AGENDA ITEM
DATE: May 17, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Scott C. Smith, City Attorney
Mitzi Ortiz, City Clerk
SUBJECT: FOURTH PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER COMPOSITION OF

DISTRICTS FOR BY-DISTRICT ELECTIONS
Recommended Actions:

1. Conduct fourth public hearing, receive and consider input from the public, provide further direction to staff; and

2. Introduce an Ordinance entitled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ALISO VIEJO, CALIFORNIA, ADDING SECTION 1.12.020 TO CHAPTER 1 OF TITLE 1 OF THE ALISO VIEJO MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING BY-

DISTRICT ELECTIONS, DEFINING DISTRICT BOUNDARIES, AND SCHEDULING ELECTIONS WITHIN THE DISTRICTS.

Fiscal Impact:

The cost of the transition to districts is estimated to be $70,000. If the City decides not to move forward with the transition to by-district elections and a CVRA lawsuit is filed against the City, the financial impact could be exponentially greater.

Background:

The City of Aliso Viejo currently elects its five-member City Council through an “at-large” election system in which each Councilmember may reside anywhere in the City, and each member is elected by voters Citywide to provide Citywide representation. This is in contrast to a “by-district” election system where the City is divided into geographical districts, each Council candidate must reside in the district they will represent, and only voters within a given district vote for that district’s Councilmember.

On January 31, 2023, the City received a letter from Kevin Shenkman of Shenkman & Hughes on behalf of the Southwest Voter Registration Education Project and its Aliso Viejo members. The letter claims the City’s at-large voting system dilutes the ability of Latino voters to elect candidates of their choice or to otherwise influence the outcome of City elections. As a result, Mr. Shenkman claims, the City’s at-large elections violate the California Voting Rights Act (“CVRA”). This letter must be sent as a prerequisite to any lawsuit claiming CVRA violations.
13

Page 2 of 3 ends

In response to Mr. Shenkman’s claim, the City Council adopted a Resolution of Intention to transition to by-district elections at its meeting of March 15, 2023. The City Council held the first of four required public hearings on April 5, 2023, the second on April 19, 2023, and the third on May 3, 2023.

Discussion:

Before adopting district-based elections, the City must first prepare a draft map or maps.

The City’s map drawing process began following the initial two public hearings. The City Council defined the criteria used to create one or more proposed district maps, and staff will present the draft map or maps for public comment and review in two subsequent public hearings. The final third and fourth public hearings must be held within 45 days of each other.

The public was provided with an opportunity to submit maps as well, prior to an April 20, 2023, deadline. The proposed maps must be provided for the public’s review at least seven days prior to the third and fourth public hearings. The third public hearing and first after maps were drawn was held on May 3, 2023; maps were posted on April 26, 2023.

The fourth public hearing and second after maps were drawn is at the May 17, 2023, City Council meeting. As such, the draft maps for Council’s consideration at this public hearing were posted on the City’s website on May 9, 2023, in accordance with state law.

Draft Maps
The City’s demographic consultant, the Center for Demographic Research, prepared two maps for the Council’s consideration, and three maps were received from members of the public. At the third public hearing, the City Council directed staff to eliminate Maps 2, 3 and 4 from further consideration and requested the District labels in Map 5 be renumbered. It now appears as Map 5A. There are no changes to the boundaries between Map 5 and Map 5A.

Each of the draft maps was analyzed and reviewed by the Center for Demographic Research and found to be viable. This means the maps create potential Council districts that are population-balanced within a percent spread of 10% between the smallest and largest proposed districts, are contiguous, compact, and respect communities of interest.

A summary of the population deviation may be found below:

Proposal Percent Spread Viable?
Plan 1 9.75% Yes
Plan 2 8.25% Yes
Plan 3 4.01% Yes
Plan 4 5.23% Yes
Plan 5 7.09% Yes
Plan 5A 7.09% Yes

Images of Maps 1 and 5A, with accompanying demographic analysis and population breakdown, is attached to this report (Attachment 2).

During this public hearing, the Council will need to select its preferred map, and determine the “sequencing” of the elections. This means that the Council will need to decide which districts will have elections on which dates. Council may consider the terms of the existing Council members when selecting the sequencing of the district elections. At the conclusion of Council’s deliberations, it would be appropriate to introduce the Ordinance enacting the district map and establishing district-based elections. If introduced at the conclusion of the public hearing, the Ordinance will receive a second reading and considered for adoption on June 7, 2023.

All hearings will be held in the City Hall – Council Chamber, 12 Journey, Suite 100, Aliso Viejo, California.

To increase public awareness of the transition to district elections, the City has used a variety of public communication channels to engage members of the community.

Districting information will continue to be featured on the City’s website at the following web address: www.avcity.org/districting. In addition, the City’s website was populated with information about how the public can participate and also provides answers to frequently asked district questions. The public is also encouraged to provide input via email to [email protected], to drop it off at City Hall, or mail it to the City Clerk.

AGENDA ITEM
DATE: May 17, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Ann Eifert, Director of Financial Services
SUBJECT: DRAFT ANNUAL BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023-24
Recommended Actions:

1. Review the draft FY 2023-24 Annual Budget; and

2. Provide any additional direction to staff regarding the draft FY 2023-24 Budget.

Fiscal Impact:

The draft fiscal year (FY) 2023-24 budget includes appropriations for programs and projects necessary to continue to provide essential services to the community. General Fund revenues are estimated to total $22,726,844. Staff is proposing a prudent General Fund expenditure budget with budget reductions across all departments. The budget totals $23,899,602 and includes all operating costs, capital improvement expenditures, and debt service.

