7. Budget Referral: Street Maintenance Funding to Prevent Further Deterioration of Pavement Condition to Save Tax Dollars and Our Streets (Reviewed by the Budget & Finance Committee)
From: Councilmember Kesarwani (Author), Councilmember Droste (Co- Sponsor), Councilmember Taplin (Co-Sponsor), Councilmember Wengraf (Co- Sponsor)
Recommendation: Refer to the FY 2022-23 budget process to establish a three- year plan (FY 2022-23 through FY 2024-25) to fully fund an adequate street paving budget that prevents further deterioration of the City’s pavement condition. At the end of the three-year period, the fiscal plan should allocate a minimum total of $8 million in additional ongoing annual General Fund—bringing the total street paving annual budget to at least $15.1 million—the minimum amount needed to maintain pavement condition, as identified by our Public Works Department.
We recommend that the City slightly exceed the $8 million General Fund need by contributing $3 million in ongoing funds in FY 2022-23, an additional $3 million of ongoing funds in FY 2023-24, and a final addition of $3 million in ongoing funds in FY 2024-25. This total of $9 million, in addition to the existing allocation of $7.3 million for annual street maintenance, will provide the City with about $1.2 million more than the minimum total of $15.1 million to account for inflation.
A three-year plan is suggested to give the City time to gradually enhance street paving resources, and annual inflation adjustments are recommended in out-years in order to ensure that maintenance funds remain adequate over time as construction costs rise. A dollar of maintenance early in a street’s life-cycle saves $8 later in the street’s life-cycle due to avoided rehabilitation and/or reconstruction costs associated with failing streets, making this budget request an urgent matter of fiscal oversight.
Policy Committee Recommendation: On April 19, 2022, the Budget & Finance Policy Committee sent the item to Council with a positive recommendation to: 1. Formally refer the item to FY 23-24 Biennial Budget Process; 2. State the Committee’s recommendation that the City Council prioritize available General Fund revenues to supplement the street paving budget to prevent further deterioration; 3. To recommend that Council consider this proposed approach to develop an expenditure plan for street paving; 4. Set a goal of allocating an additional $3-8 Million in ongoing General Fund revenues.

ORDINANCE NO. 7,812-N.S.
PUBLIC ART FUNDING FOR MUNICIPAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS; ADDING BERKELEY MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 6.13
BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the City of Berkeley as follows:
Section 1. That Berkeley Municipal Code Chapter 6.13 is added as follows:
6.13 APPROPRIATION FOR PUBLIC ART FOR MUNICIPAL CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
6.13.010 Purpose.
The City of Berkeley believes that the cultivation and development of a livable city is enhanced by the presence of public art and creative expressions available for the enjoyment of all members of the community. Public art enhances community vitality, fosters a sense of belonging, and provides opportunities to meaningfully involve community members in the design of their environment. Furthermore, public art provides professional opportunities for artists, which contributes to the economic sustainability of the arts community. The City of Berkeley is committed to strengthening its municipal public art program by enhancing the funds available for public art and ensuring flexibility to provide equitable public art experiences in the City of Berkeley that are timely, meaningful, and relevant. Therefore, it is the purpose of this Chapter and the policy of this City to provide for the allocation of one and three quarters percent (1.75%) of the estimated cost of construction associated with municipal capital improvement projects to be paid into the Public Art Fund, which shall be used for art and cultural enrichment of public buildings, parks, streets, and other public spaces in the City of Berkeley.
6.13.020 Public Art Fund Allocation.
(a) It shall be City policy to set aside one and three quarters percent (1.75%) of its estimated capital improvement project (CIP) budgets, as defined in this section, for the purpose of providing public art. Except as provided in this section, all CIP projects shall be subject to this policy, including but not limited to buildings, shelters, parking garages and lots, restrooms, small structures, parks, medians, landscaping, plazas, gateways, bridges, walls, tunnels, street and road construction. CIP projects include new construction, as well as renovations and alterations. Salaries and benefits of public employees supporting CIP projects shall not be included in the CIP budget subject to this ordinance. This policy shall apply to all capital improvement projects included in the annual capital improvement program (CIP) budget, as well as capital improvement projects funded through any amendment to the annual appropriation ordinance.
(b) The following CIP projects are excluded from this policy:
(i) ADA compliance projects (not including projects where ADA compliance is a portion of a larger project).
29 Ordinance No. 7,812-N.S. Page 2 of 5
(ii) Emergency repair projects.
(iii) Cyclical replacement and repair of trails, outdoor furnishings, or fencing (not including projects where these are a portion of a larger project). (iv) Studies and environmental review.
(v) Roof replacement (not including projects where roof replacement is a portion of a larger project).
(vi) Mechanical, security, A/V equipment, and HVAC, upgrades and repairs (not including projects where these are a portion of a larger project). (vii) Utilities projects, except where the project includes construction or reconstruction of a building.
(viii) Vehicle repair and replacement.
(ix) IT purchases and installations.
(x) Seismic upgrades and waterproofing (not including projects where these are a portion of a larger project).
(xi) Projects where the majority (more than 50%) of the cost is allocated to elements located underground.
(xii) Projects where prohibited by federal or state law, including projects or portions of projects funded by grants from non-city sources that prohibit expenditure of funds for art.
6.13.030 Reasonable efforts to include funds for public art. (a) City staff shall use reasonable efforts to obtain appropriate approvals from any funding source for any capital improvement project, to allow use of one and three quarters percent (1.75%) of such funds for the acquisition of public art as provided in this title. Such efforts shall include, without limitation, identifying public art in grant applications for capital improvement projects, efforts to include expenditures for public art in developer funded infrastructure projects, and efforts to allocate for public art in developer-constructed infrastructure and public facilities. (b) If the city enters into an agreement with another public entity, whereby city funds are transferred to such other public entity for the capital improvement project that would otherwise be deemed subject to the public art requirements under this title, city staff shall use reasonable efforts to include in such agreement, whenever it is lawful to do so, a requirement that the recipient entity or its successor in interest shall take appropriate measures to insure that not less than one and three quarters percent (1.75%) of the city funds so transferred are expended for acquisition of public art.
30 Ordinance No. 7,812-N.S. Page 3 of 5
(c) Before proposing a bond issue or making a request for an appropriation for the construction of any of the projects set forth in this Chapter, the officer, board or commission concerned shall add thereto for the Public Art allocation associated with the proposed CIP project, one and three quarters percent (1.75%) of the gross estimated construction cost. Where funding eligibility is limited by law or funding agency rules, the Public Art allocation shall be based upon one and three quarters percent (1.75%) of eligible construction costs. For any public bond raising funds for capital percentage, the designated Public Art allocation percentage will be stated in the bond language presented to voters.
(d) Nothing in this section is intended to prohibit the city council from adopting an ordinance or resolution establishing a public art contribution for any project otherwise excluded from this policy or setting the public art contribution for any project at greater than one and three quarters percent (1.75%) of the CIP budget. (e) Aggregation of Funds. Funds shall be deposited into the Public Art Fund. Per BMC Chapter 6.14, the Civic Art Commission shall determine public or publicly-accessible sites for art funded by the one and three quarters percent (1.75%) for art policy. Funds may be expended on public art at any appropriate site within the city. Funds from two or more CIP projects may be pooled to fund a single work of art. Funds may be used for permanent or temporary public art.
(f) The Civic Arts Commission shall recommend and the Council, by resolution, shall adopt guidelines for the administration and implementation of this chapter.
6.13.040 Definitions. For purposes of this Section:
"Alteration" of a building, aboveground structure, or transportation improvement project shall include substantial changes to elements such as walls, partitions, or ceilings on 2/3 or more of the total floor space, excluding basements.

6.13.050 Administrative Fees.
The Civic Arts Commission shall supervise and control the expenditure of all funds appropriated for public art and shall allocate up to twenty percent (20%) of said funds for all necessary and reasonable administrative costs incurred in connection therewith unless such administrative fee is limited or prohibited by the funding source.
6.13.060 Maintenance and Conservation Funds.
The Civic Arts Commission may set aside and expend up to ten percent (10%) of the total public art allocation for each project for maintenance and conservation of artworks in the Public Art Collection. When permitted by the funding source, funds set aside pursuant to this Section shall be invested in an interest-bearing account when the total of such funds set aside exceeds $10,000.
6.13.070 Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a) Construction and installation of public art shall comply with the requirements of all applicable building codes, laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. (b) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to limit or abridge the jurisdiction of the officer, board or commission of the participating City department to supervise and control the expenditure of project funds other than the one and three quarters percent (1.75%) allocation for public art.
(c) This ordinance shall not be applied retroactively to projects for which a public art allocation previously would not have been required, nor to those projects for which project funding has been approved by prior voter action but not yet appropriated or expended. Nor shall this ordinance be construed to allow for an increase in the total public art allocation for a project that is already underway or for which the public art allocation has already been established.
(d) Ownership. All art acquired pursuant to this chapter shall be acquired in the name of the City of Berkeley as part of the Public Art Collection and title shall vest in the City of Berkeley.
32 Ordinance No. 7,812-N.S. Page 5 of 5
6.13.080 Superseding Effect.
The ordinance codified in this chapter shall supersede and supplant Resolution No. 60,048-N.S. adopted by City Council on June 1, 1999.

