________________________________________________________________________________________________________ City Council Action:
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Ashley Jones, City Manager
Kristen M. Crane, Assistant City Manager
Sarah Krietor, Acting City Clerk/Senior Management Analyst DATE: March 9, 2022
SUBJECT: 2022 City Council Goal Setting Workshop
REQUESTED ACTION/RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council review the current Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-2022 and FY 2022-2023 City Council Priority and Operational Special Projects Work Plan (Attachment A) including new, necessary staff-identified Work Plan Items, as well as potential work plan items for consideration identified by the City Council (Attachment B) and proposed advisory committee work plan items (Attachment C) and provide feedback and direction to staff in preparation for the FY 2022-2023 Budget Update process.
BACKGROUND:
Typically, at the beginning of each calendar year, in preparation for the budget development process for the upcoming fiscal year, the City Council holds a public workshop to review current goals and priorities and determine its goals and priorities for the coming fiscal year and beyond, which helps guide the City’s work plan and identifying the necessary budgetary and staffing resources. However, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic (pandemic), the City Council did not hold standalone goal setting workshops in 2020 or 2021. Instead City Council directed the City’s work plan solely through the budgeting process, and operational efforts were shifted towards the City’s pandemic response with an emphasis on providing critical/essential services given the City’s significant pandemic-related budget and staffing constraints.
As the City’s finances have begun to slowly recover and previously reduced staffing levels due to the pandemic have been partially restored, the City Council approved an increased work plan during the FY 2021-2022 and FY 2022-2023 budgeting process, and operations are primarily still restricted to Tier 1 and 2 items only. At this time, City staff is working at maximum capacity to continue to make strides on the important projects identified in the current FY 2021-22 work plan.
1 March 9, 2022 Item 01
City Council Agenda Report
2022 Goals/Priorities Setting Workshop
March 9, 2022
On February 7, 2022, the City Council reviewed a proposed outline for the 2022 Goals & Priorities Setting Workshop (Workshop) and provided direction to staff. As outlined, the Workshop will provide the City Council an opportunity to review the City’s current FY 2021-2022 and FY 2022-2023 City Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and Special projects in the context of the City’s current financial position, necessary daily operations, staffing constraints, and potential additional Work Plan items identified by the City Council and the newly restarted City advisory committees.
Financial Position
In advance of the 2022 Goal Setting Workshop, the City Council will receive a comprehensive mid-year financial report for FY 2021-2022 on March 7, 2022. The report indicates that while overall the City’s finances are improving and revenues are coming in higher than anticipated, the City continues to significantly limit spending in all areas, not all operational services have been fully restored, and revenues have not yet recovered to pre-pandemic levels.
As City revenues continue to recover over time, staff continues to identify and recommend the funding needed in order to gradually return to pre-COVID staffing and operational service levels, and to take on additional CIP and special projects. For example, staff recommended landscaping services be restored to pre-pandemic levels as part of the mid-year financial report to City Council on March 7, 2022. A particular challenge the City Council faces during this goal setting process is balancing the City’s special project and CIP Work Plan with the need to restore operational services.
City Operations
Most of the City’s non-management/professional staff spend 100% of their time on City operations. And, generally the City’s management/professional level staff spend about 80% of their time (or more depending on the position) administering the daily operations of the City, leaving about 20% of their time available to work on discretionary programs, special projects, and CIP projects. To provide context on how the City spends the majority of its staff resources on day-to-day operations, Attachment D includes a summary of the daily operations for each department. All City departments have heavy operational responsibilities and provide critical services to the community. Some operational items, such as administering the November 2022 Municipal Election, require significant staff time but are not included on the Goals & Priorities Work Plan because they are cyclical and non-discretionary.
Staffing Capacity Nexus to City Council Work Plan and Goals The City benefits greatly from a small team of dedicated, qualified employees who work diligently to provide the community with a high level of service through daily operations, while completing complex special and CIP projects to move Del Mar forward and achieve City Council goals. It is important to remember that in order to maintain a balanced budget during COVID, the City reduced staffing through furloughs (from July 2020-July 2021), 2 March 9, 2022 Item 01
City Council Agenda Report
2022 Goals/Priorities Setting Workshop
March 9, 2022
layoffs, transfers, and attrition by not filling vacant positions. The City’s staffing structure has not been fully restored to pre-COVID levels.
Additionally, the Human Resources division is currently working to fill several critical vacancies including Public Works Administrative Assistant, Senior Lifeguard and Senior Planner. At the same time, the City Manager is assessing the City’s overall organizational structure to make a recommendation to City Council on how to proceed with the vacant Administrative Services Director position and arrange City staffing overall to maximize productivity.
With the City’s current staffing constraints, staff is operating at maximum capacity to respond to the City’s operational needs and keep current Work Plan projects on track. At this time, staff does not anticipate having much, if any, additional capacity to add new items to the current Work Plan beyond what has been identified in the Work Plan (Attachment A).
