Virtual Meetings May-June - Staff Report

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: May 24, 2022
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Scott Rennie, City Attorney
Agenda Title: Virtual Meetings in May and June
Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution finding that the COVID-19 statewide emergency remains in effect and that state and local officials continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing, and directing the Council’s Citizen Advisory Bodies to make consistent findings.

Strategic Focus Area
Fiscal and Organizational Sustainability
Background
Governor Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency on March 4, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequently issued a series of Executive Orders (N-25-20, N-29-20, and N-08-21) that effectively suspended certain provisions of the Brown Act governing the use of teleconferencing by local legislative bodies and allowed them to hold fully virtual meetings. The Brown Act was subsequently amendment by enactment of AB 361 in 2021 to include new requirements for holding fully virtual meetings during a state of emergency proclaimed by the Governor.

The Brown Act, in Government Code Section 54953(b)(3), typical requires a city legislative body that this uses teleconferencing to: (1) post agendas at all teleconference locations from which members will participate, (2) identify each location in the notice and agenda of the meeting or proceeding, (3) make teleconference location accessible to the public and (4) maintain at least a quorum of the members of the legislative body in locations within the boundaries of the city. Under Government Code Section 54953(e) as amended by AB 361, fully virtual meetings are allowed without complying with these requirements during a proclaimed state of emergency if either:

1. State or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing; or,

2. The legislative body determines by majority vote that as a result of the emergency meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.

After the initial teleconferenced meeting the legislative body must reconsider the state of emergency and determine whether either of the above circumstances continue every 30 days in order to continue to teleconference without complying with the requirements in section 54953(b)(3) listed above.

The City Council found both circumstances listed both existed and began holding fully virtual public 5

Virtual Meetings May-June - Staff Report
meetings on September 28, 2021. The Council reconsidered findings at least every 30 days between September 28, 2021 and March 8, 2022 and affirmed both findings. On April 26, 2022, the Council found that state and local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing.

The current San Mateo County Health Officer order related to COVID-19 issued on February 16, 2022, remains in effect and advises that individuals should continue to follow guidance released by the United States Department of Health & Human Services (“HHS”) including their sub-agency United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), California Department of Public Health (“CDPH”), and California Department of Social Services (“CDSS”).

On February 25, 2022, Governor Newsom lifted many of his previous emergency order’s related to COVID-19 and left in place critical measures that support the state’s ongoing response and recovery efforts. By mid-March 2022, transmission and hospitalize rates were low and stable and the circumstances appeared appropriate to transition back to in-person meetings. However, since then transmission and case rates have been steadily rising and the BA.2 omicron variant has emerged as the dominant variant in the country and state.

On April 13, 2022, California Public Health Officer Dr. Tomás J. Aragón issued a statement noting that the rising transmissions “underscores the need for Californians to remain vigilant and protect themselves and their communities by getting vaccinated and boosted.” At this time, a vaccine has not been approved for children under 5 years.

On May 6, 2022, the chief of San Mateo County Health, Louise Rogers issued a statement encouraging the public “to take the important actions we can to protect ourselves and our loved ones” in response to increasing COVID-19 transmission in the community and rising COVID-19 hospitalizations.

On May 13, 2022, the CDC reported that the 7-day moving average of new cases had increased by 30.7% over the previous average. The CDC continues to recommend that individuals who are not up to date on COVID-19 vaccinations stay six feet apart from other people in indoor public places. The CDC also continues to advise that physical distancing along with other risk-reduction measures help reduce the chances of spreading COVID-19. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus.

As of May 19, 2022, the spread of COVID-19 in the county was increasing and COVID-19 related hospitalization rates and ICU utilization in the county were rising.

The current emergency COVID-19 regulations of the California Department of Industrial Relations Division Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) require employers to inform employees that strategies to decease the spread of COVID-19 are most effective when used in combination including physical distancing. (California Code of Regulations Title 8, Section 3205). COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Temporary Standards
Analysis
Transmission rates of COVID-19 are increasing, and the risk of COVID-19 variants are still unknown.

COVID-19 remains a significant public health hazard, particularly for unvaccinated individuals and 6

Page 3 of 3 ends

Virtual Meetings May-June - Staff Report
continues to spread and impact nearly all parts of city operations.

Reducing the circumstances under which people come into close contact remains an important component of Belmont’s COVID-19 response strategy. However, the open nature of public meetings makes it is difficult to enforce compliance with vaccination, physical distancing, masking, cough and sneeze etiquette, or other safety measures. Meetings of the city’s legislative bodies incur indoors for sustained periods of time which increases the risk to members of the legislative bodies and attending members of the public to Delta variant transmission and infection. In addition, the non-emergency teleconferencing requirements of the Brown Act do not provide a safe alternative for legislative body members who may be at high risk of infection or are susceptible to more severe illness as a result of infection because those rules require that the public be allowed to attend at the teleconference location.

Staff concludes that the Council may reasonably find, based on the available public health information pertaining to COVID-19, that meeting in person by the city’s legislative bodies at this time would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees. Staff also concludes that the Council may also reasonably find, as an independent basis for continuing virtual meetings, that the County Health Officer recommends individuals follow CDC guidance which continues to encourage physical distancing as risk reduction strategy, and that CalOSHA continues to promote physical distancing as a prevention strategy in the workplace. Council may therefore find that state and local officials continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing in settings such as legislative body meetings.

Trends
Use of money and property
a) Taxes – The majority of Sales Tax and Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT) received in July are related to June activities, which are subject to an accounting adjustment. COVID-19 impacts are occurring. *) Beginning with the December 2020 monthly financial report, Property Tax in lieu of VLF and excess ERAF are reported under Property Taxes, not Other Taxes. g) Miscellaneous– This revenue is subject to an accounting adjustment during the fiscal year closing process related to claims liability. i) Operating Transfers In – The budget assumes operating transfers, which will be recorded at the end of the fiscal year based on actual results. k) Urban redevelopment - The Successor Agency has been dissolved, which required payments in excess of the budget. e) Charges for Services – The Sewer Use Fee (Collection & Treatment), budgeted for $17M, is included as part of the City’s Property Tax bill to be received semi-annually, typically in April and December. d) Intergovernmental - The revenue will be received in a future reporting period and includes activities related to the prior fiscal year, which are subject to accounting adjustment. h) Other Financing Sources – The budget assumes a sale of $3.8M in housing capital assets which is anticipated to occur in a subsequent period. j) Public safety - First quarter payments of $1.6M to BSCFD and $2.1M to San Mateo Consolidated Fire Department. f) Use of Money and Property–the LAIF interest rate continues to decline resulting in lower investment returns. b) Licenses and Permits – Business License revenue will be received in a future reporting period and includes activities related to the prior fiscal year, which are subject to accounting adjustment. c) Miscellaneous – The budget variance is primarily due to the timing of the annual CSUS Public Service Fee, which will be received in a future reporting period. -$650

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: May 24, 2022
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Nima Mazhari, Public Works, (650) 730-5706, [email protected] Agenda Title: SB1 Local Streets and Roads Project List
Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution approving a list of proposed projects for FY 2022-23 funded by The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

Strategic Focus Area
Infrastructure and Mobility
Background
On April 28, 2017, after years of advocating for a solution to the state’s transportation crisis, the Legislature passed and the Governor signed SB 1 (Beall, 2017), also known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, increasing transportation funding and instituting much-needed reforms. SB 1 provides the first significant, stable, and on-going increase in state transportation funding in more than two decades.to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs on both the state highway and local streets and road systems.

SB 1 emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency in the delivery of California’s transportation programs. The City must adopt a list of all projects proposed to receive funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by SB 1 by resolution, which must include a description and location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement. Cities and counties receiving RMRA funds must also adopt a list of all projects proposed to receive funding that includes a description and location of the proposed projects.

In May 2021, the City Council approved a five-year pavement plan for FY 2022-2026. The plan consists of the City allocating an average of $2.4 million in street maintenance repairs for the current five-year paving plan, with RMRA funds of approximately $500k per year.

Analysis
Funding from SB1 will provide for the preparation of contract documents and the construction cost for the rehabilitation of the following streets in FY 22/23:
• Lyon Avenue between Mezes Avenue and Alamedas De Las Pulgas • Middle Road between Davey Glen Road and Notre Dame Avenue The useful life of the treatment is anticipated to be fifteen (15) years. It is anticipated that construction will begin in June 2023 and that construction will be completed in September 2023. It is best to limit the 22

number of streets to be rehabilitated with this funding source since the SB1 dollar amount is small. Lyon Avenue and Middle Road will be part of larger annual lists of streets to be repaired.

Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution to award the contract to O’Grady Paving Inc. for an amount not to exceed $616,076.75, approving a 15% construction contingency of $92,411.50 for unforeseen conditions for a total amount of $708,488.25 and authorize the City Manager to execute a contract for the Belmont Pavement Preservation Project, City Contract Number 2022-608.

Background
On March 22, 2022, Council authorized advertisement for sealed bids approving award of City Contract Number 2022-0608, Belmont Pavement Preservation Project, to the lowest responsible bidder for an amount not to exceed $546,470.50. $467,000 of this project is funded through the Federal Surface Transportation Funds (STP) and the One Bay Are Grant (OBAG) program for roadway improvements.

The City received three bids that were opened on May 5, 2022. All three bids exceeded the engineer’s estimate and the authorized contract amount. The results were as follows:

O’Grady Paving Inc. $616,076.75
American Asphalt Repair & Resurfacing Co., Inc. $657,165.26 VSS International, Inc. $720,120.00.

Analysis
City staff reviewed each line-item costs of the three bids and has concluded that it is in the best interest of the City to award this contract to the lowest bidder, O’Grady Paving Inc. Due to increased material cost and a competitive bidding climate staff does not believe that the City will obtain a lower bid if this job is re-advertised and recommends the award of the contract to O’Grady Paving, Inc.

Agreement with Recology Resolving Dispute Over the 2021 Solid Waste Rates

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: May 24, 2022
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Peter Brown, Public Works, 650-595-7459, [email protected] Alberto Espinoza, Public Works, 650-595-7465, [email protected] Agenda Title: Agreement with Recology Resolving Dispute Over the 2021 Solid Waste Rates Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a settlement agreement with Recology San Mateo County (Recology) resolving a dispute related to the 2021 solid waste rates and allocating a portion of the Transitional Rate Stabilization Fees (TRSF) to offset costs during the 2021 rate year.

Strategic Focus Area
Fiscal and Organizational Sustainability
Background
Under the Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement (Franchise Agreement) between the City of Belmont and Recology San Mateo County (Recology) for solid waste, recyclable materials, and organic materials collection services, Recology may charge Belmont residential and commercial customers no more than the Maximum Rates approved by the City Council. Belmont is a member of the South Bayside Waste Management Authority, but unlike other members, is not subject to revenue reconciliation at the end of each rate year and follows a maximum rate setting process instead. Article 11 of the Franchise Agreement provides for an annual review of the Maximum Rates that Recology may charge for regular and unscheduled services. Each year, Recology proposes adjustments to the Maximum Rates based upon the methodology in the Franchise Agreement, City staff analyzes Recology’s proposal, and the City Council approves Maximum Rates that Recology may charge.

In 2018, during the negotiations process for the Franchise Agreement, the City and Recology anticipated the 2021 rate year would be a transitional year from the old franchise agreement to the new Franchise Agreement and agreed on a forecast model that set Total Contractor’s Compensation of $7,888,920 as the foundation for setting maximum rates for rate year 2021 and beyond. The parties expected the new contract cost would result in a ramp up of rates to cover increases in the new contract compensation starting in 2021.

Given the City’s concern of using 2016 expenses to develop the projection of rates for 2021, Recology had agreed to provide the actual costs for 2021 for the 2022 rate setting period using the SBWMA – wide methodology for contractor’s compensation, plus disposal costs ($7,888,920). Under this approach, the actual 2021 costs will be used to establish the base compensation for the City, or in other words, become the new starting point for projections through 2035. The total revenues, including the proposed adjustments for the rate stabilization fund, will be compared to the actual 2021 costs. Any difference, 30

Agreement with Recology Resolving Dispute Over the 2021 Solid Waste Rates shortfall or surplus, will be reduced from rate year 2022 or added over a one-year (2022), or two-year (2022 and 2023), period at the City’s discretion.

The parties also agreed that the then current Maximum Rate for the 20-gallon residential cart did not adequately reflect the true cost of service for that cart size. The parties therefore agreed in Franchise Agreement Section 11.02 to make specific rate adjustments for the 20-gallon cart over a three-year rate setting period (2019 - 2021).

The rate adjustments were deposited to a transitional rate stabilization fund (referred to as the TRSF) collected and held by Recology as city funds. Section 11.02 anticipates the 20-gallon cart rate adjustments beginning in 2019 would help ease the transition to the new cost of service rate foundation and that the funds in the TRSF could be used to offset Maximum Rates in calendar year 2021 and 2022. The cumulative balance of the TRSF collected for calendar years 2019 – 2021 is approximately $458,007.

Once the baseline costs for contractors’ compensation (Recology) have been established for 2021 based on actual costs projections for 2022 and beyond can be calculated. The general approach for future year rate adjustments (2023 – 2035) is based on changes in specific cost indices for the primary cost categories outlined by Recology. For example, in 2023 the baseline costs, actual 2021 costs, will be adjusted by the change in the specific cost indices from 2021 to 2022. These cost indices include CPI-U, CPI-U-Motor Fuel, CPI-W, etc. The contract has outlined the each of the specific cost indices that will be used in escalating the baseline costs for future year rate adjustments.

On November 24, 2020, the City Council held a public hearing to consider Recology’s proposed adjustments to the Maximum Rates and adopted resolution number 2020-102 revising the Maximum Rates for Rate Year 2021. Recology informed the City that they believed the 2021 Maximum Rates approved by the Council were not set correctly. Recology claims to have received less revenue in 2021 as a result and that the alleged error would carry forward in the rate setting process affecting future maximum rates to their detriment. City staff and Recology disagree as to whether the Maximum Rates for rate year eleven (or calendar year 2021) were established in the manner provided in the Franchise Agreement, and who bears responsibility for the resulting (real or perceived) effect on revenue to Recology.

