Agenda packet — Aliso Viejo City Council, June 1, 2022 (part 2 of 2)

By statute, a number of actions and decisions must be made by the City Council in order for the City to hold a consolidated General Municipal Election. The City Clerk, as Elections Official, has prepared the attached resolutions for City Council consideration, which will call the election, request consolidation with the County and establish necessary guidelines.

Discussion:

The City of Aliso Viejo holds its General Municipal Election on the same day as the Statewide General Election. This year, the date is November 8, 2022. The election will be consolidated with the County of Orange and the Registrar of Voters will be asked to conduct the election on behalf of the City. The election services provided by the Registrar of Voters include the printing and mailing of ballots, opening and closing of vote centers, counting of ballots, canvassing of returns and all other proceedings incidental to and connected with the City’s General Municipal Election.

In order to initiate the administration of the General Municipal Election as required by the Elections Code, Staff is requesting City Council consideration of the attached resolutions.

Once adopted, the resolutions with be forwarded to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors for the Board’s approval, with a copy to the Registrar of Voters. The resolutions are as follows:

1. Calling for the Holding of a General Municipal Election on Tuesday, November 8, 2022 (Attachment 1)
The Elections Code provides that the City Council shall adopt a resolution calling the election. Attached is a resolution calling for the holding of a General Municipal Election in the City of Aliso Viejo on November 8, 2022, for the election of two (2) Members of the City Council for the full term of four (4) years, and submission to the voters the following question, as provided for by Resolution No. 2021-32, adopted by the city Council on December 1, 2021:

Shall an ordinance be adopted by the City of Aliso Viejo to limit consecutive years of service by members of the City Council to a combined total of two four-year terms with the ability to again serve as a member after a lapse of service of at least two years? YES
NO

2. Requesting the County of Orange to Consolidate the General Municipal Election with the Statewide General Election (Attachment 2)
The Elections Code provides that the City Council may, by resolution, request that the County Board of Supervisors permit the County Elections Official to render specified services to the City relating to the conduct of an election. The City Clerk will work closely with the Orange County Registrar of Voters for election services.

3. Adopting Regulations Pertaining to the Candidate Statements (Attachment 3) 277

Page 3 of 3 ends

The Elections Code provides that the City Council adopt regulations pertaining to the statement prepared by any candidate for the General Municipal Election and to determine whether a charge shall be levied to cover the actual costs of such statement.

The statement may include the name, age and occupation of the candidate and a brief description of no more than 200 words about the candidate’s education and qualifications as expressed by the candidate. The City Council may authorize an increase in the limitation of words for the statement from 200 to 400 words. Historically, the City of Aliso Viejo has not authorized the word increase. Staff recommends authorizing the 200-word limit for this election to avoid increased costs for the statements.

It is recommended that any candidate who chooses to submit a candidate statement pay for the costs of translating, printing, and mailing of the statement. Upon submission of nomination papers, candidates would be required to submit a deposit to the City for this purpose. An estimate is calculated by the County based on the number of registered voters, page formatting and the number of pages of the sample ballot and will be provided to the candidate during the nomination process. The candidate shall be refunded any overage or billed for any additional costs within 30 days of the actual accounting of said costs by the Orange County Registrar of Voters.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolutions regarding the upcoming General Municipal Election to be held on November 8, 2022, and direct staff to work with the Orange County Registrar of Voters on election activities.

SUBJECT: ORDINANCE REGARDING TRANSIENT LODGING OCCUPANT

REGISTRATION
Recommended Actions:

1. Open the public hearing, take any public testimony, and close the public hearing;

2. Find that the Ordinance is not subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act for the following reasons:
a) The Ordinance is not a "project" within the meaning of Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it has no potential for resulting in direct or indirect physical change in the environment;
b) The Ordinance is exempt under Section 15061(b)(3), the general rule exemption, because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the code amendments therein will have a significant effect on the environment; and

3. Introduce for first reading an Ordinance entitled:

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ALISO VIEJO, CALIFORNIA AMENDING CHAPTERS 3.06 AND 15.18 OF THE ALISO VIEJO

MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING TRANSIENT LODGING OCCUPANT

REGISTRATION AND FINDING THE ORDINANCE NOT SUBJECT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT.

