CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT – STUDY SESSION
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
GEORGE RODERICKS, CITY MANAGER
FROM: ROBERT BARRON III, FINANCE DIRECTOR
DATE: APRIL 5, 2023
SUBJECT: FY 2023/24 GENERAL FUND/OPERATIONS BUDGET
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Council review and discuss this Report.
BACKGROUND
This is a review of the Town’s General Fund Operational Budget only. Expenditures include the Administration, Finance, Planning, Building, Inter-Department, Public Works, and Public Safety departments. The Operations Budget focuses on the Town’s fiscal outlook of revenues and expenditures over time to the Town’s General Fund. The March 1 Study Session provided a highlevel view of revenue and expenditure assumptions and a five-year forecast using those assumptions. Those assumptions are incorporated herein.
FY 2023/24 Total General Fund revenues are projected at $22,010,474 against $19,396,276 in expenditures.
The FY 2023/24 Budget is approximately $858K more than the FY 2022/23 adjusted Budget. The bulk of the increase is within the Planning, Administration, Inter-department, and Public Works Departmental budgets.
ANALYSIS
R E V E N U E S
FY 2023/24 Total General Fund revenues are projected at $22,010,474 against $19,396,276 in expenditures. This is a single year surplus of $2.61 million, before the addition one-time revenues or transfers in/out (such as ERAF or CIP). There is a projected year-end positive fund balance in the General Fund of $17.78 million.
FY 2023/24 Operations Budget
APRIL 5, 2023
The Town’s ERAF revenue for FY 2022/23 was $2,339,064. This is an increase of $23,064 over budget of $2,316,000. Even though the Town has seen increases in ERAF recently, this funding remains at risk and should still be considered below-the-line for one-time use.
In FY 2022/23, Property Taxes represent approximately 72% of the Town General Fund Revenues. The total projected revenue from property taxes is $15,526,595, approximately 5.3% or $611,000 over the FY 2022/23 actuals estimate. Atherton’s changes in property values are based mainly on CPI growth, residential remodels, and new construction on razed properties.
The Town’s Property Tax Consultant HdL Companies suggests that the Town use a projected increase of 4.5 to 5.5 percent in Property Tax revenues. Since FY 2011/12, the Town has seen an Assessed Property Value growth of about 223% - roughly 7.5% per year. However, while some years are higher and some years are lower, the overall trend is a decrease in growth.
Below, staff projected the various property taxes based on current assumptions for Secured Taxes and Property Tax in lieu of VLF. There was a shortfall of VLF in FY 2020/21 $573,549 and FY 2021/22 in the amount of $341,984. We received FY 2020/21 VLF and $143,026 in August 2022 as partial payment for the FY 2021/22 VLF shortfall. Total amount we received for FY 2021/22 VLF is $1,204,764. There is still a shortfall of $198,958 as well as a new shortfall of $71,580 for FY 2022/23. This represents an uncharacteristically high Property Tax VLF in FY 2023/24 of $1,856,000. The property tax projection is 5.3% for FY 2022/23 property tax revenues and will be revisited when we receive our second installment. Secured property taxes represent 5% of the increase. This is a moderate estimate. Actual revenues may be higher.

The Town is not heavily reliant upon Sales & Use Tax revenue. There is a projected increase in Sales & Use Tax of $17,000 for a total of $321,000. The State advances Sales Tax funds based on prior year transactions and then trues up the following year.

Staff projects that building permit revenues will return to normal levels. As Building Department services are provided by contract, any projected increase in revenues will also reflect a corresponding increase in expenditures. Planning services are not revenue based an are offset by lower fees to encourage compliance and counter services.
Public Works Revenues
Public Works issues Encroachment Permits for construction activity. These permits are also anticipated to increase as we move to Spring/Summer months. The Department is also responsible for the maintenance and operation of all public infrastructure. Revenue from activities in the Building, Planning and Public Works Departments comprise the majority of fee revenue for the Town. Revenue is projected to increase $513,009 for a total of $2,886,000 for FY 2023/24.

