Table 2 - General Fund Budget & Available Fund Balance in thousands Local Sales Tax Fund
The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City, which accounts for resources and services traditionally associated with government. The General Fund provides administrative, financial, police protection, community development, public works, fire, and recreation services to the community and other funds. The General Fund accounts for revenues that have unrestricted uses and are not required legally or by contractual agreement to be accounted for in another fund.
The City has historically reported on the General Fund separately from the Local Sales Tax Fund, although the City’s auditors traditionally combine this information in the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) as shown above in table 1. The Local Sales Tax Fund accounts for the revenues derived from Measure O-06, a local 1/2% sales tax approved by the City's voters in November 2006. Measure O-06 included advisory measures when passed providing direction on the uses to which the funding should be allocated. To ensure accountability, the measure included a provision requiring the City to publish and distribute an annual report to each household on the revenues and expenditures from the sales tax proceeds. To aid in the collection and reporting of this information, the City has accounted for this fund in a separate account. 2023-24 2024-25

Review Preliminary FY 2023-25 Biennial Operating Budget May 23, 2023
For the purpose of providing Council and the community the full picture of the City revenues, expenditures, and ending fund balance, staff has combined these two funds for information purposes into a Consolidated General Fund picture in this report as shown in Table 3.
Table 3 – FY 2023-25 Consolidated General Fund Budget & Available Fund Balance in thousands
The projected fund balance for the Consolidated General Fund at the end of FY 2024-25 is $9,802,554 or 35.9%. This leaves approximately $3,620,000 in funds available that could be allocated from fund balance and still achieve the 20% reserve goal. A discussion about appropriation of Excess Available General Fund Balance has been included later in this report.
Proposed Budget
The FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 proposed budgets present a balanced budget, with excess revenues and fund balance sufficient to cover recommended work plan and capital project budget expenditures. The FY 2023-24 proposed budget includes a total of $24.6 million in revenues and $24.9 million in operating and capital budget for a net of $373,000 more expenditures than revenues. The operating budget is balanced, with a $6.9 million net operating surplus. The expenditures that exceed revenues are for onetime projects that the City has been anticipating. Fund balances accumulated over time offset the additional expenditures.

Review Preliminary FY 2023-25 Biennial Operating Budget May 23, 2023
The FY 2024-25 proposed budget includes a total of $25.2 million in revenues and $27.3 million in operating and capital expenditures for a net of $2 million more expenditures than revenues. The operating budget is balanced, with a $4.3 million net operating surplus.
Consolidated General Fund Revenues
As shown in the chart below, Sales and Property Taxes comprise the largest source of revenue in the General Fund, together accounting for approximately 66% of revenue in that fund. Given this dependence on just two revenue sources, fluctuations in the amount of taxes received can have profound impacts on the City’s ability to provide services.
Fortunately, as long as the real estate market stays reasonably strong, property taxes are a relatively stable revenue source.
Chart 1 – FY 2023-24 Consolidated General Fund Revenues - $24.6 million total Overall, General Fund tax revenues have been trending upward over the past several years and are expected to increase in both years of the Biennial Budget. Based on the latest information provided by the County Auditor-Controller’s Office, Property taxes are expected to rebound 3.3% from FY2023-24 to 2024-25 and another 3.5% the following year. This is the result of an increase in the assessed valuation of properties in Arroyo Grande and a housing market that has remained robust throughout the past year.
Sales tax receipts have remained consistent throughout the past year. As discussed during the Fiscal Outlook presentation in March, the City’s sales tax consultant (HdL) projected a reduction in sales tax revenues of 1.1% in FY 2023-24 due to an anticipated minor economic slowdown. These projections reflect expected declines in categories like automobiles and transportation, fuel and service stations, and general consumer goods.
The lower projections in these categories are the result of lower expected consumer

