covenants and the make‑whole call provisions of outstanding debt.

Questions from commissioners probed fund balance timing, interest earnings and the mechanics by which the city can retire or escrow the bonds before their earliest call date; staff said these legal and technical details will be the subject of confidential legal advice to council where appropriate, but they stressed that the proposed five‑year plan anticipates carryforwards and deliberate phasing of capital work to match revenue and debt‑service obligations.

Staff committed to producing fund‑specific pages (already in the proposed budget book) and an annual treasurer’s report that will show collections and expenditures for the preserve fund, so council and the public can track how Prop 0.15 revenues are moved to separate funds and spent.","Treasure and preserve staff reviewed the McDowell Sonoran Preserve fund plan: projected Prop 0.15 revenues, existing debt tied to preserve land purchases, a multi‑year capital program with a large placeholder for the Rio Verde item, and legal constraints from the charter that guide allowable preserve expenditures.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6079779,"Commissionersback proposal for feasibility study on Rio Verde wildlife crossing; $250,000 suggested as placeholder",862,3470000,4332000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2954095-a279da434c1f24cb95101cf4035dbf90&start=3470&end=4332","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2954095-a279da434c1f24cb95101cf4035dbf90/thumbnail_3470000.jpg","/articles/6079779/Scottsdale/Maricopa-County/Arizona/Commissionersback-proposal-for-feasibility-study-on-Rio-Verde-wildlife-crossing-250000-suggested-as-placeholder","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6079779-83db0260a8744753449ba183b34763f9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172770&Signature=C9k0~-1b8E31Kkdm1X0e7oth28utUeSvGh8rc4U1xDPYBsiNQkQzkdDJGsLtqisHAEvLmOHx~TQ6jVVC3PY1x9gT2EZUdfrcbH98XsYUJvHyobgqs2MQqcnY~I~sg2rlRIhLr8TzpapoWza2DjsejK12NIUrHpHwaZNaggphYow-CLN0p5~p9LzL2dGEFa6HTwzP~aDvobOhDzkKeeXaIMx7nJZw2uW3rZGXrwIpk~v46k2m0SAEulqyy4xTmVyRFy-gUKsD1zkfWIwkix4LjiaKPPDfR1nj9zP841IEbSb9pEoN07tekj2lj9~2gz25EvPTUldeKtsuO1F~MAT6HA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A subcommittee of the Budget Review Commission recommended funding a feasibility study — roughly $250,000 was discussed as a placeholder amount — to scope options for a proposed Rio Verde Drive wildlife crossing rather than proceeding immediately with the large capital estimate currently in the capital plan.

The nut of the issue is that the capital plan contains a placeholder cost estimate for a crossing that some staff materials show as about $35 million; commissioners and staff said that number reflects an unusually wide, 200‑foot concept used in an early cost estimate and may overstate Scottsdale’s likely needs. Commissioners urged a measured, data‑driven study of alternatives including narrower overpasses, underpasses, and timing the crossing with any future roadway widening.

Eric Filsinger, who identified himself as a longtime preserve volunteer and former Preserve Commission member, urged caution and asked whether the available data shows a strong need. “Most of my observations of the wildlife…they move east and west in the washes through that whole section that we call the Gooseneck,” Filsinger said in public comment, and he questioned whether the available roadkill and wildlife‑track data demonstrate a compelling safety or habitat‑connectivity problem at Rio Verde Drive.

Commissioner Brad Newman (subcommittee lead) summarized staff and subcommittee findings: there is disagreement about need and scope, traffic volumes cited in the materials ranged from roughly 5,000 to 9,000 vehicles per day, and existing Arizona Game and Fish data show most tracked movement is east‑west along washes rather than north‑south across Rio Verde. Newman said the recommended next step is a feasibility and data collection study to establish whether a crossing is needed now, what type of structure would be appropriate and where to place it, and whether a future roadway widening would provide economies of scale for construction.

Newman explained the subcommittee’s position: “The proposal is to move approximately $250,000 from the budget to spend that on a feasibility study,” and that the $35 million line in the capital plan reflects a high‑end, 200‑foot‑wide bridge concept that is likely excessive for Scottsdale’s urban setting.

Commissioners and staff also discussed implementation issues: whether fencing and animal guidance will be required for miles beyond the crossing, property‑owner and right‑of‑way issues east of Scottsdale city limits, and the merits of underpasses used elsewhere in the city. No formal vote on construction or on the feasibility appropriation was recorded; commissioners said a technical study would be returned to the commission and council for consideration in the next budget cycle.