BPD currently lacks a process to regularly assess the efficacy of minimum staffing levels, and has no suitable system in place in order to adhere to overtime controls.
A new E-Staffing system will provide the following benefits:
Improve efficiency of the scheduling process
Ensure equitable distribution of work shifts
Rapidly address falling below minimum staffing levels Fill open shifts under short notice by sending out notifications Tools to manage overtime and mitigate risks of officer fatigue and burnout Supervisors will be able to enter personnel information and day-off assignments for each shift to establish the required staffing levels. Payroll information will then be imported into the City’s payroll system (Tyler ExecuTime) at regular intervals.
43 Contract: Care Systems, Inc. for an Electronic Scheduling Solution CONSENT CALENDAR May 24, 2022
This automated process greatly increases accuracy, efficiency and improves they payroll data entry process.
Employees will be able to view their schedule for approved absences, overtime, and trades. Employees will be able to request time off and route that request to their supervisor for review/approval. The results of actions taken (approval or not) will update the schedule, if applicable, and notify the employee.
When overtime is available, qualified employees will be notified (via email, text message, or phone) and able to bid for it. Shift trading, shift bidding, and vacation bidding will be supported and conform to our existing rules and policies. A complete audit trail of all scheduling activities, related notes and comments will be maintained.
BACKGROUND
The goal is to replace the current paper system for police scheduling with a new electronic scheduling system. All aspects of scheduling will be handled including creating regular shifts, posting available overtime shifts, processing overtime requests, shift trading, shift bidding, vacation bidding, and court scheduling. Currently the police department utilizes printed hardcopies of various Microsoft Word and Excel documents.
The current process is laborious, subject to errors, and is an inefficient use of resources.
On March 22, 2022, the Berkeley City Auditor released a report entitled “Berkeley Police: Improvements Needed to Manage Overtime and Security Work for Outside Entities.” The report outlined several areas in which BPD would benefit from improvement, including the following:
Managing costs associated with compensatory time and the impact of vacancies on overtime
Collecting and monitoring data on how often compensatory time leads to additional backfill overtime and develop a plan to monitor it Filling vacancies deemed necessary and/or reallocate staff pending the reimagining process and a determination of appropriate staffing levels Increasing transparency on work for outside entities. BPD should regularly evaluate their billing and explore ways to track revenues and expenses Reconciling invoices with the amounts received for work with outside entities at regular intervals, including procedures to check invoices for errors prior to billing Recommendation 3.2 of the report specifically recommends for BPD to implement an E- Staffing system:
3.2 Work to implement a staffing software solution that integrates overtime management and scheduling software. Develop management reports that provide timely, accurate, and complete information on overtime usage. Develop a process for filling overtime shifts on a voluntary and mandatory basis, including supervisor approval.
44 Contract: Care Systems, Inc. for an Electronic Scheduling Solution CONSENT CALENDAR May 24, 2022
Build in warnings for when an individual is approaching overtime limits and an approval process for allowing individuals to exceed limits when deemed necessary according to the policy.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
An Electronic Scheduling Solution allows the opportunity for the Police Department to reduce or eliminate the need for printer paper and replacement printer cartridges as this system utilizes electronic records.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
The Police Department sought qualified candidates through a competitive RFP selection process. We received ten proposals. The Police Department formed a selection committee representing different member ranks, department divisions and bargaining units. The committee ranked and evaluated all submitted proposals. They observed demonstrations from the top proposals and collected feedback from police department employees.
The selection committee gave Care Systems Inc. the highest recommendation based on the criteria established within the RFP. The vendor’s proposed solutions in response to the RFP not only met, but exceeded the Police Department’s requirements for an Electronic Scheduling Solution.
The Care Systems Inc. solution will meet and address the following recommendations from the Berkeley City Auditor’s report: Recommendations 1.1, 1.2, 3.2, 4.4 and 4.5. At the time of the report, the vendor’s proposed implementation timeline for the E-Staffing system was 18 months. Upon start of this project, Care Systems Inc. is proposing a more optimal implementation timeline of six to eight months.
The analytic reports provided by the solution will facilitate reporting of outside billing costs, tracking overtime and compensatory time, and will provide other management reports in order to promote and facilitate transparency. The creation of analytical reports will lessen the possibility of human error and provide information to staff in timely manner.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
No alternative actions were considered as the current workflow is a manual process and an electronic solution would be most efficient alternative.

ACTION CALENDAR
May 24, 2022
Subject: Proposal to allocate revenues generated by the Transient Occupancy Tax in the Waterfront Area to the Marina Fund to avoid insolvency, rebuild its fund balance and to stabilize its finances
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt a Resolution adopting a policy that all Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT hotel tax) generated at the Berkeley Waterfront be allocated to the City’s Marina Enterprise Fund. All other property, sales, utility users, and parking taxes, as well as business license and franchise fees, would continue to be allocated to the City’s General Fund.
POLICY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
On April 28, 2022, the Budget & Finance Policy Committee took the following action:
M/S/C (Harrison/Arreguin) to forward the item to Council with a qualified positive recommendation to consider as part of the budget process including the following amendments 1. that Public Works consider including trash pick-up at the Marina in the 218 process; 2. that the Marina Fund be excluded from road work repairs within the larger marina territory; and 3. that $1.5M be allocated from the General Fund to the Marina Fund for operating expenses in 2024.
Vote: Ayes – Harrison, Arreguin; Noes – None; Abstain – None; Absent – Droste.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Allocating funding from the Transient Occupancy Tax annually, generated at the Waterfront, will create a healthy Marina Fund that is able to operate, maintain, and keep safe the existing assets. The sizeable past and ongoing contributions from Waterfront- generated revenues to the City’s General Fund should be taken into consideration when assessing the financial implications.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The area now comprising the Berkeley Waterfront was granted to the City by the State of California in 1913, as a grant of state tidelands. In 1962, the City obtained a state

By 1966, 15 boat dock systems were constructed.
By 1970, two restaurants, a hotel, and an office building were developed. By 1980, the two sailing clubs and sailing docks, the boat yard, and a third restaurant were developed.
By 1991, the City landfill at the marina was capped and graded to become North Waterfront Park. In 1996, it was renamed Cesar Chavez Park.
The total area under City management includes the entrance to the Marina (University Avenue and the Bay Trail, from Frontage Road to Marina Blvd) and all the infrastructure and Marina waters west of Marina Blvd. In all, there are:
100 acres of open space and parks,
over 1,000 berths in the Berkeley Marina,
a large hotel, 4 restaurants,
the Adventure Playground,
Shorebird Nature Center,
the Berkeley Marine Center boat yard,
a two-story office building,
a 4-lane public launch ramp,
9 restroom buildings, and
11 parking lots.
The Waterfront requires the daily administration of what essentially is a “small city”.
Marina Fund
A requirement of the State Tidelands Grant is that revenue generated at the Waterfront be spent at the Waterfront. The Marina Enterprise Fund was set up to comply with this requirement for managing revenue and expenditures at the Berkeley Waterfront. Marina Revenues come primarily from boat slip rental fees and business leases, and a number of smaller sources. Community users of the open space and amenities at the Berkeley Waterfront such as independent fishermen, windsurfers, small boat users, tourists, walkers, runners, dogwalkers, and other park users do not provide direct income to the Marina Fund.
By FY2019, one-third of the total revenue generated annually at the Waterfront was being transferred to the General fund as follows:
$10.9 Million in Total Waterfront Revenue
$6.9 Million allocated to the Marina Fund
$4 Million allocated to the General Fund
In addition, $0.59 Million was being transferred annually from the Marina Fund to the City’s internal service funds.

While revenues have plummeted during the pandemic, community use of recreation and open space at the Waterfront has soared.
Marina Fund Financial Sustainability
From FY18-20, the Marina Fund contributed ~$11 Million to the General Fund. Now, the Marina Fund needs help from the General Fund to survive this pandemic-induced fiscal crisis.
To immediately avoid the eminent insolvency of the Marina Fund, the TOT tax generated in the Waterfront should be allocated to the Marina Fund.
Waterfront Capital Fund
The estimated $87.5 M - $131 M in future infrastructure costs are too large to be solved by stabilizing the Marina operations budget. To fund such large capital costs, a Reserve Fund needs to be created with new revenues developed as a result of the BMASP process that is underway.
Commission
At a regular meeting on March 10, 2021, the Parks and Waterfront Commission M/S/C to send this action to Council for consideration: (McGrath/Kamen/U). Ayes: Cox; Diehm; Kamen; Kawczynska; Landoni; McGrath; Skjerping; Srioudom; Wozniak; Noes: None;
Absent: None; Leave of Absence: None.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
No environmental impacts or opportunities were identified as a result of this recommendation.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
None
CITY MANAGER
The City Manager recommends referring the contents of this commission report to the budget process because this action will potentially impact revenue available to the General Fund. The Marina Fund revenue losses associated with Covid-19 are projected to exceed $3.6M from FY20-23 in comparison to FY 19 and a potential funding source to offset actual and projected revenue losses is the American Rescue Plan. Additionally, City Council may want to explore other long-term revenue sources to stabilize the Marina Fund, as discussed during February 16, 2021 work session presentation on the Berkeley Marina Area Specific Plan.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Councilmember Rashi Kesarwani (Author) and Councilmembers Lori Droste, Terry Taplin and Susan Wengraf (Co-Sponsors) SUBJECT: Budget Referral: Street Maintenance Funding to Prevent Further Deterioration of Pavement Condition to Save Tax Dollars and Our Streets
RECOMMENDATION
Refer to the FY 2022-23 budget process to establish a three-year plan (FY 2022-23 through FY 2024-25) to fully fund an adequate street paving budget that prevents further deterioration of the City’s pavement condition. At the end of the three-year period, the fiscal plan should allocate a minimum total of $8 million in additional ongoing annual General Fund—bringing the total street paving annual budget to at least $15.1 million—the minimum amount needed to maintain pavement condition, as identified by our Public Works Department.1
We recommend that the City slightly exceed the $8 million General Fund need by contributing $3 million in ongoing funds in FY 2022-23, an additional $3 million of ongoing funds in FY 2023-24, and a final addition of $3 million in ongoing funds in FY 2024-25. This total of $9 million, in addition to the existing allocation of $7.3 million for annual street maintenance2, will provide the City with about $1.2 million more than the minimum total of $15.1 million to account for inflation.
A three-year plan is suggested to give the City time to gradually enhance street paving resources, and annual inflation adjustments are recommended in out-years in order to ensure that maintenance funds remain adequate over time as construction 1 Garland, Liam, Turning Vision 2050 into Reality: Public Works Capital Improvement Plan for Fiscal Year 2022 (p. 6), March 16, 2021 Worksession Item 3b,