Fiscal Impact:

The Ordinance will ensure that hotel occupants in the City retain their transient status and the City continues to receive transient occupancy tax (“TOT”) revenue. 293

Page 2 of 4 ends

Background:

The City’s General Plan and Zoning Ordinance make clear distinctions between residential and commercial zones. Residential zones are zones where long-term residency is appropriate based on the distinct nature of residential environs and the availability of resident-serving infrastructure such as schools, parks, public safety, and community services. Conversely, commercial zones are zones where long-term residency is inappropriate based on the lack of services, the incompatibility of long-term residency with commercial environs, and the impairment of long-term residential occupation with the zoning’s underlying goals of enhancing and preserving the City’s tax base—particularly from sales tax and transient occupancy tax (“TOT”).

Hotel uses and TOT are essential to the City’s fiscal health and were subject to City incentives and negotiations memorialized in development agreements between the City and property owners/developers. Long-term residential uses in commercial zones creates land use incompatibilities and impairs the City’s return on its fiscal investment made by entering into development agreements that contemplated hotels as the consideration given thereunder.

Section 3.06.020 of the Aliso Viejo Municipal Code (“AVMC”) imposes a 10 percent TOT on each guest who occupies a hotel 1 room for a period of 30 days or less. TOT is a general tax, the proceeds of which are deposited into the City’s general fund. The general fund pays for essential services in the City, including but not limited to law enforcement, fire protection and street operations and maintenance.

Discussion
Section 3.06.010 of the AVMC requires guests residing in a hotel longer than 30 days to re-register with the hotel at the expiration of the 30-day period. The proposed Ordinance (Attachment 1) builds on Section 3.06.010 by adding a new Section 3.06.045 (Transient Registration), amending Section 3.06.300 (Violations), and amending Table 15.18.020 (Nonresidential Districts). Collectively, these AVMC amendments will further strengthen the City’s TOT framework by ensuring that hotel occupants retain their transient status and the City continues to receive TOT revenue. A brief overview of this Ordinance’s AVMC amendments is provided below.

Chapter 3.06 – Transient Occupancy Tax
The Ordinance includes two amendments to Chapter 3.06 (Transient Occupancy Tax).

The first amendment adds a new section 3.06.045, which is focused on hotel operators.

The new section 3.06.045 will read as follows:

1 “Hotel” within the TOT context is defined broadly to include, among other things, “…any hotel, inn, tourist home or house, motel, studio hotel, bachelor hotel, lodging house, rooming house…” (See AVMC, Section

3.06.010).
294

Page 3 of 4 ends

“Section 3.06.045 Transient Registration
It is unlawful for any operator of a hotel subject to the tax imposed by this chapter to register any person as an occupant for a period longer than 30 consecutive calendar days. Any person whose occupancy might otherwise exceed 30 consecutive calendar days shall be checked-out and re-registered by the operator every 30 days.”
The second amendment to Chapter 3.06 revises section 3.06.300’s penalty provisions to include violations of the new section 3.06.045 (above). Upon adoption of this Ordinance, any violation of section 3.06.045 will be a misdemeanor, punishable by criminal fines corresponding to misdemeanor violations of the AVMC and civil fines equal to the tax that would have applied to the occupancy in excess of 30 days.

Chapter 15.18 – Nonresidential Districts
As noted above, this Ordinance also amends Table 15.18.020, which sets forth the permitted uses in the City’s nonresidential zoning districts. Specifically, this Ordinance amends Table 15.18.020’s transitory lodging use entries (e.g., hotels and motels) to specify that establishments that allow occupants to register for periods longer than 30 consecutive days are not permitted in any zoning district. Upon adoption of this Ordinance, these entries in Table 15.18.020 will read as follows:
295

Page 4 of 4 ends

Staff recommends adopting this Ordinance, which will further strengthen the City’s TOT framework by ensuring that hotel occupants retain their transient status and the City continues to receive TOT revenue. Adopting this Ordinance will also further the City’s land use and fiscal goals by advancing the General Plan’s land use goals of providing services and facilities for residential uses as well as its fiscal goals set forth above.