reserves for the completion of the Town Center project.
Other Budgetary Issues
Financial Planning Model, Master Plan Projects, and Council Priorities In FY 2021/2022 staff created a Financial Planning Model to assist the Council in the discussion of the allocation of Unallocated General Funds over the next five (5) years to various identified Town priorities. During these discussions set aside buckets were used to illustrate funding towards various priorities. The set aside buckets are planning tools and do not lock the Town into funding in specific areas or specific projects.
The attached Financial Planning Model is updated with the FY 2023/24 projected budget and staff can walk through the Model during the April 5 Study Session. The Model is General Fund Only and the Operational Revenues and Expenditures match those in the Operational Budget.
Allocations for FY 2023/24 CIP have not been incorporated.
User Fee Study
In FY 2022/23, the Town will complete a Comprehensive Fee Study which will include revisions to cost allocation plans and calculation of a fully burdened staff rate. This Study will inform an update to the Town’s Master Fee Schedule. With the completion of the Town Center and some “time in facility” staff with the assistance of consultant Capital Accounting Partners will gather sufficient experience data that will assist in defining appropriate overhead costs. Most fees are set at full cost recovery; however, some fees, such as those for planning applications, are intentionally set below full cost recovery to encourage compliance and to account for customer service hours provided to applicants as part of the process. Valuation-driven fees, such as Building Permit fees and Plan Check fees, have remained consistent with the market since 2013. These fees were not adjusted by the labor component increases but are planned to be adjusted this year.
COP Lease Payments
The Town issued COP Lease Financing of $7.68m for cash flow purposes for the Town Center Project. The COP is a ten (10) year financing tool with a five (5) year call option and average annual debt service of approximately $861,000. The first semi-annual payment began December 2020. We have made $2.13m in payments on the COP Lease. The Town can exercise the call option in June 2025 and pay off the COP. The call option estimated payment amount is $4.7m.

Through term, the total lease financing payments is $8.6m of which includes interest of $915k.
Staff has appropriated the $861,871 amount for FY 2023/24 for its debt service payments.
ARPA Funding
The Town received $1.7 million from the American Rescue Plan. These funds may be used to respond to the public health emergency with respect to COVID-19; but are also fairly broad in their application. Funds must be obligated by December 31, 2024 and must be spent by the end of calendar year 2026. Current regulations allow local governments to utilize funds for expenditures in response to COVID-19 or to recoup negative economic impacts, such as revenue loss. There are also special categories of uses for the funds that the Town can take advantage of for special projects.
Staff has segregated these funds within the Town’s General Fund and they will be allocated as part of the FY 2023/24 Budget to eligible expenses (past and present). Below is recommendation of projects and expenditures to be considered for reimbursement through ARPA.
1. Town Center Project Construction COVID related delays: $453,135 (Capital Expenditures related to response)
2. Police Technology: The Town’s Axon Agreements for tasers, incorporating new integrated and transparency technologies for body cameras, interview cameras, and fleet vehicles. This will be part of a multi-year agreement that includes licensing, storage, and technology upgrades. The multi-year, integrated system agreement will represent an overall long-term savings to the Town and will vastly improve staff efficiency and data transparency- 3-year worth of cost - $288,000. (Government Services-Police and Public Health Safety)
3. Town administrative Offices & Park facilities Generator: $350,000 (Government ServicesPolice and Public Health Safety)
4. Drainage projects necessary to assist in heavy storm mitigation: $615,800 (Government Services-Police and Public Health Safety)
ARPA funds are non-recurring so their use should be applied primarily to non-recurring expenditures (i.e. one-time purchases or infrastructure).
Authorized Uses of ARPA Funds:
1. Replace lost public sector revenue;
2. Government services, such as roadway construction and maintenance, as well as other infrastructure related to government administration, staff, and administrative facilities; provision of police and other public safety services;
3. Responses to Public Health and Economic Impacts of COVID-19, including Public Communication efforts, Emergency Operations Centers & response equipment;
4. Public Sector Capacity Enhancements - Public Safety, Public Health, and Human Services;
5. Capital Expenditures related to response to public health and negative economic impacts;
6. Premium Pay to eligible workers performing essential work during the pandemic; and 7/ Water & Sewer Infrastructure necessary investments in water and sewer infrastructure.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT – STUDY SESSION
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
GEORGE RODERICKS, CITY MANAGER
FROM: ROBERT OVADIA, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: APRIL 5, 2023
SUBJECT: PROVIDE FEEDBACK AND DIRECTION REGARDING USE AND
MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE
PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Council provide feedback and direction to staff regarding the use and maintenance responsibilities associated with the public right-of-way.
BACKGROUND
As outlined in the California Streets and Highway Code (§5610) and the Atherton Municipal Code (§8.20.050 – Nuisance and §12.06.020 – Encroachments), responsibility for maintenance of the public right-of-way beyond the improved roadway (paved travel way) is the responsibility of the fronting property owner. These codes are excerpted below.
The California Streets and Highway Code (§5610) states:
“The owners of lots or portions of lots fronting on any portion of a public street or place when that street or place is improved or if and when the area between the property line of the adjacent property and the street line is maintained as a park or parking strip, shall maintain any sidewalk in such condition that the sidewalk will not endanger persons or property and maintain it in a condition which will not interfere with the public convenience in the use of those works or areas save and except as to those conditions created or maintained in, upon, along, or in connection with such sidewalk by any person other than the owner, under and by virtue of any permit or right granted to him by law or by the city authorities in charge thereof, and such persons shall be under a like duty in relation thereto.”
The Atherton Municipal Code outlines property owner responsibilities to maintain their frontages in both Chapter 8.20, Nuisance Abatement, and Chapter 12.06, Encroachments (Emphasis Added).
Section 8.20.050, Unlawful materials, conditions, and activities (nuisances per se), declares the
Right-of-Way Use and Maintenance
APRIL 5, 2023
following as nuisances:
F. Overgrown, dead, decayed, diseased or hazardous trees or other vegetation (with the exception of compost as defined in Section 8.20.030); weeds and other vegetation likely to harbor rats, vermin or nuisances, that constitute a fire hazard, or vegetation that creates a vehicular, bicycle or pedestrian hazard or otherwise interferes with public circulation or which impedes drainage within the public right-of-way or watercourse;” Q. Logs, curbs, rocks, fences, screenings, sand, dirt, yard waste, compost materials or other similar obstacles, that create a vehicular, bicycle or pedestrian hazard or otherwise interfere with public circulation or which impede drainage within the public right-of-way or watercourse;
Section 8.20.060 further states:
“It is declared a public nuisance for any landowner or person leasing, occupying, directly controlling or having possession of any property in this town to maintain any condition described in Section 8.20.050 of this chapter, or to maintain any attractive nuisance. It is not the intent of the town that this chapter preempts any private nuisance action or any and all other legal remedies available to private parties. (Ord. 490 § 18 (part), 1996)” Section 12.06.020, Purpose and Intent, states:
“It is the intent of the encroachment regulations to preserve the rural nature of the town and to leave the lot frontage strip portion of the public right-of-way safe, clear of obstacles and impervious surfaces, for drainage, parking, access and other similar uses. It is the intent of this chapter to clarify that it is the responsibility of adjoining property owners to maintain such areas. (Ord. 503 § 1 (part), 1999)”
The lot frontage strip is further defined as “that portion of the public right-of-way between the property line and the paved street.”
Together, these Code Sections impute maintenance and liability to the adjacent property owner for improvements within that right-of-way. There have been changes in the law that will require that will require the Town’s Ordinances to be updated, but those changes only serve to further clarify the overall responsibility.
The Town has consistently advised property owners that all property street frontages (including side and rear frontages) are the responsibility of the adjacent property owners to maintain. This includes sidewalks, gravel areas, trees and landscaping, drainage, etc. and the responsibility to correct issues when they arise and/or complaints are received. Property owners are also advised to maintain drainage paths along their frontages, repair sidewalks, trim and maintain landscaping and trees in the right-of-way. Over the years, the Town has done extensive public outreach with regular articles in the Athertonian as well as via community meetings.
When frontage trees fall in the right-of-way, Public Works crews or contractors will clear the paved roadway to maintain public access on the roadway and stack the associated debris in front

