DATE: April 4, 2022

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council

FROM: Cody A. Howing, City Engineer

SUBJECT: Setting Time and Date for a Public Hearing Regarding the Vacation of a City of La Verne Public Utility Easement Located at 1941 N. White Avenue
______________________________________________________________________

AGENDA SUMMARY:

The property owner of 1941 N. White Avenue has requested that the City vacate a public utility easement located on said property. The subject utility easement does not serve any known utilities. Setting a public hearing and providing noticing will initiate the easement vacation process.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. 22- 15, decl aring its intention to initiate the procedures for the vacation of the public utility easements located at 1941 N. White Avenue; setting the public hearing for Monday, May 2, 2022 at 6:30 p.m. and to direct the City Clerk to co nduct noticing of the public h earing pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Division 9, Part 3.

BACKGROUND:

The propert y located at 1941 N. White Avenue is composed of two individual parcels located south of the Metrolink San Bernardino Line and north west of the intersection of White Avenue and Arrow Highway. Prior to the current configuration of the existing property, “G“ Street extended south from the current terminus at First Street to intersect the roadway which is now Arrow Highway.

In 1967 the portions of “G” Street south of First Street that previously ran through the site were vacated for street purposes. However, in that street vacation, an easement for public utilities for storm drain purposes was reserved. 22 Monday, April 4, 2022, City Council Meeting
Page No. 17

The Public Works department has reviewed the site and available records to confirm no drainage facilities exist within the subject easement. Currently , drainage facilities are available on Arrow Highway and White Avenue within the public right -of-way for those respective streets. The property of 1941 N. White Avenue generally drains via parkway drains or surface drainage to Arrow Highway and White Avenue where flow is then picked up by the local catch basins. To the north of the site including the Foothill Gold Line rail and station facilities, drainage is managed with the improvements under construction and do not require use of this easement . T hose properties fronting First Street drain to the street which then flows to the west where it is picked up by catch basins located in the vicinity of the intersection at First Street and “E” Street.

Based on the existing conditions, there is no apparent need for drainage facilities to be constructed in the subject easement. Any future project in the vicinity will be responsible for addressing drainage from their site to ensure those future improvements function with the existing facilities and drainage conditions.

AGENDA SUMMARY

A recommendation to decrease t he Fiscal Year 2021- 22 Amended General Fund Appropriation Budget by $ 101,816, from $40, 920,192 to $40,818,376 and increase the Anticipated Revenue from $38,808,915 to $45,464,837 is being proposed. The net impact of the proposed budget adjustments will result in an anticipated increase of $4,646,461 on the General Fund reserves (f und balance) at fiscal year -end of which $4,000,000 is recommended to be transferred to fund the Section 115 pension trust.

Overall, revised year-end estimates now reflect a General Fund surplus of $646,461.

The Mid-Year Budget Report includes the recommended appropriation budget for use of the $7,648.860 American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) allocation , separating the emergency firefighting budget from the General Fund into its own fund , California Fire Assistance Agreement (CFAA) Reimbursable, Fund 110, and increasing the Measure LV sales tax revenue by $1,100,000.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended t hat the City Council approve the proposed budget adjustments and Section 115 trust funding as presented in the Mid- Year Budget Update Fiscal Year 2021-22.

BACKGROUND:

In order to provide an update on the City of La Verne’s financial position through December 31, 2021, a Mid- Year Budget Update has been prepared to focus on the revenue and expenses of the General Fund. The focus is on the General Fund since the spending is at the discretion of the City Council to support the day -to-day activities of the City. The spending for other funds are for various restricted purposes. To the 28 Monday, April 4, 2022, City Council Meeting
Page No. 23
extent these funds rely on operating transfers from the General Fund, these funds have been reviewed to determine the overall impact to the General Fund.

The Fiscal Year 2021 -22 Budget was adopted by City Council in June 2021 and any unexpended appropriations for capital projects or obligated contract amounts were rolled over from Fiscal Year 2020-21 and continued into the current fiscal year, resulting in an Amended General Fund Appropriation Budget of $40,920,192

1 OVERVIEW
This Mid-Year report primarily represents the City’s General Fund revenue and expenditure results through December 31, 2021 and includes significant budget variances in other funds maintained in the City Treasury.

GENERAL FUND
The General Fund supports the day-to-day activities of the City, which includes General Administration, City Clerk, City Manager, Community Development, Fire, Police, Community Services, and Public Works. General Fund activities are primarily supported by taxes.

General Fund Financial Condition: As of December 31, the General Fund appears to have a $1.1 million year-to-date deficit and a $2.1 million deficit based on the Amended Budget as summarized in the below table. However, based on the analysis contained within this report and the summary of all proposed budget adjustments, the General Fund is healthy. Rather than using reserves as anticipated for the fiscal year, a surplus of $4.6 million is anticipated after considering all proposed General Fund budget adjustments.

