CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 TO PURCHASE ORDER AGREEMENT NO. 39598 INCREASING THE ANNUAL

PURCHASE AMOUNT OF FERRIC SULFATE FOR THE ESCONDIDO-VISTA WATER TREATMENT PLANT

DEPARTMENT
Utilities Department, Water Division

RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-59, authorizing the Director of Finance to execute a Change Order increasing the annual purchase order for Ferric Sulfate by $200,000 (“Change Order”).

Staff Recommendation: Approval (Utilities: Angela Morrow) Presenter: Reed Harlan, Assistant Director of Utilities - Water ESSENTIAL SERVICE – Yes, Clean Water
COUNCIL PRIORITY – Improve Public Safety

FISCAL ANALYSIS
Funding for the Change Order is available in the operating budget of the Water Enterprise Fund.

PREVIOUS ACTION
On May 25, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-51, authorizing the unit pricing for seventeen chemicals, effective July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, to be used at the Escondido -Vista Water Treatment Plant (“WTP”), Hale Avenue Resource Recovery Facility (“HARRF”), and the Membrane Filtration Reverse Osmosis (“MFRO”) Facility. The City Council authorized the option to renew for four, one-year periods, conditioned upon budget appropriations.

On June 7, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-61, a ccepting the chemical unit price increases and authorizing the Finance Manager to execute purchase orders for the 2023-2024 fiscal year, effective July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024 , and authorizing the City Manager to approve of chemical unit price increases , including those greater than 10 percent, for the three remaining one -year period options to renew.
28 Item6.

BACKGROUND
Ferric sulfate is the main coagulant used for the removal of suspended organics and i norganics in raw water sources. Local water is less expensive than purchasing imported water, however, the treatment of local water requires up to four times the amount of ferric sulfate due to the higher content of organics and inorganics. This past winter the City of Escondido (“City”) was able to capitalize on local area runoff and direct rainfall into Lakes Dixon and Wohlford, reducing the amount of imported water purchased from the San Diego County Water Authority, allowing the Water Treatment Plant to treat a raw water blend of approximately 40 percent for the past five months.

Based on increased usage, City staff have determined that funds in the ferric sulfate Purchase Order No. 39598 are anticipated to be exhausted before the end of Fiscal Year 2023-2024. Accordingly, City staff now seek approval of the $200,000 Change Order for ferric sulfate resulting from the increased need. The requested Change Order exceeds the City Manager’s authority under Escondido Municipal Code § 10- 138(c). Accordingly, City Council approval for the Change Order is now being sought.

47% vote no on increasing housing limits in
Escondido’s residential-zoned lands
Question 38: Like all cities in California, Escondido has a General Plan which governs future development in the City. Proposition S, approved by Escondido voters in 1998, prohibits the adoption of General Plan Amendments and Specific Plans which increase residential density, change General Plan residential land use categories, or change certain residential designations such as Rural, Estate, Suburban, and Urban to a commercial or industrial designation without voter approval. Repealing Proposition S would allow the City Council to approve new residential development projects that would otherwise require voter approval and would bring local laws in line with state law If the election were held today, how would you vote on the following measure? “Shall the General Plan be amended to change the process for increasing housing limits in Escondido’s residential-zoned lands from the current electoral process to a public hearing process with input from homeowners, the public and City Planning Department?”

Cannabis retailers may be required to provide education to help raise awareness of potential health impacts, positive and negative, associated with cannabis consumption Residents and visitors could buy locally, reducing traffic and greenhouse gas emissions [SPLIT A] There is no efficient way to judge driver impairment based on cannabis usage Cannabis was once a natural plant, but today's recreational cannabis has been extracted, manipulated, and concentrated into a substance that is highly addictive and dangerous Local cannabis businesses in other parts of California have been linked to neighborhood degradation and depressed property values in zip codes in which the retail outlets are located Young people would be targeted.

USER AND REGULATORY FEE STUDY WORKSHOP

DEPARTMENT
Finance

RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council provide direction regarding the results of the User and Regulatory Fee Study prepared by ClearSource.

