June 21, 2023
assessments or contribution rates are calculated annually based on agency claims history and any increases in loss recovery due to excessive claims losses.
The Town maintains an active Workers’ Compensation Risk Management Program.

COPS - CITIZEN’S OPTION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY
The COPS Office was created as a result of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994. As a component of the Department of Justice, the mission of the COPS Office is to advance community policing in jurisdictions of all sizes across the nation. Community policing focuses on crime and social disorder through the delivery of police services that includes aspects of traditional law enforcement, as well as prevention, problem-solving, community engagement, and partnerships. In FY 1996/97, the California State Legislature created the Citizen’s Option for Public Safety (COPS) Program. Funds have been available through the State of California to local entities in the form of Citizen’s Option for Public Safety (COPS) Grant. The Town in recent years has received approximately $160,000 per year from the grant. Funds must be used for front-line law enforcement only. The Town anticipates receipt of this funding on an annual basis and funds are used for sworn personnel salary related expenditures.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND
The five-year CIP proposes projects to analyze, repair or improve Town infrastructure, and the funding for those projects. The ten (10) projects are categorized into three areas:
• Streets & Transportation
• Drainage
• Town Buildings, Park and Facilities
Projects have been developed based on needs identified by the City Council, residents, staff, and adopted master plans.
The 1st year (FY 2023/24) of the CIP is incorporated into the Town’s Budget and is the only year for which the City Council applies available funding. The remaining four (4) years of the CIP reflect proposed projects and funding. These “out years” are revised annually to reflect changes in City Council priorities, direction, needs and funding availability. The CIP is reviewed by the Town’s Planning Commission each year for consistency with the Town’s General Plan. This year’s CIP will be reviewed by the Planning Commission at their May 24 meeting. The Commission will send their comments in writing to the City Council prior to the Council’s June 21 meeting at which the Council is scheduled to adopt the budget, inclusive of the CIP.
The 5-year CIP is presented to City Council tonight in the Study Session workshop format to allow for questions and discussion of individual projects, general discussion about broader objectives to be considered for future proposed projects and priorities for allocating funds. In broad areas of the five largest CIP expenditures, this year’s CIP recommends:
FY 2023/24 Town Operations Budget
June 21, 2023
• $1.9 million for the Traffic Safety Improvements Program; • $1.3 million for Bicycle & Pedestrian Program;
• $1.6 million for the Road Maintenance Program;
• $3.3 million for Drainage Improvements Program; and
• $0.3 million for Park Improvements;
The total allocation for the 5-year period from FY 2023/24 through FY 2027/28 totals nearly $26.7 million – the largest expenditures attributable to the Holbrook-Palmer Park Access and Circulation Project.
The Special Parcel Tax provided funding to maintain police emergency response services, street repair and maintenance, drainage facility repair and maintenance, and other capital improvements.
The Special Parcel Tax generated approximately $1.86 million annually and was divided 20% to Police Services and 80% to capital projects. The sunset of the Special Parcel Tax required the discontinuation of certain programs and projects. Allocation of the remaining balance of Special Parcel funds is proposed in the FY 2023/24 budget.
During the most recent workshop, staff implemented changes directed by the Council and were minor changes and/or updates to the Park, Drainage and Bike Pedestrian projects based on that Council direction. Below are the changes to the CIP program:
Park Master Plan Implementation Program #56063 – Page 27 of the CIP Program Booklet- was updated to include:

