Six year Capital Program 334 five - year Financial AND strategic plan FY16-FY20 MAYOR S LETTER 4 My Fellow Philadelphians: I am pleased to present the final five year Financial and strategic plan of my administration. In my January 2008 inaugural address, I presented a vision for a safer, smarter, greener, and healthier Philadelphia , with jobs and opportunity for all.

5 To meet those ambitious goals, I pledged to reduce crime, increase the high school graduation rate, attract new businesses and residents to the city, and lead an ethical City government that is a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars. I am proud of the City s accomplishments over the past seven years across all of these fronts. While we have made great progress towards these goals, this five year plan , the last of my tenure, reflects my aspiration of constantly making Philadelphia a better place to live, work, go to school, play, and visit. This five year plan also reflects my goal of leaving the City fiscally sound and more efficient and effective. Philadelphia continues to make progress on several fronts after weathering the Great Recession and the severe fiscal impact it had on our city. While we still face fiscal challenges since our tax receipts are growing moderately, new residents continue to move into the city and businesses continue to invest and create jobs in Philadelphia .

6 We must keep this progress going. We are navigating a new normal; as tax revenues increase modestly and savings from efficiencies are realized, we must make important choices about how to invest taxpayer dollars. This five year plan makes clear our priorities. Our first priority: we must invest in our children. Over the last several years, my Administration, in partnership with City Council, has added an additional $360 million in funding to the public school system. Local taxpayers have contributed in higher amounts than ever before. Despite these additional dollars, our students still do not have the resources that they need to thrive. A fair funding formula, alongside additional funds, is critically needed from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This five year plan proposes increasing the property tax to meet the request from the School District to make important investments in schools that will allow our children to receive the education they need.

7 Providing additional dollars for public schools has long-term benefits throughout the city. As this five year plan shows, poverty and educational outcomes are linked this investment will allow students to achieve more, helping to break the devastating impact that low educational attainment has on their lives. Our city is slowly gaining population, especially young professionals and empty nesters, but yet, we continue to lose families as their children reach school age. To further show my commitment to this effort, this five year plan also includes additional funding for the Community College in order to ensure that tuition remains affordable. Improving our system of public education will help retain residents. We must together commit to making the investments in these areas to reach our goal of making Philadelphia a city with a premier public education system.

8 five - year Financial AND strategic plan FY16-FY20 MAYOR S LETTER 5 While crime statistics have reached record lows in recent history, there is still much to do to maintain these improvements and bring the level of violence down even further. This five year plan allocates funding to maintain a swor n strength of 6,525 police officers. As recommended by the Department of Licenses and Inspections Advisory Commission and Oversight Board, this five year plan also provides funding to allow the Department of Licenses and Inspections, and other departments responsible for building safety, to implement initiatives from its 2015 plan for a Safer City. In addition, the plan proposes other investments that will leave Philadelphia in a better place than when I came into office. It includes funding increases for investments in our neighborhood libraries and youth workforce development to expand youth workforce efforts to create summer jobs and encourage business and philanthropic business leaders to do the same.

9 This five year plan continues reductions to wage tax rates to spur job growth and those cuts could be even larger if proposals in the Governor s budget are enacted. It sets aside money for investments in equipment for police and fire fighters, City vehicle upgrades, and investments in data infrastructure to continue improving tax collection efforts as well as implementing funding for a five - year refresh cycle for computers. We can also have a hand in accelerating our economic recovery by making the City more business friendly and supporting small businesses so that more jobs are created. This five year plan supports continued business gr owth by improving streetscapes along commercial corridors and investing in the revitalization of Market East. We will also invest in the revitalization of neighborhoods by renovating firehouses, health centers, and libraries, and creating new park spaces along the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers.

10 Despite this progress, our pension system remains critically underfunded. My Administration continues to advocate for and has achieved important reforms that will have long-term positive results for the Pension Fund. Passage of the sales tax proposals in the Governor s proposal would provide a crucial additional resource for the pension fund. We are proud of the progress made over the last seven years, but there is still much work to do. We must continue to work together and collaboratively to reach our long term goals for Philadelphia . Join me in making these investments in the future of Philadelphians and our great city. Mayor Michael A. Nutter five - year Financial AND strategic plan FY16-FY20 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 6 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2008, Mayor Michael A. Nutter laid out a vision for Philadelphia , focusing his Administration around five key goals designed to make the city safer, healthier, greener, and more competitive, and to create an ethical government that serves all of its citizens.