costs rise. A dollar of maintenance early in a street’s life-cycle saves $8 later in the street’s life-cycle due to avoided rehabilitation and/or reconstruction costs associated with failing streets, making this budget request an urgent matter of fiscal oversight.3
POLICY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
On April 19, 2022, the Budget & Finance Policy Committee moved (M/S/C Arreguin/Harrison) to send the item to Council with a positive recommendation to: 1.
Formally refer the item to FY 23-24 Biennial Budget Process; 2. State the Committee’s recommendation that the City Council prioritize available General Fund revenues to supplement the street paving budget to prevent further deterioration; 3.
To recommend that Council consider this proposed approach to develop an expenditure plan for street paving; 4. Set a goal of allocating an additional $3-8 Million in ongoing General Fund revenues. Vote: All Ayes.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
Berkeley’s Streets Are Rated Among the Worst in the Bay Area, Costing Motorists an Extra $1,049 Annually for Vehicle Repair and Increasing Risk of Injury for Bicyclists and Pedestrians. Compared to other jurisdictions in the Bay Area, Berkeley has the 15th worst Pavement Condition Index (PCI) rating out of 101 cities in the nine-county jurisdiction covered by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, the federally designated transportation planning organization for the Bay Area.4 The general condition of streets is measured by PCI, a numerical rating from 0 to 100, as shown in Exhibit 1. Berkeley’s streets were rated in 2021 at an average of 56 out of 100, meaning they are “at risk”—defined as deteriorated pavement that requires immediate attention, including rehabilitative work. At this rating, ride quality is significantly inferior compared to better pavement ratings, impacting all roadway users including pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists. At-risk pavement conditions make it more likely for bicyclists and pedestrians to suffer injuries. For drivers, at-risk conditions cost $1,049 annually, according to TRIP, a national transportation research group, due to vehicle repair costs, accelerated vehicle deterioration and depreciation, increased maintenance costs, and additional fuel consumption.5 This pavement condition disproportionately harms lower-income residents for whom extra vehicle costs consume a greater share of income. In Attachment 1, we include a list of all City streets and their respective PCI rating in 2020, provided by the Public Works Department.

Significantly, the total annual street paving budget has never approached the full $15.1 million needed to maintain the existing PCI of 56 and prevent further deterioration.7 At the funding level proposed for FY 2022-23 through FY 2026-27 of $7.3 million annually8, the City’s pavement condition will continue to fall:
● The City’s PCI will deteriorate to 51 by the year 2025, as shown in Exhibit 3 for the Current Budget Scenario9; and
● The City’s PCI will deteriorate to 30 by the year 2050. 10 6 Berkeley City Auditor, Rocky Road: Berkeley Streets at Risk and Significantly Underfunded, p. 6, Nov. 19, 2020.

City Council Approved Paving Plan for Next Three Fiscal Years (FY 2022-23 through FY 2024-25) Prioritizes Residential and Collector Streets at Expense of Arterials Due to Insufficient Maintenance Funds. Because of the inadequate street paving budget, the City makes difficult choices about which streets to pave and which to allow to deteriorate further. Over the next three fiscal years, residential streets (roads that run through neighborhoods and carry few buses or trucks11, other than refuse vehicles) and collector streets (which serve to “collect” traffic from residential streets and deposit them onto arterials) will receive 97 percent of paving resources, as shown in Exhibit 4. Arterial streets, which carry the most car, truck, and bus traffic, and typically provide an outlet on to state highways and freeways, will receive 3 percent of paving resources over the next three fiscal years. This action was taken because residential streets have historically been underfunded to the point that they now have a lower average PCI (55) than arterial streets (PCI of 63) and collector streets (PCI of 61).12
11 Anecdotally, some residential streets are heavily impacted by trucks shortcutting arterial streets.
This is especially true of Addison West, and other streets along major commercial roads in Central and South Berkeley.

Deferring Street Maintenance Makes Street Paving and Repair Eight Times More Expensive Later. The City’s inability to adequately maintain a street early in its life-cycle leads to escalating costs that are eight times higher later in a street’s life- cycle, as shown in Exhibit 5.13 In the case of arterial streets that will not be maintained over the next three fiscal years, a predictable outcome is that they will deteriorate precipitously due to lack of investment and costs to repair them will rise exponentially, absent additional resources for street maintenance.

Inadequate Street Paving Budget Has Led to an Estimated $268 Million in Deferred Maintenance and Growing. Because the City’s street paving budget has historically been underfunded for the last 15 years, a significant backlog of deferred street maintenance has accumulated that is now estimated at about $268 million.14 This amount is as large as the City’s entire revised General Fund budget for FY 2021-22 of $269 million.15 Deferred street maintenance has grown exponentially over the last decade. In a 2011 audit Failing Streets: Time to Change Direction to Achieve Sustainability, the City Auditor found that Berkeley needed an estimated total of $54 million to address the backlog of street maintenance and improve the average PCI from 58 to 75.16 Over the past 11 years, that amount has grown five times to a $268 million unfunded liability in 2022 and will continue to grow precipitously in the future:
● In five years in 2027, deferred street maintenance is estimated to total $396 million.
● In 10 years in 2032, deferred street maintenance is estimated to total $503 million.
● By 2050, deferred street maintenance is estimated to total $1.1 billion, as shown in Exhibit 6.
14 Pavement Engineering Inc., City of Berkeley 2020/21 Pavement Management System Update, p. 10, Jan. 2021. We note that the estimate of $268 million in deferred street maintenance only accounts for paving, not other “Complete Streets” infrastructure. Public Works staff are currently revising this deferred maintenance estimate to reflect the recently adopted Street Maintenance and Rehabilitation Policy target of citywide average PCI in the good condition, 70-79. 15 City Manager, Amendment: FY 2022 Annual Appropriations Ordinance, City Council Meeting Dec. 14, 2021, Item 45, Revised Material (Supp 3),

Exhibit 6: With Current Street Paving Budget, Deferred Maintenance Grows to More than $1 Billion by 2050
Source: Pavement Engineering Inc., City of Berkeley 2020/21 Pavement Management System Update, p. 10, Jan. 2021
Regardless of Any Future Possible Infrastructure Revenue Measure, City Must Demonstrate Fiscal Commitment to Adequate Street Maintenance. The City is considering a revenue ballot measure for the November 2022 election to fund infrastructure liabilities. While the amount has yet to be determined, if successful, the measure would effectively increase residents’ taxes as a way to reduce the backlog of deferred street maintenance and increase the average PCI. However, without an adequate annual street maintenance budget of at least $15.1 million, even a large revenue measure would only have a temporary effect on the City’s average pavement condition. In Exhibit 7, a 30-year projection for various funding scenarios shows that the scenario of a $325 million general obligation bond with no increase to the City’s annual street maintenance budget would lead to a PCI of 58 by the year 2050—the green line; this would essentially return the City to its current street pavement condition.

Exhibit 7: A Large Revenue Measure Without Adequate Maintenance Funds Only Temporarily Stalls PCI Decline
Source: Pavement Engineering Inc., City of Berkeley 2020/21 Pavement Management System Update, p. 10, Jan. 2021
BACKGROUND
Lessons Learned from 2012 Measure M for Streets. Measure M raised $30 million in general obligation bond funds for street maintenance, falling short of the $54 million of identified deferred maintenance.17 A Complete Streets approach was also applied, which—at the time—funded sidewalk repair, green infrastructure, as well as bike and pedestrian improvements. This approach meant that about 75 to 85 percent of the $30 million went toward street paving, with the remaining funds paying for Complete Streets improvements. Because the funding was inadequate to fully clear the backlog of deferred street paving, and additional annual maintenance funding was not added to the budget, Measure M only succeeded in temporarily stalling the decline in the City’s pavement condition. Today, sidewalk improvements are budgeted separately from street paving, and the City has a clear understanding of the cost of funding Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan upgrades; however, the cost of green infrastructure improvements are harder to predict. The City should be aware of the additional costs associated with green infrastructure as well as the Bicycle Plan and Pedestrian Plan when planning and budgeting for deferred street maintenance. 17 City Auditor Report, Rocky Road: Berkeley Streets at Risk and Significantly Underfunded, p. 13, Nov. 19, 2020

FISCAL IMPACT
City Needs a Minimum Total of $15.1 Million Annually to Avoid Further Pavement Deterioration. Regardless of the outcome of a possible infrastructure revenue measure on the November 2022 ballot, it is recommended that the City begin to address the shortfall of street maintenance funds to avoid further deterioration of the pavement condition. At a minimum, we recommend that the City slightly exceed the $8 million additional need by contributing $3 million of ongoing funds in FY 2022-23, an additional $3 million of ongoing funds in FY 2023-24, and a final addition of $3 million in ongoing funds in FY 2024-25, as displayed in Exhibit 8 below. This total of $9 million, in addition to the existing allocation of $7.3 million for annual street maintenance18, will provide the City with about $1.2 million more than the minimum total of $15.1 million to account for inflation.19 Exhibit 8: Minimum Recommendation for Fiscal Plan to Adequately Fund Street Maintenance (Dollars in Millions)
Ongoing Amount
FY 2022-23 $3
FY 2023-24 $3

Subtotal $9
Existing Budget $7.3
Total $16.31
1Includes more than $15.1 million to account for inflation. $15.1 Million Annually Maintains Current Pavement Condition, But Deferred Maintenance Grows By 23 Percent. To maintain a PCI of 57, it is projected by Pavement Engineering Inc. that an average funding level of $15.1 million annually is needed, as shown in Exhibit 9 below. At this funding level, the backlog of deferred street maintenance grows from $250 million in 2021 to $307 million in 2025, an increase of 23 percent.

