SUMMARY
The City has been awarded funding from the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant Program of Fiscal Year 2023 to develop a Speed Management Plan and a High Injury Network Safety Plan. The SS4A Grant Program is a federally funded program administered by the Federal Highway Administration to support the National Roadway Safety Strategy and the goal of zero roadway deaths. Staff recommends adopting the resolution to accept $3,252,000 of federal funding awarded to the City from the Federal Highway Administration and appropriate a total of $4,065,000. The City will contribute a twenty- percent match of $813,000 from Fund 460 Transportation System Improvement.
BACKGROUND
Launched in 2022, the purpose of the SS4A grant program is to improve roadway safety by significantly reducing or eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries through safety action plan development and refinement and implementation focused on all users. The program provides funding to develop the tools to help strengthen a community’s approach to roadway safety and save lives while meeting the needs of diverse local, Tribal, and regional communities.
The City adopted its first Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) on June 27, 2023, which assesses and identifies locations and strategies to improve road safety throughout the City. Along with identifying the City’s High Injury Network, the LRSP recommends a set of strategies and countermeasures to address and prevent severe injury and fatal collisions. In addition, the City has committed to Vision Zero by 2050, which is the goal of achieving zero fatalities and severe injuries on the City’s roadways by 2050.
Action Item 2 of the LRSP recommends the near-term action of pursuing SS4A grant funding. Recognizing the effort needed to achieve Vision Zero by 2050, additional supplemental planning funds would be needed to build on the planning that has been started by the LRSP and to develop corridor-specific safety plans through a High Injury Network Safety Plan. In addition, unsafe speeding and aggressive driving were recognized in the LRSP as an area of concern that needs focused attention. On July 7, 2023, staff applied for supplemental planning funds under one application to the SS4A grant program to develop two distinct and separate plans: a Speed Management Plan and a High Injury Network Safety Plan.
On October 27, 2023, the City was awarded the full amount of the $3,252,000 requested in its application to the SS4A grant program. With a required local match of twenty percent, the City must contribute $813,000 to the total project cost of $4,065,000.
DISCUSSION
The purpose of the City-wide Speed Management Plan is to evaluate the City’s existing speeds, speed limits, speed-related collisions, and develop target speeds and strategies for speed management that will be cost effective and aligned with the LRSP and California’s speed limit laws. With unsafe speeding and aggressive driving recognized as an area of concern in the LRSP that needs more attention, the Speed Management Plan will provide more detailed recommendations and strategies using a data-driven approach.
The LRSP was developed to recommend broad system-wide strategies and goals to achieve Vision Zero by 2050. Its data-driven approach identified the City’s High Injury Network, a group of roadways that experience the majority of severe injury and fatal collisions.
Seventy-five percent of Hayward’s severe injury and fatal crashes occur on the High Injury Network. The LRSP also provides a toolbox of countermeasures to improve safety on these roadways but does not specify what and where each countermeasure should be employed.
The purpose of the High Injury Network Safety Plan is to move the City forward in its Vision Zero by 2050 goal and study in detail a total of one area and six corridors identified by the High Injury Network and make specific safety countermeasure recommendations.
Those areas/corridors are as follows:
1. Downtown Area
2. A Street
3. B Street
4. Hesperian Blvd
5. Jackson Street
6. Mission Blvd
7. Tennyson Road
High Injury Network Plan – Map & Project Locations
The countermeasure recommendations for each area/corridor will be developed and informed by its own analysis through data collection, feasibility studies, safety road audits, and outreach efforts that consider transportation equity and social justice. The result of the High Injury Network Safety Plan will be conceptual plans of the safety recommendations for each area or corridor.
The funding to develop a Speed Management Plan and a High Injury Network Safety Plan is necessary because the LRSP alone is not enough to implement safety improvements and functions as a broad planning document. More detailed planning is still needed, especially where collisions are occurring to identify and locate specific countermeasures. Only by doing so can the City move forward with implementation in the future. By completing these two plans, the City will be well-positioned to seek implementation funding through other grant opportunities.
If the Council accepts and appropriates the awarded funding, a grant agreement with the Federal Highway Administration will need to be executed following the approval of this resolution. The budget for the City’s scope of work for this supplemental planning work is $4,065,000, which is reimbursement-based after the contract is executed. The City contribution amount will be twenty percent ($813,000).
