CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

DATE: JUNE 8, 2022 STUDY SESSION

SUBJECT: REVIEW OF PRELIMINARY FISCAL YEAR 2022 -23 GENERAL FUND,

MEASURE J FUND, AND AIRPORT FUND BUDGETS AND REVIEW OF

PRELIMINARY FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) FISCAL YEAR 2023-27 BUDGET

FROM: Justin Clifton, City Manager

BY: Department of Finance and Treasury
Engineering Division
Aviation

SUMMARY:

This budget Study Session is a follow up to two other S tudy Sessions held on April 25 and May 4, 2022. At those Study Sessions, Staff presented to City Council on the General Fund, the Airport Fund, and the Capital Fund, which includes the 5- Year Capital Improvements Plan.

Staff presented a budget that proposes new investments in numerous areas associated with City Council priorities established over the last year. Council asked S taff for additional analysis and made numerous suggestions for other additions to the budget that should be considered. The primary purpose of this meeting is to begin to reconcile which of the proposed new additions will be put into the final budget.

After the June 8th S tudy Session, Council will have two more scheduled meetings to consider the budget. On June 16, City Council will hold a public hearing to consider a budget that will include any direction provided by Council at the June 8 study session .

The June 16th City Council meeting will also provide an additional opportunity for Council to provide final direction to Staff before the final budget is presented on June 30th . The final budget must be adopted June 30th, before the new fiscal year starts on July 1, 2022.

It is important to note that while a final budget must be approved by June 30, Council has the ability to amend the budget during the year. For this reason, the goal is for Council to provide as much clarity as possible about what new additions to include in the adopted budget. Any areas where Council is not prepared to fully commit to new funding, Council can simply refrain from making an allocation or allocate funds as a placeholder with the direction to Staff not to proceed with spending funds until further consideration by Council.

For this reason, Council may consider focusing first on areas where a majority agree SS Item 1A - 1
City Council Staff Report
June 8, 2022 -- Page 2
FY 22-23 Proposed Budget Study Session
regarding a proposed budget addition and save items that require more consideration until the end of the meeting or future meetings.

BACKGROUND:

The following tables outline the various potential additions to the FY 22/23 budget. Table A includes potential investments in the General Fund. The table includes City Manager recommendations, staff requests not recommended at this time by the City Manager, and additional information proposed or requested by City Council.

Staff is seeking general input on:
• Identifying programs/ projects that a majority of Council agree should be put into or excluded from the budget
• Identifying programs/ projects that need to be added that are not currently included • Identifying programs/ projects that need to be discussed further before funding is allocated
• Any other feedback about priority projects and general direction.

The available funds in the General Fund for budget additions include:
• $44,964,394 in available accumulated fund balance. This is in excess of a 25% reserve balance.
• $7,538,752 is projected revenues over expenses.

If the Co uncil wishes to add projects, chooses to defer a project for approval at a later date, or removes a project from the list, those changes will be reflected and presented at the public hearing on June 16, 2022.

Table B below includes projects listed in the current draft 5- Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).

On May 4, 2022, Staff presented the first draft 5- Year CIP to the City Council. Based on the feedback received, Staff has provided additional information for the CIP which can be found at the following
2022-06-08 BUDGET STUDY SESSION - 5 YEAR CIP (STAFF REPORT - PAGE 5) (palmspringsca.gov)

Given the scope and scale of the 5- Year CIP and the difficulty in refining exact priorities and schedule, Staff is seeking general input on:
• Identifying projects that a majority of Council agree should be included or excluded from the budget
• Identifying projects that need to be added that are not currently included • Identifying programs/ projects on this table that need to be discussed further before funding is allocated
• Any other feedback about priority projects and general direction.

Similar to the direction Staff is seeking on General Fund investments, all projects where a majority of Council agrees will be included in the adopted budget. Any projects where Council is not yet prepared to commit funding can come back at a later date for follow up discussion. Th is flexibility is further supported by the fact that Staff is not able to immediately accelerate progress on capital projects.

