Department Recommendation:
Staff recommends that Council award and authorize the City Administrator to execute an agreement with the lowest responsible bidder, Talley Oil, Inc. of Madera, CA, in an amount of $205,865.50 for construction of the 2022 Reclamite Project.
Summary:
Using the results of Infrastructure Management Service's (IMS) survey as a guide, staff completed a secondary visual survey to determine which City streets could potentially benefit from a lower- cost maintenance treatment such as reclamite, thin skin patching, slurry seal, cape seal or crack sealing. The surveys identified several areas throughout the City that required remedial repair work prior to receiving any of the aforementioned low-cost maintenance treatments. This remedial repair work was recently completed through a contract with Galante Brothers Contractors. Public Works staff is now preparing contracts for the low-cost maintenance treatments.
A project was developed for the roadways whose current conditions would benefit from reclamite treatment. The roadways selected for this treatment are shown on the attached map. On April 4, 2022, staff advertised a Request for Bids (RFB 22-003) for the Reclamite project and received one (1) construction bid on May 18, 2022. Talley Oil, Inc. of Madera, CA submitted the only bid in the amount of $205,865.50.
Talley Oil, Inc's bid proposal for this project has been reviewed by staff and all required information submitted has been determined to be complete and responsive.
Background:
At the regularly scheduled Council meeting of February 13, 2018, staff gave a presentation on the condition of the City's streets. Staff recommended that the City should actively inventory its streets, determine which streets would benefit from lower cost maintenance treatments, and implement that program accordingly. A street survey had not been conducted since 2012 so on March 26, 2019, the Council awarded and authorized the City Administrator to execute an agreement with (IMS) to conduct an updated pavement condition survey throughout the City and directed staff to design a maintenance and repair program to maintain streets in the most cost-effective manner possible.
Fiscal Impact: The Council approved CIP schedule for FY 21/22 has funds programmed in the Transportation (113) and Measure R (131) accounts specifically for annual road maintenance projects. In addition to these programmed funding sources, a portion of LTF and Measure P funds could potentially be used also.
Prior Council/Board Actions: None for Reclamite contracts.
Attachments: Exeter Reclamite Project Map 2022
Environmental Clearance: Not applicable for this project.
Recommended motion to be made by Council/Board: I move to award and authorize the City Administrator to execute an agreement with the lowest responsible bidder, Talley Oil, Inc. of Madera, CA, in an amount of $205,865.50 for construction of the 2022 Reclamite Project.

Agenda Item Transmittal
Meeting Date: June 14, 2022
For action by:
Agenda Item Number: E7 X City Council
Wording for Agenda: Adopt Resolution 2022-21 Re-Authorizing Remote Teleconference Meetings of all Legislative Bodies of the Regular Session:
City of Exeter through July 14, 2022, Pursuant to Brown Act X Consent Calendar Provisions (AB 361) due to continued State Declaration of Regular Item Emergency. Public Hearing

