In addition, staff requests that the City Council provide direction to staff in the development of a Proposed Revenue Measure Advisory Committee.
Today's items for review or direction:
- Parks and Community Services Department needs
- Public Works Department needs
- Police Department needs
- Fire Department needs
- General City needs
- Proposed Revenue Measure Advisory Committee development Previously, the City Council has expressed concern for the fiscal health of the General Fund and has directed staff to find ways for improvement. As was shown during the adoption of the 2023/2024 & 2024/2025 biennial budget, there are many and substantial demands of the General Fund that are not able to be financially supported. The City Council was able to adopt a balanced budget.
However, the adoption relied on one-time increased revenue and cost-saving items along with many needs, such as facility improvements and maintenance, and vehicle reserves being deferred. These needs were deferred to assist in improving the financial condition and recovering the General Fund Reserve, but must begin being addressed soon otherwise they will create heavy financial stress for the City in the future.
Enterprise funds such as Water, Sewer, Storm Drain and Refuse are supported by rates paid by the utility users. These funds are not a part of this discussion as Council has previously approved separate studies and rate changes specific to those rates.
The City's General Fund
The General Fund is the City's most discretionary funding source that receives revenues from Sales Tax, Property Taxes, Business Tax, Transient Occupancy Tax among other revenues including fees for recovery of costs. There are several areas of essential services that are paid for out of the General Fund, including Police, Fire, Streets, Administration, Parks/Recreation and Planning/Community Development. The City's budget for fiscal year 2023/2024 is just under $43.6 million for the General Fund, Table 1 shows the appropriation across areas of operation/use.
Table 1: City of Hanford 2023/2024 General Fund appropriation For the most recent budget adoption, the City had a significant challenge having a balanced budget as required by Council-adopted resolution. In addition, economic forecasts indicate a slow-down in revenue, so cost increases due to inflation and salary increases are projected to be hard-pressed to be fully offset. For the past several years, the City has been 'tightening its belt' financially. However, there are limits as to what can be done as personnel costs are the majority of costs (over 70% of General Fund expenditures) and there are essential costs of operating that must be covered. All nonfixed costs are continually scrutinized by staff.
In addition, proving to be a significant challenge to balancing the City's General Fund was the $12.5 million settlement agreed to in early 2023 of which $7.5 million has been paid. This depleted the GF reserve to approximately 6%, well below the 35% goal (15% operating, 20% fiscal emergency). The remaining $5 million must be paid over the next four years at $1.25 million annually. This will have a direct impact on the General Fund budget over the next four years as the City must set aside funding for this debt payment in addition to all other operating, capital and existing debt demands. Items like this are temporary. However, with increasing costs for current operations and emergency capital
needs, there is little to no room in the budget for increasing services/operations, improving services or proactively meeting capital needs.
Types of Measures to Consider
There are several options that City Council may consider of the potential revenue measures that would increase discretionary revenue for the City's General Fund. These will be discussed in more detail during the presentation. Table 2 provides a summary of revenue measure options and requirements for passage, Table 3 depicts the position of the City of Hanford and nearby cities and what measures are in place.:
Table 2: Summary of potential revenue measures with requirements for passage Table 3: Revenue rates of City of Hanford and surrounding cities A major detail selection involves the type of measure sought. The two main alternatives generally obtained by cities are a general or special revenue measure. Special measures can be sales, property, utility users or parcel taxes or a general obligation bond and general measures are typically sales tax measures.
What if the City was to have additional revenue?
A revenue measure would increase discretionary tax revenue (in the General Fund) available for City Council’s use in funding City services. The City’s current discretionary revenues in the General Fund include sales tax, property tax, utility user’s tax, franchise tax, transient occupancy tax, licenses, permits, etc. Areas currently funded directly by the General Fund Revenues are General Government, Parks and Community Services, Public Safety (Police and Fire) and Streets (primarily Maintenance of Effort funding as required by the State). These funds do not pay for Enterprise Fund costs such as Water, Sewer and Refuse, which can only legally be funded by their associated rates.
Through the public process of a budget adoption, City Council would determine how the City spends these additional revenues and adhere to a plan developed during a ballot initiative. The amount of
funding potentially available would vary greatly depending on what the Council may consider for voters to decide on.
Typically, an initial proposal is developed that will begin discussions and evaluation, quite often with adjustments being made through a vetting process by Council, the community and staff.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Through the development process, some activities will have associated costs such as legal ($10,000), polling/surveying ($40,000) and information distribution ($50,000). Placing an item on the ballot will also have associated costs (approximately $30,000). Total approximate costs for the entire process could be approximately $130,000 which would be paid from the General Fund.
If a revenue measure is ultimately passed, additional revenue would occur with the amount dependent on the revenue details in the passed measure.

11-COMPANY HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION
The company began in 1985 with 1 truck and 1 mower. Since that day CCLM has continued to strive for excellence and knowledge in our field and the success that is a by product of that pursuit. We have had the privilege of being trusted with some fairly highprofile projects in maintenance and construction. From maintaining the CSUF Presidents Estate to the Downtown San Diego Historic Landscape Renovation and Maintenance valued at $4,000,000.00 to installing the Landscape and Irrigation and Maintaining Clovis North High School the goal has still been excellence. There have been many changes in the industry in the last 40 years with the latest being a renewed emphasis on preserving water, which has profoundly affected everyone as conservation and plant selection have come to the forefront. Irrigation technology and central control systems are moving rapidly ahead with each passing year and CCLM must be at the leading edge of this technology. The transition to low emission equipment is underway and again, CCLM is beginning that move as we speak. We have a long list of employees, some of which have been with the Company for over 30 years. We are grateful for this long term dedication and the quality that only comes from employees who care. CCLM is built on this work ethic. We would consider it a privilege to continue this relationship on into the future if the City of Hanford chooses to entrust us with any Quadrants on this contract.
B-PROJECT APPROACH
CCLM forces will mobilize daily to perform work as required per contract.
A dedicated three-man crew will perform the majority of the work throughout the week with very little variance. Quadrants will be completed in a linear fashion with mowing, edging and blowing taking place for one portion of the week and pruning, weed control and irrigation repair taking place on alternate days. City Staff has historically provided direction for main line repairs, valves, trees down or other issues directly to Project Supervisor, Juan Perez on a weekly basis or on an on call basis as needed.
Karry Wendel has been the contact for pricing, special irrigation projects and all other issues. All employees take part in safety meetings on a documented weekly basis. All employees are outfitted with proper spray PPE, and general work PPE. This includes State Approved Safety Glasses, Nitrile Gloves, Trash Pickers, dust masks, ear protection safety kits and Eye Wash kits. Each truck is properly labeled with emergency contacts AND addresses for any injuries or illnesses. CCLM believes we have established a very tight system that maximizes safety and savings to the City as well as the homeowners in general while providing a high level of quality. CCLM has a developed approach unique to the City of Hanford whereby a written Chemical Rec by a Licensed PCA has been in place for a number of years to control the weed population specific to the City of Hanford and surrounding area.