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
To facilitate City Council discussion, staff prepared a Work Plan summary table (Attachment A) which will be reviewed as part of the workshop. Following review of the Work Plan, staff recommends City Council review the Council-identified (Attachment B) and advisory committee-identified potential work plan items (Attachment C) and identify which items the City Council would like to prioritize for consideration for the FY 2022-2023 Budget Update.
Review of FY 2021-2022 & FY 2022-2023 Current Work Plan Given that the current budget cycle is well underway and that many of the Work Plan items are multi-year projects, staff has prepared a two-year FY 2021-2022 and FY 2022- 2023 Work Plan which includes current work plan items and a status for each, along with an overview of new staff-identified priority projects. The Work Plan (Attachment A) is organized by department and uses the City’s established tiered priority system with three tiers: Tier 1 (essential services), Tier 2 (important items that support City operations/values) and Tier 3 (non-essential items that could be differed or eliminated).
Staff-Identified Work Plan Items
While staff works to identify all required Work Plan items for City Council consideration during the budget development process, new essential or important projects arise throughout the year due to various circumstances such as City Council direction, legislative changes, or unforeseen challenges. Accordingly, the attached Work Plan includes several staff-identified Tier 1 and 2 items that have surfaced since the City Council adopted the current budget last June. Due to their essential or practical nature, staff recommends that all of these items be included in the City’s Work Plan. These items are summarized below and are also included on the attached Work Plan (Attachment A), listed by department, which includes any known estimated costs. 3 March 9, 2022 Item 01
City Council Agenda Report
2022 Goals/Priorities Setting Workshop
March 9, 2022
Administrative Services Department: Updating the City’s Reserve Policy; establishment of a Section 115 Trust Fund related to pensions; research and implementation of a credit card transaction fee; updating the City’s Cost Allocation Plan; certification of the City’s investment policy through the California Municipal Treasurers Association (CMTA) Investment Policy Certification Program; and accounts payable (A/P) process streamlining.
• City Manager’s Office: Implementation of mandatory SB 1383 organics recycling requirements; completion of the State and County-required Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan; completion of Telecommunications Master License Agreements; administration of the many provisions of the Referendum Withdrawal Agreement to ensure all items are completed as required; and updating the Emergency Operations Plan. Though most of these items are not anticipated to require budget adjustments, they will require significant staff time from the Environmental Sustainability and Special Projects Manager, estimated at 40% of their time in FY 2021-2022 and 30% of their time in FY 2022-2023. • Community Services Department: Request for Qualifications (RFQ) vendor selection process for a parking citation processing system. • Planning & Community Development Department: Housing Acceleration Program (HAP) grant management and paid parking Costal Development Permit process. • Public Works Department: Purchase and implementation of traffic signal backup power systems; consideration of terminating City of San Diego Wastewater Transportation and Disposal Agreements; 20th Street Lifeguard Tower driveway; and completion of 29th Street Seawall and Beach Access Area.
The Public Works list also includes the Hoska Alley development project and pickleball pilot study, which the Council directed be included on the list of potential Work Plan items to be considered. At this time, due to the further vetting of potential community impacts that Council identified, and staff agrees, would need to be done in order to consider a Pickleball Pilot Program, staff recommends that this project be tabled for consideration as part of the next two year budget process or later.
Council-Identified Interests and Potential Work Plan Items Periodically, Councilmembers identify potential projects for the City Council to consider adding to existing or future work plans. Based on City Council feedback over the last year, staff has prepared a “wish list” of Council-identified potential Work Plan items for City Council discussion and feedback. Given the significant two-year work plan currently underway, and limited staffing capacity and financial resources, there is little opportunity 4 March 9, 2022 Item 01
City Council Agenda Report
2022 Goals/Priorities Setting Workshop
March 9, 2022
to add new items to the Work Plan at this time unless some current Work Plan items are deferred.
However, as part of the Workshop, staff would like the Council to review the “wish list” identify and prioritize potential Work Plan items for staff to further research and return to Council with a more defined scope of work, necessary staffing resources, and estimated costs. This information could be considered as part of the FY 2022-23 Budget Update process and revisited again as part of the next two-year budget process.
Advisory Committee Work Plans
The City benefits from having many qualified volunteers serving on City Advisory Committees, which aid the City and City Council in achieving work plan goals. After a nearly two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, City Advisory Committees have resumed meeting under a new City Council-approved committee system that includes a process in which the Advisory Committees propose work plans for City Council consideration. Staff has prepared a table of City Advisory Committee Work Plan items (Attachment C), which includes each items’ nexus to the current City Work Plan and City operations, and identifies which items are not considered operational or related to City Council Work Plan items.
At this time, staff does anticipate having much, if any, additional capacity or resources to work on Advisory Committee proposed Work Plan items that are not related to identified City Council goals or the City’s current work plan or operations. Staff recommends that the City Council review the summary table and provide feedback to staff on which items the City Council may wish to consider adding to the City’s Work Plan for the remainder of this fiscal year or during FY 2022-23.
Next Steps
Staff will use the feedback and direction provided by the City Council during the Workshop to finalize a Work Plan for Council consideration as part of the FY 2022-23 Budget Process, which will include any necessary budget adjustments and additional staffing resources.