Contact Name: Adam Ennis/Shonna Oneal
Phone Number: (559) 592-4539 or (559) 592-9244 City Administrator Email: [email protected] or [email protected] (Initials Required) Department Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council consider and adopt Resolution 2022-21 Re-Authorizing Remote Teleconference Meetings of all Legislative Bodies of the City of Exeter through July 14, 2022 Pursuant to Brown Act Provisions (AB 361) due to continued State Declaration of Emergency.
Summary:
On May 24, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution 2022-17 Reaffirming Its Proclamation of a Local Emergency, Re-Ratifying the Proclamation of a State of Emergency by AB 361 issued on September 16, 2021, and Re-Authorizing Remote Teleconference Meetings of all Legislative Bodies of the City of Exeter through June 23, 2022. Pursuant to Brown Act Provisions. This resolution established the criteria necessary for the City to continue conducting teleconference meetings without compliance with the requirements of Government Code section 54953(b)(s) for a period of thirty (30) days. On March 22, 2022, the Council provided staff with direction to review a hybrid meeting option allowing some members to return in person and some to attend virtually as needed.
Pursuant to AB 361, the City Council must re-consider if a state of emergency exists in the City to continue remote teleconference meetings without compliance with paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Government Code section 54953 every thirty (30) days. Currently, State and local officials continue to promote social distancing measures and City's conference chambers limited capacity could present imminent risk to health and safety of attendees if there is heavy attendance in the chambers. In addition, a State of Emergency has been proclaimed by the Governor of the State of California. By allowing some members of the legislative bodies to attend remotely and some in person, the City can continue to limit capacity in the City's small conference chambers.
Background:
During the past twenty-five (25) months, the City Council and its Legislative bodies have been conducting teleconferencing meetings as allowed for pursuant to a series of executive orders, the most recent which expired September 30, 2021 (Executive Order N-08-021, issued June 11, 2021), which waived all physical presence requirements under the Brown Act as a means of limiting the spread of COVID-19. Recently adopted State law, AB 361, extends the authority of public agencies to conduct meetings by teleconference, including video conference, without compliance with all of the Brown Act's limitations on such meetings, while the state of emergency resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and accompanying recommendations for social distancing remain in place.
Initial reliance on AB 361 requires the following:
1) There must be a proclaimed state of emergency; and
2) One of the following circumstances exist:
a. State or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing; or
b. The legislative body has determined by majority vote that, as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risk to the health or safety of attendees. See Government Code Section 54953(e) (1).
Both these conditions are presently satisfied. The Governor's State of Emergency Declaration, issued on March 4, 2020 remains in place today. The City's declaration of local emergency issued March 24, 2020, remained in place until March 2022. However, the size of the City's conference chambers could be a potential imminent risk to health and safety measures because State and local agencies continue to recommend social distancing as one of the measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and heavy attendance could limit the ability to maintain social Once the initial invocation of AB 361 is made, continued reliance on AB 361 for subsequent meetings requires the following:
1) Either the proclaimed state of emergency remains active or state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing; and 2) Not later than 30 days after teleconferencing for the first time under the AB 361 rules, and every 30 days thereafter, the legislative body, by majority vote, finds that it has reconsidered the circumstances of the emergency and at least one of the following circumstances exists:
a. The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person; or
b. State or local offices continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing.
If a public agency invokes AB 361, the notice and participation requirements for teleconferenced meetings are as follows:
1) Each notice of the meeting and agenda must identify the means by which members of the public may access the meeting and offer public comment by either a call-in option or an internet-based service option;
2) Teleconferenced meetings must be conducted in a manner that protects the statutory and constitutional rights of the parties and the public appearing before the legislative body;
3) Public comments cannot be required to be submitted in advance of the meeting (though this may remain an option);
4) The public must be able to attend the meeting via call-in option or internet-based service option;
5) The public must have an opportunity to address the legislative body directly and offer comment in real time via call-in option or internet-based service option; 6) If there is a disruption that prevents the public agency from broadcasting the meeting using the call-in option or internet-based service option, or if there is a disruption within the public agency's control that prevents members of the public from offering public comments using the call-in option or internet- based service option, the legislative body shall take no further action on items appearing on the agenda until public access to the meeting via the call-in option or internet-based service option is restored; and 7) Where, as in Exeter, the legislative body does not provide a timed public comment period but takes public comment separately on each agenda item, it shall allow a reasonable amount of time per agenda item to allow public members the opportunity to provide public comment, including time for members of the public to be recognized for the purpose of providing public comment. See Government Code Section 54953(e)(2).
In light of AB 361, the continuing State COVID-19 emergency, the continuing recommendations by the State and local officials of social distancing as one mechanism for preventing the spread of COVID-19, and the continued threats to health and safety posed by indoor public meetings with large attendance, staff recommends that Council adopt the proposed resolution making the findings required to continue AB 361. In addition, continuing to follow social distancing guidelines will assist in minimizing the potential for outbreaks in the organization and subsequent scrutiny and actions taken by Cal OSHA based on their current requirements.
Doing so will allow City Council and its legislative bodies meetings to continue to occur by teleconference, but allow for in-person attendance as well, without compliance with the teleconferencing requirements set out in Government Code Section 54953(b) (3) that would otherwise apply. The procedures currently set up for City Council meetings, which provide for public attendance and comment through a call-in or internet-based service option, satisfy the requirements of AB 361.
Continued reliance on AB 361 will require the Council to adopt a new resolution making required findings every 30 days.
Fiscal Impact: None.

