CITY MANAGER'S MESSAGE
Damien O'Bid - City Manager
June 25, 2024
Mayor, Councilmembers, Residents, Community Organizations and Business Owners, Attached is the City of Cotati’s Fiscal Year 2024/25 budget. The budget is the primary policy document adopted by the City Council each year. This budget is developed in accordance with the City’s financial management policies and guidelines and reflects the City Council’s goals and objectives and how resources are allocated to achieve these goals. In addition, the budget serves as the annual financial plan, an operational guide, and a communication tool.
The Fiscal Year 2024/25 General Fund budget was prepared using a conservative approach on operations, while continuing to push hard to reduce deferred maintenance and improve the community through capital projects. This budget focuses on providing excellent core City services and continuing the aggressive push to reduce medium and long-term costs through pension funding strategies and infrastructure repair. In Fiscal Year 2023/24, the City Council continued heavy investment in the road system to reduce future maintenance costs and continued design work for major renovations of City Parks. Long term risk continues to be operating costs outpacing revenue growth and displacing the capacity for infrastructure repair and maintenance. Therefore, in this budget, the City continues to strategically fund projects that lower future costs (roads), improve the quality of life (parks), reduce future pension costs and promote economic development that will provide residents with jobs and services and the City with future revenue growth to stay ahead of continuing cost pressures. This is all intended to ensure that the City can continue to provide excellent services and infrastructure.
In preparing departmental budgets for the new fiscal year, department directors were instructed to analyze their department expenditures for potential savings with the goal of keeping operational expenses flat. Each department went through a detailed budget review focusing on the Council’s goals and priorities and evaluating departmental needs assessments. However, we are continuing to experience increased operating costs, including large increases in insurance costs across the cities that we pool risk with. We need to stay cognizant of those trends, remain fiscally prudent, and make selective and pragmatic decisions through this budget year.
Finally, this budget continues to move forward on City Council initiatives and priorities. The City Council has clearly communicated the need for many years to maintain core City services and invest heavily in repairing and maintaining our infrastructure. With the housing affordability crisis in the State, the City Council has been focused on housing development across income levels, as well as implementing equity in hiring, greater transparency in policing, and polices to mitigate and adapt to the continuing effects of climate change.
Highlights of the Fiscal Year 2024/25 budget include:
Strategic focus on economic development to ensure the long-term vitality of the City.
Improving core services while striving to expand services with increased efficiencies.
Meeting or exceeding the General Fund reserve policy target of 25%.
Meeting or exceeding the Enterprise Fund (Water & Sewer) reserve policy target of 33%. In particular, the sewer operations fund will be carefully evaluated for additional actions that may be necessary to stabilize this fund.
Significant investments in improving our streets and parks.
Additional discretionary pension payment to CalPERS to avoid future compounded interest costs.
Continued development of policy for new housing development across a range of income levels.
City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 5 Continuing to look for opportunities to promote equity, transparency in policing and measures to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
We have presented a balanced budget in conformance with California State legislation (California Constitution Section 18 of Article XVI) that requires anticipated revenues plus any use of fund balance to not exceed appropriations for expenditures. The goals, objectives, long-term planning, and departmental needs have guided the City staff in their recommendations for the Fiscal Year 2024/25 budget.
Sincerely,
Damien O’Bid
City Manager

