ITEM # 8
CITY OF MONTEBELLO
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Arlene Salazar, Assistant City Manager
BY: Michael Solorza, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF FISCAL YEAR 2023-24 OPERATING AND CAPITAL BUDGET
DATE: June 14, 2023
RECOMMENDATION(S):
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve a resolution adopting the Fiscal Year 2023-24 operating and capital budgets for all funds; and,
2. Approve a resolution adopting the compensation plan, table of organization and job classifications for Fiscal Year 2023-24 and,
3. Approve a resolution establishing a Fiscal Year 2023-24 appropriations limit per Government Code Section 7190 (Gann Limit); and,
4. Take other measures and actions necessary.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City of Montebello celebrates its second century of incorporation with the proposed Fiscal Year 2023-24 Operating and Capital budget. The City is faced with a unique combination of opportunities and challenges, with many new projects underway that will propel economic development in the community. The past fiscal year witnessed the continuation of progress towards financial sustainability.
The proposed all-funds budget includes $211,425,903 in expenditures and $208,909,686 in revenue. The majority of the difference between proposed expenditures and revenue is from utilizing available fund balance in the various Special Revenue Funds for capital projects such as reconstructing and paving City streets. There are also available bond proceeds from the “Paving the Way” Lease Revenue Bonds Series 2019ABC available for street and road projects. The table below shows an overview of revenue and expenditures, by major fund category:
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2023
A fuller and more detailed version of the proposed budget -- which includes line item details as well as summary tables and schedules of expenditure and revenue for every fund appropriated -- can be found on the City's website. https://www.montebelloca.gov/ . Review of that document in conjunction with this agenda report provides a complete picture of the proposed budget and its various details.
The General Fund budget, which provides funding for everyday services our residents depend on – Police, Fire, community services, code enforcement, street and park maintenance – is projected to have a $628,950 surplus. General Fund expenditures of $72,687,450 are less than forecasted revenues of $73,316,400.
General Fund revenues vs. expenditures are summarized below:
Total, all funds appropriations (expenditures and revenue) include General Fund operations as well as Transit (Montebello Bus Lines), the Hilton Garden Inn and Home2Suites, the various Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects funded with Local Return Funds (i.e., Measure R, Proposition C) ,Federal and State grants and bond proceeds, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME programs, grant awards, Property Tax Override payment of Pension Obligation Bond debt service and ongong pension normal costs, Successor Agency (former Redevelopment Agency) enforceable obligations, and many other projects, programs and operations utilizing various special and restricted funding sources.
The progress in right-sizing the City’s General Fund over the past four fiscal years is significant. Staff worked diligently to review all revenue and expenditure items, performing a “modified” zero-based budgeting exercise for the fourth consecutive year. This budget represents the fourth year of a five-year budget development process, with the end goal being the achievement of a sustainable and healthy budget that incorporates strategic goals while providing funding for essential daily operations.
General Fund
Total General Fund revenue is projected to be $73,316,400, a $4.631 million increase
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2023
(6.7%) over the FY 2022-23 adopted budget. The table below shows historical General Fund revenue by major category, from FY 2019-20 (actuals) to FY 2023-24 (projected).
Sales tax is projected to increase $958,100 year-over-year (3.8%) when compared to the FY 2022-23 adopted budget. The projected uptick in sales tax revenue is based on a steady economy, tempered by projections of a possible slow down at the end of calendar year 2023. The FY 2023-24 budget includes the fourth full year of Measure H revenue and more accurately reflects the expected amount as more data is available about this transaction and use tax source, which allows for more accurate forecasts.
Property Tax is also proving strong, with a 5.0% increase in Assessed Value, providing an additional $737,800 in the proposed budget. It must be noted that the positive impact of the Metro Heights project is not part of the FY 2023-24 property tax revenue forecast. The County assesses properties every January 1, as well as when an existing property is sold. While there were some completed Metro Heights properties as of January 1, 2023, the assessment that occurs January 1, 2024, which will impact FY 2024- 25 property tax revenue, will be the most significant and positive. During the 2023-24 fiscal year, staff will present updated property tax forecasts that incorporate sales of Metro Heights properties.
Licenses and Permits forecast an increase of $583,000 (9.0%), based on additional permit and development related revenue from the Metro Heights and Topgolf projects. Various permits (building, plumbing, mechanical) and plan check fees are seeing a several year bump as the Metro Heights development progresses. The Topgolf project also contributes to these revenue streams. The positive impact of these short- term projects is tempered in the FY 2023-24 forecast so as not to overestimate the (short- term) revenue from these additional permits and plan checks. Eventually, once these projects are completed, revenue for these permits and plan checks will level off to historical averages.
Franchise Fees are projected to increase $610,000, primarily from the addition of a new source of revenue: SB 1383 organic waste collection. This source of revenue alone is projected to contribute an additional $300,000 in annual revenue. This is a continuous source of revenue and helps build the General Fund revenue base for future years.
The City of Montebello is a full-service city, providing Police, Fire, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, Transit and various building, planning and internal support functions (i.e., Finance, Human Resources, Information Technology, etc.) to the community. The total
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2023
proposed FY 2023-24 General Fund expenditures budget supporting day-to-day functions is $72,687,450, a $4.697 million increase (6.9%) over the FY 2022-23 adopted budget.
The table below provides a department level view of expenditures for FY 2023-24, with comparisons to prior year budgets and actuals:
The 6.9% increase in appropriations in FY 2023-24 vs. FY 2022-23 encompasses many changes across all departments and expenditure types. With salary and benefits comprising 62.3% of the General Fund budget, any changes made in this category will have the greatest impact on expenditure. Maintenance and Operations comprises
34.6%, and Debt and Lease Payments make up the remaining 3.1% of the proposed General Fund budget:
It should be noted that approximately 96% of the City’s General Fund budget appropriations are “spoken for” in the way of commitments from MOUs, contracts, debt service payments, professional service agreements, utilities and other such expenses the City is obligated to pay. The table below provides an overview of the major expenditure categories and how much these commitments comprise of the General Fund budget:
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2023
This table illustrates how little leeway exists in the General Fund for re-directing appropriations or re-prioritizing spending from one area to another. The City has commitments to its employees through City Council approved MOUs, and long-term debt service and lease arrangements commit additional funds, while insurance and workers compensation expenses must be paid. The Contract services category encompasses landscape, custodial, street sweeping, graffiti removal, legal services, software licenses and many other types of required services.
Supplemental Requests: Maintenance and Operations / Staffing Several supplemental requests are included in the FY 2023-24 proposed budget. Many of the supplemental items are one-time, or semi-recurring in nature, such as reconfigured office space, purchase of banquet chairs and tables for the Senior Center, patrol and detective bureau vehicles in Police, re-branding of City buses, etc.
The tables below provide a summary and detailed listing of the various supplemental items included in the proposed budget, separated by General Fund ($188,400 in supplemental items) and non-General Fund items ($1,911,850). There is a total of $2,100,250 in supplemental requests included in the proposed budget:
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2023
Of the $2,100,250 in supplemental items included across all funds, $1,898,050 is one- time in nature. In other words, they are capital type equipment and/or vehicles with relatively long useful lives (five or more years). While these items will need to be replaced eventually, the costs associated with acquisition do not need to be budgeted annually. The recurring items (i.e., special event supplies, software licenses, etc.) total $65,000 and will become permanently budgeted items. There is an additional $137,200 in semi-recurring items that have shorter “shelf-lives” than vehicles or other capital items, and appropriations will need to be provided for in subsequent budgets (but not annually).
As can be seen by the descriptions above, many of the supplemental items are necessary due to the former practice of delaying equipment and infrastructure repairs and upgrades – vehicle replacements, mobile data terminals, etc. The FY 2023-24 budget represents the fourth year of playing “catch up” with the myriad deferred purchases. The majority of these supplemental equipment/vehicle items included in FY 2023-24 are for the Police Department: patrol vehicles, interview room camera and audio system replacement, mobile data terminal replacements, etc. However, every operating department continues
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2023
to identify unmet needs and such items will either be included in subsequent budgets as funding is available or presented to City Council during the fiscal year for action. For example, the Fire Department will be presenting Fire Engine purchases, hazard mitigation plan development and other items to City Council during FY 2023-24.
The proposed FY 2023-24 budget presents a net increase of 16.0 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions. This includes the removal of some obsolete classifications (i.e., Grant and Project Administrator) and the addition of positions to some departments (i.e., Police Officer [x4.0 FTE], Battalion Chief, Sr. Managment Analyst [Social Media Coordinator], Traffic Engineer, etc.). The table below shows total FTE and the year-over-year change by Department:*
*The 11.0 FTE in the newly created Public Affairs-Information Technology Department are not new positions; they have been moved from the Departments they were previously recorded in: Administration, Human Resources and Transit.
Over the last four fiscal years (FY 2023-24 included), key positions have been added in the areas of public safety, homeless assistance, public information, engineering, budget analysis, information technology, street/parks maintenance supervision, community service management, code and parking enforcement, transit and community beautification: Police Officers, Code Enforcement Officers, Fire Battalion Chief and Captain, Firefighter/Paramedic Trainee, Social Worker and Caseworker, Traffic Engineer, Public Information Officer, Crime Analyst, Senior Management Analyst, Community Services Coordinator, Bus Operator, Principal Engineer, etc..
For FY 2023-24, several departments requested positions through the supplemental budget process. The summary table below shows the new positions in the proposed budget that were included as part of the supplemental budget request process.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2023
Attached to this agenda report is the “Compensation Plan Resolution” (Attachment B) that lists every approved position classification and the accompanying salary range. It should be noted that as of May, 2022 a comprehensive, standard salary matrix now exists. The “Compensation Plan Resolution” updates prior resolutions by implementing the new standardized salary range matrix. That matrix has been included for reference, as Exhibit B1 to Attachment B.
Other Funds
The majority of revenue and expenditures comprising the City’s total budget (65.6%) are recorded in Special Funds, Enterprise Funds, Grant Funds, Trust and Agency Funds and Successor Agency Funds. Under governmental accounting rules, these funds are more restricted, and the use of revenue is dictated by certain guidelines based on the source of funding.
For example, the Los Angeles Country Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) provides Local Return Funds (LRF) to cities in Los Angeles County for various transit, road and street uses. These funds are recorded in their own separate funds: Measure M, Measure, R, Proposition A, and Proposition C. Montebello utilizes these revenues for transit projects, street rehabilitation, and related road projects.
The City also uses Enterprise Funds to account for Transit, Golf and Hotel (Hilton Garden Inn and Home2Suites) operations. The table below presents a high-level overview of all funds revenue and expenditures, proposed for FY 2022-23, grouped by “fund type:”
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2023
The table below provides a high level, historical overview of the major enterprise funds, followed by a brief description of each and highlights for the 2023-24 fiscal year.
Transit
The largest enterprise fund -- as measured by total expenditure and revenue appropriations – is Transit, Fund 600 (Montebello Bus Lines). This fund accounts for the various sources (Metro Transit revenue, Federal Transit Administration, etc.) and uses of funds (salaries, maintenance, equipment purchases, etc.) that are utilized to fund daily operations and maintenance. The FY 2023-24 proposed Transit budget – excluding grants (Fund 270) and Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) State of Good Repair funding (Fund 202) – includes $38.395 million in expenditures (an increase of $2.890 million over FY 2022-23) balanced against $39.374 million in revenue (a $978,450 projected surplus).
It should be noted that certain Transit restricted American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds remain available for Transit operations and will be claimed as allowed expenses are incurred. This additional revenue has not been added to the projected FY 2023-24 projections. However, once recognized, revenue for FY 2023-24 will come in higher than the current projection. (For example, a portion of this “pandemic era” funding was used to offset salary and benefit expenses in FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23.)
The table below provides an overview of actual expenditures and budgets from FY 2019- 20 through FY 2023-24, by Division:
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2023
The Administration Division projects a decrease in full-time salaries. There are some vacancies at the management level which will remain into FY 2023-24, resulting in a lower budget when compared to the prior year. There has also been a re-organization of classifications, as certain obsolete job titles are eliminated and replaced (i.e., Grant and Project Administrator for Sr. Management Analyst).
The Operations Division will see an increase of $1.050 million from the addition of full- time Bus Operators and the filling of vacancies coupled with higher fuel costs. In recent years, the number of Bus Operator positions approved has increased from 105.0 full-time equivalents (FTE) in FY 2020-21, to 120.0 FTE in FY 2021-22 to 150.0 FTE in FY 2022-
23. In addition, a hiring incentive program was initiated in FY 2022-23 in an effort to fill the myriad vacancies in this job classification. As hiring efforts have been successful, full-time salary and benefits budgets will increase in FY 2023-24 vs the prior year.
The Corporate Shop Division will see a $2.645 million increase vs. last year. There are two supplemental items added to the FY 2023-24 budget: $800,000 for “bus wraps” that will complete the rebranding of the Montebello Bus Lines fleet; and $180,000 to purchase a heavy-duty scrubber and a ride-on sweeper. There is also an increase in salaries and benefits as vacancies in this Division are filled.
Hotels
The City owns two hotels and contracts with a third-party management company to operate them. The Hilton Garden Inn (HGI) underwent a complete remodel in 2020, the first since it opened over seventeen years ago, and reopened to the public in September 2020 after being closed for more than six months.
As business and leisure travel patterns begin to resemble those found pre-pandemic, the Hilton Garden Inn’s performance continues to improve. The hotel is forecasted to have a surplus in FY 2023-24. The refinancing of HGI debt (December 2019) was a positive financial move, providing significant debt service savings for three years by restructuring the debt to be interest only during the pandemic. This refinancing made economic sense – taking advantage of historically low interest rates – and was fortuitous in timing. The reduced debt service coincided with reduced income from lower occupancy due to the pandemic.
The Home2Suites hotel’s occupancy also suffered in 2020 due to the pandemic.
However, in recent months occupancy has been climbing and performance appears to
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2023
have returned to pre-pandemic levels as business travel returns. The debt service on the Home2Suites (H2S) is greater than Hilton Garden Inn, given the larger outstanding balance (Series 2016A) of bond funds. However, as can be seen in the table above, H2S is forecasted to have a comfortable operating surplus for FY 2023-24.
Both hotels are well positioned to take advantage of the continuing post-coronavirus rebound in leisure and business travel. Their revenue accounts are healthy, and projected operating revenue will be sufficient to support operations and debt service payments with no negative impact on the General Fund.
Golf
The City’s 118 acre golf course is undergoing a complete transformation. The 18 hole public course will be re-created to match the golfing needs of the 21st century. A new 9 hole executive lighted course will be created, along with a 6 hole course that plays short and can be combined with other holes for a 10 hole experience. The construction of a new clubhouse will round out the redevelopment of the over 100 year old course, breathing new life into this public space and introducing golf to a new generation of players.
In addition, on 15 acres located at the northeast corner of the course a Topgolf entertainment complex will be constructed. The three-story, 100 bay entertainment and conference complex will revitalize the golf course campus, introducing a new style of golf to the community. In addition, the General Fund will see positive sales tax revenue from Topgolf as well as an annual lease payment for use of City property.
Both Topgolf and the reconstructed golf course are scheduled to open by April, 2024. These projects will bring new sources of sales tax and lease revenue to the General Fund. Moreover, they contribute to the City’s economic development efforts, helping to revitalize a portion of the community.
The FY 2023-24 budget includes debt service and construction expenses related to these projects. The FY 2024-25 budget will include projected revenue from these two projects, as well as reflect expenses related to the management and operations of the revitalized public golf course.
Capital Improvement Program
The proposed CIP budget for FY 2023-24 includes a mixture of new appropriations and carryover of previously appropriated but not yet spent funds. The total (estimated) CIP budget for FY 2023-24 is $37.363 million. This amount is comprised of $14.258 million in new appropriations and $23.105 million in (estimated) carryover funds. Attachment D includes enhanced project descriptions, as well as an additional overview to provide context to the City's capital program. It should be noted that the final carryover amounts will not be known until after year-end close (June 30, 2023). As was done in prior fiscal years, subsequent City Council action will be necessary to appropriate the carryover amounts.
In addition, there will be some remaining uncommitted funds in certain funds that could be used for new capital projects (those not included in the current CIP project list) or for expanding approved projects if necessary. In other words, available fund balance exists
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2023
that has not been committed to a particular project. The Director of Public Works will work with staff and the City Council to determine potential priority projects to which these unprogrammed funds can be obligated. Subsequent City Council action would appropriate the unprogrammed funds depending on decisions made about new or expanded CIP projects.
The $37.363 million CIP budget utilizes funding from Gas Tax, Metro Local Return Funds (i.e., Proposition C, Measure R, etc.), Measure W (Los Angeles County stormwater fee), Paving the Way Bond Proceeds, and Federal grants (i.e., HSIPL) for a host of various projects. A separate CIP document providing a detailed description of each project can be found as Attachment D to this agenda report.
The following paragraphs will provide highlights and other information about the City’s FY 2023-24 capital improvement program. The table below provides a high-level overview of CIP appropriations by fund:
There are several new projects as well as existing projects having their budget increased, proposed in the FY 2023-24 CIP, in different stages of planning: engineering studies/analysis, design, construction, maintenance and administrative/contractual agreements.
o The Garfield Avenue/Via Campo intersection project would have an additional $700,000 in Proposition A funding added to the existing carryover budget of $1.019 million. This project is aimed at adding a bus turnout at this location, helping to alleviate traffic backups and other issues.
o As part of the Golf Course Renovation and Topgolf projects, design work needs to be completed for a (new) entry road off Via San Clemente ($1.750 million) that provides access to the Topgolf facility
o Design and construction work for Plaza Drive would commit $784,000 in Proposition C funds for this project in the northeast corner of the City
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2023
o The City has an annual street resurfacing program, encompassing “grind and overlay,” “slurry seal,” “reconstruction,” and “HYRAP” work, depending on the condition of the street. These annual projects will have $3.496 million committed to them in FY 2023-24 from Measure M, Measure R, SB1/RMRA and TDA-3 funds o Regular maintenance such as replacing signs, maintaining traffic signals, roadway striping, and other related work will be funded utilizing State Gas Tax funds ($805,000)
The City will also continue utilizing the remaining Paving the Way bond funds ($14.929 million) to repair and pave streets throughout Montebello. Additional details and plans will be provided at subsequent City Council meetings. One major project on the near horizon is using Proposition C Paving the Way bond proceeds to pave and complete related work on Montebello Blvd., from Los Angeles Street north to Lincoln Avenue.
Staff have improved cost allocation methods, and will be utilizing the maximum amount allowed per Metro Local Return Fund guidelines to offset administrative costs. Public Works staff and consultants conducting engineering, planning and related work charge their time to Proposition A, Proposition C, Measure M and Measure R on an “hours worked" basis. This allocation of time relieves the General Fund of these expenses, allowing for additional budget capacity.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
This budget builds upon the progress made in the past three years’ award-winning budgets and continues moving the organization forward and funds the services and programs key to the City Council’s priorities. The City once again received the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) “Distinguished Budget Presentation Award” for the adopted Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget document – the third consecutive year and only the third time in the City’s history. Receiving this award demonstrates the City’s commitment to producing an accessible budget document that effectively communicates the City’s financial priorities in a transparent manner. Staff will submit the FY 2023-24 budget for this award and fully expects to receive it for a fourth consecutive year.
Some of the recent accomplishments that positively impact the organization in Fiscal Year 2023-24:
• Continued strong forecasted growth in revenue from the three-quarter cent sales tax measure (Measure H), approved by 62% of Montebello’s voters in March 2020, • Groundbreaking on the transformation of the City’s golf course into a world-class destination; with significant progress made on the Topgolf complex and the Golf Course renovation project,
• Continued progress in upgrading the City’s streets and roadways through the use of $25 million in Metro Local Return Fund bonds for the “Paving the Way” program, • Significant progress in updating the City’s General Plan, the first such endeavor since 1973,
• Updated the City’s Housing Element for the first time since 1997,
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF JUNE 14, 2023
• Upgraded the City’s vehicle fleet, purchasing replacement vehicles for Police, Code Enforcement, Public Works and Fire,
• Expanded community programs with a season-long Farmer’s Market, a summer street-fest, and other resident favorite programs,
• Approval of an affordable housing project in downtown Montebello (6th Street) developed by the Cesar Chavez Foundation,
• Sale of the City’s Water System, satisfying a State Auditor recommendation from 2018
These and dozens of additional accomplishments provide a clear indication that Montebello is making progress towards financial sustainability and fiscal stability. This budget continues movement towards those goals.