Airport Capital Projects

Table C below includes projects included in the Airport Capital Plan. This table gives Council a better understanding of the myriad projects proposed to be completed over the next one to five years. Please note that the City has less discretion over Airport capital projects due to the City’s lease agreements with airlines and other mandates/ restrictions imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). That said, staff is seeking general input on:
• Identifying projects that a majority of Council agree should be included or excluded from the budget (recognizing airlines and FAA have weighed in on most). • Identifying projects that need to be added that are not currently included • Identifying projects that need to be discussed further before funding is allocated • Any other feedback about priority projects and general direction.

The available funds for the Airport capital projects include approximately $48M broken down as follows:
• Aeronautical and non-aeronautical fees $18M
• Unassigned fund $10M
• FAA grant funds $20M

Measure J Recommended Projects
The Measure J Commission met on May 19, 2022, to agree on projects to recommend for Council
approval. The Chair of the Commission will report the recommendations to the Council at a Joint Session on June 8, 2022.

Total funds available for FY 2022-23 is approximately $39M and the Measure J Commission is recommending $30M of projects to be approved at the Public Hearing on 6/16/22.

The Measure J Commission is requesting that the Community Projects of $1M each year that were deferred in FY 2020-
21, FY 2021-22 along with funding in FY 2022-23 be
included for a total amount of $3M to program. The Measure J Commission approved the Community Initiated Projects in t he amount of $2.5M in FY 2022-23. The balance of $500K is being deferred until the new year and the Measure J Commission meets with other Commissions to obtain input on thei
r needs. More background on the Community
Initiated Projects can be found at the following link:

The projected 5 years of projects is appr oximately $88M. If the Council accepts the Commission’s
recommendations, those projects will be presented at the public hearing on June 16, 2022. If the Counc
il wishes to add projects, chooses to defer a project for approval at a later date, or removes a project from the list, those changes will be reflected and presented at the public hearing.

1 As part of the discussion at the Budget Study Sessions of April 25, 2022 and May 4, 2022, Council requested additional information and provided feedback on a variety of proposed budget recommendations and projects. In order to provide Council context for the numerous decisions regarding the budget, Staff has performed additional analysis which is outlined below.

1) C onsideration of the Number of Police Officers and Frequent Vacancies We are in the latter stages of preparing a contract for consultant services to present to Council to evaluate our calls for service and staffing at the Police Department. There is little doubt that we will need additional staffing. The study will help us evaluate our need for traditional law enforcement positions as well as alternative positions such as mental health therapists, social workers, and other support personnel. When this study is conducted, we will make sure the analysis considers the number of staff that are typically available for service, not the number of positions allocated. This should account for our actual experience with vacancies, time off, training, injury, illness, and other circumstances that impact the availability of staff.

2) Number of Positions Frozen/ Unfunded Due to Pandemic and Number of Positions Restored.

A total of 78.75 positions were frozen and unfunded due to the pandemic. All 78.75 positions have since been restored/ re-hired.

3) Literacy Coordinator Position at James O. Jessie
This position was eliminated in FY 2021-22 in favor of adding a more flexible Recreation Program Assistant that could perform literacy programs while performing other functions. The fully burdened cost for a dedicated Literacy Coordinator is $48,355.

The Recreation Department would also like to bring a fee- based 3-hour preschool program back to JOJ in the mornings by using existing staff. This would complement gaps that exist as many other low barrier access preschool programs are income qualified. This program would also help provide literacy programs.

The program was eliminated during the pandemic because all services were halted, and the teacher chose to take early retirement. Preschool children are not being served at JOJ and staff feel this would be a good addition to their available services. At Demuth Community Center, the Pee Wee Rec program is fully operated by Recreation Program Aides.

4) Pension Obligations for New Staff
For the past several years, the City has been setting aside between $3 - $6 million in a CalPERS reserve fund, and the current reserve balance is $28,250,000. Staff is currently working with a consultant to assist with funding options for the unfunded liability. All new personnel costs include the fully burdened cost, including pension.

