ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Not applicable

PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
June 10, 2024

BACKGROUND
Each year, staff prepares the Operating Budget and Capital Improvement and Major Maintenance Program (CIMMP) to align with the City Council’s strategic priorities. The Operating Budget outlines the City’s planned revenues and expenditures for the fiscal year, while the CIMMP identifies capital projects over a five-year period. Both documents are developed in coordination with all departments, reviewed by the Financial Commission, and presented to Council for input during the study session prior to adoption.

ANALYSIS
3 Agenda Item 1.

The proposed FY2025/26 Operating Budget includes $65.1 million in General Fund revenues, reflecting a 3% increase over estimated revenues for FY2024/25. This growth is primarily driven by a 7% projected increase in property tax revenue and a 10% rise in recreation program revenue, along with continued collections from the transient occupancy tax (TOT), documentary transfer tax (DDT), and utility users tax (UUT).

General Fund expenditures are projected at $56.6 million, reflecting a 10% increase compared to FY2024/25 estimates. This increase is driven by several factors, including rising personnel costs - such as the filling of previously vacant positions - as well as increases in the City’s contracts for fire protection and animal control services. Additional cost growth is related to the implementation of a new parking management program, which includes contracted parking enforcement services.

Departmentally, Development Services is projected to increase by 24%, largely due to consultant costs for plan check services, work on the Urban Forest Master Plan, and support for belowmarket-rate (BMR) housing. Parks and Recreation expenditures are also expected to rise by 10% to support expanded programs and community activities.

The proposed budget results in a projected $8.5 million surplus. After planned transfers to reserves and internal service funds, the unassigned General Fund balance is estimated at $17.2 million, which represents 30% of budgeted expenditures. This is in addition to the City’s 20% Emergency and Operating Reserve, reflecting a strong and stable financial position.

The FY2026 Capital Improvement and Major Maintenance Program (CIMMP) includes $24.6 million in planned projects, with a total of $53.2 million programmed through FY2030. Major FY2026 projects include citywide street resurfacing and slurry seal, planning and design of a downtown park space with parking, the San Antonio Complete Streets project, and improvements to dog parks and playgrounds. These projects will be funded through a combination of General Fund contributions, state transportation revenues (SB1, Measure B, Gas Tax), and grants.

DISCUSSION
The FY2025/26 Operating Budget and FY2026–30 Capital Improvement and Major Maintenance Program (CIMMP) have been developed in alignment with Council’s strategic goals and current financial policies. This study session is intended to present the full scope of projected revenues, expenditures, and capital investments, along with associated fund balances and reserve levels. Staff will provide an overview of the major changes from the prior fiscal year and highlight key program and project adjustments. Feedback from the study session will be used to finalize the documents in preparation for formal adoption in June 2025.

three feasible conceptual design alternatives, create
cost estimates and identify funding sources for the
alternatives, garner consensus on preferred
alternatives, and provide a final update to City Council.

At that time, City Council will move forward with the
preferred design and create full bid-ready construction documents.

9 CD-01024 General Plan Studies
The General Plan is the vision about how a community
will grow, reflecting priorities and values while shaping the future. The City of Los Altos General Plan was last updated in 2002. Countless State laws have been
established which necessitates a comprehensive
overhaul of the exististing adopted plan. Most recently the City adopted its 6th Cycle Housing Element to
comply with State Housing law. Upon adoption of a
City's 6th Cycle Housing Element, the jurisdiction must update its Safety Element. When a jurisdiction is
required to update two or more required elements of
the General Plan it necessitates the creation of an
additional required element, the Environmental Justice
Element. Additionally, the City in 2022 adopted both its Climate Acition & Adaptaton Plan (CAAP) and it
Complete Streets Master Plan (CSMP) both of which
provide direction on how the City should continue to
grow and develop well into the future. However, it is
important for the City of Los Altos to integrate policies and the overall vision of both documents into the
General Plan as it is the highest level regulatory land use document within the City.

The existing stand-by generators at City Hall, Police

beyond their useful life and in need of replacement. The City has been required by Bay Area Air Quality
Management District (BAAQMD) and California Air
Resources Board (CARB) to register the emergency
generator under the Portable Equipment Registration
Program. The generator is subject to unscheduled
inspections by the State for compliance with emission
requirements. While the existing generator is meeting
the current emission requirements, it is aging and at risk of exceeding emission standards soon. A new more
energy-efficient generator will meet all BAAQMD
requirements and will be more cost-effective to

to the dog park at McKenzie. The Hillview dog park is
planned to be located where the current auxillary
parking area currently is across from the main library.

Funding for this project includes conceptual design &
public outreach in previous year and construction in the comming year. Construction includes drainage,
grading, irrigation, fencing, plumbing, pathway lighting, landscape, hardscape, furniture signage and dog play
equipment. The design phase will produce a preferred
option that will be a divided "small dog/all dog" park and an alternative option that is an undivided "all-dog" park.

McKenzie upgrades may include fence expnasion,
surfacing improvements, drinking fountain, seating and
new landscape installation. This project is now

use it as a sub-station with a few interior upgrades that will allow officers better access to the south side of the city. The facility will have a reception area for the public along with workspace, fitness area and break area for
officers. Funding for this project is to install a small kitchen space as well as a shower and changing space.

Inspection
Wastewater
Systems
As sewer system networks age, the risk of deterioration, blockages, and collapses become a major concern.

Cleaning and inspecting sewer lines is essential to
maintaining a properly functioning system. These
activities further a community’s reinvestment into its
wastewater infrastructure. Inspection programs are
required to determine current sewer conditions and to
aid in planning a maintenance or rehabilitation strategy.

Closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspections are the
most frequently used, most cost efficient, and most
effective method to inspect the internal condition of a sewer.

The 2013 Sanitary Sewer Master Plan Update
recommends full video inspection of the sanitary sewer
system every 5 years. Current system CCTV data was
last collected between 2021 and 2023.

The seal typically places a thin layer of sand and oil over City streets. Neighborhood streets should receive a
surface treatment (slurry seal) other than an overlay
about every seven years. Sealing is a preventative
maintenance treatment that prevents moisture from
penetrating the pavement and softening the base
material supporting the pavement.
