Executive Summary
The presentation of the preliminary Fiscal Year 2023-24 Operating Budget is an opportunity for the City Council/Board/Commission and the community to review and provide feedback on the proposed work plan and budget for the coming fiscal year.
The proposed budget prioritizes the goals in the City Council’s 5-Year Strategic Plan, which was approved in 2022, based on input from thousands of community members. By committing to this plan, rather than goals that are subject to change from year to year, the City Council has enabled staff to work more efficiently while improving the alignment between the annual city budget and the Carlsbad community’s vision for the future.
Each year, during the preparation of the annual budget, staff develop work plans that build upon progress in the strategic plan’s key areas of focus:
Maintain Carlsbad’s unique community character and connectedness
Prioritize the safety and well-being of the community
Protect the environment and natural resources
Foster a healthy local economy
Be a model for effective and efficient local government
The proposed operating budget continues a series of budget process reforms and policies begun in 2018 with the goal of increasing transparency in how the city manages its budget and implementing tighter controls over spending. These changes over the past five years have enabled the City Council to add more than $50 million in new services while maintaining a balanced budget each year.
On the economic front, Carlsbad’s transition from a growing city to one focused on maintaining an excellent quality of life continues to bring new fiscal challenges. As is the case with many cities at this stage of life, current financial forecasts show the costs to maintain current levels of service will exceed projected revenues in as soon as three years. To help close this gap, city staff reduced base operations spending by about 2% in the FY 2022-23 budget, at a time when inflation was 8%. The proposed FY 23-24 budget proposes to reduce ongoing base spending by an additional $2.3 million, during inflationary increases of 6%.
To achieve these savings, staff have identified new efficiencies and are proposing minor reductions in service levels, focusing on areas with the least direct effect on the community.

Explanation & Analysis
The annual operating budget is the most significant expression of how City Council policies are translated into daily operations. The City Council sets the overall policy direction for Carlsbad and helps staff prioritize programs, projects and services to support that direction.
On October 11, 2022, the City Council adopted the city’s five-year strategic plan with policy goals to reflect the most important priorities of the community. These goals are one way the city delivers on the Carlsbad Community Vision, a set of nine core values community members said were important to Carlsbad’s future. The annual city budget contains the work plans and resource allocations to achieve the goals in the strategic plan.
Based on community input, the City Council identified five areas of focus for its five-year strategic plan:
• Community Character: Maintain
Carlsbad’s unique community
character
• Economic Vitality: Foster a healthy
economy
• Quality of Life and Safety: Prioritize
the safety and well-being of the
community
• Sustainability & Natural
Environment: Protect the
environment and natural resources
• Organizational Excellence & Fiscal
Health: Be a model for effective and
efficient local government

Maintaining fiscal health
One way the city has been able to increase focus on community priorities is by identifying efficiencies and reducing spending in areas with the least impact on the community. A series of budget process reforms and policies begun in 2018 has increased transparency in how the city manages its budget and tightened controls over spending. These have included:
• Eliminating an automatic annual increase to department budgets based on inflation.
Instead, requested budget increases are considered based on actual increased costs and approved only after departments have exhausted alternatives for covering increased costs of doing business.
• Stopping the practice of allowing departments to automatically roll over 10% of unspent money to the following fiscal year. Instead, departments may request to roll over funds for a specific purpose, based on a demonstrated need. These carry-forward requests must then be approved by the City Manager or City Council, depending on the amount. • Changing practices around the hiring of part-time temporary staff to ensure full transparency of the actual number of full-time equivalent positions working for the city at any given time.
• Updating the General Fund Reserve Policy to ensure the city has enough money set aside to continue services in an emergency.
• Establishing an economic uncertainty reserve.
• Creating a new cost recovery policy.
• Developing a policy for how to reinvest surplus funds. • Creating a process to ensure ongoing funding for digital infrastructure, which has become as important as physical infrastructure.
• Engaging a grant writer to ensure the city is taking advantage of opportunities for state and federal funding.
• Creating a new internal auditor program to safeguard city resources and improve city operations.
General Fund reserve
The City Council has a policy of maintaining a reserve with the target balance equivalent to 40% of the General Fund operating budget. These are the cash balances made available from the prudent fiscal policy of developing a balanced budget annually and, at times, having unexpected revenues or expenditures come in below what was budgeted. One of the purposes of this reserve is to protect against cyclical swings in the economy. The city is projected to end the upcoming fiscal year with a reserve balance of 59% of the General Fund operating budget.
The recommended preliminary General Fund Operating Budget totals $211.5 million, with estimated revenues of $212.0 million. General Fund revenues provide a representative picture of the local economy. These revenues are of particular interest because they contain most of the discretionary funds that pay for basic city services, such as the Police and Fire departments, library and cultural arts services, street and park maintenance and recreation. A summarized May 23, 2023

Personnel
The proposed budget for next fiscal year includes 807.75 permanent full- and three-quarter- time employees, an increase of 1.0 compared to the final budget amount for fiscal year 2022-
23. Additionally, there is a proposed decrease of part-time employees equivalent to 13.05 full- time employees, for a net personnel decrease of 12.06 full-time equivalent employees.
The following changes were made to full-time employee levels. • Added one Production Technician and one Senior Librarian, Adult & Teen Services (Library & Cultural Arts). The addition of these two full-time positions is offset and funded by the reduction of 5.55 full-time equivalent positions, resulting in ongoing savings to the General Fund of approximately $100,000.
• Added One Senior Office Specialist (Fire). The addition of this full-time position is offset and funded by the reduction of two part-time positions. In conjunction with additional changes made during fiscal year 2022-23, there was no additional cost to the city • Eliminated one full-time administrative position (Community Services) as part of a departmental reorganization within the branch.
Eliminated one vacant Meter Services Supervisor position (Utilities) due to technological advances that changed operation and business needs. The operating budget overview contains a full breakdown of personnel costs for the General Fund.
Lastly, enterprise fund revenues, including those from water, wastewater services and solid waste management and The Crossings at Carlsbad Municipal Golf Course, the city’s golf course, are projected at $92.8 million, a $3.7 million or 4.2% increase over projected fiscal year 2022-23 revenues. Enterprise funds are those that are supported by the fees collected for the service May 23, 2023

rather than the General Fund, and must be accounted for separately under state law. The budgeted expenditures are proposed at $105.6 million for fiscal year 2023-24, which is an increase of $12.8 million or 13.7% over the fiscal year 2022-23 adopted budget. A more detailed look at the year-over-year variances in the city’s enterprise funds, as well as information about the city’s other special revenue funds, can be found in the operating budget overview.
Golf course reserve policy
The Crossings at Carlsbad Golf Course enterprise fund is responsible for its operating and capital expenses and is intended to be self-sufficient. Similar to other funds in the city, such as the General Fund and utility enterprise funds, it is important to have a reserve policy to maintain service levels, manage the golf course’s resources and prioritize operating and capital needs.
The city built The Crossings golf course using funds from both revenue bonds and the city’s General Fund. The city has contributed funds from the General Fund to the Golf Course Enterprise Fund numerous times over the years since the golf course’s initial construction.
Establishing a reserve policy will also allow for the repayment of funds the city provided from the General Fund to build the golf course.
The city’s Internal Auditor presented an internal audit report to the City Council on Aug. 25, 2020 with a recommendation for city management to evaluate how much the city had advanced the golf course from the city’s General Fund. Management performed this evaluation and determined that the golf course was unlikely to repay this advance in the near and foreseeable future. Because of this, the relevant financial reporting requirements dictated that the loan must be reclassified as a “transfer in” to the Golf Course Enterprise Fund and a “transfer out” of the General Fund.
On September 28, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-224 authorizing a $47,031,506 transfer from the General Fund to the Golf Course Enterprise Fund for purposes of writing off the outstanding loan or advance due from the Golf Course. While this action removed the outstanding loan from the city’s financial statements, staff continued to track and disclose the balance with the intention of making future annual repayments to the General Fund when appropriate.
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for outdoor activities such as golf have increased substantially. The golf course’s strong financial performance has raised interest in considering possible repayments to the General Fund. The proposed reserve policy incorporates a funding analysis and mechanism to facilitate future repayments, as explained further below.
The purpose of the proposed golf course reserve policy, which will be presented to the Public Financing Authority for adoption on June 13, 2023, is to ensure the needs of the golf course are met, provide a funding source for long-term, large value capital purchases and demonstrate continued prudent fiscal management.
May 23, 2023
Item #9 Page 6 of 384
The policy sets forth allowable uses of the reserve, to be considered in order of priority.
1. Operation and maintenance: operation and maintenance costs (excluding depreciation) are the first priority of the Golf Course Enterprise Fund.
2. Capital Reserve: On an annual basis, 10% of gross revenues shall be reserved to fund future short-term and long-term capital expenses of the Golf Course Enterprise Fund.
3. Capital Reserve replenishment: In any fiscal year, if the golf course’s excess net revenues are insufficient to make the full contribution to the Capital Reserve, the golf course shall replenish the shortfall in subsequent years when there are excess golf course net revenues remaining. In no event shall the look-back period extend to a deficiency occurring more than five fiscal years. Replenishments shall be applied to the older shortfall first.
4. General Fund repayment: Any funds remaining will be recommended for transfer to the City of Carlsbad’s General Fund and at the authorization of the Public Financing Authority Board of Directors. The amount transferred shall not exceed 3% of gross revenues for the respective fiscal year.
5. Remaining excess: any funds remaining thereafter will be retained in the Golf Course’s Capital Reserve.
The policy prioritizations start with operation and maintenance costs to ensure the golf course can continue to provide sustained levels of service to its patrons.
Establishing a capital reserve, which will be funded annually with 10% of estimated gross revenues, will prioritize both short-term and long-term capital needs with the goal of accumulating a reserve balance sufficient for the golf course to not require assistance from the General Fund in the future.
In any given fiscal year in which the golf course’s excess net revenues are insufficient to make the full 10% contribution to the Capital Reserve, the golf course will have the opportunity in future years to replenish these amounts. This further ensures the golf course will be able to adequately meet and fund its capital-related needs.
After the golf course’s operating and capital priorities are met, a General Fund repayment could then be considered. Any excess revenues in excess of expenses can be considered for repayment up to 3% of gross revenues. Limiting the amount of repayment in any given year mitigates the risk of repaying a significant amount of funds in one year only to end up requiring General Fund assistance in the following year.

