Investment Summary
March 31, 2023
Currently, short-term excess cash is primarily invested in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) administered by the State Treasurer. This is a high quality investment available in terms of safety, liquidity, and yield. Due to fluctuations in the marketplace, the City may have some investments with a current market value that is greater or less than the recorded value. This difference has no effect on investment yield as the City intends to hold the securities to maturity. However, generally accepted accounting principles require that market gains and losses be reported as interest earnings or losses at year-end.

City Council Agenda Staff Report
City Manager Review: SW
Council Agenda Item No.: 6

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Scott Wolfe, City Manager
Meeting Date: April 27, 2023
Subject: Resolution No. 23-03 - “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Buellton, California, Approving the Issuance by the California Statewide Communities Development Authority of Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds for the Polo Village Apartments”
______________________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND:

Palm Communities (Palm) is the applicant and prospective developer of the Polo Village Project, which has been processed ministerially under the SB 35 entitlement process. This project will construct a forty-nine (49) unit project which is to be affordable at the Very Low Income affordability level for forty-eight (48) of those units. The project is located at 560 McMurray Road (Assessor’s Parcel Number 137-090-067), just north of the Village Townhome neighborhood.

In order to finance these units at the Very Low Income affordability level, housing bonds are to be issued. California law authorize cities and certain other public agencies to issue tax exempt revenue bonds to reduce the financing costs of affordable multifamily rental housing developments. In order to make bond issuance as efficient as possible, cities and counties are further authorized to form joint exercise of powers authorities (JPA's) to conduct the sale of bonds on the behalf of JPA members. The California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA) is a joint powers authority established in 1988 by the League of California Cities and California State Association of Counties to assist with the financing of economic development, housing, and charitable activities throughout California. CSCDA is a public entity, separate and apart from each member with which it executes an agreement. CSCDA currently has over 530 member agencies and has issued in excess of $70 billion in economic development bonds throughout California. The agreement with CSCDA (found in an earlier item on this meeting’s agenda) establishes the City of Buellton as a member agency of CSCDA.

The bonds to be issued by the CSCDA for the Project will be the sole responsibility of the Borrower. The City of Buellton will have no financial or legal obligation, liability or responsibility for the Project or the repayment of the bonds for the financing of the Project.

Resolution No. 23-03 Page 2 April 27, 2023
All financing documents with respect to the issuance of the bonds will contain clear disclaimers that the bonds are not obligations of the City of Buellton or the State of California, but are instead to be paid for solely from funds provided by the Borrower.

Pursuant to the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 ("TEFRA"), in order for all or a portion of issued bonds to qualify as tax-exempt, the local jurisdiction within which the project is located must: 1) conduct a public hearing for community members who may be interested in speaking on the use of tax-exempt bonds for the financing of the project; and 2) adopt a resolution approving the proposed tax-exempt revenue bonds.

This agenda item is a public hearing, which has been duly noticed per TEFRA requirements. The public comments (if any) on this agenda item and subsequent consideration of those comments by the City Council fulfills the requirement of the TEFRA public hearing. The attached resolution, if adopted, will approve the issuance of the revenue bonds.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact anticipated. The City will have no obligation or liability associated with the financing. The City will not be a party to the financing documents.

Repayment of the bonds will not be secured by any form of taxation, or be an obligation of the City.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council consider adoption of Resolution No. 23-03 - “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Buellton, California, Approving the Issuance by the California Statewide Communities Development Authority of Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds for the Polo Village Apartments”

Council Agenda Item No.: 7

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Shannel Zamora, Finance Director
Meeting Date: April 27, 2023
Subject: Fiscal Year 2023-24 & 2024-25 Requests for Funding from Outside Agencies
______________________________________________________________________________

BACKGROUND
On February 17, 2023, outside agencies were contacted and instructed to submit their funding requests for Fiscal Year 2023-24 with the possibility of City Council applying a three percent increase for fiscal year 2024-25. The City has received funding requests from six outside nonprofit agencies exclusive of those agencies already included as line items in the City’s budget.

This funding is allocated each year through the Non-Departmental Budget Unit of the General Fund. Last fiscal year, the City allocated a total of $36,720. The total amount requested for FY 2023-24 is $44,000.

Other agencies requesting funding are considered during the budget hearing meetings as part of the Parks Maintenance Budget (PAWS Park and Botanic Garden) and Non-Departmental (Buellton Senior Center).

Each agency will be available to provide a three-minute statement communicating their funding request.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding requests total $44,000 for 2023-24. The City Council funded outside agencies a total of $36,720 in 2022-23. The General Fund anticipates revenue growth in 2023-24 to allow for an increase in funding, therefore the City Council could consider raising the amount available for funding.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council determine the allocations for the 2023-24 funding requests from non-profits that will be reflected in the Non-Departmental budget unit of the General Fund (001-410-67200) and consider a three percent increase to be allocated the following year.

RECEiVED
MAR 22 2023

ITY OF BUELLTON
People Helping People respectfully request the City of Buellton to consider this grant application in the amount of $ 15,000.00. These funds will go directly to support individuals and families in Buellton to address emergency services and basic needs.

For over 30 years People Helping People has provided services to the City of Buellton and the Greater Santa Ynez Valley. We offer 19 service programs under one roof to make access to services easier for our population and to minimize barriers to obtaining services. PHP collaborates with other service providers and county departments to provide no-cost, low-cost services.

People Helping People remains a unique multi-program organization which has developed a model delivery system integrating services for infants, children, and adults into that one stop agency with multiple neighborhood access points. Our services have been primarily furnished to very low and lowincome individuals and families with an emphasis on crisis or trauma stabilization. However, our school based academic, literacy, counseling and other support programs are based on need.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your past support and I look forward to working with the City on future projects. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require and additional information and I am grateful for the opportunity to present this proposal at a future Council meeting.

Mission and Goals
Santa Ynez Valley People Helping People (PHP) is dedicated to improving the lives of adults, and children in the Santa Ynez Valley, Los Alamos, and surrounding communities by addressing emergency and basic needs, furnishing comprehensive integrated family and individual support services, and acting as a catalyst for positive community change. Our Vision - Imagine that adults and children in our service area have the opportunity to attain self-sufficiency with dignity, are able to fulfill their potential, and live in a healthy community.

PHP is the primary provider of human social services in the City of Buellton and the greater Santa Ynez Valley area. Founded in 1992, the purpose ofPHP is to promote the health, safety, and welfare of our neighbors by providing them with the support and tools that they need to become self-sufficient. PHP's core programs include basic needs, food and emergency housing supports, healthcare and mental wellness care, youth programming and family support. These services provide vulnerable individuals and families with the opportunity to attain their goals with dignity and respect. When the most vulnerable in our community thrive, the community experiences more well-being.

For 30 years, PHP has been constant in our community, providing support networks for vulnerable populations and persons in crisis that otherwise would not be available. During the most recent severe weather, PHP was able to assist 16 families with emergency shelter until the County's disaster teams were deployed. PHP will continue to work with community leaders, businesses and clients to meet the needs of our community.

Funding Request
1

This funding request is for direct costs for basic needs programming as outlined below, solely for the residents of the City of Buellton. These requested funds will be expended in Basic Needs programming for food and nutrition, housing and homelessness prevention, and healthcare and mental wellness services.

Based on current trends impacted by the high cost of goods, lack of workforce housing units and COVID related mainstream benefits expiring, PHP anticipates the level of need for vulnerable citizens of Buellton to remain at high levels. Projections include:
o Serve 272 unduplicated clients with food distribution, medical and dental care, mental wellness services and housing stability supports.
o Provide 342 hours of therapeutic individual and family counseling sessions. o Facilitate 59 therapeutic group sessions.
o Five (5) families receive support for homelessness prevention and housing stability. o Six (6) families participating in the evidence-based prevention program, Strengthening Families.
o Twelve (12) families to connect with mainstream benefits Medi-Cal and CalFresh. o 3,120 meals and groceries delivered to Buellton residents totally approximately 93,600 pounds of nutritious food.

Financials
PHP's current fiscal year (July 1,2022 - June 30, 2023) budget is $ 2,137,766.00. Next fiscal year's budget will remain consistent year over year.

PHP has established a robust and diverse revenue stream to fund our mission. A portion of the revenues are contributed as earned income from our thrift store in Buellton, Thriftology. We receive revenue from the store as well as utilizing the goods by providing vouchers for clients in need. The thrift store contributes 18.7% of our total revenue. Foundations and grants account for

20.9% of revenues. Almost 30% of these foundation grants are restricted and funds can only be accessed through eligible expenses. For example, the McCune Foundation Grant funds can only be used for work performed in the Inclusion SYV Program and cannot be used in any other program. There are strict guidelines for the use of restricted funds that must be adhered to.

Failure to comply would potentially impact PHP's non-profit status. Government grants and contracts are 31. 0 % of total revenues. These funds represent contracts and grants from federal, state, and local sources. Since these funds are public funds there are strict requirements for reporting and expenditures. PHP is subject to government oversight and audit with respect to these funds. Special events and fundraising contribute 19.4% towards total revenues. PHP's signature event, the Santa Y nez Valley Polo Classic, is in its 11 th year. This polo classic brings world class polo to the valley along with visitors from outside of our area. Additionally, PHP receives individual donations from the community that contribute 10% of total revenues. Another source of support for PHP programming includes "in-kind" contributions. A good example of inkind support would be found in our food program where PHP receives approximately $ 42,000 in food donations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors of
Santa Ynez Valley People Helping People
Opinion
I have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Santa Ynez Valley People Helping People (a California nonprofit organization), which comprise the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2022 and the related statements of activities, functional expenses and cash flows for the year then ended and the related notes to the financial statements.