VIEJO, CALIFORNIA AMENDING CHAPTERS 3.06 AND 15.18 OF THE

ALISO VIEJO MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING TRANSIENT LODGING

OCCUPANT REGISTRATION AND FINDING THE ORDINANCE NOT

SUBJECT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
WHEREAS, the City of Aliso Viejo’s (“City”) General Plan and Zoning Ordinance make clear distinctions between: (1) residential zones -- where long-term residency is appropriate based on the distinct nature of residential environs and the availability of resident-serving infrastructure such as schools, parks, public safety, and community services and (2) commercial zones -- where long-term residency is inappropriate based on the lack of these services, the incompatibility of long-term residency with commercial environs, and the impairment of long-term residential occupation with the zoning’s underlying goals of enhancing and preserving the City’s tax base, particularly from sales tax and transient occupancy tax (“TOT”); and
WHEREAS, hotel uses and the TOT are essential to the City’s fiscal health and were subject to City incentives and negotiations memorialized in development agreements between the City and property owners/developers; and
WHEREAS, long-term residential uses in commercial zones creates land use incompatibilities and impairs the City’s return on its fiscal investment made by entering into development agreements that contemplated hotels as the consideration given thereunder; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with California Revenue and Taxation Section Code 7280 et seq., Section 3.06.020 of the Aliso Viejo Municipal Code (“AVMC”) imposes a 10 percent transient occupancy tax (i.e., TOT) on each guest who occupies a hotel 1 room for a period of 30 days or less; and
WHEREAS, TOT is a general tax, the proceeds of which are deposited into the City of Aliso Viejo’s (“City”) general fund. The general fund pays for essential services in the City, including but not limited to law enforcement, fire protection and street operations and maintenance; and
WHEREAS, AVMC Section 3.06.010 requires guests residing in a hotel longer than 30 days to re-register with the hotel at the expiration of the 30 day period, thus maintaining their transient status; and
WHEREAS, this Ordinance furthers the City’s land use and fiscal goals by advancing the General Plan’s land use goals of providing services and facilities for residential uses as

3.06.010).
297

Page 2 of 7 ends

well as its fiscal goals mentioned above by: (1) prohibiting hotel operators from registering any person as an occupant for a period longer than 30 consecutive calendar days; and (2) requiring hotel operators to check-out and re-register an occupant every 30 days; and WHEREAS, the foregoing will ensure that hotel occupants retain their transient status and the City continues to receive TOT revenue; and
WHEREAS, Table 15.18.020 in AVMC Section 15.18.020 sets forth the permitted uses in the City’s nonresidential zoning districts; and
WHEREAS, this Ordinance amends Table 15.18.020’s transitory lodging use entries (e.g., hotels and motels) to specify that establishments that allow occupants to register for periods longer than 30 consecutive days are not permitted in any zoning district; and WHEREAS, the City Council conducted a public hearing to consider the Ordinance in accordance with AVMC Chapter 15.78 and California Government Code Section 65854 ; and
WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ALISO VIEJO ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1 . Recitals. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the recitals above are true and correct and are incorporated herein.

SECTION 2. CEQA. The City Council hereby finds that this Ordinance is not a “project” subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). The Ordinance does not qualify as a project because it has no potential to result in either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15378, subd. (a).) It simply regulates occupant registration at transitory lodgings (e.g., hotels and motels). In the alternative, the City Council finds that the Ordinance falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15061, subdivision (b)(3), which exempts activity from CEQA where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” Here, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment because the Ordinance simply regulates occupant registration at transitory lodgings; it will not result in any development or in any new activity with the potential to impact the environment.