Capital Improvement Program
Carlsbad takes a long-range planning approach to building high-quality facilities and infrastructure that support the needs and priorities of the community. Projects in the program are generally defined as any construction, rehabilitation or replacement of major infrastructure such as streets, libraries, parks, fire stations and administrative facilities, water, sewer and drainage facilities, and other facilities that are located on or in the ground.
Because of the city’s financial planning, city staff are able to modernize, repair and replace infrastructure. City staff prioritize projects in the 15-year Capital Improvement Program using several factors, including risk to health, safety and the environment, regulatory or mandated requirements, community values, the condition of the asset, annual recurring costs and asset longevity, scheduling and cost efficiencies, project readiness and funding availability. Staff also consider community input, consistency with studies and reports, staff availability, alignment with operating budget and level of service standards or expectations.
The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Capital Improvement Program outlines $97.7 million in new appropriations to provide additional funding for continuation of existing projects, as well as funding for new projects.
Capital Improvement Program appropriations by project type for FY 2023-24
More than 55 pr ojects are identified as priority projects in the city’s Five Year Strategic Plan, representing an investment of more than $80 million over the next five years. Five new projects totaling $2.7 million in fiscal year 2023-24 are proposed to be added to the program, including projects supporting the Safer Streets Together Plan and the Strategic Plan.
As current project conditions and scope are continually re-evaluated, some projects are removed from the list. This streamlining process allows for unspent balances to be returned to the original funding sources for reallocation to other projects. • In fiscal year 2023-24, three projects are proposed to be removed from the program because of changed conditions that caused the projects to no longer be warranted.

• Three projects intended to support Public Safety operations will be consolidated to improve efficiencies, coordination and cost savings. The Emergency Operations Center Reconfiguration and Fire Administration Offices projects will be incorporated into the Police and Fire Headquarters Renovation project.
The 15-year program includes five proposed new projects, with a total funding request in fiscal 2023-24 of $2.7 million. Details on these proposed new projects begin on page I-5 of Exhibit 1.
The program includes estimated budget information for a 15-year period to provide the most comprehensive information about known future projects. A complete list of projects and estimated funding included in the 15-year program begins on page I-17 of Exhibit 1. All future construction costs are estimates, which are reviewed and refined each year.
The Capital Improvement Program is funded from capital funds such as the General Capital Construction and Infrastructure Replacement Fund as well as developer fees, special district fees and taxes from the community facilities districts and bridge and thoroughfare benefit districts, water and wastewater replacement funds, and other sources such as grants, sales taxes and contributions from other agencies. Estimated capital fund revenues for fiscal 2023-24 are $95.9 million. Projected capital fund balances, revenue and expenditure summaries are provided beginning on page I-12 of Exhibit 1. Further details by fund are provided beginning on page I-29 of Exhibit 1.
Strategic Digital Transformation Investment Program
City staff introduced Connected Carlsbad: An Inclusive City Innovation Roadmap to the City Council in 2019 to provide a high-level, organized guide to the principles that matter to the city in creating a more connected community. The Strategic Digital Transformation Investment Program was put in place last year to expand Connected Carlsbad by defining a strategy for evaluating and prioritizing projects and a five-year investment roadmap that includes estimated costs and timelines. This new investment program is organized into the five primary Connected Carlsbad goal areas, which were approved by the City Council on Jan. 14, 2020 (Resolution No. 2020-005).
The digital transformation program includes budget estimates for projects planned over the next five years, so the City Council and the community are aware of long-term plans and funding needs. Even though budget estimates are included in the five-year plan, staff may only spend money on the projects included in each year’s adopted city budget. More information about the city’s strategy to invest in digital transformation and how the city evaluates these projects can be found on page H-2 of the digital program document in Exhibit 1.
The fiscal 2023-24 digital program outlines 44 continuing and new projects planned over the next five years at an estimated total cost of $33.71 million. The City Council has already appropriated $14.19 million toward these projects through the 2022-23 budget process approved on June 14, 2022 (Resolution No. 2022-135). Staff propose approximately $4.57 million in new budget appropriations to execute the 2023-24 projects. This means an additional $18.76 million will be needed to complete the projects planned through the five-year period.
The tables below present estimated total project costs by primary goal area in Connected Carlsbad for fiscal years the five fiscal years of 2024-28 (five years) and fiscal 2023-24:

Each project identified in the digital transformation program is important to the overall technology health of the city by providing for increased efficiencies, security, transparency and/or informational knowledge.
There are three funding sources for the $4.6 million in appropriations that staff are requesting for the digital transformation program for fiscal year 2023-24:
• Technology Investment Capital Fund
• Information Technology Replacement Fund
• Utilities Enterprise Funds
Each funding source identified has the necessary fund balance to accommodate the new appropriations without additional revenues or transfers. The details for the funding sources can be found in Exhibit 1 on page H-29.

General fees, charges for services and development impact fees Each year staff evaluate and propose changes to the city’s fees for services. Staff conduct these annual reviews to ensure that the fees being charged do not exceed the direct and indirect costs of providing the related services. A comprehensive cost of service study is prepared every three to five years to update the calculation of the cost and confirm that fees and charges for service do not exceed the updated cost.
The last comprehensive cost of service study on most general city fees and all development service fees was approved by the City Council on June 8, 2021. At that time, the City Council directed staff to implement the updated fee structures included in the Final Cost of Service Study and Fee Schedule Update Report. The City Council also directed staff to propose a cost recovery policy to establish a process for adjusting existing fees to industry standard cost recovery ranges, and for recommending fee changes in the future. Based on this direction from City Council, staff presented and the City Council approved a cost recovery policy on March 14, 2023. Staff are now recommending fees for the upcoming fiscal year in accordance with this policy. The proposed rates for fiscal year 2023-24 are presented in the proposed Master Fee Schedule in Exhibit 3 and further discussed below.
• General city fees are charged for the use of city services and property. Depending on the fee, they are increased annually by the increase in the annual West Urban Consumer Price Index or the San Diego Consumer Price Index published by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, both of which reflect the cost of inflation. The West Urban CPI has increased by 6.3% since last year while the San Diego CPI has increased by 6.4%. •
Development-r
elated service fees are charged to recover the cost of staff time and materials spent on development-re
lated activities. These change annually by the change
in the West Urban CPI. Development impact fees are used to pay for infrastructure projects that are needed as a result of new development. These fees will be increased by the index stated in the respective resolution or ordinance establishing the fee, typically the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index. •
Traffic Impact fees are adjusted annually by the change in the Caltrans Construction Cost Index or 2%, whichever is greater. This year the increase in the Caltrans Construction Cost Index is 31.63%. This is the first year since FY 2019-20 in which the increase in this index has exceeded 2%, which reflects the significant price increases in the construction sector over the last two years.
• Ambulance fees have typically been adjusted annually by the Ambulance Inflation Factor, published by the federal Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. This year ambulance fees are being adjusted according to the ambulance fee study the Fire Department completed in April 2023. The study reviewed and analyzed cost factors to adjust ambulance fees according to the actual cost of providing the services as well as average ambulance rates in California. The proposed ambulance fee changes establish a single flat rate for advanced life support and basic life support services, with no differentiation between residents and non-residents, because the cost to the city for each of these services is similar. In future years, the city will go back to adjusting its ambulance fees according to the Ambulance Inflation Factor most years, with more May 23, 2023

detailed evaluations occurring every three to five years. The ambulance fee study is attached as Exhibit 4.
Fee categories and changes by fiscal year
1 Habitat mitigation fees are adjusted annually at half of the rate of the San Diego Area Consumer Price Index .
2. Increase is by the greater of Caltrans CCI or 2%; the Caltrans CCI is 31.63% In addition to regular annual inflationary increases, staff are proposing adjustments to many fees in accordance with the new cost recovery policy. About half of the fees in the Master Fee Schedule are covered by the cost recovery policy. Staff evaluated each fee against the cost recovery parameters in the policy and found that about 64% of the fees covered by the policy were within the specified cost recovery range, while about 36% were not.
Cost recovery analysis and proposed adjustments
Staff are also proposing fees that are currently higher than their specified cost recovery range be decreased to reach the proper range. These fees include some water account fees, minor discretionary permit fees, grading plan check and permit fees and some minor and miscellaneous building permit fees.

The rest of the of fees needing adjustment will be increased into their corresponding cost recovery policy range. Sixty-one of these fees are increasing by 10% or less and have been adjusted to the new proposed cost recovery level for the proposed fiscal year 2023-24 Master Fee Schedule. Staff propose to spread out fee increases of more than 10% over a three-year period, beginning in fiscal year 2023-24 and ending in fiscal year 2025-26.
Staff have conducted further analysis of the 74 fees that are subject to cost recovery increases of 15% or more. Many of these fees are for discretionary entitlement permits, specialized inspections and other fees charged by the Community Development department. These fees are currently far below their designated range in the cost recovery policy. Along with all other fees requiring cost recovery increases of over 10%, these increases will be phased in over a three-year period. Staff will monitor activity related to these services for any unanticipated effects.
Analysis of fees subject to significant cost recovery increase (15% or more) The proposed Master Fee Schedule includes the following new fees described below:
• Environmental impact assessment fees. The Community Development department is proposing new fees for initial studies prior to environmental impact assessments and for addendums to mitigated negative declarations or negative declarations to recover the costs for city processing. An initial study is a preliminary analysis to determine the relative environmental impacts associated with a proposed project. These new fees will allow the city to recover the cost of the Planning Division’s processing of these reports and the staff time required to work with outside consultants on these projects. Because each project’s environmental review is different, the proposed new fees account for the variations and allow more precise fee amounts for projects with different environmental assessment needs. These fees are based on the fully burdened hourly rates 1 of Planning
staff and set in the high cost recovery range because it takes considerable time to work with an environmental consultant team(s) to develop these documents and prepare written findings and evidence to support the decision-making process.

