and labeled as Interfund Transfer Offset. The error in the June 30, 2021 ACFR was not discovered during staff’s review of the report. The principal portion of the debt payment should have been reported in the Principal line under Debt Service as highlighted in the attached ACFR excerpts. The consolidated General Fund financial statements presented in the Financial Section of the City’s ACFR are correctly stated. The error occurred only within the Statistical Section in the break-out of the General Fund Group.

I am working with Eadie + Payne to correct the error and re-issue the City’s ACFR. The restated and correct report is expected to be completed and ready for distribution by February 8, 2022. In the meantime, the June 30, 2021 ACFR has been pulled from the City’s website and the six individuals who received a bound hard copy version of the report will be notified of the pending correction. Those notifications have already begun.

For your reference, also attached, is the corrected version of the Measure O Fund Budgetary Comparison Schedule (page 162 of the ACFR). You can see that the $1,617,085 has been correctly classified in to the Principal line item and that the overall results have not been impacted. Net change in Fund Balance remains $293,440 and Ending Fund Balance is $18,314,275.

Lastly, and also for your refence, is the schedule for IUF reimbursements to the City’s utility funds. The impact of entire amount due is recorded in the June 30, 2021 financial statements. A lump sum amount of $5,000,000 was paid from the General Fund in June 2021. The remaining payments are made on a quarterly basis. This payment schedule complies with the court order used on June 14, 2021. No moneys have or will come from the Measure O Fund to make these reimbursements.

BACKGROUND
Numerical values included in the narrative below may not add due to rounding.

DISCUSSION
General Fund (101)
Revenues: Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22 General Fund revenues are now projected at $202.2 million, up $2.7 million from the revised budget of $199.6 million. The increase primarily results from four main factors: a $4.9 million increase in the projection for sales tax revenues; a $0.9 million increase in projection of property tax and deed transfer tax revenues; a $1.3 million increase in the projection for other revenue; and an offsetting $4.4 million decrease in revenue from fees and charges due to the EMS implementation delay.

The General Fund sales tax revenue projections, which include the 1% Bradley Burns sales tax and 1.5% Measure E sales and use tax, are being increased from $88.4 million to $93.3 million, a $4.9 million higher amount based on strong sales tax quarters in the second half of 2021. Compared to projections made in Spring 2021, the City anticipates slight growth in property and deed transfer tax of approximately 1.1% or $0.9 million based on increased assessed valuations. A $1.3 million increase in other revenue is attributable to $0.9 million of Wildland Fire reimbursement and onetime reimbursement for the Rose IFD Developer Agreement of $0.4 million. While the categories of General Fund revenues just described are anticipated to rise in total by $7.1 million, there is an offsetting $4.4 million loss in fees and charges for services due to a delay in implementing EMS services.

Expenditures: FY 2021-22 General Fund expenditures are now projected at $184.8 million, $17.3 million dollars below 595
the revised budget total of $202.1 million. The decrease in estimated expenditures primarily results from three main factors: $4.1 million of anticipated net personnel savings due to unfilled positions, $6.4 million in reduced operating costs (of which $5.5 million is due to the EMS delay), and $6.8 million of anticipated carryover to FY 2022-23 for multi-year projects that had projected spending in FY 2021-22 that is now anticipated to occur in future fiscal years.

Available Fund Balance: The FY 2021-22 General Fund Adopted Budget assumed a starting fund balance at July 1, 2021, of $20.8 million, or 10.4% of expenditures plus transfers out. The actual fund balance proved to be somewhat higher at $29.3 million, primarily due to actual FY 2020-21 sales tax revenue, fees, and other revenues coming in higher than estimated.