SECTION 3. Required Zoning Code Amendment Findings. In accordance with AVMC Section 15.78.050(E), after receiving public testimony, reviewing the evidence submitted by staff and discussing the Ordinance, the City Council hereby makes the following findings:
298

Page 3 of 7 ends

1. General Plan Consistency. This Ordinance’s amendments to Zoning Code (Title 15) of the Aliso Viejo Municipal Code are consistent with the City’s adopted General Plan for the reasons set forth below:

A. General Plan Land Use Policy LU-1.6 provides, among other things, that the City should support development of hotel land uses as a means to increase City revenues. This Ordinance regulates such uses by prohibiting operators thereof from allowing any person to register as an occupant for a period longer than 30 consecutive calendar days. Complying with this requirement will ensure that guests’ stays remain transient and do not circumvent the City’s transient occupancy tax requirements. Collectively, this is intended to maximize the availability of hotel rooms for transient visitors and ensure that the City continues to receive transient occupancy tax revenue. For these reasons, this Ordinance is consistent with General Plan Land Use Policy LU-1.6.

B. General Plan Implementation Program No. I-1, which directs the City to prepare, adopt, and implement a Zoning Ordinance consistent with State law to establish permitted densities, intensities, and uses within Aliso Viejo. This Ordinance amends the City’s Zoning Code to clarify that the only hotels, motels, and bed and breakfast inns permitted in the City are those that do not allow any person to register as an occupant for a period longer than 30 consecutive calendar days. Complying with this requirement will ensure that these lodging uses collect and remit transient occupancy tax to the City in accordance with State law (see Revenue and Taxation Code Section 7280(a).) For these reasons, this Ordinance is consistent with General Plan Implementation Program No. I-1.

2. Public Welfare. The City Council hereby finds that this Ordinance’s amendments to the Zoning Code (Title 15) will not create conditions materially detrimental to the public healt h, safety, and general welfare; the amendments simply regulate occupant registration at transitory lodgings.

SECTION 5 . Code Amendment . Section 3.06.045 is hereby added to Title 3 (Transient Occupancy Tax) of the Aliso Viejo Municipal Code and shall read in its entirety as follows:
“3.06.045 Transient Registration
It is unlawful for any operator of a hotel subject to the tax imposed by this chapter to register any person as an occupant for a period longer than 30 consecutive calendar days. Any person whose occupancy might otherwise exceed 30 consecutive calendar days shall be checked-out and re-registered by the operator every 30 days.”

AGENDA ITEM
DATE: June 1, 2022
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Captain Scott Merrill, Chief of Police Services
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE PROHIBITING UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF CATALYTIC

CONVERTERS IN THE CITY OF ALISO VIEJO
Recommended Action:

Introduce the following ordinance for first reading, entitled:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ALISO VIEJO, CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTER 8.36 (UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF A CATALYTIC CONVERTER PROHIBITED) TO TITLE 8 (PUBLIC PEACE, MORALS AND WELFARE)

OF THE ALISO VIEJO MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS

PROHIBITING THE UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF CATALYTIC CONVERTERS IN THE CITY OF ALISO VIEJO.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

Background:

Catalytic converters are an external component of a vehicle, accessible from the underside of a parked car. They convert most of a vehicle’s emissions into less harmful forms, improving air quality and vehicle performance. As part of their construction, catalytic converters contain valuable materials such as platinum and palladium, rare metals that command ever-increasing prices on the recyclables market.

Catalytic converter thefts are on the rise because individuals are incentivized to commit catalytic converter thefts for multiple reasons including: (1) the ease and undetectable nature of committing such thefts, potentially in a matter of seconds and through the use of common tools such as a reciprocating saw; (2) the ability to recycle catalytic converters at scrap metal yards for high dollar returns ranging from $200 to $1,200 per catalytic converter; and (3) loopholes in legislation protecting criminals from prosecution unless a victim can be identified.
304

Page 2 of 2 ends

Nationwide thefts numbered approximately 26,000 in May 2021. Orange County Sheriff’s Department patrol area thefts numbered approximately 1,035 in 2021, and year to date 339 thefts.