• Storm water quality management plan fees. Staff are proposing adding an additional storm water quality management plan fee for plan review for trash capture only.
Requests to approve trash capture storm water quality management plans are a relatively new application the city is required to process. Adding this new fee will allow for more accurate cost recovery for handling these applications. These fees are based on the fully burdened hourly rates of Engineering staff and were also set in the high cost recovery range due to the staff work they require.
• Special third-party, multiple or recurring inspection fees. The city’s Building Official may accept inspections when they are completed by an approved third party. But all third- party inspection agencies must first be approved by the city before they can conduct any inspections. An approved agency must provide daily inspection logs, certificates of completion and digital images of each inspection stage to the city’s Senior Inspector for documentation. This fee will allow the city to recover costs for processing these inspections. The Building Official reserves the right to approve or deny a request for third-party inspection services based on the availability of staff and resources. These fees are based on the fully burdened hourly rates of Building staff and set in the high cost recovery range along with other permit inspection services, as outlined in the cost recovery policy.
• Complex plumbing permits for private utilities. The city does not have a fee in place for checking plans for private sewer and water mains. These are shown on improvement plans and reviewed by Community Development. Complex plumbing permits fall under the high cost recovery range and fee amounts are based on Building Division staff time. • Sign collection fee. The Code Enforcement Division enforces the city’s sign ordinance, including removing signs that have been illegally placed in the right-of-way. In 2021, 1,249 signs were removed. The city has not recovered any of its costs for enforcing this ordinance. Currently, staff retains any signs that are removed to allow the owner of the signs to retrieve them, and the signs are destroyed after 30 days. At that time, the city would require payment of the collection fee and ask a commercial sign owner to provide evidence of a business license. This is a general administrative fee set in the high cost recovery range and based on Code Enforcement staff time to collect signs and coordinate sign pickup by owners.
• Street light energizing fees. Including the proposed new fee will allow the city to collect streetlight energizing fees more accurately as the variety of streetlight wattages continues to increase. Street light energizing fees reflect changes in electricity prices charged by SDG&E. In last fiscal year’s Master Fee Schedule update, these fees were increased between 21% and 34%. They are to be increased by between 10% and 48% this year, reflecting the significant increase in energy costs over the last two years.
Because SDG&E energizes the street lights, not the city, these fees are not subject to the cost recovery policy.
The City Council separately approved new fees that have already been incorporated into the city’s Master Fee Schedule for third-party hydraulic modeling services on Dec. 6, 2022, and new fees associated with establishing a Mills Act Program and Carlsbad Historic Resource Registry, on Feb. 14, 2023.

Additionally, this year’s evaluation determined that these fees are no longer in use, and staff recommend removing them from the Master Fee Schedule:
• Blueprinting of standard size. This fee is no longer used by the City Clerk’s Office and can be removed from the fee schedule.
• Library printing fees. The Library & Cultural Arts Department is proposing the elimination of patron printing fees. Patron printing and copying has declined over the last several years. The department currently leases its copiers from a different vendor than the city uses for other city printing equipment. Library & Cultural Arts plans to join the contract that the Information Technology Department uses for the rest of the city’s printing and copying needs for enterprise-wide consistency and efficiency. After the initial equipment purchase, the cost to the city for providing printing and copying services to patrons will be comparable to what it has been. That’s because while it will cost less to lease the equipment, staff project there will be continued declines in usage and fee revenue.
• Administrative fee – Driving under the influence. This fee was recommended for removal as part of the 2021 Cost of Service study. It has remained in the Master Fee Schedule but is not in use and staff recommend removing it in accordance with the 2021 study recommendation.
• Massage license permit. The Police Department charges non-certified massage parlor owners a fingerprint processing fee to conduct a background check and this separate fee is not in use.
• Recycled backflow testing. Backflow testing now only applies to potable water customers. Associated fees for recycled water customers are no longer in use and can be removed from the Master Fee Schedule.
• Easement document processing and recording. Staff recommend eliminating the current distinction between major and minor fees in this category and using one flat fee for all projects. Processing and recording easement documents require the same amount of staff time regardless of project or lot size.
Increases to the city’s trash collection rates are set by the contracted service provider and go into effect July 1, 2023. Details on these rates can be found in the proposed Master Fee Schedule in the attached Exhibit 3.

OPERATING BUDGET REVENUE SUMMARY
The Operating Budget for fiscal year
2023-24 totals $371.8 million, with
revenues for the year estimated at
$362.8 million. General Fund revenues
are estimated at $212.0 million and
General Fund budgeted expenditures
are $211.5 million, which includes an
additional $7.4 million in one-time
transfers to the General Capital
Construction Fund. Excluding the one-
time transfer, the General Fund
budgeted operating expenditures are
$204.1 million.
Revenue estimates for the Operating Budget indicate the city will receive a total of $ 362.8 million in fiscal year 2023-24, a change of 0.5% or $1.9 million above the estimated fiscal year 2022-23 revenues. General Fund revenues are expected to increase by $13.2 million compared to the prior year’s adopted revenues and $4.2 million or 2% compared to fiscal year 2022-23 estimates. Special Revenue funds are projected to increase by 4.5% or $0.8 million over fiscal year 2022-23 estimates.
Enterprise Fund revenues are projected to increase by 4.2% or $3.7 million in the upcoming fiscal year. Internal service funds are increasing over the prior year’s adopted budget, but decreasing compared to fiscal year 2022-23 estimates. This is driven by one-time transfers in from the General Fund to fund Workers’ Compensation, Risk Management, and Fleet Maintenance. The Successor Agency Housing Trust revenues are expected to decrease by $1.0 million over current estimates as the loan owed to the General Fund was fully repaid. More detailed information on the city’s revenue sources is provided in the following discussion.
The following table shows the total operating revenues anticipated to be received by the city for fiscal year 2022-23, as well as those budgeted for fiscal year 2023-24.

General Fund
General Fund revenues provide a representative picture of the local economy. These revenues are of particular interest as they fund basic city services such as Police, Fire, Library & Cultural Arts, Street and Park Maintenance and Recreation programs. The table below provides a summarized outlook of the General Fund revenues.
The COVID-19 pandemic created immense uncertainty about the city’s revenues, most notably in sales tax and transient occupancy tax. City leadership adopted t he fiscal year 2021-22 budget anticipating continued adverse impacts from the pandemic with moderate recovery; however, accelerated recovery driven by the staggered lessening of COVID-19 restrictions, pent-up demand, and inflationary increases resulted in sales tax and transient occupancy tax revenue reaching historically high levels. Revenue estimates in the fiscal year 2022-23 adopted budget were not impacted by uncertainty related to COVID-19, but did reflect new uncertainty surrounding the economy. From geopolitical conflict to unprecedented inflationary increases, city staff compiled a budget taking into consideration potential impacts on disposable income, tourism and the housing market. Based on current fiscal year 2022-23 revenue estimates, inflation has not yet negatively impacted the city’s revenue sources. However, as personal savings accumulated during the pandemic is absorbed by pent-up demand and inflation, the looming risk of recession and continued inflationary increases indicate that the most prudent path is to maintain a conservative outlook for the city’s revenues in the future.
Nearly 80% of General Fund revenues are derived from three sources: property tax, sales tax, and transient occupancy tax. Sales tax and TOT revenues tend to be much more sensitive to changes in economic conditions, unlike property tax revenues, which remain relatively stable because of the mitigating effect of Proposition 13, which limits annual growth in assesse d values.
Property tax, the largest source of General Fund revenues, is expected to grow by 3.4% over last year’s adopted budget. While the residential real estate market in Carlsbad has seen significant increases in values in recent years, the growth has begun to cool off. Commercial property assessed values are expected to remain relatively flat as the increase in interest rates has created immense uncertainty in the sector. With the COVID-19 emergency officially ended, the focus on the housing market shifts to other economic factors. In response to the unprecedented inflationary increases Estimated Budgeted $ %

experienced over the last year and a half, the Federal Reserve has responded by raising rates to a current range of 5.0-5.25%, the highest range since July 2006. This has made home purchasing more difficult for borrowers. And while demand remains relatively high both locally and around the state, these increases have certainly contributed to the median home value in Carlsbad falling to $1.3 million, roughly the same value as in December 2021. Proposition 8 allows owners to have their property temporarily revalued if market value is lower than the factored base year value, posing a risk that commercial property values could temporarily decrease.
Assessed values on the residential real estate side are expected to grow modestly, capped by California’s Proposition 13. Adopted in 1978, Proposition 13 limits the annual increase in assessed values for property. Under this proposition, assessed values (and the related property tax) can grow by no more than 2% per year. The value upon which the tax is based is only increased to the full market value upon the sale of a property. The maximum increase of assessed values when properties are not sold is by the change in California’s Consumer Price Index, which was 1.036% in fiscal year 2021-22 – below the 2% cap for the first time since 2016-17. In recent years, residential activity has been driven by low interest rates on mortgages, pent-up demand that built during the shutdown and an increase in the ability to work remotely. Now, increasing rates and diminishing pent-up demand as we move past the pandemic will likely have adverse impacts compared to prior periods. Based on resale data from Zillow, the median price of a single family residence in Carlsbad is $1.3 million, up by
0.7% year over year in March 2023.
Changes in property tax revenues lag behind changes in the housing market, as the tax revenue for the upcoming fiscal year is based on assessed values from the previous January. Thus, the taxes to be received for fiscal year 2023-24 are based on assessed values as of January 1, 2023.
Property taxes tend to grow slowly unless there is a significant amount of development -related activity. In past decades the city has seen robust growth in property tax revenue due to new $33 $35 $35 $35

development, high turnover of existing homes, and double-digit growth in housing prices. However, as opportunities for new development and growth lessen, development -related revenues have slowed. In addition to recent interest rate increases, slower development combined with minimal commercial property transactions and tax reform has caused a slowing in property tax growth in the city.
Sales Tax revenues generally move in step with economic conditions and overall, Carlsbad’s economy has absorbed the inflationary increases experienced over the past 12 -18 months. The restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic led to increases in segments like auto sales, construction, drug store sales, chemical products, food markets and recreational products, while others like restaurants and general retail took a major hit. With the pandemic and its impacts mostly behind us, the uncertainty rests with continued levels of inflationary increase and whether or not the rise in interest rates will lower inflation levels adequately.
Sales tax revenues improved markedly up until fiscal year 2019-20, peaking in fiscal year 2018-19 at $40.8 million. The onset of the pandemic in March 2020 resulted in swift reductions in sales tax revenues and the city ended the year with $38 million in sales tax revenues. During fiscal year 2020- 21, sales tax levels generally correlated with shelter-in-place mandates. As restrictions were lifted, the city’s sales tax levels recovered—the city ended fiscal year 2020-21 with $44 million in sales tax revenues. Fiscal year 2021-22 experienced the most accelerated recovery, ending the year at a historic high of $51.2 million in sales tax revenues. The fiscal year 2022-23 sales tax estimates reflected uncertainty surrounding market and economic conditions like inflation and impacts to disposable income. But these inflationary increases have yet to adversely impact sales tax revenues through the first six months of the fiscal year and staff anticipate another historic high of sales tax revenues. However, this positive experience does not change the future outlook. With continued levels of inflation and a risk of recession looming, staff have proposed a conservative estimate of Transportation,

