Title: Investment Activity Report for the Fourth Quarter, Fiscal Year 2022 From: City Manager
Lead Department: Administrative Services

Background
The City’s Investment Policy requires that staff report to Council quarterly on the City’s portfolio composition and performance compared to the Council -adopted policy; discuss overall compliance with the City’s Inve stment Policy; and provide recommendations, if any, for policy changes. In addition, staff provides a detailed list of all securities and report on the City’s ability to meet expenditure requirements over the next six months. This report is to inform Council of the City’s investment portfolio performance as of the fourth quarter ending June 30, 2022 and to disclose staff’s cash flow projections for the next six months. The report includes a discussion of the sale of investments prior to maturity, which occu rred in July 2022 to meet higher than expected cash flow needs and resulted in a small principal gain of $3,519.

Discussion
The City’s investment portfolio is summarized in Graph 1 and detailed in the Investments by Fund Report (Attachment B). The Inves tments by Fund Report groups the portfolio’s securities by investment type and includes details of the investment issuer, date of maturity, current market value, the book and face (par) value, and the weighted average maturity of each type of investment and of the entire portfolio.

City of Palo Alto Page 2

The par value of the City’s portfolio is $584.7 million; in comparison, last quarter it was $575.9 million. The $8.8 million portfolio growth since the last quarter results from expected and typical timing of cash flows. Co ntributing factors include the continued rebound of the local economy, second year of pandemic federal aid of $6.9 million, and property tax receipts including Excess ERAF (Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds) totaling $27.7 million. These sources are partially offset by an extra pay period cost in the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter and restoration of some City services.

The portfolio consists of $46.6 million in liquid accounts and $538.1 million in various investment types as detailed in the following Table 1. The investment policy requires that at least $50 million be maintained in securities maturing in less than two years. The portfolio includes $107.5 million in investments maturing in less than two years, comprising 18.4 percent of the City’s investment portfolio. In addition, the Investment Policy allows up to 30 percent of the portfolio to be invested in securities with maturities beyond five years; actual at the end of the second quarter is 28.0 percent of the portfolio.

City of Palo Alto Page 3

The current market value of the portfolio is 93.5 percent of the book value. The market value of securities fluctuates, depending on how interest rates perform. When interest rates decrease, the market value of the securities in the City’s portfolio will like ly increase; likewise, when interest rates increase, the market value of the securities will likely decrease.

Understanding and showing market values is not only a reporting requirement, but essential to knowing the principal risks in actively buying and selling securities. It is important to note, however, that the City’s practice is to buy and hold investments until they mature so changes in market price do not affect the City’s investment principal. As a result, there’s no risk of principal loss due to the declining market value. The market valuation is provided by U.S. Bank, which is the City’s safekeeping agent. The average life to maturity of the investment portfolio is

3.85 years compared to 4.12 years last quarter.

The Investment Policy states “ Should the ratio of the market value of the portfolio to the book value of the portfolio fall below 95 percent, the Administrative Services Department will report this fact to the City Council within a reasonable time frame and evaluate whether there is an y risk of holding any of the securities to maturity.” At the end of the fourth quarter, the market value of the City’s investment portfolio fell to 93.5 percent. I nterest rates are expected to further increase causing market value of the portfolio to fluctuate. A key investment objective in the City’s Investment Policy is safety, where investments are undertaken in a manner to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall investment portfolio. This guided the City’s practice is to buy and hold investmen ts to mature; this minimizes the investment risk in this fluctuating market. As of writing of this report (last week of July 2022) , market value was 97.2 percent.

Investments Made During the Fourth Quarter
During the fourth quarter, $12.8 million of secu rities with an average yield of 2.1 percent matured. During the same period, per the following Table 2, securities totaling $3.9 million 9 Packet Pg. 135

City of Palo Alto Page 4

with an average yield of 3.0 percent were purchased. As expected, as interest rates slowly rose on new investments, th e City’s portfolio’s average yield plateaued in this and the prior few quarters and the portfolio’s average yield is expected to eventually rise due to higher yielding new investments. In the prior two fiscal years or during the height of the COVID -19 economic closures, the portfolio’s interest rate had steadily declined. The City’s short -term money market and pool account increased by $17.7 million compared to the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2022.

Staff continually monitors the City’s short -term cash flow needs and adjusts liquid funds to meet them.

Availability of Funds for the Next Six Months
Typically, the flow of revenues from the City’s utility billings and General Fund sources is enough to provide funds for ongoing expenditures in those respecti ve funds. Projections indicate that for the City’s cashflow, an overall decline in the portfolio of $34.1 million is expected over the coming six months due to routine business needs. This reflects expected receipts of $290.7 million and expenditures of $324.8 million over the next six months.

The expected decline in the portfolio is attributable to pre -paying a portion of the Fiscal Year 2023 Public Employers’ Retirement System’s (PERS) employer contribution of $43.1 million, representing the City’s unfunded accrued liability (UAL) lump-sum prepayment for FY 2023. This has occurred for the past five years with this payment being the sixth. By prepaying PERS instead of making payments with each payroll period, the City is expected to save $1.5 million in pension expense; the savings will be offset by the loss of approximately $0.8 million in interest income in the City’s investment portfolio , resulting in net citywide savings of $0.7 million.

As of June 30, 2022, the City had $46.6 million deposited in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and a money market account that could be withdrawn to satisfy daily liquid cash 9 Packet Pg. 136

City of Palo Alto Page 5

requirements. Table 1 cites that investments totaling $122.8 million will mature within 12 months; of that amount, $35.2 million will ma ture between July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022. Staff expects that the City will have adequate funds to meet expenditure requirements for the next six months.

Sale of Investments Prior to Maturity (July 2022)
As mentioned earlier in this report, a prima ry objective of the City’s Investment Policy is safety with preservation of capital being the approach in the execution of investment activities. The sale of securities is permitted in the Investment Policy (see p. 8) and was authorized by the Director of Administrative Services to maintain required liquid cash for daily City operations.

Staff forecast s both short-term and long -term cash needs and ladders the investments accordingly so there is adequate cash on hand combined with maturing investments to meet the forecasted liquidity needs. In the latter part of the fourth quarter (Q4) of Fiscal Year 2022, due to timing of capital expense and rise in utility commodity costs, there was a need to sell investments prior to maturity to ensure sufficient liquid cash balances for potentially the higher than capital costs in July 2022. As a result, a one -time sale of $10.7 million (par value) in securities was completed in early July 2022 for a net principal gain of $3,519. These security sales provided extra payment flexibility and lowered the July’s liquidity risk. Overall FY 2022 regular warrants (Accounts Payable) and purchase card payments increased by $74.4 million, or

28.9 percent, over the prior year. Going forward staff has adjusted cash projections to consider the higher expenditure levels. As a result, future near-term security sales are not anticipated.

Revenues receipts remain within trend and are expected to keep up with the above higher costs. In addition, investments that are scheduled to mature in August and September are sufficient to maintain the City’s liquid cash requirements. Should the conservative outlook not materialize, these funds can be reinvested in a few months in higher yielding securities since the interest rates on new investments is expected to continue to rise in the coming months and quarters as the federal government increase interest rates to address the elevated inflation rate.

Compliance with City Investment Policy
During the fourth quarter, staff complied with all aspects of the investment policy. Attachment C lists the major restrictions in the City’s investment policy compared w ith the portfolio’s actual performance.

Investment Yields
Interest income on an accrual basis for the fourth quarter was $2.4 million; $0.1 million higher than the prior quarter. As of June 30, 2022, the yield to maturity of the City’s portfolio was 1.62 percent; in the prior quarter it was similar or at 1.61 percent. In the fourth quarter, LAIF’s average yield was 0.69 percent while the average yield on the two -year and five-year Treasury bonds was approximately 2.72 percent and 2.95 percent, respective ly. In comparison, in the 9 Packet Pg. 137

City of Palo Alto Page 6

prior quarter LAIF had 0.29 percent yield and the two -year and five-year Treasury bonds yields were significantly lower at 1.43 percent and 1.81 percent.

Historically, the City’s portfolio yield has outperformed the two -year and five-year Treasury bond rates and did so again starting over two years ago; this is an expected occurrence during economic downturns. However, during economic recovery periods, interest rates rise and the City’s portfolio yield is expected to be lower, as is the current financial environment. As the City’s laddered portfolio investments mature in the next year or two, funds will continue to be reinvested and trends will follow the economic patterns. Graph 2 shows the City’s yields and interest earnings for the past 20 years.