demand in the short-term and, in the case of fuel, lower prices at the pump. This budget is projecting an increase in sales tax revenues of 2.8% in FY 2024-25, as the economy is only anticipating a minor slowdown.
Chart 2 – Consolidated General Fund Tax Revenues $24.6 million Consolidated General Fund Expenditures
The following two charts show the proposed $25 million Consolidated General Fund expenditure budget for FY 2023-24, both in terms of the relative size of each department as well as the total dollars budgeted for each department. As the charts show, the Police Department is the City’s largest function, with 27% of the budget. Fire services for the FCFA will receive 15% of the Consolidated General Fund and Local Sales Tax Fund budget. Public Works and Community Development will receive 13% and 7% of FY 2023- 24 budget resources, respectively. The “Non-Departmental” category represents 14% of the General Fund budget and includes items that affect all departments, such as the annual payment on the City’s Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL), property and general liability insurance, and transfers to the Street and Capital Improvement Project funds.

Item 12.a.
City Council
Review Preliminary FY 2023-25 Biennial Operating Budget May 23, 2023
Proposed Staffing Changes
As an operational procedure, staff consistently evaluates staff functions and departmental efficiencies. After assessing the workflows of the Engineering section of the Community Development Department, several interrelated and interdependent project responsibilities between Engineering and Public Works were identified. Capital Improvement Projects, like the City’s annual Payment Management and Concrete Repairs Programs, the Bridge Street Bridge and Traffic Way Bridge Replacement Projects, and many other smaller projects like subdivisions and map checking, encroachment permits, red curbing, street signs etc. are sequentially reviewed by Engineering and Public Works and require extensive communication and coordination. To allow these project design, management, review, and inspection processes to be more efficient and comprehensive, staff is recommending that the Engineering Division become part of the Public Works Department. In addition, regular project and staff communication/coordination meetings will be set up along with providing a cohesive project direction and decision-making process that includes appropriate staff. This recommended interdepartmental change is intended to ultimately provide more early, predictable, accurate, and timely service to applicants and the public. The preliminary budget presented in this item reflects the proposed reallocation of Engineering Division staff from Community Development to Public Works.
The preliminary budget also includes a proposal to upgrade a part-time Police Cadet to a full-time Police Service Technician (PST) to allow the Police Department to expand the service to the community. First, this would create stability in the position for recruitment and turnover. The current model of part-time Police Cadets has resulted in an average longevity of about four months per Cadet. The proposed full-time PST position would include the current Cadet duties, such as house checks, parking enforcement, courier, etc., and would enhance the service to the community by responding to nonemergent calls for service (i.e., noninjury traffic collisions, property crime reports, vehicle tows, special events, drone operations, and phone reports). This would potentially reduce the response time of Police Officers to emergency in-progress calls that often involve a threat to life. Additionally, the PST will also operate as a backup Property & Evidence Technician and assist investigative staff with crime scene investigation and processing (dusting for fingerprints, taking photos, logging evidence, etc.). PSTs are common positions in neighboring law enforcement agencies. For example, Grover Beach and Pismo Beach both employ 2 full-time and one part-time and 2 part-time PSTs, respectively.
Changes are also proposed for staffing in the Recreation Services Department. In 2022, the State’s Early Learning Opportunities Program provided additional funding and requirements for the Lucia Mar Unified School District to increase services for both before and after-school as well as holidays through agreements with non-profit providers such as the YMCA, as well as the City. These service need changes resulted in the need for the City to transition the services that the City had provided through its Children in Motion program at two school sites (Branch Elementary and Ocean View Elementary) to a nonPage 526 of 569 Item 12.a.
City Council
Review Preliminary FY 2023-25 Biennial Operating Budget May 23, 2023
profit provider, the YMCA. The transition was planned to occur over the course of one school year, with new and increased services provided by the YMCA at Branch Elementary beginning in the 2022-23 school year. Services at Ocean View Elementary will be transitioned to the YMCA in the summer of 2023. Additionally, on April 25, 2023, Council directed that the City’s preschool program end in August 2023. As a result, the proposed budget eliminates all part-time child care (e.g. teacher) staffing and two parttime administrative positions at the end of the program period in August 2023.
The staffing plan for the Recreation Services Department proposes to retain three fulltime positions, including the Recreation Services Director, the Recreation Coordinator, and the Recreation Supervisor, as well as the part-time volunteer coordinator position. 75% of the Recreation Supervisor position has historically been budgeted to overseeing the City’s child care programs, with the remaining 25% budgeted for administration. This budget proposal includes continuing this Recreation Supervisor position fully funded at 100% with additional duties added to support new community events (such as the Holiday Parade, Summer Concert Series, Art in the Park, and Tree Lighting). In addition, administration of the Arroyo Grande Tourism Business Improvement District (AGTBID) is proposed to be moved from the South County Chambers of Commerce to City staff and, specifically, to the Recreation Services Department starting in FY 2023-24. The estimated cost increase associated with retaining the Recreation Supervisor and reallocating 75% of their position to non-childcare related duties is depicted in Table 4 below.