City Administrator
Department Recommendation: (Initials Required)
That City Council authorize Department Staff to purchase twenty-five ballistic helmets from Hard Head Veterans in the amount of 0bL. $12,237.50.
Summary/Background:
There exists an expectation that the City and Department will provide our Officers with appropriate safety gear and equipment for them to perform their duties. This includes providing equipment which offers ballistic protection, to provide some semblance of safety for when officers are handling dangerous situations involving armed individuals. Ballistic safety equipment is typically provided in the form of ballistic vests, ballistic shields, and ballistic helmets.
The ballistic helmets currently in use by the Exeter Police Department are more than two decades old. Over the last two decades significant improvements have been made in terms of ballistic protection as well as weight and comfort for ballistic helmets.
Recently Department Staff researched these improvements and the various helmets readily available to identify the current industry standard and their associated costs. As part of this process staff obtained price quotes for twenty five ballistic helmets from three different vendors.
Streichers provided a quote of $14,624.75, Galls provided a quote of $14,375.00, and Hard Head Veterans (HHV) provided a quote of $12,237.50. Department staff is recommending Council authorize the purchase of twenty five ballistic helmets from (HHV).
Fiscal Impact: Currently funds are available for this purchase in the Department's Special Expense Account (141.421.012.000). This purchase can be made without the need for any additional budget appropriations.
Prior Council/Board Actions: None.
Attachments: Copies of the quotes from Streichers, Galls, and HHV.
Recommended motion to be made by Council/Board: I move to authorize Department Staff to purchase twenty-five ballistic helmets from Hard Head Veterans in the amount of $12,237.50.

Department Recommendation:
Approve a request of facility use of Dobson Field for the Exeter Lions Club to host an Independence Day Fireworks Show subject to the terms and conditions presented by staff.
Summary/Background:
It is the request of the Lions Club to host a free community Independence Day fireworks celebration at Dobson Field. This event traditionally draws thousands of people, and the aerial show is enjoyed for many miles. As has been done since the initiation of COVID protocol, the fireworks will be aerial only with no public admittance to Dobson Field or Lion's Stadium. Lions Club members will staff the parking lot to prevent admittance. Due to rising cost, of fireworks, insurance and the pyrotechnic company fees, the Lions Club will host the fireworks event on July 3 rather than July 4t for cost savings. The Lion's Club will:
- 1) Set up the event beginning at 8:00am with clean up concluding prior to 11:00pm. 2) Provide porta potties and handwashing stations, including ADA Accessible units, for volunteers.
3) Staff the parking lot to prevent admittance.
4) Provide all necessary applications, permit fees and insurance documents. 5) Require the use of overhead lighting.
Staff recommends that Council approve the Facility Use Permit Application subject to the above conditions outlined by staff.
Fiscal Impact: None to the City.
Prior Council/Board Actions: None for this event.
Attachments: Request of Special Event Facility Use Application of Exeter Lions Club.
Recommended motion to be made by Council/Board: I move to approve the special event at Dobson Field and the closure of the adjacent parking lot for the Exeter Lions Club on July 3, 2022 from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., subject to the conditions presented by staff.

