GENERAL FUND
The General Fund consists of all the departments that are primarily supported through tax
revenues and provide services for the benefit of City of Bisbee Residents such as Public Safety, the
Library, City Parks, and the Public Pool. Additional income of the general fund comes from licenses
& permits, charges for services, miscellaneous other income, and contributions and transfers.
Transfers are the allocation of the costs of general services departments (City Manager, Finance,
City Clerk, Admin & General Government, Personnel, Legal, Information Systems, Building
Maintenance, and Garage) to all departments and funds that benefit from these services. Costs
are allocated based on each department’s use of these services.
Most of the General Fund revenue comes from taxes to include the “Intergovernmental” amount
which is State Shared Income Tax revenue. Charges for services and transfers in from other funds
make up most of the remainder.

Ideally revenue increases over time to keep up with increasing operational costs:
 The Sales Tax revenue has been increasing since FY18. The expected decrease in FY26
is the result of allocating more tax revenue to streets this fiscal year for some needed
infrastructure repairs. That increase in Streets revenue can be viewed on page 70.
 Charges for Services revenue has seen only slight increases or decreases in revenue
over the last five years. The main source of revenue in this category is Ambulance fees
which accounts for over half of this revenue source.
 Intergovernmental revenue is the Income Tax allocated to municipalities throughout
Arizona. The revenue increase from FY22 – FY23 was a temporary increase provided by
the state to help ease the transition to the new 2.5% flat state income tax rate. Since
then, the revenue has fluctuated each year by less than $70,000.
 Miscellaneous Income is revenue that does not fit into the other revenue categories
such as interest income, grants, service reimbursements and auction revenue. Out of
ordinary events such as the City Hall Fire insurance reimbursement and grants during
the pandemic caused revenue spikes in FY18 and FY20.
 Licenses and Permits revenue has been increasing slightly each year. This graph reflects
a $238,000 increase over the past ten years.

The FY18 jump in fund balance was the insurance reimbursement for the City Hall Fire. In FY23
those funds were transferred to Capital Improvements to rebuild City Hall. In FY24 & FY25,
$800,000 was moved to debt service reserves for the PSPRS Bond, $500,000 was moved to Public
Safety Grants for a match on equipment and $500,000 was moved to Capital Improvements for
city hall. The Fund Balance Reserve Policy requires the City to maintain a balance of at least $1.4
million in the General Fund. Currently the fund balance is about $2.5 million.

Above is a breakdown of General Fund Expenditures by Service Type. As shown here, Public Safety
Police and Fire expenses account for 61% of the General Fund’s cost. About 25% of this can be
attributed to the Public Safety Retirement System (PSPRS) expense, both current and payment
towards the bond debt used to pay down the PSPRS unfunded liability. Administration is made up
of several departments including Mayor & Council, City Manager, Finance, City Clerk,
Administration & General Government, Personnel, Legal Services, IT, City Magistrate and
Contingency. Cultural and Recreational departments include Parks, Pool, Library and Senior
Center. Public works departments include the Water Systems (fire suppression), Cemetery,
Building Maintenance, Public Works Administration, and the Garage. Community Development is
made up of the Building Inspectors, City Planners, and funding for the City’s Animal Shelter.

The Police and Fire PSPRS expense has fluctuated over the years caused by staffing changes and
the volatility of the PSPRS unfunded contribution rates but overall, this expense has continued to
rise. The City paid off the PSPRS unfunded liability through a bond in FY2022. This is expected to
stabilize the contribution rate, and the bond payments are scheduled for the next 24 years. In FY23
through FY27 the payments increase each year then in FY28 the annual payment is $1.6 million
and stays in that range through the remainder of the bond. This is anticipated to moderate these
extreme fluctuations.
A steady rise in ASRS expense would be expected each year with cost of living and other salary
increases but expenses stayed flat or sometimes dropped each year due to the environment at
the time that did not allow regular pay increases and often saw staffing decreases due to attrition
or other reductions. Since FY24 there have been some new positions created and some positions
filled that were vacant for years. There has also been regular cost of living increases which has
increased the ASRS expense.