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Santa Ynez Valley People Helping People as of June 30, 2022, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion
I conducted my audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. My responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of my report. I am required to be independent of Santa Ynez Valley People Helping People and to meet my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to my audit. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Santa Ynez Valley People Helping People's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements My objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes my opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement reSUlting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements, including omissions, are - 1 -

considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, I:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Santa Ynez Valley People Helping People's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in my judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Santa Ynez Valley People Helping People's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

I am required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that I identified during the audit.

Report on Summarized Comparative Information
I have previously audited Santa Ynez Valley People Helping People's 2021 financial statements, and I expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those audited financial statements in my report dated December 8, 2021. In my opinion, the summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ORGANIZATION
Santa Ynez Valley People Helping People (the Organization) is a voluntary health and welfare organization qualifying under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c}(3}. The Organization is generally exempt from federal and state income taxes and is not considered a private foundation.

People Helping People is dedicated to improving the lives of adults and children in the Santa Ynez Valley, Los Alamos, and surrounding communities by addressing emergency and basic needs, furnishing comprehensive integrated family and individual support services, and acting as a catalyst for positive community change.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Financial Statement Presentation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for not-for-profit organizations. The financial activity of the Organization is classified into net asset categories as follows:

Net Assets Without Donor Restrictions: Those net assets and activities which represent the portion of expendable funds available to support general operations.

These net assets are received without donor-imposed restrictions. A portion of these net assets may be designated by the Board of Directors for specific purposes.

Restricted contributions that are received and used in the same period are recorded as net assets without donor restrictions.

Net Assets With Donor Restrictions: Those net assets, contributions and other increases of funds temporarily subject to donor-imposed restrictions. The restrictions are temporary in that they are expected to expire with the passage of time or be satisfied and removed by actions of the Organization that fulfills donor stipulations. The Organization has not received any net assets that are permanent in nature and must therefore be maintained in perpetuity.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements of the Organization have been prepared on the accrual basis.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Organization considers all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents, including demand deposits and money market accounts.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Investments
Investments are recorded at market value.

Inventory
The Organization records inventory for goods on hand at its thrift store and food. The values of thrift store items are estimated based on the expected sale price of the donated goods. The value of food inventory is based on an estimated cost per pound.

Property and Equipment
The Organization records property and equipment at cost if purchased or at fair market value at time of contribution if donated and depreciates these assets using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over periods of 30 to 40 years, while furniture and equipment are depreciated over periods of 5 to 10 years. Assets with a cost of $500 or more and useful life of more than one year are capitalized.

Contributions
Contributions and other inflows of funds are recognized as the funds are received or the donor has made an unconditional promise to give. Contributions with donor-imposed restrictions are recorded as increases in net assets with donor restrictions and are then reclassified as net assets without donor restrictions when the restrictions have been satisfied.

Donated Services
The Organization relies heavily on volunteers to perform certain services for some of its programs. Because these services do not meet specified criteria for recognition as income and expense, the value of these services has not been included in the Statement of Activities. The Organization also utilizes services provided by volunteer licensed professionals. The Organization uses the market rates the professionals charge to record the value of these donated services.

Donated Goods
The Organization receives donated goods for use in its various programs, including food and durable goods. The Organization records these donations as in-kind contributions at their estimated fair market value. Donated goods, other than those donated to the thrift store, are used by the Organization in their various programs. Items donated to the thrift store are added to the thrift store inventory to be sold. - 8 -

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The Organization has been granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service and the Franchise Tax Board under section 501(c)(3) and 23071d, respectively. The Organization is not considered a private foundation.

Functional Allocation of Expenses
The costs of providing the various programs and supporting services have been summarized by function in the Statement of Functional Expenses. Direct costs are charged directly to the appropriate program. Joint costs such as insurance, rent and facility maintenance are allocated by using the direct costs of each program. The allocations are based on current data.

Change in Accounting Principle
On September 17, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-07 (Topic 958). The core principle of the accounting standard update is to increase transparency around contributed nonfinancial assets received by not-for-profit organizations, including transparency on how those assets are used and how they are valued. The Organization implemented ASU 2020-07 during the year ended June 30, 2022 with no impact on the financial position of the Organization.

PROGRAM SERVICES
The Organization's programs services fall into the following main categories:

Basic Needs
Food
With the support of the Santa Barbara County Foodbank and local donations, People Helping People delivers food to income-qualified families every week from locations in Solvang and Los Alamos. In addition, PHP operates once monthly Farmers Markets in Buellton and Los Alamos, and "Fresh Rescue" pick-up locations four days per week.

Locations change seasonally.

Emergency Solutions
The Organization provides assistance to help clients pay for utilities, transportation, rent, relocation, mortgage, temporary shelter and meals. Household goods and clothing may also be furnished upon presentation of approved vouchers at the Organization's thrift store.

CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUST
During the year ended June 30, 2017, the Organization was notified that they are the recipient of a charitable remainder trust. Under the terms of the agreement the Organization will receive $20,000 per year for the remainder of the donors' lives and then a lump sum payment 75% of the remaining fund balance.

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.

Significant estimates used in preparing these financial statements include:
• Depreciable lives
• Allocation of certain expenses by function
• Value of thrift store inventory
• Value of in-kind contributions
• Allowance for uncollectible contracts, grants and pledges receivable • Valuation of charitable remainder trust
It is at least reasonably possible that the significant estimates used will change within the next year.

CONCENTRATION OF RISK
A significant portion of the Organization's revenues and contracts and grants receivable come from diverse sources of Federal, State of California and local government grants and contracts. These revenues and grants are earned by the Organization based on its services to clients in Santa Barbara County.

CONTINGENCIES
The Organization received funds from a number of contracts with various governmental agencies. These contracts are subject to audit by the corresponding oversight Organization as to allowable costs paid with these funds and as to the share of costs contributed by the Organization. The Organization could be liable up to the full amount of government funds expended should costs charged to the projects be disallowed. Management believes that they have not charged to grants any material amounts that would be disallowed and have therefore not recorded an allowance for these amounts.

LIQUIDITY AND AVAILABLE RESOURCES
The Organization has $1,394,000 of financial assets available within one year of the statement of financial position date to meet cash needs for general expenditures consisting of substantially cash for operations of $401,000, board designated cash reserves of $612,000 and receivables of $260,000. None of these financial assets are subject to donor or other contractual restrictions that make them unavailable for general expenditures within one year of the statement of financial position. The contribution receivables are subject to implied time restrictions but are expected to be collected within one year. The Organization has a goal to maintain financial assets, which consist of cash and short-term investments, on hand to meet 60 days of normal operating expense, which are, on average, approximately $386,000. The Organization has a policy to structure its financial assets to be available as its general expenditures, liabilities and other obligations come due.

RELATED PARTIES
The Organization utilizes the services of a Board member for certain graphic design services. Total compensation for services paid to this Board member totaled $6,300 and $3,208 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Another board member was also compensated for IT support totaling $1,600 and $4,800 in the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In addition, the Organization has several bank accounts at a bank where a board member is employed.

Foodbank of Santa Barbara County’s FY 2023-2024 Grant Request to the City of Buellton Dear Shannel,
Foodbank of Santa Barbara County is grateful for our longstanding partnership with the City of Buellton to ensure that no one in Buellton deals with the short and long term consequences of food insecurity and poor nutrition. Thank you for the opportunity to submit this Funding Request Letter for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF FUNDING REQUEST
Foodbank respectfully requests $8,000 in grant funds to purchase nutritious foods and fresh produce that Foodbank and our partner agencies will distribute to food-insecure Buellton residents, free of cost, as part of our comprehensive approach to transforming “Hunger into Health.”
This funding request accounts for 1% of our countywide food purchase budget for FY23 ($775,675); Buellton clients will receive 3% of total food distributed.

ORGANIZATIONAL DESCRIPTION
The Foodbank of Santa Barbara County’s mission is to transform the health of Santa Barbara County through the development of nutritional security and resilience. The Foodbank serves as a nutritional hub for the county, providing for any organization, family, or individual in need of healthy food or educational resources to improve their life through food and lifestyle choices.

Each year we distribute 10M+ pounds of food countywide, with an emphasis on fresh fruits and vegetables. In FY22, 333,000 pounds of food were distributed to 2,300 children, seniors, and low-income residents in the City of Buellton. Using Feeding America’s estimate of 1.28 pounds of food per meal, this equates to approximately 113 annual meals per client, or 28 meals for a family of four. To procure food, we collaborate with local, state, and national food producers, Feeding America, and the California Association of Food Banks.

For the last decade we have been taking steps to leave behind the old food bank model, which was focused on food volume rather than quality, with lines of people waiting for heavy bags of canned and boxed food. Our “Hunger into Health” model values quality and client choice in conjunction with a variety of services to provide people sustainable pathways to better health and well-being. We collaborate with over 200 partners in the county to distribute food, share resources, and run programs.

The Foodbank hosts a suite of targeted educational programs, from preschool to retirement, that provide nutrition education and food literacy skills to those experiencing high levels of food insecurity.

In FY2022, the Foodbank and our nonprofit partners provided nutritional resources to 163,821 unduplicated low-income individuals.
♦ 10.2 million pounds of food, including 3.78 million pounds of fresh produce, were distributed countywide.
♦ 62,335 (38%) were children (0-17 years old)
♦ 79,252 (48%) adults (18-59 years old)
♦ 2,234 (14%) seniors (60 years or older)
♦ 84,866 (52%) served were female
♦ 137,009 (84%) served were Hispanic/Latino
♦ 1,486 volunteers contributed 22,962 hours of their valuable time and service assisting with various programs
COMMUNITY NEED AND FOODBANK’S MISSION
In a typical year, 1 in 4 residents of Santa Barbara County access Foodbank services. Low-income families are economically fatigued from three years of pandemic restrictions, and inflation has added an additional burden, with the costs of groceries, gas, and other basic needs up as much as 10% from the previous year. The recent series of historic atmospheric rivers in California have disrupted some of Santa Barbara County’s biggest industries, including agriculture, hospitality and tourism, construction, and other forms of outdoor work. Workers in these industries often do not have insurance and lose shifts with very little notice.

