ITEM TITLE
Financial Report and Appropriation: Accept the Quarterly Financial Report for the Quarter Ending March 31, 2024 (Third Quarter Report) and Appropriate Funds to Implement Required Budget Adjustments Report Number: 24-0179
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: Finance
G.C. § 84308: No
Environmental Notice : The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) State Guidelines. Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the activity is exempt pursuant to Title 24, Part 58.34(a)(2)&(3) of the Code of Federal Regulations and pursuant to the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development Environmental Guidelines.

Recommended Action
Accept the quarterly financial report for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 (the “Third Quarter Report”) and adopt a resolution making various amendments to the fiscal year 2023-24 budget to adjust for variances and appropriating funds for that purpose. (4/5 Vote Required)

SUMMARY
The Finance Department, in collaboration with other City departments, prepares quarterly financial reports for the General Fund that reflect budget to actual comparisons, projected revenues and expenditures, and highlight major variances that may require a dditional action or changes. This Third Quarter Report is as of March 31, 2024 and is in compliance with Section 505(f) of the City Charter, which requires that quarterly financial reports be filed by the Director of Finance through the City Manager.

In preparing the Third Quarter Report, staff has identified various budget ary changes that are needed to accurately reflect actual revenues and expenditures or address changes in budgetary needs. For government entities, a budget creates a legal framework for spending during the fiscal year. After the budget is approved by the City Council, there are circumstances which arise that could require adjustments to the approved budget. Council Policy 220 -02 “Financial Reporting and Transfer Authority” was established in January of P a g e | 2
1996 and amended November of 2022, and allows for budget transfers and adjustments to be completed.

Budget transfers and adjustments processed pursuant to this authority are provided as Attachments 1 and 2 to this report. This Third Quarter Report discusses budget adjustments that staff recommends in the General Fund as well as various other funds to address identified fiscal issues.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for comp liance with CEQA and NEPA. The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity which does not result in a physical change in the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Under NEPA, the activity is exempt pursuant to Title 24, Part

58.34(a)(2)&(3) of the Code of Federal Regulations and pursuant to the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development Environmental Guidelines. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary at this time.

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.

DISCUSSION
The Third Quarter Report is developed using nine months of actual financial activity for fiscal year 2023-24 as of March 31, 2024. Additionally, data in this report has been updated to include the most current data available through May 31, 2024; however, the projections are subject to change.

This report provides summary information for the following areas:
 General Fund Revenues and Expenditures
 Adjustments to General Fund Expenditures
 Adjustments to non-General Fund funds

The Finance Department will continue to monitor the City’s actual revenues and expenditures and will provide any significant changes in the Fourth Quarter Financial Report.

General Fund Overview
Revenues are projected to exceed budget by $22.0 million, and expenditures are projected to surpass budget targets by $22.0 million. Staff anticipates major discretionary revenues and departmental revenues to come in higher than the amended budget as detailed in the General Fund Revenues section. Economic growth slows as inflation remains below its peak and unemployment rates increase . Several other variables such as interest rates and other financial uncertainties may affect the General Fund revenues and expenditures. Staff will continue to monitor and will provi de updates in a final review of fiscal year 2023 -24 with the Fourth Quarter Financial Report.

General Fund Revenues
As shown in Table 1 above, the City’s revenues are projected to exceed the amended budget by approximately $22.0 million. This is a combination of Major Discretionary Revenues and O ther General Fund Revenues which are projected to exceed the amended budget by $1.4 million and $20.6 million respectively.

Major Discretionary Revenues
Sales Tax revenue is trending higher than anticipated and is exp ected to exceed budget by $0. 7 million.

Measure A and Measure P Sales Tax are anticipated to exceed budget by $0. 9 million each, for a combined total of $1.8 million. Based on the latest information from HDL, the City’s sales tax consultant, the additional Sales Tax revenue continues to be parti ally driven by construction material sales associated with the Bayfront development. These positive variances in major discretionary revenues are partially offset by shortfalls in Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT) and Utility Users Tax (UUT), which are projected to come in approximately $1.1 and $0.7 million under budget, respectively.

Other General Fund Revenues
These revenues are projected to exceed the amended budget by $ 20.6 million, primarily due to an increase in the Transfers In category from ARPA ($19.4 million). This transfer is discussed in detail below in the American Rescue Plan Act section of this report.

General Fund Expenditures
As shown in Table 1, expenditures are anticipated to exceed the amended budget by $22.0 million. This includes a projected increase in the Transfer Out category of $21.3 million . This is primarily due to an increase in transfers out to the Capital Improvement Projects fund ($18.6 million), the Development Services fund ($0.8 million), and the Measure A and Measure P Sales Tax revenue funds. The recommended increase to General Fund expenditure appropriations is $22.6 million, which is anticipated to be fully offset by Major Discretionary revenues made available from the use of ARPA funding to support labor expenditures across various departments. Staff will be closely monitoring expenditures and revenues and provide an update on the status via the Fourth Quarter Financial Report.

Departmental Revenues and Expenditures

The largest variances in Departmental Revenues are projected to occur in the Non-Departmental, Parks and Recreation, Public Works, Finance , and Library departments. The Non -Departmental positive variance of $23.0 million is due to Sales Tax, Measure A and Measure P Sales Tax which are projected to come in above budget as well as additional transfers out that are anticipated to be made to the CIP Fund and Development Services Fund. The Fire Department’s positive va riance of $1.3 million is due to program reimbursements for the City’s Fire Department Strike Team activity and an increase in reimbursements from the San Diego Unified Port District for Fire services, pursuant to the Municipal Services Agreement between the agencies.

