New FundPHX Tool Allows Residents to Participate in the City Budget Process
By Councilwoman Debra Stark, District 3 THE CITY OF PHOENIX IS ALREADY PLANNING FOR NEXT YEAR’S CITY BUDGET—AND WE NEED YOUR INPUT TO HELP SHAPE A BUDGET THAT REFLECTS THE PRIORITIES OF PHOENIX RESIDENTS.
FundPHX is an interactive online tool that was launched earlier this year to help residents better understand how the budget is created, to provide the opportunity to engage in the City’s annual budget process, and to promote transparency.
The City of Phoenix’s $1.4 billion General Fund operating budget funds services that residents in the nation’s fifth-largest city depend on daily. These services include police, fire, libraries, parks, streets, senior centers, public works, and so much more—all services that affect residents’ daily lives.
Every year, the City of Phoenix must pass a balanced budget, as required by City Charter. Phoenix’s participatory budget process includes ample opportunities for public comment and engagement. Now, the process is even more accessible with the FundPHX tool, which is available in English and Spanish.
FundPHX allows residents to try their hand at balancing the City’s $1.4 billion General Fund operating budget. With the interactive tool, residents can see for themselves what each service costs and how much it would cost (or save) to change service levels. Residents can also give feedback on current funding levels and share community priorities with staff. As residents interact with the tool, more information is available at their fingertips. Each area in the tool is also linked to the citywide inventory of programs to provide more detail by department. Residents can also access previous publications, budget documents, budget process calendars, and more by visiting phoenix.gov/budget.
With the FundPHX tool, engaging in the City’s annual budget process is something residents can do safely at home. The Budget and Research Department will gather feedback monthly and share it with the City Council, city management, and departments to help guide development of the 2021-22 operating budget.
We want to know what is important to you. Try the FundPHX tool today at phoenix.gov/fundphx.

Inspiring Community Through Connection
A Festive Community
By Allison J. Barnett THIS YEAR WAS A YEAR FOR THE
BOOKS IN SO MANY WAYS. One of the highlights is just how our vibrant North 32nd community came together to create magic and happy memories throughout the year despite the challenges we faced.
While celebrating has certainly been different this year, there is so much gratitude knowing that we live in a community that will strive to come together to celebrate holidays and special events in new and different ways during uncertain times.
Early in 2020, our community rallied with chalk art throughout the neighborhood done by incredible artists, friends and family alike. Then we found ways to bring shamrocks and Easter egg hunts in new ways, which gave families something to look forward to as they engaged in their evening walks. There were many birthday car parades too, including one for a wonderful car aficionado named Ryken.
Our community was so creative in rallying to support each other by making masks, and delivering food and other essentials to those that needed them. We created new business ideas, including selling kids’ homemade delicious treats, and so much more.
We also enjoyed an online citrus map with neighbors sharing with neighbors some of their bounty. With citrus coming back in season, we would love for this to be a map that updates each season in the nature of sharing and caring. Visit http://bit.ly/N32ndCitrus to learn more. For decades, North 32nd residents have decorated our homes for the various holidays to the delight of people of all ages. These decorations will continue to bring us together as we delight in celebrating in new and sometimes unfamiliar ways. Did you get to enjoy the Halloween decorations? It certainly felt like there were even more decorations out this Halloween even though trick-or-treating was a bit different.
As we head into what is one of the most festive seasons in our community, let’s see just how bright we may make this season of light. We encourage you to share in the festivities in the way that is most comfortable for you and your family.

Street Repair and Pavement Updates
STREET TRANSPORTATION CREWS HAD A BUSY AND PRODUCTIVE STREET PAV-
ING SEASON. In District 3 alone, crews have completed 85.4 miles of mill and overlay work, 102.9 miles of preservation treatments, and 126.6 miles of crack seal (from July 1, 2018 to Oct. 31, 2020).
Street transportation crews generally stop resurfacing projects in late October or early November when the temperatures drop, as treatments are best applied when temperatures are higher. Crews will now turn their attention to prep work for the next paving season, which is expected to begin in early March.
To find out which streets are included in the five-year pavement maintenance program, visit the Pavement Maintenance Dashboard at phoenix.gov/pavement.
“The condition of our streets is one of the issues we hear about the most from constituents,” says Councilwoman Debra Stark. “Well-maintained streets are important to Phoenix residents. Through the Accelerated Pavement Maintenance Program, Phoenix is repairing and repaving some of our most-heavily travelled roads to improve our city’s infrastructure.” help of a grant from the MDRT Founda-