A HISTORY OF COTATI
Dedication - most of the photos and information provided within this Historical Perspective were made possible by contributions by Lloyd and Prue Draper. Lloyd and Prue worked to create a comprehensive archive to preserve the history of Cotati for future generations. Thank you to the Cotati Historical Society for providing this perspective. 19th CENTURY
Long before the Europeans came to California; the fertile valley had been the home of Coastal Miwoks, a clan of Native Americans who lived well on the nuts, grains and tubers, berries, fish and game that abounded in this temperate climate.
The Indian name of their village, Kota'ti, produced the legend of Chief Cotati, whose visage is featured in the City's logo.
In 1837, the Mexican government established a system of land grants, including the 17,234-acre Rancho Cotate, which encompassed what is now Cotati, Rohnert Park and Penngrove. At that time, the Sonoma County region marked the northernmost frontier of Mexican territory. The Mexican government was anxious to establish its hold on the area, since it was being eyed for takeover by several nations. In 1846, the Bear Flag Rebellion, which led to the takeover of the Sonoma Fort, succeeded in displacing the Mexican domination of the region and the loss of the original papers deeding the Rancho Cotate.
Dr. Thomas Stokes Page
Dr. Thomas Page purchased the Rancho in 1849, receiving a clear title seven years later, since the original deed had been lost. Dr. Page and his family continued to occupy the lands from 1849-1929, and left an indelible imprint on the very shape of the town. Dr. Page and most of the family members actually spent very little time living on the ranch. Two of the seven Page sons developed the land into a cattle and sheep concern, and until the early 1890's it remained largely unchanged.
Page Ranch - Hexagonal Barn
By 1895, the county road was built between Santa Rosa and Petaluma, passing directly through the hexagonally laid-out heart of the new town. In 1909, this road would be incorporated into what was then called California Route One, running from San Francisco to Crescent City. It was this road, along with the train station, which opened up the new town of Cotati as a convenient place to stop for travelers. The construction of the center of the town in the hexagonal motif allowed the Page family to name each of the six peripheral streets after one of the seven Page sons. Wilfred, who supervised the project, named a train station and another street to the north after himself.
The exact source of the design for the city center remains a mystery, but there are at least two very good possibilities.
First is that it was patterned after the hexagonal barn at the Page ranch, which in turn may have been built along lines that were in fashion at the time of its construction. Another possibility is that it was fashioned after the radiating star plan which is prevalent in the layout of many European cities, as well as Washington, D.C. and Detroit, Michigan. Whatever the reason for its design, it was deemed unique enough to gain State Historical Landmark status in 1973.
City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 7 EARLY 20th CENTURY
By the turn of the century, many parcels of Cotati land had been sold as small farms. The freight transportation offered by the railroad through town, the development of the new county road, and the sudden need for businesses serving a growing agricultural community, all combined to make Cotati something of a boom town. During the first decade of the century, churches, schools, meeting halls and homes by the score were built. By 1911, the town could boast that a thousand people had celebrated the Fourth of July there. Around the Plaza, businesses sprang up, including the Cotati Hotel. The November 1911 edition of The Northern Crown, a Petaluma journal, extolled the virtues of Cotati and its publicspirited inhabitants. The citizens of Cotati built and maintained their own public parks, built churches, schools and meeting halls. The trees they planted still stand.
Cotati Hotel
During the 20's, Cotatians had banded together to fight their own fires or else relied on the Santa Rosa department. The combination of high winds and tinder-dry summertime grasses helped to make parts of Cotati subject to frequent grass- fires. In an area where everyone knew, or knew of everyone else, it was natural to join together in saving one another's property and, in some cases, lives. By 1927, the number of structures and the size of the area needing fire protection necessitated the organization of the Cotati Volunteer Fire Department.
Cotati Volunteer Fire Dept.
During the 30's and 40's, agriculture continued as the most important influence in the Cotati Valley, and the town changed more slowly. In the 40's and 50's, small family farms were having a hard time surviving, and some of Cotati's agricultural lands began to develop as residential and commercial areas. The opening of the 101 freeway in the mid-1950's made it feasible for San Francisco workers to commute to homes in Cotati.
BIRTH OF A CITY
"Incorporation will preserve the unity and pride of Cotati as well as its individuality." That was the heading on handbills urging voters to turn out at the polls on July 2, 1963.
The Cotatian Newspaper – Thursday July 4 1963
The town had developed by fits and starts since the turn of the century, and by the end of the 50's had become a closeknit community that clung fiercely to its claim of being "the Hub of Sonoma County." The Cotati Chamber of Commerce was well known throughout the NorthBay Area for its vigor and enthusiasm. It had led a successful fight to get state approval of a local site for the new state college. The little town was proud to have its own water and sewer system and its top rated fire department. It seemed destined to continue its pattern of gradual growth, well insulated by green pastures from its metropolitan neighbors.
City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 8 By the fall of 1961, citizens of semi-rural Cotati and infant Rohnert Park, discontented with the level of services provided by the county, were exploring the possibility of merging their interests and incorporating as one city. A joint citizens' committee was formed, and a municipal expert, William Zion, was hired to conduct a feasibility study. By January 1962, however, a contingent in Rohnert Park had decided that a combined city wasn't to their liking, and filed notice of their intention to incorporate independently.
The election was held on August 21, 1962, and incorporation was approved. Rohnert Park was the name favored by 398 voters, while 128 diehards, still hoping that the neighboring communities might someday merge, voted to name the city "Cotati Park."
Cotatians, having studied incorporation, realized that incorporated cities had jurisdiction over development adjacent to their boundaries. It seemed inevitable that the new City of Rohnert Park would seek to extend its boundaries to take in the parts of Cotati that it found most desirable, gradually eradicating the close-knit pride-filled "Hub of Sonoma County." Facing the fact that one week after Rohnert Park's election the new city would become official, Cotati citizens swung into high gear. A citizens' committee spearheaded by Lloyd Draper, publisher of the Cotatian weekly newspaper, Dr. Bill Kortum, president of the Chamber of Commerce; real estate broker Joe Dorfman and county tax appraiser Sam Houser began gathering signatures on a petition stating Cotati's intention to form its own city.
On August 27, one day before Rohnert Park was to be officially declared a city, the Cotati committee filed its notice of intention to circulate incorporation petitions. Boundaries of the proposed city were roughly the same as the Cotati Public Utility District. Thirty-seven citizens signed the petition which Draper presented to the Board of Supervisors, stating that incorporation "seemed necessary to retain the character of the town, preserve its name and guide its future growth." The citizens agreed, and on July 2, 1963, 83.9% of the registered voters, a total of 331, went to the polls and approved incorporation by an 84% majority - 284 yes to 49 no.
Candidates for the first City Council were Oliver Chadwick, Al Falletti, Harold Groom, Bernhard Grutgen, Sam Houser, Bud Howard, Tom Murphy, Stanley Olsson, Lyle Short, Russ Williams and Herb Winter. Top vote getter was Houser, who was subsequently chosen as Cotati's first mayor. Also winning seats on the first council were Olsson, Chadwick, Groom and Falletti, the latter two also continuing as directors of the Cotati Public Utility District.
A week after the election, Cotati was certified as Sonoma County's newest city. The City Council began conducting its business in the anteroom of Ed Lewitter's accounting office while hosting public meetings at the fire station.
One of the Council's first actions, on August 1, was to refuse salaries, stating that Cotati had been planned as a low-budget city with volunteer workers, and the councilmen were sticking by their plans. "None of us wanted public office," Mayor Houser told a newspaper reporter. "We just wanted to keep Cotati the way it was."
THE SIXTIES
The year 1968 saw the birth of the counterculture influence on Cotati. The Inn of the Beginning came alive and brought nationally and internationally recognized musicians to Sonoma County. The major forms of music played were rhythm and blues, rock and roll, country and western, and folk.
The Inn of the Beginning
Hotbeds of Dissent
Coffeehouses have played a significant role as gathering places for the "Cotati counterculture" since the 70's. The Last Great Hiding Place was popular in the mid-70's, with couches and armchairs in front and a theater in back. Many significant dramatic events and much political planning took place here.
When the Hiding Place closed, coffeehouse habitues found a new, if somewhat isolated, home at the Cotati Donut Shop in the Rancho Cotate Shopping Center.
City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 9 Soon after the Cotati Donut Shop closed, Lindy's New and Delicious opened, and the caffeine faithful flocked in, glad to be back in the central part of town and grateful for the couch, the art on the walls - and especially the typewriter.
The Freestore
The Freestore was a large shed from which many Cotati citizens outfitted themselves without charge. Vito Paulekas and others constantly organized the steady flow of cast-off clothes, shoes and accessories that were left there, creating a treasure trove of "finds" for indigent browsers. The "store" burned down and was rebuilt, vandalized and cleaned up again, surviving until 1983 when it was crushed flat by a semi-truck. Its influence was great on that peculiar style of dress known as the "Cotati look."
The Free Store
Cotati Company No. 2
In 1969, Irving and Irene Lipton closed their downtown variety store, and Brad and Liza Loop leased the building, delving into local history for its name: Cotati Company No. 2. They rented space as small as 12 square feet for as little as $10 a month to youthful entrepreneurs.
People built booths, clothes racks, or whatever they wanted, and went into business selling everything from comic books and rolling papers to candles, jewelry and clothing. The enterprise bustled along with ten or more merchants under one roof for almost two years until a fire closed it down.
The Bandstand and the Rebirth of La Plaza Park
Vito Paulekas and Karl Franzoni were threatened with arrest while building the bandstand in the Plaza - an "illegal structure" not sanctioned by the City - but they prevailed, and the bandstand, born to controversy, began its stormy life.
It immediately became the center for new energy in town. Large crowds began to gather on weekends, lured by free electrified rock 'n' roll. City Council meetings played hosts to two disparate factions: one wanted more music, facilities, sandboxes for the kids, the other demanded user fees, permits, an end to amplified music.
Picnic tables, benches and swings were built and installed by concerned citizens - often for free - and gradually La Plaza Park became the comfortable gathering place it is today.
The George and Arthur Streets Barricade
Residents of George and Arthur Streets by 1978 had had enough of the 3,000-plus cars per day which were using their residential neighborhood as a high-speed shortcut. They organized and descended upon the City Council, convincing them to block Arthur Street at East Cotati Avenue, stopping through traffic.
Many people who didn't live in the neighborhood took strong exception to the street closure, and a long, fierce battle began. The barricade became a major political issue, and source of battles before the Council, Planning Commission and in the courts. Finally, in June, 1983, the City Council took the final legal step to declare the barricade permanent.
The George-Arthur Streets neighborhood has changed dramatically since the barricade was installed. Children now abound, and the streets with their open ditches, free-form parking and sparse, slow-moving traffic, are reminiscent of a quieter Cotati of years ago.
Sonoma State University
Sonoma State University, located just outside Cotati's city limits, has played a significant role in the City's history since it moved onto its 220 acre East Cotati Avenue campus in 1966. Originally a state college, Sonoma State was granted university status in 1978. Having a major university nearby is certainly a cultural asset, but there has never been a shortage of culture in Cotati.
COTATI TODAY
City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 10 For the past two decades, Sonoma County has been growing at a rapid pace, welcoming vast numbers of new residents to the area. Many of these transplants have moved to the area in an effort to escape the crowded city life of the larger Bay Area cities to the south such as San Francisco and San Jose. In 1990, the citizens of Cotati overwhelmingly voted to curtail the growth of the city by forbidding any annexation of land beyond a fixed urban boundary line. This highly popular selfimposed limit on annexation turned the focus on development inwards.
This rapid growth has provided a significant challenge to the City and to the preservation of its unique charm as a modern residential-focused community with strong historical roots in agriculture and music. Managing this growth has become one of the prominent issues facing the City. While many feared that too much growth would spoil the city's small town character, others felt that too little growth would cause more and more city residents to leave Cotati to shop at neighboring City shopping centers in Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park and Petaluma. They feared that this would cause the city's share of the sales tax revenue to wither, leaving the city unable to provide adequate city services. However, with the growth of a few key businesses that draw customers from those same neighboring cities plus the growth of online sales and the voter approved 1% sales tax, this concern has flipped to stabilizing revenues with more revenue diversification with economic development.
The City continues to work to enhance the downtown area, such as the new Information Kiosks for both locals and tourists, and to encourage business development. The City also has worked towards significant developments outside the downtown, including a successful industrial section and on a plan for mixed residential and commercial use developments on E. Cotati Avenue by the SMART train station. The City has also recently added Wayfinding Signage to enhance pedestrian and cycling routes, and is continuing development on the Gateway Project at the approach to the City on Highway 116.
The City is home to the Cotati Music Festival each June, the annual Kid's Day Parade and the internationally renowned Cotati Accordion Festival in late August.