The City’s mid-year projections for General Fund revenues ($202.2 million) and expenditures including transfers out ($184.8 million) would result in a FY 2021-22 net operating surplus of $17.4 million. Adding the projected net operating surplus of $17.4 million to the starting fund balance of $29.3 million and subtracting $6.8 million projected carryover committed for multi-year projects yields a projected ending fund balance at June 30, 2022, of $39.9 million, or 21.6% of expenditures and transfers out. Of the $39.9 million projected ending fund balance, $19.5 million is committed for reimbursing the City’s Utility Enterprise Funds for prior years’ Infrastructure Use Fees (IUF).

For additional detail, refer to the General Fund Tables in the attached Powerpoint presentation (slides 4 &5).

Measure O (Half-Cent Sales Tax) Fund (104)
Revenues: FY 2021-22 Measure O Fund revenues are now projected at $20.0 million, up $0.7 million from the revised budget of $19.3 million. The increase is a result of higher projected sales and use tax revenue based on the most recent two strong sales quarters of 2021.

Expenditures: FY 2021-22 Measure O Fund expenditures are now projected at $20.0 million, about $2.0 million (or

9.7%) lower than the revised budget of $22.2 million. Of the $2.0 million reduction, approximately $0.2 million is the anticipated annual operational savings resulting mostly from vacancy savings for programs such as College Parks, Safe Home Safe Family and lower recreational activities impacted by the Omicron surge (such as PAL and Preschool to You).

The remaining reduction represents $1.8 million that will be carried over to FY2023 for one-time projects.

Available Fund Balance: The FY 2021-22 Measure O Fund Adopted Budget assumed a starting fund balance at July 1, 2021 of $5.8 million. The actual fund balance proved to be higher at $11.4 million, primarily due to unspent capital appropriations and multi-year projects that are carried out to future years.

Updated FY 2021-22 projections for Measure O Fund revenues ($20.0 million) and expenditures ($20.0 million) would result in a slight deficit for the FY 2021-22 operating budget. Subtracting anticipated carryover of $1.8 million from the starting fund balance of $11.4 million yields a projected available ending fund balance at June 30, 2022, of $9.5 million.

For additional detail, refer to the Measure O Fund table in the attached PowerPoint presentation (slide 6).

Water Funds (601 & related)
Revenues: FY 2021-22 Water Fund revenues are now projected at $68.6 million, down $1.9 million from revised budget of $70.6 million. The decrease is primarily a result of $1.3 million projected decline in Fees and Charges due the IUF related rate reduction, $0.2 million lower interest earnings, and $0.4 million lower fines and forfeitures as certain fines and penalties continue to be temporarily suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Expenditures: FY 2021-22 Water Fund expenditures are now projected at $92.1 million, lower by $54.7 million (37.2%) compared to the revised budget of $146.8 million. The decrease in estimated expenditures is primarily a result of $4.9 million in operational savings, which includes supplies, services, and chemical purchases and $49.8 million in spending on capital projects initially budgeted for the current fiscal year that are now projected to occur in future fiscal years.

Available Fund Balance: The FY 2021-22 Adopted Budget assumed a starting fund balance for the Water Fund at July 1, 2021, of $67.6 million. The actual fund balance proved to be somewhat higher at $83.9 million, primarily due to the 2021A Water Refunding Bond proceeds.
596
The FY 2021-22 projections explained above for Water Fund revenues ($68.6 million) and expenditures ($92.1 million) would result in net annual activity of a negative $23.5 million of which $18.3 million in capital project expenses will be funded with 2021A Water Refunding Bond Proceeds received in FY 2020-21. The 2021A bond proceeds are included in the $83.9 million starting fund balance. Subtracting the projected negative net operating activity of $23.5 million from the starting fund balance of $83.9 million and subtracting $37.0 million projected carryover of multi-year commitments yields a projected available ending fund balance at June 30, 2022, of $23.4 million, or 25.5% of expenditures plus transfers out.

For additional detail, refer to the Water Funds table in the attached PowerPoint presentation (slide 7).