CITY OF MONTEBELLO
General Fund Reserve Policies
Fund balance refers to the difference between assets and liabilities in the City’s governmental funds balance sheet. This information is one of the most widely used elements of State and local government financial statements. Financial statement users examine fund balance information to identify the available liquid resources that can be used to pay down unfunded liabilities, finance capital improvements, or enhance the overall financial position of the City.
PURPOSE
The purpose of these policies is to provide guidance on maintaining reasonable levels of reserves in the City’s General Fund. In addition, th ese policies help improve fina ncial reporting by esta blishing fund balance classifications that create a hierarchy based on the extent to which the City is bound to observe spending constraints that govern how the City can use amounts reported in the governmental fund balance sheet. These policies will also help guide current and future allocation levels to various reserve categories in the General Fund, setting out specific target amounts based on widely used and accepted best practices. As referencing governmental funds, this policy satisfies t h e r e q u i r e m e n t s of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54 and incorporates all previous City Council policies regarding GASB Statement No. 54.
POLICY
It is the policy of the City of Montebello to identify the various classifications of the City’s governmental fund balances in its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). These classifications take into consideration the City’s long-term infrastructure needs, non-current liabilities, funds necessary to mitigate economic uncertainties, funding that has spending constraints such as grants and fixed assets that will not easily convert to cash. These policies will also increase transparency by clearly designating appropriate reserve levels and categories based on City Council direction and long-term financial planning needs.
The fund balance is a tool the City uses to have an effective long-term financial plan, as well as ensure sufficient liquidity to meet its financial obligations in the short-term.
OBJECTIVES
The City of Montebello’s Reserve Policies have two primary objectives:
1. To determine the available liquid resources; and,
2. To provide the information necessary to make informed financial decisions
The fund balance classifications of the City’s General Fund are designed to clarify the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in the fund can be spent, rather than to simply represent the financial resources available for appropriation.

Reserve Policies
Adopted Jun e 14, 2023
OVERVIEW
There are three categories of funds per generally accepted accounting principles:
• Governmental Funds: the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds (e.g., State Highway Users Tax), and Capital Projects Funds
• Proprietary Funds: Transit Operations Enterprise Fund
• Fiduciary Funds: Successor Agency (i.e., former Redevelopment Agency)
The GASB 54 classifications only apply to Governmental Funds. For the City of Montebello, these policies will apply only to the General Fund.
The fund balance is only an approximate measure of liquidity or working capital. Therefore, it is necessary for the City to recognize how fund balance is constituted and isolates funds that are needed for longer-term obligations, discern what funds are restricted for specified purposes, and classify those funds that are not available at all. To accomplish this goal, the City’s financial statements for governmental funds are compr ised of five fund balance categories, as spelled out in GASB Statement No. 54:
• Nonspendable Funds
• Restricted Funds
• Committed Funds
• Assigned Funds
• Unassigned Funds
NON-SPENDABLE AND RESTRICTED FUND BALANCE
The first two classifications are subject to requirements outside the local governing body’s control for financial decision making and planning purposes. “Nonspendable” resources are essentially irrelevant because, by their nature, they are not liquid (i.e., land or similar non-cash assets). “Restricted” resources are of no discretionary value given the restrictions placed upon them by a third-party outside of the City’s control (i.e., reserve funds required to be set aside by bond documents). Accordingly, this policy will just briefly describe these two classifications.
Nonspendable Funds
Some of the assets that are included in determining the City’s fund balance are inherently nonspendable:
• Assets that will never convert to cash, such as prepaid items and inventories • Assets that will not convert to cash within sixty (60) days from the start of the fiscal year, such as long-term loans receivable, and non-financial assets held for resale • Assets that must be maintained intact pursuant to legal or contractual requirements, such as an endowment

Reserve Policies
Adopted Jun e 14, 2023
Restricted Funds
Restricted funds describe the portion of the fund balance that is subject to externally enforceable legal restrictions, these restrictions fall into three (3) categories:
Restrictions are imposed by parties altogether outside the scope of the City’s governance:
• Creditors (typically through a debt covenant)
• Grantors (typically State, Federal and other governmental agencies) • Contributors
• Other governments
Restrictions that arise when the authorization to raise revenues is conditioned upon the revenue being used for a particular purpose:
• Gas taxes must be used for street repair
• Proposition C funds must be used for fixed transit routes • Proposition A funds must be used for transit programs • Measure R must be used for local street repair
Long-term loans receivable and non-financial assets that are collected can also be considered Restricted if the collected funds are subject to an externally enforceable restriction on how they can be spent.
PROCEDURES
This section provides a comprehensive protocol on what is legally deemed the unrestricted (or spendable) portion of the General Fund fund balance, and the order in which the classifications are spent. The unrestricted portion of the fund balance is comprised of the General Fund’s resources classified as “Committed,” “Assigned,” or “Unassigned.”
UNRESTRICTED (SPENDABLE) FUND BALANCE
Committed Funds
Committed funds describe a portion of the fund balance that is constrained by limitations imposed by the Montebello City Council. The City Council imposed limitation must occur no later than the close of the reporting period (i.e., end of the fiscal year) and remains binding unless removed under the same manner. A commitment is made by City Council adoption of a re solution that states the amount and purpose of the commitment.
This policy requires the commitment to be made as part of the annual budget adoption process (which typically occurs in June of each year). Furthermore, this policy sets out two distinct commitments:
Economic Uncertainties Reserve and Unfunded Liabilities Reserve.