5) Number of Recommended Firefighter Positions – 6 versus 15 The City Manager asked departments to submit requests for staffing needs. All requests were evaluated on the merits of the request and within the context of all other requests and available funding. While the City has new available revenue to invest in services, there are still substantially more needs than there are available resources. The fundamental challenge with adding 15 firefighters all at once is only the substantial needs in other departments that are competing for limited resources. Numerous other department requests were also recommended for partial, rather than full funding of their requests. In addition to the staffing SS Item 1A - 16
ATTACHMENT 2

2 requests already recommended by the City Manager, there remains broad program areas within Council’s priorities with very littl e capacity. In particular, the P olice Department represents another large public safety department with clear needs to additional personnel.

The City Manager recommended only 5 new positions at PD, mostly to wait for a comprehensive review of department staffing that will be underway soon. Additionally, homeless services, affordable housing programs, sustainability and economic development are all high priority programs with very limited staffing and program support. The City Manager recommendation to fund 6, rather than 15 firefighters , is an attempt to balance these competing needs. The goal to achieve 4 firefighters per apparatus is a good one and reflective of modern standards. The 6 firefighters would enable us to do this at two of our busiest stations. Funding 9 fire fighters would allow 4.0 staffing at three stations and potentially to achieve an ISO Class 1 designation. The Class 1 ISO designation is also a worthy one. Class 1 ISO rating reflects the highest rating a department can achieve. Approximately 1.1% of fire departments nationwide and about 4.6% of departments in the state of CA achieve an ISO 1 according to Verisk, the parent company of ISO. Again, improving from a very strong ISO 3 to an outstanding ISO 1 is a worthy endeavor the city should pursue while balancing the needs to invest in other service areas that may be even further behind performance goals.

The ongoing personnel costs for the additional 9 Firefighters is $1,340,958. An additional 4 Firefighters would cost $446,986.

6) Purchasing Electric Vehicles
Staff is working on electrical upgrades to the Police Station and the City Yard. As part of those projects, Staff will include electrical capacity for charging stations. Staff can evaluate our upcoming vehicle purchases to determine how many can be deferred to assess timing and costs and to evaluate hybrid and fuel-efficient vehicles.

7) Breakdown of Request for Branding and Marketing/ Tourism Discretionary $100k This request is to fund a consultant to create a branding package to help brand City departments and services and develop style guidelines. This supports City Council priority 4B, Good Governance – Improve Communications. The one- time costs are $100,000. Branding Contract Scope of Services may include an assessment of City Service areas ; developing a brand identity usage guideline; brand messaging statements; brand marketing and promotion strategy; d eveloping marketing collaterals ; p resentation design; and r esident message development.

8) Facility Fee Waivers for Non-Profits
The adopted FY 21-22 Comprehensive Fee Schedule does not include non- profit rates for many Parks & Recreation facilities, including James O. Jessie and Demuth Community Centers. There are discounted rates listed for some rooms at the Leisure Center, but the discounts are not applicable across the board for all locations and all rooms. The library does offer a 50% discount for non- profits for room rentals. Staff plans to bring a broader policy on fees for non-profits to a future Council meeting, as requested by City Council.

9) Workforce Development Budget
Broad Economic Development programs, including specific workforce development are not currently offered by the City. The cost of these programs is hard to estimate. For purposes of understanding future needs compared to current budget resources and proposed spending, SS Item 1A - 17
ATTACHMENT 2

3 staff included a placeholder of $2 million annually. This amount would support an expanded economic development team, along with program costs for workforce development.

10) Student Intern Program
The City currently allow internships. We recently closed a Planning Internship recruitment and are working with Aviation on an internship program. The internships are sometimes advertised or offered as the Human Resources department receives requests. These internships are currently unpaid positions. If the City were to consider paying for internships, this cost could be approximately $100,000 - $300,000 annually depending on how many positions were allocated. This funding has been included in the list of Potential General Fund Budget Additions for Council’s consideration, as shown in Table A of the staff report.

11) Constituent Services Position and Additional Council Support The budget currently provides funding for an additional administrative position to assist Council. It has not been filled due to filling other vacancies but will be recruited soon. While this position could provide significant assistance with constituent inquiries, it may not provide significant assistance with policy research or other work that some Council Members have assigned to interns.