Staff Recommendation: Provide Direction (Finance: Christina Holmes, Director of Finance) Presenter: Christina Holmes, Director of Finance and Terry Madsen, President of ClearSource Financial Consulting
ESSENTIAL SERVICE – Police Services; Fire/EMS Services; Keep City Clean for Public Health and Safety; Land Use/Development; Clean Water; Sewer; Public Works/Infrastructure; Maintenance o f Parks facilities/Open Spaces
COUNCIL PRIORITY – Eliminate Structural Deficit

FISCAL ANALYSIS

If the amended fees proposed in the Study (Attachment “ 1”) are adopted by the City Council, the anticipated fiscal impact of the proposed fee changes is approximately $1,270,000.

PREVIOUS ACTION

A comprehensive user fee study was last performed by a consultant in FY2019/20 and adopted by the City Council on April 8, 2020.

BACKGROUND

California cities regularly conduct these studies to justify fee amounts imposed and to optimize the overall portfolio of revenues available to the municipality to fund its services. Industry practice and fiscal conditions in the state have led most cities to link cost recovery for services of individual action, cause, or 73 Item9.

benefit to that same individual through user fee revenue, relieving the agency’s general revenues as much as possible for use toward services of broader community benefit.

Recovering the costs of providing fee -related services directly influences the City’s fiscal health and increases the City’s ability to meet the service level expectations of fee payers.

The services for which the City imposes a user or regulatory fee typically derive from an individual person or entity’s action, request, or behavior. Therefore, except in cases where there is an overwhelming public benefit generated by the City’s involvement in the individual action, a fee for service ensures that the individual bears most, if not all, of the cost incurred by the City to provide that service. When a fee targets “100% or full cost recovery,” the individual is bearing the entirety of the cost. When a fee targets less than full cost recovery, another City revenue source – in most cases, the General Fund – subsidizes the individualized activity.

Generally, fees for service are targeted to full cost recovery, inclusive of operating, direct, indirect, and capital costs, except in cases where the City Council cites a public interest in lower fees. The City may also be influenced by market conditions, comparing to municipalities of similar size and service profile.

User and Regulatory Fee Study
The results of the User and Regulatory Fee Study are provided in Attachment “ 1”. During the course of the study, information and analysis was generated and is discussed substantively throughout the fee study report and its technical appendices. However, summarized in the following findings statements by broad fee category, are outcomes and proposals of particular interest to City leaders and policymakers.

 Development-related and operational permitting fees are proposed for adjustment to more closely align to the City’s cost of service.
o Building Fees: target full cost recovery.
o Current Planning Fees, Engineering Fees, and Fire Prevention Fees: Generally, target full cost recovery for most services. However, initial fee adjustments have been capped in order to phase-in fee increases where more than 50 percent adjustment to costs would be required.

 Community Services Rental Fees are recommended for adjustment. o Proposed adjustments continue to prioritize the City’s residents and non-profit renters by providing reduced rental rates for those users as opposed to non -resident and commercial users, which are assessed the full cost to provide the service.

 Public Works Fees have been calculated to allow the City to fully recover the costs of:
o Special event support provided by Public Works staff. o Over street banner hanging.
74 Item9.

 Police Fees are collected for certain discrete services required/requested. Many police fees a re limited by State Law. For fees set by the City, fee amounts have been adjusted to reflect the City’s cost of service. Fees for police range facilities are also proposed for adjustment. Facility rental rates are based on the market demand for reserved facility use.

 Utility Service Fees (Non-rate fees) are proposed to be adjusted to reflect the City’s current costs of service. Several of these fee -related services, require materials (e.g., meters) that have increased in costs over the last several yea rs. These material cost increases are reflected in the proposed fees. In addition, new fees are recommended to recover the costs of services provide by the city not currently on the fee schedule.

 Banner Hanging. The City charges a $40 fee for hanging banners over streets for special events.

Hanging over street banners requires special equipment; therefore, the city has engaged with a consultant to provide this service. The consultant fees are $1,200, the City absorbs the remaining costs, a 3 percent cost recovery rate. In 2023, the City hung a total of 11 banners, of those, 8 were paid, and 3 were City sponsored events (Fire and Water Expo, National Night Out, and Free E - Waste Shred Event).

The City operates a Hero banner program that honors men and women who serve, or have served, in the U.S. Armed Forces, and First Responders by offering personalized banners that will be hung around downtown Escondido. Banner hanging services are also provided by a consulta nt; however, the current fees cover the full cost of this service.

