The Bid opening took place on the PlanetBids Platform on Wednesday, May 31, 2023, at 10:00 am (PST). The following six (6) bids were received:

ADDENDUM

By executing this Addendum, Contractor acknowledges and agrees that the work performed pursuant to the above referenced Agreement is subjected to all applicable provisions.

Payment of Minimum Compensation to Employees. Contractor shall be obligated to pay not less than the General Prevailing Wages Rate as required by applicable law.

A. Prevailing Wage Requirements. California Labor Code requires the payment of not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages and rates for holiday and overtime and adherence to all labor standards and regulations. The General Prevailing Wages Rates may be adjusted throughout the term of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Contractor shall not be entitled to any adjustment in compensation rates in the event there are adjustments to the General Prevailing Wages Rates.

B. Reports. Contractor shall not perform on site work on this contract until labor compliance documents are filed. Contractor agrees to cooperate with the City to fulfill its notifications requirement to the DIR, as required by DIR’s PWC-100 form or any other required form, and Contractor agrees to provide to the City the information required by the DIR, as generally set forth in Labor Code Section 1773.3. By signing this form, Contractor, and all of its subcontractors, represents that it has registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5 [with limited exceptions under Labor Code section 1771.1(a)] and paid the annual fee due to the DIR, unless the Contractor meets an exception recognized by the DIR or by the law.

C. Furnishing of Electronic Certified Payroll Records to Labor Commissioner.

Contractor and subcontractor agree to furnish the required electronic certified payroll records directly to the Labor Commissioner (aka Division of Labor Standards Enforcement), in the manner and under the time frame required by law.

D. Audit Rights. All records or documents required to be kept pursuant to this Agreement to verify compliance with the Wage Requirement shall be made available for audit at no cost to City, at any time during regular business hours, upon written request by the City Attorney, City Auditor, City Manager, or a designated representative of any of these officers. Copies of such records or documents shall be provided to City for audit at City Hall when it is practical to do so. Otherwise, unless an alternative is mutually agreed upon, the records or documents shall be available at CONTRACTOR’s address indicated for receipt of notices in this Contract.

E. Enforcement.

1. General. CONTRACTOR acknowledges it has read and understands that, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, it is required to comply 726

Part 1 BD - 41
with the Wage Requirement and to submit certain documentation to the City establishing its compliance with such requirement. (“Documentation Provision.”) CONTRACTOR further acknowledges the City has determined that the Wage Requirement promotes each of the following (collectively “Goals”):
a. It protects public job opportunities and stimulates the City’s economy by reducing the incentive to recruit and pay a substandard wage to labor from distant, cheap-labor areas.
b. It benefits the public through the superior efficiency of well-paid employees.
c. It increases competition by promoting a more level playing field among contractors with regard to the wages paid to workers.

2. CONTRACTOR’s Breach of Prevailing Wage/Living Wage Provisions.

WITHHOLDING OF PAYMENT: CONTRACTOR agrees that the
Documentation Provision is critical to the City’s ability to monitor CONTRACTOR’s compliance with the City’s public wage obligations.

CONTRACTOR’s further agrees its breach of the Documentation Provision or general public wage obligations results in the need for additional enforcement action to verify compliance with this Addendum. In light of the critical importance of the Documentation Provision, the City and CONTRACTOR agree that CONTRACTOR’s compliance with this Addendum is an express condition of City’s obligation to make each payment due to the CONTRACTOR pursuant to this Agreement. THE CITY IS NOT OBLIGATED TO MAKE ANY PAYMENT

DUE THE CONTRACTOR UNTIL CONTRACTOR HAS PERFORMED ALL OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THESE PROVISIONS. THIS PROVISION MEANS

THAT CITY CAN WITHOLD ALL OR PART OF A PAYMENT TO
CONTRACTOR UNTIL ALL REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION IS SUBMITTED.

Any payment by the City despite CONTRACTOR’s failure to fully perform its obligations under these provisions shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other term or condition contained in this Agreement or a waiver of the right to withhold payment for any subsequent breach of this Documentation Provision or public wage obligations of the Contractor and the City.

Prior to completion of Project and when requested by City Engineer, Contractor shall submit a copy of site drawing and certificate signed by California Registered Land Surveyor or Professional Engineer as applicable, that elevations and locations of Work are in conformance with Contract Documents.

Contractor shall set permanent monuments and file “Record of Survey Map”. The contractor shall be responsible for maintaining a complete and accurate log of control and survey work as it progresses.

Contractor shall verify locations of survey control points prior to starting any work on the Project Site. Contractor shall establish and submit to City Engineer any temporary control points as necessary due to construction activity. The Contractor shall notify City Engineer of any discrepancies discovered and resolved prior to starting any work.

