Public Notification
Upon Agency staff approval, WCA will post a door hanger notice prior to commencement of grid pruning (within 24-48 hours). After tree plantings, door hangers will be provided to residents instructing them on the proper care for their newly planted tree. For more comprehensive outreach we can also submit a press release for special projects or routine maintenance. The Agency may modify the procedures and materials to which we notify residents.
Communication Systems
Our use of modern and reliable communication systems affect our daily job performance by increasing our efficiency. Management and Field Personnel utilize smart phones as both navigational and communication devices in the field. Smart phones have proven to be a convenient method to input data as related to tree inventories, daily work records, timesheets, photos, and billing information; eliminating the need to handwrite data and improving customer service by minimizing response time.

Upon request of City, Contractor shall immediately furnish City with a complete copy of any insurance policy required under this Agreement, including all endorsements, with said copy certified by the underwriter to be a true and correct copy of the original policy. This requirement shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.
The fact that insurance is obtained by Contractor shall not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of Contractor, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this Agreement. The duty to indemnify City and its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by Contractor. Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of Contractor, its principals, officers, employees, agents, persons under the supervision of Contractor, vendors, suppliers, invitees, sub-Contractors, subcontractors, or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.
If Contractor should subcontract all or any portion of the services to be performed under this Agreement, Contractor shall require each subcontractor to provide insurance protection in favor of City and its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers in accordance with the terms of each of the preceding paragraphs, except that the subcontractors’ certificates and endorsements shall be on file with Contractor and City prior to the commencement of any work by the subcontractor.

Any failure to maintain the required insurance shall be sufficient cause for City to terminate this Contract. No action taken by City hereunder shall in any way relieve Contractor of its responsibilities under this Contract.
The fact that insurance is obtained by Contractor shall not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of Contractor, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this Contract. The duty to indemnify City shall apply to all claims and liability
regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by Contractor. Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of Contractor, its principals, officers, agents, employees, persons under the supervision of Contractor, vendors, suppliers, invitees, consultants, sub-consultants, subcontractors, or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.

No further payments shall be deemed due or will be made under this Agreement until any replacement bonds required by this section are accepted by the City. To the extent, if any, that the total compensation is increased in accordance with the Agreement, the Contractor shall, upon request of the City, cause the amount of the bonds to be increased accordingly and shall promptly deliver satisfactory evidence of such increase to the City.
To the extent available, the bonds shall further provide that no change or alteration of the Agreement (including, without limitation, an increase in the total compensation, as referred to above), extensions of time, or modifications of the time, terms, or conditions of payment to the Contractor, will release the surety. If the Contractor fails to furnish any required bond, the City may terminate this Agreement for cause.
3.2.11.4 Surety Qualifications. Only bonds executed by an admitted surety insurer, as defined in Code of Civil Procedure Section 995.120, shall be accepted. The surety must be a California admitted surety with a current A.M. Best’s rating no less than A: VIII and satisfactory to the City.

City Council
STAFF REPORT
Date: June 21, 2023 Agenda Item:
2.Q.
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Prepared By: Nichole Huetinck, Admin
Department: Sheriff
SUBJECT:
Amend Existing Agreement with Flock Group Inc. for Flock Safety Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR)
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager to amend the current agreement with Flock Group Inc. for the installation and maintenance of Phase 2 and Phase 3 for an additional twenty (20) Flock Safety cameras and increase compensation by $68,000 for a total amount not to exceed $93,000 for fiscal year 2023-24.
SUMMARY:
In March of 2021, the City approved the installation of ten (10) Flock Safety ALPR fixed cameras (Phase 1) in various locations around the City of Norco. The implementation of the Flock system has shown to be a force multiplier in assisting the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office with their criminal investigations. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize an amendment to the existing agreement by approving Phase 2 and Phase 3, which would include the installation of an additional twenty Flock Safety ALPR fixed cameras at strategic locations around the City. Adding the twenty additional Flock Safety ALPR fixed cameras would increase compensation by $68,000 for fiscal year 2023-2024.
