FY 2018-19 and 2019-20 Adopted Operating and CIP Budget

• Using the savings from the Monterey Road Underpass Enhancement, included $10,000 for the South Valley Civic Theater to allow for scholarships for participation by all (one-time) and up to $25,000 for the Grange for the installation of a HVAC system (one-time). In exchange, the Grange has agreed to offer the City use of the facility and extend the term of the existing agreement for use of the Grange parking lot.

Capital Improvement Program • Reduced FY 18-19 gas tax revenues by $151,817 for recently received estimates

The budget documents are the product of many teammates working in a collaborative manner to align resources and service level enhancements that are consistent with the City Council’s and community’s priorities, while continuing to maintain fiscal responsibility. In implementing the Council’s budget, our team strives to advance our organizational values of teamwork, customer service, innovation, meeting challenges, and professional development. I want to acknowledge and thank all of them for their efforts to improve the community we serve. It is an honor to work with such a dedicated, community-focused team of professionals. The FY 18-19 and 19-20 Adopted Budgets represent the continued commitment of the City Council and all City teammates to preserve and improve the unique qualities of Morgan Hill. The budget provides guidance by which we move forward to enhance services and ensure long-term fiscal sustainability. As we continue to work on key initiatives, there are many signs that the Morgan Hill community will thrive. At the same time, the Council and community must continue to find ways to ensure that the community’s quality of life priorities are sustained so Morgan Hill remains a highly desirable place to live, work, play, and do business.

Sincerely,

Christina Turner City Manager