Exhibit 9: $15.1 Million Annually Maintains PCI of 57
Source: Pavement Engineering Inc., City of Berkeley 2020/21 Pavement Management System Update, p. 8, Jan. 2021
$24 Million Annually Gradually Increases Pavement Condition, With Deferred Maintenance Growing at a Slower Rate of 7 Percent. To increase the PCI by 5 points from 57 to 62, it is projected by Pavement Engineering Inc. that an average funding level of $24 million annually would be needed.20 At this funding level, the backlog of deferred street maintenance grows from $244 million in 2021 to $260 million in 2025, an increase of 7 percent.
Street Paving and Maintenance is a Core Service that Aligns with our Strategic Plan. Providing state-of-the-art, well-maintained infrastructure, amenities, and facilities is one of the priorities articulated in our Strategic Plan, adopted in January 2018. This plan sets forth the long-term goals that Berkeley City government will achieve on behalf of its residents and acts as a conceptual guide to help ensure these goals are met.21
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Good street conditions will improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists, users of micro- mobility devices, and public transit users. Using alternatives to driving cars will decrease our greenhouse gas emissions, which aligns with another of the City’s 20 Source: Pavement Engineering Inc., City of Berkeley 2020/21 Pavement Management System Update, p. 8, Jan. 2021

SUBJECT: Budget Referral: Capacity Building for Merchant Associations in the Gilman and Lorin Districts
RECOMMENDATION
Referral to the City Manager and the FY 2022-23 Budget Process to provide one- time capacity building totaling $20,000 ($10,000 each) for the Gilman and Lorin District merchant associations to support economic development in their respective commercial areas. Distribution of funds should be contingent upon the following criteria:
● Establishment of representative community advisory boards reflecting the diversity of businesses, agencies, nonprofits and resident stakeholders who could function as the leadership entity for fund management; ● Obtainment of merchant associations’ non-profit status; or partnership with an existing entity to enable fiscal sponsorship until nonprofit status is obtained; ● Requirement to use the funds within two years or risk having to return them.
CURRENT SITUATION AND ITS EFFECTS
The Gilman and Lorin Districts are Commercial Areas Lacking Formalized Entities to Promote Economic Development. The Gilman and Lorin Districts are unique commercial areas in Berkeley each with their own distinct personalities. The GIlman District, situated in west Berkeley, has long been the heart of the City’s manufacturing and industrial sectors, while more recently becoming home to wineries, breweries, artisanal food production facilities, nonprofits, and maker spaces. The Lorin District, located in south Berkeley, is home to the iconic South Berkeley Farmers Market and boasts a thriving arts scene as well as an antique cluster, a blossoming food scene, and several nonprofits. Despite their vibrancy, both districts are notable in that they also lack the benefit of a Business Improvement District (BID) to support the area in keeping it well maintained. BIDs are private
91 entities organized to promote the economic development of businesses within a defined geographical area. BIDs are funded by levying taxes on stakeholders within the district with the revenues being used to fund services local governments are unable to provide.
BIDS in Berkeley. In Berkeley, businesses and/or property owners assess themselves either through business license fees (Elmwood/Solano) or property assessment fees (North Shattuck/Downtown/Telegraph) to raise funds to help support the commercial area.1 This means that business license owners and/or property owners pay an additional fee to support the efforts of the BID. These funds have been used for a range of services and improvements such as:
● Banners
● Outdoor lighting
● Street furniture
● Public art
● Landscaping
● Wayfinding signs
Berkeley’s BIDs have also played a strong advocacy role for their respective areas and constituencies, such as advocating for BPD bicycle patrols and cleaning services in the various commercial areas of the city, and agreeing to administer Berkeley’s Damage Mitigation Fund to help offset expenses incurred as a result of property damage since the start of the pandemic.2 They also provide information and assistance to its members and are an important liaison between business communities and local government.
The Gilman and Lorin Districts Need Additional Support. Years of underinvestment in these areas and the lack of a strong organizing body have resulted in challenging conditions on the streets that have not been addressed. Both areas struggle with a high volume of unhoused individuals and many of the encampments have become sites of illegal dumping and excessive trash, attracting vermin and presenting health and safety concerns. The lack of support makes it hard for stakeholders to improve and maintain conditions that would help revitalize the area making it more welcoming to patrons and safer for employees. Even a moderate influx of funds could be used for services such as:
● Permitting for festivals and outdoor dining
● Marketing and media outreach
● Production and publicity of events
● Placemaking features
● Streetscape improvements and graffiti removal

2 See October 19, 2021 Downtown Berkeley Association Press Release: City of Berkeley Replenishes COVID-19 Business Damage Mitigation with $50,000.
92 Gilman and Lorin Districts: Nascent Merchant Groups. While both districts struggle to negotiate challenging conditions on the street, they are both well on their way to establishing robust merchants associations. Currently, both districts have advisory boards that have sought fiscal sponsorship through the Berkeley Chamber:
the Lorin District since November, 2015 and the Gilman District since April, 2022.
Both Districts boast eye-catching websites3 and a strong sense of community engagement.
BACKGROUND
Parking Benefit Districts can Provide Funds Though Could Take Years to Establish. On January 18, 2022 CIty Council approved on consent Councilmembers Kesarwani and Bartlett’s referral to the City Manager to establish a framework for a Parking Benefits District (PBD) in the Gilman and Lorin Districts. PBDs spend meter revenues for public services and amenities in the metered area. They comprise a defined geographical area in which revenue from on and off-street parking within the area is kept within the district to finance neighborhood improvements.4 Reinvesting meter revenue back into the district helps build support among residents and businesses as the economic benefits of metered parking are made tangible through neighborhood improvements along the lines of what BIDs offer. PBDs can provide a steady stream of funds that can help fill in the gaps where City services are insufficient. They also require a community advisory board made up of local stakeholders that convene regularly and make recommendations to the City Council for funding improvements. While this item was approved unanimously and could provide much needed funds, it will take years to establish as all current parking revenues must first be utilized for payments and obligations associated with the Center Street Garage parking revenue bond. The City will additionally need to hire a consultant to help establish the Parking Benefit Districts and write the enabling ordinance.
RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
Ultimately, establishing a BID would be the greatest benefit to these districts. BIDs require stakeholder buy-in and have the ability to transform struggling areas into vibrant neighborhoods. BIDs also take a considerable length of time to establish as a majority of property owners or businesses need to be engaged to secure their participation, enabling legislation needs to be written, and City Council needs to approve the new entities. This process takes years of hard work and would come only after considerable effort by key stakeholders. While a BID might be the end goal, the Gilman and Lorin Districts need immediate support, and these capacity building 3 See GIlman District and Lorin District websites
4 See Newport Beach’s Commercial Parking Benefit District flier
93 grants can help fill in the gaps. The money requested in this budget referral will allow the merchant groups to provide some immediate improvements to their respective areas building enthusiasm among stakeholders which could eventually allow for a smoother segue to establishing a more formalized structure in the future. The Gilman District Coordinating Committee is currently in process of planning a large street festival with road closures, food and beverage areas, tabling and demonstrations scheduled for September 25th of this year. A capacity building grant will help ensure success. It is hoped that funds can also be used for streetscape improvements, public art, enhanced exterior lighting and security cameras to improve public safety.
FISCAL IMPACT
$20,000 annually to be split equally between the two districts.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Capacity building grants can provide much needed funds that could assist with keeping sidewalks and streets clean, enhancing public safety, and landscaping and streetscaping improvements. Investment in public spaces encourages greater utilization and civic pride in an area which in turn can lead to collective efforts to better maintain both the built and natural environment.

Subject: Urge the AC Transit Board of Directors to Restore and Expand on Pre- Pandemic Transbay Bus Service and Bus Service to the Berkeley Hills
RECOMMENDATION
Send a letter to the AC Transit Board of Directors urging the restoration and expansion of transbay and Berkeley Hills bus service.
BACKGROUND
In March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically disrupted regular life in the Bay Area and the rest of the world. Suddenly, highways, buses, trains, and offices were found empty and millions of people were staying indoors to avoid contracting the coronavirus. This halt in social and economic life had immediate, wide-reaching ramifications. AC Transit was impacted immediately by a 71% decline in ridership and a monthly loss of $5 million in the first few months of the pandemic.1 In response to this, AC Transit began temporarily terminating some bus lines and considering the permanent cut of 15 to 30% of total services.2
In the more than two years that have followed, AC Transit has slowly recovered financially and begun the process or restoring its bus services to pre-pandemic levels.
Despite financial recoveries, more comprehensive service restoration hinges on the hiring, training, and retention of bus operators. AC Transit must do everything in its power to grow its number of bus drivers so that the East Bay’s public transportation system can finally move past the COVID-19 era and even begin to grow its service levels above that which existed on the eve of the pandemic.
Of particular importance for prioritized service expansion are lines 65 and 67, which serve the Berkeley Hills, and transbay bus services which offer a non-car option for those commuting to and visiting San Francisco. Both lines 65 and 67 currently operate exclusively on weekdays, leaving hills residents reliant their personal automobiles for 1 https://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/STAFF-REPORT.pdf 2 https://www.berkeleyside.com/2020/07/08/ac-transit-bus-service-cuts-berkeley-ca-coronavirus-transbay
95 weekend recreation, employment, and other local travel needs. As long as residents of the Berkeley Hills have high rates of car ownership, their neighborhoods should be targeted for improved public transportation accessibility. Similarly, AC Transit’s transbay service is limited to weekdays. AC Transit must strive to offer public transportation that is more than just an option for people commuting to their jobs during the week.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The City estimates that transportation-related emissions accounts for approximately 60% of our community’s total annual greenhouse gas emissions.3 The restoration of AC Transit’s 65, 67, and transbay bus lines will strengthen alternatives to car transportation and lower the emissions of our community’s dominant source of carbon pollution.