WATER SYSTEMS
This department is better known as the Old Bisbee Fire Suppression System. It consists of a large
reservoir which gravity feeds water to the distribution and fire hydrant system in Old Bisbee and
a pump house that feeds water to the reservoir from a well located in the Mule Gulch Channel.
Upper Tombstone/West Boulevard are served by separate pumps which boost the pressure to
assure ample firefighting water supply and pressure. Maintenance of this system is handled by
Public Works. The expenditures of this department include expenses attendant to the system,
and do not include personnel costs.
A grant was awarded from DEMA to fund the engineering required to replace the current Old
Bisbee Fire Suppression System with water supplied by Arizona Water Company’s water system.
The City has applied for multiple additional grants to fund construction of this system but has so
far been unsuccessful. Additional grants have been sought to fund new fire hydrants throughout
Old Bisbee. If these grants are successful and once the projects are complete, this department
will no longer be needed.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
The Fire Department is headed by the Fire Chief, who reports to the City Manager. The Fire
Department has five basic functional responsibilities:
 Fire Suppression: includes residential, automobile, and urban/wildland interface fires.
Bisbee Fire Department practices fast attack firefighting to minimize the risk to life,
property, and the environment.
 Emergency Medical Services: are provided twenty-four hours a day by advanced life
support personnel. Requests for medical aid constitute the majority of calls answered by
the Fire Department. Fire Department paramedics and EMT’s respond to most medical
calls within three minutes.
 Fire Prevention: is responsible for hazard abatement enforcement, approval of building
plans, public education, environmental protection, and fire safety inspections. The small
number of structure fires fought annually in the City is an indication of the prevention
bureau’s efficacy.
 Training: of the Fire Department personnel is conducted in accordance with county, state,
and federal standards. Firefighters, EMT’s and paramedics receive updates on advances
in technology, and participate in continuing education. To control costs, training is
conducted in- house whenever possible.
 Transfers: inter-facility transfer of patients to the hospital in Sierra Vista and other Cochise
County area hospitals.

CITY MAGISTRATE
The City Magistrate’s Office was combined with the Justice Court in 2006. This budget provides
funds for the Magistrate Judge along with administrative services provided by the County.
Beginning in January 2023 the City Magistrate is paid through the City’s payroll system, rather
than as a contract employee. This enables the City to collect/submit the payroll taxes on behalf
of the Magistrate and was at the request of the Magistrate under the latest contract. The county
has been revising how court costs are allocated to municipalities, which accounts for the large
increase in fees. Fees have more than doubled over the last 6 years.

SWIMMING POOL
The Bisbee Municipal Swimming Pool is a long-standing feature of Bisbee recreation. The City of
Bisbee was awarded a grant for $47,000 from Arizona State Parks in 1967 to build the pool for
the youth of Bisbee. Total project cost was $95,000 and was completed in 1969. It included a
large pool with a diving board, a baby pool, and a building for changing rooms. Since then, a
Ramada with picnic tables was added, the original diving board was removed, and the changing
rooms have been restructured. Major repairs have been made to bring the pool into compliance
with the ADA. A large donation was made in Fiscal Year 2017 to repair the baby pool,
improvements were made to the grounds, and new furniture was purchased for around the
pool. In Fiscal Year 2022 the pool deck was repaired with the assistance of the ARPA grant. In
Fiscal Year 2023 the Pool was shut down for major repairs to the pumping and electrical system
as well as structural cracking in the pool floor and walls. These repairs were completed for the
Fiscal Year 2024-25 pool season. Additional repairs to the plumbing costing around $77,000 are
needed and the city is seeking grants and donations for these repairs. The pool typically opens
Memorial Day weekend and closes when school resumes; however, with the help of donations
and warm weather conditions the pool season may be extended.
The Pool is budgeted for ten part-time seasonal lifeguard positions including one full-time
pool manager.