ECONOMIC IMPACT
There will be no economic impact associated with this action. Awarded funds are for the development of planning documents.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost for the City’s grant funding match is $813,000, and will come from the Transportation System Improvement Fund (Fund 460). The federal funding and City grant funding match will be split among the two projects from cost estimates prepared by staff and is shown below:
Project Description Project Number Estimated Cost
High Injury Network Safety Plan 06942 $3,830,000
Speed Management Plan 06943 $235,000
Total $4,065,000
Staff recommends that Council authorize the City Manager to accept the $3,252,000 in awarded federal funding from the Federal Highway Administration, and appropriate $4,065,000 for the two projects.
STRATEGIC ROADMAP
This agenda item supports the Strategic Priority of Invest in Infrastructure. Specifically, this item relates to the implementation of the following projects:
Project N1: Continue to implement major corridor traffic calming initiatives.
Project N8: Evaluate Alternatives of the Loop
SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES
There are no sustainability features associated with this action.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Robust public outreach and engagement will be implemented as the project moves forward.
All necessary stakeholders and affected neighborhoods, agencies, community-based organizations, and businesses will have opportunities for input and be done in a way that is equitable.
NEXT STEPS
If Council approves this request, the City Manager will enter into a grant agreement with the Federal Highway Administration for a total amount of $3,252,000 federal funds and $813,000 local matching funds. Once the grant agreement is executed, staff will begin the process to perform the scope of work.

RECOMMENDATION
That the Council receives the presentation and overview of the updated General Fund Long Range Financial Model and fiscal assumptions.
SUMMARY
Over the last several months, staff have worked with Baker Tilly to update the City’s General Fund Long Range Financial Model (Model). The Model was originally developed in 2017 by Management Partners, which was acquired by Baker Tilly in October 2022.
During the work session, staff will provide an overview of the Model, including both revenue and expenditure assumptions for future financial forecasting. In addition to the review of the 10-year forecast and assumptions, staff will guide Council through an interactive exercise to demonstrate how the Model can be used to forecast and understand the financial impacts of policy decisions.
BACKGROUND
On October 3, 20171, Management Partners (currently Baker Tilly) presented the Model to the Council at a work session. The presentation provided a brief overview of the project objectives and key assumptions built into the Model. Management Partners provided a demonstration of the capabilities and flexibilities of the Model by running a variety of hypothetical scenarios to illustrate the long-term fiscal implication of policy decisions.
Following the October 3, 2017 work session, the City held a fiscal sustainability work session on October 14, 20172, where the Council was again presented with the Model, as well as strategies and options for revenue generation, cost shifting, expenditure controls, and changes to service provisions to assist in closing the City’s long term structural budget gap. Council supported exploration of options from all categories except for reductions to the provision of services. Several of the supported options were explored by staff and implemented, including increasing the City’s real property transfer tax (RPTT), and transient occupancy tax (TOT). In
1 Hayward City Council Meeting October 3, 2017 (www.legistar.com) 2 Hayward City Council Meeting October 14, 2017 (www.legistar.com)
2023, staff began working with Baker Tilly to update the Model by reviewing both revenue and expenditure assumptions to ensure congruence with current economic trends.
DISCUSSION
In 2023, staff engaged with Baker Tilly to conduct a review of the General Fund Long Range Financial Model to recommend updates to the structure of the Model, as well as the assumptions applied for long-range financial forecasting. Since the Model was first developed over six years ago, changes to the structure of the Model and assumptions have evolved incrementally This is the first comprehensive review of the Model since 2017. The Model is a significantly dynamic and interactive tool that provides staff with the ability to run hypothetical scenarios in real time to forecast both short-term and long-term fiscal implications. Completing a review and update every few years is important to ensure the quality and accuracy of long-range financial forecasting.
Model Assumptions
In addition to updating the structure of the Model, staff worked with Baker Tilly to review the existing revenue and expenditure assumptions to ensure that the current assumptions identified are congruent with both local and state economies. The updated Model provides sophisticated economic forecasting assumptions, escalation factors, and detailed personnel- related costs. The City uses the Model to simulate a variety of fiscal scenarios to understand the long-term fiscal impacts to the General Fund. Attachment II provides an overview of the assumptions in the Model that allow staff to forecast the City’s future fiscal status.