Reserve Policies
Adopted Jun e 14, 2023
Committed Funds – Economic Uncertainties Reserve
This reserve policy establishes a Commitment for Economic Uncertainties equal to an amount calculated as twenty -five percent (25%) of the Gene ral Fund’s annual operating revenues.
Appropriations from the Economic Uncertainties Reserve can only be made by formal City Council action (i.e., resolution appropriating use of these reserve funds).
Generally, appropriations and access to these Committed funds will be reserved for emergency situations. Examples of such emergencies include, but are not limited to:
• Reduction in revenue equal to or greater than 20% of adopted General Fund revenues in a given fiscal year
• An unplanned, major, catastrophic event such as a natural disaster requiring expenditures over
• 10% of General Fund adopted appropriations in a given fiscal year • Unfunded and/or unpredictable State or Federal legislative or judicial mandates • Any other unforeseen event that causes the City to expend funds in excess of 10% of General
• Fund adopted appropriations in a given fiscal year
Committed Funds – Unfunded Liabilities Reserve
This reserve policy establishes a Commitment for Unfunded Liabilities equal to an amount calculated as five percent (5%) of the Gene ral Fu nd’s annual operating revenues.
Appropriations from the Unfunded Liabilities Res erve can only be made by formal City Co uncil action (i.e., resolution appropriating use of these reserve funds).
Generally, appropriations and access to these Committed funds will be reserved to pay-down unfunded liabilities. Examples of such uses include, but are not limited to:
• Establishment of a Section 115 irrevocable trust to pay-down Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) liabilities
• Making Additional Discretionary Payments (ADP) related to the City’s pension plan (i.e., PERS) • Funding other unfunded liabilities as identified or needed
Assigned Funds
Assigned funds describe the portion of the General Fund reserves that reflect the use of resources by the Montebello City Council intended to provide a means and source of funding for various near-term and long-term needs. Funds can be designated “assigned” to address equipment replacement needs as well as to set-aside funding for unfunded/unprogrammed future capital and/or infrastructure projects.
This policy grants authority to assign funds to the Director of Finance. Assignment of reserves may be modified by the Director of Finance as part of the annual budget process. Use of assigned funds

Reserve Policies
Adopted Jun e 14, 2023
requires formal action by the City Council to appropriate funds in the appropriate account.
Specifically, this reserve policy establishes assignments for the following short-term and long-term needs, at the various levels specified:
• Equipment/Technology Replacement and Upgrades
• Capital Improvement (Unfunded/Un-programmed)
• Deferred Maintenance/Infrastructure Maintenance
• Energy Efficiency Projects
• Self-insured Retention
• Economic Sustainability
Additional assignments can and will be made by the Director of Finance as part of the preparation of the annual Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). These assignments generally include reserving funds for deposits, debt service and bond defeasance. The CAFR will include a detailed accounting of all GASB Statement No. 54 fund balance classifications, including all Assigned Funds.
Equipment/Technology Replacement and Upgrade Assignment
An assignment for equipment and/or technology replacement and upgrade needs will be made that is equal to five (5%) of the General Fund’s annual operating revenues.
This assignment is intended to be utilized for non-routine or extraordinary equipment replacement needs, and would include not just rolling stock but other equipment such as computers, network and telecom systems, furniture and related equipment, and other critical citywide “equipment” needs.
Capital Improvement (Unfunded/Un-programmed) Assignment
An assignment will be made that is equal to five percent (5%) of the General Fund’s annual operating revenues for the purposes of providing funding for any unfunded, unprogrammed or otherwise un-planned capital improvement projects that required a General Fund funding component.
The purpose of this assignment is to provide an auxiliary means of funding capital improvement projects that do not have a dedicated or restricted funding stream (i.e., non-General Fund source of funding).
Deferred Maintenance/Infrastructure Maintenance Assignment
An assignment will be made that is equal to $1,000,000 for the purpose of providing funding for deferred maintenance on the City’s building assets (i.e., City Hall, community centers), sports fields and other related infrastructure items.
The purpose of the Deferred Maintenance/Infrastructure Maintenance assignment is to provide a reserve for deferred maintenance on the City’s buildings, sports fields, parks, community centers and other related infrastructure. The Deferred Maintenance assignment could also be utilized to replace items such as equipment in community centers, parks, etc. This assignment could be used to supplement

Reserve Policies
Adopted Jun e 14, 2023
the Equipment/Technology Replacement and Upgrade assignment for these types of “on e-time” furniture and equipment purchases. The amount of this assignment will be evaluated on a regular basis and either decreased or increased based on updated deferred maintenance needs and priorities as well as available fund balance.
This assignment is separate and distinct from the “Capital Improvement” assignment, which is intended to fund capital projects related to roads, sewer systems, rights of way and similar areas.
Insurance – Risk Management Assignment
An assignment will be made that is equal to $500,000 and is intended to meet the City’s “self-insured retention” for various insurance needs.
The intent of this assignment is to supplement funding in the City’s Self-Insurance Fund (Fund 700) if necessary based on workers compensation and/or liability claims expenditures. This amount will be re- evaluated and adjusted as necessary.
Economic Sustainability Assignment
An assignment will be made equal to $1,000,000 to fund e conomic development sustainability efforts within the C i t y of M o n t e b e l l o. Funds can only be appropriated through formal action by the City Council taken approving a specific economic development project, mission or other t a r g e t e d e f f o r t aimed at increasing the City’s sales tax and/or property tax revenue.
The Economic Sustainability assignment would establish a pool of funds that could be utilized to improve the City’s sales tax and/or property tax base. Use of these funds would be controlled through a strategic effort that would require a specific, City Council approved plan for how the funds would be utilized.
Unassigned Funds
The General Fund may have net resources in excess of what is classified in one of the four previous categories ( non-spendable, restricted, committed or assigned). This amount is pr esented as the Unassigned Fund Balance amount. Only the General Fund can report a positive unassigned fund balance. However, all governmental funds can report a negative unassigned fund balance.
This policy dictates that any amount of fund balance will be classified as “unassigned” after funding the Economic Uncertainties Reserve and Unfunded Liabilities Commitments plus the various Assigned reserves made in accordance with the preceding section. This policy allows for “unassigned” funds and places no specific res trictions on their use. In general, the City Council could choose to utilize “unassigned” fund balance for one-time projects or uses in a given fiscal year, such as technology upgrades, infrastructure improvements, economic development efforts, paying down long-term liabilities, or other such uses either not allocated for in this pol icy or in addit ion to the r eserve policies set forth herein.

Adopted Jun e 14, 2023
Use of Resources
In circumstances when an expenditure is made for a purpose for which amounts are available in multiple fund balance classifications, the order of allocation of these available funds is first restricted, second committed, third assigned and lastly unassigned amounts.
REPLENISHMENT OF COMMITTED AND/OR ASSIGNED RESERVES
In keeping with the principles discussed in this policy, when either Committed or Assigned funds are utilized for their specific, intended purposes, or the levels fall below the policy levels as described and set forth herein, the City Council will develop a reserve replenishment plan to return the various reserves to their policy levels. This plan will seek to return the Committed and/or Assigned reserves to their policy levels within one (1) to three (3) years, per City Council direction. Furthermore, Unassigned funds will be first utilized to maintain and/ or return the Committed and/or Assi gned reserves to their pol icy levels.

Budget Message
Fiscal Year 2023-24 Proposed Budget
The City of Montebello celebrates its second century of incorporation with presentation of the proposed Fiscal Year 2023-24 Operating and Capital budget. The City is faced with a unique combination of opportunities and challenges , with many new projects underway that will propel economic development in the community . The past fiscal year witnessed the continuation of progress towards financial sustainability.
This budget builds upon the progress made in the past three years’ award-winning budgets and continues moving the organization forward and funds the services and programs key to the City Council’s priorities. The City once again received the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) “Distinguished Budget Presentation Award” for the adopted Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget document – the third consecutive year and only the third time in the City’s history. Receiving this award demonstrates the City’s commitment to producing an accessible budget document that effectively communicates the City’s financial priorities in a transparent and accessible manner.
Staff will submit the FY 2023-24 budget for this award and fully expect to receive it for a fourth consecutive year.
Below is a small sample of recent accomplishments that positively impact the organization in Fiscal Year 2023-24:
• Continued s trong forecasted growth in revenue from the three-quarter cent sales tax measure (Measure H), approved by 62% of Montebello’s voters in March 2020, • Groundbreaking on the transformation of the City’s golf course into a world -class destination; with significant progress made on the Topgolf complex and the Golf Course renovation project,
• Continued progress in upgrading the City’s streets and roadways through use of $25 million in Metro Local Return Fund bonds for the “Paving the Way” program, • Significant progress in updating the City’s General Plan, the first such endeavor since 1973,
• Updated the City’s Housing Element for the first time since 1997, • Upgraded the City’s vehicle fleet, purchasing replacement vehicle s for Police, Code Enforcement, Public Works and Fire,
• Expanded community programs with a season -long Farmer’s Market, a summer street - fest, and other resident favorite programs,
• Approval of an affordable housing project in downtown Montebello (6th Street) developed by the Cesar Chavez Foundation,
• Sale of the City’s Water System, satisfying a State Auditor recommendation from 2018

These and dozens of additional accomplishments provide a clear indication that Montebello is making progress towards financial sustainability and fiscal stability. T his budget continues movement towards those goals.
The proposed all -funds budget includes $ 211,425,903 in expenditures and $208, 909,686 in revenue. The majority of the difference between proposed expenditures and revenue is from utilizing available fund balance in the various Special Revenue Funds for capital projects such as reconstructing and paving City streets. The General Fund budget, which provides funding fo r everyday services our residents depend on – Police, Fire, community services, code enforcement, street and park maintenance – is projected to have a $ 628,950 surplus. General Fund expenditures of $72,687,450 are less than forecasted revenues of $73,316,400, as summarized in the table below:
Total, all funds appropriations (expenditures and revenue) include General Fund operations as well as Transit (Montebello Bus Lines), the Hilton Garden Inn and Home2Suites, the various Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects funded with Local Return Funds (i.e., Measure R, Proposition C) and Federal and State grants, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs, grant awards, Property T ax Override payment of Pension Obligation Bond debt service, Successor Agency (former Redevelopment Agency) enforceable obligations, and many other projects, programs and operations utilizing various special and restricted funding sources.
As with the General Fund budget, at the time this Budget Message was being prepared, staff are working with departments to finalize budget requests, especially with Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects.
The progress in right-sizing the City’s General Fund over the past four fiscal years is significant.
Staff has worked diligently to review all revenue and expenditure items, performing a “modified” zero-based budgeting exercise for the fourth consecutive year. This budget represents the fourth year of a five-year budget development process, with the end goal being the achievement of a sustainable and healthy budget that incorporates strategic goals while providing funding for essential daily operations. A section in the following pages is devoted to explaining this five-year plan in greater detail.