Vehicle Replacement Requests
As detailed in the table below, the proposed budget includes a request for $604,000 in vehicles and equipment spread over the two years. It is important to note that all vehicles due for replacement are evaluated to determine the status of their operating condition and whether or not their replacement can be delayed.

The Fire Services goal section included an increased contribution totaling $2,612,090 to FCFA as discussed during the April 25, 2023 Council meeting based on the Baker Tilly report with the service level and staffing recommendations included in Plan A-4.
The General Plan goal section included an increase to the Community Development contractual services budget totaling $556,364, as discussed during the March 28, 2023 Council meeting to account for the total comprehensive three-year update. Approximately $446,800 of this will be off-set by the revenue from SB 1090 Funds, LEAP, REAP, and SB 2 Funds.
The Other items identified in Table 6 reflect contractual increases for dispatch and animal control services, as well as an anticipated increase in costs to the County Clerk-Recorder for the 2024 general municipal election.
APPROPRIATION OF EXCESS AVAILABLE GENERAL FUND BALANCE:
This preliminary budget discussion also includes information for Council to provide direction towards spending the balance above the 20% Fund Balance Goal Limit and to appropriate funds, if applicable, to certain expenditures.
At the end of FY 2024-25, the projected fund balance is approximately $4,116,600 greater than the 20% goal. Because the act of allocating excess reserves adds to budgeted expenditures, the amount available to spend while keeping the reserve at 20% is $3,425,000. This is the amount staff recommends discussing and potentially providing direction to appropriate as part of this item.
There are many options available for spending excess general fund reserves. However, because the excess reserves are one-time funds and do not represent an ongoing funding source, it is recommended that they be allocated to one-time items rather than to fund ongoing costs, such as new positions or programs. Spending options include an
Item 12.a.
City Council
Review Preliminary FY 2023-25 Biennial Operating Budget May 23, 2023
additional UAL payment to CalPERS and infrastructure projects, such as pavement maintenance, sidewalk improvements or other capital improvement projects. Decisions regarding projects funded using excess reserves should also consider staff resource constraints.
Infrastructure Projects
Infrastructure projects include pavement maintenance, sidewalk improvements or other capital improvement projects that are not currently funded in the proposed 5-Year CIP.
Infrastructure needs were discussed on May 9, 2023, and reviewed in the proposed 5- Year CIP.
The 5-Year CIP Budget includes $8,386,250 for the Pavement Management Program (PMP) over the course of the 5-year period. To maintain the City’s current Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of 56, which borders on the Poor Condition, approximately $6.25 million needs to be spent annually. The City’s pavement management consultant, PEI Consultants, Inc., has indicated that larger pavement projects have the potential to attract larger contractors who have their own asphalt plants that can often lead to a lower cost per square foot than smaller projects that often attract small firms that are reliant on others for their asphalt supply. Additional allocations of funding from General Fund Reserves to the PMP may result in greater efficiencies for the FY 2024-25 project. Currently, the FY 2023-24 CIP funding allocated to the PMP represents the amount necessary to complete the 2022 Street Repair Project discussed most recently on April 11, 2023, and for designing the FY 2024-25 PMP so that it may be constructed in Summer of 2024. The FY 2024-25 PMP is currently budgeted to include $2.2 million. Excess general fund reserves may be allocated to that project to increase the number of streets and/or treatment methods included in the 2024 project.
The 5-Year CIP Budget includes $240,000 in the FY 2024-25 and FY 2026-27 Budget for Sidewalk Improvements. Current sidewalk repair costs are estimated at $27/square foot.
Additional funding for the sidewalk repair program would increase the number of sidewalk panels that could be repaired in the City and may enable the City to install new sidewalks to close existing gaps in one or two locations.
The City has a number of CIP projects that are not currently funded at this time. If Council wishes to retain excess General Fund Balance for these CIP projects that are not currently funded, it is recommended that the funding remain in fund balance and discussed as part of the next 5-Year Capital Improvement Program Budget, in Spring 2024, in order to ensure staff capacity to complete additional projects.
Reducing the City’s CalPERS Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) Because past earnings have not matched assumptions used by CalPERS to determine the amount of funding needed to cover pension obligations for member agencies, most CalPERS pension plans have liabilities that exceed the market value of assets in the plan, creating an Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL). The chart below shows historical rates of
Item 12.a.
City Council
Review Preliminary FY 2023-25 Biennial Operating Budget May 23, 2023
return on CalPERS investments over the last twenty years, indicating tremendous volatility over those years.
During the time period of the above chart, the expected rate of return has ranged from a high of 8.25% to the current expectation of 6.8%. In any year that the rate of return falls below these earnings expectations, the UAL will likely increase. This factor has been the primary driver of the increasing UAL over the years. Additionally, other factors, such as changes to mortality assumptions and shorter amortization of gains and losses, have also increased the UAL.
The City has a UAL of $12.3 million as of June 30, 2021. This total includes amounts from all six City pension plans, though primarily from the Tier 1 Plans, as shown in table 7:
Table 7 – City’s UAL at 06/30/2021 based on letter issued July 2022 In an effort to reduce the City’s CalPERS UAL, the City Council decided during the FY 2018-20 Biennial Budget hearings to make two prepayments on the UAL. The first prepayment of $3 million was made in July 2018 and a second prepayment of $2 million was made in July 2019. The future realized savings from these investments will be approximately $423,000 annually on average for the next 29 years. This represents a rate Tier