Analysis
City staff and Recology met several times over many months to work through the disagreement over the 2021 rate setting process and have reached a proposed settlement in which Recology will receive $357,000 from the TRSF. This one-time payment will resolve all issues arising from the 2021 rate year dispute, and the parties would agree that no further payments or adjustments to rates in future years are necessary as a result of the rates set in 2021. While staff believes that the City complied with the Franchise Agreement in approving the Maximum Rates for 2021, staff also believes the settlement is reasonable given: (1) the complexity of the rate setting process particular to Rate Year 2021, (2) the cost and risk of litigating the complex language, (3) the fact that the proposed settlement resolves the disputed issues once and for all without affecting future rate years, and (4) the TRSF has the funds needed for the settlement and those funds were anticipated in the Franchise Agreement to be used in rate year 2021. The settlement will not affect future rate adjustments which will be made based on the prior year’s rates and allowable increases identified in the contract.

Strategic Focus Area
Fiscal and Organizational Sustainability
Background
On February 23, 2022, the City Council and staff participated in Belmont's Annual Strategic Planning Session. This working session followed up on the City Council’s March 11, 2020 community visioning and strategic planning workshop, facilitated by a consulting firm specializing in leadership and organizational performance.

The 2020 workshop provided an opportunity for the Councilmembers to establish Council norms, reflect on accomplishments from the past year, receive an update on the progress on the Council priorities and develop a new 5-year Strategic Plan. The current strategic plan includes the following five City Council focus areas with supportive goals as its roadmap for action over the next several years:

At the February 2022 session, the Council reviewed progress made to date on the various focus areas and received the community's feedback.

Despite many challenges related to the last two years of the pandemic and resources, staff has made exceptional progress in meeting the goals of the Council’s stated initiatives. Most of the initiatives in the plan are either underway, completed, or are in process of being initiated. 37

Upon conclusion of the workshop city staff has carried out a comprehensive review of the City’s strategic plan to ensure that any relevant revisions are made to the plan.

Additional details on those initiatives are outlined in the attached strategic plan dashboard, updated to reflect supporting initiatives and targets for the upcoming FY 2023 budget. The attached Strategic Plan Performance Update provides the city’s formal performance management report of the initiatives in the Strategic Plan, as approved by the City Council in May 2020 and subsequent update in May 2021. The report is set up as a Dashboard of Key Strategic Objectives & Supporting Initiatives identifying shortterm (1-2 year) objectives and supporting initiatives for each of the strategic focus area. Additionally, it identifies timeframe for completion of each action step.

Analysis
In addition to the ongoing initiatives and projects already underway, during the session, the Council identified several key initiatives for the upcoming fiscal year:
• The anticipated placement of two revenue measures on the upcoming November 2022 ballot. If authorized by voters, these measures would adjust the City’s transient occupancy tax and business license tax rates and add a new cannabis business tax
• Develop regulations for the establishment of several cannabis retail and distribution facilities • Execute various economic development and housing initiatives to support the business community and the development of new housing
• Support the City’s workforce while developing succession plans and other efforts to support mentoring, coaching, skills advancement, and retention
In addition to above efforts highlighted by staff, the City Council also identified several new initiatives for the upcoming fiscal year and provided direction to staff to further explore. These initiatives include:
• Creating a City Historian
• Refocusing energies on efforts to advance values of diversity, equity and inclusion in various aspects of city business, and exploring ways to further support the recognition of the City’s rich cultural diversity
Also, staff has utilized the plan in the upcoming FY 2023 Budget Process. The annual budget is the most significant expression of how City Council policies are translated into daily operations. City Council goal setting has historically been an opportunity to clarify city policy priorities and inform how resources are allocated in the city budget. The City Council sets the overall policy direction for Belmont and helps staff prioritize programs, projects and services to support that direction.

Maintaining good fiscal health remains a significant priority. Meeting this objective preserves the city’s ability to continue providing important programs and services to the community. The operating budget’s principles and fiscal recovery priorities help guide the city’s evolution through uncertain times, supporting economic recovery through changes to our policies and programs where applicable, focusing on resiliency 38

2022 Strategic Planning Session Update
over the long-term by using temporary solutions to bridge revenue losses expected in the short-term and seeking new ways to conduct work through efficiencies and new revenues or service models.

Despite the challenges of the last two years the organization has been ready and resilient. As we lean into the future our goal is to keep Belmont a great city: thriving and sustainable community for all; a place where people can safely live, work and play.

FY2023 Budget Introduction

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: May 24, 2022
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Grace Castaneda, Finance Director, [email protected]; Jennifer Rose, Housing, Economic Development, and Finance Manager, [email protected];
Nawel Voelker, Management Analyst II, [email protected] Agenda Title: Introduction of the Proposed Fiscal Year 2023 Budget Agenda Action: Discussion & Direction
Recommendation
Discuss and provide direction regarding the proposed fiscal year (FY) 2023 budget. A public hearing has been set for June 14, 2022 to consider budget adoption.

Strategic Focus Area
Fiscal and Organizational Sustainability
Executive Summary
 The fiscal year (FY) 2023 budget addresses the ongoing recovery from fiscal impacts from the pandemic, as well as takeaway of key revenue sources as a result of actions taken by the State of California while maintaining City services including public safety and public works services; local control over City revenue sources is needed to ensure long-term fiscal sustainability and allow Belmont to be self-reliant into the future.
 The City operating budget for FY 2023 is $55.9 million, and the Belmont Fire Protection District operating budget is $12.3 million, for a total Citywide operating budget of $68.2 million, up 5.4% over the adopted budget for last fiscal year. This reflects activities and the cost of operations climbing back to pre-pandemic levels, and also includes strategic staffing changes in focus areas to meet the demands of our community’s priority needs.
 The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for FY 2023 totals $19.3 million and provides significant funding towards streets, sewer, and storm drain infrastructure, and facility improvements. The five-year CIP plan totals $72.7 million.
 General Fund operating budget, including transfers, for FY 2023 is balanced at $28.3 million; the General Fund long-term forecast shows an ongoing reduction in fund balance which is projected to fall by $4.3 million over the next five years; fund balance reserves are currently being used to replace revenue shortfalls and maintain City services and quality of life. 45

Enhanced funding for Public Safety
communications equipment and
C.A.R.E. Program
 Public Safety: Strengthened community
outreach, and align public safety services
with community needs.
 The State is underfunding property tax in-lieu of vehicle license fee (VLF) for a third straight year, and the recently released May revise of the State’s budget trailer bill suggests that the State will use excess ERAF funds to backfill the VLF shortfall—essentially using monies already owed to cities including Belmont to pay for a separate State obligation. These actions have the potential to result in a long-term shortfall of VLF in excess of $4 million annually, and a loss of $7.2 million of excess ERAF funding over the next ten years.
 The City must take actions to diversify revenues and ensure long-term financial sustainability and local control over revenue sources to prevent further cuts to City Services including cuts to public safety, parks and public works services.

FY2023 Budget Introduction - Staff Report
Background
The proposed FY 2023 budget continues to provide a thoughtful balance between short-term cost saving measures and long-term fiscal stability strategies. The City Council held a strategic planning workshop on February 23, 2022, during which they received a presentation on Belmont’s financial operations, including a review of recent actions at the State level that were anticipated to have detrimental impacts on revenues, and ongoing shortfalls caused by the pandemic. At that workshop, the City Council also affirmed ongoing support for the previously adopted strategic objectives and priority initiatives aimed at ensuring ongoing fiscal sustainability and securing locally-controlled funding for priority City services and investments in the community.

The discussion and direction previously provided by the Council have been incorporated into the proposed FY 2023 budget, continuing our path forward towards a stronger and more resilient organization.

Analysis
The attached presentation introduces the proposed FY 2023 budget, which continues to provide funding for core services, advance Council priorities, and make a substantial investment in our capital and infrastructure needs, while also highlighting key takeaways. In addition, this year’s budget document retains last year’s revamped layout with eight sections, including a financial trends section, a ten-year plan for the General Fund and five-year plans for most other funds, and budgetary information organized by City departments. Budget highlights are included in the City Manager’s Letter of Transmittal at the beginning of the budget document, in the Budget Overview section’s consolidated summary of proposed FY 2023 appropriations, and in the Department Information and Fund Information sections, providing comprehensive financial information at department and fund levels, respectively.

The attached presentation covers the following.
• FY 2023 Budget Overview
• Strategic Focus Areas & Community Priorities
• Long-Term Fund Forecasts
• Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan
• Department Budget Highlights
• Next Steps
Next Steps
Subsequent to receiving feedback and direction from the City Council on the proposed budget, a public hearing is scheduled for June 14, 2022 to adopt the FY 2023 budget. At that meeting, it is anticipated the Council will be asked to consider and adopt the following:
• A resolution establishing the base revenue, appropriations (expenditures), Capital Improvement Program budget, and permanent staffing plan for the year • A resolution approving Article XIIIB appropriations (Gann Limit) • A resolution establishing the Special Tax for Community Facilities District No. 2000-1 (Library Project)
• A resolution amending the Master Revenue Schedule
• Companion actions, including resolutions to the Annual Report for Collection on the Tax Roll:

53 6 CITY OF BELMONT PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2023 BUDGET
Letter of Transmittal

CITY MANAGER'S MESSAGE
Honorable Mayor Mates and Members of the City Council:

I am pleased to present for your consideration the FY 2023 budget. Overall, the citywide budget, including both operating and capital, is $87.5 million. This budget continues to provide funding for core services, advance Council priorities, while also making a substantial investment in our capital and infrastructure needs. As we navigate through this “new normal” after the initial onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have encountered many uncertainties. Restrictions surrounding leisure travel and indoor gatherings are easing, schools have reopened back in-person, but new variants and the threat of new ones remain and going back exactly to how things were seems unlikely, and unreasonable. To that end, through this past year, Belmont adapted quickly to the everchanging environment while still continuing the high-quality services to our community. I want to first express my gratitude for the hard work and commitment from both our Council and our staff. After two years of conducting our public meetings online, we mindfully transitioned to a hybrid setting, opening the Council chambers for an in-person environment while also concurrently accommodating a remote option. Other services adapted to a hybrid model as well, including planning and permitting services that are serving the public both in-person and online. Our communication channels remain as strong as ever, connecting with our community frequently through the City Manager’s Weekly Updates, social media sites, and new and enhanced platforms such as Your Voice, Your Belmont. The steadfast commitment to our community highlighted the best of who we are in this past year.

As we move into the next phase of this new normal, whatever challenges lie ahead, I am certain that our proven adaptability will lead us through our unwavering dedication to our community.

From a financial perspective, maintaining good fiscal health remains a significant priority. Meeting this objective preserves the City’s ability to continue providing important programs and services to the community. The operating budget’s principles and fiscal recovery priorities help guide the City’s evolution through uncertain times, supporting economic recovery through changes to our policies and programs where applicable, focusing on resiliency over the long-term by using temporary solutions to bridge revenue losses expected in the short-term and seeking new ways to conduct work through efficiencies and new revenues or service models.

Like many other communities, the pandemic caused a substantial shortfall to our revenues, especially hotel room tax, which is still far from full recovery. The American Rescue Plan Act federal funding that is allocated to state and local municipalities is certainly helping to prevent Belmont from service-level cuts, with Belmont receiving the first half of its total $6.4 million allocation in FY 2022 and expecting the second half in FY 2023. That being said, the funding is one-time, so while the General Fund balance will see an uptick in these two fiscal years, along with other factors that I will explain later in this transmittal letter, the balance is projected to drop in each of the subsequent years in the long-term forecast, by a total of $4.3 million in the next five years, or close to a 25% drop.

Expenditure reductions, along with placing a
hiring freeze on vacant positions, demonstrated
our fiscal prudence and has kept Belmont on
sound financial footing, but that cannot be
sustainable in the long term. Over the past
several years, our community has been evolving
with increasing development activities. 928
housing units are currently under construction
or in the pipeline, with a State-required Housing
Element update underway that is allocating 1,785
housing units in the next eight-year cycle. On
the commercial side, 1.1 million square feet of life
54 BUDGET MESSAGE 7
Letter of Transmittal
science development is currently in the pipeline, and the City is forecasting an additional 0.5 million square feet to be developed. As we transition into this next phase of our new normal, we must be ready to respond to our community’s orderly development and needs, and be prepared to provide the high-caliber level of services our community expects and deserves.

With this framework in mind, we turn our attention towards long-term fiscal sustainability, being thoughtful in building a foundation for our organization that is stronger and more resilient through identifying opportunities to diversify our revenue sources and expand our revenue base. Now more than ever, Belmont must become more self-reliant and have local control over local funds, ensuring that local tax dollars are spent for Belmont residents.

As our community grows and flourishes, our organization must use our resources strategically to support our community. While reducing expenditures is a good short-term measure, targeting investments in Strategic Focus Areas to respond to our evolving community is the long-term solution to build resiliency.

Despite the challenges of the last two years, the organization has been ready and resilient. Balancing short-term response and long-term investment will remain a priority for our organization. As we lean into the future, our goal is to keep Belmont a great city: thriving and sustainable community for all; a place where people can safely live, work, and play. I am confident that this focus will guide us through this next phase and make Belmont stronger than we were before.

Fiscal Year 2023 Budget
The City’s budget for FY 2023 continues to provide for core services and Council priorities, while also making strategic investments in our community. Overall, the citywide budget, including both operating and capital, is $87.5 million.

Citywide operating budget for FY 2023 is $68.2 million and is up 5.4% over the adopted budget for last fiscal year. This predominately reflects the cost of recreation programming as activities climb back to pre-pandemic levels. It also reflects strategic funding priorities in unfreezing a vacant position and adding positions in focus areas to meet the demands of our community’s priority needs, as discussed in more detail below. The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for FY 2023 totals $19.3 million and continues to provide significant funding towards improvements relating to streets, sewer system, storm drainage system, technology, facilities, and parks and open space. These projects are discussed in detail in the Capital Improvement Program section of this budget document.

