ISSUE: Study Session for Draft Budget for Fiscal Years 2023/2024 & 2024/2025 RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council hold the fourth workshop for the upcoming biennial budget for fiscal years 2023/2024 & 2024/2025.

SUMMARY:

The City of Laguna Hills adopts a budget every two years. The biennial budget process is underway for the upcoming fiscal years 2023/2024 and 2024/2025.

These revenue projections and expenditure allocations cover the period of July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2025.

It is prudent and transparent to hold budget workshops prior to adoption, so that key stakeholders can review the draft budget, provide direction, and make suggestions. The City Council previously held budget workshops on March 28, May 23, and June 13. This is the fourth budget workshop in the process, with final adoption scheduled for the regularly scheduled meeting on June 27, 2023.

The attached draft includes the General Fund operating budget, all Special Revenue Funds, and the Capital Improvement Budget. City staff is pleased to present a balanced operating General Fund budget for the next two fiscal years.

For fiscal year 2023/2024, staff estimates revenues of $33,564,809 and expenses of $33,156,403, resulting in a positive difference of $408,406. For fiscal year 1 Packet Pg. 3

Attachment: Biennial Budget (3207 : Budget Study Session) City of Laguna Hills Profile
The  City  of  Laguna Hills,  located  in South Orange  County,  has approximately  6.6  square miles  of  land  in  its corporate boundary and is now home to 30,525 people.  The majority of the area in the City has a distinctive residential character.  Yet, the City has a commercial base in its northern part.  This area, or “urban village”, is anchored  by  upcoming  development  of The Village at  Laguna Hills,  the Oakbrook Village  Retail  Center, and Saddleback  Memorial  Hospital.  It  includes
retail,  restaurant,  professional  office,  and
medical related building space.  When the City
annexed the “North Laguna Hills” area in July of
1996,  the  City  acquired  1.2  square  miles  of
primarily  light  industrial,  professional  office,
specialty retail, hotel, and residential uses.  This
annexed area  contains a  furniture  row,  office
headquarters,  and  the  only  light
industrial/manufacturing establishments in the
City.  In  September  of  2000,  the  City  grew  by
another 150 acres as a result of the annexation
of  residential  properties  identified  as  West
Laguna Hills.

Laguna Hills is built on one of  the major land grants developed during  the  rancho area.  Following Mexico’s independence from Spain in 1821, those who had served in the government or who had friends in authority were given vast lands for cattle grazing.  Rancho Lomas de Santiago, Rancho San Joaquin, and Rancho Niguel covered much of the western portion of the Saddleback Valley.  Don Juan Avila was granted the 13,000‐acre Rancho Niguel on which Laguna Hills is located.

In 1874, Lewis Moulton purchased Rancho Niguel from Don Juan Avila and increased the original grant to 22,000 acres.  Moulton and his partner, Jean Piedrea Daguerre, used the ranch to raise sheep and cattle.  The Moulton ranch was eventually subdivided in the early 1960s, part of which is recognized as Laguna Hills. 2 Version 3 (updated for 6/20/23 meeting)

Attachment: Biennial Budget (3207 : Budget Study Session) Incorporation  efforts  began
in  1987  and  on  March  5,
1991,  the  goal  of
incorporation  was  finally
achieved  with  86%  of  the
residents  voting  in  favor  of
forming  the  City  of  Laguna
Hills.    On  December  20,
1991,  Laguna  Hills  officially
became a City.

The City of Laguna Hills is a
General Law City that operates under the Council/Manager form of government.  The voters elect five of their fellow  citizens  to  the  City  Council  for  overlapping  four‐year  terms.    The  Council,  in  turn,  selects  one  of  its members to serve as Mayor for a one‐year term.  The City Council holds regular public meetings on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month.

The Public Works division provides maintenance services for all infrastructure in the public right‐of‐way.  The maintenance  services, with  the exception  of administration and maintenance inspection, are  provided  on a contract basis.  The Public Works maintenance function includes pavement repairs, signage, striping, concrete work and street sweeping on the 95 centerline miles of the street system, monitoring of the storm drain system, repair  of  bicycle  trails,  and  maintenance  of  48  traffic  signals  throughout  the  City.  The  division  responds  to resident calls regarding maintenance issues, provides weekly inspection of the local street system, prepares task orders and oversees the implementation of scheduled maintenance work.