Wastewater Funds (611, 621 & related)
FY 2021-22 Wastewater Fund revenues are now projected at $52.4 million, down by $22.0 million from the revised budget of $74.4 million. Of the $22.0 million decrease, $21.7 million is a delayed draw-down from the State Revolving Fund (SRF) Loan. Projects funded from the loan will carryover to FY 2022-23; both spending and draw-down will occur in later years. The remaining $0.3 million decline is the result of IUF related rate adjustment and lower projected interest earnings.

Expenditures: FY 2021-22 Wastewater Fund expenditures are now projected at $39.2 million, lower by $66.6 million (63%) from the revised budget of $105.9 million. The decrease in estimated expenditures results almost entirely from capital projects budgeted for the current fiscal year, the spending for which is now projected to occur in future fiscal years, plus $2.0 million of reduced operating costs for professional services, supplies, and chemicals.

Available Fund Balance: The FY 2021-22 Adopted Budget assumed a starting fund balance for the Wastewater Fund at July 1, 2021, of $58.0 million. The actual fund balance proved to be higher, at $63.9 million, due primarily to unspent capital appropriations. The beginning fund balance of $63.9 million excludes the $28.5 million of unspent capital appropriations and FY 2020-21 carryover for the SRF Loan which will be drawn- down based on future spending on those capital projects.

The FY 2021-22 projections explained above for Wastewater Fund revenues ($52.4 million) and expenditures ($39.2 million) would result in net annual activity of $13.2 million. Adding the projected net annual activity during FY 2021-22 of $13.2 million to the starting fund balance at July 1, 2021 of $63.9 million and then subtracting the $14.0 million of projected carryover (again this excludes SRF) yields a projected ending available fund balance at June 30, 2022 of $63.1 million, which represents 160.7% of annual expenditures.

For additional detail, refer to the Wastewater Funds table in the attached PowerPoint presentation (slide 8).

Environmental Resources Funds (631 & related)
FY 2021-22 Environmental Resources Fund revenues are now projected at $61.1 million, up $7.7 million from the revised budget of $53.4 million. Of the $7.7 million increase, $10.2 million is a result of a draw-down for the acquisition of refuse trucks funded through an equipment Line of Credit. The increased revenue from the Line of Credit is anticipated to be offset by $2.5 million in lower operating revenues. The $2.5 million projected decline is a result of $0.9 million from the IUF related rate reduction, $1.2 million of lower Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) recycled commodity sales and tipping fees, and $0.4 million lower interest earnings and lower fines and forfeitures as certain fines and penalties continue to be temporarily suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Expenditures: FY 2021-22 Environmental Resources Fund expenditures are now projected at $69.3 million, down $10.8 million (13.5%) from the revised budget total of $80.1 million. The decrease in estimated expenditures primarily results from $7.8 million of capital projects budgeted for the current fiscal year, the spending for which will now occur in future fiscal years, plus $3.0 million of reduced operational costs for green waste processing, recycling buybacks, waste hauling supplies, and savings from supplies, machinery, and equipment contracts.

Available Fund Balance: The FY 2021-22 Adopted Budget assumed a starting fund balance for the Environmental Resources Fund at July 1, 2021, of $33.0 million. The actual fund balance was $33.2 million. 597
The FY 2021-22 projections explained above for Environmental Resources Fund revenues ($61.1 million) and expenditures ($69.3 million) would result in net annual activity during FY 2021-22 of a negative ($8.2) million.

Subtracting the projected net FY 2021-22 operating deficit of $8.2 million from the starting fund balance at July 1, 2021 of $33.2 million and subtracting the $7.8 million projected unspent capital appropriations to be carried over into FY 2022-23 yields a projected ending available fund balance at June 30, 2022 of $17.2 million, which represents 25% of annual expenditures.

For additional detail, refer to the Environmental Resources Funds table in the attached PowerPoint presentation (slide 9).

Recommended $1.0 million appropriation for Public Liability Fund (701) The Human Resources Department is requesting a $1.0 million appropriation from the available fund balance of the Public Liability Fund due to a significant increase in liability insurance premium in FY 2021-22 and the settlement of a litigation matter.