Discussion:

There is currently no City, State, or Federal legislation applicable within the City of Aliso Viejo to define and punish catalytic converter thefts absent an identifiable victim.

Additionally, there is currently no City, State, or Federal legislation applicable within the City of Aliso Viejo requiring individuals to provide proof to law enforcement as to how they obtained catalytic converters in their possession. This limits law enforcement’s ability to (1) protect the public by preventing catalytic converter thefts and (2) seize suspected stolen catalytic converters when there is no identifiable victim present. As a result, preventing and punishing these crimes at present is nearly impossible due to the ease and speed with which catalytic converter thefts can be committed and the difficulty of tracing a particular catalytic converter back to its prior owner (the victim), because catalytic converters typically have no identifying markers.

Individuals in possession of stolen catalytic converters are able to recycle them for substantial profit at relatively low risk, while victims are forced to commit to costly repairs.

By criminalizing the mere possession of an unattached catalytic converter absent proof of ownership or lawful possession, this ordinance would combat this criminal practice by:
(1) achieving deterrence by establishing zero-tolerance for catalytic converter thefts; (2) establishing sanctions for possessing stolen catalytic converters; (3) prohibiting the falsification of information in documents and records used to verify ownership or lawful possession of a catalytic converter; (4) preventing criminals from profiting from the sale and recycling of stolen catalytic converters; (5) providing indirect justice to the victims of catalytic converter theft cases that have gone or will go unsolved for the reasons discussed above; and (6) minimizing the fiscal and personnel impact on the City of Aliso Viejo and the Orange County Sheriff’s Department by reducing the time invested in deterring and investigating catalytic converter thefts.

By implementing the attached Ordinance, the City will prohibit the unlawful possession of catalytic converters in the City of Aliso Viejo, discouraging this increasingly-common criminal activity. The City will further prohibit the falsification of information in documents and records used to verify ownership or lawful possession of a catalytic converter.

AGENDA ITEM
DATE: June 1, 2022
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Ann Eifert, Director of Financial Services
SUBJECT: DRAFT ANNUAL BUDGET FOR FY 2022-23
Recommended Actions:

1. Review the draft FY 2022-23 Annual Budget;

2. Authorize Cost of Living adjustment (4.3%) effective July 1, 2022 ($123,615); and

3. Provide any additional direction to staff regarding the draft FY 2022-23 Budget.

Summary:

The draft fiscal year (FY) 2022-23 budget includes appropriations for programs and projects necessary to continue to provide essential services to the community. The draft budget anticipates revenue to exceed operating expenditures by approximately $60,838.

General Fund reserves totaling $657,050 will be utilized for debt service payment of the Certificates of Participation (COP).

General Fund revenues are estimated to be $23,838,978 for FY 2022-23, which include federal stimulus funds from the American Rescue Plan in the amount of $2,839,053. To ensure operations and service levels are not impacted, Staff is proposing a prudent General Fund expenditure budget totaling $23,778,140 and includes operating costs and capital improvement expenditures for Public Safety, Community and Economic Development, Community Services and Recreation, and Administration and Support. The General Fund balance at the end of operations for FY 2022-23 is estimated to be $26,648,944.

In addition to the General Fund, the City uses “Special Funds” to offset a portion of the City’s expenditures. “Special Funds” are typically restricted funds that can only be used for specific purposes such as Traffic Congestion Relief Funds, Gas Tax, SB 1, Measure M funds, Air Quality AB 2766 funds (AQMD), and Federal and Other Grants. At the end of operations for FY 2022-23 the estimated fund balance for all City funds is $30,510,305. 311

Page 2 of 6 ends

Fiscal Impact:

The Annual Budget is the basis upon which the Council allocates anticipated financial resources for uses in the coming fiscal year. The draft budget for FY 2022 -23 being presented is balanced and reflects a General Fund surplus of $60,838.