Agenda Item Transmittal
Meeting Date: June 14, 2022
For action by:
Agenda Item Number: F1 X_City Council
Regular Session:
Wording for Agenda: Public Hearing and Consideration of the Consent Calendar Adoption of an Uncodified Ordinance of the City Council of the City X_ Regular Item of Exeter Adopting a Military Equipment Use Policy per CA X Public Hearing Assembly Bill No. 481.
Review:
Submitting Department: Police Department and City Attorney's City Administrator Office (Initials Required)
Contact Name: Julia M. Lew, City Attorney
Phone Number: 559.734.6729
Email: [email protected]
Department Recommendation:
That the City Council hold the noticed public hearing, and consider whether to adopt and give second reading to the above-referenced draft Ordinance. The proposed ordinance adopts the Police Department's Military Equipment Use Policy as required pursuant to AB 481.
Summary/Background:
Assembly Bill 481, codified at Government Code sections 7070 through 7075 requires a law enforcement agency (LEA) to obtain approval from the applicable governing body, via adoption of a "military equipment" use policy by ordinance, prior to the LEA funding, acquiring, or using military equipment.
The Exeter Police Department (EPD) seeks City Council adoption of the attached Military Equipment Use Policy -704 (Attachment 1), in order to allow EPD to continue to use the vital equipment specified therein.
Items deemed to be "military equipment" by AB 481 are used as a component of overall best practices for LEAs throughout the country. These tools have been tested in the field, and are used by LEAs to enhance citizen safety and officer safety. Loss of these items would jeopardize the welfare of the citizens of Exeter and police officers within the EPD.
The term "military equipment", as used in AB 481, in fact does not necessarily indicate equipment that has been used by the military. Attached to this staff report is an inventory/ list of the Police Department's military equipment, as defined by AB 481. The definition of "military equipment" includes items such as unmanned, remotely piloted aerial or ground vehicles, armored personnel carriers and other vehicles, breaching apparatuses, certain types of firearms and ammunition, explosive breaching tools, and certain projectile launching platforms. Other items deemed to be "military equipment" via AB 481 include foundational equipment such as rifles. These rifles allow peace officers to address lethal threats from a greater distance and with greater precision.
For clarification, AB 481 does not permit the City to utilize aircraft vessels or vehicles that inherently contain weaponry; crew-served/large caliber (.50 or greater) weapons and ammunition; military uniforms; and explosives or pyrotechnics of any kind. Furthermore, aircraft and vehicles are "de-militarized" (meaning specific military technology and communication equipment) are removed prior to transfer to law enforcement agencies.
EPD is committed to using the most up to date tools and equipment to safeguard the citizens of Exeter. Many of the items deemed to be "military equipment" by AB 481 are in fact employed by EPD, and LEA's across the country, in order to specifically reduce risk to community members.
These items provide police officers with the ability to safely resolve volatile situations which otherwise might rise to the level of a lethal force encounter. To that end, the items at issue in this report, and accompanying Military Equipment Use Policy, also provide EPD's police officers with vital tools that facilitate compliance with its stringent use of force policy.
The proposed ordinance seeks to approve the EPD's Policy 704, which constitutes EPD's Military Equipment Use Policy. EPD Policy 704 outlines each item identified in Government Code section 7070, which is currently owned by the City. The Policy also includes the current use and cost of each item (Attachment 2). These particular items, and their stated uses, have been in place prior to the implementation of AB 481. Future acquisitions of any item deemed to be "military equipment," if not previously authorized by the ordinance and/or Policy, will require a further public meeting, policy update, and council approval.
The proposed Ordinance and Policy 704 safeguards the public's welfare, safety, civil rights and civil liberties. The Policy 704 ensures that there are safeguards, including transparency, oversight, and accountability measures in place. For instance, Policy 704 requires that EPD's Investigations/Services Lieutenant will ensure that EPD complies with Policy 704. EPD will conduct an annual audit of military equipment. Members of the public are provided direction per the policy on how to register complaints for violations. All items which result in a use of force will be investigated, as is already required by existing EPD policy.
There are no reasonable alternatives to the items listed below. EPD has not discovered alternative items that can achieve the same objectives of officer and civilian safety. Each item's necessity is further described below:
Unmanned remotely piloted powered aerial vehicle:
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle systems (UAVs) are necessary as they provide visibility to high risk locations. Without the use of a UAVs, police officers would have to deploy to high risk locations which would increase the risk to the officers and members of the public. The UAV system is designed to enter small spaces, such as enclosed structures, as well as to provide overhead observations of wooded areas and other structures located in often times crowded spaces. There are no known alternatives which could be used to safely access these locations.