The latest “Map the Meal Gap'' study from Feeding America, the national network of food banks, shows that the disproportionate rate of economic disparity and hunger affecting frontline communities, particularly communities of color and the working poor, is still present both nationally and locally. Hispanic/Latino/x individuals make up the majority of Santa Barbara County’s poor, and 84% of Foodbank’s clients in FY22. Black community members are three times as likely as their white neighbors to be food-insecure. National data shows that families with children have been hit hardest by the effects of the pandemic.

We anticipate the need for food assistance will remain persistent for vulnerable communities as they get back on their feet. Utilization of federal food assistance programs like Pandemic-EBT and SNAP have been high in California, but one third of food-insecure households don’t qualify for the program. A parent with one child making more than $2900 per month or a parent with two children making more than $3700 per month would not qualify for SNAP. The people who fall “between the cracks” of government food programs rely on charitable food programs like the Foodbank. Jacob, one of our clients, shared how the Foodbank has helped him make ends meet for his family of four children:
“As work slows down in the farms for the season, the assistance I receive from the Foodbank with fresh produce and dry goods helps me save money to be able to pay my rent. The Foodbank gives food out in our neighborhood in the afternoon and this has helped us obtain assistance as we get out of the farm after 1:00PM. We are so grateful for the help!”

When household budgets fall short, healthy food is often the first item to be sacrificed for cheap substitutes like frozen and fast foods. These options are high in sodium, saturated fats, cholesterol, and sugar, and lead to poor health outcomes in both the short and long term. In the short term, lack of nutrition leads to fatigue, lack of focus, gastrointestinal distress, and other symptoms that make working and learning harder. In the long-term, poor nutrition leads to common and often deadly diseases like diabetes, heart disease, depression, and many other complications. The Foodbank’s initiatives countywide are so important because access to nutritious foods and fresh produce can literally save lives.

City of Buellton clients will be able to receive food from our partners at:

1. Veterans Pantry- 164 W Hwy 246. Monday - Friday 8am-5pm

2. Santa Ynez Valley Community Outreach (formerly Buellton Senior Center)- 164 W Hwy 246 (Behind post office) Every day, 24/7

PROGRAM OUTCOMES AND EVALUATION
Our client base informs our decisions about how to serve them best: we continue to work with grassroots partners to listen to the needs of our clients and provide them culturally-appropriate foods in respectful ways. All our educational and marketing materials are produced in English and Spanish, and many educational resources are presented in visual formats.

Increasing access to food and educational programming in the coming year is a priority for us.

The Foodbank will continue to expand our long term programs, while also continuing to respond to the lingering social and economic effects of the pandemic.

In FY23-24, with the help of the requested grant funds, the Foodbank will provide 330,000 pounds of food to 2,200 unduplicated children, seniors, and low-income residents in the City of Buellton. Of the food distributed, 40% will be fresh fruits and vegetables. The Foodbank will serve approximately 180,000 unduplicated individuals with 10M pounds of food countywide. Of our Buellton clients, we estimate 34% will be children under 18, 16% will be older adults 60 years or older, 53% will be Hispanic/Latino, and 15% will be female heads of household.

All foods are provided to clients at no cost to them, in conjunction with nutrition education that demonstrates the value of food choices in personal health and well-being. Topics include eating for the prevention or management of common diseases like diabetes and hypertension, how to incorporate more fiber and other nutrients into your daily diet, cooking demonstrations, and more. Clients also will receive outreach for CalFresh/SNAP benefits, including the breakdown of common myths and questions, eligibility screening, and application assistance.

To assess the performance of Foodbank’s programs, we will use our proprietary QR database.

This database compiles client demographic data as reported by partner agencies on a quarterly basis. Foodbank also tracks data on the quantity and type of food distributed. Here we use Ceres, a software that assists with the management of warehouse inventory. With Ceres, we generate reports that detail the total pounds and types of food distributed by each partner agency and Foodbank program site. Using these analyses, Foodbank will also be able to calculate how much fresh produce is distributed.

In addition, Foodbank will use the framework of public health evaluation tool RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance) to measure program effectiveness. We conduct pre-and post-program surveys of our clients, partners, and volunteers to identify gaps in services and adapt to current needs.

AN IMPORTANT YEAR FOR THE FOODBANK
The strength and resiliency of Foodbank of Santa Barbara County has been tested for the last three years of extreme need for nutritional support, but it didn’t start there. We have been responding to a variety of community emergencies for a number of years, including the Thomas Fire and Montecito Debris Flow, the government shutdown of 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic, and most recently, this winter’s atmospheric rivers. Economic and environmental hardship always hit the most vulnerable communities first, who are often already dealing with the “daily disaster” of hunger. Our ability to adapt, expand, and respond has been a strategic measure that we continue to build on as a critical social safety net for our communities. We are the lead agency in VOAD-SBC and are responsible for coordinating emergency food response in the event of a disaster. We are the sole distributor of USDA foods in the county, and as a member of Feeding America, have access to a network of 200 other food banks.

While there are other organizations that distribute food to those in need, none operate on the same scale as the Foodbank or have the operational capacity to procure, store, sort, and deliver food for distribution countywide. We have recently completed a $20M capital campaign for our new South County warehouse, named the “Sharehouse,” which will expand our storage and distribution capacity tenfold as compared to our current Goleta facility. The Sharehouse will allow the Foodbank to accept more fresh produce donations, alleviate strain on our Santa Maria facility, and includes an office building with a Nutrition Resource Center that will be used for engaging with our nonprofit partners, our clients, and our support community.

As our Board and Leadership team work on our next three-year strategic plan this spring, we are reminded of how important it is to have the partnership of all sectors of our community to achieve our mission. Thank you for being an essential piece of our efforts to assure Buellton’s families that hunger will never reach their doorstep. Together we are building a healthier, more resilient Santa Barbara County.

Thanks so very much for your kind consideration of our request.

With gratitude,

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022
(with Independent Auditors’ Report Thereon)

4643 Kennington Drive, Orcutt, CA 93455 • (805) 689-5880 • [email protected] INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Board of Directors of
Foodbank of Santa Barbara County
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Foodbank of Santa Barbara County (a nonprofit organization), which comprise the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2022, and the related statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Foodbank of Santa Barbara County as of June 30, 2022, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of Foodbank of Santa Barbara County and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Foodbank of Santa Barbara County’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

4643 Kennington Drive, Orcutt, CA 93455 • (805) 689-5880 • [email protected] Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, we:
 Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks.

Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
 Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Foodbank of Santa Barbara County’s internal control.

Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
 Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
 Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Foodbank of Santa Barbara County’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Report on Summarized Comparative Information
We have previously audited the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County’s 2021 financial statements and our report dated November 22, 2021. In our opinion, the summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has been derived.

Other Matters
Other Information
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements referred to in the first paragraph as a whole. The accompanying management discussion and analysis on pages 4-5 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the above financial 2 Page 68 of 182
4643 Kennington Drive, Orcutt, CA 93455 • (805) 689-5880 • [email protected] statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and has not been subjected to the auditing standards described in the second paragraph above and on which we place no opinion.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our separate report dated November 16 , 2022, on our consideration of Foodbank of Santa Barbara County’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance.

FOODBANK OF SANTA BARBARA COUNTY

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONAND ANALYSIS
The Foodbank of Santa Barbara County’s (FBSBC) mission is to end hunger and transform the health of Santa Barbara County through good nutrition. It has served as the leading food distribution and hunger‐relief organization in the region since 1982.  Foodbank partners with a network of over 200 nonprofit agencies, including health programs, religious organizations, and schools to serve low‐ income (below federal poverty level) residentsthroughout Santa Barbara County. From warehousesin Santa Barbara and Santa Maria, Foodbank distributed nearly 4 million pounds of fresh produce and nutritious groceries this year.

Foodbank functions as a critical safety net for the approximately 1 in 4 people who experience hunger in the county each year, or 163,821 unduplicated clients in FY22. Our clients include 38% children (0‐17 years), 14% older adults (60 years or older), 78% Latinx/Hispanic individuals, and 52%females.

South Santa Barbara County constitutes 28% of the Foodbank’s service area, with 86,000 individuals served last fiscal year. Foodbank distributed 10.2 million pounds of food to those in need in FY22. Of these, 3.7million poundswere fresh fruits and vegetables.Atotalof 1,486volunteers contributed22,962 hours oftheir valuable time and service to help with food distributions and Foodbank programs.

To empower communities with high levels of food insecurity, Foodbank hosts a suite of nutrition education programs for children, families, and older adults. Lessons and activities are designed to improve long‐term health by developing food literacy skills and incorporating fresh produce into daily diets. Bilingual (Spanish/English) nutrition education programs operate at 94 sites countywide (39 sites in South Santa Barbara County) on a daily and monthly basis. In FY22, Foodbank’s Feed the Future programs provided 1.7 million pounds of healthy food and 337 hours of nutrition education to more than 34,485 unduplicated clients. Notably, all children, families, and seniors participate in Foodbank programs free of cost.

To procure food, Foodbank collaborates with local, state, and national food growers, grocery stores, and individual donors. The Foodbank is a member of Feeding America, a national organization representing over 200 food banks, as well as the California Association of Food Banks. Foodbank leverages these constituencies to purchase large quantities of healthy foods at discounted prices. In response to increased food insecurity during recent emergencies,such asthe 2017 Thomas Fire and the 2018 Montecito Debris Flow, the Foodbank championed the creation of a countywide Disaster Feeding Plan in partnership with Santa Barbara County’s nonprofits and governmental agencies. Planning began in 2018 and the Feeding Plan was put into place in fall 2019.