Below is a reconciliation from the Adopted General Fund Appropriation Budget to the Amended Budget at December 31, 2021.

2 Revenue. The General Fund accounts for 53.8% of the City’s total amended revenue budget (49.5% excluding Operating Transfer In transaction from the revenue total). Overall General Fund revenue as of December 31 is 41.9%, $5.8 million higher than the same period last fiscal year.

The most significant increase is in the Use of Money & Property category which included $5.6 million from the sale of land. Below are the budgeted, year-to-date actual and projected annual revenue for the fiscal year by source.

● Sales Tax- this revenue category includes the Bradley Burns 1% Local Sales Tax and the Public Safety Proposition 172 ½ Cent Sales Tax, which based on current receipts are expected to exceed the combined budget by $686,443 for the fiscal year. The most significant budget variance is anticipated in the 1% Local Sales Tax revenue which has increased 12.3% compared to the same period in FY2020-21 for the City. While overall sales numbers have increased, General Consumer Goods produced the most sales tax for the City than any other major industry group. Anticipated revenue is expected to exceed the $4,615,800 budget by $644,000 for the fiscal year based on a $5.26 million estimate. A requested budget adjustment for the increase will be proposed.

● Motor Vehicle In-Lieu Tax revenue is received annually in two installments (January and May) with an annual true-up from the prior year occurring usually in March. Annual increases from 2% to 8% have occurred over the past ten years. Based on the first installment payment received in January, anticipated revenue is expected to exceed the $4,026,270 budget by $135,000. The $4,162,000 anticipated revenue for the fiscal year is a 6% increase from the $3,934,000 received in fiscal year 2020-21. ● License and Permits includes fees collected on business licenses, alarms, overnight parking, building, and other permits. As of December 31, total revenue was 8.8% higher than the same period in FY2020-21. Anticipated revenue is expected to exceed the $1,821,717 budget by $910,000 for a total of $2,731,717 at fiscal year-end in the revenue category. Building permits is the most significant revenue source attributing to the excess 31 Monday, April 4, 2022, City Council Meeting

Mid-Year Budget Update
Fiscal Year 2021-22

3 revenue. As of December 31, $665,000 had been collected in building permits and an additional $1.7 million is expected by fiscal year-end to generate $2,340,000 in revenue for the fiscal year compared to the $1.5 million budget, an increase of $840,000 over budget. Several large construction projects, including the build-out of the Gilead Sciences campus, requires City building permits in the second half of the fiscal year, which attributes to the extraordinary significant spike in revenue. A budget adjustment is recommended to better align the budget with actual anticipated revenue. In addition, contract services are utilized to generate building inspection revenue. Therefore, a corresponding budget appropriation increase of $310,000 has been requested and is recommended for the related costs associated with the demand.
● Intergovernmental – Intergovernmental revenue includes funding received from Federal, State and County agencies; primarily grant reimbursement programs. Actual revenue as of December 31 was $166,117 compared to $655,372 for the same period in Fiscal Year 2020-21. The decrease was primarily due to one-time money received pursuant to the Coronavirus, Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act in Fiscal Year 2020-21. In the current year, $200,000 was budgeted, however all proceeds were expended by the December 31, 2020 deadline. Therefore, a budget adjustment is recommended for the $200,000 unrealized CARES Act revenue.
● Use of Money and Property includes income generated on investments and rental of property. A $5.5 million increase is anticipated due to unbudgeted proceeds received on the sale of property. A budget adjustment is recommended for the property sale. In addition, staff recommends $4,000,000 of sale proceeds to be used to fund the Section 115 trust established for pension costs.

Based on the above review of General Fund revenue, the following proposed budget adjustment is recommended on revenue accounts with absolute variances of $100,000 or more:

Increase anticipated revenue:
101-000-363-1000 GF Revenue- Sale of Property $ 5,588,000 101-000-322-1515 GF Revenue- Building Permits 840,000 101-000-313-1000 GF Revenue- Sales and Use Tax 644,000 101-000-311-1200 GF Revenue- Motor Vehicle In-Lieu 135,000 101-000-345-1014 GF Revenue- Planning Projects 123,000 $ 7,330,000

5 Expenditures. At mid-year, overall the General Fund appropriation budget was on target with 49% expended as shown in the following summary by department.

The General Fund appropriation budget includes personnel, operational, capital, and operating transfers-out, which represents 65.3%, 31.9%, 0.9%, and 1.9% of the total appropriation budget.

To better understand the details of the General Fund budget, tables are presented below by department for each appropriation category comparing actual expenditures to-date to the amended budget as of December 31.