The fourth year of this five-year effort sought to refine prior year actual expenditures to adjust FY 2023-24 budget requests based on well analyzed and researched trends. Most importantly, significant emphasis was placed on continuing the proper and accurate allocation of maintenance and operations appropriations as well as allocating employee salary and benefit costs to non- General Fund sources (i.e., Gas Tax, Loc al Return Funds, Montebello Hills project deposit , Transit Fund, etc.) where appropriate and allowed.
Traditionally, Montebello had done a less than ideal job of charging maintenance and operations and staff time to projects using grant or local return fund sources of revenue. This standard practice – especially in the Public Works realm – relieves the General Fund of certain expenses that can be correctly charged to restricted revenue sources . Charging off eligible expenses to special funds provides additional budget “room” for General Fund programs such as code enforcement, community services, park landscape maintenance, etc.
For example, $1,053,563 in salary benefit costs are charged to the Transit Fund – representing the direct support provided across the organization to our Transit operations (i.e., Human Resources, payroll, accounts payable, administration, facilities maintenance information technology, etc.). In addition, approximately $1,000,000 in salary and benefit costs will be charged to various Local Return Funds (e.g., Measure C, Measure M, etc.), recouping costs related to Public Works engineering and Finance support staff in managing capital projects using Metro funding.
The following pages provide a detailed discussion of the proposed FY 2023-24 budget, as well as an update on selected major infrastructure project s and details of the five-year fiscal sustainability/budget improvement plan. The emphasis on budget numbers will be on the General Fund, but key special and enterpris e fund operations will be highlighted. Details on every fund and account can be found in the budget book.
Basis of Budgeting
The City of Montebello adopts annual budgets using a method consistent with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Appropriations for a majority of the City's Funds are developed using a modified cash basis. Using this practice to establish the budget ensures compliance with enacted budgets according to applicable statutes and administrative procedures.
For all Funds, except for the General Fund, the total amount appropriated or budgeted to be spent may not exceed the fiscal year's estimated revenue available plus the unappropriated surplus fund balance (or less deficit) of the preceding fiscal year(s). The City's fiscal year begins July 1st and ends June 30.
It is important to note that the Basis of Budgeting is different from the Basis of Accounting. The Basis of Accounting refers to the time various financial transactions are recognized and/or

recorded. Although not directly related to the annual budget development, the Basis of Accounting is instrumental in establishing local financial practices and completing financial reports such as the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.
Budget Development – A Five Year Journey
Attaining fiscal sustainability involves developing and instituting a budget process that establishes a culture of fiscal accountability. The FY 2023-24 budget development process is the fourth year of a five-year journey towards reaching fiscal sustainability and financial stability.
The five-year budget development improvement process creates a set of building blocks, based on the ability to improve a subsequent year’s budget based on progress made in the current year.
Each year the process becomes more sophisticated, with the end goal being a self-sustaining budget built around strategic goals. The image below encapsulates this iterative process, showing the basic building blocks for each year and the emphasis placed on a grouping of tasks designed to continuously improve the budget – and by extension the organization:
The first year (FY 2020 -21) was focused on assessing the budget in its current state and then fixing “low hanging fruit” that would immediately improve the overall budget situation. A budget was presented that represented the best and most comprehensive planning document possible, given the myriad fixes necessary – and the complicated factors of a global pandemic at the time.
The FY 2021-22 budget used the improved base created in FY 2020-21. There was a deeper focus on analyzing revenue and expenditure trends, utilizing additional information and data available. The refinement of the budget development process further improved the budget that was proposed and eventually adopted . The FY 2021 -22 budget was more fully and comprehensively prepared and incorporated additional information not available in the prior fiscal year.
The FY 2022-23 budget focused on research, improvement (continued) and strategy. Utilizing focused and more in-depth research of revenue and expenditure trends allows for a much more FY 2020-21 FY 2021-22 FY 2022-23 FY 2023-24 …

accurate budget to be developed and presented. Research into specific expenses and whether they are one time or continuing, and whether they are being recorded to the correct account, leads to improved budget requests and management. The same goes for revenue and having a deeper ability to more accurately forecast revenue across all funds by better understanding the flow of various revenue streams and their relative cyclicality.
For the proposed FY 2023 -24 budget, the improvement effort continues, and moves into an analyze and refine mode. Analysis of the previous year’s revenue and ex penditure actuals against the adopted and amended budget provides a better understanding of trends. This information helps guide the development of the FY 2023 -24 budget, allowing for refinement of budget requests and estimates. The FY 2023-24 budget document is more comprehensive, and the continued improvements will help the organization operate more efficiently. In addition, strategic planning goals will be more fully incorporated into the budget development process. This in turn will improve organizational effectiveness.
Ultimately, the five-year process is designed to produce greater financial stability and promote fiscal responsibility. Fiscal sustainability can only be achieved when all parts of the organization are moving i n the same direction and focused on achieving the same outcomes. Through a structured and strategic budget process, improvements can be made that will help fund essential operations while making these improvements part of the organizational culture.
The remaining pages of this draft Budget Message provide a discussion of General Fund revenue and expenditures, a focus on changes to Department staffing and operations, and an overview of major non-General Fund operations such as Transit and the Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
Extensive detail on department budgets, organizational charts, staffing levels, strategic plan goals, and other funds can be found in the budget document itself.
General Fund Revenue
Total General Fund revenue is projected to be $73,316,400, a $4.631 million increase (6.7%) over the FY 2022-23 adopted budget. Updates and refinements to the FY 2023-24 forecasted revenue continue as of the preparation of this Budget Message. As more data is received, staff will update revenue forecasts to ensure the most accurate presentation available. The table below shows historical General Fund revenue by major category, from FY 2019 -20 (actuals) to FY 2023 -24 (projected).

The table below shows the dollar variance between the FY 2023 -24 adopted and FY 2023-24 proposed (revenue) budgets:
Sales tax is projected to increase $9 58,100 year over year (3.8%) when compared to the FY 2022-23 budget . The projected uptick in sales tax revenue is based on a steady economy, tempered by projections of a possible slow down at the end of calendar year 2023. The FY 2023- 24 budget includes the fourth full year of Measure H revenue and more accurately reflect s the expected amount as more data is available about th is transaction and use tax source , which allows for more accurate forecasts.
Property Tax is also proving strong, with a 5.0% increase in Assessed Valu e, providing an additional $737,800 in the proposed budget. It must be noted that the positive impact of the Metro Heights project is not part of the FY 2023-24 property tax revenue forecast. The County assesses properties every January 1, as well as when an existing property is sold. While there were some completed Metro Heights properties as of January 1, 2023, the assessment that occurs January 1, 2024, which will impact FY 2024 -25 property tax revenue, will be the most significant and positive. During the 2023 -24 fiscal year, staff will present updated property tax forecasts that incorporate sales of Metro Heights properties.
Licenses and Permits forecast an increase of $583,000 (9.0%), based on additional revenue from the Metro Heights and Topgolf projects. Various permits (building, plumbing, mechanical) and FY 19-20

plan check fees are seeing a several year bump as the Metro Heights development progresses.
The Topgolf project also contributes to these revenue streams. The positive impact of these short-term projects is tempered in the FY 2023-24 forecast so as not to overestimate the revenue from these additional permits and plan checks. Eventually, once these projects are completed, revenue for these permits and plan checks will level off to historical averages.
Franchise Fees are projected to increase $ 610,000, primarily from the addition of a new source of revenue: SB 1383 organic waste collection. This source of revenue alone is projected to contribute an additional $300,000 in annual revenue. This is a continuous source of revenue and helps build the General Fund revenue base for future years.
The pie chart below provides an overview of the various categories of General Fund revenue and their proportional slice of the revenue pie. Following the pie chart are detailed explanations of the major reven ue categories, and highlights of the changes seen in the proposed FY 2023-24 budget. As noted previously, staff continues to work on updating revenue forecasts and analyzing the reason for year-over-year changes through presentation of the budget for adoption.
Sales Tax
Sales tax accounts for 35.6% of total General Fund revenue. The City receives sales tax from three main sources: Bradley Burns 1% , Measure H ¾ percent transaction and use tax and Monterey Park Marketplace sales tax sharing. In total, Montebello is projected to receive $26.085 million in revenue from all three sources combined (an increase of $ 958,100 over last year’s

adopted budget). The table below presents details on these three important sources of sales tax revenue:
The FY 2021-22 sales tax budget was developed during a period when various pandemic related restrictions were still in place. These restrictions curtailed economic activity in FY 2020-21 and impacted the forecasted revenue for FY 2021 -22. As the table above shows, revenue for FY 2020-21 came in higher than the adopted budget for FY 2021 -22. Updated economic data informed the sales tax projection for FY 2022-23, leading to a more positive forecast as pandemic related restrictions disappear and retail activity improved.
Sales tax is the most important piece of the City’s General Fund budget, and the FY 2023-24 forecast is tempered by projections of an economic slowdown at the end of calendar year 2023, showing moderate increases over the prior year based on the latest economic data available. In addition, recent changes to tax law in California due to the Wayfair vs. South Dakota Supreme Court decision in 2018 have inc reased the amount of sales tax coming to Montebello via the County Pool. The County Pool records sales tax from on-line sales (as well as other non-point of sale transactions) and apportions it to cities in each county based on their relative share of tot al sales tax.
The pandemic changed buying behavior – more on-line transactions as people were forced to shelter in place – and this change in consumer behavior manifests itself in increased revenue from the county pool. Of all the major industry areas providing sales tax to Montebello, the share from the county pool shows the greatest area of continued strength in growth. This is not unique to Montebello, as all cities i n California have gained additional sales tax income from the taxing of on-line activity and the overall growth in county pools.
Property Tax
The second largest share of General Fund revenue is from property tax: $ 15.613 million, or
21.3% of General Fund revenue. The majority of property tax revenue comes from the “In -Lieu of VLF” source ($8.166 million), which is a remnant of the “triple-flip” instituted in 2005 as part of the State’s effort to balance its budget. At the time, the state swapped vehicle license fee (VLF) revenue allocated to local agencies to help better fund K-12 education and replaced VLF revenue with property tax. This source of revenue grows at generally the same rate as overall assessed value in the City (i.e., for FY 2023-24, that is a 3.0% growth rate from prior year projected actuals, slightly less than the City’s projected 5.0% assessed value growth).

