Fiscal Strategies

FISCAL STRATEGIES OVERVIEW
Purpose of Fiscal Strategies
Primary among the responsibilities the City of Cypress has to its citizens is the care of public funds and wise management of its assets while providing for the adequate funding of the services desired by the public and the maintenance of public facilities. Financial management strategies, designed to ensure the fiscal stability of the City, have been implemented to provide guidance for the development and administration of the annual operating and capital budgets.

Fiscal Strategies

1. The Budget will be balanced and focus on long-term sustainability

2. Reserves and fund balances will be maintained prudently

3. Available resources and the Strategic Plan will determine service levels

4. Continue to invest in the maintenance of facilities and infrastructure

5. Financial decisions will be transparent to the public These strategies are a foundation for protecting and assessing Cypress’ financial wellbeing. They do not provide specific solutions to arising financial challenges; rather they represent an approach to navigating important and difficult decisions necessary to address Cypress’ changing cost structure and ever more scarce resources.

The strategies are comprised of policies (formal actions previously taken by the City Council) and practices (actions management and City Council undertake to promote and protect financial resiliency).

Strategy Objectives
 Ensure Cypress provides necessary services to the community and remains financially resilient
 Allow time to affect change and adapt to financial challenges  Enhance transparency and encourage community involvement  Create methods to analyze the costs and benefits of services over the long-term  Help the City Council, City Management, the community, and employee associations balance competing demands for scarce resources Reflecting the city’s limited ability to control revenues, the objectives focus on service levels, efficiencies, expenditures control, and performance measure-based evaluation of programs and services.

FISCAL STRATEGIES

1. The Budget will be balanced and focus on long-term sustainability Policies

1.1. The Budget presented to City Council will be balanced (current year revenues fund current year operating expenses)
Practices

1.2. Reserves (excluding amounts accumulated for capital projects or capital outlay) will only be used to address extraordinary, short-term circumstances

1.3. The Budget will include a Five-Year Financial Projection

1.4. Ongoing operations will be funded with ongoing revenues

1.5. Expenditure growth will be limited to essential/necessary increases

1.6. Fees will be evaluated annually to identify the full cost of providing services

1.7. New programs/services must be revenue neutral, resulting in no impact to fund balance in the General Fund

1.8. Performance measures will be presented in the Budget and used to evaluate the effectiveness of programs and services

1.9. “Mini-financial statements” will identify the net costs of revenue generating programs and services

1.10. Pension trust investments will be reviewed annually to determine if adjustments to the investments or deposits/ withdrawals are warranted

FISCAL STRATEGIES

2. Reserves and fund balances will be maintained prudently Policies

2.1. The City will maintain the following contingency reserves:
 Reserve for Economic Uncertainty. Equal to 25% of General Fund expenditures, the reserve stabilizes City services should General Fund revenues decrease by greater than 10% or estimated General Fund expenditures increase by more than 10% and when the City Council determines the City’s ability to provide basic service to the community is threatened
 Reserve for Emergency/Disaster Recovery. Equal to 30% of General Fund expenditures, the reserve pays for capital needs in response to an emergency or natural disaster and provides resources to begin recovery prior to FEMA assistance or insurance proceeds become available

2.2. The City will maintain fully funded replacement accounts for capital including:
equipment, vehicles, and technology

2.3. The City will maintain fully funded internal service funds for: workers’ compensation and general liability insurance; employee benefits; and central services (the ongoing maintenance of equipment, vehicles and facilities and print shop and information technology operations)

2.4. The City will conform to the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Fund Balance Policy Statement 54 which defines fund balance categories and creates the authority necessary to establish them
Practices

2.5. Maintain a $2.5 million Stabilization Reserve designed to provide a period of adjustment should a major tax generating business relocate or cease operations or at the City Council’s discretion in response to other economic shocks

2.6. Maintain a $2.0 million Budget Stabilization Reserve which can be used in the short-term to assist with budget shortfalls due to forecasted financial challenges

2.7. Fiscal year end General Fund savings or unappropriated revenues will be:

1. Used to replenish any reserves used to fund operations during the fiscal year

2. Transferred to internal service funds to address unfunded liabilities

3. Transferred for future facility and infrastructure projects

FISCAL STRATEGIES

2.8. The General Fund will maintain an unassigned fund balance sufficient to account for unforeseen revenue shortfalls or unanticipated expenditures that may arise during the fiscal year

2.9. The City will identify its long-term liabilities and obligations and develop policies to address them

3. Available resources and the Strategic Plan will determine service levels Policies

3.1. The City Council will conduct Strategic Plan workshops at least twice a year

3.2. Programs, services, and staffing will be evaluated annually as part of the Budget process

3.3. Employee compensation will be competitive and sufficient to attract, motivate and retain high-quality employees committed to Cypress’ success Practices

3.4. The Budget will recommend programs, services and staffing using the following criteria:
 Is it necessary for public health or safety?
 Is it mandated by the State or Federal government?
 Does it accomplish a Strategic Plan goal or objective?  Does it result in operating savings (or additional costs) in the future?  Is significant outside/restricted funding available?
 Does it promote economic development?