City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 22 Fund Descriptions and Structure
The operating budget document includes City-wide information as well as information specific to each fund and each department. The City receives revenue from numerous sources, many of which have restrictions on how they can be used. Separate funds are established to account for the different types of revenues and the allowable uses of those revenues. The annual budget information is available after the publication of the annual Adopted Budget.
Accounting Basis
Governmental funds, such as the General Fund, are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, revenues are considered available if they are expected to be collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Proprietary funds, such as the Water and Sewer Enterprise Funds, distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with the proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City's enterprise funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for the enterprise funds include the costs of providing services, administration costs and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.
Fiduciary funds, such as the Successor Agency Fund, track assets held by the City in trust which are presented using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Economic resources measurement focus is a method of financial reporting where statements report all inflows, outflows, and balances affecting or reflecting an entity's net position including all assets that are available to the entity, not just cash or soon to be cash assets.
City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 23 Descriptions & Structure of City Funds
General Fund
One of the most commonly heard terms in municipal budget discussions is the General Fund. The General Fund is the largest fund that the City of Cotati maintains. The two major revenue sources for the General Fund are Sales Tax, and to a lesser degree, Property Tax. These revenue sources are dependent on the economic environment and can fluctuate from year to year.
Sales Tax - Cities and counties administered local sales tax ordinances with varying tax rates and exemptions until 1955 when the California Legislature passed the Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law. This law laid the groundwork for a sales tax system that authorizes the State Board of Equalization to collect all sales and use taxes and distribute 1% of the sales tax to cities and counties. In November 2020, Cotati voters also approved Measure S, a 1% transactions and use tax. With Measure S, the total sales tax rate in the city of Cotati is 9.50%.
Therefore, the city receives a total of 2% of the 9.50% in sales tax, with Bradley Burns and Measure S.
Property Tax - State statutes provide that the property tax rate be limited generally to 1% of market value, be levied by only the County, and be shared by applicable jurisdictions. The County of Sonoma collects the taxes and distributes them to taxing jurisdictions on the basis of assessed valuations subject to voter-approved debt. Property taxes are due on November 1 and March 1, and become delinquent on December 10 and April 10. The City receives property taxes pursuant to an arrangement with the County known as the "Teeter Plan". Under the plan, the County assumes responsibility for the collection of delinquent taxes and pays the full allocation to the City. The City recognizes property tax revenues in the fiscal year in which they are due to the City.
Other Revenue - Other General Fund revenue sources are impacted by the economic environment, but not to the same degree as sales, property, and transaction and use taxes. These other sources include; Business License Tax, Permits and Franchises, Rents; Revenue from Other Agencies, Charges for Services, Transfers from Other Funds, and Other Revenues.
Enterprise Funds
Enterprise Funds are for specific services that are funded directly through user fees. As the second-largest fund type in the City, the Enterprise Funds are fully self-supporting and are not subsidized by tax money from the General Fund.
Cotati’s Enterprise Funds include Water Operating and Capital Funds (401 & 402) and Sewer Operating and Capital funds (404 & 405).
Special Revenue Funds
Special revenues are monies received for a specifically identified purpose. Examples are Gas Tax (203), MTC Streets (204), and Measure S Parks (225) funds.
Capital Projects
Capital project funds are financial accounts that are used to track the building, renovating, or purchase of; equipment, property, facilities, parks, and other infrastructure or information technology systems which are to be used as a public asset or to benefit the public. Examples of these funds for the City are Grants Fund (201), Capital Outlay (604), and Capital Projects (605).
Debt Service Fund
Projects This is a new fund for the City which records the accumulation of resources and payment of principal and interest on general long-term obligations and payments on contractual obligations. These debt service payments are supported by operating transfers from the General Fund and Enterprise Funds.
Internal Service Funds
Internal Service Funds account for activities that provide goods and services to other departments or funds on a costreimbursement basis.
Fiduciary Funds
The City fiduciary funds are made up of the private purpose trust fund as well as the Custodial Fund. The private purpose trust fund that accounts for all the assets, liabilities, and financial activities of the Successor Agency to the City's former Redevelopment Agency that was dissolved effective February 1, 2012. The Custodial Fund is the South Sonoma Business Park Assessment District, which facilitates a special assessment debt service charged to landowners for the financing provided to develop the business park.
City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 24 Identification of Major Funds
In line with GASB 34, the City defines major funds as funds whose revenues, expenditures/expenses, assets, or liabilities (excluding extraordinary items) are at least 10 percent of the corresponding totals for all governmental or enterprise funds and at least 5 percent of the aggregate amount for all governmental and enterprise funds. Any other fund may be reported as a major fund if the government's officials believe that the fund is particularly important to financial statement users.
City's Budget Major Funds
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the government’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.

City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 28 Budget Development Process
Preparing the Budget
The budget development process is the formal method through which the City establishes its program priorities, goals, and service levels for the upcoming fiscal year. Through the budget development process, programs are established, service levels are expressed, performance measures are articulated, and resources are identified.
The City of Cotati prepares a "line item budget." The intent of this format is to provide the City Council with summarized yet detailed budget information by department. At the same time, the overall focus of the budget is on policy direction and departmental activities, with emphasis on the level and cost of each City service, what services are being proposed, and the effect of these activities on general public welfare.
From October to December, the City Manager and Director of Administrative Services hold a series of planning meetings to analyze financial performance as of Mid-Year as well as determine preliminary budget guidelines for the upcoming fiscal year. Following these planning meetings, the budget calendar is developed. The budget calendar provides a time frame for the planning and preparing of the City budget.
From January through February, the Administrative Services Department drafts the budget guidelines, instructions, supporting materials, and establishes and assigns digital department budget workbooks within the ERP system. These budget guidelines include; new budget policies for the upcoming fiscal year, department digital reports with historical actual and proposed operating revenue and expenses, and departmental variance analysis (actual year to date versus budgeted financial activity) and forecast analyses. Based on policy direction provided by the City Council through the City Manager, departments prepare their budget requests for the City Manager's review. As needed, the Administrative Services Department provides technical assistance to the department staff involved in preparing budgets for their departments. When the department budgets are completed, the department director reviews them and digitally submits them for review to the Administrative Services Department.
Simultaneously, the Administrative Services Department generates budgets for non-departmental budget items including all personnel salaries and benefits as well as nondepartmental contract services. Additionally, the Department of Public Works and Engineering updates their projections and timing of the multi-year capital project program.
The Administrative Services Department compiles the departmental budgets and adds the non-departmental budget items and salaries and benefits costs into a draft line item budget rolling up to a single City-wide budget. With the departmental input, the Administrative Services Department performs an initial analysis comparing all revenue and expenditure projections for reasonability and to ensure that they adhere to the budget guidelines and that no category has been overlooked. Using the consolidated budget, the Administrative Services Director, City Manager and Director of Public Works and Engineering run capital project funding scenarios based on the proposed multi-year capital project program. Once a scenario is reached that allows for appropriate fund reserves and compliance with City objectives, the proposed transfers of funds for meeting the funding needs for capital projects is then added to the compiled City-wide budget.
The City Manager, Director of Administrative Services, and Department Directors meet between March and the end of April to review the draft digital budget, make necessary adjustments, and determine which of the proposed new programs will be presented to the City Council for adoption. These meetings are an opportunity for each department and division to present their proposed budget and their justifications for new programs, and to enhance the City Council's knowledge of operational needs to meet City objectives. The Administrative Services Department confirms the results of the digital budget workbooks and recommendations for the City Manager's approval.
From May through June, the City Manager presents the final recommendations to the City Council as the Proposed Budget. The City Council's review includes citizen's input at public hearings and budget workshops. Upon completion of the review and all budget modifications, the budget is adopted by resolution of the City Council. The Council also adopts the City's appropriations limit in conformance with the California Constitution, Article XIIIb.
Continuous Budget Monitoring
Once in place, the adopted budget becomes the main internal control document used to monitor and manage the City’s financial position. Monthly Revenue and Expenditures Reports are provided to department directors indicating revenue and expenditures for the month and year to date. This data is intended to help department directors control expenditures and track revenue. Department directors review the reports and investigate significant variances between actual revenues and expenditures and the budget projections. During this review, additional fund requirements may be City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 29 identified for specific items or projects that were unforeseen at the time of initial budget adoption. Accordingly, recommendations for additional appropriations are considered by the City Manager, submitted for approval to the City Council, and adjusted within the budgetary software by the Administrative Services Department.
Generally, the budget is formally amended at mid-year and at year-end. Additional appropriations, which were approved during the year, are added to the Adopted Budget and presented to the City Council as the Amended Budget. After Council's review, the Amended Budget is adopted by resolution.
City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 30 Budgeting 101 FAQ's
WHAT IS A MUNICIPAL BUDGET?
A municipal budget is a legally required management and planning tool to forecast expenditures and revenues the City will incur in the upcoming fiscal year. It is neither actual revenue nor actual expenditures, but a tool to plan for the desired level of expenditures with the expected level of revenue. The budget is constantly monitored throughout the year to make adjustments so that at the end of the year the budget is in balance.
WHO DEVELOPS THE CITY BUDGET?
Each year the City Council and City staff work together to develop an Annual Budget with public input through a series of public strategic planning and budget workshops in the spring. While the Budget is being created, all parties must make decisions on how to utilize the finite amount of revenue that the City receives in order to produce the greatest benefits for the citizens.
WHAT DOES THE CITY BUDGET DO?
The Budget serves as a guide and an outline of how the funds should be spent to provide, maintain, and improve services to the City. The City Council, City staff, and the public all serve as participants in its creation and execution. The City is limited by the number of resources available, and as such, the Budget aids officials in determining which objectives have the highest priority and will produce the greatest positive impact on the community. Budgets are also created for linking near-term goals with available resources while keeping in mind long-term goals and resources.
HOW IS THE BUDGET CREATED?
The budget is created by first establishing the goals and priorities for the City as determined by the Council during annual strategic planning meetings with City staff and the public. Once these goals are determined, a draft is created to accomplish those goals and priorities. Actual expenses and revenues from past years are also analyzed and reviewed to aid in forecasting expenses and revenues. The draft Budget is then discussed in a series of public workshops to receive additional input from the City Council and the public. The Budget must be formally adopted by the City Council by June 30th each year. Once the City’s budget is adopted by the Council, the budget becomes an essential oversight tool in the city’s operations.
WHAT IS A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN?
A multi-year capital improvement plan is a plan created by the City to identify needed construction projects and equipment purchases. This plan provides a timetable for construction phases as well as requirements for funding sources. The multi-year capital improvement plan includes City projects such as park improvements, street pavement maintenance, sewer and water system improvements, traffic signal and street lighting installations, and City facility construction or improvement.
City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 31 Basis of Budgeting
A municipal budget is a legally required management and planning tool to forecast expenditures and revenues the City will incur in the upcoming fiscal year. It is neither actual revenue nor actual expenditures, but a tool to plan for the desired level of expenditures with the expected level of revenue. The budget is constantly monitored throughout the year to make adjustments so that at the end of the year the budget is in balance.
The budget is prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The budgets for all funds have been prepared on a modified accrual basis. The modified accrual basis recognizes expenditures at the point in time when the related fund liability is incurred, not necessarily when the liability is actually paid. Revenues are recognized when they become both measurable and available. “Measurable” means the amount of the transaction can be determined and “available” means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. Each fund is estimated prior to the end of the fiscal year utilizing the same basis of accounting that is used for the same fund within the final audited financial statements once the Fiscal Year is closed.
City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 32 Financial Policies Summary
Financial policies are essential and central to a strategic, long-term approach to financial management of the City by the elected officials and staff. Financial policies also create and define a shared understanding of how the City will develop its financial practices and manage its resources to provide the best value to the community and provide structure, boundaries and limits on the actions City staff may take. The formal adoption of financial principles and policies promotes public confidence, enhances transparency and provides continuity over time.
The financial policies provide a structured, central repository for a variety of fiscal policies and are organized into the following categories including; General Financial Principles, Annual Operating Budget Policy, Capital Improvement Program, Revenues, Expenditures, Cash Management, Debt Management, Fund Balances, Financial Reporting, and Review and Updates. Additional financial policies that are approved separately from the financial policies include; the Reserve Policy, Investment Policy, Unfunded Accrued Liability Management Policy, Purchasing Policy and Capital Asset Policy. Please see the full financial policies attached below or on our city website here .
Reserve Policy
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommends that city governments maintain an unrestricted General Fund balance of no less than 2 months of regular General Fund operating revenues or regular General Fund operating expenditures. This amounts to 16.7% of either General Fund operating revenues or regular General Fund operating expenditures. The reserve policy adopted by the Cotati City Council maintains a minimum of 25% of the annual operating expenses, thus exceeding the GFOA recommendations. This policy ensures there are funds available for significant, unanticipated events since these reserve funds can only be used with a majority vote of the City Council, and for specific circumstances (see Cotati Financial Policies attachment below, pdf pages 15-17).
Investment Policy
The Investment Policy of the City guides investment of public funds in a manner which will provide the highest investment return with the maximum security while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the City, while conforming to all state and local statutes governing the investment of public funds (see Cotati Financial Policies attachment below, pdf pages 18-33).
Unfunded Accrued Liability Management Policy
The Unfunded Accrued Liability Management Policy was added to the City in order to add fiscal discipline and promote future financial stability. This policy developed budgetary actions to facilitate accelerated payoff of future Unfunded Accrued Liabilities (UAL) and is structured to ensure that all pension funding decisions are structured to protect both current and future taxpayers, ratepayers, employees and residents of the City (see Cotati Financial Policies attachment below, pdf pages 34-35).
Purchasing Policy
The City Purchasing Policy outlines the purchasing procedures that apply to all City purchases, including proper procurement, competitive bidding, contract services, recycled products and local vendor preference, credit card management, and emergency exemptions (see Cotati Financial Policies attachment below, pages pdf 45-70).
Capital Asset Policy
The Capital Asset Policy conveys the proper and approved financial treatment of expenditures for assets, and establishes thresholds in financial reporting. In addition, the asset policy defines specific controls over the safeguarding and maintenance of all assets in order to reduce the risks of loss through theft or mismanagement (see Cotati Financial Policies attachment below, pages pdf 71-83).
Summary
These policies will be updated periodically, but are designed with a long-term perspective and provide the basic framework and road map for addressing a wide variety of financial and economic conditions that the City will encounter.
A fiscal policy supports long-term planning and enhances the City’s effectiveness in implementing long-term strategies to deliver efficient services to the public. See the attachment below for copies of the adopted financial policies and financial procedures in place for the City of Cotati as of May 23, 2023.