A General Fund budget deficit is estimated at $1,172,758 for FY 2023-24. The use of General Fund reserves is necessary and will fund capital improvement projects totaling $573,000 and debt service payments on the Certificates of Participation in the amount of $658,250. The estimated year-end General Fund balance is approximately $29,468,548.

In addition to the General Fund, the City uses “Special Revenue Funds” to fund various City expenditures. Special Revenue Funds are typically restricted funds, such as Traffic Congestion Relief Funds, Gas Tax, SB 1, Measure M, Air Quality AB 2766 (AQMD), and Federal and Other Grants, and can only be used for specific purposes. Revenue and appropriations for Special Revenue Funds for FY 2023-24 are approximately $9,209,917 and $9,249,511, respectively. At the end of operations for FY 2023-24 the estimated fund balance for all City funds is $33,196,699.

Background:

On April 19, 2023, a City Council study session was held to discuss the FY 2023-24 draft budget. The initial draft budget projected a budget deficit of $1,561,264. Budget 51

Page 2 of 6 ends

balancing measures were discussed and included the use of General Fund reserves totaling $1,231,250 for debt service payments and capital improvements. In addition, an estimated $350,000 in reductions were proposed by freezing one motor officer position and maintaining another $50,000 in vacancy credits with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD). These budget balancing measures have been incorporated into the draft budget.

Discussion:

General Fund Revenues
Revenue forecasts for FY 2023-24 were prepared using estimates and projections provided by the State, other agencies, and consultants. Anticipated General Fund revenues are estimated to total $22,726,844 and reflects a decrease of approximately $1,992,484 from the current year’s adjusted budget. The decrease is a result of the loss of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding that was provided to the City in the prior two years to offset the financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The City receives 84% of its revenue from taxes. This includes property, sales, transient occupancy, and franchise taxes. These sources are described below:
 Property taxes remain the City’s highest and most stable source of revenue with an estimated increase of $429,500 to $9,731,500 or 4.6% primarily due to inflationary adjustments by the County’s assessor’s office and some growth in property values from the prior year.
 Sales tax revenue forecasts show no growth from the current fiscal year and is estimated at $6,050,641. The current sales tax estimates do not include any potential sales tax revenue from new development scheduled to open during the new fiscal year.
 Projections for the City’s transient occupancy tax (TOT) are optimistic that the tourism industry has fully rebounded from the effects of stay-at-home orders of the pandemic. FY 2023-24 is estimated at $1,600,000, a slight increase from the current year of $100,000 or 6.7%.
 Franchise fees are collected from companies that provide electric, gas, cable, and solid waste collection within the City. Franchise fees are expected to increase by $95,000 to $1,600,000 due to increases in gas, electric, and solid waste charges.

These increases have largely offset the continual decline in cable franchise fees as new services replace traditional television cable.

The remaining 16% of General Fund revenues include other sources such as licenses and permits, fines and forfeitures, investment earnings, fees for services, rental income, and recreation. These sources, with the exception of investment earnings, are expected 52

Page 3 of 6 ends

to remain flat compared to current levels. Investment earnings are expected to increase by $100,000 to $400,000 as interest rates rise from record low levels.

General Fund Appropriations
General Fund appropriations total $23,899,602 for FY 2023-24. Total expenditures include salaries and benefits for 29 full-time positions, 5 elected officials, and part-time positions primarily in recreation. Salaries and benefits expenses include merit-based salary increases and cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) in accordance with the Classification and Compensation Plan approved by Council in 2018, which is based on the Annual Consumer Price Index, Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim (CPI-W). Although the CPI-W is 7.5%, the budget is based on a 5.0% COLA for full-time and part-time employees effective July 1, 2023, and is estimated at $197,500.

In addition, appropriations include CalPERS normal pension costs increasing by approximately 1% for both classic and PEPRA employees. Unfunded pension liability costs total $87,004, which decreased from the prior year by approximately $11,500. Total CalPERS payments are estimated at $510,000. As of the most recent CalPERS actuarial valuation, the City’s accrued liability’s funded ratio is above the required funding level of 80% established by Council policy in 2017.

The FY 2023-24 budget provides the necessary funding to continue essential services throughout the community. The budget reflects a decrease of $758,588 or 3.1% compared to the FY 2022-23 adjusted budget. In light of the City’s reduced revenues and higher expenses, budget reductions were made across all departments. General Fund increases and/or decreases within various departments 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. Adjustments to the FY 2023-24 budget for public safety include:

Additional sales tax revenue generated from new development in the upcoming year and increases to the OCSD contract is unknown at this time, which will impact the estimated ending fund balance. Revenues will be monitored to identify additional sales tax from new development as well as potential shortfalls in other revenue sources. Expenditures will be analyzed for criticality and services or purchases that are deemed not essential to City services will be deferred when applicable. Staff continues to explore revenue enhancement opportunities through economic development activity and seek grant opportunities when available to uphold the City’s vision of providing critical services to residents and businesses.