The Parks division performs maintenance inspection and administration of contracts for landscape maintenance of the City’s 48 acres of local parks, 26 acres of sports parks, 152 acres of open space and slopes, 15 acres of median islands and parkways; graffiti removal; lighting maintenance; and a variety of repair services.

3. The budget is a resource-allocation document and serves as the financial plan for the City. It will serve as the policy document of the City Council and will provide policy direction to the City Manager in the areas of desired service levels and funding priorities.

4. Opportunities will be provided for public input during the City Council’s public review and budget adoption process. Although not required by State or local laws, the City will hold a noticed public hearing prior to the adoption of the budget.

5. The budget document will be prepared so that it: (1) facilitates public study and (2) effectively communicates key economic issues and fiscal policies. Assumptions for underlying revenue sources and expenditure estimates will be explained and documented.

6. It is the City’s policy to fund current year operating expenditures with current year operating revenues. In the budget proposal presented by the City Manager, recurring revenues shall meet or exceed recurring expenditures for ongoing operations. The City will strive to achieve and maintain an operating revenues-to-operating expenditures ratio of 1.1 to 1 or greater.

The formula for calculating this ratio is:

Operating Revenues(1) + Enterprise Fund Net Cash Flow
Operating Expenditures + Direct Net Debt Service
(1) For the purpose of this calculation, Operating Revenues shall include interest earnings which shall be limited to a maximum of 10% of Operating Revenues.

7. No one-time, non-recurring revenues or Gas Tax revenues may be used in determining the ratio defined in paragraph 6 of this section.

In the event this ratio is impossible to maintain without cuts in service levels, the City Manager will present recommended actions to the City Council.

8. The City Council may authorize the use of reserves and/or nonrecurring revenues to balance the budget when unforeseen events occur that reduce the City’s recurring revenues, and to direct the City Manager to make budgetary recommendations that will re-balance the budget within a specified timeframe.

9. All budgetary procedures will conform to state regulations and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for governmental agencies.

10. The City’s budget will be presented by department with a logical breakdown of programs. The budget format will clearly outline the major service areas and the associated expenditures.

11. The budgeting process will include quarterly reports to the City Council and will include budgetary status and compliance. The City Manager will notify the City Council whenever changing operations or economic developments require corrective budgetary modifications.

The City Manager shall also inform the City Council if operating revenues are projected to decrease by more than 10% from the adopted Budget.

12. All appropriations in the Operating Budget will be automatically carried over from the first year to the second year of the two-year budget period.

13. Departmental budget control shall be the responsibility of the Department Head.

Improvement Plan from the adopted Budget Resolution. City Council approval is also required to move appropriations between the Operating Budget and the Capital Improvement Plan.

B. CAPITAL PLANNING

1. The purpose of the Capital Improvement Plan is to systematically plan, schedule, and finance capital projects as approved and prioritized by the City Council. The Capital Improvement Plan will be a six-year plan and will include major rehabilitation costs to existing infrastructure and facilities, as well as the cost of new facilities or capital improvements. Staff will inventory and assess the condition of all major capital assets every two years and make recommendations to the City Council regarding any modifications to the Capital Improvement Plan as part of the budget development process.

2. Capital projects will include projected changes in operating and maintenance costs, work force requirements, productivity, and risk management considerations.

3. A capital improvement project shall be established for all projects greater than $100,000 with an expected useful life of at least 3 years that also meet the definition of a public project per Section 22002 of the State Public Contracts Code. These include projects involving construction, reconstruction, alteration, renovation, improvement, demolition or major repair work. This excludes routine, recurring and usual work for the preservation, protection, or maintenance of publicly owned land, improvements and equipment.

4. For purposes of this policy, the scope of a proposed capital improvement project may be defined as the work to be undertaken at a single location. However, if work at a specific location would not otherwise meet the cost threshold for establishing a separate capital improvement project, and similar work is to take place at other locations(s) during the six-year plan, then all such similar work shall be defined as one capital improvement project.

5. The Capital Improvement Plan process will realistically assess potential future revenues and avoid commitments for projects that lack economic feasibility. The Capital Improvement Plan will recognize the borrowing limitation of the City and the debt tolerance of the City as a whole.

E. DEBT MANAGEMENT

1. The most appropriate use of debt financing is for the purchase or construction of major capital facilities that will serve as a long-term community asset. In this instance, the use of a long-term debt instrument can spread the acquisition and construction costs of the facility over the period of years during which it will be used by the community. On the one hand, today’s taxpayers need not pay for benefits enjoyed by others in the future. On the other hand, current residents should not burden their successors with costs that exceed the benefits of aging facilities.