 Business License Application Fee. Staff are recommending adding a flat fee of $25 to cover the costs associated with each business license application review.

Regional Fee Comparison
Similar fees are collected by communities throughout the region and the State. The proposed fee amounts do not exceed the City’s cost of service and are in -range of amounts charged by other jurisdictions. In order to provide the City Council with additi onal information as it considers potential adjustments to fees, current and proposed fees were compared to amounts collected by other agencies.

The City of Escondido, consistent with other cities throughout the State, has an existing fee schedule that contemplates hundreds of potential unique requests for service. This can result in thousands of fee scenarios when comparing among multiple agencies. Consequently, an exhaustive comparison of the hundreds, and potentially thousands of scenarios is unreali stic. Instead, comparison information for several targeted fee categories (e.g., high volume categories, fee categories of particular interest to community, etc.) are provided in order to provide City Council with a reasonable sense of changes expected.

75 Item9.

For Escondido, outcomes will show that new fees may range from low, mid, to upper end of regional fee spectrum depending on the service provided. This is common among municipalities due to differing levels of service and review included among various fee categories.

NEXT STEPS

With the direction from the City Council received on June 5, 2024, a Public Hearing will be held on June 19, 2024, for the adoption of the amended fee schedule establishing and updating user and regulatory fees.

FUTURE FEE UPDATES

User fees should be updated annually to keep pace with rising costs over time. A common method of adjusting fees is to evaluate regional cost indicators, such as the Consumer Price Index to ensure that the City receives appropriate fees for work being conducted. Staff recommends annually adjusting user fees by July 1, 2024, utilizing an inflation factor equal to changes in the San Diego area’s Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers published by the US Department of Labor, Bureau of Statistic s. This approach is consistent with other jurisdictions in the region for evaluating their annual user fee adjustments. The proposed CPI adjusted fee updates will be reflected in an annual fee Resolution to City Council and in accordance with the requirements pursuant to Government Code Section 66000, et seq.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

STUDY OVERVIEW
The City of Escondido has completed a User and Regulatory Fee Study. California cities regularly conduct these studies to justify fee amounts imposed and to optimize the overall portfolio of revenues available to the municipality to fund its services.

Industry practice and fiscal conditions in the state have led most cities to link cost recovery for services of individual action, cause, or benefit to that same individual through user fee revenue, relieving the agency’s general revenues as much as possible for use toward services of broader community benefit.

USER AND REGULATORY FEES
Cities derive annual revenue from a numbe r of sources. These include, but are not limited to, property taxes, sales taxes, license fees, franchise fees, fines, rents, and user and regulatory fees. User and regulatory fees are intended to cover all, or a portion of, the costs incurred by the City for providing fee-related services and activities that are not otherwise provided to those not paying the fee.

California law provides guidance regarding the amounts the City may charge for fee-related services and activities. Specifically, in order to avoid being considered taxes, the fees charged shall not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the services, activities, or materials for which fees are charged.

COST RECOVERY POLICY AND PRACTICE
Recovering the costs of providing fee -related services directly influences the City’s fiscal health and increases the City’s ability to meet the service level expectations of fee payers.

The services for which the City imposes a user or regulatory fee typically derive from an individual person or entity’s action, request, or behavior. Therefore, except in cases where there is an overwhelming public benefit generated by the City’s involveme nt in the individual action, a fee for service ensures that the individual bears most, if not all, of the cost incurred by the City to provide that service . When a fee targets “100% or full cost recovery,” the individual bears the entirety of the cost. When a fee targets less than full cost recovery, another City revenue source – in most cases, the General Fund – subsidizes the individualized activity.

A sample of cost recovery policy information is included on the following page.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

COST RECOVERY

THRESHOLD CHARACTERISTIC OF THE SERVICE / ACTION
“NONE”
No Recovery of
the Costs of
Service

• Acute interest in protecting:
- Public safety
- Integrity of City infrastructure, assets, and operations - Vulnerable populations
• Collection of fees is not feasible or cost-effective

“VERY LOW”
Up to 25% of the
Full Cost of
Service

• Though characteristics of the service yield great public benefits, some level of fee on the individual is warranted to recognize value of the service provided and to support desired outcomes in either process or behavior
• Individualized service particularly relates to or impacts vulnerable populations • Services stem from community-led initiatives or events