City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 37 Economic Outlook & Intergovernmental Considerations
Just over four years ago, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. Subsequently, in 2022, the economic environment was significantly impacted by the start of the Russia-Ukraine war and global inflation. In 2023, the US watched the collapse of three large banks, First Republic Bank, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, which were the largest banking failures since Washington Mutual in 2007-2008. Additionally, the US Treasury Curve remained inverted with the short term rates increasing and long term rates declining. Looking to 2024, economists are stating the economy does not indicate a coming national recession but rather decreased slow growth through 2024 and into 2025.
Global
The World Economic Outlook provided in April 2024 projects slow stable growth worldwide of 3.2% in both 2024 and 2025, consistent with 2023. However, they are also projecting that the growth five years from now will also be the similar 3.1%.
Throughout the study, the IMF points out that the global economy has been surprisingly resilient, despite significant central bank interest rate hikes to restore price stability. However, the pressures to stem inflation has led to,"a slowdown in private capital formation further precipitated the growth slowdown. Absent policy action or technological advances, medium-term growth is projected to fall well below prepandemic levels. To bolster growth, urgent reforms are necessary to improve resource allocation to productive firms, boost labor force participation, and leverage artificial intelligence for productivity gains.
Addressing these issues is critical, given the additional constraints high public debt and geoeconomic fragmentation may impose on future growth."
Other critical changes for the global economic future is expected to come from the emerging countries around the world, primarily China. "The emerging markets of the Group of Twenty (G20) now account for about 30 percent of global economic activity and about one quarter of global trade. At the same time, these economies have become increasingly systemic through their integration into global value chains (GVCs), with the potential to move global markets. This implies that spillovers to growth from shocks originating in these economies,...can have far greater ramifications for global activity." All these factors continue to dominate the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the global, national, and local economic outlook.
National
According to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) economic outlook for 2024-2034 , the national economy for 2024 is expected to have growth slows as unemployment increases, partly as a result of tight monetary policy. Real (inflation-adjusted) GDP growth accelerates in 2025 after the Federal Reserve responds to weaker economic conditions in 2024 by lowering interest rates.
The GDP increased by 5.4% and 0.7% in 2021 and 2022 respectively compared to the increase of 3.1% in 2023. Primary changes in the GDP were increases in consumer spending and exports and offset by residential investment and federal government spending. To address pent-increasing inflation, the Federal Reserve initiated fiscal policy to increase interest rates and has continued to retain the rates at a higher rate. Inflation is slowly finding new equilibrium in the 2.2% to 2.7% per annum range, and the Forecast expects the Federal Reserve to take a neutral stance while economic growth rebounds to trend rates next year. Historically, interest rates in the United States averaged 5.42% from 1971 until 2023, reaching an all-time high of 20.0% in March 1980 and a record low of 0.25% in December 2008. As of June 2024, the national interest rate is 5.5% .
Nationally, the unemployment rate has slowly increased to 4.0% as of May 2024 . According to the CBO , the unemployment rate will rise to 4.4 % by the fourth quarter of 2024, reflecting the slowdown in economic growth. In later years, the unemployment rate ranges from 4.3 percent to 4.5 percent. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics in the month of May 2024, employment continued to trend up in several industries, led by health care; government; leisure and hospitality; and professional, scientific, and technical services. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics also shares income information on a national level. As of April 2024, personal income increased $65.3 billion (0.3 percent at a monthly rate) and disposable personal income (DPI) (personal income less personal current taxes) increased by $40.2 billion (0.2 percent). The increase in currentdollar personal income in April primarily reflected increases in compensation, personal income receipts on assets, and government social benefits to persons.
Beacon Economics summarized their projection of the US Economy for 2024 as follows, "The economic reality today is that the United States will almost assuredly experience a reasonable pace of GDP growth in 2024, led by solid growth in consumer demand. Labor markets will remain tight, industrial production will be steady, and long run interest rates will likely stay in the same range they’ve been in for the past year. In many ways 2024 will look a lot like 2023 with a solid, moderately expanding economy."