3.5. Employees and employee associations are important partners and the City will engage them in the Budget process

3.6. The city will complete development of, and annually update, a Succession Plan

3.7. All staffing vacancies will be evaluated through the Succession Plan prior to a decision to fill the position

FISCAL STRATEGIES

4. Continue to invest in the maintenance of facilities and infrastructure Policies

4.1. Accumulated facility and infrastructure funding will be allocated through the Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP)

4.2. The General Fund will make minimum annual contributions of $1.8 million for Capital Improvements. Included in the $1.8 million will be contributions for facility and infrastructure improvements as follows:

Storm drain improvements and operations $500,000
Facility improvements $250,000
Additionally, $1,050,000 will be transferred from the General Fund for either current year or future expenditures depending on availability of restricted revenues for transportation purposes and the ability to meet associated Maintenance of Effort (MOE) requirements.

Practices

4.3. Facilities and infrastructure will be maintained to extend their useful life

4.4. The infrastructure reserve will maintain a balance sufficient to construct at least 115% of the projects included in the Seven-Year CIP funded by the General Fund

4.5. When practical, capital projects should be financed on a pay-as-you-go basis without issuing debt

4.6. Capital projects will prioritize the use of restricted funds (those other than the General Fund) and seek outside funding

4.7. The CIP will be guided by existing infrastructure system master plans

4.8. Options for ongoing revenue sources to support Recreation and Park District facilities and infrastructure improvements will be identified

4.9. Long-term facility and infrastructure needs beyond the Seven-Year CIP will be identified

Submitted Public Comments
From: Robin M. Itzler
To: Paulo Morales; Anne Hertz-Mallari; Scott Minikus; Jon Peat; ADM Subject: Attn: City Clerk - please read my comment at tonight"s meeting Date: Monday, March 28, 2022 10:50:36 AM
Dear Cypress City Clerk and Cypress City Councilmembers, Since I am not attending tonight’s (March 28, 2022) Cypress City Council meeting, I would like the following comment to be read on my behalf during public comments. Because of my near deafness, Zoom meetings are challenging for me. (I read this aloud and it is under two minutes.) My name is Robin Itzler and along with my husband we have been happy Cypress residents since 1978.

I want to thank Councilmembers Mayor Morales, Mayor Pro Tem Hertz-Mallari, Councilman Minikus, and Councilman Jon Peat for voting to FIGHT the ridiculous districting lawsuit.

Changing voting from citywide to district would permanently alter Cypress’ amazing success. Instead of being one successful city, we would become five mini cities with each councilmember primarily focusing on his or her mini city.

Districting is a recipe for disaster, and makes you wonder why anyone would want to push the city toward disaster. If an outside group is intent on ruining our city government, districting is the way to do this.

As I have shared with many people, our small city offers large amenities and has maintained its outstanding financial posture during difficult times. So why does councilmember Marquez want to destroy Cypress’ success? Speaking of success, of 34 Orange County cities, it is amazing that in 2021 Cypress was again named the most financially secure city. Like most Cypress residents, I shop and eat in neighboring communities, but most purchases are in Cypress because we have maintained a low sales tax compared to surrounding cities.

When out-of-area friends visit, they are always impressed with the corporations that line Katella Avenue and I share that Cypress is very business-friendly. For example, we do not have a utility users’ tax.

Again, thank you to Councilmembers Morales, Hertz-Mallari, Minikus, and Peat for the 4:1 vote to fight the districting lawsuit.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 4.

FROM: Alicia Velasco, Planning Director
DATE: 03/28/2022
SUBJECT: Receive and file the 2021 General Plan Annual Progress Report on the Implementation of the Housing Element

RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the 2021 General Plan Annual Progress Report on the implementation of the Housing Element.

DISCUSSION
Background
California Government Code Section 65400 mandates that by April 1 of each year, cities must submit a report to the State Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) that provides the progress of the implementation of the Housing Element.