In millions.
55 8 CITY OF BELMONT PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2023 BUDGET
Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
In a community survey conducted this year, residents identified the following City service priorities:
• Fix potholes, and repair streets and sidewalks
• Maintain 9-1-1- emergency response times
• Maintain parks, open space, and sports fields
• Maintain neighborhood police patrols and crime prevention • Maintain Public Works staff necessary to keep streets, like the Ralston Avenue improvements, and sewer projects on-time and on-budget
• Keep public areas healthy, safe, and clean
This year we also utilized the “Your Voice, Your Belmont” platform to expand the dialogue on City service needs and priorities. Along with the community survey, these priorities were incorporated through the budget process and reflected in the five-year CIP plan.

The City’s five-year CIP plan is $72.7 million, with the CIP budget for FY 2023 at $19.3 million. With aging infrastructure, the City faces hundreds of millions of dollars in street and storm drain infrastructure needs alone, in addition to maintenance needs for the City’s facilities and parks. While reducing support to capital projects may seem like an easy solution to our financial pressures, keeping the funding intact is essential to maintaining the City’s infrastructure, as delaying critical projects will only cost us more later. That is why we continue to make long-term investments in our capital needs. The chart below shows allocation of the CIP budget in FY 2023 to the different categories.

General Fund
The General Fund is the primary funding source for the vast majority of core services. General Fund expenditures for FY 2023 total $23.9 million, up 5.3% from the adopted $22.7 million in FY 2022. This predominately reflects operations going back to the pre-pandemic levels in FY 2020, as well as adding positions in focus areas to meet the demands of our growing community and operations, as discussed in more detail below. The budget for Measure I funds in FY 2023 includes $5.0 million in CIP projects towards roadway and storm drain system improvements. Total General Fund expenditures, including Measure I, are broken down into four categories as shown in the chart:

PUBLIC SAFETY $14.7M
Includes law enforcement administration,
crime control, traffic and community safety.

Letter of Transmittal
General Fund revenues directly and indirectly support core services including police, public works, parks and recreation, and general government operations. The FY 2023 revenue budget, including Measure I, totals $33.1 million, up 8.9% from the $30.4 million estimated in FY 2022. This is mainly due to property assessed valuations increasing from the strong performance in the housing market, as well as hotel room tax improving from the prior year when this revenue source hit unprecedented lows. As mentioned earlier, however, hotel room tax is still far from pre-pandemic levels. Sustained, significant increases in property assessed valuations are also not expected in the long run especially given the current interest rate environment, and accordingly, the long-term forecast reflects a more subdued growth moving forward.

In addition, for reasons I will explain in more detail later in this transmittal letter, the City is facing further revenue impacts due to the State’s actions that are threatening property taxes, the General Fund’s top revenue source.

While the long-term forecast assumes that the property taxes the City is entitled to will not be taken away, the State has proposed a budget trailer bill to change the current legislation that, if passed, will cause permanent, negative impacts to the City’s largest revenue source. To that end, the San Mateo County and City Manager’s Group have been mobilized along with our local representatives to put on a strong voice of opposition if the State’s language is entertained. We will monitor this situation closely, update the City Council as more information becomes available, and update the financial plan as necessary.

Budget Development Priorities
Pursuant to my opening remarks, balancing short-term response in the face of financial pressures and making targeted, long-term investment will remain a priority for our organization. With that in mind, part of the budget development process was to establish a baseline budget for FY 2023, in which departments evaluated and “rightsized” their budgets to reflect the provision of core services at existing levels. This also consisted of adjusting personnel costs to factor in the current composition of City staff and existing contractual agreements, as well as updating information related to pension and other benefits costs. Once the baseline budget for FY 2023 was established, funding priorities were evaluated that aligned with Council and community priorities in the following Strategic Focus Areas:
• Infrastructure and Mobility
• Economic Development and Housing
• Fiscal and Organizational Sustainability
• Public Safety
• Quality of Life
As I discuss in more detail below, our community is facing increasing activities, in both residential and commercial developments. In response, we must then also evolve and adapt to meet the needs of this demand, while maintaining a level of fiscal prudence by being targeted and strategic in the ongoing commitments we make. To that end, I am pleased with what the FY 2023 budget is able to accomplish in right-sizing operations to maintain core City services and funding targeted areas that aligns with City Council's goals of meeting community priorities.

Some of the key items that are incorporated in the budget include:
• The addition of a Principal Planner to address economic development and support long range and advanced planning projects;
• One-time funding for historical resources update, Belmont Village Specific Plan streetscape efforts, signage wayfinding, and Harbor Industrial Area annexation analysis; • Unfreeze funding for a Maintenance Worker to address streets and sewer infrastructure maintenance needs;
• Enhanced funding for Public Safety communications equipment and C.A.R.E. Program; • Continue to develop diversity, equity and inclusion programs; and • Enhanced funding for street improvements.

Opportunities and Challenges
This is an exciting time to be a part of the Belmont
community, with so many major initiatives occurring
simultaneously. As I mentioned earlier, 928 housing
units are currently under construction or in the
pipeline, with a Housing Element update underway
that is allocating 1,785 housing units in the next
eight-year cycle. 1.1 million square feet of life science development is currently in the pipeline, and the City
is forecasting an additional 0.5 million square feet to be developed. The Harbor Industrial Area (HIA), most
of which is currently unincorporated, has been gaining
interest with development activities that would have
annexation implications for the City. In the meantime,
60 BUDGET MESSAGE 13
Letter of Transmittal
a sewer and stormwater master plan has kicked off and is underway to identify infrastructure needs citywide, including the HIA, that will improve and address future climate and resiliency of our utilities systems. As our community continues to evolve, decisions that are made now will shape the future of our community and set us on the course that our Council and residents envision. There’s much to do, but I am confident that with careful planning and execution, our talented staff is up to both the opportunities and challenges ahead of us.

Opportunities

HOUSING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Following a comprehensive update of the Belmont General Plan and adoption of the Belmont Village Specific Plan in 2017, Belmont has experienced a significant growth in development activity, both in the downtown area and
extending along the El Camino Real and Old County Road
corridors. New housing development provides the critical mass necessary to support the existing Belmont business community, but also to attract new economic development.

Following completion of the State required update to the Housing Element of the General Plan in FY 2023, the
trend towards increased growth and development activity is expected to continue. This is an important time for our community, and as an organization we are aligning our
resources to support our continuing initiative in creating charming and vibrant activity centers both in downtown
and other commercial centers and improving the quality of life in Belmont.

Construction of the City-owned Firehouse Square Phase 1 affordable housing and mixed-use project by Mid-Pen Housing (66 affordable housing units) will be completed in Fall 2022, and construction activity continues on the Artisan Crossings 250-unit multi-family housing project (38 affordable housing units), and the 177-unit apartment building at 815 Old County Road (27 affordable units). In FY 2023, the City will continue processing a record high number of development entitlement applications in the Community Development Department, enhance business communications and outreach, and continue a strong partnership with the Belmont Chamber of Commerce.

This year, the City also convened an Economic Development Task Force (EDTF) that met six times to review economic development activity in Belmont, considered program opportunities and resources, and identified priorities that were presented to the City Council in January 2022. Funding for implementation of several EDTF recommended priorities has been included in the FY 2023 Budget, including development of a Community Benefits Program, and existing business support and communications tools.

MEASURE I
Measure I is the ½-cent sales tax that Belmont voters passed in 2016 that became effective in April 2017. This locally-controlled funding source has greatly enhanced the City’s ability to invest in roadway repairs. The 2020 Street Reconstruction project was completed earlier this year using Measure I funds that targeted twelve street segments. Belmont’s Pavement Condition Index has gone from “at risk to fair” in 2014 to “good to excellent” in 2022, and Measure I has been an instrumental revenue source in improving our streets. Measure I funds will again be utilized in the FY 2023 CIP budget, totaling $11.2 million in the 5-year CIP plan with projects including 61 14 CITY OF BELMONT PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2023 BUDGET
Letter of Transmittal
pavement reconstruction and rehabilitation, and storm drain infrastructure improvements. These projects highlight our commitment to the community in making long-term investments to improve and maintain our streets. More information about these projects can be found in the Capital Improvement Program section of this budget document.

DISTRICTING
Following significant stakeholder and community input, the City Council adopted an ordinance codifying a transition from city-wide based elections to district-based elections and establishing a city-wide elected mayor. District-based elections offer an opportunity for local municipalities to be more inclusive and representative of the different
communities within each municipality, and to ensure
different voices and priorities are part of the conversation and decision-making process. For Belmont, the first two district-based councilmember elections, as well as the
first City-wide mayor election, will take place in November 2022. The remaining two district-based councilmember
seats will be elected in November 2024. As we transition to district-based elections, we stand ready as an organization, and I am confident that our ability to adapt will once again be demonstrated to support and serve the diverse needs of our community.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION
While Belmont has been at the forefront of the protection of civil rights, and recognition and appreciation of diversity and inclusiveness, there is always more work that can be done that will better align with Belmont’s historical and evolving diversity. To that end, the City appointed a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer to direct efforts to assess internal policies and procedures, as well as the programs and services offered to the community to identify opportunities that will further improve along diversity, equity, and inclusion dimensions. The FY 2023 Budget includes resources to support these important efforts, which will include stakeholder surveys and listening sessions, an assessment of City programs, services, and communications, and identification and prioritization of areas where the City can make improvements.

LONG-TERM FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY
Belmont has long been fiscally responsible with a focus on long-term sustainability. The Belmont Strategic Plan, adopted in 2020, formalized Fiscal Sustainability as one of five strategic focus areas, with a series of supporting goals and objectives including maximizing existing revenue sources, identifying ways to diversify revenues, and securing ongoing funding for critical public services and infrastructure. Events in the past couple of years that are outside the City’s control have been hurting our revenue sources. The City continues to respond to the fiscal impacts of the pandemic, while simultaneously working to address the ongoing takeaway of key revenue sources as a result of actions taken by the State, which I will explain in more detail later in this transmittal letter.

Focusing on long-term fiscal sustainability is now more important than ever. To that end, the FY 2023 Budget includes resources that will support this strategic focus area. 62 BUDGET MESSAGE 15
Letter of Transmittal
Through this past year, our engagement effort shows that enhancing locally-controlled revenues to support fiscal sustainability is a key priority. A significant proportion shows interest in updating and simplifying our business tax ordinance, and in assessing options on how best to have visitors pay their fair share to Belmont. With Council’s support, potential ballot measures in November 2022 are currently being considered that will modernize our business tax ordinance having large businesses pay their fair share, and increasing our transient occupancy tax rate from 12% to 14% that will better align with what neighboring jurisdictions charge.

Belmont is also working on regulation of commercial cannabis businesses and developing land use and regulatory ordinances for Council’s consideration in FY 2023. Regulation of commercial cannabis and the resulting tax generated from these businesses can offer a new locally-generated and locally-controlled source of revenue for the City to use to support community service priorities. We look forward to working with the Council and engaging our community as we continue to address these priorities.

On the development front, the City collects several development related fees including a parkland in-lieu fee, park and traffic impact fees, and housing and public art in-lieu fees, all of which help mitigate the impacts of new developments on community infrastructure and facilities. However, these revenues do not provide funding for the expansion of essential City services to address new service demands that these new developments will require.

With significant development activity already in the pipeline and forecasted to be built over the next several years, the City is exploring creation of a Community Facilities District for generating a locally controlled source of revenue that will be funded by new developments for the provision of City services.

Challenges

HOTEL ROOM TAX
Transient occupancy tax, or hotel room tax, is dependent on both the occupancy levels and room rates of the City’s hotel stock. This revenue source is especially sensitive to the overall health of the economy. Prior to the pandemic, revenues from hotel room tax were approximately $4 million, making up one of the top revenue sources for the General Fund. However, travel restrictions from the pandemic have devastated this revenue source, and the reactive nature of hotel room tax to
the economy was clearly demonstrated. In FY 2021
alone, hotel room tax dropped an unprecedented 65%
to $1.3 million. As restrictions started to ease this year, traveling, especially leisure traveling, began to come
back. Business travel still lags, and because our hotels serve mainly business travelers, this revenue source is expected to recover slower, with $2.8 million projected for FY 2023, still far from pre-pandemic levels. As
conditions change, we will monitor this revenue closely and adjust our long-term forecast accordingly.

PROPERTY TAX
Property tax is the largest source of revenues in the General Fund, and until recently, the most stable source of revenues. Actions from the State that are outside the City’s control has negatively impacted our redevelopment agency (RDA) residual property tax, and the State is now threatening other property taxes, including property tax in lieu of VLF and excess ERAF.

On the residuals side, a decision made by the California Court of Appeals in August 2020 has modified the calculation on how redevelopment agency (RDA) residual property tax is distributed, resulting in approximately 63 16 CITY OF BELMONT PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2023 BUDGET
Letter of Transmittal
$700,000 shortfall to the General Fund and $900,000 to the Belmont Fire Protection District on an annual basis.

With such a significant and ongoing impact, Belmont has taken extensive steps this past year to defease our RDA bonds early, and seek a final dissolution from the Successor Agency. After months of in-depth work with the County, multiple trips to the County Oversight Board, and multiple requests and responses with the Department of Finance (DOF), obligations of the Successor Agency were successfully discharged and the DOF recognized the final dissolution in April 2022. Belmont is the first Successor Agency in San Mateo County to achieve full dissolution, and in doing so, Belmont has successfully mitigated impacts to its redevelopment residual revenues.

Starting FY 2023, without a Successor Agency, there will no longer be any property tax shift to RPTTF, and no longer any pass-through or residual revenues, thereby mitigating impacts to residual revenues. Instead, property tax will revert to secured property and distributed accordingly.

Such positive and welcoming news was only short-lived, unfortunately. The State has now proposed a budget trailer bill with a May revise that, if passed, will have a detrimental impact to our other property taxes: property tax in lieu of VLF and excess ERAF. For property tax in lieu of VLF, back in 2004, the California Legislature approved a swap of vehicle license fee (VLF) for property tax as part of a state-local budget agreement. The VLF that
local municipalities had been receiving was permanently reduced from 2% to 0.65%, and the difference is replaced with a like amount from property tax that is based on the number of non-basic aid school districts. It is important to note that these school districts are not harmed by
this swap in any way, as the State keeps their funding
whole. Over the past several years, in San Mateo County, the number of non-basic aid school districts have been
reducing, and as such, officials are projecting over $56 million countywide shortfall for FY 2022. This follows a $96 million countywide shortfall in the prior FY 2021. The long-term forecast projects the ongoing trend of less and less non-basic aid school districts in the County, until there is none in five years which will result in an approximate County-wide shortfall of $270 million, with Belmont’s share at $4 million. Our $4 million shortfall then increases annually by assessed valuation growth.