Re: Restoration of Berkeley Hills and Transbay Bus Service Dear President Ortiz, Vice-President Young, and Directors, The Bay Area’s post-covid transportation network must be one that offers widespread access at as many hours as possible so that residents can choose to travel by bus instead of car without sacrificing speed and accessibility. With this in mind, the Berkeley City Council urges that bus lines to the Berkeley Hills, as well as transbay service to San Francisco, be restored and expanded to include weekend service.
Reducing our residents’ reliance on their personal automobiles for professional and recreational travel is an essential task in the pursuit of our City’s climate and safety goals. It must follow, then, that the communities in Berkeley with the highest rates of car ownership be encouraged to take public transportation through the expansion of bus service into their neighborhoods. What this means for Berkeley is an increase in bus service to the Berkeley Hills at all times. Currently, AC Transit’s Line 65 and Line 67 are routed through the Berkeley Hills but only on weekdays. This configuration works well for residents who choose to take the bus to their jobs, but does nothing to encourage residents to also choose the bus on the weekends when they are traveling throughout the rest of the Bay Area for recreation, personal errands, and shopping. Another area of your network we would like to see expanded is your transbay lines which are even more prioritized for commuters. The availability of BART for transbay public transportation is beneficial to all, but BART’s limited reach beyond its three Berkeley stations can leave residents of West Berkeley and the Berkeley Hills wishing they had a public transportation option that could place them in San Francisco without making multiple transfers, and thus paying multiple fares, along the way to their destination.
Understanding that you have many conflicting priorities for restoring bus services, we ask that you take special consideration for a growth in service to the Berkeley Hills and on your transbay lines.
Furthermore, we encourage AC Transit to exhaust all financial and logistical options at your disposal as you attempt to grow your number of bus operators. As long as the population of trained and employed bus drivers remains an impediment to service restoration and growth, your methods for onboarding new operators must be creative and with the practical needs of potential drivers in mind.
Sincerely,
The Council of the City of Berkeley

Subject: Budget Referral and Updated Guidelines and Procedures for City Council Office Staff Expenditures
RECOMMENDATION
Refer to the Budget and Finance Committee to consider updates to the guidelines and procedures for City Council office budget expenditure accounts with regards to City Council staff salaries and fringe benefits expenditures and an accompanying Budget Referral of approximately $1,226,619.52 for the FY 22-23 June Budget process.
CURRENT SITUATION
As of March of 2022, four of eight Council Offices retain more than one Legislative Assistant, while the Mayor retains four Legislative Assistants in addition to a Chief of Staff. This reflects the trend over the last two decades of an increase in demand faced by Council Offices for constituent services and legislative policy output. Despite this increase, Council budget policy still assumes a staff level fixed at one Legislative Assistant per Council Office, though recent adjustments provide for budgeting the Mayor’s Office at actual staff costs.
The most recent adjustment to Council staff budgeting policy was made in response to the 2019 unionization of Legislative Assistants with the SEIU 1021 Community Services & Part-Time Recreation Leaders Association Chapter. The City officially ratified a contract with the new unit on June 15, 2021 that, among other things, provided an increased hourly wage for Legislative Assistants more closely commensurate with internal comparators as determined by a 2006 report from the City Manager, and placed Legislative Assistants on a salary schedule based on annual steps like other unionized positions in the City. After the adoption of the contract, Resolution No. 65.540-N.S. which provided for and regulated Council Office budgets was replaced by Resolution No. 70,054–N.S. This new Resolution adjusted Council budgets to allow for one full- time Legislative Assistant per office under the new agreement but did not account for the reality that half of Council Offices currently have had more than one Legislative Assistant. Because the new contract provides for annual step increases, Council Offices which now use their staff funds to retain two part time Legislative Assistants will be forced to reduce hours or terminate staff as they progress through annual steps.
BACKGROUND
99 Budget Referral and Updated Guidelines and Procedures for City Council Office Staff Expenditures 2180 Milvia Street, Berkeley, Floor 5, CA 94704 ● Tel: (510) 981-7130 ● E-Mail: [email protected] 2 The Berkeley City Council and the people of Berkeley take great pride in their extremely active, engaged, and forward thinking legislative branch. This is directly tied to the expectations of Berkeley’s residents, who have through their votes on ballot measures and their vocal advocacy demanded this level of activity. Additionally, this demand has risen over time. The population of Berkeley has increased by more than 20,000 since 2000, and interest in critical legislative issues including affordable housing, climate change, homelessness, transit, and public safety reimagining has increased substantially. Simultaneously, the City’s budget and the total number of employees have steadily increased. The Council provides legislative output, municipal oversight, and constituent services that are more comparable to neighboring cities and counties with substantially larger populations and budgets than Berkeley. The Council’s legislative assistants are key to providing these services. Legislative Assistants aid with the management of a Councilmember’s policy initiatives and district projects, write legislation, provide administrative office support, research and analyze policy and legislation, guide constituents in accessing critical public and nonprofit assistance, and may be called upon to represent their Councilmember before constituents, community groups, business interests, city staff and other elected officials.
Until recently, the Mayor, Councilmembers, and their aides have been significantly underpaid as compared to external and internal comparators.
In 2020, the adoption of Measure JJ by nearly two thirds of Berkeley voters1 affirmed that residents have high expectations of their local government and that the work required to deliver on those expectations should be compensated fairly and accurately.
Measure JJ changed the status of City Councilmembers from part-time to full-time to reflect the increased demands of the position from when it was first created, and increased the salary for Councilmember and the Mayor to one sufficient for working class residents to be able to afford to run for office.2 Alongside the trend of increased demand on Council Offices for legislative and constituent services, the inauguration of the Council Policy Committee system in 20183,4 and the transition to full time Council positions in 2020 have both driven an increase in the workload for legislative staff. Half of Council Offices now maintain more than one Legislative Assistant, reflecting that the volume of legislative work per Council Office often exceeds 40 hours of labor per week. There are currently six Council Policy Committees, four interagency committees, and a varying number of Mayoral task 1 https://www.cityofberkeley.info/uploadedFiles/Clerk/Elections/Summary%20Results%20Nov.%202020.pdf , pg. 3

These committees and other bodies provide vital legislative functions, but also add significant workload in both staffing and preparing for these meetings each week. In addition to two regular meetings a month, Policy Committees have additional special meetings scheduled on an ad hoc basis, especially during the bi-annual budget processes, and additional work conducted by the staff, especially when a Councilmember chairs a Committee. Critically, committee members are now responsible for writing more detailed and comprehensive legislative briefs and memos as well as shepherding amended legislative matters referred from Commissions and other bodies. Due to the enhanced demand for legislative work, full and part-time Legislative Assistants regularly work hours substantially beyond their scheduled appointment.
Over the past two decades, Council has attempted to address Legislative Assistant compensation, resulting in incremental improvement.
In 2006, in recognition of Legislative Assistant salary and classification disparities, the Council passed Resolution No. 63,259-N.S. directing the City Manager to conduct a salary equity study for the City Council Legislative Assistants and report the findings to the Council to include “a comparison with their peers in neighboring jurisdictions…[and] the salary range, qualifications and responsibilities for this job class.”6 The resulting 2006 study7 from the City Manager found that Legislative Assistants were significantly underpaid as compared to external and internal comparators—namely the Assistant Management Analyst in the City Manager’s office. The City Manager recommended an increase to Council office salary budgets, at the time $44,433 excluding benefits, to the minimum salary level of an Assistant Management Analyst (AMA), which would have increased the annual salary allocation by approximately $10,248 per Council office. In 2015, nearly a decade after the City Manager’s study was submitted to Council, the Mayor and Council voted to implement the 2006 Study recommendation and also acknowledged certain structural deficiencies including that Council Offices had to pull from their discretionary budgets “intended for office supplies and other office-related costs” in order to sufficiently fund staff costs.8 Council ultimately referred an additional $80,000 total to be split between the 8 Council offices.