of return on investment from the $5 million paid to CalPERS of 7.1%. During the FY 2022- 23 Mid-Cycle Update, the City Council chose not to make another prepayment but to focus on other City needs. The City Council may choose to allocate some or all of the $3.4 million of excess General Fund Balance to pay down the UAL further in FY 2023-24 or FY 2024-25.
OTHER BUDGET ISSUES:
Recreation Services Department Cost Recovery Goal
The proposed budget includes anticipated revenue in the amount of $457,867 in FY 2023- 24 and $399,600 in FY 2024-25 from the Recreation Services Department’s programs.
Expenditures are budgeted at $883,970 in FY 2023-24 and $783,550 in FY 2024-25 for this department. During past budget development processes, the City Council provided direction that the Recreation Services Department should seek to fully recover costs associated with its services through fees and other revenue generation efforts. A comprehensive fee study is currently underway, and it is anticipated that a revised fee schedule will be presented to Council for consideration in the first quarter of FY 2023-24 that will enable the City to adjust its fees to ensure appropriate cost-recovery for services, including services that will continue to be offered by the Recreation Services Department.
Staff has evaluated cost recovery models employed by other recreation departments as part of the fee study efforts, and will include a discussion of these models in the analysis of the fee study when it is presented to Council in the coming months. Most models employ a tiered approach that seeks to recoup different percentages of the cost of each service depending on the extent to which the specific service benefits the general public.
The result is often a blended cost recovery rate for overall parks and recreation departments, with the national average reaching approximately 23% cost recovery.
Enterprise Fund
Though the focus of this report has been on the City’s General Fund, it is important to point out that the City’s two enterprise fund programs, Water and Sewer, reflect rate adjustments approved by the City Council on March 8, 2022, based on the Water and Wastewater Rate Study. The table below details a consolidated look at these enterprise funds.