Financial Developments to be Thankful for in 2020
This year has been a rollercoaster ride. COVID-19 has dominated the headlines and impacted every aspect of our lives. It has shut down businesses, schools, and workplaces. It’s changed the way we interact and socialize. And of course, it has deeply impacted the economy and the financial markets.
It can be hard in 2020 to find the good news, but there actually are a few economic developments for which we can be grateful. There’s also quite a bit of uncertainty ahead of us. As we approach the end of 2020, now may be a good time to reflect on what has transpired over the past 11 months, and what steps you may need to take to prepare for what comes next.
Below are positive developments that you may want to consider as you prepare for 2021:
THE MARKET’S REBOUND
COVID-19 ended the longest bull market and longest economic expansion in history. The previous bull market started in 2009 and lasted for nearly a decade before crashing in just a few short weeks over February and January of this year.
Between February 19 and March 23, the S&P 500 fell 33.93%. Since that point, though, the markets have surged. From March 23 through October 29, the S&P 500 is up 47.94% and is nearly back to its pre-COVID levels.
As mentioned, though, there is still uncertainty ahead. The COVID-19 pandemic is far from over. There’s also uncertainty about how the results of the election will impact the markets, the economy, and the country’s COVID-19 response.
While the market’s rebound is a fortunate turn of events, there’s no guarantee that it will continue. Now is a good time to evaluate your strategy and lock-in any gains before another potential downturn occurs. A financial professional can help you explore options.
CARES ACT FINANCIAL FLEXIBILITY
The COVID-19 pandemic and its economic fallout have created financial challenges for millions of Americans. While the government is still debating a second round of stimulus, the first round, known as the CARES Act, continues to provide financial flexibility for those facing difficulties.
As part of the CARES Act, you can withdraw up to $100,000 from your 401(k) or IRA without facing early distribution penalties. The taxes on the distribution can even be spread out over a three-year period.
Granted, withdrawing money from your 401(k) or IRA isn’t the best strategy for your retirement. However, it is an added measure of flexibility that didn’t exist prior to this year and it could be a blessing if you’re struggling due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The end of 2020 is approaching. It’s been a rollercoaster ride, but there have been some positive developments, especially in the second half of the year. Let’s talk about how to protect what you have and limit your exposure to future risks and uncertainty.
Contact us today at Diamond Retirement Strategies and let’s start the conversation.

Local Boy Scout Troop Hosts 71st Annual Christmas Tree Sale
By Michelle Talsma Everson IF YOU’RE PURCHASING A FRESH-CUT CHRISTMAS TREE THIS YEAR, CONSIDER HEADING OVER TO THE CHRISTMAS TREE SALE RAN BY BOY SCOUT
TROOP 41. The annual sale, located at 1104 E. Northern Avenue, is a long-time tradition more than 70 years in the making and features fresh cut trees from Oregon.
“Many boys from our troop come from all over the Valley to take part in this longstanding tradition while earning merit badges, serving the community, and learning skills that they carry with them for life,” says Angela Hutchinson, a parent volunteer with BSA Troop 41. “Our grower has a 200-acre Christmas tree farm that is located within a mile of the rampant wildfires in Oregon, but it was saved from the chaos due to the efforts of many volunteers and trained firefighters.”
According to the troop, there are no sales taxes on purchased trees. Because of the pandemic, they will be implementing masks and social distancing guidelines, and ask that all customers do the same.
“Our primary fundraiser continues to be the selling of Christmas trees,” according to the troop’s website. “The boys benefit from this experience by being able to go on a week long summer trip outside the state of Arizona. Some of the trips that we’ve done recently are hiking in and around Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Tetons, exploring Southern Utah, and surfing in Ventura, California.”