In 2019, the Legislative Assistants across Council and Mayoral offices unionized as part of the SEIU 1021 Community Services & Part-Time Recreation Leaders Association.
The contract approved in June 20219 provided for a wage step range roughly commensurate with the AMA classification. As part of that range, Legislative Assistants now receive annual pay increases along the established range like other City employees. In order to effectuate the new labor agreement, Council modified the guidelines that regulate Council Office budgets, replacing Resolution No. 65.540-N.S. with Resolution No. 70,054–N.S.10
While the wage floor for Legislative Assistants has increased under the contract, historic budget deficiencies persist. Indeed, the current budget policy artificially constrains certain Council appointments to less than full-time appointments in cases where two Legislative Assistants are needed. As a result, offices with multiple Legislative Assistants have to ration one full-time salary between two people, a fraught situation that create awkward and precarious work schedules, inequitable compensation, burnout, high turnover, less diverse staff, less thorough legislative and constituent services, and the siphoning of office funds intended for supplies and other office-related costs. In addition, since the Legislative Assistant contract now provides for yearly step increases pursuant to favorable performance reviews like most other City positions, the Mayor and Council offices with multiple Legislative Assistants will quickly overshoot their budgets, which were designed for only one Legislative Assistant per office.
Adequately and equitably funding these positions is key to meeting the City’s Strategic Plan goal of attracting and retaining a talented and diverse City government workforce.
The two alternatives considered would address these shortcomings and respond to the change in legislative conditions by providing offices that wish to hire two full-time Legislative Assistants the opportunity to do so.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Maintaining the status quo would result in those Council Offices which retain more than one Legislative Assistant encountering structural budget deficits within one to three years. For example, an Office budgeted at the FY 2023 rate of $109,539 for staff salaries with two staff, one for 30 hours a week and one for 20, would have a $12,224.89 surplus in their salaries fund. The surplus would drop annually, to $7,370.43 in the second year and $2,239.85 in the third, and finally become negative in the fourth year at -$3,111.47. In this scenario, Offices will be forced to cut hours or lay off staff.
Though this can be remediated by reallocating non-personnel funds towards staff costs, 9https://www.cityofberkeley.info/Clerk/City_Council/2021/06_June/Documents/06- 01_AC_Time_Critical_Item_Leg_Assistants_MOU.aspx

Budget Referral and Updated Guidelines and Procedures for City Council Office Staff Expenditures 2180 Milvia Street, Berkeley, Floor 5, CA 94704 ● Tel: (510) 981-7130 ● E-Mail: [email protected] 5 doing so would delay but not prevent structural issues in most circumstances and results in other challenges and inequities associated with insufficient office funds.
The Budget and Finance Committee should instead consider pooling individual Council Staff Office Budgets together into a single Council Office Staff Budget, and fund it sufficient for each Office to hire two FTEs. This would raise funding to a level reflective of the demonstrated demand for Legislative Assistant work and stabilize those Offices with multiple Legislative Assistants, while simultaneously enabling budgeting practices and cost savings not practical with individual Council Staff Office Budgets. In this scenario each Council Office would be able to draw funding for up to 2 FTEs or their equivalent from the fund, with the precise dollar amount fluctuating from Office to Office based on the tenure of an Office’s staff and the breakdown of fulltime and part-time positions.
The primary advantage of a pooled approach is in allowing more accurate budgeting practices. Normally, variation in seniority and temporary vacancies within a department create a high probability of actual costs falling close to the middle of the step range per budgeted position. It is therefore more accurate to budget staff costs at that median range, which frees some money for other priorities. The small size of each Council Office Staff Budget prevents this, instead requiring that they be budgeted at the top of the range. A pooled budget for 16 FTEs would likely be large enough to budget at the middle, allowing for more accurate budgeting and possible relocation of resources.
A pooled fund would allow for budgeting practices more reflective of the City’s policies for other departments. The Budget and Finance Committee should consider what additional restrictions and policies should govern use of the fund. These should include a restriction on initial step placements for new hires at the first four steps of the Legislative Assistant salary range, and a requirement that the 80 hours available to each department be split between no more than three individual staff members. These restrictions are important for maintaining the stability of the fund while allowing for the hiring discretion necessary of political positions. While these limits would place some restrictions on Councilmembers, they would retain their ability to supplement their allocation from the fund with expenditures from their non-personnel budget.
This pooled approach is a significant change from current practices and will require input and guidance from Budget staff to create and implement. Additionally, it could allow one Council Office to draw significantly more or less from the pool than others, though this would reflect variation in funding but not actual staff resources. For example, an office with two new staff at the first step would pull more from the fund than an office with staff both at the final step, though each Office would still only be receiving the benefit of 2 FTEs.
A second alternative to address this issue would be to simply increase the amount allocated per council office from one FTE to two. While this would achieve short term stabilization of Council Staff Office Budgets and be simpler and easier to implement

Budget Referral and Updated Guidelines and Procedures for City Council Office Staff Expenditures 2180 Milvia Street, Berkeley, Floor 5, CA 94704 ● Tel: (510) 981-7130 ● E-Mail: [email protected] 6 than the pooled approach, it would not achieve long-term stabilization and cost control features.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The current baseline allocation for each Council Office Staff budget for FY 2023 is approximately $187,663. This includes $109,539 for salary and $78,124 for fringe benefits, the largest share of which is health insurance costs. This totals $1,501,305 across the eight Council Offices, not accounting for additional voluntary contributions from Councilmembers’ own salaries.
Pooling the Council Office Staff Budgets and budgeting at the median of the step range would cost approximately $2,727,925 in total. This would be $1,226,620 more than current spending but $274,686 less than the prior alternative.
Individually allocating each Council Office Staff Budget funding for two FTEs would increase costs to $375,326 per Office or $3,002,612 total, representing an increased allocation of $1,501,305.
It is important to consider that these numbers represent allocations and not actual expenditures. Adopting a prohibition on the rollover of surplus funds budgeted for salaries alongside the current prohibition for fringe benefits could reduce the actual cost of the individual proposal.
Finally, these cost estimates are based on projections for salary costs given scheduled raises per already agreed labor contracts for FY 2023, but assume FY 2022 allocations for fringe benefits. This may slightly underestimate the cost for both the status quo and the first alternative, and significantly overestimate cost for the pooled alternative. Some fringe benefits, like healthcare, are unrelated to the salary of the position, while some rise with compensation. While the pooled approach budgets salaries at the median of the range, it assumes the full cost of 16 positions regardless of step for fringe benefits.
Additional information from staff concerning the breakdown and calculation of fringe benefits cost would help to refine these figures.

Subject: Budget Referral: Fund Behavioral Health, Crisis Response, and Crisis-related Services Needs and Capacity Assessments
RECOMMENDATION
Refer to the FY 23 and FY 24 Annual Budget Process $100,000 to provide Health, Housing & Community Services Department and Berkeley Fire Department the means study or hire a consultant(s) to:
1. conduct a service needs assessment based on 911 and non-911 calls for service, dispatch, and response, to address the needs of Berkeley people with behavioral health issues and/or are unhoused1 using computer aided dispatch (CAD) or other data from the Berkeley dispatch, other dispatch agencies, BPD, BFD, and any other relevant data during the COVID pandemic from at least March 2020 through the present; and
2. conduct a capacity assessment of crisis response and crisis-related services available to Berkeley people in Berkeley and Alameda County, including but not limited to with respect to the Specialized Care Unit (SCU), respite, and sobering centers.
CURRENT SITUATION AND RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION
CAD Needs Assessment Study
Currently the City of Berkeley has a Public Safety Communications Center (Center) where call takers and dispatchers answer 911 and non-911 calls on a 24/7 basis for police, fire, medical, behavioral health, and other calls for service. This Center is managed under police leadership and located in the Berkeley Police Department. At this Center, the call takers input call information into the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system and transfer the information to fire/EMS and police dispatch staff.2 The dispatchers coordinate all police-related calls requiring a response from law 1 Behavioral health refers to both mental health and substance use for purposes of this recommendation.
It is noted that call takers may transfer crisis calls to alternative hotlines or dispatch responders depending on the nature of the call for service.

2 enforcement and enter all officer-initiated incidents into the CAD system such as pedestrian and traffic stops; they maintain radio contact with field staff as well.3 It is noteworthy that City of Berkeley’s call takers and dispatchers use BPD’s general communications center procedures, which are not specifically tailored for behavioral health (mental health, substance use) and/or homelessness calls for service and/or dispatching first responders into the community.
As part of the omnibus package for reimagining public safety in Berkeley, the Berkeley City Council directed the City’s elected Auditor to perform an analysis of the City’s 911 calls for service and responses. On July 2, 2021, the Auditor issued the final report, “Data Analysis of the City of Berkeley’s Police Response” to calls for service. In this Auditor Report, the Auditor analyzed the CAD data and assessed the number of events related to mental health and homelessness in Berkeley from 2015-2019.4 The overall data involved 350,000+ calls for service from 2015-2019.5 In the context of the Auditor Report, “events” refer to situations entered into the CAD data system that resulted in a response by at least one sworn officer.6 The CAD system is the computer aided dispatch (CAD) system used for call information, assigning call types, inputting narrative descriptions about calls for services as they progress, dispatching responders, and tracking emergency incident using computers.
Based upon the elected City Auditor’s study, the Auditor recommended identifying all calls for service that have an apparent mental health and homelessness component in a manner that protects the privacy rights of individuals involved.7 Specifically, there is a need to create clear mechanisms for identifying mental health, substance use, and homelessness call types and to use them consistently during 911 call taking and dispatching, including when they are not the primary reason for the call. There is also a need to consistently follow standardized language to describe mental health, substance use, and homelessness-related events in the narrative descriptions for every call. And, there is a need to use behavioral health procedures and protocols, including using consistent, reliable de-escalation techniques during call taking and dispatching the most suitable first responders to people in need. Overall, the ability to realize these goals rests on conducting a needs assessment about 911 and non-911 calls for service, dispatch, and responses for a diversity of people experiencing behavioral health (mental health, substance use) and homelessness crises in the community. While the Auditor did not address substance use, it is critical to include it. It is also key that the needs assessment reflect the demographic populations served where possible.
In addition, this type of needs assessment can inform the level of need for licensed behavioral health clinicians and medical workers including the appropriate education, training and licensing to screen, assess, de-escalate and stabilize people who are experiencing mental health, substance use, and homelessness crises over the phone 3 Id.