Montebello also receives traditional property tax from residential, commercial and industrial property owners. The City receives approximately nine cents out of every property tax dollar paid to the County of Los Angeles. The assessed value of the City is projected to increase 5.0% when compared to last year. This increase is close to the twenty-year trend of year-over-year changes in assessed value, with that average at about 4.0%
Single Family Residential (SFR) median prices have increased significan tly in re cent years, averaging 7.1% annual growth between the first quarter s of 2018 and 2023. The median SFR price in Montebello is $723,000 (Quarter 1, 2023), a 1.8% increase from the same period in 2022.
There has been a cooling off of median home price increa ses – compare the 2022 vs. 2023 change of 1.8% against the 2021 vs. 2022 change of 6.2%. There have been fewer full value sales in the first quarter 2023 (36) vs. the first quarter of 2022 (53). These changes are not surprising, as mortgage rates have increased concomitant with the Federal Reserve’s increase to the Federal Funds rate. However, overall assessed value – as noted above – is still increasing by 5.0% year-over-year, showing continued strength in property values across all property types.
Finally, the City is projected to receive $1.300 million in residual property tax revenue. This is the flow of former tax increment from redevelopment project areas. Post redevelopment dissolution (i.e., after January 2012), local agencies receive res idual (i.e., left over) tax increment after various pass -through agreements and enforceable obligations are satisfied. As Montebello’s enforceable obligations such as debt service are paid off, an increased amount of residual property tax flows to the City.
Franchise and Other Taxes
The City receives $3.055 million in revenue from various franchise agreements. The two largest sources of franchise revenue are from Southern California Edison (SCE) and the various non - residential refuse/solid waste haulers . These two franchises account for $1. 950 million of total franchise revenue projected for FY 2023-24. Franchise revenue from cable providers and towing companies is projected to be flat or slightly higher when compared to the prior fiscal year.
There is a new source of franchise revenue that began in August, 2022: SB 1383 organic waste.
The projected $300,000 from this source of revenue is attributable to the State requirement that communities offer the recycling of organic waste materials. An agreement with the City’s residential refuse hauler allows them to co llect and process this organic waste, and the City receives a portion of the hauling fees.
Montebello also receives transient occupancy tax (TOT) revenue – forecasted to be $375,000 in FY 2023-24, less than the FY 2022-23 adopted budget of $425,000. Given the economic impacts of the coronavirus – and the specific negative impacts on travel related businesses – this revenue source will continue to be forecast conservatively. The three fiscal years prior to the pandemic

saw TOT averaging $412,000 per year. But FY 2019-20 saw it drop to $376,424, with FY 2020- 21 coming in even lower at $223,620, and a slight increase to $340,195 in FY 2021-22. The six- year average for TOT – which includes the “pandemic years” – is $363,000.
Another source of “other ta xes” revenue that has seen an increase despite the recessionary impacts of the coronavirus is Property Transfer Tax. This revenue is generated each time a residential property is sold in Montebello. Property Transfer Tax revenue is forecasted at $250,000 for FY 2023-24. Even with the drop in single family residential property sales (see “Property Tax” section above), the increase in assessed value will lead to an increase in this source of revenue since this tax is calculated as a percentage of the property’s value.
Charges for Services
The City charges for various services based on City Council approved fee schedules and agreements, recouping the costs associated with providing the service . For FY 2023-24, a projected $8.365 million in revenue will come from various charges for services: development agreements, facility rentals, electronic billboard agreements, radio frequency lease agreements, recreation classes, extended childcare programs, etc. Charges for Services revenue is projected to be $419,300 more than FY 2022-23, a 5.3% increase. This source represents 11.4% of total General Fund revenue.
It should be noted that recreation related revenue – classes, day camps, summer camps, sports leagues, etc. – was zero in FY 2020-21, with improvements seen in FY 2021-22 ($215,000). The pandemic required suspension of traditional community services programs and classes , which translated into no revenue being generated in this specific category three years ago. However, the easing of pandemic restrictions led to an increase in this revenue since, with a projected recovery to $352,500 for FY 2023 -24. (It should be noted that Parks and Recreation is recategorizing some of this revenue in an effort to improve tracking and more accurately represent the source of the revenue.)
The City is currently conducting a cost of services study to determine whether fees being charged are fully recovering the costs of providing those services. The last such study was completed in 2018, and best practice indicates such studies should be conducted once every three to five years. Improved cost recovery will benefit the City by adjusting the master fee schedule to better recover expenses related to staff time spent on various planning, comm unity services, public works, building and related services.
Fines and Forfeitures
This category of revenue is projected to bring $2.940 million in revenue for FY 2023-24, essentially flat from the prior year (0.7% increase). The majority of this revenue comes from “Vehicle Code Fines,” also known as moving violations. The six-year average of this revenue source is $1.512 million, however that includes two years where the pandemic impacted the issuance and

collection of moving violations. R ecent experience (FY 2021 -22 actuals and FY 2022 -23 projections) shows a return to pre-pandemic levels.
While only accounting for 4.0% of total General Fund revenue, this source does serve as an important deterrent to unsafe vehicle operations on Monteb ello’s streets. Finance, working closely with Police Department staff, will continue to monitor the revenue trends of parking and moving violations, and will provide updated projections based on updated year -to-date information.
Other Revenue/Non-Operating Revenue
Montebello has a Property Tax Override (PTO) assessment that generates annual revenue utilized for paying all pension related costs. This property tax override has been in place since 1946, when Montebello residents first voted to approve the parcel tax. This voter approved tax can only be utilized to pay for pension related costs (i.e., California Public Employee Retirement System, PERS). The City annually uses this revenue to pay the Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL) and Normal Cost expen ses associated with the City’s contract with PERS to provide retirement benefits to safety and miscellaneous employees. All General Fund related pension expenses due to PERS are paid for by utilizing the PTO revenue (the Transit Fund pays directly for PERS related costs of the Montebello Bus Lines operations).
The City utilizes the Non-Operating Transfer-In method to reimburse the General Fund for PERS related Normal Costs expenditures. For FY 2023-24, a $ 4.000 million Transfer In has been budgeted for this purpose. Beginning in FY 2021-22, the majority of PTO revenue is being utilized to pay debt service on the Pension Obligation Bonds (POBs, Series 2020). In an effort to manage rising pension costs, the City issued POBs in June 2020. The $153.4 million in POBs wiped out the existing UAL (as of June 30, 2018). (More information on expected revenue and associated expenses can be found by reviewing the Fund 205, Retirement detail page in the budget book.)
The City will continue paying Normal Costs to PERS on a bi -weekly basis, as is standard for all public agency employers. The PTO revenue remaining after paying annual debt service will be used for this purpose. In addition, as subsequent actuarial valuations are completed by PERS, new UAL bases will be paid annually with available PTO. A portion of PERS costs – both UAL and Normal Cost – is paid for by the Transit Fund. A portion of debt service on the Series 2020 POBs will be paid utilizing PTO. A cost allocation plan study deter mined that Transit is responsible for 27% of pension related costs. Transit will continue paying this share of retirement costs, in the form of debt service, as well as any new UAL created with future PERS actuarial studies and the full share of normal costs associated with transit operations.
The largest increase in the “Other Revenue” category in FY 2023-24 is from the Administrative Overhead charge. The updated 2022 cost allocation plan provides a basis for reimbursing the General Fund for administrative and overhead support provided to various special revenue and
Budget Message, FY 2023-24
UPDATED June 5, 2023
xii
enterprise funds (i.e., Gas Tax, Transit, Hotels, Local Return Funds, etc.). The amount established by this plan is updated annually based on the average increase in salary and benefit costs. Staff reviews each of the charges and adjusts them as necessary to ensure the General Fund is properly reimbursed for the internal support (i.e., indirect costs) provided by Finance, Human Resourc es, City Clerk, Information Technology and related functions to these non - General Fund operations.
This improved cost allocation – a pillar of the many budget improvements being made to provide long-term financial stability to Montello – provides $3.498 million in non-operating revenue to the General Fund. Finance staff will continue to review operations and find more opportunities to properly charge support staff salary and benefit costs to non-General Fund operations.
General Fund Expenditures
The C ity of Montebello is a full -service city, providing Police, Fire, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, Transit and various building, planning and internal support functions (i.e., Finance, Human Resources, Information Technology, etc.) to the community. The total proposed FY 2023- 24 General Fund expenditures budget that supports day-to-day functions is $ 72,687,450, a $4.697 million increase (6.9%) over the FY 2022-23 adopted budget.
The table below provides a department level view of expenditures for FY 2023-24, with comparisons to prior year budgets and actuals:

payroll, accounting, code enforcement and other essential services. The pie chart below shows the relative percentage each Department comprises of the General Fund budget:
Management committed to “zero -based budgeting” beginning with the adopted FY 2020 -21 budget. This effort is aimed at right -sizing the budget, aligning ongoing revenues with ongoing expenditures, and creating a solid base upon which to build future budgets. This effort was short- circuited somewhat due to the coronavirus pandemic – necessitating an abbreviated budget process for FY 2020 -21. However, significant progress was made in cleaning up the General Fund budget and working with Departments to utilize prior year spending data to create a sustainable and better aligned budget for subsequent years. As discussed above, progress is being made in the five-year budget development improvement process , with the FY 2023-24 proposed budget utilizing improve d trend data and additional research and analysis to reflect priorities and expense needs more accurately.
The long-term goal is to annually provide consistent, essential services to Montebello’s residents, visitors and businesses in a fiscally responsible manner. Consistently preparing and presenting balanced budgets is step one towards fiscal sustainability, and a key part of the five-year budget development improvement plan. Hence, the importance of creating a permanent culture of fiscal responsibility that permeates the organization and sustains efforts towards the long-term goal of achieving financial sustainability.

General Fund budget, any changes made in this category will have the greatest impact on expenditure. Maintenan ce and Operations comprises 34.6%, and Debt and Lease Payments make up the remaining 3.0% of the proposed General Fund budget:
It should be noted that approximately 96% of the City’s General Fund budget appropriations a re “spoken for” in the way of commitments from MOUs, contracts, debt service payments, professional service agreements, utilities and other such expenses the City is obligated to pay .
The table below provides an overview of the major expenditure categories and how much these commitments comprise of the General Fund budget:
This table illustrates how little leeway exists in the General Fund for re-directing appropriations or re-prioritizing spending from one area to another. The City obviously has com mitments to its employees through City Council approved MOUs, and long -term debt service and lease arrangements commit additional funds, while insurance and workers compensation expenses must be paid. The Contract services category encompasses landscape, custodial, street sweeping, graffiti removal, legal services, software licenses and many other types of required services.

Salary and Benefits
The Salaries and Benefits category is comprised of wages paid to full -time and part -time employees, overtime, health related benefits (health insurance, vision and dental plans, life insurance, etc.), PERS related retirement expenditures, retir ee medical expenses (Other Post Employment Benefits [OPEB]), workers compensation insurance prem iums and payments and related employee fringe benefit costs (e.g., certification and education incentive pay, longevity pay, etc.). This entire category comprises 62.2% of the General Fund budget, or $ 45,276,100.
This represents a $3.013 million increase over the FY 2022-23 adopted budget (7.1%).
The majority of this increase is in th e regular salaries category: $ 2.056 million (8.2%) – from $24.927 million in FY 2022-23 to $26.983 million in FY 2023 -24. There are several reasons for this increase in regular (i.e., full-time) salaries: filling vacancies, adding needed positions across the organization, and wage increases from recently approved (i.e., May 2022) Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) with nine out of ten of the City’s labor groups. These MOUs, successors to the MOUs which expired in December 2021, incorporate the salary adjustment results from the comprehensive classification and compensation study conducted in 2021.
This “class and comp study” results determined the majority of positions (83%) in the organization were below market rates. Over an eighteen-month period, Human Resources staff worked closely with every labor group to explain the methodology and outcomes of the study. The City Council approved MOUs implemented the classification and compensation study recommendations, with the majority reaching market pay levels in less than three years (i.e., by July 2023). In addition, several outdated job classifications (i.e., “Clerk/Typist”) were updated to reflect modern work ing titles (i.e., “Administrative Assistant”).
The proposed FY 2023-24 budget funds the second full year of updated wages and fringe benefit payments from the approved MOUs and citywide salary table. In addition to wag es, the MOUs increased longevity pay for Fire Department sworn (i.e., safety) personnel, increased education incentive pay for most bargaining groups, and increased EMT and Paramedic certification pay.
Some of these items such as longevity are calculated as a percentage of base pay. Therefore, as hourly wages increase, so does longevity pay. The various changes to wages and wage - based benefits such as longevity have increased salary expenses across all departments. The projected increase in salaries in FY 2023-24 is expected, based on the various provisions that are new to the MOUs approved in May 2022.
In addition to improvements in total compensation, o ver the past four years, management has conducted a rigorous, organization -wide review of operations. Each Department ha s been charged with reviewing how they provide service – to external and internal customers – and designing a table of organization that can efficiently and effectively provide a full -range of services, as well as respond to the expansion of se rvices to me et resident demand and City

Council priorities . This organizational staffing review has often led to the need to add key positions, filling long-vacant positions, and making other staffing adjustments to each department.
The proposed FY 2023-24 budget presents a net increase of 16.0 full -time equivalent (FTE) positions. This includes the removal of some obsolete classifications (i.e., Grant and Project Administrator) and the addition of positions to some departments (i.e., Police Officer [x4.0 FTE], Battalion Chief, Traffic Engineer, etc.). The table below shows total FTE and the year-over-year change by Department:*
*The 11.0 FTE in the newly created Public Affairs-Information Technology Department are not new positions; they have been moved from the Departments they were previously recorded in: Administration, Human Resources and Transit.
Over the last four fiscal years (FY 2023-24 included), key positions have been added in the areas of public safety, homeless assistance , public information, engineering, budget analysis , information technology, street/parks maintenance supervision, community service management, code and parking enforcement , transit and community beautification: Police Officer s, Code Enforcement Officers, Fire Battalion Chief and Captain, Firefighter/Paramedic Trainee, Social Worker and Caseworker , Traffic Engineer, Public Information Office r, Crime Analyst, Senior Management Analyst, Community Services Coordinator, Bus Operator, Principal Engineer, etc..
In other areas, staff were moved from Golf Course operations to Public Works, increasing the number of Maintenance Workers dedicated to keeping city streets and rights of way looking their best. There were increases to Transit operations that allowed for improve d administration and management of operations, vehicle mainten ance and financial management, as well as the addition of 30.0 full-time Bus Operators in FY 2022-23 as part of a City Council approved Transit Staffing Plan.
The changes to staffing presented above encompass the recent creation of the Public Affairs - Information Technology Department. During FY 2022-23, the Public Affairs operation (i.e., Public FY 2020-21 FY 2021-22

Information Officers, social media management, branding, etc.) was moved out of Administration and the Information Technology Division was separated from Human Resources (with one Public Information Office r moved from Transit so all p ublic affairs positions are in their proper Department). There is now a new Department of Public Affairs – Information Technology. (The section above on General Fund expenditures presents the new department in the summary table as well.)