In addition to submitting a Housing Element Annual Progress Report, cities must also submit a General Plan Annual Progress Report to HCD and OPR. This report satisfies both the Housing Element Annual Progress Report and General Plan Annual Progress Report requirements.

General Plan Status
Cypress' General Plan was adopted by the City Council on September 10, 2001. The General Plan contains the seven State-required elements, which are land use, circulation, housing, conservation, open space, safety and noise. The State allows the combining of elements or the addition of new elements, as long as the required seven elements are present in some fashion. The General Plan consists of the following Elements:

General Plan Elements Last Revised
Land Use: Land Use Element October 14, 2013
Circulation: Circulation Element September 10, 2001
Housing: Housing Element October 14, 2013
Conservation & Open Space (combined):

Conservation/Open Space/Recreation September 10, 2001
Safety: Safety Element October 14, 2013
Noise: Noise Element September 10, 2001
Optional: Air Quality Element September 10, 2001
Optional: Growth Management Element September 10, 2001
Optional: Implementation Element September 10, 2001
Cities are required to keep their General Plans current and internally consistent. There is no specific requirement that a local government update its General Plan on a particular timeline, except the Housing Element, which must be updated at least every eight years.

The following is a summary of General Plan related activities during the January 1 to December 31, 2021 reporting period.

Land Use Element
There were no amendments to the General Plan Land Use Element during the reporting period, nor were there any land use designation changes on individual properties.

There were no amendments to the Zoning Ordinance of the Municipal Code which could affect consistency with the Land Use Element, nor were there any zone changes on properties during the reporting period.

There were no new Specific Plans or amendments which could affect consistency with the existing Specific Plan land use designation and the PC Planned Community Zone, nor were there any land use designation changes on individual properties within any of the City’s specific plans.

Housing Element
On November 4, 2013, the 2014-2021 Housing Element was certified by HCD. This report is for calendar year 2021, which is the last year of the previous housing element cycle. The City is in the process of updating the Housing Element for the 2021-2029 cycle. Having a certified housing element makes the City eligible for State housing grants/programs and provides protection against housing-related lawsuits. Cypress' Regional Housing Need Assessment (RHNA) for the 2014-2021 Housing Element cycle was 308 units in the following income categories: very-low, low, moderate, and above moderate.

In 2021, the City processed:

Housing Permit Processing Stage Applications Units
Housing entitlement applications received and deemed complete 11 108 Housing entitlement applications approved 11 108
Housing permits issued 15 15
Housing Units completed 11 78
Below is a summary of the 2014-2021 Housing Element cycle totals which count toward the City’s RHNA based on income level:

Income Level 2014-2021 RHNA Units to Date
(2014-2021) Remaining
Very Low 71 14 57
Low 50 8 42
Moderate 56 12 44
Above Moderate 131 562 0
Total 308 596 143
The very low, low, and moderate-income categories fell short by 143 units and were added to the 2021-2029 RHNA.

Other Elements
There were no amendments to the other elements of the General Plan during the reporting period. The City continues to implement the goals and policies of all General Plan elements.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:

Provide further direction.

BUDGET IMPACT
None.

2021 Annual Progress Report

CITY OF CYPRESS
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 5.

FROM: Matt Burton, Director of Finance and Administrative Services DATE: 03/28/2022
SUBJECT: Approve an Independent Auditing Services Contract Extension

RECOMMENDATION
Approve a contract extension for $97,933 to Lance, Soll & Lunghard, LLP to perform annual auditing services for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2023, with an annual contingency of $2,000 and a one-year option for June 30, 2024.

SUMMARY
The Charter requires a certified public accountant provide annual audit services. The annual audit covers the City, the Recreation and Park District, and the West Cities Police Communications Center (West-Comm). In June 2017, the City Council approved an agreement with Lance, Soll & Lunghard LLP (LSL) which concluded with the FY 2020-21 audit. Under normal circumstances, the annual audit is a comprehensive and time-consuming process. Due to the pandemic and audit requirements attached to federal COVID-19 funding, the next several annual audits will be especially demanding and resource intensive. Transitioning to a new audit firm during this period of uncertainty would further consume significant resources and hamper continuity on pandemic-specific audit matters.

With these considerations and the competitive pricing offered by LSL, a two-year contract extension with a City option to extend one additional year is recommended.

DISCUSSION
The independent audit provides an annual review of all City funds and financial transactions in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, as established by the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. An annual audit enhances transparency, ensures eligibility for certain types of grant funding, and increases the likelihood the annual financial statements are presented fairly. Due to the substantial amount of start-up work required with a new auditor, the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommends partnering with an audit firm for at least five years. GFOA also recommends rotating auditors periodically to enhance the independence of the audit process.