Unmanned remotely controlled ground vehicle:
Unmanned ground robots are used for reconnaissance during critical incidents to assist in providing visibility in areas where it would be unsafe to send a police officer. This system can also be used to defuse or move potentially hazardous items. Not having access to this item would require the use of police officers to engage in high risk tasks.
There is no known alternative to this system.
Armored personnel carriers, Lenco Bearcat, wheeled vehicles that have a breaching or entry apparatus:
Armored vehicles are used to provide ballistic protection to officers and citizens during rescue, critical incidents and other hazardous situations. These vehicles allow officers closer access to high risk situations while substantially reducing the physical risk to the officers and citizens. These vehicles are built on commercial vehicle chassis and are primarily a reinforcement of civilian commercial vehicles. As such, there are no reasonable alternatives to providing the same level of ballistic protection.
Command and control vehicles
The mobile incident command vehicle is an unarmored vehicle equivalent to a commercial recreational vehicle. It is equipped with specific communication and audio- visual devices to assist in command and control of DUI checkpoints. This vehicle allows for mobile incident command of DUl checkpoints and use of the Incident Command Systems facilitating the best possible on scene decision-making by key leaders. It provides for mobility, sheltering, and logistical support, restroom facilities and power.
There is no known alternative for the mobile incident command vehicle, which provides the same amount of mobility and support at one location in a quick deploying package.
Specialized firearms and ammunition including assault weapons:
Patrol rifles, Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) rifles, and sniper rifles enable officers when in compliance with the EPD's Use of Force Policy, to address medium to long distance threats, or those threats who are heavily armed, armored or both. Further, in both short and long-distance deployments, they allow officer's precision shot placement minimizing the risk to officers and innocent citizens. There are no known alternatives to these weapons that will provide the same level of distance or precision.
Flash bangs:
Flash bangs are used as a distraction device in order to disorient or divert the suspect' (s) attention away from officers. This can allow officers to gain safer access to a high risk situation, giving extra time to assess and analyze existing threats. This can prevent injury to officers and citizens. These devices can often lead to a safer resolution and allow officers to take a citizen into custody without force. There is no known alternative to a flash bang when it is necessary.
Tear gas:
Tear gas is less a lethal method used to address violent or riotous crowds when there is a risk of physical safety. It is also used to safely extract a suspect from a fixed location or safely detain a suspect who poses a risk of violence to officers. Tear gas allows police officers to deploy a less lethal chemical agent into a structure where other weapons would not be capable of doing so. These weapons are less lethal and afford police officers an added option to avoid lethal force encounters. When these items are reasonable and necessary for use, there is no other alternative. 40mm projectile launchers and bean bag shotguns:
The 40mm launcher affords the ability to use less lethal chemical agents and impact munitions. This allows officers to address a threat from a greater distance and provides an alternative option for deadly force when reasonable. The bean bag shotgun also allows officers to confront a potentially armed or dangerous suspect at a longer distance.
This can potentially prevent a deadly force encounter. When necessary, there is no alternative to these less lethal weapon systems.
There is significant interest in ensuring that law enforcement continues to have access to equipment that will provide police officers as many options as possible to safeguard lives, ensure safety, and protect civil liberties. The use of the tools identified above are vital to EPD's mission and will continue to be strictly regulated through internal processes and oversight.
The EPD is also required to seek governing body approval before collaborating with another law enforcement agency in the deployment or use of military equipment within the governing body's territorial jurisdiction.
The City Council was required to commence its legislative approval process for Policy prior to May 1, 2022, in order for EPD to continue utilizing qualifying equipment already purchased, and it did so by considering and giving first reading to this ordinance on April 26th. Furthermore, AB 481 required that at least 30 days prior to adoption of the ordinance, the City must make its proposed policy available on the City's/Department's internet website. The policy has been available on the site since May 18th.
Consequently, it is recommended that the City Council hold the public hearing and consider all public testimony provided, and adopt and give second reading of the Ordinance.
Fiscal Impact: Minor costs related to updating the City's ordinances, and required annual review and confirmation process.
Prior Council/Board Actions: Approval and first reading of the Ordinance on April 26, 2022.