$51.1 million in budgeted revenue for fiscal year 2023-24 which represents a decrease of $0.3 million, or 1%, over fiscal year 2022-23 estimates.
As indicated in the chart above, the city’s sales tax base is heavily weighted in the transportation (comprised heavily of new auto sales) and general retail sectors, which combined account for over half of taxable sales in Carlsbad. New auto sales are highly elastic—or responsive to changes in price—in comparison to economic trends, and tax revenues from new auto sales fell precipitously during the recession, from $6.7 million in 2007 to $4.4 million in 2009. Since that dip , auto sales tax revenues hit a high of $13.4 million for the four quarters ended December 31, 2022. With general retail sales tax suffering for the year ended December 31, 2020 and recovering in the year after, the most recent four quarters have shown full recovery increasing nearly 57% and reaching historic levels.
Sales tax revenues include those received under Proposition 72, a 0.5 cent increase in California sales tax for the funding of local public safety services.
The third highest General Fund revenue source is Transient Occupancy Tax, also known as TOT or hotel tax. TOT was the revenue category most adversely impacted by COVID-19. From historic highs of $26 million in fiscal year 2018-19, the city experienced year-over-year decreases of 27% and 16%. Recovery from the pandemic was estimated conservatively; however, fiscal year 2021 -22 proved otherwise, reaching a historic high of $32.4 million driven by the easing of restrictions, pent- up demand, and an increase in average daily room rates. This trend continued in fiscal year 2022 -23, whereby actual revenues exceeded conservative estimates that were applied to account for sustained levels of unprecedented inflation. It is estimated that TOT revenues will once again reach a historic high this year.
According to a report from Tourism Economics, San Diego County tourism will see continued growth in visitation demand of around 9.8% in calendar year 2023. The projected increase is supported by the thought that travel has, since the pandemic, been “reclassified” as a necessary expense rather than a discretionary one.

throughout the pandemic may likely indicate that uncertainty in the economy can be mitigated by these additional funds. However, group business travel has yet to fully return to pre-pandemic levels, and uncertainty around rising inflation and diminishing pent up demand continue to drive a moderately conservative estimate in fiscal year 2023-24. The City of Carlsbad currently has approximately 4,776 hotel rooms, 343 registered vacation rentals and over 660 timeshares.
Franchise Tax revenue has stabilized in recent years and is projected at $7.1 million in fiscal year 2022-23. Franchise taxes are paid by certain industries that use the city’s right -of-way to conduct their business. The city currently has franchise agreements for cable TV service, solid waste services, cell sites, fiber optic antenna systems and gas and electric services. The so lid waste franchise fee experienced minor revenue increases that mirror growth in population and changes in rate structures. Cable TV franchise revenue is expected to remain relatively consistent from $1. 39 million in fiscal year 2022-23 to $1.41 million in fiscal year 2023-24. This revenue source will most likely remain stable or decline in future years as more subscribers cut cable services and move to online streaming services.
In April 2021, a new franchise agreement for solid waste was approved with Republic Services of San Diego. The city receives 7.5% of revenues collected as well as an annual payment of $0.8 million in support of AB 939 and $1.3 million storm water fee. The increase in fiscal year 2023-24 is relatively modest compared to the increase experienced in the prior year that was driven by the $0.8 million payment to assist with AB 939.
San Diego Gas & Electric pays franchise taxes for the use of the public land over which they transport gas and electricity. The city also receives an “in-lieu” franchise tax based on the value of gas and electricity transported on SDG&E lines, but purchased from another source. The “in-lieu” tax captures the franchise taxes on gas and electricity that is transported using public lands, which would not otherwise be included in the calculations for franchise taxes due to deregulation of the power industry. This revenue source experienced a significant increase in fiscal year 2022-23 of $919,000 due to price increases, but is expected to remain relatively flat over the next several years.
Business license taxes are closely tied to the health of the local economy, and are projected to increase to $6.4 million in fiscal year 2023-24. This represents growth of $0.2 million or 3% when compared to last year’s adopted budget. Increases in business license taxes correlate with sales tax revenue increases as businesses either pay taxes based on the amount of their gross receipts or based on set fees. There are currently about 9,514 licensed businesses in the City of Carlsbad, 77 less than in the prior year with 6,375 of them located in the city.
Development-related revenues are derived from fees for planning, engineering and building permits, and fees paid by developers to cover the cost of reviewing and monitoring development activities, such as plan checks and inspections. These revenues are difficult to predict as many of the planning and engineering activities occur months or years before any actual development.

Over the last 10 years development-related revenues
have fluctuated in line with increases and decreases
in residential, commercial and industrial
development. In fiscal year 2023-24 the city expects a
21% decrease in development related revenues to
approximately $3.3 million. This follows higher than
anticipated development activity occurring in fiscal
year 2022-23. The projected decrease in
development-related revenues is tied to the volume
and type of development projected to be permitted,
multi-family versus single-family, and a drop in the
revenues derived from building fees which occur in
the early stages of development.
Interdepartmental charges are generated through engineering services charged to capital projects, reimbursed work from other funds and miscellaneous interdepartment al expenses charged to funds outside the General Fund for services performed by departments within the General Fund.
Miscellaneous interdepartmental charges are expected to increase by 10% compared to the prior year’s adopted budget, driven by labor, inflation and cost of construction increases.
Income from investments and property include interest earnings as well as rental income from city-owned land and facilities. The city is expected to earn about $ 3.2 million in interest on its General Fund investments for fiscal year 2022-23 and another $2.7 million in rental and lease income.
The yield on the city’s portfolio is forecasted to average 1.5% and cash balances are expected to remain flat as increases in receipts are projected to be offset by increases in expenditures as the City Council’s goals are operationalized.
Ambulance fee revenues are estimated to increase $3.3 million over last year’s adopted budget, from $3.9 million to $6.3 million. This increase is due to the Fire Department’s addition of two medical transports. The increase is also driven by the Ground Emergency Medical Transportation Certified public Expenditure Program, which helps cover uncompensated costs for Medi -Cal fee-for- service transports. The department submitted cost reports for fiscal year 2018-19 through 2022-23 and is expected to receive a one-time reimbursement of $666,000. Furthermore, the department will participate in the Public Provider Ground Emergency Medical Transport Intergovernmental Transfer Program which will provide add-on reimbursement payments to help cover uncompensated costs in the future. This will generate approximately $883,000 in addition al revenue annually. Lastly, the Fire Department recently completed an ambulance fee study and is proposing to increase the fees to better align cost recovery levels in comparison with jurisdictions in the region. The additional revenue will amount to approximately $2 million annually.
Transfer taxes are those taxes paid to the county upon the transfer of interests in real estate. The tax is $1.10 per $1,000 of property value, split equally between the county and the city. Carlsbad expects to receive approximately $1.6 million in transfer taxes for fiscal year 2023-24 which is a 3% increase from fiscal year 2022-23 adopted budget and relatively consistent with current year estimates. The residential real estate market continues to remains strong; however, this will likely be influenced by rising interest rates. While housing prices in Carlsbad have decreased in recent months, inventories are expected to remain low due to the insulated local demand.

Other intergovernmental revenues include miscellaneous receipts received from the state or federal governments as well as local school districts. With the city receiving its two annual American Rescue Plan Act payments in fiscal 2020-21 and fiscal year 2021-22 totaling $12.6 million, intergovernmental revenues decreased substantially in fiscal year 2022-23 and are expected to remain relatively consistent in fiscal year 2023-24.
The
All other revenues category includes recreation fees, other licenses and fees, fines and forfeitures, transfers in, and other charges and fees. The estimate for fiscal year 2022-23 totals $1.5 million and is expected at just over $1.0 million in fiscal year 2023-24.
Overall, and as reflected in the bar chart above, General Fund revenues are expected to increase $4.2 million or 2% from fiscal year 2022-23 estimates. The General Fund’s primary tax revenues are estimated to increase conservatively to account for the current economic uncertainty and risk of recession. While development-related revenues are expected to decline over prior year estimates, ambulance fee revenues are projected to increase approximately 63% due to a recent ambulance fee study to better align cost recovery with jurisdictions throughout the county. With much of the pandemic’s adverse fiscal impacts behind us, uncertainty surrounding inflation, diminishing pent up demand, impacts to the housing market and overall risk of recession contribute to a conservative outlook that will be monitored into the future.
In the late 1990s the city experienced revenue growth between 9% and 17% due to the opening of new hotels, restaurants, retail centers and new home development. Those levels of planned growth were not sustainable. As new development slows, it will be increasingly more difficult to produce double-digit growth in revenues. In fact, revenue growth has now slowed to 4% over the last ten years. While General Fund revenues have recovered from the pandemic and have thrived through this period of unprecedented inflation, the economic outlook and risk of recession is driving conservative revenue estimates into the future.

Other Funds
Revenues from Special Revenue funds are expected to total $19.5 million, an increase of $0.8 million or 4.5% from fiscal year 2022-23 estimates. Funds collected in this category are restricted to specified purposes. The types of programs supported within Special Revenue funds are those funded by specific revenue streams such as:
• Federal Grants (Rental Assistance and Community Development Block Grants) • Special fees and assessments (Affordable Housing and maintenance assessment districts) • Donations (Library, Cultural Arts, Recreation and Senior Donations)
Compared to the fiscal year 2022-23 adopted budget, the most noteworthy changes in the Special Revenue funds occurred in the Lighting and Landscaping District 2 fund where increases of $0.4 million are expected to occur. These revenues are funded from property owner assessments.
Additionally, the city will be receiving a new funding source for Permanent Local Housing Allocation .
There is no revenue budgeted in the Successor Agency Housing Trust Fund. Although the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency has been dissolved, the California Department of Finance has approved the repayment of the approximately $8.1 million (plus accrued interest) loaned to both the city’s former redevelopment areas by the General Fund as well as debt service payments remaining on the former agency’s 1993 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds. All outstanding loans and interest accrued have been paid to the city by the end of fiscal year 2020-21 and only debt service payments remain. Payments are distributed annually from available property tax revenues allocated by the state to the successor agency.