“LOW”
26% to 50% of
the Full Cost of
Service

• The broader public greatly benefits from the individual service provided • Larger fee amounts may discourage compliance with City requirements • Market sensitivities may negatively impact demand for services deemed important to the character of the community
• City policy directs an influence on fee amounts for:
- Concern for low-income participation
- Concern for specific sectors, such as owner-occupied residences or small business - Priority for resident participation, versus non-resident

“MODERATE”
Greater than 50%
of the Full Cost of
Service

• While the individual benefits greatly from service provided, public benefit or public interest in compliance/participation is present
• Factors described in lower thresholds retain some influence • Though service benefits the individual to a high degree, fee levels should be sensitive to the encouragement of current City initiatives

“FULL”
100% of the Full
Cost of Service

• Service benefits the individual to a great degree
• Service is highly regulatory
• Fee amounts do not materially impact compliance or demand • Fee amounts for comparable service are in line with other regional communities • The City discourages the activity

“PENALTY”
Greater than Full
Cost
• Must be a fine/penalty for non-compliance with City code

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

FINDINGS AND PROPOSED ACTION
During the course of study, information and analysis was generated and is discussed substantively throughout this report and its technical appendices. However, summarized in the following findings statements by broad fee category, are outcomes and proposals of particular interest to City policymakers.

• Development-related and operational permitting fees are proposed for adjustment to more closely align to the City’s cost of service.
o Building Fees: target full cost recovery
o Current Planning Fees, Engineering Fees, and Fire Prevention Fees: Generally, target full cost recovery for most services. However, initial fee adjustments have been capped in order to phase -in fee increases where more than 50% adjustment to costs would be required.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Regional Fee Comparison
Similar fees are collected by communities throughout the region and the State. The proposed fee amounts do not exceed the City’s cost of service and are in -range of amounts charged by other jurisdictions.

In order to provide the City Council with additional information as it considers potential adjustments to fees, current and proposed fees were compared to amounts collected by other agencies . For sampling purposes the fee comparison examined fees for:
• City of San Marcos
• City of Oceanside
• City of Poway
• City of Vista
• Other California Cities (Southern, Central, Northern CA) with populations greater than 100,000

Of note:
• The City of Poway’s most recent building fee update was in 2014 (i.e., 10 years ago) • The City of San Marcos’s most recent fee update appears to be 2001 (i.e., 20+ years ago) • The City of Vista updates fees annually to reflect inflationary changes • San Marcos, Oceanside, and San Diego use alternative structure for calculating building fees that doesn’t allow for apples-to-apples comparison.

The City of Escondido, consistent with other cities throughout the State, has an existing fee schedule that contemplates hundreds of potential unique requests for service. This can result in thousands of fee scenarios when comparing among multiple agencies. Consequently, an exhaustive comparison of the hundreds, and potentially thousands of scenarios is unrealistic. Instead, comparison information for several targeted fee categories (e.g., high volume categories, fee categories of particular interest to community, etc.) are provided in order to provide City Council with a reasonable sense of changes expected.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Fiscal Impact
The anticipated fiscal impact of the proposed changes included in the fee schedule update is $1,270,000.

Fairly allocating costs to the services provided and recovering some, or all, of these costs from service recipients creates value and predictability for City customers and reimburses the City for services provided to a single party, as compared to the public at large. Collecting fees for services:
 Increases the availability of General Fund revenues to be used for services and activities available to all residents and businesses, such as public safety and public works services.  Helps meet fee-payer service level expectations by collecting fees to fund the existing level of services provided.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

SCOPE OF STUDY
The City of Escondido has completed a User and Regulatory Fee Study, which represents an external review of prevailing practices and development of a n updated Schedule of User Fees and Charges .

ClearSource Financial Consulting has prepared this analysis during Fiscal Year 2023/24 and will be available to answer questions as the City proceeds in implementing findings as it chooses.

Key tasks expected by the City from this study included the following:
 Review eligible fee-related services citywide to establish the reasonable relationship between current fees for service and the underlying costs of service.
 Calculate the full cost of service, including estimated citywide overhead costs.  Recommend fees to be charged for each service.
 Recommend cost recovery strategies and best practices in setting fees, while considering the complexities and demands of responsible programs or departments.  Identify underlying billable rates for cost recovery opportunities and as the basis for user fees.  Maintain a thoroughly documented analysis to ensure compliance with Proposition 26, and other statutes, as applicable.