City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 38 "As goes the U.S. economy, so goes California’s. As big an economy as California is from a global perspective (5th or 6th depending on how you count it), the state still accounts for less than 15% of total U.S. output. As such, good economic conditions at the national level will keep California’s economy moving as well. The key question revolves around the quality of that growth. " The qualitative major factors for the state appear to be housing production and the state budget deficit. The most immediate issue facing California is its massive budget deficit, which is running somewhere between $35 and $70 billion. While this does not have a direct impact on the state economy, it could impact the regional and city economic future if the State chooses to supplant the deficit with reductions in grants or other passthrough funds made to the local governments.
For Californian homeowners, monthly payments for a newly purchased mid-tier homes have increased dramatically over the last couple of years. Payments for a mid-tier home were over $5,500 a month in March 2024, an 80 percent increase since January 2020. Payments for a bottom-tier home were over $3,400 per month, an 85 percent increase since January 2020.
At the same time, the affordability of home buying has become more stratified in 2022 buyers would have to have income in excess of 2 times the median household to qualify for a mortgage of a mid-tier Caifornian home.
County
According to the Sonoma County Economic Development Board, Sonoma County’s economy turned in a strong 2023, with job growth outpacing that in the state and nation by a considerable margin. On the back of a strong second half of the year, year-ago job growth closed out last year near 3%, well above both California and the U.S. average For Sonoma County, consumer spending related to tourism is critical to the regional economy and has continued to increase during the post-pandemic. Visitor arrivals and spending will remain strong given a resilient U.S. labor market, and tourism spending on visitation to local wineries and breweries will provide another boost. Unfortunately, the region still suffers from demographic trends, specifically in housing and the aging population. Both factors are expected to contribute to a contraction in the growth. Our county continues to see an impact on the diversity of potential residents due to a combined lack of housing supply and unaffordability. Migration out of the county has been greater than migration into the county for the past six consecutive years. As the population ages and baby boomers move into retirement, there will be fewer prime-age workers to fill their jobs. Proximity to the Bay Area and economic powerhouses play to Sonoma County’s advantage. However, costs in Sonoma County are high relative to other emerging tech hubs, making it a less desirable location for expansion.
As summarized by Moddy's Analysis , "Unfortunately, weak population growth will out muscle the advantages of a high quality of life and an educated workforce, relegating the county to a slightly below-average performer relative to California." Cotati
Our city was not unaffected by the significant economic impacts both at the regional and statewide levels. While revenues have shown some slowing subsequent to the Covid-19 rebound. We anticipate to remain stagnant for fiscal year 2024/25. This status quo is due to decreased consumer spending leading to reduction in sales tax as well as reduced water consumption continuing due to the surplus rainfall achieved again during fiscal year 2023/24. Cotati is differentiated from the region due to lack of access to tourism spending to offset losses in other spending. The City is continuing to work strategically on economic development, including (1) supporting hotel development in order to create meaningful Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT) income and bring visitors into local Cotati businesses to support our existing business community, (2) supporting the continued development of the cannabis industry in Cotati, which will provide new revenue through the local cannabis business tax, and (3) focusing on economic development in key areas of the City to support existing businesses and promote new development in the Northern Gateway and Highway 116. This will make the city more resilient and aligned to the regional balance of economic factors as well as provide new services for residents. With this economic strategy in place, the City will be able to better serve its residents through resiliency gained with diversified stable revenue into the future.
This estimate for our budget year is consistent with our projection as presented within the prior years budget where we noted an estimated swing in consumer behavior in a return to normal. The City continues to focus on maintaining sufficient operating reserves, while securing and diversifying revenues to ensure revenue stability and to provide long term funding for priority community services and infrastructure, and debt repayments. Fiscal Year 2024/25 estimates a 2.6% increase in Citywide revenues as we rebound from this normalization in 2023/24. For more information, see the funding sources section of the budget document.
Alternatively, City expenditures have been more directly impacted by the global inflation crisis. Overall, the City is projecting continued significant increases in costs related to insurance, materials, and other professional contract services. For more information, see fund summaries pages and department summaries pages.
In order to better evaluate the City's financial position, in spring 2024, City Staff prepared and presented projections over the next 10 years for the Cities General Fund with a Long-Range Financial Forecast which is available on the City Website here . 8

City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 39 City Government Highlights & Trends
General Funds Highlights and Trends
Total Operating Revenues for Fiscal Year 2024/25 are budgeted at $10.4M; a 1.6% increase over the Fiscal Year 2023/24 adopted budget and a less than 0.7%% increase over the Fiscal Year 2023/24 estimated actual revenues. The increase from the adopted budget is primarily due to increased other taxes and other revenues. The difference between operating revenues and total revenues are primarily related to revenues from other sources including interfund debt service and transfers-in from other special revenues.
For operating revenues, most activities are static with slight increases in charges for services and property taxes with declines in other taxes which is primarily related to declines in cannabis business tax.
As Sales Tax and Property Tax are critical revenue streams, generating almost 80% of the total General Fund revenues, the City collaborates with third party consultants who monitor the market to generate projections.
The City employs conservative estimates for all revenues and specifically service fees in both public works and community development, as future development projects are uncertain at this time.
Further details on major revenues for the General Fund are detailed within the Funding Sources Section of the budget book.
Total Operating Expenses for Fiscal Year 2024/25 are budgeted at $9.5M, a 1.4% increase over the Fiscal Year 2023/24 adopted budget and an 8.2% increase from the estimated actuals for the same fiscal year.
Adjusting for the one-time contribution, the budgetary increase is primarily due to:
General City-Wide Insurance is estimated to increase 13% Staffing costs increased 3.1% based on budgeting for (1) Full Employment, (2) Negotiated MOU COLAs, (3) Scheduled Step Increases, (4) Continued Lump Sum payments to CalPERS, Utilities, including electrical, water, the Internet and phone are budgeted with an increase of about 14.1% due to increased rates for these services.
Other changes included in the historical balances include the increase in the 2021/22 actual was due to the $4.8M Additional Discretionary Payment (ADP) to CalPERS for the City's unfunded pension liability. It is estimated that the refunding of this debt could ultimately save the City Approximately $2.3 million over the next 23 years.

City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 40 Enterprise Funds Highlights and Trends
Water Operating Fund
Revenues for Fiscal Year 2024/25 are estimated to increase by approximately 3.5% over the Fiscal Year 2023/24 estimated actual results, and a 3.6% increase from the adopted budget for the same 2023/24 year. Expected changes to the revenues are the following:
Increased rates for both consumption and base fees as proposed to the City for approval as part of the multi-year rate study program. Water rates are determined by the cost of delivering water and maintaining infrastructure and equipment in order to properly treat and distribute water to our customers.
The city estimated consistent water consumption for the Fiscal Year 2023/24 which was a decrease from prior years due to conservation and continued rainfall (thus reducing irrigation).
Reduced development impact fees for connections to City Services as development projects have uncertain timeframes for completion currently.
Total Expenses for Fiscal Year 2024/25 are estimated to increase by approximately 12.7.0% over the Fiscal Year 2023/24 estimated actual and 9.4% from the adopted budget for the same 2023/24 year. The primary changes between years were the following:
Reduced expenses related to other expense charges, specifically small tools and equipment, as well as capital costs for fixed assets.
Approximately 13.7% increased costs for Aqueduct Water Usage primarily due to the Water Agencies rate increase.
Increases in allocated costs for utilities, specifically, electricity, internet, phones as well as contract services.
Continued investment in conservation programs, including water audit services.
Capital and Other Uses for the proposed budget year 2024/25 include:
New Interfund Debt Service Back to General Fund for UAL Contribution Proposed Capital Project and Equipment Improvements:
SCADA Server Upgrade & Relocation - $81,643
West Sierra Tank Recoating - $838,200
Well 1A Maintenance Improvements - $68,000
Differences from the Rate Study Projections
Revenues, expenses, and fund balance are substantially inline with the rate study but with a fund balance that is approximately $220K higher. This increased balance is primarily due to managed expenditures in Fiscal Year 2021/22.
Sewer Operating Fund
Revenues for Fiscal Year 2024/25 are estimated to increase by approximately 4.5% over the Fiscal Year 2023/24 estimated actual budget and 10.8% from the adopted budget for the same 2022/23 year. Expected changes to the revenues are the following:
Increased rates for both usage and base fees as proposed to the City for approval as part of the multi-year rate study programs. Wastewater rates are determined by the cost of processing wastewater and maintaining infrastructure and equipment.
The city estimated consistent wastewater consumption in prior years.
Reduced development impact fees for connections to City Services as development projects are uncertain at this time.
Total Expenses for Fiscal Year 2024/25 are estimated to increase by approximately 4.2% over the Fiscal Year 2023/24 estimated actual expenditures and increase by less than 3.8% from the adopted budget for the same 2023/24 year.
Expected changes to the expenditures compared to the prior year budget are primarily due to change in allocated expenses like insurance and tech and data contract services as well as increased costs for wastewater treatment and subregional debt service paid to the wastewater treatment plant.
Capital and Other Uses for the proposed budget year 2024/25 include:
Continuing Interfund Debt Service Back to General Fund for UAL Contribution Proposed Capital Project and Equipment Improvements:
SCADA Server Upgrade & Relocation - $81,650
Differences from the Rate Study Projections
Due to the decreased budgeted revenues and expenses, the overall fund balance remains approximately $200K less than the Rate Study.
The City will continue to monitor the trends for both the Water and Sewer Funds against the rate study and look to updating the study if the fund balance for continued operations is projected to not meet the required 30%.