12) Measure D Fund
The City receives between $7.5 - $9 million in taxes per year funded through Measure D. The proposed FY 22-23 budget for Police is $44.7 million and Fire $25.7 million. 100% of the Measure D funds are used on public safety.

13) Add Long-Term Planner Position
The estimated one-time costs for this position are $4,600 and ongoing costs are $207,805.

This position has been included in the list of Potential General Fund Budget Additions for Council’s consideration, as shown in Table A of the staff report.

14) Add Diversity Manager Position
The estimated one-time costs for this position are $4,600 and ongoing costs are $187,975.

This position has been included in the list of Potential Gen eral Fund Budget Additions for Council’s consideration, as shown in Table A of the staff report.

15) Marketing and Tourism Discretionary $100k Funding Request This funding is for discretionary services provided throughout the year, to support City Council priority 1E, Quality of Life. The ongoing annual costs are $100,000. If the City Council desires additional Communications staff and/or programs, the estimated costs are $500,000 annually. (Staff Report Table A). Below are the current budgeted costs for FY22-23:

Concerts in the Park $20,000
Additional P.S. I Love You Magazine Funding $ 7,000
Festival of Lights Parade Advertising $1 0,000
Fourth of July Advertising $1 0,000
Veteran’s Day Parade Advertising $ 5,000
Additional Marketing Events Over FY 2022-23
$48,000
$100,000

4 16) Special Programs Staffing to Address Illegal Vacation Rentals The Department of Special Programs has contracted with a third -party vendor to provide vacation rental software which will include short -term rental compliance and detection services to identify unregistered vacation rental activity. The contract includes a dedicated project manager and support staff to ensure services adequately meet the Department’s need for enforcement. Annual cost is $90,000, which is included in the proposed budget.

17) Project Progress Updates
Staff has implemented a social media notification process for construction projects to provide progress updates to the community. In addition, Engineering and IT Staff will be working on capital project storyboards within the GIS environment.

18) Fire Station 1 Relocation Project
This project is proposed to be partially funded with Measure J funds for year one of the 5- Year CIP and has been recommended by the Measure J Commission.

19) Library Project
This project is proposed to be partially funded with Measure J funds for year one of the 5- Year CIP and has been recommended by the Measure J Commission.

20) Bogert Trail Sewer Lift Station Project Status
The contract for the lift station will be awarded on June 16, 2022, and the expected project time frame is approximately 300 calendar days (10 months).

21) Additional Funding for Street Paving/ Slurry Program We have increased our spending on street repaving from $3 million to $6 million and are currently spending approximately $1 million a year on the slurry program. It is necessary to repave older streets when their Pavement Condition Index (PCI) , reviewed by a third- party engineer, is low. It is also important to slurry newer pavement so that t he oils within the pavement are regenerated to extend the useful life of said pavement. Information about the City’s slurry program can also be found on the City’s Engineering Departments webpage.

22) Pickleball Courts Project
The funding request for pickleball courts is from the Community-Initiated Projects application process through Measure J. Staff has not yet vetted the request but is requesting funding for year one of the 5- Year CIP to begin the process of engaging the community and possibly starting the design. This project will be prioritized along with all other projects within the 5- Year CIP.

23) Additional Funding for Traffic Calming
Staff is requesting $500,000 a year in the 5-Year CIP, and based on previous projects, does not anticipate that the combined traffic calming projects each year will exceed $500,000. In addition, if a project exceeds $200,000, Staff will need to request additional funding from the City Council. Also, if a major project comes forward through the traffic calming process, Staff will segregate that project from the traffic calming budget and create a capital project that would be included in the 5- Year CIP as a standalone project to be prioritized with all CIP projects. That said, staff included a placeholder for possible expanded traffic calming up to $1 million if Council would like to prepare for more robust traffic calming projects.