As a partner with the Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster‐Santa Barbara County (VOAD‐SBC), the Foodbank is logistically responsible for coordinating response efforts when a disaster strikes within Santa Barbara County. The Foodbank is the sole distributor of USDA foods in the county, and as part of a nationwide and statewide network of food banks, has access to food resupply from organizations to the north, east, and south. In March 2020, in response to the COVID‐19 pandemic, the Foodbank aggressively escalated its emergency food distribution efforts, doubling its food distribution capacity and providing emergency safety training to its countywide partner network. 4 Page 70 of 182
The Foodbank of Santa Barbara County has been searching for a larger, more efficient south county warehouse for eight years. In FY22 the organization utilized some of the resources reflected in these financial statements, as well as a $9.5M loan in order to purchase a new warehouse at an initial purchase price of $12.7M.  Also reflected in these financial statements is a principal loan payment of $2M.  With anticipated building improvement costs of $7.9M, FBSBC has launched an $18M capital campaign effortto fund the purchase, and will be looking to dedicated communitymembersforsupport. 5 Page 71 of 182

FOODBANK OF SANTA BARBARA COUNTY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF ACTIVITIES

Foodbank of Santa Barbara County (the Foodbank) was formed as a nonprofit organization in 1982 and incorporated in the State of California in 1987. The Foodbank provides nourishment to those in need by acquiring and distributing safe nutritious food via local agencies and its own direct programs. The Foodbank is transforming the health of Santa Barbara County by building a long-term solution to hunger related issues through food literacy and self-reliance. All Foodbank uniquely designed programs include components of nutrition education.

Direct programs include:
 Mobile Food Pantry Program – Provides reliable countywide assistance to families by distributing perishable and nonperishable food to underserved communities.
 Mobile Farmer’s Market Program – Rapidly distributes fresh produce to low – income families through a farmer’s market-like setting.  Kids Farmer’s Market Program – teaches children through food literacy with a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables through hands on nutrition education.  Older Adult Nutrition Program – Provides low-income seniors with two bags of groceries and fresh produce twice a month, supplementing their food costs.

Volunteers deliver the bags to homebound seniors.
 CalFresh Outreach – A bilingual community outreach coordinator conducts food stamp recruitment and assists with the application process, while offering nutrition education.

The Foodbank is supported by federal, state and local grants, as well as support from the general public.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of the Foodbank is presented to assist in understanding the Foodbank’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Foodbank’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Foodbank have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The significant accounting policies are described below to enhance the usefulness of the financial statements to the reader.

Financial Statement Presentation
Net assets, revenues, gains, and losses are classified based on the existence or absence of donor or grantor-imposed restrictions. Accordingly, net assets and changes therein are classified and reported as follows:
10 Page 76 of 182

FOODBANK OF SANTA BARBARA COUNTY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Net Assets without Donor Restrictions
Net assets available for use in general operations and not subject to donor restrictions.

The governing Board has designated, from net assets without donor restrictions, net assets for an operating reserve.

Net Assets with Donor Restrictions
Net assets subject to donor-imposed restrictions. Some donor-imposed restrictions are temporary in nature, such as those that will be met by the passage of time or other events specified by the donor. Other donor-imposed restrictions are perpetual in nature, where the donor stipulates that resources be maintained in perpetuity.

The Foodbank reports contributions restricted by donors as increases in net assets without donor restrictions if the restrictions expire (that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or purpose restriction is accomplished) in the reporting period in which the revenue is recognized. All other donor-restricted contributions are reported as increases in net assets with donor restrictions, depending on the nature of the restrictions. When a restriction expires, net assets with donor restrictions are reclassified to net assets without donor restrictions and reported in the statements of activities as net assets released from restrictions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist primarily of non-interest-bearing amounts due for food distribution activities as well government contracts considered by management to be exchange transactions. The Foodbank determines an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable based on management’s analysis of the potential credit risk of clients owing the receivable, historical trends, and subsequent collections. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. At June 30, 2022 management believed all accounts receivable were fully collectible and thus no allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable is reported.

Pledges and Bequests Receivable
The Foodbank initially records unconditional pledges receivable and subsequently carried at fair value using present value techniques incorporating risk-adjusted discount rates designed to reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset.

Investments
The Foodbank records investment purchases at cost, or if donated, at fair value on the date of donation. Thereafter, investments are reported at their fair values in the statement of financial position. Net investment return/(loss) is reported in the statement of activities and consists of interest and dividend income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, less external investment expenses. 11 Page 77 of 182

FOODBANK OF SANTA BARBARA COUNTY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of market or cost, if purchased. If donated, the inventory is reported at the lower of market value or fair value on date of donation. In addition, the Foodbank uses the first-in, first-out method.

Property and Equipment
The Foodbank records fixed asset additions over $2,500 at cost, or if donated, at fair value on the date of donation. The lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statement of activities. Costs of maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the respective assets are expensed currently.

Depreciation is computed using straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or in the case of capitalized leased assets or leasehold improvements, the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the lease term. Management has estimated the useful lives of depreciable assets as follows:

Asset Life
Improvements 5 – 20 Years
Structures 7 – 30 Years
Furniture and Equipment 5 – 10 Years
Vehicles 5 – 7 Years
The Foodbank reviews the carrying values of property and equipment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. When considered impaired, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. Management has determined there were no indicators of asset impairment during the year ended June 30, 2022.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The estimated fair values of the Foodbank’s short-term financial instruments, including cash, cash equivalents, and accounts payables arising in the ordinary course of business, approximate their individual carrying amounts due to the relatively short period of time between their origination and expected realization. The fair value of the beneficiary interest in assets held by others is based on the net asset value. The amount shown for the loans approximate fair value. The fair value of the retirement plan asset and related liability is based upon the underlying asset.

Revenue and Revenue Recognition
Exchange Transactions
Agency fee revenue is recognized when the food is transferred to the agency purchasing the food. Special event revenue equal to the estimated fair value of the direct benefits to donors. All products and services are transferred at a point in time. 12 Page 78 of 182

FOODBANK OF SANTA BARBARA COUNTY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Contributions
The Foodbank recognizes contributions when cash, securities or other assets, an unconditional promise to give, or notification of a beneficial interest is received.

Conditional promises to give, that is, those with a measurable performance or other barrier, and a right of return, are not recognized until the conditions on which they depend have been substantially met. Consequently, at June 30, 2022, contributions approximating $2,583,000, have not been recognized in the accompanying statement of activities because the conditions on which they depend has not yet been met. In the year ending June 30, 2022, the Foodbank recognized approximately $40,000 of contributions that were conditional at June 30, 2021
Donated Materials, Facilities and Services
During the year ended June 30, 2022, the Foodbank received 22,962 hours of volunteer service from 1,486 volunteers. The volunteers served as Board members and/or helping with the Foodbank carry out its direct programs. This volunteer time is critical to the success of the Foodbank. However, as this volunteer service does not meet the recognition requirements of generally accepted accounting principles, no amount has been recorded in these financial statements.

The Foodbank’s warehouse facilities are donated through lease agreements with the County of Santa Barbara and the City of Goleta. The donated facilities are recorded at the estimated fair market value of the donated facilities. Promises to donate facilities under unconditional pledge agreements are recorded at the fair value of the promise at the time of the pledge.

Donated materials consist primarily of food. The Foodbank records the fair market value of the donated food as a contribution at the time of receipt. The fair market value of the donated food is based on Feeding America guidelines. All donated food are used in the Foodbank’s programs.

Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and approximated $80,000 during the year ended June 30, 2022.

Functional Expenses
The cost of providing Foodbank programs and other activities is summarized on a functional basis in the statement of functional expenses. The statement of functional expenses presents the natural classification detail of expenses by function. Expenses that can be identified with a specific program or support service are charged directly to that program or support service. Expenses that are attributed to more than one program or supporting function require allocation on a reasonable basis that is consistently applied. Indirect expenses allocated and the basis for allocation are as follows:

Income Taxes
The Foodbank is a California nonprofit public benefit corporation, which is exempt from taxes on income under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3) and State of California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 23701(d); therefore, no provisions for income taxes are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The Foodbank qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under Section 170(b)(1)(A) and has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation under Section 509(a)(1).

The Foodbank evaluates uncertain tax positions, whereby the effect of the uncertainty would be recorded if the outcome was considered probable and reasonably estimable.

As of June 30, 2022, the Foodbank had no uncertain tax positions requiring accrual. The Foodbank files tax returns in U.S. federal and California jurisdictions. The Foodbank’s tax filings are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they are filed. Foodbank is not aware of any activities that would jeopardize its tax-exempt status.

The Foodbank is subject to unrelated business income tax related to the rental of a portion of the Goleta, California warehouse.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, Foodbank management evaluates the estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. Foodbank management believes that the estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, the actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates used in preparing these financial statements include:
 Allocation of certain expenses by function
 Value of donated rental space and food
14 Page 80 of 182

FOODBANK OF SANTA BARBARA COUNTY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 Depreciable lives and estimated residual value of property and equipment  Allowance for uncollectible accounts, grants, contracts and pledges receivable
 Present value of pledges and bequests receivable
It is at least reasonably possible that the significant estimates will change within the next year.

Prior‐Year Summarized Comparative Information
The financial statements include certain prior-year summarized comparative information in total, but not by net asset class. Such information does not include sufficient detail to constitute a presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, such information should be read in conjunction with the Foodbank’s audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2021, from which the information was derived.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to current year presentation.

Change in Accounting Principle
On September 17, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-07 (Topic 958). The core principle of the accounting standard update is to increase transparency around contributed nonfinancial assets received by not-for-profit organizations, including transparency on how those assets are used and how they are valued. The Foodbank implemented ASU 2020-07 during the year ended June 30, 2022 with no impact on the financial position of the Foodbank.

NOTE 5 ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable consist of amounts owed to the Foodbank by local agencies that have purchased food for distribution. Based on historical collection trends, management has determined the receivables are fully collectible; therefore, no provision has been made for uncollectible amounts.

NOTE 6 GRANTS AND CONTRACTS RECEIVABLE
Grants and contracts receivable are primarily from government sources and are considered to be fully collectible by management. All grant and contract receivables are anticipated to be collected in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.