DIRECT SERVICES UNDER REVIEW
Fee Categories
City fees under review in this project focused on direct services eligible for user fee methodology, as listed in the City’s published fee schedules. Current services shown in the City’s various prevailing fee schedules and addressed in this study are summarized as follows:
 Planning – Services include entitlement review and permitting.  Engineering – Services include encroachment permitting, development plan review and inspection.  Building – Building plan review, permitting, and inspection for construction and sub-trades.  Fire Fees – Review of construction and operations for compliance with Fire Code.  Police Fees – For vehicle impound, special service requests, and administrative processing.  Utility Fees – Fees for utility services start-up, fees for turn-on/off due to non-payment, etc.  Community Services / Recreation Fees – Program participation and reserved facility use.  Administration and Finance – Records management activities.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

REASON FOR STUDY
Cities derive annual revenue from a numbe r of sources. These include, but are not limited to, property taxes, sales taxes, franchise fees, fines, rents, and user and regulatory fees. User and regulatory fees are intended to cover all, or a portion of, the costs incurred by a c ity for providing fee -related services and activities that are not otherwise provided to those not paying the fee.

California cities regularly conduct fee studies to justify fee amounts imposed and to optimize the overall body of revenues available to the municipality to fund its services. Widespread industry practice and fiscal conditions in the state have led most cities to link cost recovery for services of individual action, cause, or benefit to that individual through user fee revenue, relieving the agency’s general revenues for servic es of broader community benefit.

PREVAILING GUIDANCE
The objectives of this study, the methodology used to complete the study, and the formulation of outcomes and recommendations for future consideration were significantly influenced by Article 13C of the California Constitution and Section 66014 of the California Government Code.

Article 13C states that the local government bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a levy, charge, or other exaction is not a tax, that the amount is no more than necessary to cover the reasonable costs of the governmental act ivity, and that the manner in which those costs are allocated to a payer bear a fair or reasonable relationship to the payer’s burdens on, or benefits received from, the governmental activity. Additionally, Article 13C identifies the following as items th at are not defined as taxes:
 A charge imposed for a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payer that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege.  A charge imposed for a specific government service or product provided directly to the payer that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product.
 A charge imposed for the reasonable regulatory costs to a local government for issuing licenses and permits, performing investigations, inspections, and audits, enforcing agricultural marketing orders, and the administrative enforcement and adjudication thereof.  A charge imposed for entrance to or use of local government property, or the purchase, rental, or lease of local government property.
 A fine, penalty, or other monetary charge imposed by the judicial branch of government or a local government, as a result of a violation of law.
 A charge imposed as a condition of property development.

Attachment "1"

PROJECT OVERVIEW
 Assessments and property-related fees imposed in accordance with the provisions of Article XIII D.

Section 66014(a) of the California Government Code includes the following, “Notwithstanding any other provision of law, when a local agency charges fees for zoning variances; zoning changes; use permits; building inspections; building permits; …the process ing of maps under the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act…; or planning services…; those fees may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged, unless a question regarding the amount of the fee charged in excess of the estimated reasonable cost of providing the services or materials is submitted to, and approved by, a popular vote of two-thirds of those electors voting on the issue.

The outcomes and recommendations of the study are intended to comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws including providing confirmation that the proposed fees (“charges”) recommended as a result of this study are not taxes as defined in Articl e 13C of the California Constitution and that the proposed fees are no more than necessary to the cover the reasonable costs of the City’s activities and services addressed in the fees. Additionally, this report is intended to show that the manner in which the costs are allocated to a payer bear a fair and reasonable relationship to the payer’s burdens on, or benefits received from the activities and services provided by the City.

METHODOLOGY AND DATA SOURCES
This study calculated the estimated reasonable cost of providing various fee -related services across the City organization. Generally, the estimated reasonable cost of providing the fee -related services and activities examined in this study can be calculated as the product of the composite fully-burdened hourly labor rate of the division responsible for providing services and the estimated labor time required to process a typical request for service.