As shown below, the Town will meet its new 30% reserve requirements total of $5,775,078 in FY 2023/24 and projects an unallocated reserve that is 21% of projected expenditures.
Unallocated Fund Balance
Any remaining fund balance not reserved or committed is designated as Unallocated Fund Balance. The projected unallocated available fund balance for FY 2023/24 is $4,013,951. This Unallocated Fund Balance represents funds that have not yet been assigned. With Council direction, the unallocated reserve balance can be appropriated towards operational use, capital projects or to pay down liabilities.
GANN LIMIT CALCULATION
The Finance Director calculated the FY 2023/24 GANN limit using the percentage change in population and the cost of living provided by the State Department of Finance. The GANN limit for 2023/24 is $16,667,794. The Town is in compliance with the GANN limit requirement for FY 2023/24.
MASTER FEE SCHEDULE CPI ADJUSTMENT
The Town is currently conducting a User Fee Study that is a detailed review that includes a cost allocation plan, hourly rate calculation, and user fee study. The Master Fee Study will entail all fees charged by all Town Departments and a detailed cost analysis of user fees. The objectives are FY 2023/24 Expenditures $19,250,260

to ensure that the Town is using comprehensive overhead rates and to accurately account for the true cost of providing Town’s various services. Staff recommended the Town consider a regular escalator based on a local Consumer Price Index in the periods between adoption of the fee resolution and the next comprehensive fee review. The fee schedule includes the fully loaded hourly rate for staff. The escalator is based on labor cost adjustments and have been adjusted since the last Master Fee Study. During the FY 2022/23 budget, the fees on the Master Fee Schedule that have a labor component were increased by 6.9% and there was an adjustment of 6.9% to Planning fees. No changes have been made to valuation-driven fees until a fee study is complete.
Since the Town is currently in the User Fee Study stages, it recommended that no escalator be instituted at this time. The Master Fee Schedule will remain as is until the new study is completed in the next couple of months.
ARPA FUNDING
The Town received $1.707 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 have 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 apply and adopt through resolution for ARPA reimbursement to General Fund for allocations of expenditures.
1. Town Center Project Construction COVID related delays: $925,000 (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 overall long-term savings to the Town and will vastly improve staff efficiency and data transparency- 1-year worth of cost - $96,000. (Government Services-Police and Public Health Safety)
3. Town administrative Offices & Park facilities Generator: $200,000 (Government ServicesPolice and Public Health Safety)
4. Drainage projects necessary to assist in heavy storm mitigation: $486,000 (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:
FY 2023/24 Town Operations Budget
June 21, 2023
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.
CONCLUSION
This budget presents a roadmap for accomplishing the goals and objectives of the City Council within existing resources and core strategy of financial stability. We continue to be fiscally prudent with our resources but are mindful of operational and infrastructure needs. The Town has many long-term infrastructure needs as priorities focus on CIP Master Plan projects.

WAGES – PROGRESSION WITHIN STEPS: Employees are eligible to progress from Step A to Step B six (6) months after their hire date or date of entry into the job classification, provided they have received a satisfactory performance evaluation conducted by their supervisor.

Fair Labor Standards Act and California labor laws. Management employees are exempt from overtime.
All compensable overtime must be authorized by the Department Head or designated representative in advance of being worked. If prior authorization is not feasible because of emergency conditions a confirming authorization must be made on the next regular working day following the date on which the overtime was worked.
Any authorized time worked in excess of forty (40) hours in the applicable designated FLSA workweek shall be considered overtime and shall be compensable at the rate of one and one-half (1½) times the employee's regular rate of pay. Compensatory time off may be taken in lieu of overtime payment. For purposes of this section, Overtime, as defined in applicable state or federal law, the term “time worked” excludes time in paid status but not worked (e.g., paid sick, vacation, holiday, disability, or other compensatory time off.) Compensatory time off shall be at a time mutually agreeable to the employee and the Department Head. Compensatory time off which accrues in excess of forty-eight (48) hours will be liquidated by monetary payment during the month of October. An employee shall not be required to reduce a scheduled workday in whole or in part to avoid the payment for overtime worked on another scheduled workday.