NOTE 7 PLEDGES AND BEQUEST RECEIVABLE
Bequests Receivable
The Foodbank has been named as a 7% beneficiary of a bequest trust that is scheduled to be distributed over a nine-year period. The bequest allows for an annual $3,000 distribution to the Foodbank. In the final year of the trust the remaining balance held 16 Page 82 of 182

FOODBANK OF SANTA BARBARA COUNTY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
in the trust will be distributed to the named beneficiaries. At June 30, 2022 management has estimated the present value of the Trust to be $169,519. Management has used a discount rate of 2.5%.

In‐Kind Leases
The Foodbank had a continuing long-term lease which expired in 2015 with the County of Santa Barbara at no cost for its Santa Barbara warehouse and office. During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Foodbank entered into a second amendment of the lease, extending the term to 2020 and granting three five-year options. During the year ended June 30,2020 the Foodbank exercised its first option to extend the lease term to expire April 2025.

During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Foodbank entered into a continuing long-term non-cancelable lease which expires in 2023 with the County of Santa Barbara at no cost for its Santa Maria warehouse and office. The fair value of the leaseholds to the Foodbank represents an in- kind donation of rental space.

The Foodbank has entered into a month-to-month lease agreement with the City of Goleta. The lease agreement was for warehouse space and required a payment of $1.

The estimated fair value of the lease space has been recorded as an in-kind donation of rental space.

The present value, utilizing a discount rate of 5%, of donated space to be used in future periods is recorded as a pledge receivable. As the lease arrangements are noncancelable and there are no lease charges, the Foodbank deems the pledges to be fully collectible.

Other Pledges Receivable
The Foodbank has recorded unconditional pledges receivable totaling $5,192,720 and $240,916 at June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The unconditional pledges primarily relate to the capital campaign and operation of the Foodbank programs. The Foodbank considers the pledges fully collectible; therefore, no provision has been made for uncollectible pledges receivable. Management has used a discount rate of 3%. 17 Page 83 of 182

NOTE 14 RETIREMENT PLANS
Beginning May 1, 2007, the Foodbank initiated a new 403(b) annuity plan. The plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 2017. For purposes of Matching Contributions, an employee must complete 3 months of service beginning on the employment commencement date. The Foodbank provides a matching contribution that are not in excess of 3% of salary compensation. The employer contribution amount is paid every pay period. For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Foodbank contributed $74,000 and $69,000, respectively.

Effective July 1, 2011, the Foodbank adopted 457(b) and 457(f) deferred compensation plans for the benefit of the Foodbank’s chief executive officer. During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Foodbank restated the 457(b) plan, effective July 1, 2016, extended the yearly employer contributions until June 30, 2019, and increased the yearly contribution amounts. The Foodbank restated the 457(f) plan, effective July 1, 2016.

For the 457(b) plan, the Foodbank will make non-elective annual contributions to the plan on behalf of the chief executive officer. The plan balance will be maintained on the Foodbank’s books in a designated account and will remain the sole property of the Foodbank and be available to satisfy the claims of all general creditors of the Foodbank.

For the 457(f) plan, a one-time contribution was made on the chief executive officer’s 11 Page 87 of 182

behalf under Code Section 457(f) during the year ended June 30, 2021, with the chief executive officer became fully vested in his 457(f) deferred compensation plan in the same year. The Foodbank did not contribute to the 457(f) deferred compensation plan in the year ended June 30, 2022.

As of June 30, 2022, the asset and related liability of the 457(b) plan in the amount of $184,860 are recorded in other assets and liabilities on the statement of financial position.

NOTE 15 CONCENTRATIONS
A significant portion of the Foodbank’s revenues and related grant receivables are derived from government grants and contracts.

As of June 30, 2022 approximately 75% of pledges and bequests receivable are from 3 donors.

As of June 30, 2022 approximately $530,000 of cash and cash equivalents were held in bank accounts in excess of FDIC insured threshold.

Individual donors are primarily from Santa Barbara County, as are the clients of the Foodbank.

NOTE 16 ENDOWMENT
The Foodbank’s endowment has been established for a variety of programs and operating reserves. As required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), net assets associated with endowment funds, including funds designated by the Board of Trustees to function as endowments, are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions.

The Board of Trustees have interpreted the California adopted Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (UPMIFA) as requiring a long-term investment strategy designed to preserve the fair value of the original gift, as of the gift date.

As a result of this interpretation, the Foodbank has classified with the explicit prohibition by the donor as permanently restricted net assets (a) the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment, (b) the original value of subsequent gifts to the permanent endowment, and (c) accumulations to the permanent endowment made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time the accumulation is added to the fund. The remaining portion of the donor-restricted endowment funds that is not classified in permanently restricted net assets are classified as temporarily restricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure by the Foodbank in a manner consistent with the standard for prudence prescribed by UPMIFA.

In accordance with California UPMIFA, the Foodbank considers the following factors in making a determination to appropriate or invest donor-restricted endowment funds: The duration and preservation of the funds

(3) The possible effect of inflation and deflation
(4) The expected total return and the appreciation of investments (5) Other resources of the Foodbank
(6) The investment policies of the Foodbank
Return Objectives and Risk Parameters
The Foodbank has adopted investment and spending policies for endowment assets that attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding to programs supported by its endowment while seeking to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets.

Endowment assets include those assets of donor-restricted funds that the Foodbank must hold in perpetuity.

Strategies Employed for Achieving Objectives
To satisfy its long-term rate-of-return objectives, the Foodbank relies on a total return strategy in which investment returns are achieved through both capital appreciation (realized and unrealized) and current yield (interest and dividends). The Foodbank targets a diversified asset allocation of quality investment vehicles to achieve its long-term return objectives within prudent risk constraints.

At June 30, 2022, the endowment comprised of $6,000,000 of net assets designated by the board of trustees and $5,789 of net assets with donor restrictions.

Changes in designated endowment net assets for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 are as follows:

NOTE 17 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Foodbank has adopted a framework for measuring and disclosing the fair value of assets and liabilities. Accounting principles define fair value as the price that would be received by the Foodbank to sell an asset or be paid by the Foodbank to transfer a 13 Page 89 of 182

FOODBANK OF SANTA BARBARA COUNTY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy has been established that prioritizes valuation inputs into three broad levels to ensure consistency and comparability. The valuation hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in active markets that are not active; discounted cash flows; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities; including general partner estimates and recent third-party appraisals.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying Statements of Financial Position, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then Level 2 fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows.

Fair market valuation of Level 3 assets is based on other market factors to determine if the carrying value of these investments should be adjusted. 14 Page 90 of 182

COVID‐19 FINANCIAL STATEMENT IMPACT
The COVID-19 pandemic, whose effects first became known in January 2020, is having a broad and negative impact on commerce and financial markets around the world.

Management is closely monitoring its liquidity and is actively working to minimize the impact of the pandemic. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Foodbank’s operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and its impacts on the Foodbank’s employees, vendors, and program participants, all of which at present, cannot be determined.

Accordingly, the extent to which COVID-19 may impact the Foodbank’s financial position and changes in net assets and cash flows is uncertain and the accompanying financial statements include no adjustments relating to the effects of this pandemic.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated events through November 16, 2022, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued there were no subsequent events requiring disclosure.

Foodbank of Santa Barbara County

TRANSFORMING HUNGER INTO HEALTH
Fiscal Year 2022

2 | Foodbank of Santa Barbara County Community Impact 2022 | 3 From our CEO
A big focus of our
current work is on
helping families
rebuild after Covid.

Food insecurity has
been a huge factor as
people try to pay back
debts accrued as a result
of Covid under/unemployment.

The current inflationary pressures on lowincome families have made that work even more challenging.

The Foodbank has also been rebuilding –
beginning work on our new south county
facility. Our concept is for a ‘Sharehouse’ instead
of a warehouse. A place where the community
can share food, education and hope.

And I very much hope that you will support our
campaign in the fall to make this facility a living,
breathing reality to keep Santa Barbara County
fed and healthy for generations.

Thanks for all of your support this year, and we
look forward to inviting you to the Sharehouse.

Erik Talkin
CEO, Foodbank of Santa Barbara County
Foodbank:

Securing the Future
I am honored to serve as board chair
again after participating in last year’s
progress on key Foodbank strategies:

1. acquiring a new south county
warehouse;

2. improving board governance; and

3. supporting the team as they responded to ongoing
peak demand driven by the Covid economic crisis and
record inflation.

I thank the Board for their service; management and all the team for their hard work; and all those who volunteered and donated this year.

Much remains to be done to make the new facility fit for purpose.

The office space is nearly ready for the administrative team to move in this year. We expect to complete design, permitting and begin construction this year on the warehouse, so it can be operational by summer 2023.

After an active silent phase of the campaign that spanned the past year, we now come to the community to raise the remaining amount needed. (Please see pages 6-7 of this report for more details.) I ask you to please support this campaign to raise funds needed to modify the new Sharehouse that will provide food, education and hope for decades to come.

Jim Houck
Chair, Board of Trustees
“The Foodbank offers critical services to those in our
county who face food insecurity and hunger, and makes
it easy to get help just when it’s needed the most.

Struggling to put food on the table for yourself and
your family is a pain no one should have to endure. I’m always moved by the power of providing nutritious
foods to those in need when I volunteer at food
distributions. And when I volunteer at fundraisers like Santa Maria Empty Bowls, I’m inspired by the community
members who share the Foodbank’s commitment to ensuring everyone in Santa Barbara County has enough healthy food to eat.” — Monique Limón, California State Senator, 19th Senate District Jim Houck, Chair

We’re grateful to the after-school programs, schools, community centers, churches, city governments and recreation programs, health care services, low-income housing partners, libraries and others who make our nutrition education programs successful.

Agriculture is a major economic force
and a huge quality-of-life boon for all of
us in Santa Barbara County.