6. Each City will put the item on a Council agenda, and each City Council will select a nominee. The candidate that garners the most votes will be forwarded to the TAG Board as the representative. If the nomination process results in a tie, those names involved in the tie will be forwarded to the Council of Cities for a final decision.
7. If there is a tie that goes to the Council of Cities, and the vote at the Council of Cities also results in a tie, then the Council of Cities will hold a second ballot on the same day. If it remains a tie, the representative will be selected based on a random draw at the Council of Cities meeting between those names involved in the tie.

Department Recommendation:
Staff recommends that Council
- Review and discuss the draft 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 budget and provide direction to staff for finalization of the following:
• Operating Budget
• All Fund's Appropriation
• Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
Summary:
Over the last several years, the City has made a concerted effort and implemented policies to improve the financial condition of the City. This balanced budget is another critical step in maintaining financial reserves while preserving and improving core services.
The two major components of the City's finances are the General Fund and the Enterprise Funds, with the remaining non-discretionary funds essentially being pass through funding designated for specific purposes. The General Fund has seen improvements through gaining understanding and control of the budget. This has resulted in cost savings and, coupled with revenue increases, provided the opportunity for the Council to choose to significantly increase the reserve. Some of the significant increase in reserves over the last two years has been due to additional one-time funding that assisted in offsetting costs.
The Enterprise Funds have also experienced significant financial improvement with rate increases implemented and approved through the end of year 2024. Rate increases also occurred in the Sanitation Fund, which will also bring that fund back in the black over the next few years. While improvement in the Enterprise funds will take several years to come to full fruition, they are headed down the road to financial recovery. This recovery now provides the opportunity for development of a forecasting Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for planning projects that will provide increased system reliability. Implementation of this "new" CIP program will evolve and be improved over the next several years as planning, estimating, staffing and scheduling challenges are addressed to develop a consistent delivery of projects across the organization.
The improvements discussed above have stabilized the City's fiscal position and could prove to be timely. With the increasing CaPERS unfunded liability payments, national supply chain issues, inflation and predictions of a recession, the City is currently in a better position to continue to make progress while potentially weathering some challenges. Accomplishing this will require the City to continue managing fiscal resources well. for final review and adoption. Council always has the ability to reshape the budgets as it sees fit throughout the year.

As discussed at the May 24, 2022 City Council meeting, staff recommends utilizing conservative estimates on the expenditures and revenues to be able to weather the potential upcoming economic uncertainty.
With the above discussed improvements in mind, the General Fund and Enterprise Funds will be presented with a Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Projects being proposed are based on projected available funding in the next two years due to the rate increases and the debt refunding. Planning for an additional four years beyond this two-year budget is also included based on projected additional funding until 2026/2027. It is anticipated that as improvements are completed and system reliability increased, the frequency of unexpected needs and projects will reduce and begin allowing for a closer adherence to the planned CIP.
Background:
Every two years, the City of Exeter is required to appropriate biennial expenditure budgets which represent the maximum expenditure limits for the fiscal years. A balanced budget means that the total resources available to the City must be sufficient to cover the budgeted expenditures. Over the past several years, the City has reinforced sound budget principals to meet service delivery needs of the Exeter community. The FY2022-2023 and FY2023-2024 Proposed Budgets focus on the City's effort to sustain quality services and maintain financial reserves while addressing the following impacts:
Higher than normal inflation on commodities, services and contracts As staff prepares for FY2022/2023 and FY2023/2024 budgets, the nation is faced with inflationary pressures resulting from pandemic-driven supply chain disruptions and utility increases. Inflation has significantly increased from 1.68% in February 2021 to over 8.5% recorded in May of 2022 for the US City Average CPI Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index for U.S.
While the particulars of the economic conditions for

Continued challenges of the CaPERS UAL increase
In addition to the CaPERS normal employer contribution, the City's contributions to CaPERS UAL (Unfunded Asset Liability) is projected to increase each year. Current year contribution amount is approximately $730,000. It will increase to over 1.1 Mil by FY2029/2030 as demonstrated in the CHART 2: Forecasted Increase in Pension Costs. To cope with these increased costs as well as other costs that will increase with time, the City will need to be mindful to improve operations and lower costs. Additionally, it is anticipated that the recent investment market loss will result in lowering the pension asset valuation which means an increase in the asset liability.