Enterprise fund revenues for fiscal year 2023-24 are projected at $92.8 million representing an increase of 4.2% or $3.7 million over the current year estimates. The revenue breakdown by activity is shown in the graph below.
Enterprise funds are similar to a business in that rates are charged to support the operations that supply the goods or services. Carlsbad enterprise funds include water and recycled water delivery, wastewater services, solid waste management and the operation of a municipal golf course.
The Water Enterprise Fund revenue for fiscal year 2023-24 is estimated at $48.1 million representing an increase of $1.4 million or 3% when compared to current year revenue estimates.
This is driven by increases in water delivery charges. Projected revenues for Recycled Water of $8.8 million are expected to increase by $0.1 million or 1.6% as minor customer growth is expected and a 1% rate increase is forecasted.
Forecasted revenues for
Wastewater are $22.4 million representing a 16.6% or $3.2 million increase over the current year estimate. This increased estimate is largely driven by rate increases of 20% in 2023 to support rising treatment costs and aging infrastructure costs.
Estimated revenues from operations of the Golf Course are $10.2 million, a slight decrease of $0.3 million or 3.2% when compared to current year estimates. This minor decrease is driven by a projected normalization of golf rounds played compared to the spike in demand experienced throughout the pandemic.

Solid Waste Management revenues are projected to
decrease by 17.9% or $0.7 million when compared to current year estimates. This decrease is mainly driven by a storm water reimbursement from the city’s new waste hauler
contract that was received in the previous fiscal year that will not be received in fiscal year 2023-24.
Internal Service funds project estimated revenues of $38.4 million for fiscal year 2023-24 representing a decrease of
13.3% or $5.9 million over fiscal year 2022-23 projections.
This decrease is driven by one-time transfers from the
General Fund of $10.2 million to fund Workers’
Compensation, Risk Management, and Fleet Maintenance
programs.
Internal service funds account for services provided within the city itself, from one department to another and on a cost reimbursement basis. These include programs such as the self -insurance funds for Workers’ Compensation and General Liability (Risk Management), as well as Vehicle Maintenance and Replacement, and Information Technology. Departments pay for these services and therefore the rates charged are based on the cost to provide the service. The goal of an internal service fund is to match budgeted expenses with charges to the departments.
A recent actuarial review of the
Workers’ Compensation fund determined that the city should continue to set aside cash reserves in anticipation of future workers’ compensation claims. To achieve this, charges to city departments need to increase by 10-15% annually over the next several years. These planned increases went into effect in fiscal year 2021-22 and are continuing into fiscal year 2023-24. The fiscal year 2023-24 operating budget includes $6.1 million for Workers’ Compensation and $7.1 million for Risk Management.
Vehicle Maintenance and Replacement charges are budgeted at $3.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively. Vehicle Maintenance revenues are down compared to current year estimates due to a one-time transfer in from the General Fund of $1.4 million. Vehicle replacement costs rise when the number of vehicles and the price of new vehicles or the cost to maintain those vehicles increases. For example, many older generation sedans at the end of their useful li ves are now being replaced with hybrids and plug-in hybrids at a higher per unit cost. There have also been significant cost increases over the last several years in specialized vehicles such as fire trucks and ambulances as well as supply chain disruptions and unprecedented inflation that have significantly driven up prices.
Information Technology charges to departments have increased by 4.0% or $0.7 million when compared to fiscal year 2022-23 estimates. The main reason for this increase is due to contractual costs previously funded by the Strategic Digital Transformation Investment Program , or SDTIP, continuing beyond their initial year of implementation. The increase is also attributable to contractual increases to existing service contracts.

OPERATING BUDGET EXPENDITURE SUMMARY
The city’s Operating Budget for fiscal year 2023-24 totals $371.8 million, which represents an increase of about $29.5 million or 8.6% as compared to the adopted fiscal year 2022-23 budget. A summary of the changes in each of the city’s programs will be discussed below. Further information about each program can be found in the individual program summary pages.
The General Fund contains most of the discretionary revenues that support core city services.
However, this should not diminish the importance of the other operating funds as they also contribute to the array of services available within Carlsbad. The remainder of this section will provide more information about the budgeted expenditures by fund and program.
To ensure the city continues to maintain a balanced budget and analyze its use of taxpayer dollars, the City Manager asked departments to reduce their existing budget s for fiscal year 2023-24 and decrease discretionary spending wherever possible. This directive came after budget reductions of nearly 2% were achieved in fiscal year 2022-23. In fiscal year 2023-24, General Fund departments were able to reduce their ongoing base budgets by $2.3 million while increasing revenues by $1.1 million. This was accomplished despite the increase in costs for certain mandatory fees and unavoidable costs such as SDG&E rate increases and other rising contracted services costs. Some examples of budget reductions proposed in fiscal year 2023-24 include:
• Reducing several types of maintenance work, including discretionary parks and trails maintenance, custodian services and vehicle maintenance • Eliminating Sunday operation hours at the city’s three libraries • Reducing the number of city cell phones
• Reducing holiday hours at a community centers
• Reducing TGIF concerts from 9 to 6
• Reducing total full-time equivalent staffing levels by 12.06 over the previous year
These efforts contributed immensely to the city’s ability to present a balanced budget in fiscal year 2023-24 and into the future. The reductions proposed were carefully evaluated to ensure ongoing service level impacts were mitigated as much as possible. Through this process, it became clear that the city’s budget has reached a point where further reductions, if pursued, will likely result in significant service level impacts.

The total Operating Budget for the General Fund for fiscal year 2023-24 is $211.5 million which is $13.1 million or 6.6% more than the previous year’s adopted budget of $198.4 million. These changes are discussed in more detail on the following pages.
Personnel costs make up approximately 61.4% of the General Fund budget. The total personnel budget for fiscal year 2023-24 is $129.9 million which is $5.8 million or 4.7% greater than the previous year’s total personnel budget of $124.1 million. This is driven by negotiated compensation increases as well as anticipated step increases. In fiscal year 2023-24, the preliminary budget continues to propose including a line item for “vacancy savings.” This represents the estimated amount of budgeted personnel savings that will be realized by the end of the fiscal year. This mechanism is proposed for multiple reasons: (1) budgeting for vacancy savings reduces the total amount of the General Fund budget, (2) budgeted personnel costs more closely align with actual personnel costs over the course of the fiscal year, (3) historically, the city would bring recommendations to repurpose budget savings at the mid-year point of the fiscal year. This mechanism pre-emptively achieves that objective, and (4) budgeting vacancy savings will achieve alignment with the city’s 10- year forecast which has historically included a line item for vacancy savings.

The table above shows the breakdown of personnel costs for the General Fund. General Fund salaries include full-time and part-time staff costs and are expected to increase in fiscal year 2023-24 by $5.0 million or 6.0%. The increase is primarily due to negotiated salary increases offset by a reduction in total full-time equivalents of 12.06. The full-time staffing changes are listed below. • Library & Cultural Arts added 1.0 Production Technician and 1.0 Senior Librarian in Adult & Teen Services. The addition of these two full-time positions is offset and funded by the reduction of
5.55 full-time equivalent positions, resulting in ongoing savings to the General Fund of approximately $100,000.
• The Fire Department added 1.0 Senior Office Specialist. The addition of this full-time position is offset and funded by the reduction of two part-time positions. In conjunction with additional changes made during fiscal year 2022-23, a cost neutral fiscal impact was achieved. • Community Services Administration eliminated a full-time administrative position as part of departmental reorganization efforts within the branch.
• The Utilities Department eliminated one vacant Meter Services Supervisor position in relation to technological advances that resulted in operational and business need changes within the department.
Retirement Benefits Cost
CalPERS administers the city’s defined benefit pension plan and costs have been increasing in past years as CalPERS addresses a structural shortfall in plan assets to cover unfunded liabilities. As part of CalPERS’ strategy to ensure the plan’s sustainability, CalPERS deliberately raised participating agencies’ contributions over several years to improve the plan’s long-term funded status. The pension system continues to pursue tactics in support of its strategy to ensure plan sustainability such as investing in assets with the objective of achieving a long-term rate of return that meets or exceeds 7%. While pension costs are increasing, there is some downward pressure on costs as new employees receive lower pension benefits. CalPERS has taken significant steps to ensuring plan sustainability, but still poses a significant risk on the city’s cost profile.
In support of CalPERS strategies for plan
sustainability and as part of the city’s strategic, long- term approach to financial management, the city
actively manages its unfunded pension liability. Since
fiscal year 2016-17, the City Council has approved
additional discretionary contributions of $56.4
million to decrease future costs of the city’s
unfunded actuarial liability and achieve a funded
status of 80% in accordance with City Council Policy
Statement No. 86. This active management helps ensure that resources are available to fulfill the city’s contractual promises to its employees and minimizes the chance that funding these pension benefits will interfere with the city’s ability to provide essential public services .
General Fund Health Insurance costs in the General Fund are remaining relatively flat at $10.7 million. Other Personnel Costs include workers’ compensation expenses and other miscellaneous costs such as Medicare, unemployment and disability which are increasing collectively by $0.6 million or 8.6%.

Maintenance and Operations costs represent about 28.2% of the total General Fund budget and include the budgets for all program expenses other than personnel, capital outlay and transfers.
Overall, total maintenance and operations costs are projected at $59.6 million which represents an increase of about $0.4 million or 0.7% for fiscal year 2023-24 when compared to fiscal year 2022-23.
With year-over-year increases in inflation of 8.2% and 6.4%, respectively, this relatively minor increase in maintenance and operations is a tremendous achievement that was accomplished through a strategic analysis of budget reductions. These reductions (1) enabled the General Fund to absorb new unfunded mandates and regulatory budget items, (2) contributed to the proposed budget surplus in fiscal year 2023-24, and (3) will assist in delaying the timing for when expenditures are projected to exceed revenues in the General Fund.
Capital Outlay includes budgeted equipment purchases over $1,000. Capital outlay purchases of $0.1 million are budgeted in the General Fund for fiscal year 2023-24. This represents a decrease of $1.4 million or 95% and is a result of postponing the purchase of new vehicles .
Operating Costs Associated with Capital Investments
As the city completes major capital projects, the costs of maintaining and operating the facilities and improvements, including additional personnel if necessary, are added to departmental operating budgets. The city’s Capital Improvement Program and Strategic Digital Transformation Investment Program budgets include future projected operating impacts, which are estimated in the tables found on pages H-31 and I-16, respectively.