Ironically, the very community members
who plant and harvest locally grown
berries, tomatoes, avocados, citrus fruit,
fresh greens and more — that the rest of
us enjoy year round — often can’t afford
to feed their own families.

In 2020, we deepened our partnership
with Community Health Centers of
the Central Coast (CHCCC) to add
nutrition education to their decadelong farmworker support initiative, for which the Foodbank has provided fresh
produce and healthy groceries.

Facing the Covid-19 crisis, CHCCC and
Healthy Farmworkers provided PPE and
education that reduced Covid among
farmworkers from 18% to 4% (before
vaccines were available).

With the County’s Health Education
Office, Health Linkages and Promotores,
peer-to-peer education developed by
our nutrition knowledge team is provided
in Spanish and Mixteco. Topics include
dietary approaches to lower cholesterol,
lower blood sugar and more.

The original programs took place every
other month at four sites in Santa Maria.

Since then, we’ve expanded to serve
farmworkers every month at 12 housing
locations and farms (to eliminate
transportation barriers) from Santa
Maria to Carpinteria.

6 | Foodbank of Santa Barbara County Community Impact 2022 | 7 Our new south county facility will be
more than a warehouse. It will be a
Sharehouse — a place to share food,
education and hope in our community.

Location: 80 Coromar Drive, Goleta
• 57,000-square-foot warehouse and a 20,000-squarefoot office building • Current warehouse is about 10,000 square feet
The new Sharehouse will:
• Cut fuel emissions, reduce food waste and increase
food safety.
• Store 750,000+ pounds of food, making 585,000
meals available for immediate distribution.
• Enable us to accept 80,000 more pounds of food
donations every week.
• Provide space for 1.2 million pounds of disaster food storage, allowing both north and south county to store
more disaster food.
• Feature a Nutrition Promotion Center – a central
location to develop and improve food literacy for all.

INTRODUCING THE FOODBANK’S NEW SANTA BARBARA “SHAREHOUSE”! The Foodbank has long searched for a larger, more efficient facility in south county to respond adequately to food insecurity and ensure disaster resilience.

Lack of space:
• Current warehouse only holds
15% of the food needed.
• We turn away 32,000 pounds of
fresh produce each week.
• Food is currently trucked 72 miles,
handled 8 times and stored in
4 different places.

Increased Food Insecurity:
• During the pandemic, 130,000
people received food monthly.
• Inflation is hitting low-income
residents hardest, with no end
in sight.

Disaster Preparedness:
• If an earthquake or fire shut
down Highways 101 and 154,
south county would have
no emergency food.

WHY IS A NEW WAREHOUSE ESSENTIAL? WHAT IS THE SHAREHOUSE?

While the community rallied around an all-online Covid-era Empty Bowls celebration in 2020, we rejoiced to come together again in person for Santa Barbara Empty Bowls on December 5, 2021 at our south county warehouse. A festive holiday marketplace featured a huge selection of handmade bowls and catered soup to go, plus an array of artist bowls by Empty Bowls founder Danyel Dean and local artist Merrillee Ford, pottery, ceramic art and potted succulents to purchase, and a silent auction.

HUNGER RELIEF CHAMPIONS
Foodbank Hunger Relief Champions donate more than 30,000 pounds of fresh fruits and/or veggies in a single year.

They are noted in the donors appreciation list on these pages, but deserve extra recognition for the role they play in contributing to positive health outcomes countywide in ways that only ample fresh produce – rich in essential micro-nutrients and fiber – makes possible.

HOLIDAY FOOD DISTRIBUTIONS
In response to greater need at the holidays, the Foodbank planned special distributions that offered whole turkeys and chickens, fresh produce, nutritious groceries, diapers and Covid-19 home tests. Local elected officials joined us at Franklin School to serve the community. From left: Santa Barbara Unified School District board members Wendy Sims-Moten, Virginia Alvarez and Laura Capps, State Senator Monique Limón, US Congressmember Salud Carbajal and Santa Barbara County Supervisor 2nd District Gregg Hart.

TREE FALLS ON SANTA BARBARA WAREHOUSE
On May 11, 2022, a large eucalyptus tree fell in heavy winds onto our Santa Barbara warehouse, a converted fire station that has housed our south county operations for 30 years. As always, we stayed agile and continued all food distribution as planned! Thanks to robust community support, we were able to replace the generator that was crushed, and rent a temporary portable office until repairs can be made. As of press time, metal supply chain challenges are preventing repairs to the roof.

Three of our favorite hunger responders ranked among The Santa Barbara Independent’s Local Heroes for 2021. Our visionary CEO Erik Talkin’s work to advance health in our county with nourishing food and nutrition education includes award-winning programs, notable books, national-level advocacy and more. Jacob (18) and Joseph (16) Mansbach have devoted the last 10 years to engaging their peers and community to end hunger for local kids, through the Join Jacob initiative, Family Day volunteer events and tireless appeals to the community, particularly throughout the pandemic.

GOLETA’S FINEST: NONPROFIT OF THE YEAR
The Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce named the Foodbank Nonprofit of the Year as part of Goleta’s Finest honors in November 2021. Erik Talkin, Foodbank Trustees and a group of our south county team members joined the celebration at the Ritz-Carlton Bacara along with a host of esteemed other community members and organizations that make Goleta a promising place to live.

FOODBANKER INFORMS WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE ON HUNGER
One of the Foodbank’s staff at our Santa Maria warehouse — and an eloquent advocate for programs that support those facing hunger — Ignacio “Nacho” Sanchez represented Santa Barbara County residents who live with food insecurity in a panel discussion on June 15 to inform the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health. He shared his inspiring story of overcoming challenges and his success, with helpful programs like the Foodbank, of becoming able to support himself and his young family.

SANTA MARIA EMPTY BOWLS 2021
Santa Maria Empty Bowls came back to life on November 3, 2021 with a drive-thru event at the Santa Maria Fairpark after a year-long pandemic hiatus. Attendees chose from a variety of gourmet soups to go and picked up pre-packed handmade bowls. Special deliveries of “Party Packs” were made to homes or businesses for groups of 10 or more. A special bowl exchange day took place at our Santa Maria warehouse to be sure patrons had ample opportunity to receive a keepsake bowl of their choice.

16 | Foodbank of Santa Barbara County Community Impact 2022 | 17 WOMEN’S FUND GRANT DEDICATED TO IMPROVING HEALTH FOR OLDER ADULTS The Foodbank is grateful to collaborate again with the Women’s Fund of Santa Barbara, and its informed, discerning 1,000 contributing members who voted to fund a large-scale project to improve the health of local older adults living with food insecurity. We’ll use the generous grant to implement nutrition education programs and expand access to fresh produce and nutritious groceries for low-income seniors.

CLARION AWARD-WINNING NEWSLETTERS
We’re proud of the work the Foodbank does throughout Santa Barbara County. A trio of our newsletters earned a national Clarion Award from the Association of Women in Communications for effective storytelling, and we’re proud of that too! We featured our hands-on children’s nutrition programs, our early Covid emergency response with thousands of home deliveries for seniors, and celebrated our staff for their agility, stamina and commitment through the pandemic.

18 | Foodbank of Santa Barbara County Community Impact 2022 | 19 TABLE OF LIFE GALA 2021
We celebrated our annual Table of Life Gala on October 9, 2021 at Pete and Jillian Muller’s Val Verde estate in Montecito to raise funds to fight hunger in Santa Barbara County. In addition to providing us with a beautiful location to build support for the Foodbank’s mission, host Pete Muller and the Kindred Souls offered sounds that inspired dancing into the evening.

We enjoyed dinner and libations, gardens and presentations by Foodbank champions Mike and Jennifer Mansbach, and a paddle raise emceed by beloved local journalist John Palminteri.

AN AFTERNOON WITH THE LOS PADRES POLO TEAM
The Foodbank was honored to be acknowledged by Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Los Padres Polo Team when they hosted a charity event at a match at the Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club on May

22. Invited guests were encouraged to donate to three local nonprofits – which also included CALM and Heal the Ocean – resulting in significant support for Foodbank healthy food distribution and education programs. Los Padres won that day, as did local community members facing hunger.

We’re proud to further expand disaster readiness across the entire county, not just at the Foodbank, but among our partner agencies and the greater community. We’re continuing to offer certification programs for Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). We graduated a cohort of 38 trainees in May 2022, with another training scheduled for October.

The Foodbank’s disaster specialist Anthony Rodriguez brings formidable expertise in emergency response to the program.

Participants from Santa Maria Salvation Army and Housing Authority of Santa Barbara County joined Foodbank staff to be ready to serve in case of large-scale disasters.

City of Buellton
Ms. Shannel Zamora, Finance Director
P.O. Box 1819
Buellton, CA 93427
Dear Ms. Zamora and the Buellton City Council,
On behalf of everyone we serve – thank you for your past support. We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to request funding for Veggie Rescue because, with your help, we are ‘Putting Good Food to Good Use’.

The mission of Veggie Rescue is to improve the nutrition of and quality of life for community members struggling with food insecurity by providing them with local produce and highquality prepared food while having a positive environmental impact of food waste. Through our unique, flexible food access model, we strategically bridge the gap between farmers and people who are unable to access or afford healthy food. Veggie Rescue works closely with local farmers, farmer markets, and businesses, rescuing nutritionally dense produce and prepared foods that would otherwise go to waste. Our operations team delivers these perishable items where they are needed most within 24 hours - at no cost - to nonprofit organizations serving our most vulnerable populations.

Veggie Rescue is respectfully seeking a $10,000 grant for the 2023-2024 fiscal year to help underwrite the direct program costs necessary to deliver nutritious, perishable produce to the free farmer’s table and outdoor, self-serve refrigerator located at the senior center in Buellton. With several deliveries being made per week, members of the senior center, and low-income families living nearby, can access and select from the donated foods based on their personal needs, honoring the humanity and dignity of the recipient. For reference, last year alone we delivered approximately 115,000 servings of nutritious food to this location, which had a value of $67,000.