Vehicle Replacement Fund - For Fiscal Year 2024/25, the vehicle replacement fund schedules replacements to be funded by other funds in order to cover maintenance costs as well as fleet replacement. This is calculated per the vehicle replacement schedule. The City is dedicated to environmentally conscious procurement and as such will continue evaluation of appropriate fleet purchases with possible cost equivalent electric vehicles in place of the standard gas combustion replacements.
Compensated Absences Fund – This fund was established for Fiscal Year 2019/20 to fund the payouts for compensated absences (primarily accrued employee leave and vacation time). For Fiscal Year 2024/25 we are continuing to use this fund to reduce outstanding deferred compensation unfunded liability, as well as removing this episodic expense from the annual operating budgets.

City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 42 Overview of Significant Fund Balance Changes
Overview of funds with Fund Balance Changes greater than 10% and $20,000 in Fiscal Year 2023/24 General Fund balance has a decrease of approximately $3.8M or 51%, primarily due to increased investment in capital projects with $5.0M in transfers out for Capital Projects.
Traffic Mitigation Fund balance (Fund 205) is anticipated to decrease approximately $146K or 91% as these development impact fees are utilized towards relevant traffic mitigation capital/streets improvements.

City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 43 Fiscal Year Comparisons
For Fiscal Year 2019/20, the short term goals of the City were focused on improving its operations and transparency through a host of initiatives for the community, including a Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR), the cable broadcasting of City meetings, and neighborhood police beats. The City Council also focused on improving its services by investing in technology like the Incode Water and Sewer billing Notifications systems, as well as other professional services contracts to create efficient building inspections and permit checks. A significant effort was also placed on improvement of vital City infrastructure, with an estimated $4.3M in capital improvement projects, including $3.6M in Street Construction & Improvements. This was all while maneuvering through multiple significant emergencies, including the PG&E Power Outrages in October 2019 which had the City’s power out for more than 5 days during the Kincade fire, and the continuing emergency of COVID-19.
For Fiscal Year 2020/21, we continued to focus on strategic improvements to City services to reach the community and assist during these times of extreme uncertainty. We looked for ways to strategically invest in infrastructure all while focusing on a first tier of projects that have grant matching programs, improve safety, or are relatively low cost with high benefit. Using this strategy, we were able to bid a major street project and save approximately $1.3M compared to engineer estimates. We also continued to push forward key development and housing agenda items, including ADU ordinances and a housing survey for the City. Completion of these objectives as well as continued work on a cottage housing ordinance will place the City in a strong position for appropriate growth and development going into the future.
For Fiscal Year 2021/22, the City continued pushing forward on projects delayed during the COVID-19 crisis. Major Projects the City completed included over $4 million in both a full rehabilitation project on the West Side of the city and street preservation programs through the 'birds' section. By focusing on reinvestment in streets over the next 5 years, the City can then transition to a maintenance program for City streets, thus reducing future costs for infrastructure significantly. The investments in these improvements would not have been accessible for the future if it weren't for another major accomplishment for the City, the significant financing strategy that was implemented in obtaining new financing for streets as well as refinancing the outstanding UAL pension debt with CalPERS. This has led to estimated future cost savings of over $6 million. For the enterprise funds, the City performed the rate analysis which includes recommendations for adjusting the water and sewer rate schedules that are designed to provide necessary revenues to meet each utility’s needs to cover operating and maintenance costs, meet debt service obligations, and support the capital projects necessary to rehabilitate and upgrade the water and sewer systems, and maintaining prudent financial reserves.
For Fiscal Year 2022/23, the City continued working on major capital projects, including over $5 million in street rehabilitation projects and street preservation programs. Along with the major investments in streets, the City initiated its first major park revitalization program in over 10 years at our Kotate Park. City General funds were matched with over $260K in Parks Measure M funding in Local Special Parks Sales Taxes and $178K in Prop 68 funds from the State Grants. The City also invested $1.0 million in Civic Center improvements, including window replacement, insulation replacement, and re-stuccoing for half of City Hall plus window replacement at the Civic Center. We are all excited about seeing the final painting of the Civic Center. For the enterprise funds, the City replaced over 1,000 liner feet which repaired defective and undersized sewer pipe on West Sierra Avenue from Olof Street to Water Road. The project is one of many identified in the City's detailed Inflow and Infiltration Study.
This project was also prioritized over other repairs because of the City's Quick Strike road paving project scheduled for 2023.
The City is continuing to move forward with the water line replacement on Cypress Ave, in advance of that street refurbishment project scheduled for 2023/24.
For Fiscal Year 2023/24, the City continued working on major capital projects, including over $5 million in street rehabilitation projects and street preservation programs. Along with the major investments in streets, the City completed its first major park revitalization program in over 10 years at our Kotate Park and built our infrastructure and implemented free Wi-fi in La Plaza Park. The City continued to work on design of updates to the remaining parks and collaborated with a local baseball league to revitalize two of the City's baseball fields. With the redesign of the City Seal, construction continued on sign replacements around the City, including new two-post entry-point sign replacements with a refreshed Welcome to Cotati. With the enterprise funds, the City replaced over 1,000 liner feet which repaired defective and undersized sewer pipe on Cypress Avenue in advance of the street roadway repair project.
For Fiscal Year 2024/25, the City is going to continue focusing on the strategic objectives as set out by the City Council to support a beautiful, safe, and stable City with a transparent government.