Yield Trends
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), after 17 consecutive meetings, since March 2020, has raised the federal funds rate three times totaling 1.50 percent with the first occurring on March 16, 2022. The third occurred on June 15, 2022 with the rate increase being 0.75 percent (1.50 percent to 1.75 percent). Prior to this the rate was near zero. In order to mitigate the persistent elevated inflation rate, the expectation is FOMC will continue to do multiple federal funds rate interest rate increases in the second half of 2022 and 2023. Consistent with the prior quarter, job growth remains “robust” and unemployment rate remains low, however, FOMC’s inflation concern are “reflecting supply and demand imbalances related to the pandemic, higher energy prices, and broader price pressures.” In addition, they state “lockdowns in China are likely to exacerbate supply chain disruptions.” The following Graph 3 9 Packet Pg. 138

City of Palo Alto Page 7

shows the U.S. inflation rate trend for FY 2022. The FOMC’s target rate, ideally, is to bring the inflation rate to around 2 percent.

This fund is not governed by the City’s Investment Policy; however, it is discussed in this report to present the full picture of the City’s investments. It is the City’s intent to prefund pension costs and began to address the Net Pension Liabilities (NPL) as calculated by Governmental Accounting Standards Board Pronouncement No. 68 (GASB 68). The Section 115 Trust offered by PARS has five portfolios from which to choose in making investments of City funds.

City of Palo Alto (ID # 14466)
City Council Staff Report

Meeting Date: 8/8/2022 Report Type: Information Reports

City of Palo Alto Page 1

Title: Fiscal Year 2022 Annual Evaluation Report for the Santa Clara County Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information on Flood Preparedness and Awareness, and the Resulting Community Rating System Flood Insurance Discounts
From: City Manager
Lead Department: Public Works

Recommendation
This is an informational report and no Council action is required.

Background
The CRS is a voluntary program under the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) National Flood Insurance Program that allows comm unities to earn flood insurance premium discounts for their residents and businesses. Communities earn CRS credit points for activities that promote flood risk reduction practices and encourage residents and businesses to purchase flood insurance. CRS Clas s Ratings are assigned at 500 -point increments, and each improvement in Class Rating nets an additional 5% flood insurance premium discount. The CRS Class Ratings range from 1 to 10, with 10 being the lowest rating and 1 being the highest. The City of Palo Alto has participated in the CRS program since 1990 and has been rated as a Class 6 community since 2017, affording residents and businesses a 20% or 10% (outside of Special Flood Hazard Area, or SFHA) discount on their flood insurance premiums. The CRS r ating was due to a significant effort on flood awareness and floodplain management by the City.

Neighboring cities have earned similar CRS ratings (Mountain View – 7, East Palo Alto – 7, Los Altos – 8, Sunnyvale – 7).

The CRS Coordinator’s Manual includes the option to implement a regional Program for Public Information (PPI). Under the PPI, a community or group of communities work together to create and deliver customized and consistent flood risk reduction outreach messages. By disseminating these messages each community earns points that can improve their CRS rating.

The number of CRS credit points earned depends on how extensive the implemented program is within each community’s boundaries. City of Palo Alto has earned up to 122 points for its PPI efforts.

City of Palo Alto residents and businesses pay $3.4 million (per FEMA data as of May 3, 2022) 10 Packet Pg. 165

City of Palo Alto Page 2

for flood insurance premiums per year. The total savings from the 20% insurance discount achieved by the City on behalf of its residents due to its CRS part icipation is approximately $700,000 per year (per FEMA data as of May 3, 2022 ). Without CRS, the residents and businesses would have paid $4.1 million. Palo Alto participates in the Santa Clara County Multi - Jurisdictional program to enhance the effectivene ss of the flood risk messages to residents, reduce flood risks, and to maintain or improve the City’s CRS rating of 6.

As required by the terms of the PPI, the regional PPI committee must convene annually to evaluate whether the flood risk reduction messa ges are still appropriate and adjust them as needed. A report to FEMA must be submitted annually describing the PPI implementation. The annual report is transmitted to the council of each participating agency to provide updates on the various flood prepare dness and awareness outreach programs that the Santa Clara County Multi-Jurisdictional PPI has undertaken for the past year.

Discussion
The annual report for the 2022 Santa Clara County Multi -Jurisdictional PPI is provided as information for Council. The report highlights the elements of the flood safety outreach programs implemented by the e leven Santa Clara County communities (Cupertino, Gilroy, Los Altos, Milpitas, Morgan Hill, Mountain View, Palo Alto, San Jose, Santa Clara, Santa Clara County, and Sunnyvale) that participate with the Santa Clara Valley Water District (Valley Water) in CRS.

Valley Water, along with representatives from each of the participating communities, developed the original 2015 PPI and the associated annual report. The committee meets annually to evaluate and approve the PPI. The attached 2022 report was created bas ed on meetings that occurred on March 10 and May 19, 2022 . The final version of the 202 2 PPI was presented to and approved by Valley Water’s Board of Directors on July 15, 2022. The worksheet on Appendix A of Attachment A lists the outreach projects, impl ementing agencies, and the messages associated with each of the projects; similarly, Appendix B of Attachment A lists the non-credited CRS outreach projects.

Every year, participating communities must present the PPI plan to the legislative bodies to continue receiving CRS credit. The 2021 Santa Clara County Multi -Jurisdictional PPI was presented to Council on June 14, 2021 (Staff Report ID# 12264). Staff will continue to provide information to Council on the San ta Clara County Multi-Jurisdictional PPI on a yearly basis after the end of each Fiscal Year to achieve the maximum number of CRS credit points and associated flood insurance premium discounts for the community.

Stakeholder Engagement
The program was discussed and prepared by representative staff from the eleven participating communities.

Title: City Council Recess Report
From: City Manager
Lead Department: City Manager

DISCUSSION
The following informational report provides a brief update on activities accomplished during the City Council’s July recess. The updates are organized by department. While the summary is not an exhaustive list of staff activities, it seeks to inform the City Council and the broader community about items completed since the last City Council meeting of the fiscal year or recent efforts underway. The report is transmitted with the August 8 City Council meeting packet.

Administrative Services Department
End of Fiscal Year and New Fiscal Year Activities
Administrative Services Department (ASD) staff have been focusing on annual steps needed to transition from one fiscal year to a new fiscal year, it is the “New Year” for financial staff. This year, in partnership with the Information Technology Department, staff was able to increase automation of software processes needed on June 30 to transition to the new fiscal year on July

1. This increased automation helped this work effort finishing during normal business hours for the first time in years!
Staff also completed other year-end activities including the annual inventory of both warehouses at the Municipal Services Center and Regional Water Quality Control Plant (RWQCP). This annual process requires the physical count of inventory and resulted in no material discrepancies. Staff implemented employment contract terms for payroll processing such as the sunset of provisions implemented for adaptation to the pandemic including changes to leave accrual balances on June 30, 2020. Additionally, staff is actively working on publishing the FY 2023 Adopted Operating and Capital Budget books, targeting an August release date.

Staff published the FY 2023 Municipal Fees, available online.

Other Administrative Activities
11 Packet Pg. 168

City of Palo Alto Page 2

Other staff activities included a focus on employee recruitment and retention, with three active recruitments underway and two new employees beginning in critical roles. An additional Storekeeper in the warehouse (approved in the FY 2023 Adopted Budget) will ensure a safe working environment and the Finance Manager will supervise all accounting functions, including payroll and accounts payable activities.

Throughout this summer, staff continued to support the activities of two Council Ad Hoc committees for the exploration of potential ballot measures as part of the November 2022 election as well as the review of documents in relationship to the ROTH building and partnership with the Palo Alto History Museum. The Purchasing division engaged internal stakeholders to review and improve the City’s procurement process as part of the Purchasing Redesign Project. Staff successfully timed the sale of securities to ensure no loss to the City in order to meet cash-flow needs including the pre-payment of the unfunded accrued liability annual actuarial determined payment.

City Manager’s Office
Three Assistant to the City Manager and Communications Coordinator positions were filled in July, all expected to start in August. The Assistant to the City Manager positions (approved by the City Council as part of the FY 2023 Adopted Budget) will focus on key areas such as housing, economic development and other priorities.