PAY FOR TEMPORARY OR INTERIM APPOINTMENT TO A HIGHER CLASSIFICATION: An employee who is temporarily appointed and performs the work of a position in a higher classification temporarily vacated by its incumbent either covered by or outside of employees covered by this resolution for more than five (5) consecutive workdays shall be paid five percent (5%) above the regular rate he or she received in his or her regular lower classification for such time as working out of class. However, if the position in the higher classification is vacant (has no incumbent) and the employee is given an interim appointment to such position pending the permanent filling of such position, he or she shall be paid five percent (5%) above the regular rate he or she received in his or her regular lower classification, or the rate of the first step of the range assigned to the higher classification, whichever is greater for the period of time working in that position. In no event shall such pay exceed the maximum of the range of the classification in which the employee is temporarily assigned. Payment shall commence with the first (1st) workday of the temporary or interim assignment and shall continue, including holidays, during the period of temporary or interim assignment. Such appointment shall be in writing by the Department Head and approved by the City Manager or his designated representative; however, any appointment to a temporary Department Head classification shall be approved by the City Manager. Only the City Council may authorize a temporary appointment to the position of City Manager.

About the Capital Improvement Program
The Town of Atherton’s Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) summarizes anticipated resources and their estimated uses for major infrastructure and other capital construction, improvement, and maintenance projects.
The CIP is a five-year planning tool that identifies anticipated capital improvements and their funding sources from fiscal years 2023/24 through 2027/28. The CIP does not appropriate funds, but rather, it functions as a budgeting and planning tool which supports appropriations that are made through adoption of the annual budget. The CIP is updated annually to reflect the latest community priorities, infrastructure master plans, completed projects, updated project cost estimates and available revenue sources.
Master Plans
Atherton’s City Council commissioned a number of Master Plans and studies, starting in FY 2012-13, in order to become well informed on the status of infrastructure needs.
These master plans, evaluations and studies are for the following Town-owned facilities:
• Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan
• Holbrook-Palmer Park Master Plan
• Civic Center Master Plan
• Storm Drainage Master Plan
• Pavement Management Program Update
• Neighborhood Traffic Management Action Plan
• Street Light Inventory
The purpose of the CIP is to incorporate the results from these Plans, along with other input including resident requests, to identify and describe capital projects that will be of long-term benefit to the residents of Atherton. As such, the programs and projects enclosed in this CIP are dedicated to enhancing accessibility, safety, and the built environment throughout the Town by targeting various transportation, drainage, park, and facilities improvements.
Capital Improvement Program
Fiscal Years 2023/24 through 2027/2028
4 The CIP projects were selected based on the following factors:
• Implementation of the Town’s General Plan Guidelines
• Town Council and Community direction
• Implementation of accepted and approved Master Plans
• Implementation of Facilities’ planning and priorities • Maintenance needs of roadways and safety of roadway users • Ability to improve transportation deficiencies
• Drainage facilities improvement needs
The five-year CIP identifies the highest priority capital needs that can be addressed within the available and forecasted revenue. These capital needs are matched to their eligible funding consisting of the previous year’s fund balances and five-year revenue projections identified by the Finance department.
CIP Document Organization
The CIP is organized to serves two primary purposes. First, it describes funding sources and discusses their sources and uses. Next, it provides a description of the planned transportation, drainage, park, and facility capital improvements developed through an examination of the Town’s capital needs.
As such this CIP is organized into three parts.
I. Introduction: This provides an overview of the purposes of the Capital Improvement Program.
II. Detail of Funding Sources and Revenues: This section describes the anticipated funding and revenue sources supporting the projects and programs contained in this CIP.
III. CIP Project List and Budgeting Schedule: This section provides a detailed overview of the projects and budgeting of project expenditures in relation to available forecasted funding over the next five years.