2. The City will not use long-term debt financing for any recurring purpose such as current operating and maintenance expenditures.

3. The City’s debt management shall conform to all other budgeting and financial reporting policies where applicable. All debt issuance shall comply with Federal and State requirements.

4. The term of any City debt issue shall not exceed the useful life of the assets being acquired or constructed by the debt issue.

5. Accompanying each debt issue will be an assessment of the City’s capacity to repay the debt. The assessment will address the effects on the current Operating Budget, Capital Improvement Plan, and Eight-Year Resource Allocation Plan. Commitments to future operations, maintenance costs and stable debt retirement sources will also be identified.

6. For all outstanding General Fund debt, the City will not exceed a maximum debt burden of 12% of Operating Revenues. This debt service ratio shall be calculated as follows:

Direct Net Debt Service (1)
Operating Revenues (2) + Enterprise Fund Net Cash Flow
(1) Direct Net Debt is defined as any debt service paid by the General Fund and does not include self-supporting debt such as special assessments. (2) For the purpose of this calculation Operating Revenues shall include interest earnings which shall be limited to a maximum of 10% of General Fund Revenues.

7. In addition, the City shall calculate the Direct Net Debt Per Capita ratio and verify that it falls within the guidelines as recommended by Standard & Poor’s bond rating agency to assure that the City maintain the best possible bond rating. The ratio shall be calculated as follows:

Direct Net Debt Outstanding (1)
Population
(1) Direct Net Debt is defined as debt that is supported by the General Fund. It does not include any self-supporting debt such as special assessments.

8. No bond issue will be undertaken without consulting appropriate external financial advisers, bond counsel and disclosure counsel.

Financial advisers and bond counsel will be selected in a manner consistent with the City’s customary practice of hiring professional services.

9. The City will provide full disclosure on every financial report and bond prospectus and will strive to maintain the best possible bond rating on all debt issuances including an AA implied underlying General Fund rating from Standard & Poor’s, or its equivalent.

Ongoing efforts will be taken to improve and enhance the City’s bond rating and the marketability of its debt.

F. REVENUE AND EXPENDITURES

1. The City will maintain a level of expenditures which will provide for the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the community.

2. The City will endeavor to maintain a diversified and stable revenue base to minimize the effects of fluctuations in any single revenue source. Efforts will be directed to optimize existing revenue sources while periodically reviewing potential new revenue sources.

3. The City will project revenues using conventional forecasting methods including trend and statistical analysis. In the case of assumption uncertainty, conservative projections will be utilized based on appropriate and available socio-political and economic factors.

4. Intergovernmental assistance shall be used to finance only those capital improvements that are consistent with the City’s Capital Improvement Plan and local government priorities, and whose 113 Version 3 (updated for 6/20/23 meeting)

operation and maintenance costs have been included in operating budget forecasts.

5. User fees shall not exceed the reasonable estimated cost of providing the service (or for administering the regulatory program) for which the fee is charged and shall not be levied for revenue generating purposes. Such costs are to be apportioned so that charges allocated to a payer bear a fair and reasonable relationship to the payer’s burdens on or benefits from the service or regulatory activity.

User fees shall be established to ensure that the fees are reasonable, fair, equitable in nature, and are proportionately representative of the costs incurred by the City. The City shall recalculate the full cost of activities supported by user fees to take into account inflation and other cost increases at least every seven years.

6. Direct development processing costs and related administrative expenses shall be totally offset by development fees, whenever possible. However, in the interest of public health, safety and welfare, the City Council may, at its discretion, establish a charge and or fee that does not fully recover the costs of providing the service.

7. The City Manager will provide quarterly reports to the City Council that compares year-to-date actuals with revenue projections. The City Manager will notify the City Council whenever changing operations or economic developments require corrective budgetary measures.

8. Gas tax revenues will be annually earmarked to offset all costs in connection with the City’s annual street maintenance program. The City will strive to maintain this program in such a manner that will not require the infusion of General Fund revenues.