CONTINGENCY
The Contingency account provides a place to budget for opportunities, unexpected expenses,
and emergencies. The large expense in FY18 was the City Hall fire and the large expense in FY24
was the Main St. fire. Most years the contingency fund goes largely unused. The FY26 year-end
estimate includes the possibility of running out of ADOT funding on the bus and having to cover
the full cost of the bus until the next ADOT fiscal year which starts in September.

GOVERNMENT GRANTS
The Government Grants Fund accounts for federal and state grants for improvements
throughout the City. Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) are received regularly and
are recorded here. CDBG funds are federal entitlement dollars that are awarded to cities and
towns in every state. Funds are for various community development programs such as repairing
or creating infrastructure or improving housing among many possible uses. Most recently the
City was awarded $515,000 in CBDG funds for improvements at the Senior Center.
Two grants to fund the Bisbee Bikeways have been awarded and are in the construction planning
phase. These are the Bisbee Bikeways Grant from the Economic Development Administration
(EDA) for $4,500,000 and another $4,000,000 has been awarded by the Department of
Transportation.
Other grants that are in the works include a grant for a feasibility study of the Community
Connections Shared-use Path connecting areas around the city, a grant to repair Commerce
Street and a grant for repairs to the Moon Canyon Bridge.
Several other grants in various stages from grant writing to awaiting award notification.

PUBLIC SAFETY
FIRE GRANTS
The Public Safety – Fire Grants Fund is used to account for public safety grants awarded to the
Fire Department. Each year FEMA awards grants to eligible communities for the purchase of
vehicles and equipment to enhance homeland security. In the past this funding has enabled the
City to purchase a fire engine and an ambulance. More recently the Fire Department was
awarded a $365,000 grant to replace the Fire Department’s Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus
(SCBA) equipment. And a micro grant through FEMA in the amount of $52,000 was awarded in
FY23 to purchase firefighting hoses and wildland personal protective equipment.
The Fire Department recently received a congressional award through the state for $620,000
towards a new fire truck with a $209,980 grant match. The city is also awaiting award
notification on a grant from DEMA for a Fire Station Generator .

TRANSPORTATION
GRANTS
The Transportation Grants fund accounts for grants from the FAA and ADOT for Airport runway
and facility improvements. FAA funding will resume after being suspended for over 10 years
due to the lack of a “Through the Fence” agreement with the FAA and nearby property owners.
Now that funding has been re-established an engineering firm will be employed to engineer
improvements for the Airport. Over $1.4 million in airport grants for various improvements
are anticipated in the near future.

CAMP NACO
Camp Naco is a touchstone for the history of the Buffalo Soldiers and the proud tradition of
Black military regiments after the Civil War. Constructed by the U.S. Army in 1919, these
adobe buildings are the only ones remaining from the 35 permanent camps built during that
time along the U.S. – Mexico border. After the camp was decommissioned in 1923, the site
passed through multiple owners and has suffered vandalism, exposure, erosion, and fire. The
City of Bisbee now owns Camp Naco and is working closely with the Naco Heritage Alliance,
Arizona’s State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), Buffalo Soldier organizations and other
partners to identify critical funding that will help restore the historic camp buildings and
revive them for community, tourism, and educational uses.
The Camp’s fragile adobe barracks and officers’ housing embody the story of the U.S.
Government’s early twentieth-century efforts to protect the Border, when the 9th and 10th
Cavalry and later the 24th and 25th Infantry, known as the “Buffalo Soldiers,” helped to
stabilize the U.S. – Mexico border area during the Mexican Revolution. Over the last decade,
growing recognition of the importance of the segregated African American military has
fostered interest in the site.
Primarily funded by two grants, $3.5 million from the Mellon Foundation and $4.6 million
from the Governor’s Office of Strategic Planning and Budgeting, Camp Naco will be restored
to its former glory and used for a variety of historical, cultural and art events.
In FY26 Camp Naco was awarded a $700,000 grant from the National Parks Service.
The Camp Naco project employs one full-time executive director, one full-time
project/construction manager, one full-time administrative assistant and part-time interns as
needed. The Executive Director position, Administrative Assistant position and internship
positions are now funded under a sub-grant to the NHA out of the Mellon Funds so are no
longer budgeted under city payroll costs for this grant.