Interactive Budget Model: Scenarios
Like the work session in October 2017, Council will have an opportunity to review the Model.
Staff will guide Council through a series of hypothetical scenarios to demonstrate, through charts and interactive graphs the financial implications of policy decisions and potential changes in the economy.
NEXT STEPS
Staff will continue to update and monitor the Model and provide Council with regular updates on the fiscal health of the City. An update to the Model will be included with the FY 2024 Mid- Year Review in March 2024. Additionally, staff is currently working to schedule a work session with a local Economist to provide an overview of the current economic environment in Hayward and California.

GENERAL FUND LONG RANGE BUDGET MODEL
REVENUE & EXPENDITURE ASSUMPTIONS
REVENUE ASSUMPTIONS
o General – All revenues for FY2024 are based on the adopted budget. Revenues will be analyzed and updated as appropriate during the Mid-year Review and adjustments will be made at that time. o Property Tax – Projections based on information provided by the City’s property tax expert HdL Coren & Cone.
Includes projected changes in ownership and 2% Prop 13 inflator for other parcels. Average annual growth is projected at 3.71%. For context, average growth over the past four years was 3.72%. Projections include RPTTF (RDA redistribution of funds) and VLF in-lieu payments.
o Sales Tax – Projections based on information provided by the City’s sales tax expert Avenu Services. Although the City saw an increase from online sales, fuel price volatility and lost a major taxpayer, FY2023 revenues were flat. The model also projects a recession in FY 2027 based on historical trend data. Average annual growth over the past four years was 4.08%, however, because of the volatility the model is using a conservative growth of 2.67% in the projection.
o Utility Users Tax (UUT) – Assumes growth of 2.0% growth. o Other Taxes – Assumes aggregate growth at 1.44% annually (ranges from 1.0-3.0% by source). o Licenses/Permits/Fees/Charges – 2.0% growth annually. o Cost Allocation Transfer In - 2.0% growth annually. Pending cost plan study results not yet included in forecast. o Intergovernmental Revenue – Assumes no growth, as source is volatile with significant swings from year to year. o Interest -1% return on positive fund balance.
o Other Revenue – Generally 2.0% growth annually.
EXPENDITURE ASSUMPTIONS
o General – All expenditures for FY2024 are based on the adopted budget. o Staffing – The Model assumes the addition of no new positions. o Salary Increases – Assumes 2.0% growth for all bargaining units in years not currently under contract. o Overtime – Historically actuals much higher than budget, but offset through lower salaries/benefits than budgeted, as well potential reimbursement from mutual aid response.
o Merit/Turnover Rate – Assumes 0.25% net impact from merit increases for eligible employees less the savings realized from employee turnover when new hires come in at a lower step than the previous occupant of that position.
This impact will vary from year-to-year but 0.25% is a reasonable average based on industry standard modeling of employee turnover.
o PERS Employer Contribution - Projections based on CalPERS Pension Outlook model, assuming 6.8% discount rate and average 6.2% investment return. A more conservative return is assumed based on the 30-year trend of gradually lower returns, and the reduction in discount rate over this period from 8.75% to 6.8%. For FY2024 Misc plan normal and UAL costs are 36.4% of payroll as projected by CalPERS, with Fire Plan at 64.0% and Police Plan at 78.3%. These percentages will continue to rise until beginning to fall in the mid-2030’s with the cumulative impact of employees transitioning to lower benefits under PEPRA, and as unfunded liabilities are paid off. o PERS Cost Share Contributions from Employee Groups* – Clerical/Maintenance bargaining units – 5.0%. Public Safety bargaining units – 6.0%. HAME/Local 21/Unrep-Non-Exempt/Unrep-Exempt/Mayor & City Council – 3.0%.
Unrep Dept. Heads/Appointed – 5.0%.
o Medical – 3.0% annual growth based on historical cost experience. o Workers Compensation – 2.25% annual growth.
o Retiree Medical – 2.25% annual aggregate growth for various plans. o Maintenance & Utilities – 3.0% annual growth based on recent cost trends. o Services & Supplies – 2.0% annual growth based on historical cost experience. o Internal Service Fees – 3.0% annual growth based on historical cost experience. *This is part of a negotiated agreement and amounts shown are the percentage above statutorily required contribution percentages. The employees of the City of Hayward have chosen to share in the cost of funding CalPERS pensions and other benefits.