In an attempt to address the continuous shortfall in VLF, the State Department of Finance drafted a budget trailer bill, with a May revise, that proposes using excess ERAF funds to backfill VLF shortfall. The State’s draft proposes capping excess ERAF at FY 2022 amounts, and any growth in excess ERAF thereafter, shall be used to pay for VLF shortfall. This change essentially requires counties and cities to pay for the State’s VLF obligations using monies that these local taxing agencies are already entitled to receive. Taking away excess ERAF from local taxing agencies and redirecting them to fund the State’s VLF obligation is contrary to the 2004 State budget compromise that established the current system and could raise potential constitutional issues. The State further adds a provision in the May revise indicating that if agencies seek legal action, the State will automatically deny any reimbursement requests to backfill VLF. If passed, this bill will have a devastating impact on the amount of excess ERAF local taxing agencies receive, as excess ERAF will be capped, and any growth in all future years on this funding source will be lost. Based on the County’s estimates, Belmont will stand to lose $7.2 million over the next ten years, of which $1.4 million is the loss in year ten. This loss will continue to grow annually in perpetuity.

As I mentioned earlier, the San Mateo County and City Manager’s Group have been mobilized along with our local representatives to put on a strong voice of opposition. We will monitor this situation closely and update the City Council as more information becomes available. With how the situation has been unfolding thus far, this only intensifies the need for Belmont to be self-reliant and have our own locally-controlled funding sources. 64 BUDGET MESSAGE 17
Letter of Transmittal

ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
An important issue facing Belmont and other jurisdictions throughout the public sector is the wave of retirements that are happening right now. Especially for Belmont, we run a lean and “flat” organization, which means that there is not a lot of room for overlap between our employees when they perform different responsibilities to cover the comprehensive range of services we deliver to our community. So while retirements are not a surprise and are a part of ongoing organizational change, we are needing to deal with the loss of institutional knowledge that our long-term employees leave with when they retire.

Our efforts to focus on succession planning and attracting new talent are more important than ever. Over a third of our workforce will be retirement eligible in 5 years or less. As we see more retirements in the horizon, coupled with staff turnover that is a regular part of organizational operations including ours, as an organization we are moving to
succession planning and knowledge sharing as best as
we can. This requires thoughtful foresight and execution, while keeping an eye on our Strategic Focus Areas and
advancing those priorities. Our focus to attract new talent at a time when there are seemingly fewer in the next generation wanting to enter the public sector, as well as our efforts to grow talent from within the organization, will be key to our success. As a service organization, we are only as strong as our people. As we evolve as an organization, it is important that we continue to find creative ways to meet our employees’ needs, so we can attract, retain, and develop new dedicated talent to serve our community.

General Fund Long-Term Financial Plan
One of the key benefits of long-term financial planning is the ability to identify issues beyond the budget year, so that appropriate actions can be taken to address those issues and course correct. The American Rescue Plan Act federal funding is helping to recover some of our revenue loss from the pandemic and is increasing our fund balance, but that is only in the short-term. The funding is only one-time, while revenues such as hotel room tax will take years to recover, and expenditures keep increasing in the meantime. The long-term plan allows us to see beyond the immediate term, so that we are able to make better decisions in how to utilize our resources strategically. With over half of the General Fund operating expenditures going to personnel costs, the plan projects for key factors such as salary increases, pension cost increases, and medical premium increases. On top of that, the General Fund provides support to other funds that are not fully recovered through user fees. In the long-term plan, we’ve continued to include all of our known or assumed resource demands for the General Fund, including:
• Salary increases based on existing contractual agreements, then assumed modest increases • CalPERS contribution rate increases based on actuarial study and are being predominantly absorbed by the City
• Assumed increases in medical costs based on actuarial study • Transferring an average of $5.4 million per year over the ten-year forecast to support operations in other funds, including the Recreation Fund, Development Services Fund, Street Maintenance Fund, and Storm Drainage Fund
65 18 CITY OF BELMONT PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2023 BUDGET
Letter of Transmittal
Loading all these known and assumed resource demands results in a structural imbalance, as our annual revenues are no longer able to sustain our ongoing expenditures. We are experiencing how quickly reserves can be drawn down when hit with factors outside our control, including revenue impacts from the pandemic and actions taken by the State. The graph shows our projected ending fund balance in the next ten years.

General Fund Balance Long-Term Forecast
The accompanying long-term financial plan in the Fund Information Section of this budget document underscores the importance of carefully considering additional ongoing General Fund commitments. Part of that effort will include how other funds can become more self-sustainable so that support from the General Fund can be minimized. To that end, a fee study is underway to evaluate development-related permit fees and costs associated to process those permits. As we move forward, this plan will continually be evaluated to identify issues and assess options to address those issues.

Concluding Remarks
The FY 2023 budget has been developed to strike a thoughtful balance between the short-term and long-term.

While we must respond to the fiscal impacts from the pandemic and property tax takeaway from the State, we must also keep our focus towards the future and act to ensure the long-term success of our community. That is why we continue to invest in our infrastructure needs, and make targeted investments in strategic focus areas to meet the growing demands of our community. We have also taken action towards the future to ensure a better level of sustainability that will serve Belmont well. As we move forward into the next phase, building back better, becoming more resilient and self-reliant will remain a focus for our organization. The experiences of these past years have challenged the way we deliver services to our community, and how we respond to impacts outside of our control.

But our core principles remain the same: to execute on the Council’s vision and to serve our community with highquality services. With this as our anchor, I am confident that whether we face new opportunities or whether we face challenging circumstances, we will come out better and stronger and more resilient than we were before.

The development and delivery of this budget was a team effort across the board, the culmination of months of work from staff throughout the organization. First and foremost, I would like to thank the Council for articulating $0

Achievement Highlights

INFRASTRUCTURE AND MOBILITY
Infrastructure achievements include significant investments in the City’s sewer and storm systems with completed
construction of El Camino Real and Old County Road
Sanitary and Storm Sewer Rehabilitation Project, Arthur Ave Storm Sewer Rehabilitation, and Belmont Creek Dredging
projects. The design of the Hiller Sanitary Sewer Capacity Improvement Project is completed, with construction of
the gravity line anticipated to start in Summer 2022, and the new Hiller Lift station in 2023. The Belmont Creek
Restoration within Twin Pines Park and the Multi-benefit Stormwater Capture Project near City Hall both kicked off engineering design and environmental work in April 2022 and will continue into 2023, with each project anticipating construction in 2024. In addition, the development of two Master Plans for the City’s Stormwater System and Sanitary Sewer Infrastructure System began last year and will be completed in 2023. The roadway rehabilitation on various streets was completed as part of the 2020 Pavement Project and 2021 Slurry Seal Project, with new summer construction set for two pavement projects in 2022 and another slate of roads set for upgrades in 2023. Transportation and Mobility accomplishments include completion of construction on
the Ralston Ave. Corridor Improvement Project - Segment 3, which provides new sidewalks and bike lanes and a
new road surface on Ralston from South Road to Villa Ave, completed in 2022. The design of the Alameda de las
Pulgas Corridor Project (Carlmont Drive to San Carlos City limit) is also underway. The construction on 2022 Pavement Project will commence in April 2022, finishing in the summer.

These pavement investments, largely funded by Measure
I, mean that Belmont’s Pavement Condition Index (PCI) has risen from the low 50’s a few years ago to 68 in 2022.

Additional accomplishments include use of the Vehicle Miles Traveled CEQA thresholds and collection of a new Traffic Impact Fee to address the impact of future development
and creating investments in new city-wide transportation improvements.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT & HOUSING
Belmont continues to see a surge in both residential and non-residential development activity. As of May 2022, the City has issued building permits for 685 new housing units, including 179 affordable units available to lower income households. During FY 2023, the City anticipates issuing building permits for 243 more new housing units, including 141 affordable units, and working towards completion of a comprehensive update to the General Plan Housing Element.

Subsequent long-range planning efforts in FY2023 will
include updates to the Belmont General Plan, Belmont Village Specific Plan, and Zoning Ordinance to ensure adequate
growth capacity and serve the growing demand for new
housing. The City is also working to process development entitlements for three Biotech/R&D/Life Sciences projects that could add new commercial space in the City's Island Parkway, Shoreway Road, and former Harbor Industrial Area (HIA).

New Economic Development activities include launching a new website and enhancing business community outreach
and communications. In October 2021 the City convened an ad-hoc economic development advisory committee aimed at improving the City's interaction with the business community and identifying new priorities, some of which are included in the FY 2023 work plan and budget, including development of a community benefits program. In March 2022, the City joined the Choose Local SMC initiative, which uses a phone app to connect small businesses in Belmont with customers wanting to support local businesses.

FISCAL & ORGANIZATIONAL SUSTAINABILITY
The City received the Award for Excellence in financial reporting for the FY 2021 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), as well as the Distinguished Budget
Presentation Award and the Operating Budget Excellence
Award for the FY 2023 Budget. The Human Resources
Department/City Management bargaining teams for FY 2022 successfully negotiated with two of the City's three bargaining 70 CITY OVERVIEW 23
Achievement Highlights

PUBLIC SAFETY
The Belmont Police Department continued its efforts
towards upgrading transparency platforms and community
messaging. In addition, the departments Community Police Academy has been instrumental in our outreach efforts to enhance our connectivity with the public. This provides community members with an inside look at the Belmont
Police Department by presenting the functions, capabilities, and limitations of the department. Over the course of the last year, the Police Department maintained its community outreach through the C.A.R.E. (Crisis Assessment, Response and Education) Team to enhance our response to calls of those experiencing a mental health crisis. The C.A.R.E.

Team also held its first Mental Health Symposium. This event featured mental health professionals from around
our region discussing services and taking questions from the community about mental health related topics. The
department in conjunction with members of the City Council formed a standing Public Safety Committee in an effort to review and improve police policies and procedures. The department continues to reevaluate and plan for the future to enhance its succession planning, infrastructure concerns, and service model to ensure continued community success.

QUALITY OF LIFE
The Parks & Recreation Department is continuing the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan project, which will be completed in 2022. This project will deliver the 15-year vision by which parks and recreation resources will be
allocated and improvements will be made, and includes
the development of an Open Space Management Plan to
define environmental sustainability, recreational balance and wildfire hazard mitigation goals and recommendations.

The Department provided numerous virtual and in person
recreation programs and special events, including a
Sweetheart Dance, Holiday Home Decorating Contests,
and a Golden Egg Scavenger Hunt through City parks.

Numerous volunteer projects were completed, including
open space trail improvements and invasive species
removal. Parks staff continues to work with SMC Fire
and Cal Fire to advance fuel reduction in the City’s open spaces. The City received CalOES grant funds to purchase equipment for power resiliency and Proposition 68 per
capita grant funds for tennis court resurfacing projects at Alexander and Hallmark Parks.
units for successor MOUs that are fair, competitive, and sustainable for the City. With record vacancies, the City recruited and hired more new talent than ever, offering hybrid teleworking opportunities where feasible. The City's first Telework Policy was also formalized. Finally, with new talent and promotions of qualified staff, the City looks forward to enhancing the onboarding experience in FY 2023.

77 30 CITY OF BELMONT PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2023 BUDGET
Basis of Budgeting

FUND ACCOUNTING BUDGET SYSTEM
The City of Belmont’s budget is based upon the principle of cost centers (i.e., funds, departments, and service areas).

The City of Belmont prepares its budget based upon
discrete service centers, which represent the many cost centers through which services are delivered. This allows the City Council to determine with accuracy what the true cost of delivering a service is and what impacts either increasing or decreasing appropriations will have on a
particular service. This method is consistent with generally accepted accounting principles.

The budget is organized on the basis of the fund accounting system, in which each fund is considered a separate
budgeting entity. Government resources are allocated to and expenses accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. All operating funds’ budgets lapse at the end of the adoption cycle. The City of Belmont also maintains an encumbrance accounting system as one technique of accomplishing budgetary control.

There is no formal provision in departmental budgets for depreciation and compensated absences (i.e. accrued
vacation and sick leave time), but they are budgeted as internal services fund charges.

All governmental fund budgets are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available.

Likewise, expenditures are recognized when an event or
transaction is expected to draw upon current spendable
resources. Governmental funds include the General Funds, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Fund, and Capital
Projects Funds. All proprietary fund budgets are accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement focus and a full accrual basis. These funds include the Enterprise Funds and Internal Service Funds.

BUDGETARY CONTROLS
The City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed annual operating budget for the ensuing fiscal year. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and
the means of financing them and is subjected to public
hearings where comments are obtained for consideration.

The Council adopts the budget through passage of a budget resolution at which time the proposed expenditures become appropriations. The budget is effective the following July 1 and may be amended by subsequent resolutions. The City
Manager is authorized to transfer appropriations between any departments; however, any revisions, which increase the total appropriations of any fund, must be approved by the Council. Transfers not included in the original budget must be approved by the Finance Director. Where not contractually committed, expenditures may not exceed appropriations at the fund level. Unencumbered appropriations lapse at year end.

Activities of the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds,
Debt Service Fund, Capital Funds, and Proprietary Funds are included in the annual budget. Department heads are responsible for containing expenditures within their budgeted appropriations as approved by the City Council. The City Manager is authorized to transfer appropriations between any departments that do not exceed the total appropriations of any fund. Subsequent to the adoption of the budget, all additional changes to the budget that have a financial impact at the fund level require City Council approval.

FINANCIAL TRENDS

Major General Fund Tax Revenues
Property tax is the General Fund’s largest revenue source.