Salary and Benefit budgets also reflect increased PERS cost, associated with higher employer rates. However, as part of previously negotiated MOUs, the complete phase-out of employer paid employee retirement costs occurred by January 2021 – reducing the pension burden on the City with employees picking up their full share (either 8% or 9% for Classic employees, with new PERS members always having picked up their full share of 7.25%). Furthermore, public safety employees (Fire and Police) agreed to pay a 12% rate – picking up the full 9% employee share plus 3% of the employer rate. The 2023-24 proposed fiscal year budget shows the continued positive impact from employees paying their full share of retirement costs, coupled with more non- Classic (i.e., PEPRA) employees.
Also related to PERS is the May 2020 issuance of $153.4 million in Pension Obligation Bonds (POBs). The issuance of these bonds allowed the City to fully extinguish its Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) for both miscellaneous and safety retirement plans with PERS (based on the June 30, 2018 actuarial valuation report). The City has levied a pension tax override since 1946 when first approved by Montebello voters. The revenue from this property tax can only be used to pay for retirement related expenses.
The City tracks this revenue in a separate special revenue fund (Retirement Fund 205). Annual lump-sum UAL payments are made each July utilizing these Fund 205 resources. Ongoing, bi - weekly normal cost expenses are reimbursed on a quarterly reconciliation basis, utilizing a transfer out/in from Fund 205 to the General Fund. The Transit Fund (600) pays for its sha re of miscellaneous PERS expenses – both UAL and normal costs – directly from its operating funds.
The City’s lump-sum UAL payments are vastly reduced for July 2023 (FY 2023-24). Bi-weekly normal cost expenditures will still be recorded – paying for current employees and their actuarially determined costs. The bulk of the pension tax override revenue will be utilized for annual debt service on the $153.4 million in POBs over the next thirty-five years.
The combination of employees paying their full share of retirement costs coupled with lower overall normal costs as non-classic (i.e., PEPRA) employees make up a larger overall share of total employees, has led to a moderation of the year -over-year increases in retirement costs .
Estimated General Fund PERS employer costs for FY 2023-24 are $4,160,600. This represents a $419,100 increase from the FY 2022 -23 adopted budget. It must be noted that these PERS costs are estimates, assuming a certain position “occupancy rate.” These General Fund expenses are offset completely by the Property Tax Override revenue Transfer In from the Retirement Fund (Fund 205). The mechanism for this is explained in the preceding “General Fund Revenue” section of this Budget Message.
Another large, positive impact to containing the amount of Salary and Benefit expenditures charged to the General Fund is the continuation and refinement of cost allocation throughout the

organization. This standard practice of charging payroll costs to non-General Fund sources was initiated with the FY 2020 -21 budget. For example, a significant portion of Public Works staff involved in project management and engineering are now appropriately charged to non-General Fund sources such as Local Return Funds (i.e., Measure M, Proposition C, etc.) and Federal/State grants. This effort also included staff in Administration , Finance , Fire and Community Develop ment charging time to the Metro Hills project , and Finance , Human Resources, and Information Technology staff being charged to the Transit fund – reducing the overall impact of payroll costs on the General Fund. In addition, certain staff in the Community Development Department charge time to the CDBG and HOME Federal programs.
The initial cost allocation efforts that began in FY 2020-21 are continued – and improved upon – in the FY 2023-24 budget. With additional operational data available, a larger sha re of certain positions can now be charged to Transit and Local Return Funds. In addition, a larger selection of employees can be cost allocated.
Another change first initiated with the FY 2020-21 adopted budget that enhanced transparency and presented more accurate operating budgets for each Department is the move of Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB) charges to a Non-Departmental account. The City provides retirees – based on years of service and bargaining unit at the time of retirement – monthly health benefit cost reimbursement. Prior year budgets included these costs in each department, inflating operating budgets (most acutely in Police and Fire) based on the final department an employee worked for prior to retirement . The FY 2023-24 proposed budget includes appropriations for OPEB expenses ($1.025 million), but continues to record them in Non -Department accounts, providing a truer picture of what daily operating expense needs are for each operating department.
Maintenance and Operations
The Maintenance and Op erations category comprises 34.6% of the FY 2023-24 proposed General Fund budget ($25,151,150). This broad category provides funding for office supplies, personal protective equipment for Fire personnel, professional engineerin g services, auditing, grant writing and legislative advocacy services , contract landscape and tree maintenance services, computer software and hardware purchases, street sweeping, utilities (e.g., electricity, gas, water, cell phones), custodial services, facility repair and maintenance such as electricians and plumbers, uniforms and safety equipment for Police personnel, contract community services instructor payments, vehicle maintenance and repair services, software licenses (Office 365) and many other expenses that provide the programs and services that Montebello residents enjoy.
This category is increasing $1.697 million (7.2%) when compared to the FY 2022-23 adopted budget. The majority of this increase (96.1%) comes from the vari ous Contract Services accounts, accounting for $ 1.630 million of this increase. The largest increase in the “contract services” area is the $531,600 increase for residential refuse service. However, this increase is

offset by the revenue collected for this service. The City acts as a pass-through agent – remitting payment to the refuse hauler and collecting/recording revenue.
There is a reduction in Equipment ($175,250) and Miscellaneous Expenses ($564,600) that reflects the inclusion of certain one-time supplemental budget requests included in the FY 2022- 23 budget that are absent from the FY 2023-24 proposed budget.
Utilities and fuel related expenses (i.e., electricity, water, fuel for vehicles) are increasing $616,400 over FY 2023 -24. Vehicle Maintenance associated costs remain relatively flat compared to the prior year ($72,700 increase). The replacement of more than forty vehicles in Police, Public Works, Code Enforcement and Parks and Recreation in the past three years has contributed to this trend. A newer fleet equates to lower maintenance costs, and improved service to residents.
There are annual Debt and Lease payments related to bond issuances (e.g., Series 2014ABC) and lease payments on equipment (e.g., Parks and Recreation vehicles, Public Works tractor, etc.) included in the FY 2023-24 budget. This category remains flat as debt service and lease payments are fixed through the life of the financing.
There are notable changes in the following Department’s budgets year over year (more detail on each department follows later in this Budget Message):
Administration: The net year-over-year decrease is $514,300, with the largest single decrease related to the 2022 General Election cost not in the FY 2023-24 budget. This is a bi-annual cost and appears and disappears from the budget every even and odd year, accordingly . There is also a $105,000 reduction related to the “Community Promotion” division being moved to the new Public Affairs -Information Technology Department . The Administration Division sees a net reduction of $196,700, primarily from the movement of Public Affairs staff to the new department.
Community Development: There is an overall net increase of $136,750 in this Department. The Administration and Planning Divisions are increasing year -over-year by $291,600, offset by a $139,850 decrease in the Code Enforcement Division. Newly created and filled positions from FY 2022-23 are now being expensed for a full twelve-month period (i.e., Economic Development Manager, Sr. Management Analyst, Code Enforcement Officer [additional], Parking Control Officer [additional]). The offset (reduction) is from a more accurate projection of the twelve-month cost of the third-party parking enforcement contract.
Fire: The $186,750 net increase from last year is spread across all divisions, with the largest increase in the Suppression Division ($ 349,300), offset by decreases in Prevention ($183,250) and Administration ($52,700) . There is an increase in salaries ($ 534,500) related to updated MOUs (i.e., safety personnel) offset by decreases in various Maintenance and Operations

categories due to the one-time inclusion of supplemental budget items in FY 2022-23 that are not part of the proposed FY 2023-24 budget. For example, there were several vehicle purchases in the Administration and Prevention Divisions included in FY 2022 -23 that are not part of the proposed FY 2023-24 budget.
Human Resources: The net decrease of $613,800 is from the movement of the Information Technology Division to the new Public Affairs -Information Technology Department. The $1.050 million decrease is offset by a $435,900 increase in Human Resources. The primary reason for the increase is the filling of several vacancies in Human Resources part way through FY 2022 - 23: Analyst, Manager, Assistant Director and Principal Risk Officer. These positions are now being fully expensed in FY 2023 -24 for twelve months. There is also a $28,000 increase in Outside Contracts related to required COVID-19 testing, and an additional $50,000 for anticipated legal services expenses.
Parks and Recreation: This department is seeing a year-over-year increase of $1,029,850. The FY 2023-24 proposed budget is the second year since departments were re-organized and Park Maintenance and Facilities were moved to Public Works. The increase is primarily due to additional staffing (Part-Time) and supplies and equipment costs a ssociated with the expansion of community programs such as the Farmer’s Market, Night Market, 4th of July Celebration, Street Fest, Pet Vaccine Clinics, Utility Box Art and other special events and programs.
Police: The net increase in this Department of $547,500 is primarily from the Patrol Division, offset by decreases in Support Services. As noted earlier in this Budget Message, City Council approval of MOUs in May 2022 increased base salaries . The impact of the movement of base salaries to market rate is reflected in the FY 2023 -24 proposed budget, with regular salaries projected to be $340,000 higher (5.0%) than the prior year. There is also a $100,000 increase to overtime, as increased wages impact this expense category as well.
Public Works: There is a $1,846,050 increase projected for FY 2023-24. The Streets, Facilities, and Building Divisions account for $1.293 million of the total increase. The proposed budget includes the second year of Facilities, Building and Park Maintenance Divisions residing in Public Works – moved from Parks and Recreation and Community Development. The budgets for these operations have been updated and refined, and reflect the anticipated staffing, contract services, supplies and equipment needs required to maintain City parks, facilities, roads and other infrastructure. (It should be noted that the Public Works General Fun d budget is separate from the Capital Improvement Program budget.)
Public Affairs -Information Technology: This new department has total appropriations of $1,656,600. This is a slight increase over the prior year, taking into account these functions were part of the Administration and Human Resources Departments. As in prior years, this Department funds public information , social media and outreach efforts, and supports the provision of

information technology services to employees. A new position is being added to this Department to assist with Social Media management and response. The Senior Management Analyst will be tasked with monitoring the City ’s social media campaigns and ensuring residents are rec eiving the most up to date and accurate information.
Several supplemental requests are in cluded in the FY 2023-24 proposed budget. Many of the supplemental items are one-time, or semi-recurring in nature, such as reconfigured office space, purchase of banquet chairs and tables for the Senior Center, patrol and detective bureau vehicles in Police, re-branding of City buses, etc.
The table s below provide a summary and detailed listing of the various supplemental items included in the proposed budget, separated by General Fund ($188,400 in supplemental items) and non -General Fund items ($1,911,850). There is a t otal of $2,100,250 in supplemental requests included in the proposed budget:

event supplies , software licenses, etc.) total $ 65,000 and will become permanently budgeted items going forward. There is an additional $ 137,200 in semi-recurring items that have shorter “shelf-lives” than vehicles or other capital items, and budget will need to be provided for in subsequent budgets (but not annually).
As can be seen by the descriptions above, many of the supplemental items are necessary due to the former practice of delaying equipment and infrastructure repairs and upgrades – vehicle replacements, mobile data terminals, etc. The FY 2023-24 budget represents the fourth year of playing “catch up” with the myriad deferred equipment purchases. The majority of these supplemental equipment/vehicle items included in FY 2023 -24 are for the Police Department:
patrol vehicles, interview room camera and audio system replacement, mobile data terminal replacements, etc. However, every operating department continues to identify unmet needs and such items will continue to be included in subsequent budgets as funding is available.
The table below is the total amount of supplemental budget requests Departments submitted for FY 2023-24:
Only 17% of the total items requested (as calculated by dollar amount) have been included in the proposed FY 2023 -24 budget. There are several reasons for not being able to include all requested items: available funding, likelihood of procurement during the fiscal year, and need for additional research and quotes. In addition, especially in Fire, there are existing and potential grant opportunities that would offset some of the supplemental budget requests. Finance will continue coordinatin g with each department to refine their supplemental requests and find appropriate funding sources that would not burden the General Fund.
Through these efforts, there are several items which will be brough t back for City Council consideration in FY 2023-24: procurement of two Fire Engines, purchase of a wildland fire tender, upgrades to the City’s radio network, Police headquarters building refurbishments, etc. Staff will work with each Department on the procurement and funding process for those items not initially Department Amount