6 Personnel Expenditures – As of December 31, 12 out of 26 pay periods, 46% of pay periods had been paid for service provided by employees, however, personnel costs were 54.3% of personnel budget. The most significant variances were in Public Safety (Fire and Police Departments), which provide 24-Hour services and Recreation, which budgets were based on lower service levels due to uncertainty associated with the pandemic √ The Fire Department personnel cost were $5.4 million, 57.5% of the $9.4 million budget at December 31. Overtime primarily attributed to the actual costs being higher than anticipated. The majority of overtime was incurred in response to emergency firefighting assistance, which is fully reimbursed by the California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) in accordance with state master mutual aid program, California Fire Assistance Agreement (CFAA). The cost of these efforts are included in the various fire department budgets and distort the routine operational costs of the department. To better account for CFAA reimbursable services, a budget adjustment is being proposed to remove the revenue and appropriation budget from the General Fund into a new separate fund entitled CFAA Reimbursable, Fund 110. Other department overtime was incurred due to staff shortages, which is currently being rectified based on the recent operational changes and recruitment efforts approved by City Council on 11/15/21 in Resolution 21-89. Excess remaining overtime costs are expected to be absorbed by salary savings due to non- PEPRA vacancies and the delay in fully implementing the department redeployment plan. √ The Police Department personnel cost were $6.4 million, 54.4% of the $11.8 million budget at December 31. Overtime primarily attributed to the actual costs being higher than anticipated at midyear due to the annual payout of compensation time in November.

In addition, the General Fund reflects asset forfeiture funded personnel costs, which annual are transferred into the asset forfeiture fund to offset against revenue received from the program.

Fiscal Year 2021-22

7 √ Recreation personnel cost were $501 thousand, 55.4% of the $906 thousand budget at December 31. The most significant factor attributing to the variance is due to aquatic personnel costs being seasonal, the majority of costs incurred in July and August, rather than being incurred evenly throughout the fiscal year.

In order to account for CFAA reimbursable activity in a separate fund, the below proposed budget adjustment is recommended to remove the related revenue and appropriations budgets from the General Fund.

Decrease anticipated revenue:
101-0000-341-1512 GF Work for Others/ Fire Dept $ 510,000

Decrease appropriations:
101-2010-421-1200 GF Asst to Firefighters: Part-Time Salaries $ 270,622 101-2010-421-1300 GF Asst to Firefighters: Overtime Salaries 195,366 101-2010-421-2000 GF Asst to Firefighters: Fringe Benefit Costs- Reg 6,887 101-2010-421-2050 GF Asst to Firefighters: Workers Comp Insurance 22,064 101-2010-421-2051 GF Asst to Firefighters: Workers Comp- Public Safety 2,066 101-2010-421-2800 GF Asst to Firefighters: Other Benefits 6,733 $ 503,738

To establish revenue and appropriations budgets in the newly created CFAA Reimbursable, Fund 110, the following budget adjustment is recommended. Budgeted amounts are based on updated fiscal year projects. Revenue includes a 36% indirect cost rate for general administration costs to provide firefighting services. The indirect costs are accounted for in the General Fund and therefore, the proposed budget adjustment includes an operating transfer between the General Fund and the CFAA Reimbursable fund.

Increase anticipated revenue:
110-0000-341-1512 GF Work for Others/ Fire Dept $ 952,000

Increase appropriations:

Operational Expenditures – Overall, the General Fund operational budget was 46.4% expended as of December 31 st. It is anticipated that 50% of the budget would be expended at mid-year.

For those department budgets varying 10% or more from the 50% expended expectation and with a $100,000 or more unexpended, we reviewed to determine the reason for the variance. The departments over-expended at December 31 include Fire, Information Systems and City Buildings. The department under expended included Street Maintenance, and Recreation. 37 Monday, April 4, 2022, City Council Meeting

9 √ At mid-year the Fire department had expended $874,865, 61.7%, of its $1,417,264 combined operating budget. In the Emergency Services budget, a budgeted annual payment of $177,000 was paid at the beginning of this fiscal year to LA Fire. The Paramedic Services budget incurred $77,000 as of December 31 of unanticipated costs for contract ambulance services, medical supplies and safety equipment resulting from increased COVID testing requirements and having only one City ambulance operating.