The Contractor shall lay out work from the City Engineer's established control points, baselines, ranges, and gauges and shall be responsible for all measurements in connection therewith. Furnish, at Contractor's expense, all stakes, templates, platforms, equipment, range markers, and labor as may be required in laying out any part of the Work from the points and lines established by the City Engineer. The Contractor will be held responsible for the execution of the Work to such lines and grades as may be established or indicated by the City Engineer. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to maintain and preserve all stakes and other marks established by the City Engineer until authorized to remove them. If such marks are destroyed by the Contractor or through negligence prior to their authorized removal, they may be replaced by the City Engineer at City Engineer's discretion. The expense of replacement will be deducted from any amounts due, or to become due, the Contractor.

Surveying shall conform to methods, procedures, and requirements of the CALTRANS Survey Manual. Contractor shall set finish grades at a maximum of 50-ft. intervals for dirt, 25-ft. intervals for rock and at all grade breaks. Contractor shall establish or reestablish baselines and field control points as necessary and provide all basic site engineering to assure accurate locations and elevations for construction. It will be contractor’s responsibility to verify location and elevation of existing structures and utilities as required 797

808

Part 4 BD - 11
Labor Code Section 1771
Requirement of prevailing local rate for work under contract

Except for public works projects of one thousand dollars ($1,000) or less, not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for work of a similar character in the locality in which the public work is performed, and not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for holiday and overtime work fixed as provided in this chapter, shall be paid to all workers employed on public works.

This section is applicable only to work performed under contract, and is not applicable to work carried out by a public agency with its own forces. This section is applicable to contracts let for maintenance work.

Labor Code Section 1775
Forfeiture for paying less than prevailing wage rates; Amount of penalty; Payments to workers; Liability of prime contractor; Notification of complaint

(a)

(1) The contractor and any subcontractor under the contractor shall, as a penalty to the state or political subdivision on whose behalf the contract is made or awarded, forfeit not more than fifty dollars ($50) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rates as determined by the director for the work or craft in which the worker is employed for any public work done under the contract by the contractor or, except as provided in subdivision (b), by any subcontractor under the contractor.

(2)

(A) The amount of the penalty shall be determined by the Labor Commissioner based on consideration of both of the following:

(i) Whether the failure of the contractor or subcontractor to pay the correct rate of per diem wages was a good faith mistake and, if so, the error was promptly and voluntarily corrected when brought to the attention of the contractor or subcontractor.

(ii) Whether the contractor or subcontractor has a prior record of failing to meet its prevailing wage obligations.

(B)

(i) The penalty may not be less than ten dollars ($10) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rate, unless the failure of the contractor or subcontractor to pay the correct rate of per diem wages was a good faith mistake and, if so, the error was promptly and voluntarily corrected when brought to the attention of the contractor or subcontractor.

(ii) The penalty may not be less than twenty dollars ($20) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rate, if the contractor or subcontractor has been assessed penalties within the previous three years for failing to meet its prevailing wage obligations on a separate contract, unless those penalties were subsequently withdrawn or overturned.

(iii) The penalty may not be less than thirty dollars ($30) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rate, if the Labor Commissioner determines that the violation was willful, as defined in subdivision (c) of Section 1777.1.

(C) When the amount due under this section is collected from the contractor or subcontractor, any outstanding wage claim under Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720) of Part 7 of Division 2 against that contractor or subcontractor shall be satisfied before applying that amount to the penalty imposed on 809

Part 4 BD - 12
that contractor or subcontractor pursuant to this section.

(D) The determination of the Labor Commissioner as to the amount of the penalty shall be reviewable only for abuse of discretion.

(E) The difference between the prevailing wage rates and the amount paid to each worker for each calendar day or portion thereof for which each worker was paid less than the prevailing wage rate shall be paid to each worker by the contractor or subcontractor, and the body awarding the contract shall cause to be inserted in the contract a stipulation that this section will be complied with.

(b) If a worker employed by a subcontractor on a public works project is not paid the general prevailing rate of per diem wages by the subcontractor, the prime contractor of the project is not liable for any penalties under subdivision (a) unless the prime contractor had knowledge of that failure of the subcontractor to pay the specified prevailing rate of wages to those workers or unless the prime contractor fails to comply with all of the following requirements:

(1) The contract executed between the contractor and the subcontractor for the performance of work on the public works project shall include a copy of the provisions of Sections 1771, 1775, 1776, 1777.5, 1813, and 1815.

(2) The contractor shall monitor the payment of the specified general prevailing rate of per diem wages by the subcontractor to the employees, by periodic review of the certified payroll records of the subcontractor.

(3) Upon becoming aware of the failure of the subcontractor to pay his or her workers the specified prevailing rate of wages, the contractor shall diligently take corrective action to halt or rectify the failure, including, but not limited to, retaining sufficient funds due the subcontractor for work performed on the public works project.