Uplift Local Update
Per Council direction, the Uplift Local closed streets program was extended to December 31, 2023, and adopted access and perimeter rules such as implementation of an emergency access lane, edge treatments no taller than 36” placed around retail and dining spaces, elimination of large tents, and re-established the eight-foot sidewalk width. In order to truly refresh the space, staff planned the physical changes to include a much-needed deep cleaning of the streets and sidewalks. By Friday, August 5, businesses are required to remove all large tents. During the week of August 8-11, Public Works staff and a City contractor will perform sweeping and power washing of the streets and sidewalks. Cleaning will be performed overnight so that businesses can continue to operate during daytime business hours. Businesses will remove all items from the street and sidewalk prior to the nightly cleaning. Once the roads are clean, a City crew will install intermittent striping in front of businesses that use the streets for business operations, which will create the “invisible” emergency access lane down the center of California Avenue and Ramona Street. Coordinated barrier wraps and pole banners will be installed in downtown and on California Avenue that will feature work from local artists. Additionally, staff began working with a consultant to further develop the closed streets, compile a scope of work for the closed streets alternative analysis study, and create a stakeholder engagement plan that will assist with both efforts.

On June 30, Senator Josh Becker shared that the City will receive $2M in funding to replace the 100-year old Newell Road Bridge at San Francisquito Creek. Staff continue to work on the design and are working on a grant application with California Consulting due in mid-September.

In addition, thanks to Assemblymember Marc Berman, the City will receive $5.4M in funding for the Fire Station 4 replacement project.

Community Services Department
Summer Camps
The Community Services Department (CSD) offered a full menu of summer camps including music, dance and theatre, art, science, sports/recreation, and popular Foothills camps. Special interest camps are also offered such as LEGO, technology, writing, and cooking camps. Most camps are offered in person, with a few academic camps in virtual format. Roughly 3,000 youth were served through the City’s camps. Vice Mayor Kou made a special appearance on July 1 at the Young Mayors Kidizens camp, where “kidizens” build small-scale cities with LEGOs and learn how their decisions impact others in their community. The campers built cities that included police stations, schools, grocery stores, fire stations, and more.

Special Events
CSD continued to host events in July, offering a safe and welcoming space for the community to come together, including family movie nights and the July 4th Festival at Mitchell Park featuring live music, a DJ, games and art activities for kids, inflatables, and food trucks. The 2022 Twilight Concert Series, overseen by staff from Palo Alto Children’s Theatre, kicked off on June 25 with a World Music Day Celebration. Presented in collaboration with the Palo Alto Recreation Foundation in Rinconada Park, a diverse roster of acoustic musicians play in the park throughout the day, culminating in an evening concert by the Bay Area Beatles cover band, The Sun Kings. In July, the Twilight Concert Series continued with two concerts featuring popular bands “In the Led” (Led Zepelin tribute band) and “Carnaval” (celebrating the music of Santana) on July 9 and 23. This year’s concert series continues through August at Mitchell Park with Grammy-Award winning musician Mads Tolling on August 6, Heartless on August 13, and The Boys of Summer on August 20. CSD also supports the Magical Music and Motion Summer Concert Series at the Magical Bridge Playground on Friday nights, May through September.

The Palo Alto Children’s Theatre Summer Hot Dog Series production of Goldilocks and the Three Bears completed performances in July, before opening The Stinky Cheese Man on July 20, with performances running through August 7. In addition to a busy roster of summer camps and classes, the Children’s Theatre expanded its Magical Series, spectrum and sensory friendly programming, to include free Music Therapy classes at Mitchell Park Library and Saturday Summer Sing-Alongs held at the Magical Bridge Playground in Mitchell Park. In July, the Children’s Theatre concluded its fourth annual collaboration with the Stanford University Engineering Department’s Compression Forum, with this summer’s research project focused on the creation of a virtual interactive experience that explores human interaction with algorithms. 11 Packet Pg. 170

Public Art initiated a new round of ten ArtLift Microgrant projects in July that will provide more than twenty uplifting community engagements, workshops, performances, and installations through the end of September. Artist in Residence, Rayos Magos, completed the community engagement portion of his residency, which included 21 workshops as well as conducting interviews and gathering stories through his Five Box Project installed at Palo Alto City Libraries.

Rayos Magos is working on design development for his temporary artwork in King Plaza, which will be installed this fall. Information and how to sign-up is available on the Public Art Program website.

The Art Center opened its new exhibit RESTART in late June and hosted a free Friday Night at the Art Center for the community on July 1. RESTART showcases how art can promote healing, connection, and restoration and is the Art Center’s first juried exhibition in more than a decade.

The exhibition features work from a wide range of media by Northern California artists, including six artists from Palo Alto. RESTART is on view through August 20. The Art Center also hosted the annual Palo Alto Clay and Glass Festival on July 9-10 and resumed its free virtual meditation sessions with stress management consultant Julie Forbes on Thursdays at noon through August 25. Sessions will rotate each week between mindful meditation, body scan, loving kindness, and guided visualization, with some gentle movement activities.

Parks and Open Space
Open Space Rangers provided support to Public Works and Fire Department staff to clear brush and vegetation along Arastradero Road and Page Mill Road to reduce fire risk in the Foothills.

Rangers closely monitored Open Space Preserves on July 4 to monitor visitors and prevent illegal fireworks.

Parks and Tennis Courts Maintenance
Parks staff continued to maintain neighborhood parks, athletic fields, and courts with an emphasis on water conservation. While staff reduced irrigation, specifically targeting aesthetic grass areas, particular care is being taken to ensure that trees continue to be adequately irrigated. On July 20, 2022, a contractor completed the resurfacing of the Cubberley and Peers Park tennis courts, which were in dire need of repair.

Office of Emergency Services
The City’s Office of Emergency Services (OES) continued to support pandemic-related functions, both internal to City operations as well as regional coordination with the County of Santa Clara.

The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) posture remained in “virtual” mode, with OES staff in the office, at the Mobile Emergency Operations Center (MEOC), and other sites.

OES led the annual 4th of July Safety Watch that involved agencies such as CAL FIRE, the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, San Mateo County, Santa Clara County, and other state and local agencies.

OES continued to work with regional partners to improve wildfire safety. This includes the alertwidlfire.org program, with new equipment at the Montebello Reservoir and other locations. Internally, OES worked with the Foothills Fire Management Team to coordinate various City departments (Fire, Public Works, Utilities, Community Services, etc.) to continue mitigation work, such as roadside clearing of brush per the Foothills Fire Management Plan.

OES also conducted numerous public outreach and education events such as the MSC Open House and training and exercises for the Emergency Services Volunteer (ESV) program.

Fire Department

Fire Station 8 Staffing
Palo Alto Fire (PAFD) and Santa Clara County Fire (SCCFD) firefighters began staffing Fire Station 8 in the Palo Alto Nature Preserve. The summer of 2022 is the second fire season that PAFD and SCCFD staffed Fire Station 8 since the Tri-Party Fire Agreement for Foothills Fire Station staffing was signed in June 2021. Fire Station 8 is occupied every day between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. and is available to respond to emergencies that occur in Palo Alto, Los Altos Hills, and surrounding open spaces. This staffing rotation will continue until the end of fire season, typically in November.

Santa Clara County Joint Fire Academy Graduation
On July 8, the Palo Alto Fire Department graduated ten firefighters from the Santa Clara Joint Fire Academy (SCCJFA). The SCCJFA wrapped up after eighteen weeks of firefighter and Emergency Medical Services training with partnering agencies, Milpitas Fire Department, Santa Clara County Fire Department, and South Bay Regional Consortium. There were two women in the academy, both of whom are Palo Alto Fire Department hires. Both women were Palo Alto Fire Department cadets before they became PAFD recruits.

Battalion Chief Promotion
The Palo Alto Fire Department conducted a promotional process for the Battalion Chief position. Human Resources personnel and nine chief officers from five different counties representing nine fire agencies assisted in the assessment center. As a result, Marc Muzzi was promoted to Battalion Chief on July 16.

Human Resources Department
Human Resources staff continue to focus on employee recruitment and hiring new talent. In June and July, 90 new hires were onboarded. HR partnered with Community Services to hire 57 of these new hires to lead summer camps. Other successfully completed recruitments include placement for three Assistant to City Managers positions who will focus on Housing, Economic Development, and other priorities. Other positions filled include:
11 Packet Pg. 172

• Utilities Assistant Director, Engineering
• Sustainability Program Administrators (2)
• Assistant Power Engineer
• Associate Power Engineer
• Planner
In addition, there were 13 promotions including a Battalion Chief recruitment resulting in the promotion of Captain Marc Muzzi, who has served Palo Alto for 22 years. Human Resources staff also completed the critical and extensive Police Chief recruitment process.