Recommended $0.16 million appropriation for Workers’ Compensation Fund (702) The Human Resources Department is requesting a $162,947 appropriation from the available fund balance of the Workers Compensation Fund due to increased State of California self-insurance fees as a result of increased claims payments during 2021-22.

Position Control Resolution
Staff requests the following edits to the Position Control Resolution, which lists the City's positions:

1. City Manager's Office: add one Management Analyst II. This position will primarily serve as the City's public records advocate. No budget adjustment is needed. (This will be absorbed by the available FY 2021-22 budget).

2. Cultural and Community Services Department-Library: reclassification of one Library Circulation Supervisor to Library Services Supervisor. This is a revision to the title that was added in the FY 2021-22 Adopted Budget. No budget adjustment is needed (will be absorbed by the available FY 2021-22 budget).

3. Department of Billing & Licensing: reclassification of one Customer Service Rep II to Sr. Customer Service Representative. An increase in more complicated collections/taxation as a result of three years' back billing for business taxes with approximately 5,000-6,000 needing to be processed with more to be identified in future years. These transactions require a higher level of expertise with sensitive and confidential data from state agencies. In addition, these transactions often bring a higher level of customer interaction and resistance. No budget adjustment is needed (will be absorbed by the available FY 2021-22 budget).

4. Finance Department: one position reclassification and one new authorization within the Finance Department is required. A reclassification of the vacant Financial Analyst II position to an Accountant III position (no change in salary range) to better meet the needs of the General Accounting Division. The Accountant III will be responsible for complex accounting transactions. One new Accountant II is needed for additional General Accounting Division support. No budget adjustment is needed (will be absorbed by the available FY 2021-22 budget).

5. Police Department: reclassification of 28 Police Officer III’s to Police Corporal (no change in salary range) and reclassification of one Police Word Processor III to Police Records Supervisor due to increased job duties. No budget adjustment is needed (will be absorbed by the available FY 2021-22 budget).

6. Public Works Department-Fleet Division: reclassification of one Customer Service Rep I to Account Clerk II.

The duties performed by this position are consistent with the Account Clerk classification. No budget adjustment is needed (will be absorbed by the available FY 2021-22 budget).

Classification and Salary Schedule Resolution
Staff requests the following edits to the Classification and Salary Schedule Resolution:

1. Establish salary range for new Accountant III and Police Corporal positions described under “Position Control Resolution” above
598

2. Increase hourly rate for Crossing Guard due to increase in minimum wage

3. Establish salary range for Homeless Programs Assistant (position was added in the FY 2021-22 Adopted Budget; this action is needed to correct omission from salary range resolution)

4. Increase salary range for Public Safety Trainee to be more comparable to surrounding agencies

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item is a routine operational item or does not relate to the five strategic priorities adopted by City Council on March 16, 2021.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The financial impact of each recommended action is spelled out in the Discussion section that describes that action.

DATE: March 1, 2022
TO: City Council
FROM: Shiri Klima, Deputy City Manager, (805) 385-7487, [email protected] SUBJECT: Update on Status and Accomplishments of Current Measure O Projects and Opening the Conversation regarding the Weaning Schedule. (0/10/10)

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:

1. Receive and file the annual update; and

2. Open the conversation regarding the Measure O weaning schedule.

Please click the following link to view the required Measure M pre-recorded presentation video:
https://youtu.be/6C11bCPNPN0

BACKGROUND
On November 4, 2008, the voters of the City of Oxnard approved Measure O, a half-cent sales tax for twenty years.

According to the ballot language, the City of Oxnard Vital Services Measure was intended “to protect, maintain, and enhance vital services including police, fire, emergency response, increasing street paving/pothole repair to improve traffic flow, expanding youth recreation, after school and anti-gang prevention programs, acquiring property for parks/open space preservation, upgrading stormwater drains, improving senior services, increasing code compliance, and other general services.”