Revenues have grown from approximately $5.5 million in
fiscal year 2012 to over $10 million in fiscal year 2020, and that is attributable primarily to the strong growth in assessed valuations. As demonstrated in the table, over the past ten years, assessed valuations in the City have increased an average of 5.8% annually. This includes the first year of the recovery from the Great Recession when assessed valuations were slowing climbing back up, and the increase was less than 2%. The assessed valuation in Belmont is heavily weighted toward residential at almost 90%, and with many residential properties, especially ones that had been in long-term
ownership, changing hands during the strong and extended period of recovery from the Great Recession, growth in this revenue source has been significant in the past several years.

However, such extended growth is not expected in the longterm. Funding for property tax in lieu of VLF continues to be threatened as the shortfall increases and backfill from the State remains uncertain. Furthermore, a decision from the California Court of Appeals in 2020 has modified the methodology for distribution of redevelopment agency residual property tax, which resulted in Belmont receiving less residuals beginning fiscal year 2021, and reducing the overall baseline in the General Fund's primary revenue source, as demonstrated in the graph above. The impact continues in fiscal year 2022, with overall property tax coming in lower than where it could have trended if not for the reduction in residual property tax. To that

end, Belmont took action to discharge obligations from
the Successor Agency by seeking an early defeasance of
its redevelopment agency bonds. After a year long and
arduous process, Belmont received approvals from the
County Oversight Board and the Department of Finance,
becoming the first Successor Agency in San Mateo
County to acheive final dissolution. The expectation
moving forward and as reflected in the ten-year financial plan is for property tax to stabilize, with property
transaction activity getting back to a more sustainable baseline growth.

Major General Fund Tax Revenues
MAJOR GENERAL FUND TAX REVENUES: SALES TAX
This chart shows sales tax revenues trend over the last ten years, along with the fiscal year 2022 estimates. The blue bar is the 1% local sales tax, the green bar is the 0.50% Measure I sales tax passed by Belmont voters that began in April 2017, and the orange line is the trendline for the 1% local sales tax. As demonstrated by the chart, sales tax fell significantly below the trendline in fiscal year 2020, which reflected the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the recognition of sales tax deferments from businesses at the onset of the pandemic. As more data became available, however, businesses who were able to have continued to make their sales tax payments instead of deferring. Sales tax in fiscal year 2021 therefore came in higher due mainly to the recognition of these sales tax payments.

Through the pandemic, consumers with disposable income redirected their spending to luxury auto purchases and online spending. With Belmont's major sales tax contributors coming from the autos category, their performance have helped towards the recovery in this revenue source. Further, sales tax from internet sales have begun to be unilaterally assessed by the end of 2019 as a result of the South Dakota v. Wayfair Supreme Court decision. As restrictions ease on traveling and indoor activities, consumer behavior may likely shift from purchase of goods, which is taxable, to purchase of services, which is non-taxable. The expectation and as reflected in the long-term financial plan is for sales tax, both the 1% and Measure I, to adjust back to a sustainable recovery and growth close to the trendline.

Major General Fund Tax Revenues
MAJOR GENERAL FUND TAX REVENUES: TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX Transient occupancy tax (TOT) is a tax on hotel or other short-term rental occupants whose stays are 30 consecutive nights or less. This revenue is largely dependent on the overall health of the economy.

As demonstrated by this chart, revenues have been steadily increasing during an extended period of economic growth. Growth in TOT revenues was amplified in fiscal years 2019 and 2020 as two new hotels opened, which increased the overall tax base, along with the TOT tax rate increasing from 10% to 12% in January 2019. However, the COVID-19 pandemic stopped the growth abruptyly, and the reactive nature of TOT to the economy was clearly demonstrated with an unprecendented drop in TOT in fiscal year 2021 as travel was restricted and occupancy rates dropped precipitously. As restrictions ease in fiscal year 2022, however, traveling, especially leisure traveling, began to come back.

Business travel still lags, and is expected to recover slower. In Belmont, hotels cater mostly to business travelers, and as such, this revenue source is projected to stay low and recover slowly. The impacts on travel, especially business travel, and on the overall health of the economy will be monitored closely, and the long-term financial plan will be adjusted accordingly.

General Fund Ending Balance

GENERAL FUND ENDING BALANCE
This graph shows the ending fund balance for the General Fund over the past ten years, along with an estimated ending balance for fiscal year 2022. As evidenced by the low level of reserves in fiscal years 2012 and 2013, the Great Recession had a significant impact on the health of the General Fund.

While the Great Recession officially ended by fiscal year 2009, it took several years for the fund balance to be replenished. Reserves steadily increased as the period of economic growth extended.

However, the fund balance was once again threatened, with fund balances dropping in fiscal years 2020 and 2021, as major sources of General Fund revenues were impacted significantly from the COVID-19 pandemic. The fund balance is estimated to increase in fiscal year 2022, mainly due to an allocation of federal stimulus relief funding from the Armerican Rescue Plan Act. Federal and state stimulus relief funding are helping to mitigate the impact, but the funding are only one-time, while the impact is expected to continue. In the long-term financial plan, the existing fund balance will be drawn down for service-level stability and strategic utilization for one-time needs, while long-term adjustments can be made to achieve long-term sustainability.

OVERVIEW
In addition to expenditures that are directly
related to departmental operations, there are
also significant expenditures that are not directly
attributable to the departments. One major category
of the non-departmental expenditures is related
to our internal services mechanism. To reflect the
full cost of operations in departmental budgets,
the cost of comprehensive liability, workers’
compensation, building maintenance, and vehicle
and equipment replacement is included in those
budgets. In order to administer these programs
in an efficient manner, however, the actual funds
from each department are collected into a series
of internal service funds, which consolidate the
monies to pay for these programs. In order to not
“double count” these costs, internal service fund
expenses are not included in the total operating
budget, as they are already incorporated into each
department’s operations.

Another major category of the non-departmental
expenditures reflects the City’s contribution to
Silicon Valley Clean Water (SVCW), a joint powers
authority (JPA) between the cities of Belmont,
Redwood City, San Carlos, and the West Bay
Sanitary District, for wastewater treatment services.

The contribution includes the City’s annual member
agency contribution to SVCW, plus participation
in SVCW’s debt service as well as cash in-lieu of
debt service participation. For FY 2023, the City’s
contribution amounts to $5.0 million.

Finally, a third major category of the nondepartmental expenditures is the payment of City’s debt service. This includes payment for the sewer
bonds, library bonds from the Community Facilities
District, and the County lease for improvements
made to the Belmont Sports Complex. The amount
for FY 2023 is $6.6 million.

FUND INFORMATION
The City of Belmont’s budget is organized on the basis of the fund accounting system, and each fund is considered a separate budgeting entity. For each fund, there is a ten-year financial plan, a five-year financial plan, or a twoyear financial plan provided in this section of the budget document. The General Fund is the primary fund for the City, and as such, a ten-year financial plan has been created. This allows for the ability to identity issues beyond the budget and immediate short-term, yet take the appropriate actions within the budget plan to address those issues. The ten-year plan underscores the importance of carefully considering additional and ongoing General Fund commitments, especially as they relate to personnel costs, and allows time for course correction as issues are identified in the forecast.

Five-year financial plans have been created for the Measure I, certain special revenue, capital, and internal service funds. The duration of five years was selected to be able to identify trends beyond the budget cycle but not stretch the forecasting process out as far as was done with the General Fund. For grant special revenue funds, donation special revenue funds, certain housing special revenue funds, and debt service fund, the financial plans were set at the two year due to the nature of the funds themselves. Grant funding is typically evaluated and renewed on an annual basis, so long-term planning for grant funding has somewhat limited value. The financial plan duration will be evaluated annually, and if it is determined there is greater value to planning for a longer duration for some or all of these funds, the financial plans will be adjusted accordingly.

Below is a summary table of all other funds and the duration of each fund’s financial plan:

GENERAL FUNDS
• General Fund - Used to account for all revenues and expenditures necessary to carry out basic governmental activities of the City that are not accounted for through other funds. For the City, the General Fund includes such activities as police protection, parks operation and maintenance, and legal and administrative services. • Measure I - A sub-fund of the General Fund and is used to account for the financial resources and expenditures associated with the ½-cent local district sales and use tax made effective for thirty years by the State Board of Equalization on transactions beginning April 1, 2017. Revenues collected from this general tax are legally unrestricted as to purpose; however, the City Council has determined to allocate Measure I resources towards streets and storm drains improvement projects.

INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
• Workers' Compensation and Liability Insurance - The City participates in a risk sharing pool with other California public agencies for liability and workers’ compensation coverage.

The City self-insures for the risks of earthquake and flood, and the property insurance program that protects all City property and assets includes a cyber-liability component, providing first and third-party liability coverage for security breaches. The cost associated with workers’ compensation is based on rates established by the carrier and allocated to the operating divisions and service centers. The cost of the liability program is allocated to all operating divisions and service centers based on claim losses in prior years.
• Self-Funded Vision - Used for the City’s dental and vision reimbursement plan for covered employees. • Fleet and Equipment Management - Used to collectively manage the purchase of vehicles and computer hardware.

The Fund also accounts for benefits related to retirees, such as retiree medical costs. The cost of these programs are paid by charging departments an amount sufficient to fund the program expressed as a percentage of base payrolls. 203

162 CITY OF BELMONT PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2023 BUDGET
Revenue and Expenditure Assumptions
A detailed discussion of the projection methodologies and major assumptions made for the fiscal year (FY) 2023 budget and corresponding long-term financial plan are presented below. This includes a discussion on factors impacting each major revenue and expenditure category. In general, assumptions for revenues are largely based on economic or other conditions outside the City’s control. Assumptions for expenditures, however, differ in that in many cases, the assumptions are predominantly under the City’s control.

GENERAL FUND REVENUES
Revenue Estimation Methodology
All revenue assumptions and projections are reviewed and revised each fiscal year. Considerable analysis is done to identify the key elements impacting major revenue sources, and this ensures that the projection methodology is as reliable as possible over the long term. Historical data trends indicate that significant swings in a number of major revenue categories can occur due to economic cycles. Therefore, projecting revenues based on the high point of the economic cycle overstates the City’s financial position significantly for future years and could result in spending patterns that cannot be sustained. Conversely, projecting revenues from the lowest point of the economic cycle understates the long-term financial position of the City and can cause unnecessary service reductions.

Property Taxes
Property Tax is the largest source of General Fund revenue, comprising nearly 40% of the total anticipated revenue for FY 2023, and nearly 60% of the total tax revenue, excluding Measure I. While the property tax base in Belmont has been very stable, actions coming from Sacramento which are outside the City’s control are threatening the City’s property tax revenue. In particular, the redevelopment residual revenues have been impacting the City for the past couple of years, which the City has taken extensive steps to address and mitigate. Property tax in lieu of VLF remains uncertain and Excess ERAF is threatened to be taken away. These issues are discussed in more detail below.

The City’s property tax revenue includes several main
categories:
• Secured Property Tax is the tax on real property and the structures on that real property.
• Redevelopment Pass-Through funds represent the City’s General Fund share of the pass-through payments made
to taxing entities based on the tax increment funds used by Successor Agency to pay remaining debt obligations.

These revenues are primarily from the secured tax base
in the former redevelopment project areas.
• Redevelopment Residual Revenues represent the
City’s designated share of tax increment from the former redevelopment project areas that are in excess of the Successor Agency’s required obligated payments. Similar to the redevelopment pass-through funds, these revenues are primarily from the secured tax base in the former redevelopment project areas. With the Successor Agency successfully dissolved in April 2022, as described in more detail below, the City’s redevelopment passthrough and residual revenues will revert to general secured property tax, and projected in the forecast to grow in proportion to the growth in assessed valuation.
• Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) is a mechanism used by the State to shift funding from local property tax dollars to public schools. When local property tax dollars shifted into ERAF exceed what is necessary to fund the schools, those excess funds are returned to the local taxing entities via Excess ERAF revenue. San Mateo County is one of the five counties in the State where Excess ERAF is generated. 210
FUND INFORMATION 163
Revenue and Expenditure Assumptions
• Property Tax in Lieu of VLF represents the swap of vehicle license fees (VLF) for property tax as part of a statelocal budget agreement in 2004. The agreement permanently reduced the VLF tax rate from 2% to 0.65%, and the difference is replaced with a like amount that is to be funded by property tax from non-basic aid school districts. Any monies taken from non-basic aid school districts are backfilled by the State. Subsequent to the fiscal year 2005 base year, property tax in lieu of VLF increases annually in proportion to the growth in assessed valuation.
• Unsecured Property Tax represents the tax on appurtenances such as furniture, machinery, and equipment. • Supplemental Property Tax is the result of reassessing the value of real property when there is a change of ownership or when new construction is completed after the official lien date. • Unitary Property Tax is assessed on property owned by utilities, such as power lines, cable, etc. • Homeowners’ Property Tax Relief revenues are reimbursements from the State for revenues lost due to the homeowners’ property tax exemption on the first $7,000 of assessed value of their principal place of residence.

Secured property tax, including excess ERAF and property tax in lieu of VLF, represents roughly 95% of the overall property tax revenue base for the City. Over 85% of the secured property tax base is from residential property. Proposition 13 limits the percentage increase of property tax value to 2% per year or the rate of inflation, whichever is lower. However, the base value is adjusted upon transfer of property to reflect the sales price. The average annual growth in secured property tax over the past 10 years, which included the extended period of economic growth subsequent to the Great Recession, has been 5.8%.

With the continued strong performance in the housing market, coupled with many residential properties that had been in long-term ownership changing hands which then increased the tax base value, secured property tax revenues are estimated to increase 8.5% in FY 2023. This estimate is based on the County Assessor’s Office estimated property tax roll as of May 2022. However, such extended growth is not expected in the long-term. The FY 2024 revenue projects a 5% growth, then gradually moving to a more conservative growth estimate of 4% through the remainder of the forecast. This factors in historic growth rates as well as the current economic environment.

One area that has been impacted by Sacramento’s actions outside of the City’s control relates to redevelopment
residual revenues. In August 2020, a decision made by the California Court of Appeals has modified the calculation on how redevelopment residual property tax is distributed by the County. The modified methodology excludes each entity’s AB1290 statutory pass-through payments when calculating the proportionate share of Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) that gets applied to the residual balance. For Belmont, this results in approximately $700,000 shortfall to the General Fund on an annual basis, and $900,000 shortfall to the Belmont Fire Protection District on an annual basis.