TOURISM/VISITOR
CENTER
The Transient Room Tax (aka Bed Tax) is the primary revenue source used to promote tourism
in the City of Bisbee. This tax supports an official Arizona Office of Tourism designated Visitor
Center. The Visitor Center provides information about area attractions, recreational
opportunities, and hospitality amenities. As required by the Arizona Office of Tourism, the center
also provides a variety of printed literature.
The Visitor Center takes on all marketing efforts including press releases, website, social media
management, travel writers and participation in trade shows. The Visitor Center is also
responsible for maintaining the official tourism website www.discoverbisbee.com, the Discover
Bisbee Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts. The city is currently seeking a Destination
Marketing Organization (DMO) to take on most of the marketing duties.
The Visitor Center is budgeted for one full-time and one part-time Visitor Center employee.

STREETS
The Streets Fund provides for the operation and maintenance of streets, alleys, sidewalks, stairs,
drainage channels, retaining walls, right of ways, and street lighting throughout the City. The
main sources of funding for the Streets Fund are the Highway Urban Revenue Fund (HURF) which
is state shared revenue and the 1% sales tax adopted December 16th, 2014. HURF funds are
designated by the state to be used for all costs related to street maintenance and repair. The
purpose of the tax is for the maintenance, repair, replacement and improvement of the 42 miles
of City streets and related infrastructure. Aside from road paving and repair work performed by
the Streets Department employees, other responsibilities include repairing, replacing, or
installing traffic and pedestrian signage, controlling vegetation which may impede vehicular or
pedestrian traffic or the visibility of signs or markers, preparation and clean-up of all events
conducted in the City, and open/close of cemetery plots. The 1% tax renewed by the voters in
2022 will be shared with the General Fund. The council may choose to split these funds between
the General Fund and Streets in whatever percentage they choose, or direct the entire tax to
either department, depending on the needs each fiscal year. In FY26 it was decided to direct the
full amount to streets for some major infrastructure repairs. The Fund balance fluctuation is to
allow the balance to accumulate some years for major projects in future years.
The Streets Department consists of four full-time equipment operators.

RICO FUND
RICO funds are authorized by the Federal Government under the Racketeer Influenced and
Corrupt Organizations Act. Revenues come from the seizure of assets used in the commission of
crimes when the Bisbee Police Department is involved in the investigations.
These monies are maintained by the Cochise County Attorney’s Office and are transferred to
the City of Bisbee after the proper paperwork is submitted to the Cochise County Attorney for
approval of the expenditures. Monies are used during the year for a variety of items which
enhance and/or aid in Police duties and obligations. Items such as training, tires, computers,
emergency equipment, donations to youth activities, etc. are acceptable uses of these monies.

HOUSING INITIATIVE
The Housing Initiative Fund accounts for the expenses and revenues of homes purchased,
rehabilitated, and sold for the Bisbee Workforce Housing Initiative. This program has the dual
purpose of rehabilitating vacant/dilapidated homes within the city and building new homes on
vacant parcels and providing affordable housing to essential workers such as public safety,
education, health care, and government workers. The vision is to attract and retain these
workers throughout their careers, thereby creating a more resilient community. The program
was kick started with a donation from the Women and Children’s Hope Foundation. Homes
are acquired and donated to the program by Southeast Arizona Renovations, LLC and
rehabilitated by volunteers and paid employees with Step Up Bisbee/Naco. A total of 9 homes
have been rehabilitated/built and sold since the beginning of this program with several other
houses in the works.