BACKGROUND:
In March of 2021, the City approved the installation of ten Flock Safety ALPR fixed cameras in various locations around the City of Norco. The current ALPR technology is used to capture license plate information and compare license plate numbers with multiple law enforcement databases (e.g., stolen vehicles; felony vehicles; warrants; terrorism watch list; amber alerts; etc.). If a vehicle of interest has been observed, an alert will go to law enforcement. ALPR systems automate and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of identifying stolen/wanted vehicles among the thousands observed entering and exiting our community.
Adding twenty additional Flock cameras in Norco would dramatically improve our law enforcement's ability to solve crimes. The additional cameras would provide cameras at each entrance to the City (except locations where an adjacent city already has a Flock camera capturing the direction of travel needed) and strategic intersections throughout the City's interior. Using the data in real-time will allow Deputies to find wanted vehicles and better understand where they are in the City, not just whether they have entered or exited the City. Most law enforcement agencies in California share their Flock data providing a statewide network of cameras capturing wanted vehicle information. If a vehicle is wanted by Norco Deputies and that vehicle appears in any other city using Flock Safety cameras, law enforcement will be alerted. The reverse is also true.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The annual reoccurring costs associated with the existing Phase 1 implementation is approximately $25,000. The total upfront cost for the additional twenty (20) cameras (Phase 2 and Phase 3), including installation, is $68,000. The costs have been included in the FY 2023-24 General Fund Operating Budget. The total annual recurring cost associated with all thirty (30) cameras for Fiscal Year 2024-25 would be approximately $85,000 and will be included in their corresponding fiscal years RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:
Strategic Plan Number 1: Public Health, Safety and Wellness: Enhance quality of life by promoting public health, safety and wellness initiatives for all community members.

2.R.
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Prepared By: Lisette Free, Finance Director
Department: Finance
SUBJECT:
Approval and Adoption of the Annual Appropriations Limit for the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2023-33, approving the annual appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.
SUMMARY:
The City is required by Article XIII of the State Constitution to adopt an annual appropriations limit which sets the maximum appropriation for the General Fund. Staff is recommending that Council adopt the attached resolution approving $53,949,789 as the appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 2023-24.
BACKGROUND:
Attached is a resolution, as required by State law to approve the appropriations limit for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 in the amount of $53,949,789. Staff is still going through the budget process in order to establish General Fund’s final appropriation for FY 2023-24.
However, it is important to note that the FY 2023-24 General Fund appropriations will be significantly less than the appropriations limit calculated under State law. The calculated appropriation amount is the maximum amount that the City Council can appropriate from the General Fund for FY 2023-24.
The appropriations limit for FY 2023-24 has been calculated using the change in the City of Norco’s population of -0.52% and the State change in per capita personal income of
4.44% as provided by the State of California Department of Finance. Attachment A is the FY 2023-24 Appropriations Limit Calculation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Not applicable for this item
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:
The Annual Appropriations Limit for FY 2023-24 is consistent with Strategic Direction No. 3 - Economic Development and Financial Stability: Assure financial stability by expanding development efforts, diversifying revenue sources and continuing prudent financial management

May 2023
Dear Fiscal Officer:
Subject: Price Factor and Population Information
Appropriations Limit
California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2227 requires the Department of Finance (Finance) to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments. Each local jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 2023, in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations limit for fiscal year 2023-24. Attachment A provides the change in California’s per capita personal income and an example for utilizing the price factor and population percentage change factor to calculate the 2023-24 appropriations limit. Attachment B provides the city and unincorporated county population percentage change. Attachment C provides the population percentage change for counties and their summed incorporated areas. The population percentage change data excludes federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations.
Population Percent Change for Special Districts
Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2228 provides additional information regarding the appropriations limit.
Article XIII B, section 9(C) of the California Constitution exempts certain special districts from the appropriations limit calculation mandate. The code section and the California Constitution can be accessed at the following website: http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes.xhtml.