Citywide and Department Highlights
The FY 2023-24 proposed budget includes various changes to individual Department budgets – adding staff and equipment, re-organizing divisions, the creation of a new Department etc. While basic services remain funded, there are enhancements in different key areas. The General Fund budget for all departments is $72,687,450, a $4,697,350 increase over the FY 2022-23 adopted budget. The ability to continue funding all basic services, while providing for some unmet and deferred needs, is predicated on a concerted effort to right -size the City’s budget coupled with improved revenue forecasts . The five -year budget development process created to assist in these efforts is in year four (see section above for a more detailed discussion), providing additional analysis and improvement efforts t o better refine and balance ongoing expenditures against ongoing revenues.
The table below shows each Department’s proposed budget and the variance from last year’s adopted budget, as well as three years of actuals for comparison purposes:
The paragraphs below provide a discussion of the major changes in each Department’s budget for FY 2023-24.
Administration and Elected
Overall, the budgets for elected officials (City Council, City Treasurer, and City Clerk) and Administration decreased a net $ 514,300. As noted above, t he largest single decrease is the expense related to the 2022 General Election not in the FY 2023 -24 proposed budget , and movement of Public Affairs staff to the new department.

Appropriations have been included related to the City Council request to add funding for Sister Cities, Chamber of Commerce support, and the Sanchez Adobe (total of $25,000 in additional appropriations for these four community groups). Also, $15,000 has been included to install “smart boards” at City Hall to improve the City’s ability to provide updated messaging and posting of City Council and commission agendas.
As noted above, the Community Promotions Division, as well as salary and benefit costs for Public Affairs staff, have all been moved to the new Public Affairs- Information Technology Department.
Community Development
The Community Development D epartments’ total budget of $ 2,739,200 represents a $ 136,750 increase over FY 2022-23. As discussed previously, several essential positions have been filled in the past year and are being expenses over a twelve-month period in the FY 2023-24 budget:
Economic Development Manager, Code Enforcement Officer (additional), Parking Control Officer (additional) and Sr. Management Analyst.
There are three supplemental requests totaling $50,000 in the Department’s FY 2023-24 budget.
As part of the ongoing efforts to improve economic development efforts, $15,000 has been added to create promotional videos and related marketing materials. There is $15,000 included to improve downtown corridor maintenance of city-owned buildings. Also, with the addition of new staff, there is $20,000 for reconfiguration of office space and furniture.
The Department has reduced the projected amount needed for third -party parking enforcement services based on the actual level of service needed. This rightsizing of the contract budget was primarily responsible for the $139,850 decrease in the Code Enforcement Division’s budget.
Parks and Recreation
The Parks and Recreation budget of $4,170,450 is increasing by $1,029,850. The majority of this increase is directly attributable to the expansion of special events and programs over the past two fiscal years. Fiscal Year 2023-24 represents the second full year of Staff projecting expenses for special events such as the Farmers Market and Night Market, 4th of July, Summer Street Festival, Utility Box Art, etc.
Part-time salaries in the Recreation Division have increased $195,300, with associated fringe benefit costs (FICA/Medicare, PERS, etc.) increasing $42,000. Supplies (both non -durable and durable) are up approximately $139,000. These increased Maintenance and Operations costs are associated with the need for additional supplies for the expansion of community events throughout the year.

As noted above, there are $114,400 worth of supplemental requests included in the FY 2023-24 Department’s General Fund budget. There is $28,000 included to replace a basketball scorer’s table at Cathy Hensel Park and purchase new banquet chairs, tables and racks for the Senior Center. There is also $18,200 included for a software upgrade – ActiveNet recreation program.
There is $38,200 in new funding for special event equipment such as light towers, portable toilets, generators, lighting systems etc. Staff have determined that it is more cost effective to purchase some of this equipment vs. having to rent it for multiple events. Finally, responding to a City Council request, $30,000 is included for youth conferences.
The Department also has a supplemental request for one (1.0) additional Commu nity Services Coordinator. This position will assist with the additional special events, as well as perform typical duties for this position. The full year cost (fully burdened) for this position is approximately $65,400. Given the lead time needed to r ecruit for this position, $49,000 has been budgeted in FY 2023-24 – this amount assumes an incumbent serving for nine months in the fiscal year.
Police
The Police Department budget is $20,158,500, a $547,500 increase (2.8%) over the adopted FY 2022-23 budget. There are increases in the Administration, Patrol, Communications and Records Divisions. These increases are offset by year-over-year reductions in the Support Services and Investigative Services Divisions. None of the decreases impact service or staffing levels. As Staff gains a greater appreciation for spending patterns – in salaries and maintenance and operations – refinements to budgets can be made which better reflect actual expenses. This is yet another by-product of the research being done as part of the five-year budget development improvement process, and a tangible improvement in year four of this effort.
The majority of the increases come from salary changes due to recently approved MOUs and the operationalization of the classification and compensation study (as discussed above). The Patrol Division is impacted the most from the MOU adjustments, with full-time regular salaries increasing $340,000 and overtime increasing $100,000 vs. FY 2022-23. This Division also saw a slight increase in Durable Supplies to purchase equipment for new Police Officers (i.e., duty belt, etc.), bullet proof vest replacements, and the purchase of gas masks.
There are increases in both the Communications and Records Divisions ($94,400 and $102.700 respectively). Regular Salaries increased year -over-year in both Divisions with the anticipation that vacancies would be filled and staffing levels would remain stable. The Communications Division has had numerous vacancies over the past two fiscal years. In recent months vacancies have been filled and the anticipation is staffing would remain stable through the fiscal year. There is also additional funding for dispatch testing for new hires (Communications) and the purchase of new chairs (Records).

The Police Department budget includes $931,850 in supplemental vehicle, equipment and software items. However, none of this is in the General Fund. Through the use of Asset Forfeiture funds, the Police Department will be able to acquire eleven new vehicles for patrol and detective use, replace outdated and aging equipment, and introduce the use of new software to assist with crime data analysis.
As part of the multi-year plan to address shortages in Police Officer staffing, four (4.0) additional Police Officer positions are being added to the proposed budget. This will increase the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) Police Officers from 32.0 to 36.0. The additional FTE will allow for increased recruitment in an effort to fill the current vacancies in the Department, and fill the various “special assignment” units.
Fire
The FY 2023-24 budget of $17,074,150 represents a $ 186,750 increase over the FY 2022-23 adopted budget, a 1.1% year-over-year increase. There are increases in the Suppression and Communications Divisions ($349,300 and $ 73,700 respectively), offset by decrease s in the Prevention and Administration Divisions of $183,250 and $52,700.
Regular Salaries in the Suppression Division are forecasted to be $534,500 higher than FY 2022-
23. As noted previously in this Budget Message, recently approved MOUs increased base salaries as well as wage-based items such as longevity pay and EMT and Paramedic certification pay. These adjustments to sworn safety personnel wages and wage dependent benefits contribute to the year-over-year increase. In addition, there is an assumption that vacancies in the sworn ranks will be filled, and staffing will stabilize over the fiscal year.
The Department submitted numerous Maintenance and Operations supplemental requests across all divisions, encompassing new/replacement equipment, new professional services, replacement vehicles (F ire Engines), upgrades to radio communications equipment, etc. The more than $3.0 million in M&O requests are not in the proposed budget. However, many of the requests require a long procurement lead time, including getting quotes, seeking City Council approval, etc.
For example, the Department will need to replace two of its Fire Engines. Last fiscal year, the City Council approved the purchase of a Fire Truck. Not only did the quote, specification and approval process take more than six months, but the delivery time for the truck is two plus years.
Since large apparatus purchases such as this are financed, there is no need to include appropriations in the FY 2023 -24 budget. Finance will coordinate with Fire staff to begin the procurement process for the two engines and subsequent City Council action will eventually be needed. At the time the Engines are delivered, and finance payments begin, then funding will be placed in the appropriate fiscal year’s budget.

The Fire Department also has three active (current) grants that may be utilized for some of the firefighting equipment requested through the supplemental budget process. Finance is working with Fire to determine what can be purchased with the grants, and supplemental requested items will be funded accordingly. It should be noted that these three grants have already received City Council approval, and funds have been appropriated.
Finally, Fire is working to acquire grant funding for its Communications Division needs. There are many radio-related equipment needs on the supplemental request list that would be funded with the grant. At this point in time, it is prudent to wait for the outcome of that process before committing General Fund appropriations, especially sin ce some of the equipm ent requires subsequent City Council approval and has a long lead time for procurement.
The Department is also proposing to add 4.0 FTE: two (2.0) Fire Battalion Chiefs (one to oversee Training and one to serve as the Emergency Medical System [EMS] manager), one (1.0) additional Social Work Supervisor and one (1.0) additional Field Response Case Coordinator to assist with MCAP services. The two latter positions would be funded completely by the Cal-ICH Encampment Grant. This $1.168 million aw ard would create a second MCAP team focused on river encampments. This grant has already been approved by the City Council.
Public Works
The FY 2022-23 budget placed a greater focus on the Public Works Department, as the newly re- organized Department s ought to tackle various “community beautification” efforts . Last year’s budget saw the completion of the movement of Park Maintenance and Facilities Maintenance from Parks and Recreation and Building from Community Development. Furthermore, the Sewer Maintenance and Stormwater Divisions were more accurately budgeted, reflecting updated needs in these two important areas.
The effort at refining and right-sizing the Public Works budget continues in FY 2023-24, increasing funding year -over-year by $1,846, 050 to $16,752,800. The Streets, Engineering, Facilities, Building and Park Maintenance Divisions are all increasing from the prior year. It should be noted that none of this funding is related to Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects. The section following provides an overview and description of the City’s CIP projects and funding levels for FY 2023-24.
There is a $150,000 increase in the Engineering Division related to professional engineering services expenses budgeted to support the newly re vived and expanded Traffic Commission.
These professional services will provide a traffic engineer to provide the necessary technical expertise and support to the Commission.
In the Facilities Division, there is $100,000 in additional funds for various trades related contracts:
electrical, plumbing, elevator maintenance, locksmith service, etc. The City’s aging facilities
Budget Message, FY 2023-24
UPDATED June 5, 2023