City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 50 Short-term Factors
City staff continue to be cautious and responsible in developing a budget that strives to improve service levels, while developing a phased capital project plan, and preserving appropriate operating reserves. In preparing departmental budgets for the new fiscal year, department directors are instructed to analyze their departmental goals and their correlating expenditures. This process includes an evaluation of each department for possible cost savings, cost sharing, or possibilities for grants/donations.
The Administrative Services Department assisted each department with calculations of key factors that were assumed to affect each individual department’s budget, including but not limited to:
Assist in revenue estimations based on known or anticipated developments and economic factors Human Resources adjustments due to labor agreements, pension payments, employee turnover due to retirements, and internal position changes.
Determining if new or ongoing contract services will have Citywide benefit, and therefore be allocated using a reasonable basis, or if the service is exclusively for a certain department and will therefore be charged directly to the lead department.
Estimating unknown expenditures for utilities, general insurance, or legal counsel.
Debt payments and tentative investment earnings
The 2024/25 City budget continues to recognize the need for a conservative approach to managing expenditures while providing a balance of maintaining existing high-quality programs, services and infrastructure, to best meet the goals and priorities of the City and its community partners. Additional service level changes for the individual departments are described within the departmental summary sheets and the service level changes for capital project evaluations are included within the capital improvements section.
City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 51 Strengths ,Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats
City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 52 Priorities & Issues
The budget continues to meet the prudent financial reserve goals of City Council, which calls for a General Fund operating contingency reserve of not less than 25% of the total General Fund operating budget for the fiscal year (Resolution 2009-50). The adopted budget includes a reserve level that continues to exceed this goal set by City Council.
Although the current year budget continues to meet the City Council reserve policy, the City still faces some medium and longer term challenges:
Cotati's Issues
Although the current year budget continues to meet the City Council reserve policy, and Measure S was approved by voters, thus securing a vital City revenue source, the City still faces some medium and longer term challenges:
Economic Development: Due to anticipated growth slowdown for Property Taxes due to the Proposition 8 recapture and insufficient diversification of revenue, the City is focused on diversifying the current sources of revenue to provide a more stable and resilient general fund. Economic development also continues to grow the local economy, adds new goods and services locally, creates new jobs and contributes taxes to support services for our community. This is complemented by General Fund reserves, which provide financial stability and allow the City to respond to changes in revenue projections, expenditure needs, and unforeseen economic erosion or expansion.
Both the City Managers Department and the Community Development department are continuing to develop ongoing strategies to diversify the revenues and continue to expand the appropriate growth in line with the City's character.
Staffing Continuity and Succession Planning: The City, like most local governments, struggles to obtain full employment for all positions. The issue is twofold, with first the loss of current staff, including senior employees retiring from the City or staff being recruited to move to other outside agencies. Secondly, the current hiring practices for local governments do not seem to be enough to meet the expectations of potential candidates. While full staffing is always a desire for the City, it is expected to become even more difficult to fill positions as unemployment numbers decrease. The City Managers Office continues to work with each Department Director to provide enticing promotional position information for recruiting.
Disaster Response: The City has been lucky over the last decade to have not been subject to the significant losses and destruction that impacted other major areas within Sonoma County. This does not mean that we are immune. While we have made significant investments in backup systems, we must make strategic plans to address possible future catastrophic impacts from public safety power shutoffs, fire, earthquake, ongoing drought, or even technology data breaches.
Cannabis Business Tax - Other regional Citys are moving to expand cannabis retail, which may negatively affect cannabis retail revenues in Cotati. Petaluma currently allows two delivery-only retailers and an unlimited number of manufacturing, processing and testing operations. Proposed changes anticipated include the addition of three storefront retailers.
City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 53 Long Range Financial Plans
Although the adopted budget is an annual budget, the City is implementing tools to look beyond the one year, to make sure it can sustain operations and meet the long-term goals established in the comprehensive plan. To ensure long-term sustainability, the City's budgets follow these financial-related goals:
Maintain an operating reserve of at least 25 % for the General Fund and 33% for the Enterprise Funds Continue implementing best financial practices
Use technology to streamline and automate business practices to help keep up with the demand for services Contribute full funding for annual UAL pension funding and will evaluate and fully implement the unfunded liability management policy
To make sure the City is on the right financial track, the city has an objective of formalizing the Long-Term Financial Outlook that forecasts operating expenses and revenue for the next 10 years for the General Fund to correlate with the currently implemented 5 year outlook for the capital expenditures plan (CIP Schedules) for both the General and Enterprise Funds. This report is presented to the council and the public annually as a part of budget planning.
In addition to the operational outlook, a capital plan has been developed to address the needed infrastructure for the next five years. The summary of the long term capital plan summary can be found in the section after the long-term financial planning as well as within the Multi-Year Capital Improvements Section. Funding for these projects is also forecasted to make sure that the projects can be completed with no General Fund debt.
Long-term Financial Planning
Long-term financial planning is the process of aligning financial capacity with long-term service objectives.
With this planning, the City can use simple forecasts to provide insight into future financial capacity in order to meet future objectives, including capital planning, as well as secure operations of core services in case of future instability. Generated a Long-Range Financial Forecast that evaluated three scenarios for developing plans to mitigate possible future threats to our financial standing.
Within Scenario 1 the City generated a "Baseline" status quo forecast. The second scenario was a projection of results for what it would be like if the City expanded its revenue stream with the development of a Hotel. The last scenario was a projection of the City's fund if a recession similar to the Great Recession were to recur next year. Below is a graphical summary of the effects on the General Fund under each scenario. Additionally, with the Baseline trend, we also have detail on the availability of funds to meet the five year planned capital improvement plan.
This report is primarily a planning tool to be used by the City in order to stimulate discussion making and provide focus for a long-range perspectives. Below is a snapshot of the estimated revenue and expenditure projections for 5-years for the General Fund, as well as the combined Enterprise Funds.
City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 54 Graphic Depictions of the Long Range Financial Forcast Scenarios 2 and 3.
Long Term Capital Planning
The first step in long range capital planning is identifying community needs and desires. The City is continuing to develop ongoing capital asset life cycle replacement schedules including the vehicle & equipment replacement fund as well as preparation of the 5-year capital improvement program for both government and enterprise major infrastructure. City staff also analyze the assets that are noted for possible aging to determine when or if replacements are required. These schedules assist programing funds needed for the replacement or refurbishment of these major assets. Within the multi-year plan for capital improvements there is additional information to identify future service needs and maintenance, possible cost savings due to project implementation, as well as possible increases in revenue.
Other items that are considered when initiating major capital expenditures include the following:
Do these infrastructure improvements meet economic development needs or provide great public benefit? Does it meet City policy within the General Plan?
Did we incorporate input and participation from major stakeholders and the public? Will this project provide additional revenue-generating potential? What are the non-financial impacts of the project, including local and global environmental impacts? City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 55 Personnel Changes
For the Fiscal Year 2024/25 the budget continues to reflect full staffing with possible changes to staffing including:
Advancement of the City Manager Administrative Analyst to a Senior Management Analyst.
Addition of City Manager Administrative Assistant to assist in continued City Operations due to the loss of City Clerk.
Addition of a second Accountant in the Administrative Services Department.
Replacement of the Community Development Limited Term Senior Planner with a part-time Associate Planner, and the addition of a part-time Planning Technician to replace the Administrative Analyst position.
Replacement of the Public Works Administrative Analyst with a part-time Engineering Technician.
Increased Police Officers numbers in part to replace the Community Services Officer who is retiring at mid-year.

City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 58 Appropriations Limit
Proposition 4, approved by the voters in November 1979, added the California Constitution, Article XIIIB. This article limits the level of most appropriations from tax sources that the state and most local government entities are permitted to make in any given year. The limit for each year is equal to the limit for the prior year, adjusted for changes in the cost-of-living and population plus other various adjustments as required. The first year in which appropriations limits applied to state and local governments in California was Fiscal Year (FY) 1980/81.
Establishing Appropriations Limits
"The City's limitation is calculated every year and is established by resolution of the City Council as part of the Annual Operating Budget. A City Resolution was proposed for approval June 25, 2024, establishing the City of Cotati's appropriations limit.
The City's appropriations subject to the Gann Limit total $8,903,496, which is well below the authorized spending limit of $19,706,102. Additional appropriations to the budget funded by non-tax sources such as beginning fund balances, grants or service charges are unaffected by the appropriations limit. Historically, the City's Annual Appropriations Limit has exceeded annual appropriations and the City projects the trend to continue into the future. As supported by historically trended data, the margin between the proceeds of taxes and an appropriations limit shows that there is little concern for the City exceeding the limit in the near future.

City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 63 Property Tax Dollar Distribution
A property tax is a levy on the assessed value of a property. The general property tax is levied by the county equal to 1% of the assessed value, often called the 1 percent general tax levy or countywide rate. Under Proposition 13, a law approved by California voters in 1978, general property taxes (not including those collected for special purposes) are limited to 1% of a property’s market value and increases in assessed value are restricted to 2% per year.
For example, for a home with an assessed value of $500,000, the property owner would be assessed approximately $5,000 a year in property taxes (1% of assessed value). Of the $5,000, the city would only receive a total of $532.50 (10.65% of the 1% assessed value) from the County. California's property taxes are collected by the County Tax Collector and are then transferred to the County Auditor for distribution to the multiple local governments.
The graphic below shows where each property tax dollar paid by City property owners is allocated.
City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 64 Sales Taxes Summary
$6,027,000
-$57,000
(-0.94% vs. prior year)
The City is projecting almost status quo revenue from Sales Taxes for Fiscal Year 2024/25 with less than a 1.0% decrease. This change is a conservative estimate based on evaluated potential economic impacts of increasing interest rates and slower consumer spending, especially on goods subject to sales tax. The city also anticipates a continued decreased volume of transactions generated through the County Pool due to the Amazon Distribution Center re-allocation of funding.
Major industry groups within the City are Building/Construction, Fuel and Service Stations, Food and Drug, the County Pool, and Restaurants.

Other Taxes
Transfer tax is a transaction fee imposed on the transfer of land or real property from one person (or entity) to another. The total transfer tax for the County and City is $1.10 ($0.55 County / $0.55 City) per $1,000 of property value, minus any loans assumed in the sale.
Cannabis Business Tax is a local voter approved business tax for recreational cannabis businesses. These tax rates are based on several factors, including gross receipts, license type and business segment.
Transient occupancy tax (TOT) is a levy placed on tourists to the City, which is intended to compensate local government for the increased public service costs incurred by serving tourists. This tax is common in most of the United States, including California, and is applied to travelers when they rent accommodations (a room, rooms, entire home, or other living space) in a hotel, inn, tourist home or house, motel, or other lodging. At this time, Cotati is the only City in Sonoma County without TOT funding, due to the absence of lodging facilities.

$930,270
$88,620
(10.53% vs. prior year)
The City is projecting a slight increase in revenue from these sources. The increase from the Fiscal Year 2023/24 budget is primarily due to increased rental activity for City Facilities. The Recreation Department has been actively making the facilities available to our community.
Other increases in revenues from other agencies are primarily because of renegotiated agreements for shared services provided by the City of Cotati to Sonoma State University.
Licenses, Permits, and Franchises are subject to multiple factors for changes in revenues. For franchise agreements, increases are primarily based on negotiated contracts. Whereas Licenses and Permits are subject to rate changes as included within the City Code. These rate changes are offset by changes in consumer activity and the volume of licenses or permits applied for in a given fiscal year.