In June, negotiated salary increases were processed and implemented for the Fire Chief’s Association, the International Association of Firefighters, and Service Employee International Union hourly employee group. Most recently, negotiations with SEIU launched and will continue the bargaining process with a goal to reach agreement of a new contract and bring to Council for approval by the end of 2022.

Finally, a significant amount of staff’s time and resources continue to be required to track, monitor, and complete reporting requirements related to COVID-19, including assisting the administration of employee and community testing, which remains available daily Monday to Thursday each week.

Library Department
Events & Activities
The 2022 Summer Reading Program launched on June 1 with nearly 1500 signups. This year’s theme of “All Together Now” provides participants a unique opportunity to read for a cause.

For every participant who completes the program, the Library will donate $1 to the Palo Alto Community Fund (PACF), an organization which provides grants to non-profits that improve the quality of life for everyone in our community.

With the start of Summer Reading Program, the Library also launched in-person events for all ages. A Little Ones Storytime in the Secret Garden at Children’s Library attracts a weekly crowd of 80+ babies and caregivers. The summer’s “What’s Up Wednesdays” series has provided performances and craft activities for all ages at Children’s, Mitchell Park, and Rinconda Libraries.

The Seed Library has returned to Rinconada Library. It is currently stocked with native wildflower seeds from the #PlantWildFlowers grant courtesy of HHMI Tangled Bank Studios and PBS Nature.

Reboot Services at Mitchell Park Library quietly launched in mid-July. The newly re-vamped Ventura Technology Learning Center on the 2nd floor, provides a variety of hands-on technology workshops, in-person help with eBooks and other digital resources, and the return of the popular Vintage Media Lab, which provides equipment to digitize old formats, such as photos 11 Packet Pg. 173

City of Palo Alto Page 7

and video cassettes. The Library is currently offering Reboot Room tours and Vintage Media Lab appointments.

Coming Soon
The Library will be expanding hours at all locations later this year, including adding a fourth service day at Children’s, College Terrace, and Downtown Libraries; and a sixth day at Mitchell Park and Rinconda Libraries. The Library is still filling vacancies to meet these expansion plans.

Planning and Development Services Department
Boards and Commissions Continued to Meet
Planning and Development Services continued to staff meetings and hearings of commissions and boards during July including the Historic Resources Board, Planning and Transportation Commission, and Architectural Review Board. Topics discussed included permanent parklet standards, courtesy review of the Project Homekey, consideration of accessory dwelling unit policy development, and more.

Safe Parking Neighborhood Check In
The Department held a virtual Safe Parking Neighborhood Check In for a proposed congregation-based safe parking permit at First Congregational Church at 1985 Louis Road.

Over 80 participants attended the event. Staff, the applicant, and the safe parking program operator answered questions from attendees and shared information about the proposed permit. An appeal of the permit has been filed. Appeal of safe parking permits are adjudicated by the City Council, which will be scheduled soon.

Policy Development
Staff continue to develop policies related to notable topics such as hazardous materials, green building, and the 2022 triennial building code update. A potential moratorium on hazardous materials, previously contemplated for Council action in June, was deferred to allow staff additional time to develop a stronger understanding of current and potential new regulations.

Staff are preparing outreach to local stakeholders in advance of City Council discussions on this topic.

The triennial building code update also presents an opportunity to explore local energy reach codes. Staff have been preparing for two outreach meetings to occur in August. Every three years, the State adopts new building standards referred to as the California Building Standards Code. While the State sets the minimum building standards, local jurisdictions can enact more stringent local building standards based on unique local climatic, geologic, and topographic conditions. The City’s proposed 2022 green building regulations aim to increase water conservation and reduce water loss, lower embodied carbon in new construction projects, reduce fossil fuel use in buildings, and facilitate electric vehicle adoption by community members and visitors to Palo Alto. The two upcoming meetings will be held on August 16 and August 18 (both scheduled from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.) to provide background information 11 Packet Pg. 174

City of Palo Alto Page 8

and create an opportunity for community input on these new proposals. Community input gained will help inform the City Council as they consider staff recommendations later this fall. A new webpage is available for the public to learn more about the proposed green building and local energy code updates here.

Project Homekey
Staff continue collaboration with LifeMoves to develop an 88-bed shelter facility on San Antonio Road. Efforts include meetings to review plans for the proposed site to provide feedback and problem solve. In addition, the Architectural Review Board met on July 21, 2022 and provided non-binding comments on the proposed design.

Hiring
The Department continues to work with Human Resources to recruit and fill vacant positions— including newly approved positions in the FY 2023 budget. An offer was made to a building inspector, two new planners were hired, and two planners in Current Planning were promoted.

The summer also included the conclusion of Rachael Tanner’s tenure with the City of Palo Alto; she served as assistant director of PDS from 2019 through the end of July.

Police Department

Recruiting and Hiring
The Department is focused on the recruitment and hiring of qualified candidates to fill current vacancies this fiscal year: (14) police officers (9 vacant/5 hire-ahead for pending vacancies), (5) Dispatchers (4 vacant/1 hire-ahead for pending vacancies), (2) Records Specialists, (1) Business Analyst, (1) Admin Associate. The Department has been working collaboratively with HR to advance the recruitment and hiring processes in this competitive hiring environment. Currently, there are (5) officers in the Field Training Program and (4) in the police academy.

New Police Chief Selection
The City Manager has announced the selection of Acting Chief Andrew Binder as the City’s Chief of Police, following the retirement of former-Chief Robert Jonsen in July. This appointment will be considered by the City Council on August 8 and if confirmed, Chief Binder would become the 11th police chief in the 128-year history of Palo Alto. Personnel in the Department are excited to welcome Chief Binder and are enthusiastic to continue their service to the residents, businesses, and visitors to Palo Alto under his leadership.

New Efforts in Public Communications
Staff worked over the summer to develop ways to re-engage with the community online, after the reduction in staffing due to the global pandemic and economic shifts limited the Department’s budget. The Department shuffled resources and worked with employees to solicit 11 Packet Pg. 175

City of Palo Alto Page 9

online content from all workgroups, and recently began new efforts to share more information (especially pictures and videos) via social media highlighting police personnel, the work they do on a daily basis, and the bonds they have with our community. The Department will continue engaging with the community online by using social media to have two-way conversations with community members whenever possible, answer questions, provide information, and address concerns in a public way. These efforts are currently underway and are intended to be another way that staff are “getting back to normal.”

Below is media inquiry response data for Palo Alto Police Department in June 2022.

Media Inquiries Handled: 18
Staff continued to track these inquiries to ensure response to media requests. Watch Commanders continue to be responsive and accessible, and prioritizing media inquiries appropriately and the web form continues to increase effectiveness and efficiencies of staff supporting these inquiries. Staff responded to requests on the same workday 100% of the time in June (18 of 18 inquiries). In mid-June at the annual shift change, the two Watch Commanders who will be handling media inquiries for the foreseeable future are David Lee and Con Maloney.

Making Community Connections
Due to the pandemic, the Department had largely been unable to continue the longstanding tradition of formal community interaction opportunities during the past two years. Over the summer, staff spent time planning how to bring back many of those opportunities moving forward. National Night Out on August 2 is the first example of this, and staff planned a free block party open to the public to bring the police and community together over food, games, and conversations. Police are also planning on visiting several resident-hosted block parties throughout town that night. Other planned community events, set to debut again this fall and winter, include the Department’s popular Basic Citizens Police Academy, “Breaking with the Law” gatherings (our unique spin on “Coffee with a Cop” events that other agencies often host), and other opportunities for outreach with our schools, community groups, resident associations, nonprofits, and businesses.

Public Works Department
Progress on Public Safety Building and Charleston/Arastradero Corridor Project Significant progress was made on the Public Safety Building (PSB) and Charleston/Arastradero Corridor projects this summer. The PSB reached a key milestone and “topped out” on June 24, pouring the roof of the third story. Since then, work started on the construction masonry unit (CMU) walls in the basement levels and ongoing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work continues. Two thirds of the Phase 3 section of the Charleston/Arastradero Corridor project were paved and striped, concrete medians and irrigation lines were installed, and work on the El Camino Real/Arastradero intersection began.

Other Capital Projects
Several construction projects made significant progress and are nearing completion including Mitchell Park Library roof and gutter redesign/construction, Municipal Service Center reroofing, and street resurfacing construction projects. The Citywide building assessment started and the draft facility and electrification assessment report was completed and is now being reviewed by staff. Additionally, prior to Council’s summer break, the design contract for Fire Station #4 was approved and staff held the design kick-off meeting in July.