SS Item 1A - 19

5 24) Arnico Tract Sewer Project
Sewer facility fees generate the revenue needed to pay for the capital costs to expand and improve sewer treatment. Residential sewer systems were constructed thr ough the establishment of Assessment Districts. Under that model, the City would finance the cost of new sewers, determine a proportional special assessment to be levied against the properties the residential properties that are benefitting, and then issuing bonds to obtain the construction funds. Because of Proposition 218, establishment of special benefits (like the installation of new sewers to residential property) through Assessment District requires a formal ballot and affirmative votes of the benefitting property owners. Voters typically vote the measure down and this prevented the City from pursuing extension of new sewers into the residential areas of Palm Springs that currently lack service unless other funding was made
available for that work.

Measure J is another funding source Council can consider in lieu of an Assessment District.

The Measure J Commission could recommend funding for other areas of the City not yet connected to sewer. Measure J funds were used for the earlier phases of the Arnico Tract sewer project. In addition to the Arnico Tract, there are 8 other sewer line extension areas that require approximately $9 million in funding.

25) Jackie Lee Houston Plaza Shade Structure
This project was a request by the Convention Center. The Measure J Commission agreed that the project could be funded using Measure J funds as Measure J funds have previously been used for Convention Center projects.

26) Palm Tree Up-Lighting
Staff has not yet generated refined estimates, but a placeholder of up to $90,000 has been provided for Council’s consideration and is included in Table B of the staff report.

Airport Capital Projects Plan
4 The table on the next slide includes projects included in the Airport Capital Plan. This table gives Council a better understanding of the myriad projects proposed to be completed over the next one to five years. Please note that the City has less discretion over Airport capital projects due to the City’s lease agreements with airlines and other mandates/restrictions imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). That said, Staff is seeking general input on:
• Identifying projects that a majority of Council agree should be included or excluded from the budget (recognizing airlines and FAA have weighed in on most)
• Identifying projects that need to be added that are not currently included • Identifying projects that need to be discussed further before funding is allocated
• Any other feedback about priority projects and general direction The available funds for the Airport capital projects include approximately $48M broken down as follows:
• Aeronautical and non-aeronautical fees $18M
• Unassigned fund balance $10M
• FAA grant funds $20M

General Fund Budget FY 2022-23
The following table outlines the various potential additions to the FY 22/23 General Fund budget. The table includes City Manager recommendations, staff requests not recommended at this time by the City Manager, and additional information proposed or requested by City Council.

Staff is seeking general input on:
• Identifying programs/projects that a majority of Council agree should be put into or excluded from the budget
• Identifying programs/projects that need to be added that are not currently included • Identifying programs/projects that need to be discussed further before funding is allocated • Any other feedback about priority projects and general direction.

The available funds in the General Fund for budget additions include:
• $44,964,394 in available accumulated fund balance
• $7,538,752 is projected revenues over expenses.

Generally speaking, the roughly $45M in available fund balance is one-time money and should be spent on one-time expenses. The roughly $7.5M in projected revenues of expenses should be ongoing, subject to changes in the local economy. If the Council wishes to add projects, chooses to defer a project for approval at a later date, or removes a project from the list, those changes will be reflected and presented at the public hearing on June 16, 2022 8 Table of Potential Budget Additions

5 - Year Capital Improvement Plan
14 The following table includes projects listed in the current draft 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Staff is seeking general input on the following:
• Identifying programs/projects that a majority of Council agree should be put into or excluded from the budget
• Identifying programs/projects that need to be added that are not currently included • Identifying programs/projects that need to be discussed further before funding is allocated • Any other feedback about priority projects and general direction.

The available funds for the CIP include approximately $65M annually broken down as follows:
• Grants and denotations: $30 Million
• Measure J: $20 Million
• Measure A: $7.5 Million
• Gas Tax: $1.4 Million
• SB1 RMRA: $1.1 Million
• Discretionary transfer from the General Fund: $2 million • Other Sources: $3 Million
• It should be noted that Council has discretion to transfer some or all the $44.9 million available General Fund balance or some or all the $7.5 million General Fund projected revenue over expenses. This would require forgoing other investments with those funds. 5 - Year Capital Improvement Plan