Our delivery team is made up of three part-time drivers and a fleet of three refrigerated vehicles. Since 2019, while our total servings of food rescued has grown over 300%, our direct program costs have only increased 170%. The current operational structure can handle two times the produce we currently rescue. There are plenty of fruits and vegetables available, the only thing holding us back is the need for more funding.

Deliveries in Buellton and Santa Ynez Valley communities for ONE year:

Driver Payroll related costs 30,200
Fuel 10,350
Auto Insurance 1,290
Fleet maintenance and registration 1,750
Supplies and uniforms 680
Vehicle depreciation 7,855
Total Direct Program Budget 52,125

SYV FRUIT & VEGETABLE RESCUE A California Non-Profit Corporation and 501(c)(3) Organizati

Support received from funders enables Veggie Rescue to provide fresh, nutritious fruits and vegetables to many Santa Ynez Valley nonprofit organizations throughout each week. For example, we deliver healthy, perishable food to People Helping People for their outdoor food pantry and their weekly Santa Inez Mission food distribution program. Rescued produce is also delivered to Bethania Lutheran Church, for their food distribution program; Solvang Senior Center, where seniors are able choose nutrient dense fruits and vegetables to supplement their meals or take home; and Atterdag at Home, where the fruit we provide is used to supplement their weekend brown bag program. In addition, we deliver healthy food to Solvang School, Santa Ynez Charter school, and the United Way Fun in the Sun summer program.

As the only nonprofit in the area focused on rescuing and delivering locally grown produce, Veggie Rescue is an integral player in Santa Barbara County’s food network. We are improving the mental and physical health of residents, as well as contributing to a closed loop economy where waste and negative environmental impacts are minimized.
“We work with local farmers to make fresh, nutritious food accessible for those in need and these efforts have a positive impact on the environment, by eliminating food waste. Veggie Rescue relies on the support of generous funders and collaborative partners. It’s a team effort to ensure we are nourishing our community.” Lisa Palmer, Board member
Having recently approved a Strategic Plan, our goals for the next 2-3 years include:
• Double the amount of food rescued over the next 3 years, utilizing our current operating structure to its fullest capacity
• Grow the Community Cooking Project, where volunteers prepare soups and side dishes using rescued produce, to be delivered to nonprofits organizations serving housing and food insecure community members
• Continue seeking new recipient partners, extending our reach into the community to uncover and respond to unmet needs
Veggie Rescue is addressing food insecurity and reducing food waste in Buellton and surrounding communities. Your support fuels our ability to ‘make a difference from the ground up’.

With appreciation,
Christine Franke

Central Coast Film Society Grant Letter
March 28, 2023
Dear City of Buellton Grants Committee,
We are writing to you to express interest in submitting a grant funding request for an event we would like to have in Buellton in the next fiscal year.

The Central Coast Film Society is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that aims to celebrate cinema and promote media arts and entertainment on the Central Coast. We do this by hosting various events to be a source for film and media education and artistic inspiration for filmmakers, students and seasoned professionals. We have hosted discussions, panels and screenings and had our first annual Central Coast Entertainment Expo last fall, where we brought a wide variety of entertainment industry professionals for screenings, demonstrations and panels.

Previously we hosted a drive-in event (thanks to the City) at River View Park in Buellton, where we screened “The Croods”. It was a great success during the pandemic, which allowed families to have a fun ‘night out’ without compromising health.

This event we are looking to host would be at The Santa Ynez Valley Marriott, where we would do a film screening featuring an industry creative that lives on the Central Coast (preferably in the SYV as there are many talented industry people here and we have several connections).

We would do a Q&A with this professional on their career and industry insights and discuss how to support future work on the Central Coast and the Santa Ynez Valley. We would invite local film students and industry professionals as well as the general public.

Our goal is to foster the next generation of artists and have fun of course! We are a group for filmmakers and fans, and those who want to learn the history of how some of our local films were made by those who make them! Funds we

raise go towards supporting local students with scholarships and creative events that supports furthering education.

This event also would be filmed and posted on our website and social media and on our podcast Take18. Any funds will be listed as sponsorships and placed on all media and press regarding this event.

The ballpark to rent the space is roughly $2,000, which is what we would request.

If we proceed we will nail down the costs as it fluctuates depending on the day of the week and season, and give back any unused funds. We are looking to host this event later this summer/early fall.

Please contact us with any questions or need additional information.

Sincerely yours,
Daniel Lahr

CITY OF BUELLTON
City Council Agenda Staff Report
City Manager Review: SW
Council Agenda Item No.: 8
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Shannel Zamora, Finance Director
Date: April 27, 2023
Subject: Determination of Employee Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for Fiscal Year 2023-24
______________________________________________________________________________

BACKGROUND
Every year as part of the budget process, staff presents to City Council a proposed cost of living adjustment (COLA) for regular full-time staff members. For Fiscal Year 2023-24, staff proposes a 5.0 percent COLA. The requested COLA is based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), historic internal data, and external market survey data.

CPI is published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor (BLS).

The City of Buellton uses the “annual” average to formulate the cost of living adjustment.

CPI is a measure that examines the weighted average of prices of a basket of consumer goods and services such as housing, transportation, food and medical care. The BLS reported that the 12-month percent change in the CPI from January 2022 through December 2022 was an annual rate of 7.5 percent for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA area (Attachment 1). Santa Barbara County is included within this area for CPI.

The 30 year historic average annual CPI is 2.56 percent while the average COLA increase for City of Buellton employees is 2.25 percent (Attachment 2). The requested COLA for Fiscal Year 2023-24 is 2.75 percent higher than the historic average COLA granted to city employees and 2.44 percent higher than the average CPI annual change. A survey was taken of fourteen local cities within Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. Cities were asked to provide the percentage increase in salaries for their most current COLA (Attachment 3). The average COLA increase for these cities was 4.04 percent which is 0.96 percent lower than the City’s COLA request. Note that some surveyed cities granted a COLA in addition to market equity adjustments which were not factored into the average calculation.

While not a part of this item, staff will include a request for additional funding in FY 24- 25 as part of the biennial budget proposal for the purpose of hiring of a consultant to perform a compensation and classification study. Such a comprehensive study is

COLA 2023-24 Page 2 April 27, 2023
recommended periodically to ensure that the City can remain competitive within the local and regional job markets.

Staff is proposing 5.0 percent COLA instead of the 7.5 CPI staff historically requests as the COLA. A 7.5 percent COLA would have an overall budget impact of $173,527. The proposed 5.0 percent COLA would increase the budget by $115,686 to salary and benefits for full-time employees excluding the City Manager.

The City Manager is a full time employee of the City, and may be eligible for this COLA as well. However, the City Manager’s employment agreement indicates that while he is eligible for the same COLA as may be received by other City employees as and when authorized by the City Council, the City Council retains sole discretion in determining whether he will receive such a COLA. Therefore, as his annual evaluation date coincides with the new fiscal year, which is the effective date of this COLA, it is recommended that the City Council not consider the City Manager’s receipt of this COLA until his annual evaluation in June
In addition, table 1 summarizes the number of full-time employees at each salary step level.

Of the current 19 full-time employees, thirteen are at their max step level, or 68% of fulltime employees. Without a COLA, more than half of full-time city employees will not experience a pay increase this upcoming fiscal year.

Table 1: FTE Step Levels
Furthermore, most public agency active CalPERS PEPRA members will see a PEPRA member contribution rate increase on July 1, 2023 (Attachment 4). Employees under the Classic CalPERS plan will not be impacted. Under the Public Employees' Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) law, members hired on or after January 1, 2013, are subject to increases or decreases to their member contribution rate each fiscal year based on the CalPERS annual actuarial valuations. For the July 1, 2023-24 fiscal year, the City’s employee contribution is increasing to 8.25 percent from 7.25 percent. The 1.0 percent increase will impact 63 percent of full-time employees. Table 2 illustrates the number of employees in each pension plan.

COLA 2023-24 Page 3 April 27, 2023
Due to average 4.04 percent COLA increase for the nearby local cities, staff determined a

5.0 percent COLA is appropriate to offset the 1 percent PEPRA member contribution increase. The proposed COLA will net to a 4 percent salary increase for PEPRA members.

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact to the City will be dependent upon the action taken by Council. If a 5.0 percent increase is granted, the overall increase to salary and benefits is approximately $115,686. The increase to the General Fund is $81,273, Water Fund is $13,459 and Wastewater Fund portion is $20,954. Staff estimates that available revenue exists to fund the 5.0 percent increase in the next fiscal year.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approves of a cost of living adjustment of 5.0 percent for all fulltime City employees, with the exception of the City Manager, for Fiscal Year 2023-24. If approved by City Council, staff will bring back a resolution authorizing the COLA.

Circular Letter: 200-051-22
Distribution: VI
To: All Public Agency Employers
Subject: June 30, 2021 Actuarial Valuation Reports
Purpose
The purpose of this Circular Letter is to inform you the 2021 actuarial valuation reports for contracting agencies have been completed and uploaded to myCalPERS.

Employer and Member Contribution Requirements
The 2021 valuation reports use demographic data and financial information through June 30, 2021 to set the required contributions for public agency employers and certain members for fiscal year (FY) 2023-24.

As required by the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA), members hired on or after January 1, 2013 (PEPRA members) are subject to possible increases or decreases to their contribution rate based on the results of the annual actuarial valuations. Some PEPRA member groups will experience an increase to their contribution rate for FY 2023-24 as a result of the 2021 valuations. Refer to the cover letter of the report for information on the PEPRA member contribution rate(s) for your rate plan for FY 2023-24.

The recent reported investment return of -6.1% for FY 2021-22 has no impact on required employer or member contributions for FY 2023-24. The impact of this investment loss will be reflected in the June 30, 2022 valuation reports, available in August 2023, and will not impact employer contribution requirements until FY 2024-25.