(4) Prior to making final payment to the subcontractor for work performed on the public works project, the contractor shall obtain an affidavit signed under penalty of perjury from the subcontractor that the subcontractor has paid the specified general prevailing rate of per diem wages to his or her employees on the public works project and any amounts due pursuant to Section 1813.

(c) The Division of Labor Standards Enforcement shall notify the contractor on a public works project within 15 days of the receipt by the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement of a complaint of the failure of a subcontractor on that public works project to pay workers the general prevailing rate of per diem wages

Labor Code Section 1777.5
Employment of apprentices on public works

(a) Nothing in this chapter shall prevent the employment of properly registered apprentices upon public works.

(b) Every apprentice employed upon public works shall be paid the prevailing rate of per diem wages for apprentices in the trade to which he or she is registered and shall be employed only at the work of the craft or trade to which he or she is registered.

(c) Only apprentices, as defined in Section 3077, who are in training under apprenticeship standards that have been approved by the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards and who are parties to written apprentice agreements under Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 3070) of Division 3 are eligible to be employed at the apprentice wage rate on public works. The employment and training of each apprentice shall be in accordance with either of the following:

(1) The apprenticeship standards and apprentice agreements under which he or she is training.

(2) The rules and regulations of the California Apprenticeship Council.

810

Part 4 BD - 13
(d) When the contractor to whom the contract is awarded by the state or any political subdivision, in performing any of the work under the contract, employs workers in any apprenticeable craft or trade, the contractor shall employ apprentices in at least the ratio set forth in this section and may apply to any apprenticeship program in the craft or trade that can provide apprentices to the site of the public work for a certificate approving the contractor under the apprenticeship standards for the employment and training of apprentices in the area or industry affected. However, the decision of the apprenticeship program to approve or deny a certificate shall be subject to review by the Administrator of Apprenticeship. The apprenticeship program or programs, upon approving the contractor, shall arrange for the dispatch of apprentices to the contractor. A contractor covered by an apprenticeship program's standards shall not be required to submit any additional application in order to include additional public works contracts under that program. "Apprenticeable craft or trade," as used in this section, means a craft or trade determined as an apprenticeable occupation in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the California Apprenticeship Council. As used in this section, "contractor" includes any subcontractor under a contractor who performs any public works not excluded by subdivision (o).

(e) Prior to commencing work on a contract for public works, every contractor shall submit contract award information to an applicable apprenticeship program that can supply apprentices to the site of the public work. The information submitted shall include an estimate of journeyman hours to be performed under the contract, the number of apprentices proposed to be employed, and the approximate dates the apprentices would be employed. A copy of this information shall also be submitted to the awarding body if requested by the awarding body. Within 60 days after concluding work on the contract, each contractor and subcontractor shall submit to the awarding body, if requested, and to the apprenticeship program a verified statement of the journeyman and apprentice hours performed on the contract. The information under this subdivision shall be public. The apprenticeship programs shall retain this information for 12 months.

(f) The apprenticeship program that can supply apprentices to the area of the site of the public work shall ensure equal employment and affirmative action in apprenticeship for women and minorities.

(g) The ratio of work performed by apprentices to journeymen employed in a particular craft or trade on the public work may be no higher than the ratio stipulated in the apprenticeship standards under which the apprenticeship program operates where the contractor agrees to be bound by those standards, but, except as otherwise provided in this section, in no case shall the ratio be less than one hour of apprentice work for every five hours of journeyman work.

(h) This ratio of apprentice work to journeyman work shall apply during any day or portion of a day when any journeyman is employed at the jobsite and shall be computed on the basis of the hours worked during the day by journeymen so employed. Any work performed by a journeyman in excess of eight hours per day or 40 hours per week shall not be used to calculate the ratio. The contractor shall employ apprentices for the number of hours computed as above before the end of the contract or, in the case of a subcontractor, before the end of the subcontract. However, the contractor shall endeavor, to the greatest extent possible, to employ apprentices during the same time period that the journeymen in the same craft or trade are employed at the jobsite. Where an hourly apprenticeship ratio is not feasible for a particular craft or trade, the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards, upon application of an apprenticeship program, may order a minimum ratio of not less than one apprentice for each five journeymen in a craft or trade classification.

(i) A contractor covered by this section that has agreed to be covered by an apprenticeship program's standards upon the issuance of the approval certificate, or that has been previously approved for an apprenticeship program in the craft or trade, shall employ the number of apprentices or the ratio of apprentices to journeymen stipulated in the applicable apprenticeship standards, but in no event less than the 1-to-5 ratio required by subdivision (g).