Several important Regional Water Quality Control Plant (RWQCP) projects are going through the procurement process and have either already started or are beginning shortly. The projects include the RWQCP’s 12kV Electrical Loop Rehabilitation, Primary Sedimentation Tank Rehabilitation, and Secondary Treatment Upgrades projects.

Foothills Roadside Vegetation Clearance/Fire Prevention 11 Packet Pg. 177

City of Palo Alto Page 11

Roadside vegetation clearance and dead tree removals began on Arastradero Road, Los Trancos Road, and Page Mill Road. Work was completed on Arastradero Road and Los Trancos Road.

Work on Page Mill Road is in progress. This year, the work is being performed with in-house crews from Public Works and Community Services Department Open Space staff provide fire watch and firefighting equipment during the work in coordination with the Fire Department.

Fire mitigation work involves clearing dry grass 15 feet from the edge of the road or to a fence line and removing dead trees. Work on Page Mill Road includes 3.3 miles of road from Foothills Park up to Monte Bello parking reserves. Due to the rugged terrain and slope, much of the work has to be done manually by a crew of 8-10 employees. Hot weather and poison oak add to the challenge. In parallel with this work, the Foothills Fire Management Plan team is working on preparing a scope of work and bid documents to contract this work out.

TESLA Supercharging Stations Installation at Bryant Street Parking Garage TESLA is nearly complete with the installation of 19 supercharging stations on the 3rd floor of the Bryant Street parking garage. Many City departments including the City Manager’s Office, Attorney’s Office, Office of Transportation, Utilities, and Public Works had a hand in bringing this project to fruition. The contractor is currently waiting for final wire material delivery, and the supercharging stations should be available for public use by August 1, 2022.

Airport Updates
A contract was executed for a self-pay parking app for vehicle and transient aircraft parking at the airport, which will make all payments for transient aircraft and vehicles at the airport paperless. By reducing the need for face-to-face contact, the app reduces the spread of COVID- 19 pathogens as well as maximizes staff time. The Palo Alto Airport will be the first general aviation airport in the country to implement an app-based payment system for transient aircraft in the Country.

Airport staff implemented an aviation account management system for all tenants to view their account balances, communicate with Airport staff, and submit maintenance requests. Testing and staff training begins the first week of August.

Office of Transportation (OOT)
Safe Routes to School (SRTS)
Following last year’s successful elementary school event, the Office of Transportation Safe Routes team coordinated an Adaptive Cycling event for Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD) Exceptional Needs secondary school students at Palo Alto High School on June 28. In total, 13 middle school, 6 high school and 3 post-secondary students attended this year’s event.

Bay Area Outreach and Recreation Program (BORP) staff fitted each student with adaptive road bikes customized for youth with various physical abilities at the Paly basketball courts. Adaptive cycling is one way the Safe Routes staff incorporates equity for all students into its programs.

SRTS staff wrapped up a successful Mobile Information Kiosk E-bike program, providing active transportation outreach to the community at City parks, community events, and public schools. 11 Packet Pg. 178

City of Palo Alto Page 12

This activity was supported via Measure B Bicycle and Pedestrian funds, and staff are preparing the final report for VTA.

SRTS staff also prepared materials, updated Walk and Roll Maps, and streamlined processes in advance of the busy fall season, including creating Zero Waste Bike Rodeos, scheduling Back to School events at all secondary schools, and contracting with partners on fall educational programming.

South Palo Alto Bikeways Grant Applications
Staff applied for two grants for the South Palo Alto Bikeways project. Construction phase funding was requested from the Active Transportation Program and from the One Bay Area Grant Program. Grant notification will occur by February 2023.

Churchill Avenue Enhanced Bikeways Project
Design consultants are currently working to develop 95% improvement plans for the Churchill Avenue Enhanced Bikeways Project. Next steps include finalizing design plans and submitting the project to Caltrans for obtaining encroachment permit application for work in State of California Right-of-way at El Camino and Churchill Intersection.

Churchill Avenue/Alma Street Railroad Crossing Safety Improvements Work continues towards developing final improvement plans and bidding documents for the Churchill Avenue/Alma Street Railroad Crossing Safety Improvements project. Staff received and incorporated California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) comments and changes were submitted for Final Approval from CPUC. Staff is working with Caltrain’s Joint Powers Board (JPB) to execute a Service Agreement & Construction and Maintenance Agreement to perform work in JPB Right-of-Way.

Alma Street/Meadow Road Intersection Repair and Improvements Staff finalized, began, and completed construction of repairs and pedestrian refuge improvements for the north-east corner of the signalized intersection.

San Antonio & Charleston Intersection Improvements
Staff is working towards completion of the 95% design plans for the intersection improvements that includes traffic signal modification at the San Antonio and Charleston. Potholing was recently conducted at the intersection to determine traffic signal pole locations and to determine any potential conflicts for the installation of signal pole foundations.

Quiet Zone Study at Palo Alto Avenue
Staff is initiating a study in collaboration with the City of Menlo Park to review the Palo Alto Avenue railroad crossing for quiet zone implementation. Kimley Horn & Associates was selected 11 Packet Pg. 179

City of Palo Alto Page 13

as consultant to provide support to both cities in performing this study in accordance with Federal Rail Administration guidelines and requirements.

Rail Grade Separation Project (Churchill Avenue, Meadow Drive, and Charleston Road) Staff are reaching out to PAUSD, PABAC, Stanford and local designers for refinements to the partial underpass alternative and other alternatives.

Parking Updates
Staff have been working on improving the permit order process as parking programs transition to offering virtual permit purchasing and issuing options. College Terrace Residential Preferential Parking permit renewal sales will begin online August 1, 2022, with current permits expiring at the end of August. Crescent Park No Overnight Parking permit renewal sales begin September 1, 2022, with current permits expiring at the end of September. California Avenue Parking District permit sales begin in September with vendor Duncan Solutions for permits valid during the final quarter of 2022.

Parking and City Managers Office staff continue to improve the parking web pages to increase customer service and ensure they are streamlined, user-friendly, and service oriented.

Grant Administration
Staff submitted the necessary paperwork to receive grant funds for several grants such as Measure B: Bike/Ped Grant where the City will receive $60,000; Section 130 Grant to support the Churchill Avenue/Alma Street Railroad Crossing Safety Improvements project where City will receive $74,164; Measure B: Local Streets & Roads Grant to support local streets and roads programs where the City will receive $64,667.

Ongoing Work
Transportation Planning staff have been conducting development reviews, fulfilling bicycle parking requests, and providing continued support for cross-departmental initiatives, including the PAUSD relocation of Palo Verde Elementary to Greendell School, review of the County’s Stanford Community Plan Update, S/CAP Implementation Planning, Permanent Parklet Program guidelines, and Uplift Local coordination. Staff is also working in close coordination Public Works related to on-going projects such as the Charleston/Arastradero Corridor Phase 3, which has completed new paving, islands, and roadway delineation on Charleston Road between Middlefield Road and San Antonio Road.

Utilities Department

Drought Update
California’s drought continues and State and local water use restrictions are in place in addition to Palo Alto’s permanent water waste regulations. New restrictions prohibit irrigating ornamental landscapes with potable water (drinking water) more than two days per week and between 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Some exceptions apply for trees and perennial (non-turf) plants such as edible gardens or landscapes that are functional as well as aesthetic. At non-residential sites, 11 Packet Pg. 180

City of Palo Alto Page 14

functional turf (e.g., playing fields and golf courses) is exempt from these limits and non- functional turf cannot be irrigated at all, except to protect trees and perennial plants, or to address an immediate health and safety need. Additional water use restrictions include use of a hose without a nozzle or shut-off device and washing hardscapes except for health and safety reasons. In Palo Alto, restaurants are required to provide water only upon request and hotels and motels must provide guests with the option to opt-out of daily laundry services. Staff are collaborating with regional partners, such as Valley Water, BAWSCA, and Canopy, on outreach campaigns to share resources that help consumers conserve water while protecting the health of valuable landscapes and our urban canopy. Details, including designated watering days, are provided at cityofpaloalto.org/water.

Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) Update
On June 23, 2022, the City launched the internet services market research survey and Palo Alto Fiber deposit program. This survey is designed to learn more about internet preferences and service needs for the community. The responses will provide guidance to the City Council for decision making on services such as pricing and speed and to help determine next steps for the Palo Alto Fiber project. The new deposit program is one measure of many to gauge community support for the Palo Alto Fiber internet services effort. By submitting a $50 deposit for the Palo Alto Fiber effort, residents and businesses have the ability to demonstrate strong support to obtain locally controlled fiber internet services. As of July 28, the City received 3,281 completed survey responses and 694 deposits. The survey will be available tentatively through August to gather as many responses as possible. The City Council and Utilities Advisory Commission will host a joint study session on September 19, 2022 to review the survey results and FTTP financial models.

Sustainability and Climate Action Plan Progress
Staff continues to move forward efforts focused on the Sustainability and Climate Acton Plan (S/CAP) Update, including assessing and developing potential program options to spur heat pump water heater adoption. Program evaluation will consider issues related to grid impacts and permitting. Staff anticipate bringing program recommendations to Council in late September for consideration. Staff are also making progress on other key priorities including the Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment, implementing the updated tree ordinance, and supporting outreach during the drought.

Business Electrification Technical Assistance Program
The City will soon launch a new Business Electrification Technical Assistance Program. This program will offer free consultation and on-site assessment to all businesses to identify beneficial building electrification opportunities. Through work with the contractor, CLEAResult, the City will support the business’ electrification journey with contractor and equipment selection, and assistance with building permits and utility rebate applications. Staff anticipate a program rollout in August.

Page Mill Pastures
11 Packet Pg. 181

City of Palo Alto Page 15

Earlier this year, City staff began investigating the equestrian facility Page Mill Pastures for possible use of water, unmetered and unpaid for, from a City fire hydrant. The City requires that water use from hydrants be metered and paid for just like any other utility service. The City does not have record of Palo Alto Pastures renting a hydrant meter from the City or paying for water usage from a hydrant. Staff have been attempting to work with the property manager to address and resolve the situation. Palo Alto Pastures rents the land from Stanford, so staff have engaged Stanford real estate to assist in the efforts to resolve the situation. Investigation is ongoing and staff will keep the City Council apprised of the outcome.

Update on Engineering and Operations Projects
Electric Engineering is continuing to underground utilities in the Foothills to reduce fire risk. The Grid Modernization and Electrification study is in progress and is on track for completion in fall 2022. Advanced planning is occurring for expected rotation outage blocks in late summer due to systemwide shortages caused by the lack of reliable energy sources when renewables become unavailable. The Corte Madera Water Reservoir was replaced in April 2022. Staff will complete Phase 3 of the Cross Bore Inspection Project by March 2023, which is a critical safety program administered to ensure that there is no potential cross connection of natural gas pipelines or other utility within sewer laterals.

Outage Management System (OMS)
The City’s current electric outage management system, National Information Solutions Cooperative, Inc (NISC), was purchased in 2011. The system, which has not been upgraded, no longer meets staff and customer needs for quick and efficient outage updates. The City received two responses to an RFP and upon evaluation, a contract with Milsoft Solutions, Inc. is being recommended to Council at the September 12, 2022 meeting. Once implemented, the new OMS will substantially improve Utilities’ ability to notify customers and mobilize resources in response to electric outages and emergencies.

City of Palo Alto Page 1
Title: Adoption of Resolutions: (1) Placing a Business Tax on the November 2022 Ballot; (2) Placing a Measure Affirming the Natural Gas Utility Transfer on the November 2022 Ballot; and (3) Establishing Advisory Spending Guidelines for Business Tax Proceed s
From: City Manager
Lead Department: Administrative Services

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Adopt one of the two attached Resolutions to submit a measure to the voters at the general municipal election on November 8, 2022, to adopt a business tax – either Attachment A reflecting Council’s August 1st direction, or Attachment B, reflecting an alternative measure proposed by the Ad Hoc Committee;

2. Adopt the attached revised Resolution establishing advisory spending guidelines regarding use of business tax proceeds if passed by voters (Attachment C); and

3. Adopt the attached Resolution to submit a measure to the voters at the general municipal election on November 8, 2022, to affirm the natural gas utility transfer (Attachment D).

BACKGROUND
The Palo Alto City Council places a high value on fiscal sustainability and has worked diligently with City staff to put the City on strong fiscal footing into the future. The Fiscal Sustainability Workplan of 2019 (CMR 10267) outlines a number of City initiatives, including proactive funding contributions for the city’s long-term liabilities for both pension and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) which have already been implemented and strategies to structurally balance the General Fund’s revenue and expenditures on an ongoing basis.

The two revenue measures before Council are important elements in continuing progress towards long term sustainable budgets that meet the public’s evolving needs. A summary of the City’s work on revenue generating ballot measures can be found in CMR 13983, Attachment G.

The City Council met on June 20 and directed staff to return on August 1st with final documents to place the business tax measure on the November 2022 ballot.

Packet Pg. 186
AA2
City of Palo Alto Page 2
The Council established an ad hoc committee to be appointed by the Mayor to continue discussions with the business community on the tax structure. The ad hoc committee, consisting of Mayor Burt and Councilmembers Filseth and Dubois, met with representatives of the business community multiple times prior to and subsequent to the June 20 Council meeting as well as the August 1 City Council meeting.

Staff returned to the City Council on August 1, 2022 (CMR 14540) with draft language for 1) a business tax structured as a) Council directed on June 20, 2022 and b) a recommended alternative by the ad hoc committee, 2) a measure to affirm the natural gas general fund transfer for the November 2022 election, and 3) a resolution to establishing advisory spending guidelines for the use of business tax proceeds. The ad hoc committee August 1st alternative tax structure raised the square footage exemption from 5,000 square feet to 10,000 square feet and adjusted the monthly tax rate from $0.06 and $0.12 cents per square foot (depending on size) to a monthly rate of $0.10 per square foot for all non-exempt businesses above 10,000 square feet recognizing feedback from discussions with the business community.

The City Council directed staff to bring forth final documents to place a business tax on the November 2022 election and a resolution to establish advisory spending guidelines for use of business tax proceeds on the August 8, 2022 Consent Calendar pending any additional revisions through final discussions with the business community:

1. Revise business tax structure based on the alternative tax structure proposal of the ad hoc (CMR 14540, Attachment B) committee that adjusts the monthly rate to $0.11 per square foot (Attachment A);

2. Revise the resolutions to establish advisory spending guidelines to assume that the measure to affirm the natural gas general fund transfer not be placed on the November 2022 ballot (Attachment C).

In addition, the City Council directed staff to return to Council with a measure to affirm the natural gas general fund transfer.

DISCUSSION
Measure Adopting a Business Tax. Unlike most communities in California, Palo Alto does not require local businesses to contribute to city services and programs through a business tax.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Council discussed adding a business tax to enhance the City’s long-term fiscal sustainability and to help meet significant emerging public needs, particularly with respect to rail grade separations and affordable housing.

The Council considered various business tax models. On March 23, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency and sharp economic contraction, the City Council directed Packet Pg. 187
AA2
City of Palo Alto Page 3
staff to suspend work on the development of a local business tax measure for November 2020.

In August 2021 (CMR 12381), Council directed City staff to resume this work and designated the Finance Committee as the working body to review and make recommendations on a potential business tax for the November 2022 election. Taken together, over four years the Committee and City Council have met a total of 24 times to discuss the most appropriate manner of structuring a potential business tax, including refinement of the tax structure for fairness and equity, advisory spending guidelines for revenues, constituent surveys, and community and stakeholder engagement.

Final Tax Proposals
There are two proposed tax structures before the City Council as well as information regarding the discussions and proposal from the business community as submitted to the City Council ad hoc committee.

City Council August 1st Direction: The Council directed staff to revise the ad hoc committee’s business tax structure to adjust the monthly rate to $0.11 per square foot rate and return with final documents on August 8th. As a result of this change, the estimated revenue that would be generated by the tax would be approximately $17 million. That measure is before Council in Attachment A.

Ad hoc Committee Alternative: After discussion on Wednesday and Thursday (August 3rd and 4th), the Ad Hoc Committee recommends the revised tax in Attachment B for voter consideration.

A follow-up discussion with business representatives was held on Wednesday, August 3rd with minor administrative revisions proposed. On Thursday afternoon, August 4th, staff received from business representatives their final proposal to not actively oppose a tax structure; no meeting was held for further discussion. The business representatives’ proposal included the following terms:
• Monthly tax rate of $0.06/sq ft
• Exemption for the first 10,000 square feet
• $500,000 annual cap per business (fixed, no future adjustment for inflation) • Before and after spending reports on affordable housing, public safety, and transportation (the three areas identified as intended uses of tax proceeds).