Circular Letter: 200-051-22
August 12, 2022

More Information
The actuarial valuation reports will also be available on the CalPERS website by the end of September. You can find the Public Agency Valuation Reports on our website.

PEPRA Miscellaneous Plan of the City of Buellton (CalPERS ID: 7472860304) Annual Valuation Report as of June 30, 2021
Dear Employer,
Attached to this letter, you will find the June 30, 2021 actuarial valuation report for the rate plan noted above. Provided in this report is the determination of the minimum required employer contributions for fiscal year (FY) 2023-24. In addition, the report contains important information regarding the current financial status of the plan as well as projections and risk measures to aid in planning for the future.

Because this plan is in a risk pool, the following valuation report has been separated into two sections:
 Section 1 contains specific information for the plan including the development of the current and projected employer contributions, and
 Section 2 contains the Risk Pool Actuarial Valuation appropriate to the plan as of June 30, 2021.

Section 2 can be found on the CalPERS website (www.calpers.ca.gov). From the home page, go to “Forms & Publications” and select “View All”. In the search box, enter “Risk Pool” and from the results list download the Miscellaneous Risk Pool Actuarial Valuation Report for June 30, 2021.

Your June 30, 2021 actuarial valuation report contains important actuarial information about your pension plan at CalPERS. The plan actuary whose signature is in the Actuarial Certification is available to discuss.

Actuarial valuations are based on assumptions regarding future plan experience including investment return and payroll growth, eligibility for the types of benefits provided, and longevity among retirees. The CalPERS Board of Administration (board) adopts these assumptions after considering the advice of CalPERS actuarial and investment teams and other professionals. Each actuarial valuation reflects all prior differences between actual and assumed experience and adjusts the contribution requirements as needed. This valuation is based on an investment return assumption of 6.8%, which was adopted by the board in November 2021. Other assumptions used in this report are those recommended in the CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions report from November 2021.

Required Contribution
The table below shows the minimum required employer contributions and the Employee PEPRA Rate for FY 2023-24 along with estimates of the required contributions for FY 2024-25. Employee contributions other than cost sharing (whether paid by the employer or the employee) are in addition to the results shown below. The required employer contributions in this report do not reflect any cost sharing arrangement between the agency and the employees.

PEPRA Miscellaneous Plan of the City of Buellton
(CalPERS ID: 7472860304)
Annual Valuation Report as of June 30, 2021

The actual investment return for FY 2021-22 was not known at the time this report was prepared. The projections above assume the investment return for that year would be 6.8%. To the extent the actual investment return for FY 2021-22 differs from 6.8%, the actual contribution requirements for FY 2024-25 will differ from those shown above. For additional details regarding the assumptions and methods used for these projections, please refer to the “Projected Employer Contributions” in the “Highlights and Executive Summary” section. This section also contains projected required contributions through FY 2028-29.

Changes from Previous Year’s Valuation
On July 12, 2021, CalPERS reported a preliminary 21.3% net return on investments for FY 2020-21. Since the return exceeded the 7.00% discount rate sufficiently, the CalPERS Funding Risk Mitigation policy allows CalPERS to use a portion of the investment gain to offset the cost of reducing the expected volatility of future investment returns. Based on the thresholds specified in the policy, the excess return of 14.3% prescribes a reduction in investment volatility that corresponds to a reduction in the discount rate of 0.20%, from 7.00% to 6.80%.

On November 17, 2021, the board adopted new actuarial assumptions based on the recommendations in the November 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions. This study reviewed the retirement rates, termination rates, mortality rates, rates of salary increases, and inflation assumption for public agencies. These new assumptions are incorporated in this actuarial valuation and will impact the required contribution for FY 2023-24. In addition, the board adopted a new strategic asset allocation as part of its Asset Liability Management process. The new asset allocation along with the new capital market assumptions and economic assumptions support a discount rate of

6.80%. This includes a reduction in the price inflation assumption from 2.50% to 2.30%.

Besides the above noted changes, there may also be changes specific to the plan such as contract amendments and funding changes.

Further descriptions of general changes are included in the “Highlights and Executive Summary” section and in Appendix A of the Section 2 report, “Actuarial Methods and Assumptions.” Questions
We understand that you might have questions about these results, and the plan actuary whose signature is on the valuation report is available to discuss. If you have other questions, you may call the Customer Contact Center at (888)- CalPERS or (888-225-7377).

CITY OF BUELLTON
City Council Agenda Staff Report

City Manager Review: SW
Council Agenda Item No.: 9

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council

From: Rose Hess, Public Works Director

Meeting Date: April 27, 2023

Subject: Review of Design and Budget for 202 Dairyland Road ______________________________________________________________________________

BACKGROUND

On March 24, 2022, the City Council approved the contract for Architectural services for the renovation of the Willemsen House. The architectural services and design work has progressed with Council direction on the necessary features and modifications, including a contract amendment for structural engineering to retrofit the former residential building to a public facilities building.

The draft plans previously provided include the Architectural, Mechanical and Electrical Plans (90% complete) and the Structural Plans (75% complete). The cost estimate including contingencies is approximately $1.4M. This cost does not include items such as tables, chairs and sofas. However, all shelving, work stations, and other appurtenant fixtures are included.

Total costs to date:
*Design Phase ~$100,000
*Estimated Construction costs ~$1.400,000
*Construction Management (CM) - $75,000
City Council wants to explore the costs for a new construction option. Ballpark costs are estimated at $400-1500/sf for commercial facilities (based on range of other new library construction in California). This would equate to an estimate range of $1,800,000 - $6,750,000 for an equivalent 4,500 sf facility. Differences in costs are due to a variety of factors, including time of construction, location of construction, building specific factors (architectural style, choice of building materials, finish), etc.

It should be noted that if the City Council chooses to build a new building on a vacant part of the property, the existing residence will still need to be structurally reinforced to allow the building to be used by the public. Such costs would be approximately $1,000,000+. A phased development could take place which would allow for the library to be moved into the existing residence after the proposed improvements, and a subsequent building could

202 Dairyland Road Page 2 April 27, 2023
then be designed and built to the City Council’s specifications. The residence could then be repurposed for other public uses.

FISCAL IMPACT

A budget amendment would be required to appropriate funds in the Capital Improvement fund in the FY 2022/2023 Capital Improvement Budget - specifically 092-221-74100, would be required.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council a) provide direction on improvement plans and construction and b) approve a budget amendment to the CIP Fund 092-221.

CITY OF BUELLTON
City Council Agenda Staff Report
City Manager Review: SW
Council Agenda Item No.: 10

To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Andrea Keefer, Planning Director
Date: April 27, 2023
Subject: Consideration of Proposal and Award of Contract to Prepare PreApproved Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Plans ______________________________________________________________________________

BACKGROUND
In 2020, the City was awarded Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) and Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) grant funds to assist with funding for the preparation of several long-range planning projects; including for the preparation of pre-approved ADU plans.

Staff issued a Request for Proposals on March 17, 2023, soliciting proposals for the preparation of pre-approved accessory dwelling unit (ADU) plans for the City. The City received two proposals by the deadline of March 31, 2023; one from Marchi & Associates and another from Workbench/Brockett Architect. Per grant requirements, the deadline for expenditure of the funds is no later than September 2023. Therefore, Staff has estimated a contract start date of May 1, 2023 to ensure adequate time remains to complete the project.

The Plan preparation is expected to conclude by end of August 2023, in advance of the expenditure deadlines for the LEAP and REAP grant funds.

ADUs are being relied heavily upon to the meet the City’s moderate-income unit Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). The pre-approved ADU plans will help streamline and expedite the permitting process for ADUs in the City. By providing three no-cost ADU plan options to applicants wishing to construct an ADU that have been pre-approved by the City, design, permitting costs and timeframes will be greatly reduced. The consultant would be designing three options for ADUs, including floor plans, architectural elevations and foundation and structural plans (detached one-bedroom, detached two-bedroom and studio/one-bedroom garage conversion). Two architectural elevations will be produced for the two detached ADU designs, for a total of four elevations.

LEAP funds have been previously awarded for this program, however as costs of consultants have increased, additional funds are needed. Therefore, we have received approval from REAP grant administrators to re-allocate remaining REAP funds to this project, which we anticipate will cover the full cost of this project.

ADU Contract for Services Page 2 April 27, 2023
Staff has carefully considered both proposals received, and recommends that the contract for this project is awarded to Workbench/Brockett Architect. The following bullet points highlight the reasons for staff’s recommendation:
• Workbench/Brockett Architect submitted the lowest bid when comparing the two proposals received. The City has limited remaining grant funds to cover the cost of the project.
• Workbench/Brocket Architect has indicated an ability to complete the project prior to the grant funding expenditure deadline.
• Workbench/Brockett Architect has a portfolio of relevant experience working on pre-approved ADU plans for other cities throughout California.

A draft contract (w/Exhibit A – Workbench Proposal 3/30/2023) has been included as Attachment 1. At the request of Workbench/Brockett Architect, there are three sections with proposed modifications to the City’s standard contract language (listed below) which have been approved by the City Attorney’s office.
• Ownership of Documents. Workbench/Brockett Architect would like to retain the right to use their work done on this project.
• Notification of Permits. Workbench/Brockett Architect would like to be able to call and get a status update on how many permits were pulled using their work. • Liability Release. Workbench/Brockett Architect would like to require that a liability release is included on all plan sets produced using their work.

Staff has determined that, based upon the proposals received, Workbench/Brockett Architect is the most qualified consultant for this project. Further, Workbench/Brockett Architect has indicated the ability to produce the document within required timeframe and budget. Staff believes that the proposed amendments to the contract are reasonable.

FISCAL IMPACTS
No fiscal impacts are anticipated. There are sufficient Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) and Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) grant funds available to cover the cost of the project.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with Workbench/Brockett Architect to prepare pre-approved ADU plans for the City of Buellton for a total contract amount not-to-exceed $45,500.