Proposed general fund revenues increased a net of $ 969,927 compared to Mid-Year 2021-22 estimates. The increase is primarily due to higher sales tax forecasts, the rebounding of transient occupancy tax (TOT), and modest increases to property taxes.

Revenues include the second and final payment from the American Rescue Plan federal funds anticipated for the upcoming year. Expenditures increased by $1,682,282, or 7.6% primarily due to increases in salaries and contractual increases to public safety. General Fund reserves totaling $ 657,050 will be utilized for debt service payment on the Certificates of Participation (COP). The General Fund balance at the end of FY 2022 -23 is estimated to be $26,648,944 and is 112% of the estimated operating budget.

Background:

This is the first budget discussion for the Annual Budget for FY 2022-23. Comparisons made in this report use the FY 2021-22 Mid-Year budget and the draft FY 2022-23 Annual Budget.

Discussion:

General Fund Revenues
Anticipated General Fund revenues for FY 2022-23 total approximately $23,838,878, which reflects an overall increase of $969,927 or 4.2%, compared to the FY 2021-22 Mid- Year Budget. Revenues include the City’s second payment of stimulus funds in the amount of $2,839,053. Revenue forecasts for FY 2022-23 were prepared using estimates and projections provided by the State, other agencies, and/or City consultants.

The City receives 75% of its revenue from taxes. This includes property, sales, transient occupancy, and franchise taxes.Property taxes remain the City’s highest and most stable source of revenue with a n estimated increase of $328,937 or 3.6% primarily due to a strong housing market. Sales tax revenue forecasts indicate an increase of $580,000, or 312

Page 3 of 6 ends

11.6%, which is attributed to the reopening of businesses from pandemic restrictions and higher prices due to increases in gas prices and inflation.

Projections for the City’s Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) are optimistic for FY 2022-23; however, estimates are still below pre-pandemic levels. TOT is estimated to be $1,440,000, a 20% increase from mid-year estimates, but represents only 90% of pre- pandemic levels. Franchise fees are collected from companies that provide electric, gas, cable, internet, and solid waste collection within the City. These fees have been steadily declining over the past few years as new services replace traditional television cable. FY 2022-23 estimates a decrease of $40,000.

The remaining 25% of general fund revenues include the final payment of American Rescue Plan funds and other sources such as licenses and permits, fines and forfeitures, investment earnings, fees for services, rental income, and recreation. Licenses and permits and fees for planning and building services are lower than mid-year estimates due to a reduction in development activity forecasted for the new year. Fines collected as a result of parking and traffic enforcement are also declining as a result of increased patrolling within the City. However, investment earnings will increase $200,000 due to projected higher interest rates. Recreation and rental income are expected to remain relatively flat.

General Fund Appropriations
General Fund operating expenditures are anticipated to increase $1,682,282 or 7.6%, compared to FY 2021-22 Mid-Year Budget. Total expenditures include salaries and benefits for 28 full-time positions, 5 elected officials, and part-time positions primarily in recreation. Incremental increases in appropriations across all departments are due to increases in contractual services, merit-based salary increases, and a cost-of-living (COLA) increase of 4.3% for full-time employees in FY 2022-23. In accordance with the Classification and Compensation Plan approved by Council in 2018, the COLA is based on the Annual Consumer Price Index, Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim (CPI) and is estimated at $123,615. In addition, appropriations include CalPERS unfunded pension liability payment of $98,471, which was an increase of $16,124 over the prior year.

The FY 2022-23 budget provides the necessary funding to continue essential services throughout the community. Funding increases for various projects and services are highlighted below.