Staff estimated that this proposal would generate approximately $5 million in annual revenue.

The ad hoc committee discussed this proposal and recommends that the City Council adopt the following tax structure:
• Monthly tax rate of $0.11/sq ft
o NEW: A provision for a $1 million cap on annual tax liability per business (adjusted annually by CPI)
• Square footage exemption for the first 10,000 square feet (in alignment with August 1 Council direction and proposal from the business coalition) Packet Pg. 188
AA2
City of Palo Alto Page 4
• Additional administrative clean-up provisions in response to feedback from the business community, additional detail below.

This ad hoc committee recommended alternative would generate estimated tax revenues of $16.5 million annually. Should the Council wish to place the modified tax structure that includes the $1 million business tax cap on the ballot for voter consideration, the Council would need to adopt the documents in Attachment B. The ordinance in Attachment B includes the input from business representatives received by the City on August 3rd described below.

Additional administrative adjustments. On Wednesday, August 3rd, business representatives suggested a number of changes to the ordinance. Staff agrees that some of the recommendations are reasonable and appropriate and have incorporated these changes into the ad hoc committee proposal at Attachment B. The changes are:
• In section 2.37.100, clarify that the Tax Administrator’s request for additional information be limited to information reasonably required to administer the tax. • Increase the time for lodging objections, filing appeals, requesting and setting hearings, and seeking a refund. Changes were made to section 2.37.150(b) and (c); section 1.27.160(a) and (b); 2.37.170(a) and (c); and section 2.37.190(c). • Decrease the time for the Tax Administrator to initiate audits. Changes were made to section 2.37.200(c), (d) and (e).

Further, business representatives asked that the City report the amount of tax generated each year and where it was spent. The City’s regular fiscal reporting and budgeting procedures include detailed annual information on anticipated and actual revenues by source, and the City’s budget, audited financials, and fiscal year close-out report include detailed information on anticipated and actual expenditures. Staff will ensure that information on business tax proceeds is clearly reflected in these documents as has been maintained as part of the reporting for recent increases in the transient occupancy tax rate.

Business representatives also inquired about audit procedures. In regulations that will be forthcoming, the Tax Administrator will describe steps and timelines for standard audits, so that businesses will be informed about the process. The City will maintain flexibility to adjust to circumstances outside of its control, such as an auditee who requires extended time to assemble and transmit needed records.

Measure Affirming the Natural Gas Utility Transfer. Palo Alto is fortunate to own and operate its own utilities. In 1950, Palo Alto voters approved a Charter provision authorizing the use of some utility rate revenues for City services. This was a common practice. California cities that started publicly-owned utilities in the post-war era typically set rates at reasonable levels and used some of the proceeds to fund city services. Over the ensuing decades, Palo Alto’s natural gas and electric utilities have transferred funds each year into the City’s general fund, providing a stable revenue source that supports a range of City services and community priorities, Packet Pg. 189
AA2
City of Palo Alto Page 5
including police protection, fire and emergency medical services, 911 response, parks, and roads.

In 2010, Californians adopted Proposition 26, which added new rules on how cities may set rates and charges for services, and how they may use the funds collected. The new law did not directly address utility rate transfers, and most California cities with public utilities continued their historic transfer practice. Since 2010, however, a series of court decisions raised questions about the transfers, and in 2015, a class action lawsuit, Green v. City of Palo Alto, was filed that claimed Palo Alto’s natural gas and electric transfers are unlawful under Proposition 26. In 2021, the Santa Clara Superior court held that the electric transfer is lawful and may continue.

The court also held, however, that a portion of the natural gas transfer is a tax that requires voter approval to continue. Both sides have appealed.

City leaders believe it is prudent to seek voter affirmation of the City’s long-standing practice of transferring some natural gas revenues into the general fund to maintain City services that are valued by the community. Voter affirmation of the City’s existing transfer practice will continue Palo Alto’s longstanding natural gas rate-setting practice and will not be the cause of a rate increase. The City’s current natural gas utility rates for residential customers remain below comparators such as PG&E. Additional information on gas rate comparisons can be found in the FY 2023 Gas Utility Financial Plan.

Consistent with responsible fiscal stewardship, the City has been reserving funds so that money is available to issue refunds to natural gas ratepayers at the appropriate time. Last year, the City cut services, in part due to the COVID-related economic contraction and in part due to setting aside the transfer funds instead of spending the funds on services as has been the practice for decades. Service cuts included firefighters, police officers, and librarians. Next year, the City will use one-time funds ($4 million) to partially restore services but if the existing transfer practice is not reaffirmed by the voters or other revenues, not currently assumed in the City’s Long Range Financial Forecast, are not identified to support restored services, ongoing service reductions will likely be required.

TIMELINE
The Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters (ROV) requires measure resolutions be submitted no later than August 12, 2022.

RESOURCE IMPACT
Ballot Measure Placement Resource Impact
The ROV estimates that placing two measures on the November 2022 election ballot will cost approximately $172,000, or $86,000 each. Total costs for the November 2022 election, including Councilmember elections, is estimated at $333,000. Appropriation for these funds is included in the FY 2023 Adopted Budget at the prior estimate of $320,000.

Ballot Measure Revenue Generation Resource Impact
Packet Pg. 190
AA2
City of Palo Alto Page 6
The local revenue generated by a potential ballot measure will be directly impacted by the structure and rates approved by the City Council as noted earlier in this report and each of the ballot questions that would be placed before the voters.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Feedback was solicited from the community and stakeholders in the form of an online and mail- in communitywide survey (433 respondents), six focus group sessions, a community listening session, city newsletter and blog posts, utility bill inserts, and three voter surveys. A landing page on the City’s website titled, Fiscal Sustainability: A Community Conversation, was also developed. Over the last week, City officials continued to actively engage with members of the business community who have articulated concerns, as described above.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This activity is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as defined in CEQA Guidelines, Section 15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. ..

A. Unlik
e most communities in California, the City of Palo Alto does not require local businesses to contribute to city services through a local business tax. As Palo Alto looks to the future, City leaders have determined that the time has come to seek voter approval to tax mid- sized and large businesses operating in the City, so that the business sector does its part to help the City to meet evolving challenges, including t he need for long term stable funding for public safety services and the need for significant investments in affordable housing and grade separated train crossings that maintain mobility for vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians.

B. A pro
posed ordinance attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Attachment “A” (the “Ordinance”) would amend the Palo Alto Municipal Code to add Chapter

The tax would be imposed at half the rate for the first two years . Annual adjustments would be made for inflation, limited to 5%. Grocery stores would be exempt, and offsets would be made for businesses that remit trans ient occupancy tax and for payers of discretionary sales and use tax. The business tax would terminate in thirty-five years.

C. Proceeds from the tax would be placed in the general fund for general governmental purposes. The City Council has approved advisory spending guidelines after considering input from residents and stakeholders on City spending priorities.

D. By
its Resolution No. 10045 the City Council called a general municipal election for November 8, 2022 (“Election”).

E. Pursuant to Government Code Section 53724 and Election Code Section 9222, the City Council desires to submit the Ordinance to the voters of the City.

R E C I T
A L S
A. Unlik
e most communities in California, the City of Palo Alto does not require local businesses to contribute to city services through a local business tax. As Palo Alto looks to the future, City leaders have determined that the time has come to seek voter approval to tax mid- sized and large businesses operating in the City, so that the business sector does its part to help the City to meet evolving challenges, including t he need for long term stable funding for public safety services and the need for significant investments in affordable housing and grade separated train crossings that maintain mobility for vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians.

B. A pro
posed ordinance attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Attachment “A” (the “Ordinance”) would amend the Palo Alto Municipal Code to add Chapter

The tax would be imposed at half the rate for the first two years . Annual adjustments would be made for inflation, limited to 5%. Grocery stores would be exempt, offsets would be made for businesses that remit transient occupancy tax and for payers of discretionary sales and use tax , and total tax would be capped at $1 million per year. The business tax would terminate in thirty- five years.

C. Proceeds from the tax would be placed in the general fund for general governmental purposes. The City Council has approved advisory spending guidelines after considering input from residents and stakeholders on City spending priorities.

D. By i
ts Resolution No. 10045 the City Council called a general municipal election for November 8, 2022 (“Election”).

E. Pursuant to Government Code Section 53724 and Election Code Section 9222, the City Council desires to submit the Ordinance to the voters of the City.