With such a significant and ongoing impact, Belmont has taken extensive steps to discharge obligations from the Successor Agency by seeking an early defeasance of the redevelopment agency (RDA) bonds. With obligations discharged from the Successor Agency, the Successor Agency can receive a final dissolution that will result in the shift of property tax revenues 211
164 CITY OF BELMONT PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2023 BUDGET
Revenue and Expenditure Assumptions
from RPTTF to general secured tax, thereby mitigating the shortfall to RDA residuals. In March and April of 2021, Belmont received approvals from the Successor Agency and County Oversight Board, respectively. After having 100 days to review, the Department of Finance (DOF) approved amendments to the Indentures and Last and Final ROPS in July 2021. With this approval, work to discharge the RDA bond obligations from the Successor Agency kicked into high gear, along with final reconciliations between the Successor Agency and the County. After all the obligations were successfully discharged, the County Oversight Board and DOF approved the dissolution of the Successor Agency in February and March of 2022, respectively, and the DOF recognized the final dissolution in April 2022. Belmont is the first Successor Agency in San Mateo County to achieve full dissolution, and in doing so, Belmont has successfully mitigated impacts to its redevelopment residual revenues. Starting FY 2023, without a Successor Agency, there will no longer be any property tax shift to RPTTF, and no longer any pass-through or residual revenues. Instead, property tax will revert to secured property and distributed accordingly.

For property tax in lieu of VLF, local taxing entities including Belmont are facing a shortfall as less school districts in San Mateo County are categorized as non-basic aid. Out of 26 school districts in San Mateo County, only 6 are non-basic aid. As such, the Countywide shortfall is projected to be over $56 million in FY 2022, and that grows as more school districts lose their non-basic aid status and flip to basic aid. For FY 2022, out of the $3.5 million VLF allocated for Belmont, Belmont is estimated to receive only $2.6 million, with the remaining $0.9 million as shortfall. Allocation for Belmont is projected to be $3.7 million in FY 2023 and continues to grow in the ten-year forecast based on assessed valuation growth,
but the shortfall is also projected to increase
as more school districts flip to basic aid. The
long-term forecast reflects that all school
districts will flip to basic aid in five years, and
correspondingly projects the full amount of
allocation as the amount of the shortfall by FY
2027. To recover from the shortfall, the County
has been submitting a claim for consideration
in the State’s budget that, if approved, gets
distributed two years later. It is important to note
that while the State has backfilled shortfalls in
previous years, there is no requirement for the
State to do so. That said, the long-term forecast
assumes that the State will backfill shortfalls
two years out. If this changes or as more data
becomes available, the long-term forecast will
be adjusted accordingly.

In an attempt to address the continuous shortfall in VLF, the State Department of Finance drafted a Budget Trailer Bill, with a May revise, that proposes using excess ERAF funds to backfill VLF shortfall. The State’s draft proposes capping excess ERAF at FY 2022 amounts, and any growth in excess ERAF thereafter, shall be used to pay for VLF shortfall. This change essentially requires counties and cities to pay for the State’s VLF obligations using monies that these local taxing agencies are already entitled to receive. Taking away excess ERAF from local taxing agencies and redirecting them to fund the State’s VLF obligation is contrary to the 2004 State budget compromise that established the current system and could raise potential constitutional issues. The State further adds a provision in the May revise indicating that if agencies seek legal action to protect their constitutional rights, the State will automatically deny any reimbursement requests to backfill VLF. If passed, this bill will have a devastating impact on the amount of excess ERAF local taxing agencies receive, as excess ERAF will be capped, and any growth in all future years on this funding source will be lost. Based on the County’s estimates, Belmont will stand to lose $7.2 million over the next ten years, of which $1.4 million is the loss in year ten. This loss will continue to grow annually in perpetuity. The County, local taxing entities within the County, and local representatives are putting on a strongly opposition the draft bill. For now, the long-term forecast assumes that the budget trailer bill will not pass, and that excess ERAF will not be taken away by the State. $1.5 million is budgeted in FY 2023, then grows gradually over the forecast to reflect the projected decrease in non-basic aid school districts, which will require less allocation of the ERAF shift funds.
212
FUND INFORMATION 165
Revenue and Expenditure Assumptions
A growth rate of 2% to 3% is assumed for supplemental and unitary property tax revenues, while Homeowners’ Property Tax Relief revenues are expected to remain flat due to the nature of that revenue source. Unsecured taxes are projected to increase at a more modest 1% rate to reflect the impact of depreciating values of unsecured property.

Sales Tax
Sales tax continues to recover from the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sales tax fell significantly in FY 2020, but some of the drop was attributable to the recognition of sales tax deferments from businesses.

As more data became available, businesses who were able to pay have continued to make their sales tax payments instead of deferring. At the onset of the pandemic, consumers with disposable income redirected their spending from leisure travel and dining to luxury auto purchases and online spending. With Belmont's major sales tax contributors coming from the autos category, their performance have helped towards the recovery in this revenue source. Further, sales tax from internet sales have begun to be unilaterally assessed by the end of 2019 as a result of the South Dakota v. Wayfair Supreme Court decision. With consumer behavior shifting heavily to online spending especially during the pandemic, sales tax performed above the trendline in FY 2021. However,
as restrictions ease on traveling and indoor activities, consumer behavior may likely shift from purchase of
goods, which is taxable, to purchase of services, which is non-taxable. The expectation and as reflected in the long-term financial plan is for sales tax, both the 1% and Measure I, to adjust back to a sustainable recovery close to the trendline. The local 1% sales tax is projected to be $4 million in FY 2023 and Measure I 0.50% sales tax is
projected to be $2.2 million in FY 2023. Both sources are projected to grow modestly between 2% and 3% annually
in the forecast.

Property Transfer Tax
Belmont collects a property transfer tax upon the transfer of any property within the City boundaries. This revenue source is driven by both property values and transaction volume. As a general law city, the tax rate that Belmont receives is $0.55 per $1,000, or 0.055%, of the sales value. Factoring in historic growth rates and the current economic environment, revenues are projected at $500,000 in FY 2023, then grows between 2% and 3% annually in the forecast.

Transient Occupancy Tax
Transient occupancy tax (TOT), or hotel room tax, is dependent on both the occupancy levels and room rates of the City’s hotel stock. This revenue is largely dependent on the overall health of the economy. In good economic times, both occupancy rates and room rates increase, but during recessionary periods, both go down, which can result in a significant reduction in TOT revenue. In Belmont, the existing hotel stock primarily caters to business travelers. Two new hotels went into operations within the last several years that increased the City’s hotel stock by 264 rooms, which expanded the overall tax base.

The COVID-19 pandemic stopped the growth abruptly, and the reactive nature of TOT to the economy was clearly demonstrated with an unprecedented 70% drop in TOT collections in fiscal year 2021. Occupancy rates dropped to single-digits and low two-digits during the pandemic when travel was restricted. As restrictions ease in fiscal year 2022, however, traveling, especially leisure traveling, began to recover. Business travel still lags, and is expected to recover slower especially as many companies are adapting to a hybrid model with virtual meetings.

As hotels in Belmont cater mostly to business travelers, this revenue source is projected to stay low and recover slowly. Revenues are projected to be $2.8 million in FY 2023, with occupancy rates projected at around 60%.

In the long-term forecast, revenues will gradually build back to pre-pandemic levels in three years, then the occupancy rates hold steady while room rates are projected to increase by 2% on an annual basis. 213
166 CITY OF BELMONT PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2023 BUDGET
Revenue and Expenditure Assumptions
Business License Tax
A business license tax is imposed on all persons or businesses doing business in Belmont. The payment of this tax is required prior to the commencement of business. Business license tax revenues have remained fairly consistent over the past several years. Revenues are projected at $1.1 million in FY 2023, then grows at a modest 2% annually in the long-term financial plan.

Franchise Fees
The City receives franchise payments from companies providing garbage, electricity, gas, and cable television services. In total, franchise revenue from the garbage service is approximately 55% of the total franchise revenue, electricity and gas service at approximately 20%, and cable television service at approximately 25%. Modest growth is expected from this revenue source, 2% annually in the forecast. For FY 2023, revenues are projected at $1.5 million.

Intergovernmental
Intergovernmental revenues are grants or reimbursements from other governmental agencies, including other cities, the county, the state, and the federal government. This revenue category also includes a payment from the Sewer Collections Fund for streets access. Based on known grants, reimbursements, and streets access payment, total revenues are projected to be approximately $242,000 in FY 2023, then grow modestly from there throughout the remainder of the forecast.

Service Charges
Service charges include police charges such as fingerprinting fees, police report fees, and alarm fees.

Predominately, however, service charges are funds transferred into the General Fund from other funds to cover the cost of city-wide administration. These costs cover a portion of expenditures related to the operation of the City Manager’s Office, City Attorney’s Office, City Clerk, Finance, and Human Resources. Other charges in this
revenue category are funds transferred from the Belmont Fire Protection District to cover for the cost of fire-related activities. These activities include fuel reduction and wildfire mitigation efforts provided by the Parks Department, as well as response to fire- and medical-related calls and fire-related code enforcement deficiencies provided by the Police
Department. In total, approximately $4.5 million is projected for service charges in FY 2023. Per best practices, the cost allocation model will be maintained and updated on an
annual basis to ensure alignment with the cost of providing administrative services throughout the City.

Fines and Forfeitures
Fines and forfeitures include parking and traffic-related citations. FY 2023 revenues are expected to be $165,000, and projected to grow modestly throughout the forecast.

Use of Money and Property
This revenue category includes interest earnings on the City’s investment portfolio, and lease and rental revenues.

The City invests its funds in LAIF, the Local Agency
Investment Fund program established by the State. Through the latest reporting period, the City’s investment portfolio is earning approximately 0.4 percent. While interest rates have been historically low, projections going forward for 214
FUND INFORMATION 167
Revenue and Expenditure Assumptions
investment earnings reflect the expectation that the City will gradually begin to earn more on its portfolio through gradually higher interest rates. Projections for lease and rental revenues are based on lease terms and agreement.

In total, this category of revenues is expected to generate approximately $938,000 in FY 2023.

Miscellaneous
This revenue category includes other smaller revenues not attached to other categories. FY 2023 revenues are projected at approximately $337,000 in FY 2023.

COVID-19 Federal Relief Funding
With the passage of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), federal relief funding was made available to state and local municipalities to help with the economic recovery from COVID-19. This one-time funding is allocated based on population, not in proportion of revenue loss. With a population of about 27,000, Belmont’s allocation is $6.4 million and will be remitted through the State split into two tranches, one at the beginning of FY 2022 and one in FY 2023, as reflected in the ten-year forecast. These funds will be used to help Belmont and those that have been impacted in Belmont to recover from the crisis.

GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES
Expenditure Estimation Methodology
Similar to the revenue assumptions, expenditure assumptions and projections are reviewed and revised each fiscal year. Unlike revenues, especially tax revenues, General Fund expenditures are largely under the control of the City. Because of that, assumptions for expenditure growth are generally able to be aligned with revenue growth where possible. In cases where an expenditure category is not under control of the City, as is the case for CalPERS pension contributions, the projected increases are treated as nondiscretionary and take precedence in terms of the allocation of resources, limiting the City’s flexibility to prioritize where funds are expended. Assumptions for each of the General Fund’s expenditure categories are discussed in detail below.

Personnel Costs
Personnel costs represent nearly 60% of total
General Fund expenditures, and total $16.8 million
for FY 2023. To best reflect the cost of the personnel
expenditure category, the ten-year forecast splits
costs into two categories: salaries, and benefits. This allows assumptions for cost increases in the two
categories to move independently from one another.

Assumptions for the major categories of personnel
expenditures are discussed in the detail below.

Increases for salaries and salary-related costs, such
as overtime, are initially based on existing contractual agreements or assumptions about the outcome
of ongoing and future negotiations. Beyond those
contractual assumptions, salary increases were set in
the ten-year forecast based on projected modest salary increases throughout the forecast. It is important to note that these are only projections of possible salary increases and do not reflect the actual salary adjustments that will be made in the future. There are a number of factors that have to be considered related to salary increases in the future, including the City’s economic condition, the amount of unassigned fund balance in the General Fund, labor negotiations, and our ability to compete in the market for employees.

As previously discussed, the cost of CalPERS pension contributions is not something the City has control over the way it does over many other expenditures. As a result, the ten-year forecast contains projected increases in the City’s contribution rates that were developed by a consulting actuary. These contribution rates, which have been 215
168 CITY OF BELMONT PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2023 BUDGET
Revenue and Expenditure Assumptions
adjusted to consider the employees’ share of the City’s contribution rates, factor in assumptions related to turnover of City employees and the fact that new employees will come in under lower pension formulas. The rates also factor in the most up-to-date information available about the economic and actuarial changes CalPERS has recently implemented, as well as updated investment return results. A couple of the significant factors include:
• The 4.7% actual return on the CalPERS investment portfolio for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 which was below the 7.0% target and will impact contribution costs starting in FY 2023. • The 21.3% actual return on the CalPERS investment portfolio for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, which was above the 7.0% target. However, that triggered CalPERS’ Funding Risk Mitigation Policy, and as affirmed through the Asset Liability Management process, lowered the discount rate, or expected rate of return, from

7.0% to 6.8%, with impacts to contribution costs starting in FY 2024. • The change in amortization period from 30 to 20 years that impacted contribution rates starting in FY 2022.

These factors have a significant impact on the City’s cost for employee pension benefits, and continue to put pressure on General Fund operations. The City’s pension cost in the General Fund is projected to increase from $3.8 million in FY 2023 to $4.6 million in FY 2032, and takes up about 15% of total operations. Even though CalPERS generated higher-than-expected returns for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, their risk mitigation policy got triggered, which lowered the discount rate from 7.0% to 6.8%. Concurrently, CalPERS went through their process of evaluating its Asset Liability Management (ALM), a formal process that runs on a four-year cycle which included a review of their investment portfolios, retirement plan liabilities, and expected rate of return. From that process, CalPERS affirmed the lowered 6.8% discount rate in November 2021.