Special districts required by law to calculate their appropriations limit must present the calculation as part of their annual audit. Any questions special districts have on this requirement should be directed to their county, district legal counsel, or the law itself. No state agency reviews the local appropriations limits.
Population Certification
The population certification program applies only to cities and counties. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify any population estimate that exceeds the current certified population with the State Controller’s Office. Finance will certify the higher estimate to the State Controller by June 1, 2023.
Please Note: The prior year’s city population estimates may be revised. The per capita personal income change is based on historical data.
If you have any questions regarding this data, please contact the Demographic Research Unit at (916) 323-4086.

Attachment A
A. Price Factor: Article XIII B specifies that local jurisdictions select their cost of living factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their governing body. The cost of living factor provided here is per capita personal income. If the percentage change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage change to be used in setting the fiscal year 2023-24 appropriation limit is:
Per Capita Personal Income
Fiscal Year Percentage change
(FY) over prior year
2023-24 4.44
B. Following is an example using sample population change and the change in California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2023-24 appropriation limit.
2023-24:
Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 4.44 percent
Population Change = -0.35 percent
Per Capita Cost of Living converted to a ratio: 4.44 + 100 = 1.0444 100
Population converted to a ratio: -0.35 + 100 = 0.9965
100
Calculation of factor for FY 2023-24: 1.0444 x 0.9965 = 1.0407 Attachment B Page 2 of 3

Prepared By: Amanda Hamilton, Facilities and Maintenance Director
Department: Facilities and Maintenance
SUBJECT:
Kathy Azevedo Spirit of Norco Monument and Recipient Award Policy and Procedures RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Kathy Azevedo Spirit of Norco Monument Conceptual Design and Recipient Award Policy and Procedures
SUMMARY:
In October 2022, staff began working with the Kathy Azevedo Monument Subcommittee to revise a plan for the monument. Staff was tasked with finding a location that was suitable for ADA accessibility along with a monument that would fit within the confines of the $90,000 budget. Staff wanted to create a monument that was beautiful and that would represent Kathy's spirit and bravery along with a monument that was attractive to all visitors of the George Ingalls Equestrian Event Center.
In November 2022, Caprock was able to have the conceptual plans donated by Rodarte Landscape Architecture and Carlile Coatsworth Architects. The subcommittee comprised of two council members, Patrick Daniels from CapRock, and City staff have developed the policies and procedures for the recipient awards. In addition, the Azevedo family has also provided input on the monument along with the recipient award guidelines. The Azevedo family has asked to be part of the Subcommittee for the first three years of the recipient award.
BACKGROUND:
The Kathy Azevedo Spirit of Norco Monument site will be located at the Ingalls Event Center surrounding the stagecoach on the arena level. The 2-3' high pony walls will delineate the monument and provide structure to the garden/monument memorial area.
The monument will incorporate metal sculptures created by Ricardo Breceda who has created other metal artwork at the event center. The monument will feature a metal Pegasus, angel wings, and cacti as primary focal points of the monument. Incorporated
into the desert landscape will be a monument sign that will provide an inscription along with a picture of Kathy riding her horse in Moreno Arena.
The monument will also act as a natural gathering point for all to view the beautiful artwork along with the names of recipients found on the 4" x 8" inscribed bricks for the monuments pathway. The angel wings will offer a more interactive approach to the monument by providing visitors photo opportunities at the site and provide inspiration to others to join in the true spirit of Norco through volunteerism, devotion to the community, and preservation of the Norconian lifestyle. Staff will also be working with Act 1 on incorporating the Horsetown USA®, logo in the middle section of the bricks with stamped concrete. See "Attachment A" for the conceptual view of the monument.
On May 8, 2023, the Kathy Azevedo Monument conceptual plans, recipient award policies and procedures were presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission. The Commission recommended approval of the plans, policies and procedures but requested that the block wall be lowered in front of the stagecoach to not block any photo opportunities. The request is to have the wall lowered to 2' in front of the stagecoach.
Staff reviewed this request and will incorporate the change into the final design.