Additionally, there is an expected decrease in departmental revenues, most notably in the Engineering & Capital Projects Department ($1.5 million), Public Works Department ($0.5 million) and Finance Department ($0.4 million) primarily driven by a decrease in anticipated revenue recovery for staff time reimbursements.

Staff time reimbursement shortfalls in Engineering & Capital Projects and Public Works are largely caused by staffing vacancies and therefore offset by personnel expenditure savings.

Departmental Expenditures are expected to exceed budget in various departments.

The following are explanations of the significant variances between budgeted and projected expenditures:
 The Police Department reflects a negative variance of $ 2.8 million which is driven by an increase in overtime costs tied to staffing vacancies and operational needs.  The Non-Departmental negative variance of $ 21.4 million is primarily due to the Transfer Out for both Measure A and Measure P Sales Tax Funds combined, based on updated Measure A and Measure P Sales Tax projections and additional transfers to the CIP and Development Services Fund.  The Engineering/Capital Projects Department’s pos itive variance of $1. 1 million is driven by department vacancies resulting in anticipated salary savings. Some of these vacancies are expected to result in a reduction of current services revenue.
 The Fire Department’s negative variance of $0.6 million is expected to be completely offset by reimbursements from Strike Team deployments.

Fiscal Year 2023-24 Budget Adjustments
Staff recommends various adjustments, appropriations, and transfers to City Departmental and Fund budgets that require City Council authorization.

General Fund Adjustments
In the General Fund, some of the transfers are between expense categories within the same Department and some transfers are between Departments. There are also proposed budget adjustments reflecting increased estimated revenue where it is needed to address unanticipated expenditure category overages and ensure accurate year-end reporting. The recommended budget adjustments are shown in Table 4 below.

American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)
The City of Chula Vista received a total of $57.5 million in ARPA funds, which were appropriated by the City Council with the initial Spending P lan presented on August 24, 2021. Subsequent to the initial 2021 allocation, various Spending Plan amendments have been approved by City Council as critical needs fluctuated throughout the response to the pandemic and various updates to the related guidance were received from the U.S. Department of Treasury (the “Treasury Department”).

An eligible use of ARPA funding is the replacement of revenue loss of local governments due to the COVID - 19 public health emergency. This use ensures continuity of vital government services by filling pandemic - caused budget shortfalls. Importantly, once a shortfall in revenue is identified, recipients have broad latitude to use this funding to support government services, up to the amount of revenue lost. As of April 2023, the City's revenue loss eligible for funding exceeds the total ARPA funds awarded to the City . This allows the entirety of the allocated funds to be utilized for revenue recovery purposes. This presents an opportunity to redirect previously allocated funds from other enumerated ARPA expenditure categories as well as other subsections within the City’s Revenue Recovery category of the ARPA spending plan, to be directed to the General Governmental Services provision of the Revenue Recovery expenditure category. This allocation will cover a range of expenses typically supported by the General Fund, including public sector wages.

Furthermore, such reallocation aligns with the flexibility granted to ARPA fund recipients and streamlines reporting obligations, guarantees resource efficiency, and addresses ARPA spending deadlines.

As illustrated in the preceding Table 6, staff proposes to reallocate $2.6 million that has been fully expended on the Small Business Grants from the Economic Development category to the Revenue Recovery category , to allow for streamlined reporting obligations. These funds have been fully spent and this change will result in no changes to the program . Additionally, staff is recommending reallocating the unspent monies in the Choose Chula project to the Revenue Recovery category to allow these funds to be spent on core services across all areas of the City , whic h includes Police and Fire services; parks and recreation; libraries; and support services like Finance and Human Resources.

As shown in Table 7 above, staff proposes the reallocation of $13.6 million within the Revenue Replacement expenditure category to the General Governmental Services provision of Operational Support, designated for revenue loss replacement, for use toward expenses traditionally sustained by general fund revenue. This strategy aligns seamlessly with the wide discretion afforded to ARPA fund recipients to bolster government services in response to pandemic -induced revenue declines. The Treasury Department has encouraged recipients to adhere to existing budget procedures, minimizing administrative complexities. Leveraging the Revenue Recovery Category promises enhanced flexibility, coupled with simplified reporting protocols, streamlining the reporting process. The reallocated funds will be used to support General Fund labor expenses of various City departments which include Police and Fire services, parks and recreation, libraries, as well as support services like Finance and Human Resources.

Conclusion
Staff’s proposed reallocation of ARPA funds adheres to all allowable uses outlined in the final rule issued by the Treasury Department. The proposed reallocation was strategically created to reduce the effort to provide ongoing reporting of expenditures to the Treasury; provide the City greater flexibility in how to allocate the Revenue Recovery funds to projects and programs that are essential to our community; and ensure funds are fully utilized by the program deadline. In summary, the City of Chula Vista is strategically utilizing ARPA funds to address critical needs of the City . The City strives to promote equity in all areas of servi ce, ARPA funds will be used to provide governmental services across all General Fund departments and will therefore support all areas of the City.

DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).

Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