6 II. FUNDING DESCRIPTIONS
The Town of Atherton’s Capital Projects contained in this CIP are financed through a variety of funding and revenue sources. These funding sources may include:
General Fund
Gas Tax
Atherton Channel Fund
Measure S - Special Parcel Tax
Measure A
Measure M
Measure W
General Fund (Capital Improvement)
The General Fund provides funding for the Town’s general programs and day-today operations. This includes Town management, administration, parks and recreation operations, public works operations, law enforcement, trash hauling, special operational programs, planning, and general Town services. It also includes an annual payment to mitigate accessibility risks from ABAG Plan, the Joint Powers Authority that provides liability insurance.
When accounting for General Fund use, the fund description on the individual project pages shows as Capital Improvement. The General Fund includes the money raised by the local property tax for a given year as well as one-time grant funds received for specific projects and purposes. The intent is to budget annually a certain amount from the General Fund to address Town priorities.
Measure S (Special Parcel Tax)
Approved by a 2/3rds vote of Atherton residents in November 2013, Measure S (Special Parcel Tax) is an ordinance that continues the existing Town of Atherton Special Parcel Tax for four years. The most recent parcel tax expired in FY 2017/18.
The Special Parcel Tax was not renewed in 2018. There are still residual funds that will be used for authorized capital project infrastructure needs, with available capital improvement funds programmed in FY 2023/24.
The Special Parcel Tax provided funding to maintain police emergency response services, street repair and maintenance, drainage facility repair and maintenance, and other capital improvements. The Special Parcel Tax generated approximately
Capital Improvement Program
Fiscal Years 2023/24 through 2027/2028
7 $1.86 million annually and was divided 20% to Police Services and 80% to capital projects. The sunset of the Special Parcel Tax required the discontinuation of certain programs and projects.
Measure A
Measure A is a voter approved half-cent sales tax for countywide transportation projects and programs. In 2009, county voters overwhelmingly approved a reauthorization of Measure A through 2033.
The purpose of these funds are to maintain local streets and roads, repair potholes and sidewalks, develop alternative transportation options such as bicycling and pedestrian programs, and to develop and implement traffic operations and safety projects.
Measure A dollars are distributed on a formula allocation based on population and the number of road-miles. Atherton receives approximately $370,000 annually through Measure A.
Measure M
________________________________________________________________________ Approved by voters in November 2010, the Congestion Management Agency for San Mateo County levies a $10 registration fee on vehicles registered in San Mateo County. This Measure is set to expire in 2035 (25 years).
These funds help to maintain neighborhood streets, fix potholes, provide transportation options, improve traffic circulation, reduce congestion, reduce water pollution from oil and gas runoff, and provide safe routes to schools.
Approximately 50% of Measure M revenues fund Countywide Transportation Programs, and the other 50% is formula-allocated to local agencies. The Town of Atherton receives approximately $75,000 per year from Measure M.

Fiscal Years 2023/24 through 2027/2028
8 Measure W
________________________________________________________________________ Approved by voters in November 2018, Measure W is a half-cent sales tax on qualified retail transactions for use on transportation improvements and maintain affordable transit. This Measure is set to expire in 30 years (2048).
The distribution of funds are shaped by the San Mateo County Congestion Relief Plan. The Plan includes the five (5) following investment categories:
• Countywide Highway Congestion Improvements
• Local safety, pothole and congestion relief improvements • Bicycle and pedestrian improvements
• Regional Transit Connections
• County public transportation improvements.
Ten percent (10%) of the annual revenue is allocated to the County of San Mateo and the cites of the County for transportation investments using a distribution formula that is based 50% on population and 50% on road miles (adjusted annually). The Town’s allocation of the Measure W funds is approximately 1.74% of the City/County distribution, which is projected to be approximately $145,000.
The Town may use Measure W funds for street paving and pothole repair, bicycle/pedestrian safety projects, promoting alternative modes of transportation, planning and implementing traffic and safety projects including signal coordination, and implementing advanced technologies and communications of the roadway system.
Gas Tax
Atherton receives a formula allocation of funds based upon population and lane miles. In FY 2023-24 the Town will receive approximately $205,000 in regular Gas Tax revenues. This amount is augmented with additional revenues from the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB 1). Effective November 1, 2017, the gasoline excise tax was increased 12 cents per gallon and the excise tax on diesel was increased 20 cents per gallon. SB 1 also increased the vehicle registration tax effective January 1, 2018 and an additional vehicle registration tax will be applied to zero emission vehicles effective July 1, 2020. As a result, the total Gas Tax
Capital Improvement Program
Fiscal Years 2023/24 through 2027/2028
9 allocations to the Town is expected to be approximately $375,000 in FY 2023/24.
With the proposed funding through the Capital Improvements Program, the Town will be able to achieve the Maintenance of Effort requirements to continue to receive SB1 funds.
Atherton Channel Fund
Fees collected by the Town to finance drainage and related improvements/ repairs and environmental monitoring for those portions of the Channel for which the Town is responsible.