Special Revenue Funds
Special Revenue Funds are a governmental fund type used to account for specific revenues that are legally restricted to expenditures for particular purposes. The FY 2023- 25 Biennial Budget proposes changes to 7 of the 22 Special Revenue Funds. Only the Special Revenue Funds with changes will be highlighted in this section.
Fund 211 Public Access Television
The Fund 211 Public Access Television includes fund accounts for fees collected from Charter Communications that are restricted for support of public, education, and government access programming and equipment. The anticipated revenues in this fund increased by $5,000 compared to the current budget. The expenditure budget is also proposed to increase by $180,00 due to the estimated cost to update the Council Chambers AV system that was originally installed in 2017. The anticipated fund balance at the end of FY 2024-25 is $26,266 as shown in the table below:

This legislation provided $27 billion in federal money to the State of California. The State then allocated $1.2 billion to non-entitlement units of local government (NEUs). As an NEU, Arroyo Grande is eligible and has received $4,300,241.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Martinez, Chief of Police
Nicole Valentine, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT: Supplemental Information
Agenda Item 12.a. – May 23, 2023 City Council Meeting
Review Preliminary FY 2023-25 Biennial Operating Budget DATE: May 23, 2023
The Police Department is requesting that funding identified in the preliminary budget for the Police Services Technician (PST) position be postponed from FY 2023-24 to FY 2024- 25 to assist in focusing efforts on the City’s Compensation Study during FY 2023-24 as shown in the updated Table 4 below.
Table 4 – Proposed Staffing Changes
The PST position was identified as a service that would greatly benefit the community based on an increase in parking complaints; responding to nonemergent calls for service such as noninjury traffic collisions, property crime reports; and facilitating crime prevention program requests. The feedback received has indicated a need for more community engagement in order to identify problems and co-produce tangible solutions to these issues. The PST has been identified as a position that would enhance the partnership between the public and the police department.
As a result of this postponement Table 2, Table 3, Chart 3, Chart 4, Table 8, and Table 9, have been updated.
Salaries & Benefits FY 2023-24 FY 2024-25
Police Service Technician (PST) - 108,300
FT Recreation Supervisor 65,400 67,700
Total 176,000 65,400
Table 2 – General Fund Budget & Available Fund Balance in thousands Even with the proposed expenditures, FY 2024-25 is projected to end with a fund balance of $8.2 million, which represents 35.9% of total operating expenditures in the General Fund. This will be $3.6 million above the reserve policy guideline of 20%.
Table 3 – FY 2023-25 Consolidated General Fund Budget & Available Fund Balance in thousands
The projected fund balance for the Consolidated General Fund at the end of FY 2024-25 is $9,907,154 or 36.3%. This leaves approximately $3,710,000 in funds available that could be allocated from fund balance and still achieve the 20% reserve goal. 2023‐24 2024‐25

Chart 3 – FY 2023-24 Consolidated General Fund Expenditures by Department - $24.9 million
This reduction in expenditures does not impact the overall percentage allocated to the Police Department. This Chart was included to demonstrate that it was reviewed as the reduction in expenditures does impact Chart 3.
Chart 4 – FY 2023-24 Consolidated General Fund Expenditures by Department - $24.9 million
The Police section has been reduced by $104,600.
Section Appropriation of Excess Available Consolidated General Fund Balance Paragraph 2 has been updated:
At the end of FY 2024-25, the projected fund balance is approximately $4,445,000 greater than the 20% goal. Because the act of allocating excess reserves adds to budgeted expenditures, the amount available to spend while keeping the reserve at 20% is $3,710,000. This is the amount staff recommends discussing and potentially providing direction to appropriate as part of this item.
Table 8 Proposed FY 2023-24 Budget
Summary section Proposed FY 2023-24 Budget recommends approximately $43.6 million in expenditures shown in Table 8.
Table 9 Proposed FY 2024-25 Budget
Summary section Proposed FY 2024-25 Budget recommends no changes to the approximately $45 million in expenditures shown in Table 9 but does reflect changes in the Beginning Fund Balance for General Fund and Available Fund Balance for General Fund.