G. FUND BALANCE

1. Fund balance is essentially the difference between the assets and liabilities reported in a governmental fund. There are five separate components of fund balance, each of which identifies the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts can be spent.
 Nonspendable fund balance (inherently nonspendable)
 Restricted fund balance (externally enforceable limitations on use)

Packet Pg. 121 Attachment: Biennial Budget (3207 : Budget Study Session) City Council Policy
No. 105
Financial Policies
 Committed fund balance (self-imposed limitations on use)  Assigned fund balance (limitation resulting from intended use)  Unassigned fund balance (residual net resources)
The first two components listed above are not addressed in this policy due to the nature of their restrictions. An example of nonspendable fund balance is prepaid items. Restricted fund balance is either imposed by law or constrained by grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments. This policy is focused on financial reporting of unrestricted fund balance, or the last three components listed above.

2. Committed Fund Balance: The City Council may commit fund balance for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal actions taken, such as an ordinance or resolution. These committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City Council removes or changes the specified use through the same type of formal action taken to establish the commitment.

3. Assigned Fund Balance: These are amounts that are constrained by the City’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor commited. This policy hereby delegates the authority to assign amounts to be used for specific purposes to the City Manager, or his/her designee, for the purpose of reporting these amounts in the annual financial statements.

4. Unassigned Fund Balance: These are the residual positive net resources of the general fund in excess of what can properly be classified in one of the other four categories.

5. Restricted fund balance should be spent first when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance are available. Similarly, when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of the unrestricted classifications of fund balance could be used, then committed amounts should be reduced first, followed by assigned amounts and then unassigned amounts.

H. RESERVES

1. The City will strive to achieve and maintain a minimum Assigned and Unassigned (hereafter, Unencumbered) Fund Balance Reserve of 40% of the annual operating budget for operating contingencies, emergencies caused by calamitous events, economic uncertainty and 115 Version 3 (updated for 6/20/23 meeting)

Financial Policies
to stabilize fluctuations in cash flow requirements. The formula for calculating this ratio is:

Budgeted or Projected Year End Unencumbered Fund Balance Current Operating Expenditures + Direct Net Debt Service The City will also strive to achieve and maintain a minimum Unassigned Fund Balance of 25%. The formula for calculating this ratio will be the same as that above, but will exclude Assigned portions of Fund Balance.

2. In order to meet long-range maintenance and future equipment repair and replacement needs, the City shall maintain Maintenance Reserve Funds for: the Community Center; the Sports Complex; the Civic Center; and park equipment for component parts with a value of over $ 50,000. The City shall maintain a fiscally responsible funding plan that will fully fund the long-term maintenance and replacement costs of major capital equipment within these facilities.

The City shall conduct a reserve analysis study to determine the amount required to fully fund the Maintenance Reserve at least every seven (7) years. The City will annually assign a portion of fund balance to fully fund the anticipated maintenance and replacement costs for identified components.

3. A Liability Self-Insurance Fund shall be maintained for the purpose of setting aside resources for costs not covered by the City’s insurance programs such as claims within the City’s self-insurance retention.

4. The City shall maintain a PERS Employer Contribution Stabilization Fund in order to reduce volatility in the employer contribution rates set by PERS. If the City’s Actual Required Contribution (ARC) in any given year falls below 9%, the City shall contribute to this stabilization fund the difference between 9% and the City’s actual ARC. In years when the actual ARC is above 9%, the City Manager may use monies in the Stabilization Fund to pay for any contribution amounts above 9%. The City Manager will notify the City Council when monies from this fund are used to pay any portion of the City’s ARC above 9%.

5. The City shall remain in compliance with the requirement of the Government Accounting Standards Board’s (GASB) most current Statements for the accounting and disclosure of information 116 Version 3 (updated for 6/20/23 meeting)

regarding the City’s measurement and recognition of pension expenditures and related assets and liabilities.

I. EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION

1. The City has an established employee compensation program that is designed to attract and retain highly qualified individuals who are capable of delivering a high level of service in a streamlined organization. The City will continue this commitment to competitive, market-based compensation and pay for performance.

2. For non-management employees, the City will strive to maintain a highly competitive salary and benefits program which sets the top step of salary ranges at 5% above the Comparator Agencies average for each comparable position. The Comparator Agencies are those cities identified in the City’s 2011 Comprehensive Compensation Study. The City Manager will annually conduct a survey of comparable positions in the Comparator Agencies and recommend to the City Council salary adjustments in keeping with this policy, or any current Memorandum of Understanding.

3. Salary adjustments within a classification range may be given after the required comprehensive performance appraisal and will be based on merit only.