Project Cost and Timeline
Phase of Project Costs Timeline
Artwork $30,000 - with a $8,000 inkind donation June - September 2023 Hardscape (Act 1) $42,420 - with a $15,000 inkind donation August - October 2023 Landscape (in-house) $15,000 September - October 2023
All phases of this project will be under $50,000 and therefore all contracts will be approved by the City Manager.
The Unveiling and Future Recipient Awards
The unveiling of the Kathy Azevedo Monument will take place on what would be Kathy's 70th birthday, November 5, 2023. In 2024, we will have an inaugural class of recipients that will be recognized with inscribed bricks at the memorial. Each year after, a maximum of five recipients will be recognized with inscribed bricks. These recognition events will be held before the Day of the American Cowboy Rodeo.
The City of Norco will purchase and inscribe the bricks before each event. The City of Norco Facilities and Maintenance Department will also maintain and operate the memorial site. The memorial will have the same hours of operation as the Veterans Memoria Plaza, 7 a.m. to dusk.

Delinquent Special Taxes – Community Facilities District No. 2001-1 (Norco Ridge Ranch)
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2023-34, ordering judicial foreclosure of delinquent special taxes in Community Facilities District No. 2001-1 (Norco Ridge Ranch) SUMMARY:
On April 18, 2001, the City Council formed Community Facilities District No. 2001-1 (Norco Ridge Ranch) (the “CFD”), a California community facilities district. The City Council acts as the governing board of the CFD. Also on April 18, 2001, the City Council acting as the legislative body of the CFD authorized the issuance of bonds and the levy of special taxes to pay principal and interest on the bonds for the CFD. The special taxes are collected in bi-annual installments which become delinquent on December 10 and April 10 of each tax year. This action will approve a judicial foreclosure on a property that has not paid its assessments; the foreclosure is required by the bond covenants.
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to the official statement regarding the bonds issued for the CFD, the City Council, acting as the legislative body of the CFD, has covenanted to bondholders to commence judicial foreclosure proceedings against properties within the CFD for which special taxes are delinquent. Pursuant to Section 53356.1 of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, judicial foreclosure proceedings cannot be initiated until the City Council, acting as the legislative body of the CFD, has adopted a resolution authorizing the commencement of such actions; it authorizes the initiation of foreclosure proceedings against those properties located in the CFD which have been reported as delinquent with respect to the payment of special taxes.
In order to fulfill the covenant set forth in the official statement, staff recommends that the City Council, acting as the legislative body of the CFD, adopt the resolution authorizing
the commencement of judicial foreclosure actions with regard to those properties identified in Exhibit A, on behalf of City of Norco Community Facilities District No. 2001-1 (Norco Ridge Ranch).
The judicial foreclosure proceedings is for one property/homeowner within the CFD for which special taxes are delinquent. The delinquent special taxes have not been paid despite multiple attempts to reach via United States certified mail/return receipt. The city is obligated to follow through the foreclosure process and does not take this lightly. The City has not had to foreclose a property in recent memory and is required to fulfill the covenant set forth in the official statement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The legislative body of the CFD has covenanted to bondholders to commence judicial foreclosure proceedings against properties within the CFD for which special taxes are delinquent.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Prepared By: Lisette Free, Finance Director
Department: Finance
SUBJECT:
Approval and Adoption of the City of Norco Operating and Capital Improvement Project Budgets for Fiscal Year 2023-24 and Reserve Policy.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2023-35 approving and adopting the City Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2023-24 and authorizing appropriations therefrom.
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2023-36 approving and adopting the City of Norco Capital Improvement Program Budget for Fiscal Years 2024-28.
3. Adopt Resolution No. 2023-37, approving and adopting the City of Norco Reserve Policy.
SUMMARY:
On May 3, May 10 and June 7, 2023, staff conducted budget workshops to review the proposed Operating and Capital Improvement Program Budgets for FY 2023-24. During these workshops, staff presented Preliminary Operating and Capital Budgets to the City Council. The total recommended Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 Operating and Capital Improvement Budget appropriation is $125,557,197.