(j) Upon proper showing by a contractor that he or she employs apprentices in a particular craft or trade in the state on all of his or her contracts on an annual average of not less than one hour of apprentice work for every five hours of labor performed by journeymen, the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards may grant a certificate exempting the contractor from the 1-to-5 hourly ratio, as set forth in this section for that craft or trade.
811

Part 4 BD - 14

(k) An apprenticeship program has the discretion to grant to a participating contractor or contractor association a certificate, which shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator of Apprenticeship, exempting the contractor from the 1-to-5 ratio set forth in this section when it finds that any one of the following conditions is met:

(1) Unemployment for the previous three-month period in the area exceeds an average of 15 percent.

(2) The number of apprentices in training in the area exceeds a ratio of 1 to 5.

(3) There is a showing that the apprenticeable craft or trade is replacing at least one-thirtieth of its journeymen annually through apprenticeship training, either on a statewide basis or on a local basis.

(4) Assignment of an apprentice to any work performed under a public works contract would create a condition that would jeopardize his or her life or the life, safety, or property of fellow employees or the public at large, or the specific task to which the apprentice is to be assigned is of a nature that training cannot be provided by a journeyman.

(l) When an exemption is granted pursuant to subdivision (k) to an organization that represents contractors in a specific trade from the 1-to-5 ratio on a local or statewide basis, the member contractors shall not be required to submit individual applications for approval to local joint apprenticeship committees, if they are already covered by the local apprenticeship standards.

(m)

(1) A contractor to whom a contract is awarded, who, in performing any of the work under the contract, employs journeymen or apprentices in any apprenticeable craft or trade shall contribute to the California Apprenticeship Council the same amount that the director determines is the prevailing amount of apprenticeship training contributions in the area of the public works site. A contractor may take as a credit for payments to the council any amounts paid by the contractor to an approved apprenticeship program that can supply apprentices to the site of the public works project. The contractor may add the amount of the contributions in computing his or her bid for the contract.

(2) At the conclusion of the 2002-03 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the California Apprenticeship Council shall distribute training contributions received by the council under this subdivision, less the expenses of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards for administering this subdivision, by making grants to approved apprenticeship programs for the purpose of training apprentices. The funds shall be distributed as follows:

(A) If there is an approved multiemployer apprenticeship program serving the same craft or trade and geographic area for which the training contributions were made to the council, a grant to that program shall be made.

(B) If there are two or more approved multiemployer apprenticeship programs serving the same craft or trade and geographic area for which the training contributions were made to the council, the grant shall be divided among those programs based on the number of apprentices registered in each program.

(C) All training contributions not distributed under subparagraphs (A) and (B) shall be used to defray the future expenses of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards.

(3) All training contributions received pursuant to this subdivision shall be deposited in the Apprenticeship Training Contribution Fund, which is hereby created in the State Treasury. Notwithstanding Section 13340 of the Government Code, all money in the Apprenticeship Training Contribution Fund is hereby continuously appropriated for the purpose of carrying out this subdivision and to pay the expenses of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards.

(n) The body awarding the contract shall cause to be inserted in the contract stipulations to effectuate this 812

Part 4 BD - 15
section. The stipulations shall fix the responsibility of compliance with this section for all apprenticeable occupations with the prime contractor.

(o) This section does not apply to contracts of general contractors or to contracts of specialty contractors not bidding for work through a general or prime contractor when the contracts of general contractors or those specialty contractors involve less than thirty thousand dollars ($30,000).

(p) All decisions of an apprenticeship program under this section are subject to Section 3081.

Labor Code Section 1776

Payroll record of wages paid; Inspection; Forms; Effect of noncompliance; Penalties

(a) Each contractor and subcontractor shall keep accurate payroll records, showing the name, address, social security number, work classification, straight time and overtime hours worked each day and week, and the actual per diem wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice, worker, or other employee employed by him or her in connection with the public work. Each payroll record shall contain or be verified by a written declaration that it is made under penalty of perjury, stating both of the following:

(1) The information contained in the payroll record is true and correct.

(2) The employer has complied with the requirements of Sections 1771, 1811, and 1815 for any work performed by his or her employees on the public works project.

(b) The payroll records enumerated under subdivision (a) shall be certified and shall be available for inspection at all reasonable hours at the principal office of the contractor on the following basis:

(1) A certified copy of an employee's payroll record shall be made available for inspection or furnished to the employee or his or her authorized representative on request.

(2) A certified copy of all payroll records enumerated in subdivision (a) shall be made available for inspection or furnished upon request to a representative of the body awarding the contract, the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, and the Division of Apprenticeship Standards of the Department of Industrial Relations.

(3) A certified copy of all payroll records enumerated in subdivision (a) shall be made available upon request by the public for inspection or for copies thereof. However, a request by the public shall be made through either the body awarding the contract, the Division of Apprenticeship Standards, or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement. If the requested payroll records have not been provided pursuant to paragraph (2), the requesting party shall, prior to being provided the records, reimburse the costs of preparation by the contractor, subcontractors, and the entity through which the request was made. The public may not be given access to the records at the principal office of the contractor.