3 and in the community. This study may further inform coordination about appropriate levels of care that community members need in order to avoid hospital emergency rooms—which can be crowded, chaotic and harmful to people experiencing behavioral health and homelessness crisis. The study can also inform how to relieve law enforcement and fire/EMS from addressing behavioral health and homelessness needs whenever possible—particularly so they can focus on crime, violence, fire, and natural disasters.
Moreover, this 911 needs assessment can review calls for services, dispatch, and/or response in the community to address any structural police, fire, and/or EMS issues that disproportionately impact diverse and vulnerable people experiencing a behavioral health and/or homelessness crisis. The 911 needs assessment can also assess any reduction in risks of injury and death by police and how diverting calls for service away from police and towards dispatching alternative responders can alleviate trauma for diverse and vulnerable groups: Black, Latinx, Indigenous, AAPI, immigrant, LGBTQIA+, disabled, young, old, unhoused, formerly incarcerated and additional groups.
Overall, this needs assessment can inform operating an effective, empathetic alternative responder program that fundamentally improves the well-being for diverse and vulnerable people experiencing behavioral health crisis in the community. Cities such as Eugene (CAHOOTS), Portland, Seattle, Olympia, Sacramento, San Francisco, Oakland, Santa Cruz, Los Angeles, San Diego, Austin, Houston, Denver, Atlanta, Chicago, Ithaca, New York City and others have already done so with success. Further this needs assessment can improve well-being when call takers transfer people to alternative hotlines with mental health and/or substance use specialists. It is noted that the national 988 mental health hotline will be live beginning July 2022 for call takers to transfer calls to this service. Ultimately, these approaches to 911 call processing and dispatching are key to providing a holistic, equitable, and community-centered public safety approaches for our most diverse and vulnerable communities and for reimagining public safety in Berkeley with reliability and fidelity.
Capacity and Needs Assessment of Crisis Services Available to Berkeley People in Alameda County
Earlier in January 2020, the Division of Mental Health Division released a request for proposal to evaluate the current mental health crisis system in Berkeley and following a robust selection process, the City of Berkeley selected Research Development Associates (RDA). The assessment focused solely on crisis response through the co- responding police and mobile crisis team in the City of Berkeley and not other crisis related services available to Berkeley people in Alameda County. While the City of Berkeley is a unique jurisdiction for certain public mental health services such as this mobile crisis response team, the RDA evaluation did not assess the capacity and quality of county crisis services available to Berkeley people. This type of assessment is critical for assessing the availability of and access to crisis stabilization, sobering and withdrawal centers, crisis peer services and peer respite services, and additional crisis related services in Alameda County. Overall, this capacity assessment is further critical

4 to taking a diversion approach to transferring calls for service to behavioral health crisis lines and to dispatching alternative responders into the community instead of police.
HHCS staff indicate that the SCU-related portion of this study should occur after the SCU has been operating for at least six months to a year. However, it is expected that from the outset that the SCU will need to incorporate internal analytical tools to capture data and metrics from initial call or referral to ultimate disposition, aiding in in the longer- term needs and capacity study contemplated in this item.
BACKGROUND
On July 14, 2020, the Berkeley City Council adopted an omnibus package to reimagine public safety and policing in the City of Berkeley. The omnibus package consisted of numerous elements including: 1) having the City Auditor perform an analysis of the City’s emergency 911 calls for service and police responses; 2) analyzing and developing a pilot program to re-assign non-criminal police service calls to an alternative non-police responder, the Specialized Care Unit; and 3) creating plans and protocols for calls for service to be routed and assigned to alternative preferred responding entities and consider replacing dispatch in the Fire Department or elsewhere outside the Police Department (see Reimagining Public Safety Task Force website).
The City Auditor reported that mental health and homelessness events identified in the CAD data do not represent the total number of events that may have had a mental health or homelessness component as a result of data limitations. First, the report reflected that call types in the CAD system reveal the primary reason for a call which may not capture events where the individuals involved are experiencing a mental health issue or homelessness.8 The CAD system has some call types to identify when the primary reason for the call is a mental health issue, such as a “suicide attempt” or “5150” for someone experiencing a mental health crisis.9 However, if the primary reason for the call is another issue, dispatchers are trained to assign those to call types that reflect the primary reason, such as family disturbance or pedestrian stop, which do not capture an accompanying mental health issue.10 According to the Berkeley Police Department, if the event involves a potential crime, dispatchers will always log it using a corresponding crime code and not a mental health call type.11 Lodging in public is further the only call type for homelessness.12
Moreover, the City Auditor’s analysis identified 42,427 unduplicated events with a mental health component, or 12 percent of all events from.13 The City Auditor’s analysis further identified 21,683 events involving homelessness, which represent 6.2 percent of all events during the same time period.14 The City Auditor stated that mental health and 8 Auditor Report, 2022, 53.

5 homeless call types are “significantly undercounted.”15 The City Auditor’s study did not analyze call types associated with substance use, which is recommended for inclusion in a future needs assessment study. Overall, there appears to be a sizable number of behavioral health and homelessness calls for service that need attention.
It is also noted that while the Berkeley Police Department formally began using “H” for homeless and “MH” for mental health disposition codes when closing out any call involving a homeless or person with mental health issues on July 1, 2021, officers have discretion about using these codes.16 Per this Reference Guide, officers were instructed that they were not required to ask people about housing status unless necessary for identification purposes or mental health issues unless related to the call.17 Moreover, according to this Reference Guide if the basis for the disposition code is criminal— despite involving a person who experiencing homelessness and/or mental health issues, then the officer may further not record the disposition code with an “H” or “MH.”
FISCAL IMPACTS OF RECOMMENDATION
Impact on General Fund of $100,000. However, the benefit of analyses could generate budgetary efficiencies and better outcomes for Berkeley residents.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
No discernable impact.

Subject: Resolution in Support of SB 379: the Solar Access Act
RECOMMENDATION
Send a letter of support for SB 379 (Wiener) - Residential solar energy systems:
permitting, to Senators Wiener and Skinner, Assemblymember Wicks, and Governor Newsom. To increase the number of homes installing safe solar energy systems, Senate Bill 379, the Solar Access Act, would mandate jurisdictions above a certain population size to provide an online instant solar permitting process, like SolarAPP+, for residential solar and solar-plus-storage systems.
BACKGROUND
California needs to accelerate its transition to clean energy in order to increase local resilience and meet its climate emissions targets. While rooftop solar systems have been a major driving force behind California’s ongoing transition, the potential growth of these systems has been diminished by administrative burdens. Across the state, rooftop solar and storage permitting processes are often inefficient and time-consuming, and can add thousands of dollars to the cost of installing solar. As a result, fewer Californians add solar to their roofs than the number that otherwise would. Meanwhile, the workload for building department officials continues to increase, and government staff are increasingly unable to manage the permitting application process in a timely fashion. Relief is needed across the board, and the technology to accomplish that is now widely available, and should be implemented as quickly as possible.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), under the auspices of the U.S.
Department of Energy, has created a free-to-use program to support local governments with residential solar and solar-plus-storage system permitting1. SolarAPP+ provides a web-based portal that streamlines and automates permit reviews, and can be easily implemented into existing local government permitting software. 1 https://solarapp.nrel.gov/

Resolution in Support of SB 379: the Solar Access Act CONSENT CALENDAR May 24, 2022
The Solar Access Act requires counties with more than 150,000 residents, and all cities within those counties, to implement instant online permitting for solar and solar-plus- storage systems, via programs like SolarAPP+. Under the provisions of SB 379, requirement will go into effect starting September 30, 2024 for cities under 50,000 residents, and September 30, 2023 for cities over 50,000 residents. The California Energy Commission (CEC) is preparing a program to deploy $20 million in grants to help cities and counties adopt online automated permitting systems such as SolarAPP+.
NREL first introduced SolarAPP+ in late 2020 and has slowly expanded the program’s capabilities. Many local jurisdictions, including Pleasant Hill, Benicia, Stockton, Sonoma County, San Jose, and Los Angeles have already begun implementation of automated permitting with great success2. Pleasant Hill has reduced their average permit review time to zero days (same-day approval) since adopting SolarAPP+ for instantaneous automated permitting.
SB 379 is supported by numerous environmental and other community organizations, including SPUR, Environment California, the Sierra Club, the Climate Center, and Grid Alternatives.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Limited staff time associated with sending a letter to designated recipients.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
No direct identifiable environmental sustainability savings are associated with this item.
However, the passage of SB 379 is likely to lead to a more rapid deployment of rooftop- scale solar and storage in the City of Berkeley, which is a key strategy in the realization of Berkeley’s Climate Action and resiliency goals.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 379, as amended, Wiener. Residential solar energy systems: permitting.
Existing law requires a city or county to approve administratively applications to install solar energy systems through the issuance of a building permit or similar nondiscretionary permit. Existing law requires every city, county, or city and county to develop a streamlined permitting process for the installation of small residential rooftop solar energy systems, as that term is defined. Existing law prescribes and limits permit fees that a city or county may charge for a residential and commercial solar energy system. Existing law creates the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission (Energy Commission) in the Natural Resources Agency and prescribes its duties, which include administering programs for the installation of solar energy systems.
This bill would require every city, county, or city and county to implement an online, automated permitting platform that verifies code compliance and instantaneously issues permits in real time for a solar energy system system, as defined, that is no larger than 38.4 kilowatts alternating current nameplate rating and an energy storage system
system, as defined, paired with a solar energy system that is no larger than 38.4 kilowatts alternating current nameplate rating. The bill would require a city, county, or city and county to amend a certain ordinance to authorize a residential solar energy system and an energy storage system to use the online, automated permitting platform.