Next steps identified in the discussion include directing staff to scope a feasibility study, assemble current wildlife and roadway data, and return with a cost‑and‑scope recommendation in time for the next budget decision cycle.","After a public comment from long‑time preserve volunteer Eric Filsinger and a subcommittee presentation, commissioners recommended a feasibility study to test options for a wildlife crossing at Rio Verde Drive rather than funding a large design immediately.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6079784,"Parks and Preserve leaders outline operating budgets, staffing and how Prop 4.90 proceeds will be spent",2942,491000,3433000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2954095-a279da434c1f24cb95101cf4035dbf90&start=491&end=3433","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2954095-a279da434c1f24cb95101cf4035dbf90/thumbnail_491000.jpg","/articles/6079784/Scottsdale/Maricopa-County/Arizona/Parks-and-Preserve-leaders-outline-operating-budgets-staffing-and-how-Prop-490-proceeds-will-be-spent","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6079784-795064ff1e5af5ec7ce7ccab90e3c209/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172770&Signature=c3oe3lJe82o8ZJXkAJGMxO2UeqAFBNSwmTNpWxUU3SWLfGB5lARg6jHO2wAQVkJdoe8Jh9T4K0b45epxZFRvISI90yjgW7h96nSRJ4qmVz7Q2MrzDhjxrgumbcVrSsMhip7uEK9~9OB4d~9x6EmRtKpjj6g8dKrSxKm~oUx8plFbSVO93SXNYd9fr0Z0tgQ3UZGfMejEgJ7RuETUgRh2iZV358qyYJYF2wrkoxmXQ3YJbpXcvDzBIcshm~hk-Vf6uxaUzkmZD3q80GlrSTnQNbThlxW137fFZma4zSHGAe9j~ATq8K~OAOTtD~aQ~BqGwIbNZGJ6inSBb9-8yeMWPw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Nick Molinari, senior director for the Parks, Recreation and Preserve Department, presented high-level operating budgets for the department’s Parks & Recreation and Preserve divisions and explained how the new parks-and-preserve sales tax adopted as Proposition 4.90 shaped the requests.

The presentation matters because the council will use the commission’s recommendations to finalize the city’s budget and because Prop 4.90 revenue is earmarked by voters for specific categories — improvements, preserve maintenance, park maintenance, rangers and other set uses — that constrain spending decisions.

Mol inari said the combined department accounts for about 249 full‑time equivalent positions and gave the following FY 2025‑26 operating totals for the department as a whole: personnel services roughly $19.1 million, contractual services about $14.4 million, commodities $3.4 million and capital outlay about $500,000. He said the Parks & Recreation division alone accounts for roughly 239.47 FTEs and roughly $18.1 million in personnel services and $12.3 million in contractual services.

On the new sales tax, Molinari said the anticipated first‑year revenue is about $25.2 million and that the tax is allocated by ordinance so staff built requests to fit the required buckets: approximately 51 percent for park improvements (capital and non‑capital items), 18 percent for preserve maintenance and 14 percent for park maintenance, with smaller set shares for rangers and mitigation. Molinari said the 51 percent “improvements” bucket includes both master planning and some noncapital park amenities placed in the operating budget where allowed by the ordinance.

Commissioners asked specific questions about cost drivers, including contracted landscape maintenance, tree care and storm damage. Molinari said the department is steward for roughly 30,000 public trees and that contracted tree care and storm cleanup are major year‑to‑year cost drivers. He described a conservative approach for year 1 of the tax: “we are recommending a spending limit, an expense limit. So we’re anticipating that the costs are gonna be at or below these costs,” and that if projects cannot be completed in year 1 they will be carried forward to later years.

Mol inari identified several near‑term operating requests tied to the tax and the department’s master plan: bringing on a principal planner and an urban forester, funding design and planning for Agua Linda, Paiute, Chaparral, Vista Del Camino and El Dorado parks, $450,000 in landscape improvements identified for Chaparral, $200,000 for park cameras, and multi‑year capital allocations (roughly $11 million in year 3 and $13 million in year 5 for major park improvements). He said the year‑1 strategy will rely heavily on contractors to quickly address unmet maintenance needs while staff plan where permanent FTEs and equipment should be located. In year 1 the department plans to phase in four of the 17 positions identified in the master plan rather than hire them all at once.

Mol inari also gave line‑item figures the commission asked for: an overtime budget of $158,024.25 (parks overtime historically trends over budget due to storms and vacancies), an 11 percent increase (about $520,000) for the medians and rights‑of‑way maintenance contract, and roughly 459 acres of green space mowed plus nearly 800 acres of medians and rights‑of‑way maintained by the department.

Commissioners and staff confirmed how Prop 4.90 proceeds will be tracked in separate funds and reported annually: Sonya Andrews, city treasurer, said the ordinance requires the treasurer to report yearly how the funds are expended and that the proposed budget book includes separate fund pages showing planned operating and capital spending by allocation.

The presentation closed with commissioners emphasizing the need to be deliberate about the pace of hiring and the mix of contracted versus in‑house work to manage costs and deliver voter‑promised service levels.

Looking ahead, staff will continue detailed budgeting and return with more granular capital and operating line items as part of the city’s proposed budget and the commission’s review cycle.","Parks and Recreation and McDowell Sonoran Preserve staff presented the operating budgets, explained major cost drivers and detailed how the voter-approved 0.15% parks and preserve sales tax (Prop 4.90) would be allocated across maintenance, improvements and program needs.","actionData","errors"]