WASTEWATER
The Wastewater Fund provides collection and treatment of all wastewater produced in the City
of Bisbee. In addition to maintaining the collection system which consists of thousands of feet
of sewer mains, Wastewater staff are responsible for making Blue Stake requests. The
Wastewater Treatment Plant is currently operated by Operations Management International
(Jacobs) at a cost of about $842,000 per year. Jacobs assumes all costs to operate (with the
exception of the electric bill and maintenance of the solar grid) and manages repairs to the plant.
The City continues to maintain the collection system which includes the pumps and
infrastructure throughout the City that carries the wastewater to the treatment plant.
The Wastewater Fund is supported mainly by user fees. These fees cover the operational costs
of the department with a small amount of surplus. However, any large/expensive repairs are
not covered by the small surplus and the surplus does not cover the $1.3 million annual
depreciation expense on the Wastewater plant and equipment. As the value of the assets
depreciate over time and repairs on the aging plant are required the Wastewater fund balance
decreases as show in the graph below.
The Wastewater Department is budgeted for four full-time Wastewater Collection Systems
Operators.

SANITATION
The Sanitation Fund is responsible for collecting all solid waste in the City and for collecting,
processing, and selling recyclable materials. A downturn in the recyclables market has seen a
decrease in the revenues from the sale of recyclables. For several years the Sanitation Fund
balance continued dropping because of the personnel costs associated with recycling employees
without an equal or greater amount of revenue collected from recycling materials. Likewise, the
costs to collect and dispose of solid waste increased each year without an equivalent fee
increase. In 2018 a fee increase was adopted to cover these increasing costs. Since that time the
fund balance has been recovering with positive net revenue over expense each year which has
enabled the department to replace aging sanitation trucks. The construction of a building for
the glass crusher was budgeted for FY26 but may not be completed until FY27 so this expense
was moved into the FY27 budget.
The Sanitation Fund is budgeted for eight employees:
• 1 Full-time Sanitation Supervisor
• 3 Full-time Sanitation Drivers
• 4 Full-time Recycle Coordinators

PUBLIC WORKS
GRANTS
The Public Works Grants Fund is used to account for grants related to the sewer system. The
city is currently applying for grants and other funding to make repairs at the wastewater
plant and to replace the sewer laterals in Old Bisbee. Grants and funding are being sought
through several sources including WIFA, USDA, EDA, and NAD Bank. Grant matches and loans
will require sewer fee increases to cover the debt. The sewer lateral projects are being re-
engineered into project sections that will be upgraded over the next several years.

been spent for several purposes including grants to non-profits, building repair &
maintenance, pool repairs, parks projects, emergency equipment, sewer system repairs,

BISBEE BUS FUND
The Bisbee Bus operations are funded through the Arizona Department of Transportation’s
(ADOT) 5311 program, a SEAGO AAA grant, and bus fares. The costs of the bus program are not
100% covered by these sources; General Funds are utilized to cover any revenue shortfall (aka
Grant Match).
The day-to-day operations of the Bisbee Bus are contracted through the City of Douglas which
provides drivers, safety training, and oversight of operations, ridership, marketing, and
administration. The Bisbee Bus runs a fixed route deviated service Monday through Friday 6:00
a.m. to 6:20 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 3:35 p.m. This service is provided year-round
except for holidays. The route includes Old Bisbee, Warren, Saginaw, Tintown, San Jose, and
Naco. On weekdays, the bus makes 10 round trips per day and runs an early morning commuter
route. Saturdays the bus makes 4 round trips. The cost to ride the bus is $1.00 for adults, $0.50
for seniors, and $0.25 for students. Assistance is available for seniors and disabled riders to
obtain reduced fare passes.

CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENTS FUND
The Capital Improvements Fund was established by City Council to receive monies from the sale
of City assets, mostly land owned by the City and determined to be surplus property. By
ordinance, the proceeds from the sale of City assets are required to be placed in the Capital
Improvements Fund. The Capital Improvements Fund is used to account for the financial
resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities. Sources of
funding may also include transfers from the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Enterprise
Funds, or grant funding, along with the use of reserves where appropriate.
In FY23 the $2,000,000 from insurance reimbursement from the City Hall fire was transferred
into this fund along with contributions from the Visitor Center, Streets, Wastewater, Sanitation
and Queen Mine. FY24 and again in FY25 includes additional contributions from these funds and
any other land sale. These combined funds went towards covering the costs to rebuild City Hall;
however, fund balance is short of what was needed. The sale of the Hillcrest building is expected
to make up for most of this shortfall.