City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 105 Departmental Goals & Performance Measures
Departmental Goal #1: Regional Collaboration to Address Mental Health and Unsheltered Crisis
Specialized Assistance For Everyone (SAFE)
Team
The SAFE Team provides three main services
to the community
1. Response to issues relating to mental health,
addiction and homelessness
2. Non-emergency response for people in need
3. Proactive and continued community outreach
Cotati, Rohnert Park and Sonoma State University
have partnered with a mobile mental health crisis
response team for our cities and the University. The
SAFE team began service November 1, 2021 starting
with twelve hour daily coverage from noon to
midnight. In January 2023, SAFE began a 24/7
response. SAFE modeled after the successful Cahoots
program in Eugene Oregon consists of a mental
health professional, resource advocate and medic
(nurse, paramedic or EMT).
SAFE works proactively to address low level issues
and provides preventative outreach to help ensure
individuals don’t end up needing a higher level of
care. SAFE can identify shelter options for the
homeless, mental health services for people in crisis,
resources to address addiction and provide health
care that does not meet the threshold of an
ambulance response. When SAFE is not responding to calls-for-service they conduct outreach to the homeless triaging their
medical status and providing shelter and counseling
information.
SAFE is intended to benefit everyone by keeping
police officers, firefighters and paramedics available
for appropriate emergencies.
If you observe someone experiencing mental health
issues or homelessness and you think SAFE is an
appropriate response call 707-792-4611 for nonemergencies or 911 for emergencies.
City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 106 Departmental Goal #2: Engage to Improve Communication, Build Trust, and Reduce Racism
The Police Department, in conjunction with all City
Departments, will strive to seek community engagement to improve communication, build trust, and reduce racism in Cotati.
The Police Department will continue community
engagement through Coffee with a Cop, National Night Out, Thomas Page Academy outreach and other platforms.
The Police Department will continue its Public Information efforts through social media and on the City Website. We will incorporate Neighborhood Level Programming through our
Officer Assigned Areas consisting of six (6) designated "beats" in our City.
Departmental Goal #3: Support Safe Roads and Neighborhoods, including Inviting Park Space, for the Community
The Police Department, in conjunction with all City
Departments, will continue to provide safe roads and
neighborhoods, including inviting parks and open spaces for the community to learn, play, and promote a healthy and active lifestyle.
During Fiscal Year 2020/21 the City initiated the Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP). The LRSP identified the top systemic collision patterns throughout the City and top collision locations. The LRSP was a joint effort by City Traffic
Engineers, Police and the public. This safety plan provides the City with a toolbox of countermeasures to address
systemic collisions through future traffic designs and projects and directed traffic enforcement by our officers. The City will use the LRSP to make Cotati a safer community for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.

City of Cotati | Fiscal Year 2024/25 Proposed Budget Page 117 General Fund
The General Fund is the City’s unrestricted source of revenues and expenditures; it is the largest government-type fund with a Fiscal Year 2024/25 year-end reserve estimated at $4.9 million.
The General Fund supports all non-enterprise departments and more than 50% of the City’s total personnel service costs. Elected and appointed officials, Recreation and Facilities, Planning and Community Development, Public Works (except water and sewer), and the Police Department are all dependent on the General Fund for their operations.
General Funds can be used for any municipal purpose, including the general operations of the City, and to fund basic City services such as police, park and street maintenance, and recreational services. Examples of revenue sources for General Funds include: property taxes, sales taxes, licenses and permits, rents, charges for services, investment earnings, and payments received from other governmental agencies.
This is a major fund for the City as it accounts for more than 10% of the City-Wide Revenues and Expenses during a Fiscal Year.
Summary
Total Revenues for Fiscal Year 2024/25 are budgeted at $11.0M; a 2.9% increase over the fiscal Year 2023/24 adopted budget and a 0.8% decrease over the estimated actual revenues for Fiscal Year 2023/24. Comparing the adopted budget to the proposed budget, the increase is primarily due to moderate growth in tax revenues and other revenues.
Comparing the proposed 2024/25 budget to the estimated actual for Fiscal Year 2023/24, the increase is also primarily due to moderate growth in tax revenues and other revenues.
Total Expenses for Fiscal Year 2024/25 are budgeted at $12.3M, a 15.2% decrease over Fiscal Year 2023/24 adopted budget and a 2.5% increase from the estimated actual. These increased costs are primarily due to increased staffing costs such as workers' comp insurance, health benefits, and pensions, as well as the increase in liability insurance due to large catastrophic claims hitting the global insurance market. Increases from estimated actual are primarily due to negotiated Cost of Living Adjustments.
Total Sources and Uses are primarily funding debt payments for the new debt service fund as well as interfund debt service receipts from the enterprise funds.
Transfers In to the General Fund are primarily for the Cops Grant's Fund to contribute back to the Police Department related activities. Transfers Out primarily fund government capital projects including streets and parks. The total transfers out for Fiscal Year 2024/25 are budgeted at $5.5M, a 7.4% increase over Fiscal Year 2023/24 adopted budget, and an 88.4% increase over the estimated Fiscal Year 2023/24 actual. We are proud to be able to fund significant projects in the upcoming year, so please refer to the capital improvement section of the budget book for the details on the projects that are planned near you.

The Water Fund has implemented strategic capital projects over the last five years, focusing on system repairs and maintenance, including related technology integration. With the adopted five-year capital plan, reserves from the water fund are currently being maintained to support the future major project of the Cypress Water Tank replacement. Additional expenditures are anticipated to continue relating to the risk mitigation around PG&E public safety power shutoffs, which have required rentals of generators to support the wells.
Strategic projects anticipated for FY2025 include the SCADA System Server Upgrade and Relocation, as well as the West Sierra Tank Recoating, and continued Well 1-A Improvements.
Note that depreciation expense is a non-budgeted item, as it is non-cash and represents the usage of assets currently in service.

The Public Safety Fund receives revenues from both Prop 172 and well as the Citizens Option for Public Safety (COPS) Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Account (SLESA) Grants. Proposition 172 is a 1/2 cent sales that is in support of local public safety functions across all of California's cities and counties. As this is sales tax derived, we utilize our sales tax consultants to assist in estimate creation for the anticipated receipts for each fiscal year. The COPS grant is provided from State General Funds to local counties and cities in order to support local law enforcement. A summary of these special revenues is available here . Estimates on the annual funding available are calculated based on historical trends as well as projections received by the State.

For FY2023, we are continuing to use this fund to reduce outstanding deferred compensation unfunded liability, as well as removing this episodic expense from the annual operating budgets. In the near term, as long-standing employees approach retirement, we anticipate an increase in payouts for their unused compensated absence hours.
However, newer employees, and those who are hired to replace the retirees will have much lower accrual limits than longer-standing employees, and this will have the effect of further reducing this liability in the longer term.

The City Council has approved a debt policy contained in the appendix of the City's adopted budget, which includes parameters for entering into debt obligations. State law sets the bonded debt limit for General Obligation bonds at 15% of the total assessed valuation of all the real and personal property within the City. As of June 30, 2022, the City's total debt limit capacity was $6.6 million, of which the City has no General Obligation bonds.
Long-term Obligations
Special Assessment Bonds with Governmental Commitment ‐ South Sonoma Business Park The special assessment bonds were issued in an original amount of $5,875,000 for the purpose of facilitating a wetlands mitigation project. The bonds are secured solely by assessments levied against property owners within the assessment district and from monies on deposit in a reserve fund. The City has no obligation to advance funds for payment of bond debt service. Due to the decrease in bond interest rates the City assisted in the bond refunding which was completed in July 2019 reducing the interest rate from 6.5% to 2.95%, reducing the total debt service paid by property owners within the District by approximately $1,340,000 over the remaining life of the bonds.

ASSESSED VALUE OF TAXABLE PROPERTY
Notes:
Exempt values are not included in Total. In 1978 the voters of the State of California passed Proposition 13 which limited taxes to a total maximum rate of 1%, based upon the assessed value of the property being taxed. Each year, the assessed value of property may be increased by an "inflation factor" (limited to a maximum of 2%). With few exceptions, property is only reassessed as a result of new construction activity or at the time it is sold to a new owner. At that point, the property is reassessed based upon the added value of the construction or at the purchase price (market value) or economic value of the property sold. The assessed valuation data shown above represents the only data currently available with respect to the actual market value of taxable property and is subject to the limitations described above.

DIRECT & OVERLAPPING PROPERTY TAX RATES
Notes:
¹In 1978, California voters passed Proposition 13 which set the property tax rate at a 1.00% fixed amount. This 1.00% is shared by all taxing agencies for which the subject property resides within. In addition to the 1.00% fixed amount, property owners are charged taxes as a percentage of assessed property values for the payment of any voter approved bonds.
²Overlapping rates are those of local and county governments that apply to property owners within the City. Not all overlapping rates apply to all property owners. ³City's Share of 1% Levy is based on the City's share of the general fund tax rate area with the largest net taxable value within the City. The ERAF portion of the City's Levy has been subtracted where known.
⁴Redevelopment Rate is based on the largest RDA tax rate area and only includes rate(s) from indebtedness adopted prior to 1989 per California State statute. RDA direct and overlapping rates are applied only to the incremental property values. The approval of ABX1 26 eliminated Redevelopment from the State of California for the fiscal year 2012/13 and years thereafter.
⁵Total Direct Rate is the weighted average of all individual direct rates applied by the City/Agency preparing the statistical section information and excludes revenues derived from aircraft. Beginning in 2013/14 the Total Direct Rate no longer includes revenue generated from the former redevelopment tax rate areas. Challenges to recognized enforceable obligations are assumed to have been resolved during 2012/13. For the purposes of this report, residual revenue is assumed to be distributed to the City/Agency in the same proportions as general fund revenue.