Advances
Advances and repayments of prior advances are amounts anticipated to be transferred from the General Fund to other city funds with expectation of repayment in future years. No General Fund advances are included in this year’s operating budget.
Expenditures in the General Fund remained relatively consistent until fiscal year 2015-16, when the budget reflected an 8.2% increase in expenditures primarily due to increased personnel costs. In fiscal year 2016-17, expenditures included $25.3 million in one-time costs, including $10.5 million for a transfer to the Capital Improvement Program for Fire Station 2 reconstruction and $14.8 million to pay off the golf course construction bonds.
The expenditures for fiscal year 2017-18 reflect a substantial decrease due to the one-time costs reflected in fiscal year 2016-17. These cost reductions were partially offset by an additional one -time payment to CalPERS to address the city’s unfunded pension liability, the addition of nine staff members, additional legal and expert costs associated with the county airport expansion and the Safety Training Center lawsuit, higher personnel costs due to normal salary and benefit increases, and higher mutual aid costs.
Expenditures in fiscal year 2018-19 reflect an additional one-time $20 million payment to CalPERS to further bring down the city’s unfunded pension liability. Fiscal year 2019 -20 included the addition of 34 new full-time employees, but was largely offset due to the city’s response to the COVID -19 pandemic and the need to reduce discretionary spending as much as possible during th at unprecedented time.
Fiscal year 2020-21 expenditures reflect an additional $10 million one-time payment to CalPERS to further bring down the city’s unfunded pension liability. The increase was largely offset by the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic and the city’s efforts to curb and defer expenditures.
Fiscal year 2021-22 expenditures reflect the plan to reinstate city services back to pre-pandemic levels and operationalize the City Council’s goals. The increase includes $5.9 million in one -time costs associated with the goals, and the addition of 18 new full-time and 6.7 part-time employees which May 23, 2023

are mostly associated with the goals. The city again made an additional one-time $6.4 million payment to CalPERS to bring down the city’s unfunded pension liability. Fiscal year 2022-23 expenditures include the addition of 24 full-time employees as well as a number of new one-time requests in order to execute City Council goals, as well as a total of $10.6 million in one-time transfers to fund Workers’ Compensation, Risk Management, and Fleet Maintenance.

Transfers are amounts anticipated to be transferred from the General Fund to another city fund.
The transfers included in the adopted budget are as follows:
$12.6 million split evenly between the Infrastructure Replacement Fund, General Capital Construction Fund and the Technology Investment Capital Fund ($4.2 million each). This will fund major new construction, maintenance and replacement of city infrastructure and facilities, and the city’s future technology needs. This represents 6% of budgeted General Fund revenues and is in line with the requirements set forth in Council Policy No. 91 – Long Term General Fund Capital Funding Policy.
$7.4 million in additional transfers to the General Capital Construction Fund resulting from the estimated General Fund surplus. The General Capital Construction Fund is funded by the General Fund and includes many capital projects programmed in the future. The level of funding necessary to fully fund these projects is an increasing concern. This one -time transfer amount will assist with funding the city’s general capital construction into the future.
$0.3 million to the Storm Water Program for reimbursement of the General Fund portion of Storm Water expenses.
$1.6 million to the Median Maintenance and Street Tree Maintenance Special Revenue Funds to cover cash shortfalls, as annual assessments collected from property owners do not cover annual operating expenditures. Annual assessments can only be increased with a majority vote of the property owners.
General Fund Summary
The operating budget for fiscal year 2023-24 provides a balanced General Fund budget for the coming fiscal year with General Fund revenue estimates exceeding General Fund budgeted expenditures by $0.5 million. This projected surplus will be added to city reserves to be used in accordance with the city’s adopted reserve policy.

Changes in Other Funds
Special Revenue funds are budgeted at $20.2 million representing an increase in expenditures of
16.8% or $2.9 million when compared to fiscal year 2022-23. With the exception of the new funding source, Permanent Local Housing Allocation, spending in most programs is expected to remain at similar or slightly higher levels over the prior year.
Expenditure increases of $0.9 million or 8.9% are planned in the Rental Assistance Fund largely because of program expansion and corresponding increase in rental assistance payments. This reflects additional revenue received from federally funded programs to assist more lower -income households in Carlsbad.
Enterprise funds total $105.7 million which represents an increase of $12.8 million or 13.8% over the fiscal year 2022-23 adopted budget. The Potable Water and Recycled Water funds continue to operate and maintain critical infrastructure systems and provides the safe delivery of drinking water, conservation outreach and treated irrigation water. The Wastewater fund provides reliable wastewater collection services.
The Internal Service funds total $33.3 million and represents an overall increase of $0.7 million or
2.2% over fiscal year 2022-23. Much of the increase in Workers’ Compensation and Risk Management costs is attributable to rising insurance liability rates, claims filed and administrative costs. Vehicle Maintenance and Replacement and Information Technology expenditure s, in total, decreased as a result of vehicle replacement timing. The fiscal year 2022-23 adopted budget included multiple high- dollar vehicle replacements compared to smaller purchases scheduled in fiscal year 2023- 24. More detail regarding the increase in Information Technology due to the reorganization of personnel can be found in the internal service fund piece of the revenue summary section earlier in this doc ument.
The budget for the Successor Agency Housing Trust Fund for fiscal year 2023-24 is approximately the same as the prior year’s adopted budget of $1.1 million. The Recognized Obligation Payments Schedule identifies financial commitments of the former Redevelopment Agency, including the remaining scheduled debt service payments on the Redevelopment Agency bond issue, the outstanding loan from the city’s General Fund and minor allowable administrative costs. The last debt service payment on the bond issue is scheduled for September 2023 and the city loan will be paid off by the end of fiscal year 2023-24. These obligations are to be paid from semi-annual property tax increment revenue received by the Successor Agency.

This program funds asset replacement and vehicle outfitting. Cost - effective vehicle procurement is achieved through cooperative purchasing agreements and bidding processes. Revenue is collected from the sale of retired city fleet assets at auction.

UTILITIES: RECYCLED WATER OPERATIONS

ABOUT
The Carlsbad Municipal Water District owns the Carlsbad Water Recycling Facility located next to the Encina Wastewater Authority treatment plant. CMWD takes treated wastewater from that plant and further treats it to the State of California Title 22 recycled water quality standards and then delivers this water to customers for irrigation and certain industrial uses. This effort reduces the amount of wastewater that would normally be released by the wastewater treatment plant into the ocean outfall, reduces dependence on imported drinking water, and provides customers with a reliable local supply of water for non-potable purposes. Recycled water is not subject to state water conservation requirements.
Delivery of this water includes the operation and maintenance of the recycled water system’s three storage tanks, four pump stations, three pressure-reducing stations, six pressure zones, 97 miles of pipelines, 1,050 valves, and 1,011 meters. CMWD’s Cross-Connection Control and Backflow program ensures a safe supply of drinking water by preventing cross-contamination from the recycled system into the potable system in accordance with federal and state regulations. CMWD also purchases and delivers recycled water from the Vallecitos Water District’s Meadowlark Water Reclamation Facility.

ABOUT
The Utilities Department is responsible for providing wastewater services to approximately 85,000 customers within the city’s service area. The Utilities wastewater mission is to prevent sewer spills and convey waste efficiently to the Encina Wastewater Authority’s treatment plant by properly managing, operating and maintaining all parts of the city’s sewer system. A portion of Carlsbad’s treated wastewater is diverted from the ocean outfall and sent to the Carlsbad Water Recycling Facility for further treatment. The Wastewater Division maintains a sanitary sewage collection system that includes 11 wastewater lift stations and wet wells and about 273 miles of gravity mainlines, six miles of pressurized mains, and 6,168 access holes. The department implements a robust wastewater asset management program to minimize the total cost of owning and operating utility assets while continuing to deliver high levels of service at acceptable levels of risk.
SERVICES
• Operate and maintain infrastructure such as lift stations, wet wells, gravity sewer mains, force mains, maintenance access holes and other elements • Collect wastewater and convey it to the Encina Wastewater Authority treatment plant • Conduct closed-circuit camera review of pipelines to determine pipeline integrity • Participate in the activities and budgets of the Encina Wastewater Authority as part of the Encina Joint Powers Authority

ABOUT
The Code Enforcement Division, working with residents and its partner enforcement agencies, is tasked with enforcing the city’s laws that govern land use and quality of life issues, including public nuisances, safety, and welfare. The purpose of these laws, and their enforcement, is to help maintain safe and healthy living and working conditions for the members of the community. The division’s approach is not to be punitive, but to first attempt to achieve compliance through education before more formal enforcement methods like citations are applied.
SERVICES
• Enforce zoning, building, general property maintenance, and other municipal codes • Conduct inspections of alleged violations received from resident and business complaints • Assist individuals on how to secure required permits and/or obtain compliance with applicable codes
• Collaborate with partner enforcement agencies on overlapping enforcement cases • Ensure that residents are aware and follow rules on short-term vacation rentals