(c) The certified payroll records shall be on forms provided by the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement or shall contain the same information as the forms provided by the division. The payroll records may consist of printouts of payroll data that are maintained as computer records, if the printouts contain the same information as the forms provided by the division and the printouts are verified in the manner specified in subdivision (a).

(d) A contractor or subcontractor shall file a certified copy of the records enumerated in subdivision (a) with the entity that requested the records within 10 days after receipt of a written request.

(e) Any copy of records made available for inspection as copies and furnished upon request to the public or any public agency by the awarding body, the Division of Apprenticeship Standards, or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement shall be marked or obliterated to prevent disclosure of an individual's name, address, and social security number. The name and address of the contractor awarded the contract or the subcontractor performing the contract shall not be marked or obliterated. Any copy of records made 813

Part 4 BD - 16
available for inspection by, or furnished to, a joint labor-management committee established pursuant to the federal Labor Management Cooperation Act of 1978 (29 U.S.C. Sec. 175a) shall be marked or obliterated only to prevent disclosure of an individual's name and social security number. A joint labor management committee may maintain an action in a court of competent jurisdiction against an employer who fails to comply with Section 1774. The court may award restitution to an employee for unpaid wages and may award the joint labor management committee reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred in maintaining the action. An action under this subdivision may not be based on the employer's misclassification of the craft of a worker on its certified payroll records. Nothing in this subdivision limits any other available remedies for a violation of this chapter.

(f) The contractor shall inform the body awarding the contract of the location of the records enumerated under subdivision (a), including the street address, city, and county, and shall, within five working days, provide a notice of a change of location and address.

(g) The contractor or subcontractor has 10 days in which to comply subsequent to receipt of a written notice requesting the records enumerated in subdivision (a). In the event that the contractor or subcontractor fails to comply within the 10-day period, he or she shall, as a penalty to the state or political subdivision on whose behalf the contract is made or awarded, forfeit twenty-five dollars ($25) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker, until strict compliance is effectuated. Upon the request of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, these penalties shall be withheld from progress payments then due. A contractor is not subject to a penalty assessment pursuant to this section due to the failure of a subcontractor to comply with this section.

(h) The body awarding the contract shall cause to be inserted in the contract stipulations to effectuate this section.

(i) The director shall adopt rules consistent with the California Public Records Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 6250) of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code) and the Information Practices Act of 1977 (Title 1.8 (commencing with Section 1798) of Part 4 of Division 3 of the Civil Code) governing the release of these records, including the establishment of reasonable fees to be charged for reproducing copies of records required by this section.

Labor Code Section 1813
Penalty when workman required to work excess hours; Stipulation in contract; Cognizance and report of violations

The contractor or subcontractor shall, as a penalty to the state or political subdivision on whose behalf the contract is made or awarded, forfeit twenty-five dollars ($25) for each worker employed in the execution of the contract by the respective contractor or subcontractor for each calendar day during which the worker is required or permitted to work more than 8 hours in any one calendar day and 40 hours in any one calendar week in violation of the provisions of this article. In awarding any contract for public work, the awarding body shall cause to be inserted in the contract a stipulation to this effect. The awarding body shall take cognizance of all violations of this article committed in the course of the execution of the contract, and shall report them to the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement.

Labor Code Section 1815
Work performed in excess of specified hour limitations; Compensation

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 1810 to 1814, inclusive, of this code, and notwithstanding any stipulation inserted in any contract pursuant to the requirements of said sections, work performed by employees of contractors in excess of 8 hours per day, and 40 hours during any one week, shall be permitted upon public work upon compensation for all hours worked in excess of 8 hours per day at not less than 11/2 times the basic rate of pay.

Comments:

The City’s budget is an important policy document. It serves as an annual financial plan, identifying the spending priorities for the organization. The budget is used to balance available resources with community needs, as determined by the City Council. It also serves as a tool for communicating the City’s financial strategies and for ensuring accountability. The draft budget is posted and available for review online.

Generally, the City’s biennial operating budget process is a plan for two specified fiscal years. The fiscal years for this budget begin on July 1, 2023 and ends on June 30, 2025.

For the upcoming fiscal years, staff is presenting the proposed two-year operating and capital budgets for FY 2023-24 and 2024-25 for Council’s consideration. At the conclusion of the first fiscal year of this biennial budget cycle, i.e., end of FY 2023-24, staff will update the revenue estimates and appropriation, and bring back the revised FY 2024-25 budget for Council’s consideration.

The FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 Proposed Budgets were developed in the context of the City gradually recovering from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, but still facing a lot of economic uncertainties due to the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war, increasing trade conflict with China and supply chain disorder, as well as the continue inflationary pressures and the increasing recessionary risk.