The Funds included in the City’s Operating Budget consist of the General Fund, Water Fund, Sewer Fund, Housing Fund, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Fund, Gas Tax Fund, Measure R Fund, Miscellaneous Grants Fund, Nancy Newman Trust Fund, National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Fund, and Air Quality Management District (AQMD) Fund. Total estimated revenues and available fund balance or working capital for each Fund exceeds the estimated total expenditures for the year, thus providing for a balanced budget for all Funds, with the exception of the Gas Tax Fund.
BACKGROUND:
The City’s Operating and Capital Budget for FY 2023-24 includes the General Fund, Water Fund, Sewer Fund, Housing Fund, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Fund, Gas Tax Fund, Measure R Fund, Miscellaneous Grants Fund, Nancy Newman Trust Fund, National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Fund, and Air Quality Management District (AQMD) Fund with total recommended appropriation of $125,557,197. The Appropriation Schedule is provided as Attachment A (OP Budget).
The City’s General Fund is the primary Operating Fund of the City and is the main source of monies use to pay for public safety services (fire and police), community services, facilities and maintenance, administration, community development, engineering, and other essential governmental type services. The total recommended appropriation and projected revenue are $31,073,552 and $28,809,595 respectively. This results in a total excess of estimated expenditures over estimated revenues of approximately $2.3 million.
Although the General Fund is projected to have an estimated budget deficit of $2.3 million, the deficit is balanced with available fund balance. Revenue growth is slower than the expenditure growth and the expenditure growth is driven by inflationary pressures and regulatory requirements. It is also important to note that American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding received in the last previous two fiscal years in the amount of $6.3 million provided funding for expenditures that are now funded through the General Fund.
The Water Operating Fund has total estimated operating revenues of $13,015,800 and total estimated expenses of $13,497,860 while the Sewer Operating Fund includes total estimated operating revenues of $7,710,312 and total projected expenses of $10,165,100. The difference between total projected revenues and expenses in the Water and Sewer Funds are $482,060 and $2,454,788, respectively and will reduce the ending working capital for each fund. The ending working capital will be used to fund operating reserves, rate stabilization reserves and future capital projects.
For additional information regarding revenues and expenditures estimates for the rest of the City Operating Funds, including Gas Tax, NPDES, CDBG, AQMD, Nancy Newman Trust, Measure R and Miscellaneous Grant Funds, see Appropriation Schedule (Attachment A OP Budget).
The budget data for the Successor Agency of the former Norco Community Redevelopment Agency, which includes total estimated expenditures of $6,311,833 are presented in the City’s budget document for information purposes only. The Countywide Oversight Board and the State Department of Finance have the authority for approving the Recognized Obligations Payment Schedule (ROPS). On the other hand, budget information for the Housing Successor Agency, which includes total estimated expenditures in the amount of $494,400, is included in the total City budget because the City Council is the Successor Housing Entity's Governing Board.
Factors Affecting the Proposed Operating Budget:
The proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 Operating Budget has been developed under the key assumption that economic activities are leveling off, with revenue growth slowing overall as compared to the post-pandemic "bounce" in revenues across many categories.
Due to rising inflation and interest rates, consumer spending growth has slowed, causing key General Fund revenues, such as sales tax, to show only modest growth next year.
Consequently, revenues and expenditures for FY 2023-24 have been estimated based on a cautious economic environment, as well as historical operating statistics.
Outlined below are additional major factors that are likely to impact Operating Budget revenue in FY 2023-24:
• Sales tax which represents nearly 40% of total estimated General Fund revenue, is projected to increase slightly by 1.1%. Up until this point, the city's sales tax revenue has risen substantially in recent years. However, sales tax is highly sensitive to economic conditions. Rising inflation is leading to a slow-down in consumer spending, which, along with ongoing redistribution of online sales tax, are having a significant negative impact on FY 2023-24 sales tax revenue growth. • Community Development revenues are estimated to decrease from the previous years due to economic and other existing uncertainties. Anticipated residential projects may experience delays, which could have a significant negative impact on projected revenues.
