City of Anaheim Page 1 June 2014 Budgeted Costs for Core Services by Neighborhood – FY 2014/15 Adopted Budget For the Fiscal Year 2013/14 Adopted Budget, the City of Anaheim Finance department prepared a report for the Budgeted Costs for Core Services by Neighborhood based on a high-level analysis to determine how much of the General Fund’s budget is allocated to each neighborhood. This document provides updated amounts for the FY 2014/15 Adopted Budget based on the same approach and basis for analysis as used in the previous report. For further details on the basis of analysis please view the original report at: http://www.anaheim.net/images/articles/467/Budgeted_Costs_for_Core_Services_by_Neighborho od_July_2013.pdf. Neighborhood Boundaries West West of Euclid St., I-5 freeway, and Brookhurst St. Central West of Rio Vista St., north of Ball Rd. and east of Euclid St., the I-5 freeway and Brookhurst St. South South of Ball Rd. and east of Euclid St. East East of Rio Vista St. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Anaheim Page 2 Summary of Results Since the City budget is not tracked by geographic area, measurable and relevant data was used to best estimate the proportional costs by neighborhood. The analysis looked at taxpayer supported costs, excluding the Anaheim Resort (Resort), which is referred to as Net Cost. The Resort was excluded because it distorted service levels to the South neighborhood and previous analysis indicated that the Resort supported itself and then contributed to the rest of the City. Each of the neighborhoods has very different population and size characteristics; therefore, the analysis includes information about total dollars allocated, the amount per capita and amount per square mile. The following table illustrates the summary results of the analysis. Base Data Description West Central South East Citywide Net Cost $ (in Millions) $63.8 $84.6 $24.0 $41.1 $213.5 Population 99,671 126,627 36,979 68,795 332,072 Square Miles 8.9 11.5 4.6 24.1 49.1 Proportions 1 Description West Central South East Citywide Net Cost $ 30% 40% 11% 19% 100% Population 30% 38% 11% 21% 100% Square Miles 18% 24% 9% 49% 100% Average Costs Description West Central South East Citywide Per Capita $640 $668 $583 $598 $635 Per Square Mile $7,177,840 $7,357,803 $5,168,893 $1,708,617 $4,201,002 The final section of this report also includes information about the rehabilitation or construction of Community Amenities, otherwise known as the capital program, to better put into perspective all the resources invested in each neighborhood 1 Percentages rounded to nearest whole number for simplicity. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Anaheim Page 3 Costs by Neighborhood Each department’s Net Cost total was allocated to the neighborhoods, resulting in the amounts displayed below. The analysis shows the highest Net Cost in the Central neighborhood at $84.6M, or 40% of the overall Net Cost. The lowest is for the South at $24.0M, or 11% of the overall Net Cost. Total Net Cost by Neighborhood Per Capita Net Cost by Neighborhood The Per Capita Net Costs represent the cost in relation to the population count for each neighborhood. The highest Per Capita Net Cost is found in the Central neighborhood at $668, the lowest in the South at $583. Citywide across all neighborhoods, the Per Capita Net Cost is $635. Population 99,671 126,627 36,979 68,795 Budget (In Millions) $63.8 $84.6 $24.0 $41.1 West Central South East Budget (in millions) $63.8 $84.6 $24.0 $41.1 30% 40% 11% 19% $0.0 $20.0 $40.0 $60.0 $80.0 $100.0 Net Cost (in Millions $640 $668 $583 $598 $0 $200 $400 $600 $800 $1,000 West Central South East Per Capita Net Cost Citywide Per Capita Net Cost $635 ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Anaheim Page 4 Per Square Mile Net Cost by Neighborhood The Per Square Mile Net Costs represent the cost in relation to each square mile for each neighborhood. The Central neighborhood has the highest Per Square Mile Net Cost at approximately $7.4 million. The lowest is in the East at $1.7 million. Citywide across all neighborhoods, the Per Square Mile Net Cost is $4.2 million. Sq.

As illustrated below, proportion of Net Cost for each neighborhood closely follows the proportion of Population. It should be noted that while the East neighborhood has the largest area, its cost is still in line with the per capita costs throughout the City. West Central South East % Net Cost 30% 40% 11% 19% % Population 30% 38% 11% 21% % Square Miles 18% 24% 9% 49% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Anaheim Page 6 Capital Improvement Projects by Neighborhood The preceding analysis focused on operating costs of the General Fund which are primarily made up of personnel costs to support ongoing programs and day to day operations of the City. This section provides further information about the investment of resources in Community Amenities. These investments in capital improvements are typically one-time costs for construction or rehabilitation of amenities, and in general are funded by restricted grants and developer fees. Although these are not General Fund expenditures, the inclusion of this information is appropriate to better put into perspective all the resources invested in each neighborhood. The City’s future plans for investments to Community Amenities are illustrated in the Capital Improvement Program of the City’s FY 2014/15 Adopted Budget. The following is a summary of the investments anticipated over the next five years in the City’s Community Amenities by neighborhood: Description West Central South East Citywide Total $ in Millions $1.4 $3.7 $15.9 $3.3 $24.3 Per Capita $14 $29 $387 $48 $72 Per Square Mile $157,390 $321,205 $2,515,729 $137,116 $479,125 The table above shows a significantly higher amount in the South, which benefits substantially from Platinum Triangle Fees that generate funds restricted to the development and improvement of community amenities within that specific neighborhood. Planned construction in the south includes a new community center, gym, and pocket park.