The bill would require a city with a population of 50,000 or fewer that is not otherwise exempt to satisfy these requirements by September 30, 2024, while cities and counties with populations greater than 50,000 that are not otherwise exempt would be required to satisfy the requirements by September 30, 2023. The bill would require a city, county, or city and county, or a fire department, district, or authority, to report to the Energy Commission when it is in compliance with specified requirements, in addition to other information. The bill would require cities and counties to self-certify their compliance with the bill’s provisions when applying for specified funds from the Energy Commission.
Commission, as specified.
This bill would, upon provision of sufficient funding, authorize the Energy Commission to provide technical assistance and grant funding to cities and counties in order to support the above-described requirements. The bill would require the Energy Commission to set guidelines for cities and counties to report to the commission on the number of permits issued for solar energy systems and an energy storage system paired with a solar energy system and the relevant characteristics of those systems. The bill would make related findings and declarations.
By increasing the duties of local officials, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

RE: SB 379 (Wiener) Support for SB 379: the Solar Access Act Dear Governor Newsom,
We write to express our strong support for Senate Bill 379, which will require adoption of automated, instant and online solar and storage permitting systems such as SolarAPP+ across California. California could meet its energy needs by capturing just a sliver of the virtually limitless and pollution-free energy that strikes the state every day in the form of sunlight.
Currently, most permitting processes are onerous and costly. We can do more to reduce barriers to residential rooftop solar and storage adoption for more communities.
By making it easier for more Californians to go solar and add energy storage, we can reduce carbon emissions, increase resilience to wildfires and public safety power shutoffs, and increase job opportunities in our communities.
The Solar Access Act, SB 379, would require cities and counties to adopt an online and instant permitting system, such as SolarAPP+ so that customers can get a permit for simple residential solar and solar-plus-storage systems without delay. SolarAPP+ is an automated permitting software developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and funded by the US Department of Energy and is a great solution to the problem of expensive and time intensive solar and energy storage permitting processes for single family homes and duplexes. This tool is free for jurisdictions to use and can be integrated with existing software.
With $20 million of funding secured in the Governor’s 2021 budget, jurisdictions can apply for grants to support the staff time needed to implement SolarAPP+ or another automated permitting system. This bill will support the adoption of tools like SolarAPP+, drive down the cost of solar and solar-plus-storage systems and make it more accessible to Californians.
The rapid growth of solar resulting from SB 379 would benefit our communities. Solar installation provides local, accessible and good-paying jobs in communities across California. Solar energy also generates more carbon-free energy which lowers residents’ energy bills, readies the grid for electric vehicles, and keeps the lights on and medical devices running during blackouts and public safety power shutoffs, especially when the solar system includes a battery.
For these reasons, the Berkeley City Council strongly supports SB 379.
Sincerely,
The Berkeley City Council

Subject: Referral to the Budget and Finance Policy Committee and Budget Referral to Consider General Fund Strategies and Related Fiscal Policies for Funding Capital Improvements, in Particular Street, Sidewalk, Micromobility and Transit Infrastructure
RECOMMENDATION
1. Refer to the Council Budget and Finance Policy Committee to explore specific options for improving how and to what extent the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is funded, to include but not limited to the following potential strategies:
a. investigate historic assumptions and policies regarding secured-property and transfer tax revenues;
b. consider a one-time allocation of a certain percentage of salary savings accruing from historic vacancies that are not likely to be filled in the short-term; c. consider prospective Public Works plan to charge utilities for pavement impact.
2. Refer to the June 2022 Budget process $8 million per year to be transferred to the CIP based on Committee consideration and any conclusions.
POLICY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
On April 19, 2022, the Budget & Finance Policy Committee sent the item to Council (M/S/C Harrison/Arreguin) with a qualified positive recommendation removing item 1 (c) consider the sale of underutilizes city-owned property.
Vote: Ayes – Harrison, Arreguin; Noes – None; Abstain – Droste; Absent –None.
CURRENT SITUATION, EFFECTS, AND RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION The City is facing a historic crisis of underinvestment in its infrastructure. The Mayor formed the Vision 2050 Task Force and spearheaded placing the $100 million T1 Infrastructure Bond (leveraging millions more in other funding) to begin to address these long-standing capital needs. To date, $40M in T1 bonds were spent, with an additional $23M from grants and special funds. Nonetheless, the City’s infrastructure needs remain vast with perhaps the most visible area of underinvestment being in the City’s streets and sidewalks.

A Metropolitan Transportation Commission report warns that Berkeley’s overall paving condition is “At Risk,” meaning on the cusp of falling into “Failing” category. The current five-year paving plan is the result of historic deferred maintenance and underfunding.
Residential streets across the entire city are largely categorized as failing and bicycle, pedestrian, and Vision Zero projects are severely underfunded. Meanwhile, neighboring cities in the Bay Area, such as Richmond, El Cerrito, San Francisco have “Excellent/Very Good” to “Fair/Good” streets conditions.
The Public Works Department has advised that ongoing funding under the rolling 5- Year Street Plan will not be enough to stabilize Berkeley’s streets. In fact, if street investment is not increased, Public Works warns that the City could face $1 billion in future repair costs as the cost of deferred paving maintenance increases exponentially each year. In March of 2022, the Department reported that the City needs an additional $8 million in funding per year to maintain the current street condition and to maintain any future investments, including the revenue measure. Addressing the ongoing maintenance gap, regardless of new bonding for on-time fixes, is key to addressing the crisis.
At the Council’s direction, the Facilities, Infrastructure, Transportation, Environment & Sustainability (FITES) Policy Committee has spent two years investigating, the overall paving situation, paving policies, and multi-faceted paving funding/bonding solutions.
From this work, a number of potential solutions have arisen including allocating the TNC tax for priority bike, pedestrian, and transit street upgrades and exploring charging fees to garbage collection agencies and private companies for road damage. Public Works recently conducted a five-year rate study for zero waste rates that would raise $1 million in the first year and $2 million thereafter to address paving impacts of the City’s Zero Waste fleet. The outcome of this funding stream is dependent on a Proposition 218 process scheduled for 2023.
In addition, the FITES committee explored the idea of bonding to stabilize citywide PCI.
The Council is also currently considering placing an infrastructure bond and/or parcel tax on the November, 2022 ballot. However, long-term bonds are not the best way to pay for road maintenance as opposed to capital reconstruction and every day we wait, more roads fall into an unusable state. From discussion with City staff and the Public Works Commission, it is clear that in addition to other funding strategies, the maintenance problem cannot be solved without additional investment from the City’s General Fund.
It is therefore in the public interest to provide instructions to the Budget and Finance Policy Committee to explore specific avenues for identifying appropriate General Fund monies.
BACKGROUND
In preparing its biannual budgets, there appears to be some underestimation of City secured-property and transfer tax revenues. While there is merit to conservative

estimates, current needs – especially one-time capital needs – should be considered for prioritization if funding is in fact available.
Future year estimates should include data of historical trends, for example for the past three years. In fact, the City has a vast data set of historic revenue numbers going back much further than that which should be used to provide it with a rough sense of future performance.
For example, the secured-property tax is one of the City’s more consistent revenue streams; it has remained relatively steady even during recessions. The County Assessor’s estimates have been closer to actual performance than those from the City, and they are available in June when the budget is finalized.
Council needs accurate revenue estimates when it is finalizing the biennial budget in June. Learning after the fact, approximately 17 months later, that secured property tax revenues were underestimated is likely not conducive to good budgeting practices.1 1 The 17 months, referred to is based on the following timeline:

Historically, Council policy has called for using the first $12.5 million in real property transfer taxes for general purposes, with the balance going to capital needs. In FY 2021, in order to account for unanticipated needs due to COVID, the Council dedicated the first $16.5 million in transfer taxes to general purposes. In other years, it is not clear if the entire amount over the $12.5 million was devoted to capital needs. The transfer tax, while more volatile than regular property taxes, has been on a significant upward trend, and the City enjoys equally robust historic data.

TT Variance $ 6,411,368.00 $ 7,452,981 $ 9,595,507 $ 4,969,955 For the past decade, General Fund contributions to the CIP have been flat at $1.9 million despite inflation and steadily deteriorating road condition. An additional $5 million is typically allocated from special funds for paving.2 Public Works staff report that at least $8 million more annually is needed to maintain current street conditions per year in addition to the $6.9 spent in FY22—regardless of whether voters pass a $300 million bond. Fortunately, an additional $8 million in Measure T1 street paving funds will be available in FY 23, but there is not enough to cover the full amount for FY 24. More funds need to be devoted to infrastructure at the adoption of the June budget rather than waiting for reconciliation in November. This will allow capital planning to be improved at the onset each budget cycle. Therefore, Council and staff would be less likely to defer further contributions to the CIP given operational priorities identified by the City Manager and Council priorities as has been the case in recent years when the policy of allocating excess Transfer Tax revenues to the CIP was suspended. For example, through the first amendment to the FY21 budget, the City Manager presented and Council approved an additional $2.7 million in operational expenses such as the relocation of the Information Technology Department, police overtime, public safety radio replacement, and upgrades to the West Campus pool. Council budget items totaled $2.3 million, including for surveillance cameras ($1.3 million), traffic calming and
1. On June 30, 2021 the FY21/22 is set. At that time Finance has the Assessed Values for FY21/22 and knows how much the secured property tax revenues will be based on the Assessor’s numbers.
2. One year later, the fiscal year closes on June 30, 2022, and FY21/22 closes.
3. 5-6 months later, the Year-End financials are presented to Council approximately 17 months after the budget was finalized.