of the tree owner’s property for removal. The property owner is notified of their responsibility to remove the debris. PG&E will sometimes also stack tree debris associated with line safety trimmings on or on front of the associated property for removal.
ANALYSIS
Though many property owners take pride in their property frontage and landscaping, there are some property owners that do not address issues in a timely manner. Maintenance issues include:
• Ruts in the unpaved areas adjacent to the roadway
• Shrubbery/landscaping encroaching into the required clear zones • Tree maintenance, including addressing low branches and dead or dangerous trees • Trip hazards, uplifted/damaged roadways and other issues caused by tree roots • Sidewalk/right-of-way trip hazards
• Blocking drainage paths and causing upstream backups, including maintenance of driveway and landscape culverts
• Broken or uplifted drainage swales or gutters
• Timely removal of debris from the right-of-way
• Large obstructions such as boulders and tree stumps
Failure to maintain these and other issues within the frontage strip can at the very least be an eyesore and at the worst, result in injury to persons and property. When issues of liability arise, such as a trip and fall, falling debris, damaged vehicles, or other personal injury; property owners are advised of and often surprised by their liability. The need for further education and consistent application is becoming more evident with sidewalk trip hazards, ruts along various roadways, and frontage trees that have fallen in various locations (see sample images).
Several properties through Town have unmitigated issues along or associated with their frontages that have been brought to the Town’s attention. Though many issues are resolved in a timely manner, other issues can be expensive to address and/or may adversely impact heritage trees. There remain property owners that are not aware and surprised to find that the responsibilities along the street frontage lay with the property owners. Staff is seeking feedback as to how best to enhance education around the maintenance responsibilities of property owners and the associated liability; and ensure that the Council is consistent in the message to the community as to the issues. This clear direction is needed to support enforcement and abatement of these issues.
This feedback will also be important with regards to additional improvements planned with the implementation of the Town’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, where the paved roadways may be widened to provide bike lanes and where walkway improvements are desired. Additional discussion may be needed with regards to the potential for development to fund and/or construct identified improvements along their frontages or to transit stops concurrent with their development.