Resolution No. ____
Resolution of the Council of the City of Palo Alto
Adopting Advisory Spending Guidelines for Proceeds of a Business Tax to be Submitted to the Voters for Approval in November 2022

R E C I T A L S
A. The City of Palo Alto is a well-run municipality, with a Triple-A bond rating and a reputation for pro-active fiscal management, strong ongoing investments in public infrastructure, and conservative financial planning. However, the impacts of COVID-19, the subsequent economic downturn, and legal challenges to longstanding historic revenue sources have contributed to a projected budget gap in the City of Palo Alto’s general fund.

B. Unlike most communities in California, the City of Palo Alto does not require local businesses to contribute to city projects and services through a local business tax. As Palo Alto looks to the future, City leaders have determined that the time has come to seek voter approval to tax mid-sized and large businesses operating in the City as neighboring communities do. Diversifying revenues with contributions from business will ensure that businesses pay a fair share and contribute to services used by residents, visitors and workers in the community.

C. If a business tax is approved by voters, its proceeds will be placed in the City’s general fund for use on general government services. Council Members elected by the voters will determine the uses of those proceeds that best serve the public interest.

D. With this Resolution, the City Council informs voters of its intentions regarding the public services and programs that would be supported by business tax revenues.

Accordingly the Council of the City of Palo Alto RESOLVES as follows:

SECTION 1. This Resolution No. _____ updates and supersedes Resolution No. 10058, which is hereby repealed and shall be of no force or effect.

SECTION 2. Council hereby adopts the above Recitals as findings of the Council.

SECTION 3. It is the Council’s intention to use proceeds of a business tax—a general tax for general government uses—to fund services and programs that support safety and quality of life.

The Council approves the following advisory spending guidelines:

One-Third for Transportation and Safe Train Crossings. In the coming years, Palo Alto will need to need to invest substantial local funds in the improvement and safety of train crossings. CalTrain is electrifying and trains are increasing in number. To maintain traffic flow, bicycle and pedestrian mobility, and safety, the City’s four at-grade road crossings must be modified and separated from the train right-of-way. It is estimated that an average investment of $250 million will be needed for the improvements needed at each crossing. City funds will be used as matching funds to secure additional county, state, and federal funds for these investments in transportation infrastructure.

ATTACHMENT C c
Packet Pg. 230

NOT YET APPROVED
The Council plans to spend one-third of business tax proceeds on safe and efficient crossings for vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians.

One-Third for Housing Affordability and Services for the Unhoused. A balanced and healthy community welcomes families and individuals from all walks of life. In Palo Alto, significant investments are needed to bring housing costs into reach for many moderate earners who work in the City, such as teachers, public safety employees, and workers in the trades and service industries. With few affordable local housing options, these workers must travel long distances between home and work, contributing to green-house gas emissions and traffic congestion. In addition, longtime residents—especially those who rent—are at risk of losing housing and being forced to relocate to other communities or become unhoused. Those who are already living in the City without housing need financial support to transition to stable, safe and clean housing.

Substantial funding is needed to advance these goals. The Council plans to spend one-third of business tax proceeds on affordable housing and unhoused services.

One-Third for Public Safety. Rising costs and constrained revenues have limited the City’s ability to provide public safety services—including police, fire, 911, and emergency services—at the level desired by the community. Stable long-term revenues from a business tax will put these highly- valued City services on sound footing into the future. The Council plans to spend one-third of business tax proceeds on public safety.

SECTION 4. The Council finds that adoption of this Resolution is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act and, therefore, no environmental impact assessment is necessary.

Councilmember Stone asked about references in the City’s Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan) related to ‘naturally affordable’ or ‘affordable by design’ references in the Comp Plan.

Councilmember Stone further asked whether the map approval could be conditioned to require displacement assistance or additional affordability in the event of redevelopment, beyond the City’s existing BMR program.

This report contains relevant Comp Plan goals, policies, and programs and provides additional information related to displacement and affordability.

Relevant Comprehensive Plan/Housing Element Policies
Staff have looked through the Comp Plan to find any additional policies relevant to the Councilmember’s topic, those policies are summarized below:
• Land Use Element Policy L -2.7 states, “Support efforts to retain housing that is more affordable in existing neighborhoods, including a range of smaller housing types.” Related Program L2.7.1 states, “Review development standards to discourage the net loss of housing units.”
• Land Use Element Policy L -2.3 st ates, “As a key component of a diverse, inclusive community, allow and encourage a mix of housing types and sizes, integrated into neighborhoods and designed for greater affordability, particularly smaller housing types, such as studios, co -housing, cottag es, clustered housing, accessory dwelling units and senior housing.”
• Housing Element goal H1 for existing neighborhoods is to “Ensure the preservation of the unique character of residential neighborhoods” and the related policy is “Promote the rehabilitat ion of deteriorating or substandard residential properties using sustainable and energy conserving approaches.”
• Program H1.1.3, “Provide incentives to developers such as reduced fees and flexible development standards to encourage the preservation of exis ting rental cottages and duplexes currently located in the R -1 and R-2 residential areas”. The five -year objective is to provide 10 rental cottages and duplexes using the city housing fund. • Housing Element goal H3 is to “meet underserved housing needs an d provide community resources to support our neighborhoods. Related policies and programs are:
o Policy H3.1 is to “encourage, foster, and preserve diverse housing opportunities for very low-, low-, and moderate income households.”

o Policy H1.2 is to “Support efforts to preserve multifamily housing units in existing neighborhoods.”
Staff Analysis
The Comp Plan encourages the retention of housing that is affordable and housing that supports a diverse community; it celebrates a mix of housing types, including cottage and cluster housing, and seeks to encourage its retention through reduced fees and other development incentives. These policies could be interpreted as lending support toward an interest to retain the subject cottage cluster because of its unique housing layout and, arguably, increased affordability given it represents smaller, older housing stock that would not command the same rents as new construction.

Comp Plan policies are intended to be general and provide policy guidance. It is not uncommon for a project to comply with most policies and not others. When staff reviews a project for conformance, it considers the totality of the Comp Plan policies and implementing regulations.

The zoning code is the principal tool used to implement Comp Plan la nd use policies. There are no current zoning regulations or financial or development incentives that implement Comp Plan policies related to cottage clusters in the R -1 zoning district. The 2018 Housing Work Plan included exploration of this topic but other policy work received priority focus. Staff is including work on cottage clusters in the updated Housing Element but anticipates it would still be several years before policies are implemented.

Last year, staff met with the applicant’s representative to discuss development incentives that could be used to encourage the retention of the cottage clusters on the subject property. Use of the planned home zoning application was a consideration but the applicant was not sufficiently motivated in this regard and a short time later the City Council clarified that planned home zoning applications were not intended for the R-1 zoning district.

The applicant presented a pre -screening application to the City Council on October 25, 2021 to subdivide the property int o four lots generally reflecting the layout of the existing cottage clusters but also sought to develop each lot with a two -story building and accessory dwelling.

This would have resulted in four net new units, eight total units. The Council expressed some concern with this approach and the applicant subsequently filed the subject application to divide the lot in half.

Any redevelopment of the site must restore at least four units to remain in compliance with State law (SB 330). Even if the parcel map app lication were denied the property owner could still demolish the existing homes and replace it in the same configuration (building footprint, floor area, etc). While smaller, older housing units may demand less rent, delaying redevelopment without financia l or development incentives to retain and improve the condition of this housing typology may have down sides as well.

City of Palo Alto Page 4
When considering the findings required to approve the subdivision map and exceptions request, staff concludes that the project remains i n substantial compliance with the Comp Plan including some of the policies referenced above. However, the map and exception findings are subjective and a majority of Councilmembers could deny the project based on substantial evidence.

Displacement and Affordability
The Housing Crisis Act (SB 330) created a number of protections for low and very -low income households displaced by the redevelopment of residential rental properties. If a rental unit was actually rented by a low or very -low income household within the past five years, state law requires that the unit be replaced and offered at a rent affordable to such household. If the rental units were rented to higher -income households, however, these restrictions do not apply. T he applicant would need to provide the 5 -year rental history upon application for replacement units to determine if this is applicable.

Staff would need to carefully review any proposed, project -specific conditions relating to displacement and affordability. Project -specific conditions are likely to be closely scrutinized by a court for an “essential nexus” and “rough proportionality” to the impacts created by the project. This is a very difficult standard to meet. Therefore, if the Council is interested in imposing such conditions, staff would request additional time to study a specific proposal.
