1 DATE: April 26, 2022
TO: Justin Hess, City Manager
FROM: Jennifer Becker, Financial Services Director
SUBJECT: Consideration of General Fund Reserve Strategies
BACKGROUND:
At the mid -year financial report presented to the City Council on March 1, 2022, staff projected that the General Fund would have a spendable balance of $31.5 million at the end of FY 2021 -22. This was due to a variety of factors. First, at the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the City Council took immediate action to implement significant budget saving measures in anticipation of potentially $30 million in lost General Fund revenues. The citywide hiring freeze resulted in the most significant financial impact, but several other measures also contributed to the savings generated, including reductions in training and travel budgets , suspension of City programs and events, and the use of set-aside funds to continue to make additional discretionary payments (ADP) to CalPERS as part of the City Council’s multi-year pension funding plan. Altogether, over $24 million in General Fund savings was generated over a two year period as a result of these actions.
At the same time, the Federal Government provided a swift and robust response to the pandemic, resulting in significant aid being provided to local governments via the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). In 2020, the city received $1.3 million in aid from the CARES Act, in addition to funding for several specialized programs, such as nutrition and small business assistance. Then in 2021, the City was allocated $25.5 million in ARPA fun ds, as part of their State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) program. Most significantly, the regulations establish under ARPA allows local governments to utilize SLFRF funds to backfill revenues lost during the pandemic. Based on the formula provided by ARPA Burbank’s revenue loss through December of 2020 was calculated at $17 million ; this
2 portion of the City’s ARPA allocation can be directed back to the City’s General Fund to help fund City programs and services.
Lastly, Burbank’s e conomy is recovering at a faster pace than initially projected at the beginning of the pandemic, as was discussed during the mid-year report. Sales tax and property tax revenues have returned to pre-pandemic levels, buoyed by a strong housing market, pent up consumer spending, and inflation. Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) and Transient Parking Tax (TPT) revenues have not fully bounced back from COVID-19, but revised projections indicate a full recovery will take three years instead of five.
All of the above actions r esulted in a significant fund balance, because the City still achieved its planned COVID-19 budget savings despite the economy rebounding swiftly and the lost General Fund revenues ultimately being backfilled by the federal aid programs. And while the City still has work to do to restore needed funding for City programs and services and secure the General Fund’s tenuous recurring balance in FY 2022-23 and beyond, staff projects a year end balance of nearly $30 million at June 30, 2023. At the conclusion March 1 City Council meeting, Mayor Talamantes requested that staff provide options of how that one-time balance could be utilized to counteract future economic downturns and secure the City’s long term financial future.
DISCUSSION:
Staff analyzed a number of different options for strategically investing the City’s projected General Fund Balance, taking into account which options would provide the City with the most appropriate level of financial reserves, the best return on investment, and the necessary liquidity for the City to quickly respond to financial emergencies. The following options were considered:
Option 1: Increase the City’s formal reserves
The City Council’s financial policies dictate that the Ci ty maintain two reserves totaling 20% of the General Fund annual recurring budget. 15% is maintained in a Working Capital fund, which is designed to sustain City operations in the event of a significant financial loss or disaster, and 5% is maintained in an Emergency fund which can be used to fud the City’s response to a natural disaster or other catastrophic event. These reserves are both fully funded at $28.9 million and $9.6 million respectively, and combined can provide the City with 2.4 months of General Fund operating funds in the event of a major emergency.
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) best practices recommends that cities reserve two months’ worth of General Fund operating expenses, which equates to roughly 16% of total budget. However this amount is considered the bare minimum and does not account for the varying levels of risk faced by local governments, which range from small townships to large metropolitan cities. In April of 2020, GFOA published a 3 General Fund Reserve Calculation Worksheet, which local governments can use to identify and asses risks and utilize this data determine a target reserve level that is appropriate for their agencies. The worksheets assess a wide range of topics such as risk of natural disaster, debt burden, diversification of revenue, expense volatility, a nd availability of capital funding. Based on staff’s initial analysis of Burbank’s financial position, the worksheet recommends that the City’s level of reserves should be maintained between 17 -25%. While Burbank ranks very well in most of the categories analyzed, between wildfires, floods, high winds, and other human caused incidents, on top of a global pandemic, the past several years tells us that our risk for disaster is higher than we once thought. Thus, the City Council may want to consider moving towards the higher end of GFOA’s recommendations, to provide the City with more of a buffer in the case of one or more catastrophic events.