The composite fully -burdened hourly rates calculated in this study are based on the estimated annual hours spent providing fee related services, and estimated labor, services and supplies, and citywide overhead expenditures, sourced as follows:
 Labor expenditures for in-house personnel were based on budgeted salary and benefits expenditures.  Contract service personnel and other services and supplies related costs were based on Fiscal Year 2023/24 adopted budgets and anticipated costs.
 Citywide overhead cost allocations were based on the City’s current overhead cost allocation plan.  Estimated labor time spent providing fee related services were developed based on interviews with City staff and are in-line with typical direct service ratios experienced by the consultant via studies of similar municipalities throughout California . Commonly used industry data also aided in the development of time estimates and proposed fee structures.

Once cost of service levels are identified, the City may use this information to inform tar geted cost recovery from fees. Fees set at the cost-of-service target full cost recovery. Fees set at any amount less than the cost-of-service target less than full cost recovery.

IMPLEMENTATION

CONSIDERATIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION
If the City decides to adopt or otherwise utilize outcomes generated through this study, it should:
 Update Systems for Fee Outcomes – Ensure that City staff begin using updated fees and associated outcomes once the updated schedule of fees becomes effective. Values should be included in all official fee schedules used throughout the City (e.g., departmental pamphlets, counter schedules, and online information). Additionally, ensure collections processes are updated, which may include coding in billing systems and training for personnel who handle fees directly with the public.  Actively Monitor the Use of Fees – In order to recover accurate and eligible amounts expected, the City should be diligent about tracking time to projects for time and materials billings and ensuring fees are applied in the correct amount and using the correct and intended basis for fixed fee billings.  Monitor Feedback and Permit Statistics – Monitor permit and application volume and applicant feedback to determine if fee modifications are resulting in any unanticipated changes in project frequency and to increase the level of detail available for revenue forecasting.  Annually Review and Adjust Fee Values – In order to generally maintain pace with regional cost inflation and/or the City’s salary cost inflation, the City should adjust its fees on an annual basis . A commonly used, reasonable inflation index is the annual change in the all-urban Consumer Price Index (CPI) representative of the region.
 Periodically Perform Comprehensive Analysis – A comprehensive fee study should be conducted periodically (e.g., every three to five years) to ensure fee levels remain at or below legal limits and are consistent with evolving service practices and local conditions.

Determination of Valuation for Fee-Setting Purposes
● Project valuations shall be based on the total value of all construction work, including all finish work, roofing, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, elevators, fire-extinguishing systems and any other permanent equipment. If, in the opinion of the Building Official, the valuation is underestimated on the application, the permit shall be denied, unless the applicant can show detailed estimates to meet the approval of the Building Official. Final building permit valuation shall be set by the Building Official. For determining project valuations for new construction, the Building Official may use data published by the International Code Council (ICC) (building valuation data table, typically updated in February and August of each year). The final building permit valuation shall be set at an amount that allows the City to recover its costs of applicant plan check, permit and inspection activities.

Note: For construction projects with permit fees calculated using Section B, additional fees apply for permit issuance. Additional fees may apply for services provided by other City Departments (e.g. Planning Review), and Fees Collected on Behalf of Other Agencies (e.g. State of California). Additional fees apply for plan review, when applicable.

B. Permit Fee for New Buildings, Additions, Tenant Improvements, Residential Remodels, and Combined Mechanical, Electrical, and/or Plumbing Permits
Plumbing inspection fees = Base permit fee x .10

FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND FISCAL YEAR 2024/25 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT

PROGRAM BUDGET STATUS

DEPARTMENT
Finance

RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council to review the proposed Fiscal Year 2024/25 Five-Year Capital Improvement Program and Budget and authorize staff to return with the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Capital Improvement Program and Budget for final adoption on June 19, 2024.

Staff Recommendation: Provide Direction (Finance: Christina Holmes, Director of Finance) Presenter: Lyn Cruz, Accountant II

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The Preliminary Five-Year Capital Improvement Program and Budget document can be viewed on the City’s website: https://escondido.gov/187/Capital-Improvement-Program.

PREVIOUS ACTION
The preliminary Five-Year CIP and FY2023/24 CIP Budget update was taken to the City Council on May 22, 2023. The City Council approved the Five-Year CIP and Budget for FY2023/24 on June 21, 2023.