STRATEGIC DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION INVESTMENT
PROGRAM
The Strategic Digital Transformation Investment Program, or SDTIP, is a comprehensive approach to planning for and funding digital transformation efforts throughout the city. Several documents inform this program, including the City Council-approved Connected Carlsbad: An Inclusive City Innovation Roadmap, the Internal Digital Information Network Action Plan, and the Information Technology Strategy, which are complemented by a five-year projected roadmap of digital transformation investments. The SDTIP is the strategic plan for technology and digital transformation combined with project descriptions, costs, funding sources and timelines. The purpose of this program is to provide for an annual investment strategy, not a commitment for spending, that outlines a five-year expenditure plan for future digital transformation and technology projects and the corresponding revenues necessary to pay for them.
Connected Carlsbad: An Inclusive City Innovation Roadmap In January 2019, city staff presented Connected Carlsbad: An Inclusive City Innovation Roadmap, designed to provide a high-level, organized guide outlining the principles that matter to the city in creating a more connected community. This roadmap and its associated action plan were based on a combination of items, including:
• City Council approved projects,
• existing city documents,
• previous Information Technology assessments and interviews with departments, and • a global scan of other cities and best practices that have emerged from leading smart city thinkers and Carlsbad-specific community engagement.
The SDTIP expands on the Connected Carlsbad Roadmap to include a strategy for evaluating and prioritizing projects and a five-year investment roadmap that includes estimated costs and timelines.
This new investment program continues to be organized into the five primary goal areas approved by City Council in Connected Carlsbad, listed below.
• Pursue Communitywide Digital Transformation focuses on the foundational elements, including connectivity, up-to-date hardware and software, and a robust security strategy while providing an aspirational vision for the future.
• Build Capacity for Data-Driven Government focuses on the policies, procedures and staffing necessary for the city to fully capture the value of emerging models of data analytics. • Foster a Vibrant Civic Engagement Culture builds upon the first two goals with a human- centered perspective that an engaged city that uses data and technology in a way that respects people and their privacy will support a vibrant culture where residents, organizations and businesses are invested in their community and its future. • Enhance Accessibility and Transparency recognizes that open government and approaching problem-solving from an accessibility perspective leads to better outcomes for all. • Promote Safety and Sustainability through Connectivity leads to understanding the interconnected nature of our communities that can achieve environmental, mobility and sustainability goals when approached in a cross-departmental and community informed manner.

Once City Council adopts the proposed SDTIP, projects receive an appropriation that authorizes spending in the amount specified for the adopted fiscal year only. Estimated budget information is shown for a five-year period to provide the most comprehensive information about known future projects. Spending authority in future years is not granted until adoption of the annual proposed SDTIP budget associated with each year.
INVESTING IN DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
As the city continues to grow and develop, the use of technology has also grown exponentially over the last two decades. The SDTIP outlines the financial resources needed to ensure that the technology infrastructure is in place to enable the city to provide services to the community. Prudent financial planning will ensure that ongoing funding for investment in technology is available.
PROJECT EVALUATION
Making decisions on technology implementations is a challenging and complex task. The challenging nature of these decisions is exacerbated by the expanding reach of technology and the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of emerging technologies. A major component of the SDTIP is the establishment of a cross-departmental approach to technology leadership to evaluate, prioritize, budget for and adopt digital transformation efforts. A new administrative order has been developed that provides a collaborative forum for key staff to validate and prioritize technology implementations. This approach also provides a structured venue to explore how particular configurations of a technology implementation may positively or negatively affect others within the organization. The process to evaluate digital transformation initiatives is ongoing and meetings may be held on a monthly, bimonthly or quarterly basis depending on the need .
A number of factors are considered when putting together projects for the five- year program.

Consolidation & Replacement of Core Systems
Project Benefits
Without systems that can talk to each other, the city wastes time and resources manually compiling and integrating data. This greatly affects the city’s ability to make data-driven decisions, which are needed to ensure the highest and best use of taxpayer resources. Having f ewer systems that consolidate the city’s core business functions will enable streamlined business processes and provide more timely access to data and information. It will also enhance operations and reduce inefficiencies of employees having to learn and operate multiple systems.
About This Project
This project provides for the consolidation and replacement of the city’s core systems. There are approximately 20 core systems including the city’s financial, human resources, payroll, budget, asset and work order management, licensing and permitting, utilities operations, computer -aided dispatch, land management, and program-event management. Rather than operate many systems wi th narrow applicability, the city is evaluating ways to consolidate its core systems as legacy applications are replaced. This may mean accelerated replacement for certain systems. The goal is to reduce redundancy and inefficiency associated with operating many different systems with different vendors.
Consolidating down to a few systems that seamlessly integrate data and provides a more uniform interface will improve the experience of city employees and the public. The scope of this multi -year initiative includes the analysis, selection, purchase and implementation of the software and hardware necessary to consolidate, replace and integrate these systems with as few systems as possible while maintaining or enhancing existing capabilities.

The city completed an in-depth process to evaluate functional requirements and business processes and, the city’s consultant provided a comprehensive report outlining the city’s requirements for a new consolidated system. The report also outlined the options and costs associated with system consolidation and replacement based on an evaluation of the city’s needs. The next step will involve the development and issuance of a request for proposal for a new consolidated system which is currently in progress. City staff are currently requesting funding of $1.5 million in fiscal year 2023-24 for acquisition and initial implementation and will request an estimated $ 2.0 million in funding for the continued implementation of a new system as part of the fiscal year 2024-25 SDTIP.
It is not currently feasible to determine any operational or replacement costs because they depend on the recommendations of the request for proposal process ; staff will identify more definitive costs during the request for proposal process.

Digital Information Network
Project Benefits
This network will carry the information needed for data processing, email, internet access, public safety applications and a wide range of services that are crucial to city operations.
In 2017, Crown Castle reached a licensing agreement with the city allowing it to install wireless data transmitters on municipal facilities. The agreement with Crown Castle gives the city access to existing fiber-optic cable assets owned by Crown Castle for city use. These cables are made up of multiple fibers which cannot be physically separated from the rest of Crown Castle’s cable infrastructure. The city must make special arrangements with Crown Castle to use this asset.
About This Project
The city has an opportunity to work with a private company called Crown Castle to build a more robust digital information network for its employees and facilities. Beginning in 2019, the city took full advantage of this opportunity and replaced a leased network from a third-party vendor.
As the initial phase of this project has been completed, staff are looking ahead to the second and third phases as originally approved by the City Council. These include leveraging the network to expand services to the Transportation and Utilities departments to replace the aging network infrastructure supporting their key systems. The additional funding request for fiscal year 2023-24 includes elements required for this expansion as well as some feature and functionality enhancements to the services already in place.
It is estimated that for each fiscal year with new funding there will be an increase to operational and replacement requirements of $50,000 and $100,000 respectively for each year with funding. The cost associated with the prior year funding have previously been included in the Information Technology Department’s Operating or Replacement budget requests.

Staff Managed Print
Project Benefits
The increasing use of technology as well as the city’s sustainability goals have reduced the city’s printing needs. By replacing out of date, leased printers, which are approaching end of life, with a smaller number of purchased printers, the city will save an estimated $80,000 a year in electricity, printing supplies and monthly maintenance charges. Over a five-year period, the city will save approximately $400,000 in operational costs overall.
About This Project
The existing printers deployed throughout the city were leased in 2015. Due to their age, they are becoming unreliable and costly to repair. In many instances, replacement parts are no longer available. The new printing fleet will be replaced on a five-year running basis requiring approximately $800,000 in funding from the Technology Investment Capital Fund each fifth year .

Regulator Water Usage Analytics
Project Benefits
The State of California has established water efficiency and allocation requirements as part of water conservation legislation, Senate Bill 606 and Assembly Bill 1668. These bills require urban water retail suppliers to develop annual urban water use objectives for their service areas that represent the total amount of efficiently used water that can be delivered to the service area. The District needs an application that analyzes data by the components of the water allocation and calculates water use efficiency to help meet the new water efficiency and allocation requirements and to provide the data needed for the annual reporting requirements which began in November 2023.
About This Project
In fiscal year 2022-23, staff implemented the Waterview Water Efficiency portal to assist the city in meeting legislatively established water conservation goals and reporting requirements for residential parcels. Additional funding is being requested to expand the use of Waterview for commercial and industrial parcels.
After initial implementation, city staff estimate operational costs to increase by $42,000 starting in fiscal year 2024-25. There is no replacement cost associated with this project.

Cyber Security Program Development
Project Benefits
As a result of internal assessments and evaluations by external parties, city staff have identified certain initiatives within the five functions of the cybersecurity framework to translate into projects.
Implementation of these projects will incur costs and require funding. The funding will cover assessment and evaluation, implementation, and staff training. Once the security infrastructure is in place, operational costs will move to the operation budget. City staff identified and planned the following projects for implementation:
- Disaster Recovery program assessment and development, - Detection capability with security incident and event management technology, - Cybersecurity governance program,
- Data classification tools, and
- Incident response procedure development and training.
About This Project
The cybersecurity program provides support and protection to the City of Carlsbad so it ca n successfully accomplish its mission. As the threat landscape is changing and getting more sophisticated in lockstep with advances in technology, we need to ensure the city’s cybersecurity program is robust enough to keep threat actors from causing harm to the city.
To ensure we address the different areas and aspects of cybersecurity, city staff have developed and adopted an approach based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework to cybersecurity defense program which covers five functions:
• Identify – Develop the organizational understanding to manage cybersecurity risk to systems, assets, data and capabilities. The activities in the Identify function are foundational for effective use of the Framework. Understanding the business context, the resources that support critical functions, and the related cybersecurity risks enables an organization to focus and prioritize its efforts, consistent with its risk management strategy and business needs. Examples of outcome categories within this function include Asset Management, Business Environment, Governance, Risk Assessment and Risk Management Strategy.

• Protect – Develop and implement the appropriate safeguards to ensure delivery of critical infrastructure services. The Protect function supports the ability to limit or contain the impact of a potential cybersecurity event. Examples of outcome categories within this function include Access Control, Awareness and Training, Data Security, Information Protection Processes and Procedures, Maintenance, and Protective Technology. • Detect – Develop and implement the appropriate activities to identify the occurrence of a cybersecurity event. The Detect function enables timely discovery of cybersecurity events.
Examples of outcome categories within this function include Anomalies and Events, Security Continuous Monitoring, and Detection Processes.
• Respond – Develop and implement the appropriate activities to act regarding a detected cybersecurity event. The Respond function supports the ability to contain the impact of a potential cybersecurity event. Examples of outcome categories within this function include Response Planning, Communications, Analysis, Mitigation and Improvements. • Recover – Develop and implement the appropriate activities to maintain plans for resilience and to restore any capabilities or services that were impaired due to a cybersecurity event.
The Recover function supports timely recovery to normal operations to reduce the impact from a cybersecurity event. Examples of outcome categories within this function include Recovery Planning, Improvements and Communications.
At this time and depending on the types of programs implemented over the course of the project, city staff cannot feasibly determine any operational or replacement costs for fiscal year 2024-25 and beyond. For fiscal year 2023-24 an additional $132,000 has been request as part of the budget process for on-going Varonis security services.