17 Project Type: Streets & Transportation
Project Name: Road Maintenance Program - #56003
Project Description: This is an annual program
combining patching, sealing and overlays to maintain
roads in a cost-effective manner. Every two years, an
engineering survey of pavement condition is performed
by independent assessors, who determine a pavement
condition index (PCI) and also recommends specific
maintenance strategies for each road. Staff analyzes the data, conducts physical inspections, and recommends an
annual program to cost-effectively maintain roads. The
funds proposed for this program include the allocation of SB-1, Gas Tax, Measures A, M and W, and Capital Improvement Funds in the amount of $1,580,000 for FY 2023/24. Funds associated with the Roadway Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) approved through SB-1 in 2017 are subject to maintenance of effort requirements which is supported by the proposed Capital Improvement funds in the current and future years.
The streets are to be determined based on their PCI index listing when it comes out in November along with visual assessments and other priorities. Special attention will be paid the Town’s roadside drainage systems to ensure that the edges of pavement do not create situations that could be hazardous to pedestrians or impede drainage.
• Two-inch grind and overlay (on various streets throughout Town) – estimate $850,000 • Maintenance Dig-outs (on various streets throughout Town) – estimate $360,000 • Cape Seal/Slurry Seal (on various streets throughout Town) – estimate $370,000

21 Project Type: Drainage
Project Name: Drainage Improvements Program - #56034
Project Description: In FY 2013-14, the City Council approved an update the Town’s Drainage Master Plan. The Master Plan identified Tier 1 projects, those with the highest need based on improving safety, reducing flooding, and mitigating environmental degradation as all being in the upper reach of the Atherton Channel.
Projects that are identified as the Town’s responsibility will be assessed for deficiencies. Funding in the first year of the CIP is proposed for engineering and surveying to identify areas of responsibility, followed by design of high-priority improvements, and required environmental permitting. This process typically takes a year or more to complete. Future years include funding for project construction but are merely placeholder amounts for fiscal planning.
This program also includes the implementation of a Green Infrastructure Plan and as otherwise required by the Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit issued by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Green infrastructure improvements would include: required stormwater treatment measures associated with the Selby Lane Bicycle Lanes Project, roadway improvements, and potentially on Lloyden Drive (at Fair Oaks) and on Polhemus Avenue as identified in the Green Infrastructure Master Plan. Funding shown for FY 2023/24 is in addition to carryover funds from previous fiscal years.
Funding for the following improvements is estimated at:
• Atherton Channel Assessment and Relining Upstream of Alameda de las Pulgas – Funded over multiple fiscal years $400,000 (FY 2022/23), $2,400,000 (FY 2023/24) • Green Infrastructure Plan Implementation – estimate $200,000 (FY 2023/24) • Atherton Channel culvert and detention system improvements at Alameda de las Pulgas and Las Lomitas Elementary School – estimate $450,000 (FY 2023/24), $2,750,000 (FY 2024/25). Pending approval of $2,000,000 in grant funding. • El Camino Real Long-Term Solutions – estimate $250,000 (FY2023/24), $2,750,000 (FY 2024/25).