With the discount rate, or expected rate of return,
at 6.8%, any returns that fall short of this target will create another layer of unfunded pension liability that increase total pension contribution. As of mid-May
2022, investment returns stand at -6.5%. If returns do
not meet the target rate by the end of June, pension
contribution costs for all CalPERS-contracted agencies, including Belmont, will increase. The further away
from the target rate in the negative direction, the
higher the increase will be. Pension contribution costs will continue to be monitored carefully, and as more
information becomes available, the ten-year financial
plan will be updated accordingly.

Overall, the pension cost in the General Fund makes up
over 50% of the total cost of employee fringe benefits.

Other major costs in this category include medical,
dental, and vision premiums paid by the City; Medicare taxes; workers’ compensation; and deferred compensation.

Medical insurance, which is the second-largest cost in this category, is set in the forecast to increase approximately 5% in FY 2023 and then taper off to approximately 4% annual increase throughout the long-term plan. These assumptions are based on historical trends and assumptions used by the consulting actuary in the valuation of the City’s retiree medical plan. For other benefit costs that move with salary increases, such as Medicare taxes, those are set to increase at the same rate as salaries in the ten-year financial plan.

Non-Personnel Costs
The remaining 50% of the General Fund’s expenditures consist of non-personnel costs. For the purpose of the tenyear forecast, non-personnel expenditures were broken down into two distinct categories: operating, and transfers out. A brief description of the types of expenditures in each category is provided below.

OPERATING
Operating expenditures, which total $7.1 million in fiscal year 2023, include spending on a wide variety of expenditure categories related to operation of the City. Some of the major expenditure categories include $1.6 216
FUND INFORMATION 169
Revenue and Expenditure Assumptions
million in professional and contract services, $318,000 in utilities costs, and $3.5 million in administrative and other costs.

Professional and contract services include service areas like the annual financial audit, consultants for special studies and staffing assistance, animal control, and maintenance of city parks and trees. Because expenditures in this category are largely within the City’s control, the long-term forecast holds the total budget in this category flat for four years before increasing the budget by 5% in year five. The remaining forecast years are then held flat.

Utilities costs include gas, electricity, and water costs. For the ten-year forecast, the annual increase is set at 3%.

These increases consider expected
growth in costs, which are largely
beyond the City’s control, although
increased conservation efforts can
help control expenditure growth in
this area.

And finally, the administrative and
other expenditures consist of the
“rental rate” the departments are
charged to cover the cost of funding
the replacement of city computers,
vehicles, and equipment from the
Fleet and Equipment Management
Fund. Funds are collected for
replacement while the vehicle/
equipment is still in use so that
adequate funds are available at the
time when replacement is necessary.

This expenditure category also includes charges to cover for building maintenance in City facilities from the Facilities Management Fund.

TRANSFER OUT
This category of funding includes the transfers the General Fund makes to various funds to fund ongoing and one-time needs. Ongoing items are to support costs in other funds that are not fully recovered through user fees.

They include transfers to support the Recreation Fund, Development Services Fund, Street Maintenance Fund, and the Storm Drainage Fund. Total transfers are approximately $4.4 million in FY 2023, and increases to $6.7 million throughout the forecast. Additional detail about the City’s funds can be found in the accompanying longterm financial plans in this Fund Information section of the budget document.

MEASURE I
Measure I is the ½-cent transaction and use sales tax that Belmont voters passed in 2016 that became effective in April 2017. This locally-controlled funding source has greatly enhanced the City’s ability to invest in roadway repairs. While Measure I is a sub-fund of the General Fund, the sales tax from Measure I and projects funded by Measure I are presented in its own long-term financial plan for tracking purposes.

Measure I sales tax is budgeted at $2.2 million in FY 2023, and grows between 2% and 3% annually in the forecast. A total of $11.2 million is included in the five-year capital improvement plan, funding for slurry seal, pavement rehabilitation, and storm drain infrastructure improvements. Measure I revenues will continue to be monitored carefully, and funding adjustments will be made in the long-term financial plan as appropriate.

Resources Over/(Under) Requirements and Fund Balance
The long-term financial forecast includes all known and assumed resource demands. It provides a comprehensive view of the demand for the City’s resources and allows Council to prioritize how those resources should be allocated. As demonstrated in the ten-year forecast, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted revenues 217
170 CITY OF BELMONT PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2023 BUDGET
Revenue and Expenditure Assumptions
in Belmont that are slow to recover, as is the case with TOT, a major revenue source in the General Fund.

The ARPA federal funding allocation is helping to recover some of the revenue loss, and as demonstrated in the forecast, is boosting the fund balance in FY 2022 and FY 2023. However, that funding is only one-time.

Meanwhile, costs for operations remain, and continue to grow throughout the forecast. Ongoing support in the form of fund transfers to other funds that are not achieving cost recovery put further pressure on the General Fund. All this result in a draw down on fund balance and place a strain to maintain operations at current service levels. On top of that, actions from the State that are outside of the City’s control is threatening property tax, the General Fund’s top revenue source. The long-term plan illustrates that even with the success in mitigating the impact to redevelopment residuals, and even with expenditure reduction strategies such as funding freezes on certain vacant positions, resources are not able to meet demands in each year of the plan from FY 2024 until FY 2032. The fund balance that has been diligently built up over the past several years are getting drawn down through the forecast and will fall below the 33% target reserve level in FY 2031. This depletion of fund balance places significant pressure on operations and threatens provision of services at current levels. That said, the longterm forecast allows the City to foresee structural imbalances, and plan ahead to position itself towards long-term sustainability. A community engagement effort from the spring of 2021 shows that enhancing locally controlled revenues to support fiscal sustainability is a key priority. With this input, the City has begun to identify opportunities to diversify and expand the City’s revenue sources, including an update to the business license tax and transient occupancy tax ordinances and rates, and exploring a Community Facilities District formation that will allow new developments to pay its fair share so current service levels are not diluted. Implementing a long-term financial sustainability plan will be the focus of the FY 2024 budget development and beyond. 218

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 219
FY 2023 Capital Improvement Program
STREETS $8.8M
Includes Measure I, Measure A and Measure W
Improvement Projects, general street improvements
and RMRA street projects.

FACILITIES $760K
Includes improvements to recreational and general
facilities, and facilities management.

SEWER/STORM $8.6M
Includes improvements to the sewer infrastructure
and storm drainage systems.

PARKS/OPEN SPACE $400K
Includes Library maintenance and operations,
planned park development, open space
maintenance/improvements and maintenance of
athletic fields.

TECHNOLOGY $750K
Includes improvements to communication
infrastructure, fleet and equipment.

The City includes the cost of all acquisition, construction, expansion or rehabilitation of its physical plant and facilities in the Capital Improvement Budget. At present, the City faces an aging infrastructure dilemma with hundreds of millions of dollars in street and storm drain infrastructure needs alone, in addition to deferred maintenance needs for the City’s facilities and parks. It’s well understood that the City’s assets will remain in good condition with periodic investments, and will move to poor condition when they are not, at significantly greater cost in the future.

With 70 miles of street pavement which has an average rating of “fair” condition and 28 miles of storm drain pipes, many of which are deficient, the task of addressing the backlog of deferred maintenance is formidable.

Nonetheless, the FY 2023 Budget, strengthened with continued funding from Measure I, Measure W, and the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, takes meaningful steps towards improving this situation by funding a number of important infrastructure projects.

The City’s five-year CIP plan is $72.7 million, with the CIP budget for FY 2023 at $19.3 million. The chart above shows allocation of the CIP budget in FY 2023 to the different categories.

Asset Category: Storm Line Project #: 6001
This program is intended to fund improvements to the City's storm drainage infrastructure that are not identified during the fiscal year and to reduce intrusion and infiltration to the storm drainage infrastructure. During the winter season, it often becomes apparent that the drainage systems that are in adequate condition has failed and require repair or replacement. Drainage improvement projects typically include: 1. Repair or replacement of corroded corrugated metal pipes (CMP); 2. Realignment or replacement of reinforced concrete pipes (RCP); 3. Repair of existing catch basins; 4. Repair of existing gutter or to control surface runoff; 5. Repair of existing sub-drains to remove surface and shallow flows.

Storm Drainage
Project: Storm Drain CIP Project Fund: 525 Storm Drainage Neighborhood: Citywide Division: 730
Asset Category: Storm Line Project #: 6045
In 2008, the City finished a Storm Drain Master Plan that addresses areas of deficiencies in the City's stormwater system. Project priorities were established as follows: Priority 1 - Private property flooding improvements, Undersized CMP improvements, and Aging CMP improvements; Priority 2 - Improvements to correct existing undersized lines where the excess flow is not readily conveyed within the street; Priority 3 - Improvements correcting existing undersized lines where there is adequate flow capacity within the street to convey the excess runoff. Addressing these deficiencies will fix I&I problems for the sewer lines. The Master Plan has identified $5.8M for Priority 1 projects. The location for replacement and relining will be prioritized depending on the existing condition and risk of failure.

Deferred Capital Maintenance - Streets
The City’s street infrastructure includes approximately 70 centerline miles (140 travel lane miles) of street pavement, as well as 8 traffic signals, 1,431 street lights, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, street signs and retaining walls.

The City’s street pavement condition index (PCI) has been steadily improving during past several years due to capital improvement and maintenance projects. The PCI data are listed below:
• 2014 PCI = 56
• 2017 PCI = 59
• 2020 PCI = 63
• 2021 PCI = 68
In addition, City staff is in the process of adopting
pavement restoration standards that would require
developers and utility companies to provide additional
pavement restoration during private development
projects and utility installation.

Beginning in FY 2018, the Governor authorized the Road
Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) Fund to
provide $15 billion for local streets and roads over the next ten years, of which Belmont is expected to receive $6.37 million. Additionally, Council initially determined to allocate a minimum of $1,000,000 (or 80%) in Measure
I resources towards the Street Repair and Related
Improvement Program.

Remaining Gas Tax revenues are insufficient and the
City’s General Fund remains at risk from unanticipated
failures and emergency response.

312 CITY OF BELMONT PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2023 BUDGET
Deferred Capital Maintenance - Storm Drain
The City’s drainage and water pollution prevention infrastructure consist of 28 miles of storm drain pipes and 2 storm pump stations.

The existing 28 miles of storm lines are made up of:

1. Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP) [11,300 feet citywide, 2.1 miles]

2. Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP) [132,800 feet citywide, 14.3 miles]

3. High-Density Polyethylene Pipe (HDPE) and Polyvinyl Chloride Pipe (PVC) [61,526 feet citywide, 11.6 miles] Throughout the City are areas that do not have adequate drainage infrastructure.

In 2009, the City completed a Storm Drainage Study which documented the existing City storm drainage system as
deficient. The cost to correct the deficiencies was estimated at $44 million. These costs were updated in late 2013, to an estimated $57.1 million, as described on the following page.

The City has started the Storm Drain Master Plan Update project which will be using previously adopted 2007 Sanitary Sewer Master Plan as well as all subsequent studies, to identify strategies for planning, budgeting and improving the City’s storm drain system based physical condition of the system, and redevelopment plans. At the conclusion of the Storm Drain Mater Plan update, a prioritized short- and long-term Capital Improvement Program (CIP) plan with detailed descriptions and cost estimates will be prepared.

To the extent storm drainage infiltrates and intrudes into the City’s sewer system, repairs can be made from sewer fees. Council determined initially to allocate $300,000 annually in Measure I resources towards the repair and replacement of deficient pipes, installation of new storm pipes, where currently none exist, to help with storm and flooding issues, and installation of curb and gutter improvements. Otherwise, there is no dedicated revenue source for Storm Drain Infrastructure repairs and, as a consequence, the City’s General Fund is exposed to risk from failures.

Deferred Capital Maintenance - Sewers
The City’s sewer infrastructure consists of 80 miles of sewer pipelines, 10 sewer pump stations and approximately 3 miles of force (pressurized) mains.

Wastewater flows east to the Belmont Sewer Pump Station, operated by the Silicon Valley Clean Water (SVCW), located on Shoreway Road. The wastewater is then pumped to the SVCW sewer treatment plant in Redwood Shores
for processing and discharge into the San Francisco Bay.

The SVCW is currently replacing the Belmont Sewer Pump
Station and associated force main with a gravity pipe. The project is anticipated to end in 2023. The Hiller Gravity Pipe Replacement Project will be constructed in summer 2022. The Hiller Sanitary Sewer Pump Station will be designed as part of the development at Old County Road and is anticipated for construction in 2023; City will be responsible for constructing these improvements.

Many of Belmont’s sewer pipelines were installed 50
to 90 years ago, and are in dire need of rehabilitation, replacement or upsizing. In addition, the pump stations and force mains are also in need of rehabilitation. The estimated costs of this work are noted on the following page. These costs exclude the deferred maintenance at the SVCW sewer treatment plant. That project is in excess of $0.5 billion, of which Belmont is partially responsible.

A separate fee has been adopted to pay for those costs
Public Works has selected a consultant and started work on a Sanitary Sewer Master Plan Update that will use the previously adopted 2007 Sanitary Sewer Master Plan, as well as all subsequent studies, to identify strategies for planning, budgeting and improving the City’s wastewater system based physical condition of the system, -current flow demands, and redevelopment plans. At the conclusion of the Sanitary Sewer Mater Plan update, a prioritized short- and long-term Capital Improvement Program (CIP) plan with detailed descriptions and cost estimates will be prepared.

The City Council has adopted a plan to fully fund sewer infrastructure from sewer fees.

Deferred Capital Maintenance - Facilities
The City of Belmont manages over 160,000 square feet of built space in facilities spread across the City and construction over a period of over 100 years. The facilities require considerable investment to ensure continued use and resolve deferred maintenance issues, including:
• The Manor Building, consisting of 5,725 square feet and being one of the oldest buildings in Belmont, was constructed in 1908 and refurbished in 2009, will require a fire sprinkler system and lighting; • Barrett Community Center, originally constructed in 1949 as a school, was converted to a community center, and is a facility that is at the end of its useful life. A conceptual design plan was approved in 2019, community support
and funding sources are being considered;
• Belmont Library, built in 2006, is a heavily used facility, requires constant maintenance and presents challenges
related to building style and type;
• City Hall, built in 1983, was substantially remodeled in 2006, and needs selected flooring replacement.
• Fire Station 15, located at the corner of Cipriani and Ralston, has been identified for replacement.