Public Safety
Public Safety, which represents 44% of the City’s General Fund budget, includes law enforcement, animal control, crossing guards, emergency management, and crime prevention. The cost of public safety has risen approximately $1.9 million or 22.6% since FY 2018-19 primarily due to contract increases for law enforcement services with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department. For FY 2022-23, total public safety costs are 313

Page 4 of 6 ends

estimated to increase by $722,686 or 7.2% to a total cost of $10,741,476 to maintain current level of services. Increases to various public safety contracts and/or services include:
 Orange County Sheriff’s Department - $624,558 or 6.7% increase to $9,917,083  Animal control - $66,436 or 17.7% to $442,676
 Crossing guards - $14,237 or 7.3% increase to $209,732 Administration & Support
 November 2022 election - $85,000
 Funding for conferences and training which were brought back to levels prior to the pandemic - $20,000
 Information Technology related services for computer support, equipment replacement, and cameras – $58,000
Community Development
 Annual support and licensing for the new permit software - $45,000  Special projects for Aliso Viejo Town Center - $79,000  Development of the City’s Housing Element - $75,000
Public Works
 Addition of a full-time Streets Supervisor - $150,000; however, the cost for the additional position have been offset by the reduction in contractual services  Increases to County environmental wastewater permits - $38,200 Community and Services and Recreation
 Addition of Community Services Supervisor - $121,700
Capital Improvement
Other General Fund obligations include various transfers to capital funds for capital improvement projects, totaling $441,000 for FY 2022-233. Projects in FY 2022-23 include the following:
 Aliso Ranch - $181,000
 City Hall - $205,000
 Aliso Viejo Center - $25,000
 Wetlands Monitoring Project - $10,000
 Dairy Fork Wetland Project - $20,000

Special Revenue Funds
Special Revenue funds are expended in compliance with their funding stipulations; however, it is common to accumulate Special Revenue funds for multiple years in order to expend on larger City projects.

Road funds consist of Traffic Congestion Relief funds, Highway Users Tax also known as Gas Tax, Measure M2 and SB1 funds. These funds are restricted and may only be utilized for the maintenance and improvement of street and traffic projects.

Gas Tax is expected to increase by approximately $136,725, or 10.3%, based on recent projections provided by the State. These funds are primarily used for ongoing costs associated with street maintenance, street sweeping, street lighting, and pavement management. In addition, SB1 funds will also see an increase of $135,470, or 13.5%, and will be allocated towards street CIP projects. Increases in both Gas Tax and SB1 funds is primarily the result of higher gas prices.

Measure M2 was approved by voters in March 2011 and is a major revenue source for the City’s streets and roads projects. Overall, the revenue projected in this category is expected to increase by $108,346, or 15.0%. Senior Mobility grant funds, which provides free door-to-door transportation services for any senior citizen residing in Aliso Viejo to attend programs at nearby senior centers, are also expected, totaling $25,430.

The Federal Grants fund includes $2,839,053 from the American Rescue Plan stimulus funds, which is designated for COVID mitigation efforts and to maintain public safety services as a result of the loss in revenue due to the pandemic. In addition, funding in the amount of $241,324 for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), and $294,969 for CDBG Coronavirus funds is programed for fair and supportive housing initiatives, business grant program, senior meal programs, homeless prevention services, and youth programs.

Supplemental Law Enforcement Service Fund (SLESF) for front line local public safety programs and equipment is expected to be about the same as prior year at $176,620.

The Technology Grant is provided from public, educational, and government access (PEG) fees received through cable franchises. These funds are used for public programming, such as Council meetings, and are projected to decrease slightly as new services replace traditional cable television. Integrated Waste Management grants and AQMD AB2766 Subvention funds are expected to be about the same as the prior year.

Revenues for the Other Grants fund vary from year to year depending on grant awards.

Staff continues to actively seek grant opportunities as they arise.

Management services for the Aliso Viejo Center and the Aquatic Center are provided by two qualified management companies. Aliso Viejo Center revenues for FY 2022-23 are projected to be $2,400,910 and reflect a net transfer of $370,344 to the General Fund. 315

Page 6 of 6 ends

The Aquatic Center revenues are $944,000, with expenditures totaling $1,136,740.

General Fund will fund the net cost of operations estimated to be $192,740.