BACKGROUND
The Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”) is a five -year planning tool for major infrastructure, capital construction, improvements, maintenance projects, and other non‐capital type projects to accommodate restricted funding requirements. The CIP budget is adopted for a single year only, but the plan includes projected programming over a five -year period. T he budget is updated and developed annually with a review of on -going projects, determination of available funding, and evaluation and prioritization of projects that respond to current needs and priorities of the City of Escondido (“City”).

Section 1 of the linked Preliminary CIP Budget lists the staff recommendations of projects to be funded in the FY2024/25 Five-Year Capital Improvement Program. A detailed description of each project and the 233
Item10.

funding source is provided, sorted by the type of project: General City, Parks and Recreation, Public Safety, Public Works, Streets, Wastewater Utilities and Water Utilities.

Section 2 of the linked Preliminary CIP Budget lists the unfunded future capital projects and the deferred maintenance and replacement projects that we are unable to fund through operations.

A description of funding sources and projected available balances and uses are listed in Section 3 of the Preliminary CIP Budget. Nearly all capital projects in the City are paid for using funds which are restricted in some fashion by the funding source:
 Gas Tax, Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation funds, and Transnet funding account for a majority of the City’s $14 million in street projects.
 Development Impact fees, including Park Development, Public Art, Public Facilities, Storm Drain, and Traffic Impact Fees, are collected for the purpose of mitigating the impact of the development on the community. As the City continues to experience growth and expansion resulting from new development, it is ant icipated that in FY2024/25, approximately $6.1 million from collections of development impact fees will be available to support appropriate projects.  Water and Wastewater Capital Projects totaling $3.9 million this year are funded by a combination of customer fees.

NOISE ORDINANCE

DEPARTMENT
City Attorney’s Office and Police Department

RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council receive a presentation on the City's current noise ordinance.

Staff Recommendation: None (Police Department: Edward Varso, Chief of Police) Presenter: Ryan Banks, Police Captain
ESSENTIAL SERVICE – Yes, Police Services
COUNCIL PRIORITY – Eliminate Structural Deficit; Improv e Publi c Safety; Increase Retention and Attraction of People and Businesses to Escondido;

BACKGROUND
Between 2020 and 2023, the Escondido Police Department received an annual average of 73,135 calls for service. Each year approximately 2.8 percent of these calls for service (2066) were noise related.

Noise related calls are labeled as general noise complaints, barking dogs and party related. The characterization will vary based on the caller’s complai nt. General noise complaints may include loud talking, landscape maintenance, and construction noise. In 2023, the Escond ido Police Department received approximately 1800 general noise complaints, 155 related to loud parties and 55 barking dog complaints.

Although the Escondido Police Department does not currently track noise complaints related to short term rental properties, an analysis of the 2023 noise complaints revealed three short term rental properties generated 9 of the 155 loud party complaints.

The Escondido Police Department responds to most noise complaints as Priority 4 calls. Barking dog complaints are the lowest Priority 5 calls. Police response to Priority 4 and 5 calls will be delayed when available police assets are busy with higher priority calls. 235
Item11.

State and federal constitutional law prohibit most restrictions on free speech. Reasonable regulations on volume of speech are permissible but prohibition of all loud speech is not. California law prohibit noise that is maliciously and willfully intended to disturb others , Cal. Penal Code Section 415, see Attachment (1). Someone acts maliciously when he or she intentionally does a wrongful act or when he or she acts with the unlawful intent to annoy or injure someone else. Someone commits an act willfully when he or she does it willingly or on purpose.

Cal. Penal Code section 415 is commonly known as “disturbing the peace.” Properly construed, the term “noise” as used in disturbing the peace statute encompasses communications made in loud manner only when there is clear and present danger of violence or when communication is not intended as such but is merely guise to disturb persons. The distinction between protected communications and noise intended to disturb others can create a significant enforcement challenge.

The Escondido Police Department does not respond to noise complaints unless a person agrees to sign a citizen’s arrest form. One of the requirements for enforcement of the California Penal Code is a person’s peace must be disturbed. In California, a police officer’s “ peace” cannot be disturbed. This requires law enforcement to have a victim who is willing to sign a citizen’s arrest to enforce.

The Escondido Municipal Code Noise Abatement Article, see Attachment (2), also provides enforcement authority similar to that found under the California Penal Code. But, the enforcement of local laws must navigate similar constitutional rights to free speech.