require more regular maintenance, and the use of on-call trades services has increased over the last several years. The City’s jan itorial needs have also increased as more special events are held (see Parks and Recreation Department overview). Recent City Council action amended the agreement with the City’s janitorial service, and staff plan to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) in FY 2023-24 as the original scope of work has changed since the contract was awarded.
The Building Division has additional funding for plan check services. However, a portion of the additional contract costs are offset by the revenue generated by plan checks. The agreement shares a portion of plan check revenue generated with the engineering firm. Therefore, as plan check activity increases, so does revenue generated, helping to offset total contract costs.
Utilizing a consultant engineering firm for these services allows the City to respond in real-time to changing plan check needs – scaling up and down as necessary based on overall demand.
Finally, Park Maintenance has a net increase of $136,900. There are increases for fertilizer and landscape services, offset by decreases in certain fringe benefit areas based on prior year trends (i.e., health insurance, PERS, etc.).
One position is being added to the Department: a full-time Traffic Engineer. The plan is to utilize third-party traffic engineering services to support the Traffic Commission while recruitment for this position is underway. Funding will then be transferred from professional services to salary and benefits once the position is filled.
Transit
The largest enterprise fund -- as measured by total expenditure and revenue appropriations – is Transit, Fund 600 (Montebello Bus Lines). This fund accounts for the various sources ( Metro Transit revenue, Federal Transit Administration, etc.) and uses of funds (salaries, maintenance, equipment purchases, etc.) that are utilized to fund daily bus operations. The FY 2023-24 proposed Transit budget – excluding grants (Fund 270) and Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) State of Good Repair funding (Fund 202) – includes $38.395 million in expenditures (an increase of $2.890 million over FY 2022-23) balanced against $ 39.374 million in revenue (a $ 978,450 projected surplus).
It should be noted that certain Transit-specific American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds remain available for Transit operations and will be clai med as allowed expenses are incurred. This additional revenue has not been added to the project ed FY 2023-24 budget. However, once recognized, revenue for FY 2023-24 will come in higher than the current projection. (For example, a portion of this “pande mic era” funding was used to offset salary and benefit expenses in FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23.)
The table below provides an overview of actual expenditures and budgets from FY 2019-20 through the proposed FY 2023-24 budget, by Division:
Budget Message, FY 2023-24
UPDATED June 5, 2023
xxxi
The Administration Division projects a decrease in full-time salaries. There are some vacancies at the management level which will remain into FY 2023 -24, resulting in a lower budget when compared to the prior year. There has also been a re -organization of classifications, as certain obsolete job titles are eliminated and replaced (i.e., Grant and Project Administrator for Sr.
Management Analyst).
The Operations Division will see an increase of $1.050 million from the addition of full-time Bus Operators and the filling of vacancies coupled with higher fuel costs. In recent years, the number of Bus Operator positions approved has increased from 105.0 full -time equivalents (FTE) in FY 2020-21, to 120.0 FTE in FY 2021-22 to 150.0 FTE in FY 2022-23. In addition, a hiring incentive program was initiated in FY 2022 -23 in an effort to fill the myriad vacancies in this job classification. As hiring efforts have been successful, full -time salary and benefits budgets will increase in FY 2023-24 vs the prior year.
The Corporate Shop Division will see a $ 2.645 million increase vs. last year . There are two supplemental items added to the FY 2023-24 budget: $800,000 for “bus wraps” that will complete the rebranding of the Montebello Bus Lines fleet; and $180,0 00 to purchase a heavy -duty scrubber and a ride-on sweeper. There is also an increase in salaries and benefits as vacancies in this Division are filled.
In addition to the operating budget found in Fund 600, capital and equipment projects and purchases are also funded through grants and state funding. Additional details can be found in the budget book on Transit Grant expenditures (Fund 270) and SB1/SGR projects (Fund 202).
There are changes to Transit’s table of organization. These changes actually lead to a net decrease of one (1.0) FTE in the Department. The Public Information Office r position is being accounted for (more appropriately) under the ne w Public Affairs -Information Technology Department, and two vacant positions are being eliminated since their classifications are obsolete – Grants and Project Administrator and Sr. Procurement Analyst.

Supervisor is being reduced from 15.0 to 13.0 FTE – with no impact to service or staff since there are vacancies in that classification. The additions to staffing are summarized below:
These changes to the table of organization will help Transit operate more efficiently and provide improved supervision for Montebello Bus Line’s twenty -hour per day operations. Moreover, additional oversight of the millions of dollars in grant awards will be provided by these organizational updates.
Capital Improvement Program
The proposed CIP budget for FY 2023-24 includes a mixture of new appropriations and carryover of previously appropriated but not yet spent funds. The total (estimated) CIP budget for FY 2023- 24 is $37.363 million. This amount is comprised of $14.258 million in new appropriations and $23.105 million in (estimated) carryover funds. It should be noted that the final carryover amounts will not be known until after yea r-end close (June 30, 2023). As was done in prior fiscal years, subsequent City Council action will be requested to appropriate the carryover amounts.
In addition, there will be some remaining uncommitted funds in certain funds that could be used for new capital projects (those not included in the current CIP project list) or for expanding approved projects if necessary. In other words, available fund balance exists that has not been committed to a particular project – either with previous budgets or with the FY 2023-24 proposed budget. The Director of Public Works will work with staff and the City Council to determine potential priority projects to which these unprogrammed funds can be obligated. Subsequent City Council action would appropriate the unprogrammed funds depending on decisions made about new or expanded CIP projects.

*These amounts are estimates; actual amounts will not be known until after June 30, 2023. Subsequent City Council action will follow to re-appropriate carryover funds for applicable CIP projects.
There are several new projects as well as existing projects having their budget increased, proposed in the FY 2023 -24 CIP, in different stages of planning: engineering studies/analysis, design, construction, maintenance and administrative/contractual agreements. • The Garfield Avenue/Via Campo intersection project would have an additional $700,000 in Proposition A funding added to the existing carryover budget of $1.019 million. This project is aimed at adding a bus turnout at this location, helping to alleviate traffic backups and other issues.
• As part of the Golf Course Renovation and Topgolf projects, design work needs to be completed for a (new) entry road off Via San Clemente ($1.750 million) that provides access to the Topgolf facility

• Design and construction work for Plaza Drive would commit $784,000 in Proposition C funds for this project in the northeast corner of the City • The City has an annual street resurfacing program, encompassing “grind and overlay,” “slurry seal,” “reconstruction,” and “HYRAP ” work, depend ing on the condition of the street. These annual projects will have $3.496 million committed to them in FY 2023 -24 from Measure M, Measure R, SB1/RMRA and TDA-3 funds
• Regular maintenance such as replacing signs, maintaining traffic signals, striping, and other related work will be funded utilizing State Gas Tax funds ($805,000) The City will also continue utilizing the remaining Paving the Way bond funds ($14.929 million) to repair and pave streets throughout Montebello. Additional details and plans will be provided at subsequent City Council meetings. One major project on the near horizon is using Proposition C Paving the Way bond proceeds to pave and complete related work on Montebello Blvd., from Los Angeles Street north to Lincoln Avenue.
As discussed earlier in this Budget Message, staff have improved cost allocation methods, and will be utilizing the maximum amount allowed per Metro Local Return Fund guidelines to offset administrative costs. Public Works staff and consultants conducting engineering, planning and related work charge their time to Proposition A, Proposition C, Measure M and Measure R on an “hours worked" basis. This allocation of time relieves the General Fund of these expenses, allowing for additional budget capacity.
Conclusion
The Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget is being prepared under promising, yet tempered, conditions as the economic and social impacts of the global pandemic continue to wane since the spring of 2020. The entire $211.425 million all-funds spending plan provides appropriations across the full range of services that Montebello provides: fire, police, transit, public works, community services, planning, building, code enforcement, information technology , financial planning, homeless outreach, street impro vements, recruitment, and so forth. There will be $ 208.910 million in revenue from various sources to fund the myriad expenditures across all operations.
This budget provides expansion of certain services and programs, while continuing the process of modified zero-based budgeting that will place Montebello on sound financial footing. It represents the fourth year of a five-year plan designed to achieve fiscal sustainability and create a culture of fiscal responsibility throughout the organization. Right sizing the budget by re - evaluating prior methods by which bud gets were built will continue, providing for funding where appropriate while ensuring the City lives within its means and manages public funds responsibly and transparently while meeting the needs of residents and responding to City Council strategic goals.

RE: Paving The Way Program (Montebello Blvd from Los Angeles Avenue to Lincoln Avenue)
Dear Rita:
We are pleased to submit our scope of services and fee proposal to provide engineering services for the Paving The Way Program Project for Montebello Boulevard from Los Angeles Avenue to Lincoln Avenue. The following scope, fee and schedule are based upon the review of the 90% construction plans prepared by Infrastructure Engineers, topographic survey exhibits prepared by OnPoint Land Surveying, geotechnical report prepared by P.A. & Associates, and proposed median exhibits prepared by the City.
Mark Thomas will assume the responsibility and associated liability for stamping and signing of the project plans, thus requiring due diligence in ensuring the intent and accuracy of the previously prepared plans. With the lack of CAD files, we will rebuild the plan set, using the prior design as the starting point. Our team will conduct a field review to verify all field elements and site conditions are adequately represented on the plans. Additionally, we will prepare the necessary details of the curb ramps to facilitate construction and reduce contractor change orders.
The raised landscaped median is a new element to the proposed project that significantly impacts the existing plans as prepared. The project plan preparation will be altered to include the median layout and top of median curb profiles. Additionally, supplemental survey will be required.
Scope of Work
1. Design Development
1.1 Project Management
Project Administration
We will perform project administration. The tasks will include documentation, meeting management, budget tracking, scheduling, project task tracking, etc. to help the project stay on track.
Meetings (4)
A kickoff meeting will be held with the appropriate team members to establish the key contacts, design directives protocol, discuss issues, confirm objectives and schedule of deliverables.
PAGE 2 OF 4
Preliminary design (35% Design), 90% design, and final design comment review meetings will be held with the appropriate team members to review city comments, discuss design issues, and develop the project’s PS&E.
1.2 Research and Investigation
Site Investigation
We will field walk site and inventory existing asphalt concrete condition, severe distress and deteriorated asphalt concrete areas, ADA and non-ADA curb ramps, broken concrete (curb, gutter, sidewalk, and driveway), visible utility, topography, drainage, and other notable features to consider in engineering design. Additionally, We will generate field notes and photograph log of the field walk.
Research and Obtain Record Maps and As-builts
We will obtain available research and as-builts from the City including R/W maps, roadway plans, utility plans, signing and striping plans, etc.
1.3 Project Survey
Topographic Survey Review
We will review the topographic survey, survey base map and data provided by the City’s hired consultant, OnPoint Land Surveying Inc. (On Point), and compare the survey data with the collected data from our field investigation.
Supplemental Design Survey
OnPoint will perform a topographic survey on the painted lane lines at 25’ intervals and shots on pavement adjacent to the proposed raised medians. OnPoint will also perform supplement survey at curb returns to facilitate curb ramp design and/or reflect a new ramp built after the original topo. On Point will provide updated topographic survey in AutoCAD format and updated project-wide DTM.
1.4 Utility Coordination
We will verify all utility owners and contacts within the project limits using Underground Search Alert. We will generate Introductory Letters/Records Requests, Utility Letter A, on City letterhead and request utility as-builts. Follow-ups with each utility owners will occur to verify the existence of any utilities and to secure available records and as-built information. We will prepare a utility base map by adding the verified utilities from the records and as-builts.
We will prepare and send Utility B and C letters to utility owners. Utility B letter will be the Relocation Claim Letter with Utility Conflict Sheets after the 35% submittal. Utility C letter will be the Notice to Owners Letters after the 90% submittal to appropriate utility owners.
Coordination will include preparation of a Utility Matrix that will capture all utility owner contact information and document correspondence/communication with utility owners throughout the project duration.
PAGE 3 OF 4
1.5 Conceptual Plans
Median Layout Plans
We will prepare conceptual median layout plans for City’s review and confirmation on the raised median configuration and associated improvements before proceeding to the 90% submittal. The plans (5 sheets) will be at a 1”=20’ scale and include proposed raised median and typical sections.
Landscape Concept Plans
Mark Thomas will prepare an overall landscape improvement plan at 1”=40’ (black and white) illustrating proposed irrigation points of connection, controller locations, and areas to receive irrigation, planting, and paving will be shown. An irrigation equipment list will be included for the City's maintenance personnel to review.
Separately, an enlargement plan of a 200ft segment of median will be developed to illustrate the proposed typical layout of trees, shrubs, and groundcovers for the medians.