• Water and Sewer Funds revenues are estimated based on current consumption levels and approved rates structure. No rate adjustments are scheduled to be implemented during the fiscal year. It is important to note that with the rising cost of purchased water and the need for capital investments, rate adjustments are anticipated to be necessary in the near future.
The following are key changes affecting the FY 2023-24 Proposed Operating Budget estimated expenditures:
1. Public safety – fire and police contract rates: Riverside County Sheriff’s Department contract rates are projected to increase by 4% while CAL FIRE/Riverside County Fire Department contract rates are projected to increase by 6%.
2. Staffing levels are expected to remain generally flat across the organization, with the exception of one Public Works Utility Worker to meet workloads to serve the needs of the community and reduce the need for contract services.
3. Increase in pension contribution rates for Classic and PEPRA members.
4. Increase in retiree medical insurance costs due to increase in premium and the number of retirees.
5. Increases in general liability, workers' compensation and other insurance programs. The insurance market is suffering its worst time since the 1970's, driving unusual rate increases across the board.
6. Cost increases in third-party contractual and professional services.
7. Rising costs of purchased water.
8. Increase in third-party sewer treatment costs.
9. Increase in Information Technology spending for equipment, security and software upgrades and replacements.
Fund and Working Capital Balances
The estimated beginning and ending fund and working capital balances for the major Operating Funds consisting of the General Fund, Water Fund and Sewer Funds are discussed below.
General Fund:
The estimated fund balance as of the beginning of FY 2023-24 is $31,359,170. Total estimated revenues including transfers-in during the fiscal year is $28,809,595 while total estimated expenditures is $31,073,552; resulting in estimated revenue deficit of $2,263,957 which will be balanced with available fund balance. The deficit is $350,000 less than previous reported at the June 7, 2023 Budget Workshop since $350,000 in Facilities and Park contractual services presented to Measure R were previously accounted for in the General Fund. This will bring estimated fund balance to $29,095,213 at the end of FY 2023-24. This estimated fund balance amount represents 95% of total estimated FY 2023-24 expenditures of $31,073,552. This amount represents a strong fund balance that can continue to prudently support maintenance of existing service levels even if the General Fund experiences short-term revenue decline. As discussed in the latter part of this report, with the dissolution of the Special Asset Revenue Fund, an estimated $4.3 million will be designated in the General Fund balance for Economic Development reserves.
Existing City Council resolution requires that an amount equal to a minimum of 25% of estimated General Fund expenditures be maintained as fund balance for emergencies.
Based on the recommended total General Fund budget of $31,073,552 the amount of fund balance required for emergencies in FY 2023-24 is $7,768,388.
Water Fund:
The estimated beginning working capital balance as of July 1, 2023 is $6,487,725. Total estimated expenses including transfers-out during FY 2023-24 is $13,497,860 while total estimated revenue is $13,015,800 resulting in estimated decrease of $482,060 in working capital. With this decrease, ending working capital is projected to be $6,005,665 by June 30, 2024. The ending working capital will be used to fund rate stabilization and operating reserves; and future capital projects.
The Water Fund’s working capital balance is reviewed annually to determine the amount necessary to make the required contribution in order to meet the target for operating and rate stabilization reserves; and make transfers to Water Capital Fund for future capital projects. The target operating reserve was set to equal three (3) months of the cost of Water Fund operations or $3.4 million for FY 2023-24. The rate stabilization reserve target is $2 million with a goal to fully fund the reserves by FY 2025-26. The actual amount of working capital balance available to be transferred to Water Capital Fund for future projects will be determined at the end of each fiscal year based on actual results.