In 2017, the City issued an RFP for auditing the City, the Recreation and Park District, and In 2017, the City issued an RFP for auditing the City, the Recreation and Park District, and West-Comm (which pays for its audit costs), as well as conducting required audits of Federal funds (known as the Single Audit), and reviewing the annual appropriation limits, as required by law. LSL was selected due to their experience with similar governmental clients, their reputation in the industry, as well as the experience and knowledge of the audit team.

LSL is a regional public accounting firm, headquartered in Brea, that has been auditing local governments throughout California for more than 90 years. The firm has extensive experience auditing California cities and is active in government finance and accounting organizations. LSL has successfully completed Cypress' audit for the last five years and each of those years the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report has been awarded the GFOA's Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting.

An extension of the contract with LSL is recommended for the following reasons:

Switching audit firms requires a substantial amount of resources to familiarize the new auditor with City operations and practices. These start-up costs include significant staff time.

The pandemic resulted in additional federal grants and audit requirements. An auditor that is familiar with City operations will ensure the City complies with these requirements and is preferred during periods with financial challenges.

The Finance department is most impacted by the audit and limited resources are available due to recent turnover, vacancies and increased workloads resulting from the requirements associated with the federal pandemic response and recovery funding.

Competitive pricing from LSL. Under LSL's proposal, audit costs increase approximately three percent annually. These increases are reasonable and far below the current consumer price index.

It is recommended the City Council extend LSL's contract for two years (with a City option for a one-year extension). At the conclusion of the extension, the City will issue an RFQ for audit services with the expectation that a new audit firm will be selected for at least a five-year term.

The cost for FY 2021-22 City and Recreation and Park District audit services will not exceed $43,775 (including a $2,000 contingency for Single Audit requirements) and sufficient amounts will be included in the Proposed FY 2022-23 Budget. The cost of West-Comm's audit will not exceed $6,468, and will be paid directly by West-Comm.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed the recommended extension.

Dear Matt Burton,
Thank you for expressing interest in extending the contract for auditing services between the City of Cypress (the “City”) and Lance, Soll & Lunghard, LLP (“LSL”) for two additional years and one optional year (FY 2021-22, FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24). As per your request, we have provided this quote for auditing and accounting services described below. As in prior years, we would propose to continue to provide the following services:
 Performing a financial audit, in accordance with Government Auditing Standards, of the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (“ACFR”).
 Performing a financial audit, in accordance with Government Auditing Standards, of the Cypress Recreation and Park District. Assist in preparation of the basic financial statements for the Cypress Recreation and Park District

 Performing a Single Audit in accordance with applicable federal laws, regulations, statutes, and the terms and conditions of the federal award agreements for the City, if applicable.  Performing agreed-upon procedures over the City’s and Cypress Recreation and Park District’s calculation of its Appropriations Limits.

We will make it an absolute priority to provide the City with the same level of care and service that we have provided in the past.

This coupled with the knowledge base we have gained from working with the City over the years, provides for optimal audit services during this challenging time.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 6.

FROM: Peter Grant, City Manager
DATE: 03/28/2022
SUBJECT: Consider Terminating the Proclamation of the Existence of a Local Emergency Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution terminating the Proclamation of the Existence of a Local Emergency by the Director of Emergency Services ratified by the City Council on March 23, 2020.

DISCUSSION
On March 4, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom declared a State of Emergency as part of the State's response to the COVID-19 crisis to help preserve available medical resources and prevent catastrophic failure of the hospital system. On March 18, 2020, the City Manager, acting as the Director of Emergency Services, proclaimed a local emergency in response to COVID-19 pursuant to Chapter 8A of the Cypress Municipal Code and California Government Code Section 8630. The City Council ratified the Proclamation of the existence of a local emergency by adopting Resolution No. 6774 on March 23, 2020. The City Council's action authorized the Director of Emergency Services to take certain actions to protect the health and safety of the community and stated that the local emergency would remain in effect until terminated by the City Council.

More than two years later, the threat of COVID-19 still exists but, in light of advances in medicine and availability of vaccines, the City no longer needs to exercise extraordinary local powers. California law states that a legislative body should proclaim the termination of the local emergency at the earliest possible date that conditions warrant (Government Code Section 8630(d)). Therefore, it is recommended the City Council adopt the attached Resolution terminating the Proclamation of the existence of a local emergency. Terminating the local emergency would not impact the City's compliance with any existing State and County health orders that remain in place nor jeopardize any pending FEMA or other pandemic-related reimbursements or grants.