With the exception of the Belmont Library, which has a dedicated revenue source, the balance of facilities has no recurring revenue and represents a risk to the City's General Fund or Fire Protection District in the event of failure.

Deferred Capital Maintenance - Parks
The City of Belmont manages 16 parks, 11 athletic fields, and 335 acres of open space including 10 miles of trails, street medians, and rights-of-way which represent a significant public investment, but suffer from deferred maintenance.

Belmont’s athletic fields are in need of renewal. The
irrigation systems are antiquated, require constant repair and should be replaced. The turf suffers from broad leaf weeds and the irrigation systems do not function properly.

The turf at the Belmont Sports Complex was replaced in
2020 to reduce maintenance and improve the environment.

Additional investment is needed to upgrade existing
playgrounds and restrooms, complete additional park
improvements, and perform trail maintenance in Belmont’s open space with the goal of reducing the danger of wildfire and enhancing the recreational use. The Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Master Plan is underway to assess and prioritize improvements. Park capital funding is contingent upon new development projects. Consequently, existing facilities have little to no recurring funding source and are dependent upon the City’s General Fund for repair, maintenance and replacement in the event of failure.

APPENDIX
APPENDIX 321369
322 CITY OF BELMONT PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2023 BUDGET

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The City of Belmont has evolved with a variety of financial policies that can be found in many different sources,
including City Council resolutions and budget documents.

The set of policies within this document, accompanying
each year with the City’s budget, serves as a central
reference point of the most important of our policies, which are critical to the continued financial health of our local government.

Written financial policies have many benefits, such
as assisting elected officials and staff in the financial management of the City, saving time and energy when
discussing financial matters, engendering public confidence, and providing continuity over time as elected officials and staff members change. While these policies will be
amended periodically, they provide the basic foundation and framework for many of the issues and decisions facing the City. They promote sound financial management and assist in the City’s stability, efficiency, and effectiveness.

The following policies are divided into ten (10) general categories for ease of reference. These categories include:

1. General Policies

2. Accounting, Auditing, and Financial Reporting Policies

3. Fund Balance and Reserve Policies

4. Pension and Retirement Funding Policies

5. Internal Service Fund Policies

6. Debt Policies

7. Revenue Policies

8. Capital Improvement Policies

9. Investment Policies

10. Operating Budget Policies
Except as otherwise noted, all policies included in this document are currently adhered to.

Additionally, included at the end of this section are specific policy benchmarks along with their status.

GENERAL
The City will:
• Manage its financial assets in a sound and prudent
manner.
• Maintain and further develop programs to ensure its
long-term ability to fund core services and pay all costs necessary to provide the level and quality of service
required by its citizens.
• Establish and maintain investment policies that are in accordance with State laws.

ACCOUNTING, AUDITING, AND

FINANCIAL REPORTING
Financial Information
The City of Belmont will provide all financial information in a thorough, timely fashion, and in a format that is easy for City Council, citizens, and City employees to understand and utilize.

Accounting Standards
The City’s accounting of financial systems shall be maintained in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), standards of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), and the Government Finance Officers
Association (GFOA).

Annual Audit
An independent public accounting firm will perform an annual audit, and its opinions will be included in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and presented to the Audit
Committee at a public meeting.

It is the City’s goal to maintain accounting records, processes, and procedures in such a manner as to receive an unmodified audit opinion and to maintain a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the GFOA.

FUNDING BALANCE AND RESERVES
The City utilizes a variety of accounting funds for recording revenues and expenditures of the City. At the end of each fiscal year-end, appropriated expenditure authority lapses, with the exception of operating expenses and capital project spending that have been incurred but not paid (encumbered).

The remaining dollars left in each fund constitute available funds of the City. The City’s fund balances are classified in accordance with GAAP which require the City to classify its fund balances based on spending constraints imposed on the use of resources. For programs with multiple funding sources, the City prioritizes and expends funds in the following order:

Financial Policies
370
APPENDIX 323
Restricted, Committed, Assigned, and Unassigned. Each
category in the following hierarchy is ranked according to the degree of spending constraint:
• Nonspendable fund balances represent balances that
do not represent available, spendable resources even
though they are a component of assets. Fund balances
required to be maintained intact, such as assets not
expected to be converted to cash, including prepaids,
notes receivable, and land held for resale are included. • Restricted fund balances have external restrictions
imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, laws,
regulations, or enabling legislation which requires the resources to be used only for a specific purpose.
• Committed fund balances have constraints imposed by
resolution of the City Council which may be altered only by resolution of the City Council.
• Assigned fund balances are amounts constrained by the City’s intent to be used for a specific purpose, but are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is expressed by the City Council or its designee and may be changed
at the discretion of the City Council or its designee.

Through a Council Resolution, the City Council has
designated the City Manager to determine the amount
of assigned fund balances.
• Unassigned fund balance represents residual amounts
that have not been restricted, committed, or assigned.

The residual classification for the General Fund, the
only governmental fund that can report a positive
unassigned fund balance. Other funds might have a
negative unassigned fund balance due to overspending
restricted, committed, or assigned amounts.

General Fund
The General Fund reserve will be targeted in an amount
equal to at least 33% of the annual General Fund operating expenditure budget, with a $5 million minimum. This reserve is designed to be used in the event of significant financial emergency: for catastrophic events such as an earthquake, and for service stability to moderate the impact of economic cycles. City Council may, at its discretion, reserve additional funds above the minimum. Such additional reserves may be set aside for specific purposes, such as capital projects, for known significant future cost items, or as general operational reserves.

In addition, the City Council utilizes long term forecasting to determine the adequacy of the General Fund reserve.

Consistent with GFOA best practice, the General Fund
reserve often may require a level of reserve significantly in excess of the recommended minimum or target levels, when considering the balance in context with the results of longterm forecast, thereby avoiding the risk of placing too much emphasis upon the level of reserve in the General Fund at any one time.

The City Council also established a $250,000 Contingency appropriation that may be used to pay for an emergency
or an uncertain occurrence. The use of contingency funds requires City Council approval.

PENSION AND RETIREMENT FUNDING
The City contracts with the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) for pension benefits. The City will make minimum annual payments for the employer share equal to the required Annual Required Contribution (ARC) established by actuarial valuation but, in any given year, no less than the normal cost.

INTERNAL SERVICE FUND
Fleet and Equipment Management Fund
The City will annually budget sufficient funds to provide for the orderly replacement of the City’s vehicles, equipment, and other major capital outlay, including technology.

Replacement of these assets will be funded through user departments, which are adjusted annually based on the
departments’ proportionate share of estimated expenses.

Sufficient reserves will be maintained in the Fleet and Equipment Management Fund to provide for the scheduled
replacement of assets at the end of their useful lives.

Facilities Management Fund
The City will annually budget sufficient funds to provide for orderly building maintenance and repair, and replacement of furnishings. The fund is supported by charges to user departments which are adjusted annually based on the
department’s proportionate share of estimated expenses.

Sufficient reserves will be maintained in the Facilities Management Fund to provide for building maintenance and repair, and replacement of furnishings at the end of their useful lives.

Financial Policies
371
324 CITY OF BELMONT PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2023 BUDGET
Risk Management Funds
The City maintains a Liability Insurance Fund and a Worker’s Compensation Insurance Fund for the purpose of property, liability, and workers’ compensation expenses. The funds are supported by charges to other City funds for the
services it provides. These annual charges for service
shall reflect historical experience and shall be established to approximately equal the annual expenses of the funds.

The City is a member of Public Risk Innovation, Solutions, and Management (PRISM) for general liability, worker’s
compensation and other coverage. PRISM is a public
entity risk pool of cities and counties within California. Loss contingency reserves established by PRISM are funded by contributions from member agencies. The City will pay an annual contribution to PRISM, which includes its pro-rata share of excess insurance premiums, charges for pooled
risk, claims adjusting and legal costs, and administrative and other costs to operate the risk pool.

The City will complete an actuarial valuation of these funds every other year. Separate reserves shall be maintained for current and long-term general liability and workers’ compensation liability at a level which will adequately fund the City’s potential loss exposure in each area. The practice is to establish reserves in both funds at least at the marginally acceptable level as determined by the actuarial report.

DEBT
The City is bound by a provision in State law limiting
indebtedness for California cities to 15% of the assessed value of all real and personal property of the City. The City has been prudent in its use of debt to finance projects and major purchases. Prior to the issuance of any debt, the funding source for the debt service is identified and designated. The level of debt to which the City obligates itself is managed within available resources and represents a minimal cost to general taxpayers. By managing the
repayment of new debt, current City operations are not
affected.

REVENUE
General Fund Revenue
To shelter itself from exposure from a decrease in any
one revenue source, the City will strive to develop and maintain a diversified and reliable revenue stream. Efforts will be directed to optimize existing revenue sources while periodically reviewing potential new revenue sources.

Budgeted revenues will be estimated conservatively
using accepted standards and estimates provided by the
state, other governmental agencies, or reliable economic forecasters, when available.

Grants
The City shall aggressively seek State and Federal financial support unless conditions attached to that assistance are contrary to the City’s interest. Prior to applying for and accepting intergovernmental aid, the City will examine the matching requirements so that a source and availability of these funds may be determined before a grant application is made. Local tax dollars will not be used to make up for losses of intergovernmental aid without first reviewing the program and its merits.

User Service Fees
The City may impose user fees wherever appropriate.

Such fees will recover the cost of providing the service, demonstrating a nexus to benefits received, including
all direct and indirect costs, administrative overhead, depreciation, etc. By policy, Council may direct certain fees to be lowered for particular purposes. Waivers of user fees will be presented for Council approval as appropriate.

Certain fees are based upon market conditions and are not subject to the limitations of cost recovery. These fees may be adjusted periodically by the City Council. In general, fees will be reviewed no less than annually to ensure that full cost recovery levels are identified.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
Five Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
The City shall annually prepare a capital improvement
spending program, projecting capital needs for a five-year period. The CIP shall provide for the systematic repair and/ or replacement of existing capital assets. The CIP shall directly relate to the long-range plans and policies of the City. Operating funds to maintain capital improvements
and additional staff needs will be estimated and identified prior to making the decision to undertake a specific capital improvement. The first year of the five-year CIP will be consistent with, and adopted as a component of, the annual operating budget.

Financial Policies
372
APPENDIX 325
Enterprise Fund Capital Improvements
Capital Improvements funded from the Enterprise Fund shall be paid for in combination of “pay-as-you-go” financing and the use of long-term debt. The City shall periodically review its enterprise capital needs and establish capital spending plans that are appropriate and reflect a combination of debt and “pay-as-you-go,” while attempting to keep the enterprise service rates competitive with those in the surrounding area.

INVESTMENT
The City Council shall annually review and update, or
modify as appropriate, the City’s investment policy. Reports on the City’s investment portfolio shall be developed and presented to the City Council regularly. City funds will be managed in a prudent and diligent manner with emphasis on safety, liquidity, and yield, in that order.

OPERATING BUDGET
Balanced Operating Budget
The City Council and Belmont Fire Protection District
(BFPD) Board shall adopt a balanced budget where
operating revenues are equal to, or exceed, operating
expenditures. Any year-end operating surpluses will revert to unappropriated balances for use in maintaining reserve levels set by policy or available for capital projects and/or “one-time only” expenditures.

Budget Document
The budget document shall serve as the official financial plan for the City. It will serve as the policy document of the City Council for implementing Council goals and objectives.

The budget shall provide staff the resources necessary to accomplish City Council determined service levels.

The City Manager shall annually prepare and present a
proposed operating budget to the City Council and BFPD
Board, and City Council and BFPD Board shall adopt said budget no later than June 30 of each year.

Budget Control and Accountability
Department heads are responsible for containing
expenditures within their budgeted appropriations
as approved by the City Council. The City Manager
is authorized to transfer appropriations between any
departments that do not exceed the total appropriations of any fund. Subsequent to the adoption of the budget,
all additional changes to the budget that have a financial impact at the fund level require City Council approval.

Gann Appropriations Limit
Gann Appropriations Limit as Defined in Article XIII B of the California State Constitution The voters of California, during a special election in 1979, approved Article XIII-B of the California State Constitution.

Informally known as the “Gann Initiative,” Article XIII-B provides limits regarding the total amount of appropriations in any fiscal year from “the proceeds of taxes.”
The State Legislature, in 1980, added Section 7900 et seq. to the Government Code, providing that the governing body of each local jurisdiction must establish, by resolution, an appropriations limit for the following year. The appropriations limit for any fiscal year was equal to the previous year’s limit, adjusted for population changes and the changes in the US Consumer Price Index (or California per capita personal income, if smaller). The necessary statistical information is provided by the California Department of Finance.

However, the original Article XIII-B (Proposition 4) and its implementing legislation were modified by Proposition 111 and SB 88 by the voters in June 1990. The changes were incorporated into the fiscal year 1990-91 and fiscal year 1991-92 appropriations limits. Beginning with the fiscal year 1990-91 appropriations limit, a city may choose annual adjustment factors. The adjustment factors include the growth in the California per capita income or the growth in the non-residential assessed valuation due to construction within the City and the population growth within the County or the City.

The tables below provide the calculation for the appropriations limit for fiscal year 2023. The adjustment factors utilized for the fiscal year 2023 calculation include the growth in California per capita income and the population growth within the County of San Mateo. Those two factors yielded the most favorable appropriations limit for the City and the Belmont Fire Protection District.

Legal Bonded Debt Margin
California Government Code, Section 43605 sets the debt limit at 15% of the secured property assessed value of the City. The Code section was enacted prior to the change in basing assessed value to full market value when it was previously 25% of market value. Thus, the limit shown as 3.75% is one-fourth the limit to account for the adjustment of showing assessed valuation at full cash value. Using this adjusted methodology, the calculation below shows the debt limit and legal bonded debt margin based on FY 2022 assessed value, and the corresponding table includes historical values.