Sewer Fund:
The estimated beginning working capital balance as of July 1, 2023 is $3,399,734. Total estimated expenses including transfers-out during FY 2023-24 is $10,165,100 while total estimated revenue is $7,710,312 resulting in estimated decrease of $2,454,788 in working capital. With this decrease, ending working capital is projected to be $944,946 by June 30, 2023 mainly due to the $3.2 million loan to the Recycled Water Fund. Like the Water Fund, the Sewer Fund’s working capital balance is annually reviewed to determine the amount to be allocated to meet operating reserve target and to fund capital projects. The operating reserve target was set to equal three (3) months of the annual cost of Sewer Fund operations or $2.5 million. A rate stabilization reserve was not recommended for the Sewer Fund due to the stability of sewer revenues. The actual amount of working capital balance available to be transferred to Sewer Capital Fund for future projects will be determined at the end of each fiscal year based on actual results.
Other Funds:
The proposed budget for other Funds, including CDBG, NPDES, Housing Miscellaneous Grant Funds, and Measure R estimates that there will be sufficient revenues and fund balances during the fiscal year to cover total recommended expenditure appropriations as shown on Attachment A, with the exception of the Gas Tax Fund. The Gas Tax Fund will be monitored through out the year to ensure sufficient funding to support its operations are met and will make adjustments as needed. For more details, please refer to the City’s Proposed Budget schedules for FY 2023-24.
See Proposed FY 2023-24 Operating Budget.
Capital Improvement Budget
During the Budget Workshop, staff reviewed key projects funded by the City’s various Capital Improvement Project Funds; including projects to be funded with Measure R revenues. The Measure R Citizens’ Oversight Committee (COC) met to review funding requests submitted by staff regarding FY 2023-24 budget requests at their April 26, 2023 and May 24, 2023 meetings. The COC completed its review and finalized its recommendations to the City Council for final review and approval (see Attachment A CIP Budget).
See Proposed FY 2023-24 Capital Improvement Program Budget.
Reserve Policy
On June 7, 2023, Staff presented a draft Reserve Policy, which will serve as the framework to enable the City to meet its financial commitments, address unexpected future events in a fiscally prudent manner and ensure the long-term financial health of the City.
Establishing a formalized Reserve Policy (the “Policy”) will serve as the framework to enable the City to meet its financial commitments, address unexpected future events in a fiscally prudent manner and ensure the long-term financial health of the City. This policy is intended to serve as guidelines to assist the City Council in reaching these goals. The policy sets categories in which reserves will be assigned, minimum level reserves will be maintained, and a mechanism for which reserves will be funded and replenished. Many components of this policy are based on existing resolutions or actions to establish reserves; once adopted, the Reserve Policy will replace those prior resolutions, and consolidate the City's reserve goals into a single document that is updated annually and reviewed by the City Council as part of the budget process (see Attachment A Reserve Policy).
Staff provided the Reserve Policy for review and/or comments by City Council on June 7, 2023 City Council Budget Workshop. The following items were discussed to include in the final Reserve Policy.
• Local Emergencies and Natural Disasters Reserves – Goal is to minimum reserves for emergencies of ten million ($10,000,000). This is intended to provide sufficient funding to finance extremely unusual and infrequent occurrences, such as local emergencies or natural disasters.
• Dissolve the Special Asset Fund and designate the funds to the Economic Development Reserves.
With the adoption of the Reserve Policy, the following Resolutions are repealed and replaced by the new resolution:
• Resolution 1998-53, Establishing Reserve for the General Fund • Resolution 2021-59, Outlying City Policies Regarding Initial and Future City Contributions to the Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) Pension Rate Stabilization Programs Trust
• Resolution 2012-38, Requiring 4/5th Vote for Special Asset Revenue Fund FISCAL IMPACT:
Attachment A of the resolution provides a summary of estimated beginning fund balance and working capital; FY 2023-24 estimated revenues, transfers, expenditures/expenses; and estimated ending fund balance and working capital for each Operating Fund. The total operating budget, for all City Funds excluding Successor Agency for FY 2023-24 is $119,245,364. Any changes to this recommended budget will be incorporated into the final published budget document.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:
The allocation of financial resources through the City's Operating Budget for FY 2023-24 is consistent with all the five Strategic Priorities established by the City Council.