BUDGET IMPACT
None.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 8.

FROM: Matt Burton, Director of Finance and Administrative Services DATE: 03/28/2022
SUBJECT: Receive and File the Investment Report for the Month Ended February 28, 2022

RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the attached investment report.

DISCUSSION
California Government Code Section 53607 and Cypress Municipal Code Section 2-18(f) requires the submission of a monthly investment report to the City Council. As of February 28, 2022, the City had $181.2 million (current market value) in cash and investments and the interest return (yield) on the public funds investments was 0.31%. As required by government code, all investments are in conformity with the City's investment policy and sufficient cash flows are available to meet the next six months of estimated expenditures.

The attached Summary of Cash and Investments presents the investments held by the City of Cypress as of February 28, 2022. The Investment Report consists of the following five summaries:

1. Summary of Cash and Investments - Provides the total portfolio of the City.

Changes in Cash and Investments - Provides a two-month cash flow analysis by fund type. These separate fund types allow for restricted monies to be segregated and tracked separately. The total ending amount agrees to the current market value shown in the Summary of Cash and Investments.

2. Investments at Market Value by Maturity Date - Provides a list of investments by maturity date, and an indication of the liquidity (ability to turn into cash) of the investments. The California Government Code restricts the type of investments eligible for public funds. The City’s Investment Policy further defines permitted investments.

These restrictions in investment types and the terms of allowable investments result in limited yields on City investments.

3. Interfund Investments - Shows the amount of loans between City funds. There is a loan outstanding from the Infrastructure Reserve Fund to the Cypress Recreation and Park District General Fund relating to Lexington Park. The loan is for an amount not to exceed $12,800,000 as reimbursement for construction costs incurred.

4. exceed $12,800,000 as reimbursement for construction costs incurred.

Summary of Cash and Investments Held by Fiscal Agent and In Trust - Shows the investments held by fiscal agents for the benefit of bondholders of City-issued debt as well as investments held in trust by the Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) for offsetting unfunded pension liabilities. The amounts held by fiscal agents are restricted to making future debt service payments and the pension trust amounts can only be used for future pension obligations. The legal restrictions on the allowable investment types are less restrictive than those in the City's portfolio, which provides the potential for higher yields to be earned on investments held by fiscal agents and in the pension trust.

5. As mentioned previously, the City had $181.2 million (current market value) in cash and investments at February 28, 2022. The investments included Federal Agencies Debt ($6.8 million) and Investment Pools ($169.3 million). The City's bank accounts held $5.1 million on February 28, 2022.

The majority of the investment portfolio is with the State Investment Pool (Local Agency Investment Fund or LAIF) in which the State’s investment experts provide a diversified investment pool for local agencies to invest. By using the combined size of the participating cities and agencies, the State Pool can provide better yield, liquidity and investment knowledge than otherwise would be available to a single entity. The City has also invested in CalTRUST, which is a joint powers authority (JPA) investment pool option for public agencies. Expanding the pooled investment options provides flexibility and liquidity until market yields increase.

The amount of cash in the City’s checking accounts fluctuates based on the maturity of investments, daily cash receipts, and when vendors and employees are paid. The daily balances maintained in the checking accounts provide credits which offset monthly bank charges. In addition to the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC) which insures the first $250,000, excess checking deposits are secured by banks, government, or mortgage securities valued between 110% and 150% of the deposits.

BUDGET IMPACT
None.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 9.

FROM: Matt Burton, Director of Finance and Administrative Services DATE: 03/28/2022
SUBJECT: Approve Register of Warrants, Transfers, and Wires Issued for the Period of February 26, 2022 through March 11, 2022

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the attached payment register summarized below for the period of February 26, 2022 through March 11, 2022:

Payroll Transfers W1470

DISCUSSION
Payments to vendors for goods and services received and/or rendered are initiated and approved by the requesting department in accordance with proper purchasing guidelines.

Processing of these payments occurs centrally in the City's Finance Department with payments issued bi-weekly. A register listing of these payments is then presented to the City Council for approval. This register also includes any Electronic Funds Transfers (EFT), outgoing payroll transfers or wires issued since the previous register was presented to the City Council. Voided Payments (if any) are also included at the end of the register.

All payments are processed on the City's financial management software system. This system generates a payment batch register, sorted by warrant number (or EFT/Wire number), and presents the invoice amount and a description of the payment issued.

BUDGET IMPACT
Total warrants, transfers, and wires issued (net of any voided payments) during the period of February 26, 2022 through March 11, 2022 are $1,535,802.77.

LEGAL REVIEW
None required.