DISCUSSION
The Past Year's Successes
As of January 4, 2022, there were a total of 42 active projects: 25 ongoing operational projects, 5 ongoing debt service items, and 12 one-time projects. Ongoing funded projects receive a specific amount of funds each fiscal year; if staff does not use all funding from that fiscal year, we cannot roll over unused funds to the following fiscal year. One-time funded projects receive the approved funding only once, and staff expend the funds throughout the course of the project, even if these funds roll over to the next fiscal year. Once the funds are depleted, that project receives no more funding.

This calendar year has been trying on many projects due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Either there were further staffing shortages due to the stay-at-home orders or programs put on hold due to health and safety orders. However, there were many accomplishments as well. In the table below are the status updates on all ongoing active Measure O funded projects.

Committee preCOVID. The City is
hiring a project
manager to focus on
site based
development
projects and
retaining a
consultant to study
the commercial
landscape postCOVID and perform
a gap analysis. This
data will be utilized
in developing the
economic
development
strategic plan.

With the continuation of COVID and the shortage of
workers, the market remains unstable. Staff continues to work with the business community to offer resources and support in the form of grants, outdoor business expansion opportunities, job fairs and the Employee Pipeline while the bigger strategy is being developed.

Weaning Process
On February 18, 2020, at the City Council meeting, staff explained that since Measure O will terminate in 2029 and we were past its midpoint, it was time to begin weaning ourselves off that stream of revenue. At the time, there were two purposes to weaning. First, in order to ensure the City can cover debt payments due past the sales tax’s sunset, the City needed to build up the fund balance in the few years before the sunset date. Second, at Measure O’s termination, all ongoing programs would have to be moved to another funding source, so the weaning effort was intended to make that reabsorption process smoother.

On July 22, 2021, at the Measure O Citizen Oversight Committee meeting, staff reported that the Covid-related recession impacted the Measure O half-cent sales tax revenue much less than staff predicted. Cumulatively from FY 2020-21 through FY 2028-29, Measure O would likely bring in $17 million more than staff anticipated a year prior. Though the concern about accumulating enough funds to cover debt payments due past the sales tax’s sunset had waned, the Oversight Committee recommended to continue to wean gradually to transition all ongoing programs to the General Fund by the time Measure O terminates, assuming such programs should transition. If Council agrees with this recommendation, the next issue is how to approach this weaning process.

Of the total 42 current Measure O programs, the ones weaned should only be those programs that are active and ongoing, which are the 25 projects listed in the first table above; the only exception is for the Measure O Audit (Project 16 above), which should not move to the General Fund because Measure O should pay to audit itself, and once it ends, there is no need for this audit. The five ongoing debt payments listed in the second table above should continue to be paid by Measure O as they are debt associated with items procured through Measure O. One-time projects should be completed and closed out from Measure O.

In the FY21-22 adopted budget, the 24 programs that need to be weaned cost the City $14,444,517. Though this amount is likely to grow over time due to various factors such as increases in employee labor contracts, retirement costs, internal support costs, and contract services (e.g., the Spanish Interpretation program), if the City were to wean equally from FY21-22 to FY28-29, utilizing the FY21-22 total cost, we ought to target $1.8 million in reabsorptions into the General Fund per year.

Staff offered the Oversight Committee four possible eight-year weaning schedule scenarios. (Of course, there are many other weaning schedule scenarios possible.) On October 28, 2021, the Oversight Committee recommended completing this weaning schedule at double the speed (meaning within four years rather than eight). More specifically, the Committee recommended weaning full time equivalent (FTE) positions and public safety projects first.