Payment Works
Project Benefits
The current process for enrolling a vendor to receive electronic payments involves the completion of a paper form. Staff must then manually validate the information and enter the vendor’s information into the city’s financial application. Additionally, if the city receives a request to change a vendor’s banking information, there is not an automated process to validate the accuracy and legitimacy of the information which puts the city at risk for attempted fraud.
About This Project
This project involves the impl ementation of the Payment Works solution to digitally onboard vendors, validate that vendor information is valid and legitimate and provides a mechanism for vendors to request updates to their payment information that is secure and verified. This will eliminate paper forms which supports the city’s sustainability goals, significantly improves business processes, and reduces the risk of fraud.
After initial implementation, staff estimate operational costs to increase by $ 54,000 st arting in fiscal year 2024-25. There is no replacement cost associated with this project.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The City of Carlsbad Capital Improvement Program reflects the city’s ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest standards of quality facilities for our community today and in the future. It is a planning document, not a commitment for spending. The 15-year program outlines the expenditure plan for future capital projects and the corresponding revenues to pay for those expenditures.
Projects that are shown in the CIP are generally defined as any construction, rehabilitation or replacement of major infrastructure such as streets, libraries, parks, fire stations and administrative facilities, water, sewer and drainage facilities, and other facilities that are located on or in the ground.
In most cases, the total construction cost of each of these assets is recorded and tracked as part of the city’s inventory of capital infrastructure assets and other city-owned property.
Once the City Council adopts the proposed annual CIP budget, projects receive an appropriation that authorizes spending in the amount specified for the adopted fiscal year only. Estimated budget information is shown for a 15-year period to provide the most comprehensive information about known future projects. Spending authority in future years is not granted until adoption of the annual proposed CIP budget associated with each year.
The CIP is organized by the following project classifications:

Investing in our quality of life
The City of Carlsbad’s philosophy is to take a proactive, long-range planning approach to building high quality facilities and infrastructure that support the needs and priorities of the community. Prudent financial planning has ensured ongoing funding to modernize, repair, and replace existing infrastructure projects through numerous asset management programs. Since the city applies a comprehensive asset management approach to infrastructure planning and budgeting it is able to avoid more costly unexpected repairs or operational needs and minimize the burden on emergency expenditures.
As the city continues to grow and develop, there
is a corresponding increase in the demand for
development-related services and new facilities.
To ensure that the necessary infrastructure and
facilities are built on a schedule that meets or
exceeds this demand, the citizens of Carlsbad
adopted a Growth Management Plan in 1986.
The plan was established to manage
development within the city by linking
residential, commercial, and industrial
development directly to standards for availability
of public services and facilities.
The Growth Management Plan states that unless
a standard level of facilities is available to meet new demands resulting from the city’s growth, development cannot proceed. Recently, certain actions, such as imposing a moratorium, have been determined to be impermissible by the California Housing and Community Development Department, per Senate Bill 330, Housing Crisis Act of 2019, which became effective on Jan. 1, 2020.
The detailed level of planning required by Growth Management has allowed the city’s CIP to anticipate the funding needed for capital improvements in the next 15 years. Facilities such as community centers, parks and fire stations have been constructed and opened to the public under this program.
The CIP has been designed to specifically address areas where new or expanded facilities will be needed to maintain compliance with the adopted performance standards. With the adoption of the fiscal year 2023-24 CIP, compliance with the Growth Management Plan is continued.
In October 2022, City Council approved a five-year strategic plan with policy goals to reflect the most important priorities of the community. The CIP budget includes the priority construction projects identified the strategic plan.
Project evaluation
Development of the CIP is a team effort involving all operational departments, the City Manager’s Office, the City Council, and the community. Community feedback on infrastructure needs is considered and incorporated as appropriate. The CIP is fully vetted at multiple levels of the city organization by appropriate staff using an inclusive and transparent process and reviewed on a quarterly basis.
May 23, 2023
Item #9 Page 227 of 384 2023-24 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM I-3
Projects were evaluated for the ability
to deliver realistic outcomes
considering anticipated revenue
decreases in some capital funding
sources. The city remains focused on
matching existing resources with
reasonable and achievable project
schedules while continuing to work on
projects that are already underway.
Existing project balances were
evaluated to determine whether
additional funding was needed or if
the existing balances were adequate.
Funding recommendations were
matched against project timing and
balanced against available funding
sources.
As the CIP is implemented throughout the year, staff continually re-evaluate projects’ scopes, costs and schedules to responsibly and cost-effectively manage infrastructure assets at the required levels of service throughout their lifecycle. Recommendations for project funding consider current project status, project scheduling and sequencing requirements, project constraints, and current staff capacity. Project charters are updated to include project description, location, summary of need, justification including any legislative or policy citations, cost estimates, an d project scores.
Fiscal year 2023-24 appropriations by category
In the fiscal year 2023-24 CIP, there are approximately 227 continuing and new projects planned over the next 15 years. The fiscal year 2023-24 CIP outlines $97.7 million in new appropriations to provide additional funding for the continuation of existing projects as well as funding for 5 new projects.
Projected revenues during the same fiscal year are estimated at $95.9 million.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM REVENUES
Over the next 15 years, revenues for capital projects are estimated at $818.8 million and are segregated into six major funding sources: (1) fees generated by development in the City of Carlsbad, (2) special district fees and taxes from the community facilities districts and bridge and thoroughfare benefit districts, (3) water and wastewater replacement funds, (4) infrastructure replacement funds other than wastewater and water, (5) general capital construction funds, and (6) other sources, including grants, sales taxes and contributions from other agencies.
Approximately 14.4% of all capital revenue is received as a result of development, including developer fees and financing districts in the chart above, and is dependent upon assumptions made about the city's annual growth in dwelling units and commercial and industrial square feet. These revenues include Public Facilities Fees, Traffic Impact Fees, Park-In-Lieu Fees, Planned Local Drainage Fees, Water Connection Fees, Sewer Connection charges, and community facilities districts and bridge and thoroughfare benefit districts fees.
Water and wastewater replacement revenues generated by user fees equal approximately 36. 2% of total revenues and are used to pay for replacement of existing water and sewer facilities.
Infrastructure Replacement and General Capital Construction revenues, equal to 18.2%, are transfers from the city’s General Fund, which are being set aside to pay for re placement of major capital facilities other than wastewater and water facilities and the construction of various municipal projects. The remaining 28.1% consists of revenues from other agencies and include federal and state grants, the county sales tax program TransNet, gas taxes, and contributions or reimbursements from cities, developers, and other agencies.

FUTURE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
As shown on the graph on the previous page, there are a variety of revenues that are used to fund the capital projects. In order to estimate revenues to be received from development, several assumptions about the rate and type of future development are made. These assumptions can change from year to year and tend to correlate with the current economic climate.
Every year, city staff evaluates all existing and future private development projects and compares this information to the capacity of the city using the most current adopted general plans. Information about existing development activity combined with estimates of how remaining net developable land might develop is then summarized to prepare future projections about when and where residential and non-residential development may occur. The following table shows the number of residential units and non-residential square feet of development that was used in calculating estimated revenues for fiscal year 2023-24 and subsequent years to build out.
Projected Future Development
Financial forecasting schedules are prepared to ensure that funding will be sufficient and available for construction of capital projects as planned in the CIP. In addition to evaluating whether or not capital funds are sufficient, significant operating cost impacts and availability of staff resources are also considered in evaluating the timing of projects. Where funding discrepancies occur, alternative financing methods and project timing are evaluated, and recommendations are made to resolve the discrepancies.
Conservatively, about 3,087 residential units are anticipated for future development, and it is currently estimated that the city is more than 90% built out. Residential development for fiscal year 2023-24 is projected at 616 units, and, over the next five years, should average 262 units per year.
The amount of non-residential development is projected at about 409,000 square feet over the next five years.
Projects include several multi-family residential developments, commercial industrial, office and other mixed-use projects. Development estimates provide data for estimating future fee revenues, which are calculated by multiplying each applicable development fee by the estimated number of dwelling units and/or square feet of construction expected during each year.

CALCULATION OF FUTURE FEES
The revenue projections in the CIP reflect the growth assumptions identified in the previous section.
The following information delineates how those assumptions were applied to estimate future development revenues. The mix of future multi-family and single-family residential units is assumed to be 80% and 20%, respectively, and reflects the anticipated mix of residential development for each Local Facilities Management Zone.
To calculate estimated revenues for Traffic Impact Fees, the number of average da ily trips was computed for each type of development use. An attached multi-family residential dwelling unit is assigned either eight or six trips and a detached single-family unit is assigned 10 trips per day. The trips-per-day value for commercial and industrial buildings are 40 and eight trips per 1,000 square feet of development, respectively, although the actual volume of trips generated by commercial and industrial buildings can vary widely depending on the ultimate land use.
CFD No. 1 is a citywide district established to finance various civic facilities required under the city’s Growth Management Plan. Park-in-Lieu Fees are collected for the purchase and development of parkland within each quadrant of the city, and the fees are based on the acquisit ion cost of parkland.
Projects in the CIP funded with Park-in-Lieu Fees include future park site acquisition, development and restoration. Bridge and thoroughfare fee districts or BTDs are formed by property owners to finance specific road construction projects located within the district boundaries. BTD No. 2 Poinsettia Lane/Aviara Parkway was formed to finance the construction of Poinsettia Lane between Aviara Parkway and El Camino Real and Aviara Parkway between Palomar Airport Road and Poinsettia Lane.
UNFUNDED PROJECTS
There are six projects identified in the CIP for which there is no identifiable funding source and, in some cases, where only partial funding has been identified. The city will investigate obtaining possible external funding, such as federal and state grants, loans, or other financing sources. Once funding is identified for these projects, the project costs will have to be reviewed and updated to reflect actual cost estimates. The unfunded projects do not receive annual inflationary inc reases. Two projects are partially funded by the Traffic Impact Fee program. The program was planned to generate enough revenue to pay for 20% of the total costs of these projects, leaving the remaining 80% unfunded.