Adding another 5% to the City’s reserves, for a total of 25%, provides the City with 3 months operating expenses, as opposed the 2.4 months currently available. In addition to the extra layer of financial security this provides to the City, it would also reflect positively to future bond rating agencies and potentially lower the cost of any potentially future debt issuance. Even if the City did have to utilize some amount of reserves for an emergency, the likelihood of falling below the recommended two month minimum is decreased with the larger reserve, thus minimizing the impact of a major disaster on the City’s bond rating. That being said, a 25% reserve would make future budget increases slightly more costly, as every recurring item that is added to the budget in future years would require a contribution of 25% to reserves as opposed to the 20% that is currently required.
Staff completed a survey of the formal reserve levels other local cities similar in size and demographics to Burbank (see Attachment 1). The results averaged 21% among the nine cities surveyed, and ranged from 10% (Torrance) to 40% (Beverly Hill s). Cities on the lower end expressed a desire to increase their reserves to GFOA recommended minimums when financial conditions allowed. Increasing Burbank’s reserves to 25% would put the City in line with Glendale, who is also at 25%, and above that of Pasadena who is currently at 20%.
Option 2: Increase the City’s compensated absences reserve Compensated absences are absences for which employees will be paid either in the current year (short -term) or at a future date in time (long -term), such as vacation, sick leave, and universal leave. The Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) requires that the total amount of accrued leave by all City employees must be calculated annually and reported as a liability on the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). As of the last report dated June 30, 2021, the current outstanding General Fund long term liability for compensated absences was calculated at $14.3 million.
4 The City maintains a compensated absences reserve within the General Fund, currently funded at $2.5 million, or 20% of the total long term liability. When an employee separates from the City and is paid out their remaining leave balances or elects to cash out leave as permitted by MOU, the compensated absences reserve is used to reimburse General Fund Departments for the financial impact of those cash outs, when it cannot be absorbed withing their individual budgets. The City has utilized an average of $225,000 in the past 10 years, with payments ranging from zero to $458,000.
As the likelihood of all City employees separating from the City in the same fiscal year is virtually nil, staff does not recommending funding the compensated absences reserve at 100%. However, increas ing the funding level of this reserve from 20% to 25% would provide slightly more of a buffer for the City as the demographics of Burbank’s workforce evolves over time. T he Public Employees' Pension Reform Act (PEPRA ), lowered the retirement formula and increased the retirement age for all public employees hired after January 2013. As PEPRA employees continue to comprise a larger portion of the City’s overall workforce, it is likely that we will see employees work longer and retire later and thus accrue more leave time throughout the course of their careers that will eventually be paid out from the City.
Option 3: Make additional discretionary payments to CalPERS As part of the City Council’s multi-year pension funding plan, Burbank has made $41 million in one -time additional discretionary payments (ADP) to CalPERS , with another $12 million payment planned as part of the FY 2022 -23 Proposed Budget. By paying down the City’s unfunded actuarial liability (UAL) through these payments, t he City has been able to reduce the annual UAL payment owed to CalPERS and increase the funded status of Burbank’s three pension plans. The City has achieved $4.6 million in annual recurring budget savings to date, with another $1 million in savings expect ed following the ADP planned for July 2022.