On May 30, 2023, the City Council conducted a Budget Workshop to review and discuss the FY 2023-25 Proposed Biennial Citywide Budget. The focus at the Budget Workshop was on the General Fund. Staff has taken Council’s comments on the draft budget, made modifications, and incorporated them into the full FY 2023-25 Proposed Biennial Citywide Budget (City, Successor Agency, Lynwood Utility Authority, Appropriations Limit, and Master Fee Schedule), for formal adoption.

Background:

The City’s budget is an important policy document. It serves as an annual financial plan, identifying the spending priorities for the organization. The budget is used to balance available resources with community needs, as determined by the City Council. It also serves as a tool Lynwood Successor Agency City of Lynwood as Successor Agency to the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency 4 for communicating the City’s financial strategies and for ensuring accountability.

Generally, the City’s biennial operating budget process is a plan for two specified fiscal years.

The fiscal years for this budget begin on July 1, 2023 and ends on June 30, 2025. For the upcoming fiscal years, staff is presenting the proposed two-year operating and capital budgets for FY 2023-24 and 2024-25 for Council’s consideration. At the conclusion of the first fiscal year of this biennial budget cycle, i.e., end of FY 2023-24, staff will update the revenue estimates and appropriation, and bring back the revised FY 2024-25 budget for Council’s consideration.

Budget Development

Per the Lynwood Municipal Code, the City Manager is responsible for the development of a proposed budget for consideration by the City Council. The budget development process begins with a mid-year update of the current year budget and the General Fund revenue forecast, which establishes a general framework to develop budget guidelines for the upcoming fiscal year.

The primary goals in developing the operating budget have been to ensure public safety, improve the City’s deteriorating infrastructure, and maintain core services to residents and businesses while ensuring fiscal conservancy. The City’s budget was developed utilizing Zero- Based Budgeting (ZBB). ZBB is an approach to budgeting in which each budgeted year’s activities are evaluated in a self-contained fashion, with little or no weight given to the precedents of past years. ZBB is contrasted to incremental budgeting, in which the budget justification is focused on the difference between the current year and the proposed budget year.

In addition to using a ZBB approach to budgeting, the following fiscal policies have been developed by the City Manager to provide each department a consistent and strategic approach in preparing the City’s FY 2023-25 Proposed Biennial Citywide Budget.

• Minimize use “one-time money” for ongoing operations. • Budget decisions will be made as a whole in context, with no special requests considered in isolation.
• The perception of funding actions, as well as the fiscal impact, will be considered before expenditures are made.
• Make strategic use of volunteers, partnerships and collaborations, including with other Lynwood Successor Agency City of Lynwood as Successor Agency to the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency 5 public agencies, to meet community needs and/or provide services. • The Biennial Citywide Budget shall be prepared such that current revenues plus net operating transfers will be sufficient to support current expenditures. • Review options for consolidation of functions that reduce operational costs and improve efficiency.
• Expenditures from all operating funds shall not exceed the budgeted appropriations (as amended) for these funds.
• When capital projects are considered, all associated costs should be identified in order to properly assess future financial impacts.
• Any necessary reduction in permanent positions will be accomplished first through attrition and retirements, with layoffs used only as a last resort. • Each enterprise fund should reflect the true cost of operation, including direct and indirect costs of services provided by the General Fund. • The use of reserves does not provide a viable solution to the revenue/expenditure gap. • Once adopted, the biennial citywide budget should be amended only when urgency requires, and then by identifying specific funding sources for these new priorities.

These policies are intended to serve as guidelines for measuring financial performance, justifying programs and services and setting future budgetary goals.

Departmental budgets are submitted to the City Manager for review for the proposed fiscal year budget(s). A draft preliminary budget is prepared. Once the draft preliminary budget is prepared it is presented to the City Council to solicit input and obtain further direction before the budget is finalized for adoption.

Key Changes from May 30th Budget Workshop

Pursuant to Council direction at the May 30, 2023 Budget Workshop, the following key changes have been incorporated into the FY 2023-25 Proposed Biennial Citywide Budget:

• Personnel Changes - Addition of two (2) part-time Office Assistant II – City Manager’s Office; Addition of one (1) full-time Facility & Program Supervisor – Recreation & Community Services; Reclassify five (5) part-time Maintenance Worker into one (1) full-time and two (2) part-time Maintenance Worker – Public Works
• $500,000 from ARPA funds for Utility Assistance Program • $50,000 from ARPA funds for additional business license enforcement services • $448,000 from ARPA funds for MultiSensor Cameras
• $198,000 from ARPA funds for Citywide License Plate Readers Discussion and Analysis:

GENERAL FUND

The General Fund is the primary revenue source and operating fund for most of the services, such as public safety (Los Angeles County Sheriff & Fire), street and park maintenance, and community services, that the City provides to the community.

The FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 Proposed Budgets were developed in the context of the City gradually recovering from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, but still facing a lot of Lynwood Successor Agency City of Lynwood as Successor Agency to the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency 6 economic uncertainties due to the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war, increasing trade conflict with China and supply chain disorder, as well as the continue inflationary pressures and the increasing recessionary risk. For FY 2023-24, the proposed revenue for property, sales, and use taxes is comprised of 64.77%, or $27.58 million of the total $42.59 million in resources provided to the General Fund. Utility user’s tax, licenses, permits, franchise fees, fines, interest, rent and other miscellaneous sources represent 30.35%, or $12.93 million, of revenues. Interfund transfers from other funds make up another 4.88%, or $2.08 million of the total.

For FY 2024-25, the proposed revenue for property, sales, and use taxes is comprised of

59.55%, or $28.24 million of the total $47.42 million in resources provided to the General Fund. Utility user’s tax, licenses, permits, franchise fees, fines, interest, rent and other miscellaneous sources represent 28.66%, or $13.59 million, of revenues. Interfund transfers from other funds make up another 11.79%, or $5.59 million of the total.

The FY 2023-24 proposed budget includes $54.26 million in recommended expenditures.

Personnel costs, which include salaries and benefits, represent $8.99 million of the total expenditures. Operational costs, which include materials, services and supplies, account for $33.32 million of the budget. Debt service and transfers to other funds costs total $11.95 million. The proposed expenditures have increased by 31.22% or $12.91 million over FY 2022-23 revised adopted budget. Such substantial increase is primarily due to the $11.95 million budgeted transfers out in FY23-24, of which $7.82 million are related to CIP projects, which are considered as non-recurring expenditures.

The FY 2024-25 proposed budget includes $48.04 million in recommended expenditures.

Personnel costs, which include salaries and benefits, represent $9.25 expenditures.

Operational costs, which include materials, services and supplies, account for $34.33 million of the budget. Debt service and transfers to other funds costs total $4.46 million. The projected expenditures have increased by 16.19% or $6.69 million over the FY 2022-23 revised adopted budget (of which $2.69 million increase is attributable to the increase in Lynwood Successor Agency City of Lynwood as Successor Agency to the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency 7 contract cost of police and fire safety services), but decreased 11.45% or $6.21 million from proposed FY 2023-24 budget.

Some of the key highlights of the 2023-25 proposed budget include:

Sustained level of service for Public Safety
Continuous operation of City Hall services with no reductions in hours Contingency Set-Aside Fund Transfer - $1,366,737 (Beginning FB is at negative $366,737)

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (CIP) BUDGET

The combined CIP program for FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 is $55.13 million. For the fiscal years 2023–2024 and 2024–2025, non–general fund revenues will cover about 84.61% of the CIP, while general fund would cover the remaining 15.39%.

For FY 2023-24, water and sewer improvements total $16.09 million, street/alley/sidewalk/traffic improvements total $13.19 million, facilities/park improvements total $19.96 million, and other improvements total $550,000. For FY 2024-25, improvements to Water and Sewer facilities total $640,000 and street/alley/sidewalk/traffic improvements total $4.70 million.

PROPOSED WATER/SEWER RATE INCREASE
Lynwood Successor Agency City of Lynwood as Successor Agency to the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency 8

In efforts to maintain sufficient revenue to cover water/sewer operating expenses, the City has issued a prop 218 notice to increase the current rates that were last adjusted on April 18, 2017 for fiscal year 2017 through 2021. The establishment of the new rate structure allows the City achieve revenue stability, equitable cost recovery, and ratepayer affordability.

OTHER FUNDS – DEFICITS

For FY 2023-25, staff projects major operating deficits in the Landscape Maintenance Assessment District Fund and Equipment/Machinery/Vehicle Maintenance Fund. The operating deficit in the Landscape Maintenance Assessment District Fund for FY 2023-25 is due to the fact that proposed expenditures exceed revenues. The assessment rates have not been adjusted for more than 30 years. The rates have not kept up with current costs or CPI.

Therefore, operational expenses outpace tax assessment revenues.

The operating deficit in the Equipment/Machinery/Vehicle Maintenance Fund is due to higher equipment replacement and maintenance costs. City does not have a replacement fund for new equipment purchases/leases, and the existing maintenance fund does not have sufficient budget to cover the increasing equipment maintenance costs.

The FY 2023-25 proposed budgets include combined deficit of $10.46 million and $12.36 million for the Landscape Maintenance Assessment District Fund and Equip/Mach/Vehicle Maintenance Fund, respectively.

($12,365,333)
If no action is taken, the deficits (specifically the Landscape Maintenance Fund) will continue to increase. The General Fund cannot sustain these fund deficit amounts. The General Fund reserve will decline and ultimately become non-existent. The issue remains because the assessment rates for the Landscape Maintenance Fund have not been updated for years (last updated in FY 1998-99). Therefore, the Landscape Maintenance Fund will require action in the near future to address the ongoing funding source problems.