Staff is currently evaluating the Oversight Committee’s recommendation. Weaning at double speed means the General Fund needs to absorb those expenses in double time. The FY21-22 cost of all those projects is just over $14.4M; assuming a 2% increase in costs each year, weaning in double time means the General Fund would need to be ready to absorb $15.6M worth of projects in FY25-26. Staff is searching through the current budget and assessing our needs for the upcoming years to be able to recommend what items can move from the General Fund to Measure O such that the General Fund can absorb this large amount, if it can. Staff will return to Council in the Spring with a recommendation on this weaning process.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

REPORTS
AGENDA ITEM NO. J.5
DATE: March 1, 2022
TO: City Council
FROM: Stephen Fischer, City Attorney, (805) 385-7483, [email protected] SUBJECT: Introduction of an Ordinance Amending Oxnard City Code Section 2-2.5.Regarding the Boundaries and Identifying Number of Each City Council District. (5/10/10)

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council introduce an Ordinance for first reading (by title only, waiving further reading) that amends Oxnard City Code Section 2-2.5. regarding the boundaries and identifying number of each City Council district.

BACKGROUND
Every ten years, cities with by-district elections are required to use new census data to review and redraw district lines to reflect population changes. This process, called redistricting, ensures that all districts within a city have nearly an equal number of people residing within each district.

While state law only requires that the City hold four public hearings or workshops on the redistricting process, the City Council held a total of seven public hearings on the redistricting process. These public hearings were held on July 29, 2021, September 30, 2021, December 6, 2021, January 6, 2022, January 22, 2022, February 1, 2022 and February 16, 2022.

As of the City Council meeting on February 1, 2022, a total of eight maps had been submitted by members of the public. They were as follows:

1. Public Map 1 was submitted by Planning Commission Chair Daniel Chavez Jr.

2. Public Map 2 was submitted by Planning Commission Vice Chair Ronald Arruejo.

3. Public Map 3 was submitted by Councilmember Gabe Teran.

4. Public Map 4 was submitted by Planning Commission Chair Daniel Chavez Jr.

5. Public Map 5 was submitted by Councilmember Oscar Madrigal.

6. Public Map 6 was submitted by Manuel Herrera.

7. Public Map 7 was submitted by Manuel Herrera.

8. Public Map 8 was submitted by Robert Vasquez.

In addition, as of the City Council meeting on February 1, 2022, the City’s demographer had prepared for the City Council’s consideration a total of four maps – NDC Maps 201, 202, 203 and 203A.

At the February 1, 2022 City Council meeting, each Councilmember indicated which of the 12 maps before them at that point they wished to consider further. Six maps were identified by one or more members of the City Council as maps which that member wanted the City Council to consider at the February 16, 2022 City Council meeting. These maps were Public Maps 4, 6 and 7, and NDC Maps 201, 203 and 203A.

After the February 1, 2022 City Council meeting and before the map submittal deadline of February 7, 2022 at 5 p.m., a 651
total of three additional maps were submitted to the City:

9. Public Map 9 was submitted by Planning Commission Chair Daniel Chavez Jr.

10. Public Map 10 was submitted by the Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE)

11. Public Map 11 was submitted by CAUSE.

At the February 16, 2022 City Council meeting, the City’s demographer – Kristen Parks of National Demographic Corporation – gave an overview of the six maps that the members of the City Council had selected to move forward for further consideration (Public Maps 4, 6 and 7, and NDC Maps 201, 203 and 203A) and the three maps that had been submitted after the February 1, 2022 City Council meeting (Public Maps 9, 10 and 11). Following the February 16, 2022 public hearing and after detailed discussions and deliberations by the City Council regarding the various maps, the City Council voted 5 to 2 to select NDC Map 203A as the map it wished to be brought back on March 1, 2022.

ANALYSIS
Based upon the City Council’s action on February 16, 2022 regarding the selection of NDC Map 203A, City staff drafted for City Council consideration an ordinance which would amend Oxnard City Code Section 2-2.5. so that the boundaries and identifying number of each City Council district are modified to be consistent with NDC Map 203A.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item does not relate to the five strategic priorities adopted by City Council on March 16, 2021.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact.