On average, the investment returns earned by CalPERS exceed those earned by the City’s cash portfolio; however, these returns are not achieved without some amount of risk. One of the reasons staff recommended sp litting the ADP’s over multiple years is to hedge against any one year of poor performance on CalPERS’ investments and minimize the exposure to the City. It also should be noted that unlike other investments, any one - time payment made towards pensions remains with CalPERS and cannot be returned to the City for any reason. Thus, staff would not recommend any additional payments to CalPERS above and beyond the $12 million ADP currently proposed in the FY 2022 -23 Budget. Staff will return to the City Council with options to extend the multi-year pension funding plan next year after we receive our June 20, 2021 actuarial report, expected in the fall of 2022.
5 Option 4: Contribute to the Section 115 Trust
In June of 2020, the City established a Section 115 Trust for pension obligations, which allows the City to set aside funds that could be used to help support future pension-related economic volatility. At the same time, the City Council adopted the Pension Funding Commitment Policy, which states that “any year-end General Fund balance, in excess of 6% of the General Fund’s budgeted recurring appropriations, be used to fund employee pension liabilities (either through a 115 trust or through direct payment to the benefit administrator i.e. CalPERS). This annual funding commitment will be required if employee pension benefits are less than 90% funded.” In accordance with the policy, the City contributed $10.7 million to the 115 Trust during the 2020 -21 fiscal year, but d id not deposit any additional funds in 2021-22, as the regulations dictating how to calculate the amount of “revenue loss” available to the City under ARPA were not yet established by the U.S. Treasury Department, and thus the General Fund Balance did not officially meet the 6% threshold.
While not as aggressive as CalPERS’ pension fund investments, the 115 Trust typically performs better than the City’s current investments, but with a slightly more elevated level of risk. The 115 Trust is also more liquid than sending payments directly to CalPERS, as these funds could be withdrawn at any time to meet the City’s pension obligations. This could include the payment of the normal cost for existing City employees or any additional one-time discretionary payments that the City elects to make towards its UAL.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The safest route to long-term financial stability is to diversify assets as much as possible to achieve a balance of security, liquidity , and return on investment. T hus, staff is recommending a combination of options 1, 2, and 4 as discussed above. The following recommendations have been incorporated into a revised General Fund Forecast (see Attachment 2) with the recommended strategies shown in red.
A. Increase General Fund reserves from 20% to 25% by adding a third “b udget stabilization” reserve account equivalent to 5% of the General Fund recurring budget. This puts the City’s reserve status at slightly higher than the average of our benchmark cities, and provides us with three months of operating cash in the event of a significant emergency – one full month higher than the GFOA recommendations and at the higher end of their risk -based worksheet results .
Should the City identify a need for additional one -time cash due to an economic downturn or a high priority project, the budget stabilization reserve could be utilized without causing the City to dip below GFOA recommended minimums or impact future bond ratings. Staff recommends not requiring this by policy so that funds could be more freely utilized for high priority Council items. Increasing the reserves requires a one -time contribution of approximately $10 million plus an average of $164K per year depending on future year budgeted appropriations. 6 B. Increase the funding target for Compensated Absences from 20% of outstan ding liability to 25%. This further insures that the City can cover the costs of accrued leave balances without any negative impact to the General Fund. The fiscal impact of this recommendation is $700,000 above and beyond the $384,000 contribution currently proposed for FY 2022-23.
C. Subsequent to the previous two recommendations, contribute funds to the City’s Section 115 Trust in accordance with the City’s current Pension Funding Commitment Policy . Based on the projected FY 2022 -23 year-end balance the amount contributed in FY 2022 -23 would be $6.7 million, but that figure will be revised based on actual results. As shown on the attachment, the City would contribute an average of $2.2 million per year to the 115 Trust over the remaining four years of the forecast, based on the projected General Fund Balance in those future years.
The above strategies will ensure that the City is well positioned to absorb any future impacts from unexpected events or fluctuations in the economy . Additionally, these actions will serve to further secure the City’s Aa1 bond rating , thereby reducing the cost of borrowing if the City elects to issue bonds for future large capital projects . Should the City Council approve all three recommendations, the City will still retain over $12 million in spendable General Fund balance to cover any unexpected economic impacts or one - time expenses during the 2022-23 fiscal year.