American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding will be used to supplement these costs, which require a budget adjustment to support the department operational needs. See analysis on ARPA proposed budget adjustment on page 11 of this report. In addition, with a first full-time Fire Chief being hired in over two years, the department underwent an assessment to analyze its structure and deployment model to best suit the needs of its citizens. A budget adjustment of $70,000 is recommended to cover professional and legal services.
√ Of the $681,323 operational budget for Information Systems, 68.6%, $467,395 was expended as of December 31. Information System contracts for computer and copy machine maintenance, as well as software licenses which are generally paid on an annual basis in one lump sum. Therefore, the amount expended to date does not reflect costs for a six month period. At this time, the department is expected to be within their annual budget at fiscal year-end.
√ Of the $366,089 operational budget for City Buildings, 60.2%, $220,338 was expended as of December 31. The significant cost variance is attributed to facility electricity charges.

Based on our review, $160,000 of actual costs are expected for the fiscal year compared to the $120,000 budget. Other operational account variances, are expected to be within the total department budget at fiscal year-end. Therefore, a $40,000 budget increase for electricity costs at city facilities is being recommended. √ Of the $4,964,803 Street Maintenance operating budget, $1,732,928, 34.9% was expended as of December 31. The department includes street administration, waste and recycling, street maintenance, traffic lighting, and graffiti removal. Work on both the waste management recycling and street resurfacing programs were slowed during fiscal year 2020-21 due to the pandemic and budgeted appropriations were continued into fiscal year 2021-22 for ongoing contract costs. Project work began in the 3 rd quarter of the fiscal year. The majority of budgeted expenditure are anticipated to be expended by fiscal year- end, with any remaining balances to be continued into next fiscal year. √ Of the $294,927 Recreation operating budget, $47,859, 16.2% was expended as of December 31. The most significant variance is in the recreation class budget. Due to the passage of Assembly Bill 5, effective January 1, 2020, individuals could no longer be contracted with to instruct classes. Instead, instructors had to become City employees or a business had to be contracted with to perform the service. In addition, with the closures related to COVID, the City was unable to provide the majority of recreation classes in the first half of the year. As a result, of the $140,000 contract services appropriation budget 38 Monday, April 4, 2022, City Council Meeting

Fiscal Year 2021-22

10 for classes, only $6,897 was expended as of December 31. A budget savings of $100,000 is anticipate, however, this will be offset by a reduction of $ 78,000 in anticipated revenue from these programs. A proposed budget adjustment reducing appropriations and revenue is recommended in the amount of $70,000. In addition, a revenue shortfall of $70,000 is anticipated in aquatics swim lesson revenue. Revenue at January 31 is at $29,408 compared to $50,218 for the same period in Fiscal Year 2020-21; a 41.4% reduction. A budget adjustment to reduce this revenue is also being proposed.

Based on the above analysis, following are the recommended department operating budget adjustments:

Increase appropriations:
101-2001-421-3200 GF Fire Admin: Other Professional Services $ 70,000 101-4102-441-6251 GF City Building: Electricity 40,000 $ 110,000
Decrease appropriations:
101-6002-452-3209 GF Recreation: Other Contractual Services $ 70,000 $ 70,000
Net Change in Budgeted Appropriations (Increase) $ 40,000

Decrease revenue:
101-0000-346-1103 GF Revenue: Aquatics/ Swim Lessons $ 70,000 101-0000-346-1000 GF Revenue: Recreation Fees and Charges 70,000 $ 140,000

11 Capital Expenditures – The Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 2021-22 included $260,600 appropriations for department capital costs, which included City website design and implementation, Fire Standard of Care Study, Police dispatch equipment and storage, and Aquatic Center pool lights. In addition, $87,646 unexpended appropriations for Fiscal Year 2020- 21 were rolled over into the current year budget for a total of $348,246. The most significant costs included in the rolled over appropriations were for Street Maintenance machinery and automotive equipment and office furniture and equipment for multiple department budgets. At December 31, $115,895, 33.3% of the capital budget had been expended. At this time, it is expected that costs will be within the fiscal year appropriation budget and any unexpended capital funds will be continued into next fiscal year.

Operating Transfers – The amended budget for General Fund Operating transfers out include support for traffic safety, assessment districts, and fire equipment replacement of $440,500, $20,000, and $300,000, respectively. No significant variances are anticipated between the actual and budgeted amounts.

Traffic Safety, which includes crossing guards and parking enforcement had a $715,506 appropriation budget for the fiscal year. Parking fines, forfeitures and reimbursement for vehicle towing and impound costs are expected to cover $287,860 of the costs and General Fund support to cover the remaining costs ($427,646 to balance based on the original budget).

Twenty thousand dollars of General Fund support was budgeted to partially offset the $467,346 Maintenance Assessment District appropriation budget. The remaining funding is expected to be generated from Assessment District taxes and fund balance reserves estimated at $304,400, and $142,946, respectively.

The Adopted Budget included $881,500 to replace a Type 1 Fire Engine, utility up fitting and computers. General Fund support of $300,000 will partially offset some of the costs.