CONCLUSION

The final operating budget for FY 2023-25 reflects the ongoing efforts of staff to maintain service levels while achieving long-term fiscal stability. For many programs, comparisons between the proposed budget and prior-year budgets will show significant differences due to major modifications that have occurred across the organization in staffing levels, changes in delivery of service models, decreased reliance on consultants and thoughtful consideration to supply consumption.

Undoubtedly, much work lies ahead to achieve long-term fiscal sustainability. Over the course of the coming fiscal years, staff will continue to explore various methods for increasing revenue and providing services in the most cost-effective way possible, as well as examine different opportunities to address the City’s unfunded liabilities such as retiree medical, leave bank accruals, and retirement costs that continue to be major impediments to achieving fiscal sustainability.

Fiscal Impact:

It is estimated that the General Fund unassigned fund balance will complete the 2022-23 fiscal year, or to start the biennial budget of Fiscal Year 2023-25, at $17.10 million.

Unused appropriations and/or revenue exceeding expenses, at the end of every year, revert back to fund balance. Each fund’s fund balance can then be used for one-time expenses (non-operating) or put aside as a reserve for future purposes.

It is proposed by staff that
Council approve the transfer of those funds that exceeded expenses in 2022-23 to reserves, which are included in the year-end budget adjustments.

If Council elects to adopt the biennial budget of Fiscal Year 2023-25, the projected General Fund balance would be $5.30 million at the end of FY 2023-24 and $4.81 million at the end of FY 2024-25.

The draft proposed budget is available online for review by the City Council or the public.

Dear Fiscal Officer:

Subject: Price Factor and Population Information
Appropriations Limit
California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2227 requires the Department of Finance (Finance) to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments. Each local jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 20 23, in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations limit for fiscal year 2023-24. Attachment A provides the change in California’s per capita personal income and an example for utilizing the price factor and population percentage change factor to calculate the 2023-24 appropriations limit. Attachment B provides the city and unincorporated county population percentage change. Attachment C provides the population percentage change for counties and their summed incorporated areas. The population percentage change data excludes federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations.

Population Percent Change for Special Districts
Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2228 provides additional information regarding the appropriations limit.

Article XIII B, section 9(C) of the California Constitution exempts certain special districts from the appropriations limit calculation mandate. The code section and the California Constitution can be accessed at the following website: http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes.xhtml.

Special districts required by law to calculate their appropriations limit must present the calculation as part of their annual audit. Any questions special districts have on this requirement should be directed to their county, district legal counsel, or the law itself. No state agency reviews the local appropriations limits.

Population Certification
The population certification program applies only to cities and counties. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify any population estimate that exceeds the current certified population with the State Controller’s Office. Finance will certify the higher estimate to the State Controller by June 1, 2023.

Please Note: The prior year’s city population estimates may be revised. The per capita personal income change is based on historical data.

If you have any questions regarding this data, please contact the Demographic Research Unit at (916) 323-4086.

Attachment A
A. Price Factor: Article XIII B specifies that local jurisdictions select their cost of living factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their governing body. The cost of living factor provided here is per capita personal income. If the percentage change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage change to be used in setting the fiscal year 2023-24 appropriation limit is:

Per Capita Personal Income
Fiscal Year Percentage change
(FY) over prior year
2023-24 4.44
B. Following is an example using sample population change and the change in California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2023-24 appropriation limit.
2023-24:

Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 4.44 percent
Population Change = -0.35 percent
Per Capita Cost of Living converted to a ratio: 4.44 + 100 = 1.0444 100
Population converted to a ratio: -0.35 + 100 = 0.9965
100
Calculation of factor for FY 2023-24: 1.0444 x 0.9965 = 1.0407 16 Fiscal Year 2023-24

This Enterprise Fund is used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to a private business enterprise - where the intent of the City Council is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges.

The FY 2022-23 Projected Year-End (Unaudited) is $9.57 million in total revenues and $12.81 million in expenditures. The FY 2022-23 Projected Year-End (Unaudited) expenditures include $950,000 transfers-out. The unspent portion of the transfers-out for capital and improvement projects is included in the FY 2023-24 Proposed Budget.

The total FY 2023-24 Proposed Budget for the Water Fund is $14.72 million supported by $11.65 million in revenues. This budget includes $750,000 transfer-out to the General Fund and $1.30 million transfer-out to the Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) fund to support various capital improvement projects. Current bonding will provide the funding.

The total FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget for the Water Fund is $13.74 million supported by $11.65 million in revenues. This budget includes $750,000 transfer-out to the General Fund and $100,000 to the CIP fund to support various capital improvement projects. Current bonding will provide the funding.