GENERAL FUND OVERVIEW
General Fund Expenditures
The requested general fund expenditures are $5,623,300 and $5,794,610 for FY2022-2023 and FY2023-2024. These represent overall increase of 12% and 7% compared to the prior year budgets. The main drivers of the increases are:
1. Salaries and benefits
The salaries and benefits are estimated to increase by $319,380 (or 10% for FY2022-2023) and $375,310 (or 6% for FY2023-2024) due mainly to the approved cost of living adjustments by 2% and increases in CaPERS and health and liability insurance costs.
2. Contract services
To achieve its fiscal sustainability while being able to provide essential City services, the City outsources numerous services such as IT, legal, animal control, planning, engineering, police dispatch, and fire. Due mainly to the increases in labor, commodities, and services, the contract service costs are anticipated to increase sharply by $185,800 (or 19% for FY2022-2023) and $104,700 (or 9% for FY2023-2024). There could be additional increases in this category depending on the outcome of the five-year Fire contract renewal with the Tulare County Fire Department.

General Fund Revenue:
Property taxes, which make up the largest portion (over 42 percent) of the City's General Fund revenues, have continued to fare well even in the face of the pandemic. Property tax collection rates have stood the test of time. While the property tax has been growing at a 3-4% rate steadily, the sales tax revenues have been volatile. It is anticipated that the sales tax revenues may flatten out the growth starting FY2023/2024. The Utility User Tax (the 3rd largest revenue stream) is anticipated to grow at a 5-7% rate annually.

ENTERPRISE FUNDS OVERVIEW
Water Fund:
The increase in expenditure requests for FY2022/2023 by $317,569 (or 18%) and FY2023/2024 by $153,650 (or 7%) is mainly from the salaries and benefits increase including health and liability insurance growth. The higher increase in the 2022/2023 year is primarily a one-time correction due to salary and benefit cost allocation adjustments that were previously made but not included in the 2021/2022 budget. Both major operating and Utilities categories are anticipated to grow significantly; however, the growth is offset by the savings in debt services from the USDA loan refinancing.

Sanitation Fund:
The significant increases ($606,007, or 50% for FY2022/2023 and $167,000, or 9% for FY2023/2024) in the Sanitation Fund is mainly from the contract service increase associated with the AB1383 implementation (Organics Recycle Mandate). This increase will be fully offset by the Prop 218 rate increases. The 453% increase in Sanitation Department increase is also attributed to the SB1383 implementation.

Sewer Fund:
As with the Water Fund, the Sewer Fund will experience significant increases in salaries and benefits costs during the upcoming two fiscal years. As a result, the overall proposed expenditures for FY2022/2023 reflect an increase of $367,350 (or 34%) and for FY2023/2024, of $91,700 (or 6%). The higher increase in the 2022/2023 year is primarily a one-time correction due to salary and benefit cost allocation adjustments that were previously made but not included in the 2021/2022 budget.

Enterprise Fund Revenues:
Continued increases in the rates (that were approved in 2019) will make it possible for the Enterprise funds to be able to absorb the cost increases and majority of the planned CIPs.
However, achieving the 25% reserve level goal may be slightly delayed due mainly to higher than anticipated cost increases including the CIP and delay in revenue recovery associated with increased delinquency rates during the pandemic.

The significant part of the budget development involved planning for the Capital Improvement Projects for the next five years (FY2022-2023 through FY2026-2027). Specifically, the past delays in capital improvement projects in Water and Sewer programs had resulted in a few emergency repairs and upgrades throughout the year. Notably, the Water production rate during year 2021 has increased substantially (by 30%) due in part to water line leaks.
The Draft FY2022-2023 and FY2023-2024 Budget Book lists a total of 48 CIP projects with descriptions, budget amounts, and funding sources for each project. Total CIP requested for FY2022-2023 is $9,935,611 and the funding breakdown is found in Chart 4 below:
