PISMO BEACH COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Agenda Item #9.D
SUBJECT/TITLE:
FISCAL YEAR 2023 THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL STATUS REPORT
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive as information only. No actions are requested or recommended.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This report presents an update on the financial status of the City of Pismo Beach for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23, which ends on June 30, 2023. The report is based on actual revenues and expenditures for the first nine months of the fiscal year.
Overall, the City's financial position is stable, with sufficient fund balances. The projected unassigned fund balance for the General Fund at the end of FY 2023 is $10.39 million, representing an increase of $3.92 million from the previous fiscal year. This increase is primarily due to the projected net operating surplus of $4.77 million in FY 2023, which contributes to the ending unassigned fund balance.
For most of the City's other funds, revenues and expenditures are expected to remain on budget, and the projected ending fund balances are consistent with the FY 2023 Adopted Budget. All funds have sufficient balances and projected revenues to cover estimated expenditures.
The report includes a detailed analysis of the General Fund financial situation, followed by a summary and highlights of the City's other funds.
I. General Fund Budget Summary
To summarize, based on projections from the first nine months of the fiscal year, the General Fund is expected to end FY 2023 with a $10.39 million unassigned fund balance.
This represents an increase of $934 thousand compared to the FY 2023 Revised Budget.
The increase is due to projected expenditure savings of $2.43 million, and projected one- time revenues that are $47 thousand greater than the Revised Budget. This is offset by a decrease of $1.40 million in projected operating revenues compared to the Revised Budget, and a contribution of $140 thousand to Reserves.
The unassigned fund balance will be used to pay for future one-time investments outlined in the FY 2023 budget, the FY 2024 and FY 2025 Proposed Budgets, and the 10-year Capital Improvement Plan. Additionally, a portion of the unassigned fund balance may be allocated to pay for a portion of the Public Safety Facility, which would reduce ongoing borrowing costs.
Furthermore, the General Fund includes a Budget Stabilization Reserve set-aside of $2.00 million.

The following table is a summary of the FY 2022 actuals and the FY 2023 General Fund revised budget, projected actuals, and a variance comparing the budget to projected actuals.
Table 1: FY 2023 General Fund Budget Summary
II. General Fund Beginning Fund Balance
The General Fund beginning fund balance is comprised of two different components:
the unassigned fund balance, which are funds that are not committed for any specific purpose and could be used for various one-time projects, and the committed or carryforward fund balance, which are funds that are committed for a specific budgeted use.
As illustrated in the following table, the FY 2023 Adopted Budget General Fund beginning fund balance was projected to be $9.19 million. Based on changes during FY 2022 and carrying forward fund balance to cover previously budgeted but not-yet-spent expenditures, the fund balance is revised to $25.73 million. This includes $8.47 million of unassigned fund balance and $17.26 million of carryforward fund balances.

III. General Fund Reserve
The City maintains various General Fund reserves totaling $7.77 million for emergency operations, building depreciation, and risk management. These reserves are crucial in order to avoid disrupting the City’s operations following unanticipated events. The reserves are shown in the table below, followed by a summary of each reserve.

Reserve Amount ($ thousands)
General Fund 25% Reserve $7,022
City Building Reserve 500
Risk Management Reserve 250
Total $7,772
General Fund 25% Reserve
The City has adopted a fiscal policy to fund a General Fund Reserve of 25% of General Fund budgeted annual operating expenditures for FY 2023. The General Fund reserve should be equal to $7.16 million, which is 25% of the total FY 2023 budgeted annual operating expenditures of $28.65 million. Currently, the General Fund Reserve is $7.02 million, of which $7.01 million is invested in various securities and $7 thousand is pending investment. This reserve allows the City to maintain its operations for a few months in the event that an emergency or disaster impacts the City’s finances. The City Treasurer will be investing an additional $140 thousand to meet the 25% operating expenditure budget during FY 2023.
City Building Reserve
The Council created a City Building Reserve of $500 thousand, for the maintenance and upkeep of City facilities and buildings, particularly if funds are not available. This amount is equal to five years of annual depreciation on City-owned buildings. ($ thousands)

Risk Management Reserve
The City Council established a Risk Management Reserve, contributing $50 thousand each year to the budget for unanticipated risk management costs. This reserve has a balance of $250 thousand, which is the maximum contribution level.
IV. General Fund Revenues
The FY 2023 Revised Budget revenues total $32.69 million. FY 2023 projected actual revenues are $31.34 million, or $1.35 million less than budget. Compared to the previous year, FY 2023 projected actual revenues are $2.41 million, or 7.2% less than FY 2022.
This decrease over the prior year is largely due to a projected reduction of $1.55 million in Transient Occupancy Tax revenues compared to the previous fiscal year, and the one- time revenue of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 that was received in FY 2022 in the amount of $976,980. The table below summarizes the General Fund revenue budget and projected actual revenues for FY 2023, which is followed by a brief discussion of the top three FY 2023 projected actual sources of revenues.
Table 4: FY 2023 General Fund Revenue Budget and Projected Actuals
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenues are projected to be $1.53 million less than budget and are projected to be $1.55 million, or 9.1%, less than the previous year’s TOT revenues. TOT revenues are generated by charging 11% of the rent for all lodging businesses that provide occupancy for a period of 30 consecutive days or less. This decrease in TOT revenues reflects a significant drop in revenues received through the third quarter of FY 2023.

The decrease in TOT revenues can be attributed to double-digit declines in revenue from December 2022 through March 2023 compared to the same months in the previous fiscal year. This was largely due to the atmospheric river that caused flooding in California, resulting in fewer visitors to the beach. Additionally, the abundance of snow in the mountains served as an attractive alternative to visiting the beach. Staff projections indicate that there will be a further decrease of 10% in April and May, and a 5% reduction in June compared to the previous April through June in 2022. The following table and chart illustrate the actual TOT revenues received by month from July to March in FY 2023 and FY 2022, showing a decrease of 9.3% compared to the previous year.

Data obtained from Smith Travel Research Inc., a provider of competitive benchmarking, information services, and research to the hotel industry, indicates that the decrease in TOT revenues is largely due to a decrease in occupancy rates and room revenue. On average, occupancy rates decreased by 5.6% during the first nine months of FY 2023, compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year.
Additionally, the average daily rate decreased by 6.0% during the first nine months of FY 2023, compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year.
Based on these trends, staff projects that TOT revenues will reach $15.47 million, representing a $1.53 million shortfall from the budgeted amount, and a 9.1% decrease from the previous year's TOT revenues.
Property related tax revenues are projected to be $139 thousand greater than budget and $247 thousand, or 3.8%, greater than previous year’s property tax related revenues. There are two sources of property related tax revenues:
o Property Tax Assessed Value revenues: equivalent to 1% of assessed values o Property Tax In Lieu of Vehicle License Fees: 1% tax on the market value of a registered vehicle.
Assessed value cannot increase by more than 2.0% per year per Section 2 of Article XIIIA of the California Constitution. However, the San Luis Obispo County Auditor- Controller’s office is projecting assessed values to increase by 4.0%. This reflects supplemental assessments (new construction and change in ownership) and the recovery of Proposition 8 reductions which can increase assessed values over the
2.0% per year rate. About half of the Proposition 8 reductions remain to be recovered, which means property tax revenues should continue to increase above the 2.0% per year rate if property values continue to rise at their current pace.
Sales and Use Tax revenues are projected to be $152 thousand greater than budget and $286 thousand, or 7.0%, less than the prior year. Sales and use tax revenues are made up of two sources:
o Bradley-Burns uniform sales and use tax, which is a 1.0% tax on taxable sales within the City.
o Public safety tax, which is a 0.5% tax on taxable sales for specified public safety purposes.
FY 2023 sales tax revenues collected through April 2023 amount to $2,524,359 which is less than the year-ago total of $2,619,153 by $(94,795), or (3.62)% for the same reporting period. Sales tax revenues are typically received by the City 3 months after the month for which it was collected. The following chart illustrates sales tax revenues received in FY 2022 and FY 2023 by the month in which the sales tax was collected, showing a decrease of 3.62% compared to the previous year.
9.D-6Council Agenda 5-16-2023
Packet Page 28
Based on actual sales tax received to date, the Bradley-Burns uniform sales and use tax is expected to be $130 thousand greater than budget, but $291 thousand less than the prior year.
The public safety sales tax revenues are budgeted at $106 thousand in FY 2023 and are anticipated to be $129 thousand, or $23 thousand greater than budget. This FY 2023 projected amount is $5 thousand greater than the FY 2022 public safety sales tax revenues.
In summary, sales and use tax revenues are projected to be $152 thousand greater than budget and $286 thousand, or 7.0%, less than the prior year.
V. General Fund Expenditures
The FY 2023 Revised Budget expenditures total $46.96 million. Operating expenditures are projected to be $2.43 million less than the Revised Budget based on third quarter expenditures, largely due to not spending $961 thousand for the anticipated Public Safety Facility debt service that was budgeted as part of the Adopted Budget. This project has not yet started and the debt service will be budgeted if the project moves forward. One- time capital costs are projected to be $15.18 million less than the Revised Budget largely due to the timing of the two-year construction period of the Paving Project and other one- time projects.
Assuming consistent expenditure timing throughout the year, total operating expenditures for the third quarter should be approximately 75% of the budget. However, this year, only 63% of the operating budget has been spent in the first three quarters, while only 14% of the one-time capital expenditure budget has been spent. These one-time costs are dependent on the timing of the construction of the projects. The table below provides details of actuals as a percentage of budget by expenditure category, followed by explanations of the large variances from the 75% mark.

Table 6: FY 2023 General Fund Expenditure Budget and Projected Actuals
Some operating costs that do not reflect consistent monthly spending include:
Salaries & Wages and Benefits, which reflects that 65% was spent through the third quarter. Due to several vacancies, staff anticipates that projected actuals will result in $658 thousand in expenditure savings.
Professional Services, which reflects that 60% was spent through the third quarter.
These costs are based on the timing of work performed and are not set amounts per month. Staff projects savings of $214 thousand in this category. Contract Services, which reflects that 64% was spent through the third quarter, reflects a delay in payments, primarily for the Cal Fire contract. The State typically invoices the City in four quarterly installments. However, the invoices are typically sent months after the quarter ends. Staff projects savings of $305 thousand in this category. Operations & Maintenance, which reflects that 63% was spent through the third quarter, indicating a delay in payments and allocations. These costs are typically more consistent throughout the year and are projected to be $208 thousand less than budget.
Debt Service, which reflects that 41% was spent through the third quarter. The primary reason for this spending level compared to budget is that the budget included $961 thousand of debt service for the anticipated Public Safety Facility. Staff projects that all but the $961 thousand will be spent in FY 2023.
Other Expenses and Transfers Out, which reflect that only 58% of the budget has been spent through the third quarter, indicating a delay in payments and allocations.
These costs are typically more consistent throughout the year, where Other Expenses are projected to be $80 thousand greater than budget and Transfers Out are projected to be on budget.
Retiree Medical Insurance costs, which reflects that 33% of budget was spent through the third quarter. The monthly costs are payments to Retirees, but the majority of these A B C D = C/B E F = B - E

Administration/Vegetation Management
• Captain Byrnes and Michelle Pearson are geared up for the City Annual Weed Abatement Program. Notices have been sent in City Water Bills and Dennis and Michelle began their first inspections the last week of April. With all the rain Pismo Beach has gotten, we anticipate heavy growth and the need for multiple mowing. As the inspections are conducted, educating our residents on the need for the extra mowing will be top priority.
• The invasive French Broom (FB) removal behind City Hall continues. The canyon behind City Hall on the border of the Pismo Preserve was identified as having FB, this invasive shrub burns quickly and smothers out other native species from growing. It can double or triple the tons per acre of biomass causing large areas April 2023 Activity Report

to have dense buildup of dead material. Herbicide, crew work and burning are continuing in the Canyon to help keep this plant out of Pismo Beach and the Preserve.
• Contract crews continue working on the See Canyon shaded fuel break. This work will help provide control options for a fire coming out of the Irish Hills moving toward Avila and Shell Beach. It will also provide a much safer travel route for Fire Engines and residents who try to leave the area. This is a $200,000 Grant provided by the Fire Safe Council.
• Fire Department worked with County Parks to mow Cave Landing and Ontario Ridge. This work will help keep fires contained to the Cove area and reduce fire risk around the Critical Communication’s Site on the hilltop and the homes on Bluffs Dr & El Portal.
Lifeguards/Junior Lifeguard Program
• Our Pismo Beach USLA Certified Class began for our 3 new Rookie Lifeguards.
The Academy is 3 consecutive weekends (Fri/Sat/Sun) with an additional 2 weeks of Shadow Lifeguarding. This is the only Fire Department run USLA Class on the Central Coast and it adds additional medical and rescue modules that other programs do not have.

SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED
Assistant Engineer and Engineer receive general supervision from the Senior Engineer. Senior Engineer receives general supervision from the Director of Public Works/City Engineer. May exercise technical and functional direction over technical and clerical staff.
CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
Assistant Engineer: This is the entry-level class in the professional engineering series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents with basic engineering experience perform professional and technical engineering work in current and advanced engineering activities. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied and are performed with greater independence. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the Engineer level, but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods.
Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.
Engineer: This is the journey-level class in the professional engineering series. Incumbents are expected to perform the full range of professional and technical engineering work in all of the following areas: City capital improvement and other public works projects, land development, traffic engineering, public works infrastructure, and daily departmental operations, in addition to providing project management and administration. Positions at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit. This class may supervise the Assistant Engineer. This class is distinguished from the Senior Engineer in that the latter is the full supervisory-level class in the series and has ultimate responsibility for organizing, assigning, supervising, and reviewing all work of all staff involved in a major area of the Engineering Division.
Senior Engineer: This is the advanced journey-level class in the professional engineering series with responsibilities spanning the entire spectrum of the engineering function, with a primary emphasis on Council Agenda 5-16-2023 9.F-3

BACKGROUND:
Chapter 2.32 of the Pismo Beach Municipal Code empowers the City Manager, acting as the Director of Emergency Services, to proclaim the existence of a local emergency when the City is affected by an emergency and the City Council is not in session. An emergency exists when conditions are beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment, facilities, and existing laws of this City. The declaration is an acknowledgement of the need for additional resources and expedited procedures to deal with the emergency. The Director of Emergency Services’ declaration is subject to City Council ratification within seven days.
As required by the Emergency Declarations ratified by Resolution R-2023-001 on January 11, 2023, relating to winter storm damage, and by Resolution R-2017-012 on January 17, 2017, relating to winter storm damage, the following status report is provided for information purposes.
January 11, 2023 Proclamation: Winter Storms
The City Council declared a state of emergency on January 11, 2023, via Resolution R- 2023-001, ratifying the Emergency Services Director’s proclamation of a local emergency in response to the January 2023 winter storms. On January 9, 2023, the County of San Luis Obispo declared an emergency which was followed by a declaration by Governor Newsom for the region. On January 14, 2023 President Biden approved a major disaster declaration for the January storms, making federal disaster aid available. The storms, which began the first week of January, took a toll on the community, causing conditions of peril to the safety of persons and property due to flooding, bluff erosion, strong winds and other storm related damages.
Staff took immediate cleanup and protective measures of the sites where possible and has been working with FEMA through the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) for reimbursement for work and funds required to cleanup and secure the various sites. Staff attended a Recovery Scoping Meeting with FEMA on January 18, 2023. Sites that were submitted to FEMA/CalOES include:

Summary of Current Events
The storm drain failure at Cliff Avenue and Ocean Boulevard required a Phase II Environmental Study per Caltrans Local Assistance (LA) and the City’s environmental subconsultant. The Phase II Environmental Study fieldwork is complete and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) clearance has been provided. Caltrans LA has granted approval of a time extension and the authorization for the Right of Way (RW) phase of this project was approved on December 13, 2022. Staff has started working with Caltrans LA and the City’s design consultant, ENGEO on preparation of documents for RW authorization. RW impacts will likely include easement acquisition for installation of lateral reinforcement under adjacent private property and relocation of a PG&E utility pole.
Contracts were awarded by Council on December 21, 2021 to Granite Construction, Inc. and Cannon Associates for construction and construction management services for the Ocean Boulevard Improvement Project, respectively. Construction is ongoing and the project is anticipated to be complete in early Summer 2023.
A contract was awarded by Council on January 17, 2023 to American Enviro Services, Inc. for construction of the repair of the storm drain failure on the City’s outfall located adjacent to the Dolphin Bay Resort. Construction began April 17, 2023 and is in progress for completion by May 26, 2023.

Due to a California Superior Court Ruling in 2008, the rights to the Santa Maria Groundwater Basin (SMGB) have been adjudicated to various agencies. Part of that ruling established three management areas, including the Northern Cities Management Area (NCMA), Nipomo Mesa Management Area (NMMA) and the Santa Maria Valley Management Area (SMVMA). Further, the ruling mandated that “a monitoring program be established in each of the three Management Areas to collect and analyze data regarding water supply and demand conditions,” and an annual report be filed with the Court within 120 days after the end of each calendar year.
The NCMA is comprised of four agencies: the Cities of Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, and Pismo Beach, and the Oceano Community Services District. Through the NCMA Technical Group (TG), comprised of representatives from each agency, the member agencies work together to manage the SMGB and meet the annual reporting requirements of the Court Order.
The 2022 NCMA Annual Report, prepared by GSI Water Solutions, Inc. (GSI), was filed with the Court on April 28, 2023.
Discussion
The NCMA TG is facilitated by Water Systems Consulting, Inc. (WSC).
Together, the TG and WSC hired GSI to compile the data gathered during quarterly groundwater monitoring and to create the 2022 NCMA Annual Report. A copy of the full report is available for download from the Access Pismo1 public records portal or by scanning the QR Code to the right. A copy is also available upon request from the City Clerk’s Office.
The following list is a summary of the report’s highlights and important information:
1.Groundwater Conditions –During 2022, water elevations generally decreased in the NCMA portion of the Santa Maria Groundwater Basin (SMGB) in response to below-average rainfall in the last 3 years. The relatively minor decrease in water levels throughout most of the area, despite the below-average rainfall conditions, is less than would be expected given the recent rainfall patterns. That the impacts 1 Full URL:

are not greater is attributed to ongoing efforts by all NCMA agencies to minimize groundwater extraction and maximize surface water supply sources while maintaining the water conservation practices and requirements brought on by the current drought.
2. Ground Water Levels – The greatest threat to the groundwater supply in the area is seawater intrusion. An indicator of whether the NCMA agencies and other stakeholders are successfully averting the threat of seawater intrusion is the groundwater elevation in the NCMA sentry wells near the coastline. The average water elevations of three sentry wells—24B03, 30F03, and 30N02—make up a Deep Well Index. This index was developed by the NCMA in 2007 to gauge the ability of the aquifer to withhold potential landward migration of seawater. A Deep Well Index value above 7.5 feet North American Vertical Datum 1988 (NAVD 88)2 generally indicates that sufficient freshwater flow occurs from the east to the coastline to prevent seawater intrusion. History has shown that a prolonged period in which the Deep Well Index level is below 7.5 feet develops groundwater conditions that pose a risk of seawater intrusion. The following are evaluations of groundwater levels through the seasons in calendar year 2022.
Spring 2021 – In the mostly urbanized areas north of Arroyo Grande Creek, groundwater is extracted from the deep groundwater aquifers of the Paso Robles Formation and the Careaga Sand. The water elevation contours in the deep aquifer system in spring of 2022 generally showed a westerly to southwesterly groundwater flow. These groundwater flow gradients and positive (above 0.0 NAVD 88) groundwater elevations are developed and maintained primarily because the NCMA agencies have managed this portion of the basin through cooperative water management and conservation efforts. The proactive management of the basin and collaborative efforts by the agencies was necessary to respond to lower water levels in the Deep Well Index more than a decade ago.
The combined NCMA efforts are to ensure that fresh groundwater flow to the ocean continues to create a barrier to seawater intrusion. April 2022 groundwater elevations in the deep aquifer system main production zone along the coast ranged from 6.7 to 8.6 feet above 0.0 NAVD 88. In the southernmost portion of the area, the groundwater elevations, flow, and gradient are less well known because there are only a limited number of wells and point sources of water level data. The groundwater gradient and flow in this area are generally inferred on the basis of historical records and trends as well as water level data from the Nipomo Mesa Management Area (NMMA) farther east.
The Cienega Valley is in the central area of the NCMA, generally south of Arroyo Grande Creek. All known groundwater pumping in this area is from the relatively shallow (less than 100 feet deep) alluvial aquifer. Agricultural groundwater production typically results in seasonal drawdown of the alluvial aquifer in the
2 Note that 0.0 NAVD 88 is 2.72 feet lower than mean sea level (MSL) and is 0.08 feet above the mean lower low water (MLLW) (which can be thought of as the average height of the lowest tides), as recorded at the Port San Luis tide station datum ( https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/datums.html?id=9412110) .

valley. Historically, a portion of the recharge to the alluvial aquifer of the Cienega Valley came from the Paso Robles Formation aquifer on the Nipomo Mesa.
However, this recharge mechanism appears to be slowing due to declining water levels on the Nipomo Mesa. This reduction of subsurface inflow exacerbates the seasonal drawdown of the alluvial aquifer in the Cienega Valley. Groundwater elevations in the alluvial aquifer in the Cienega Valley were in the range of 5 feet to more than 30 feet above 0.0 NAVD 88 in spring 2022. These data show an overall increase in alluvial groundwater elevations from April 2021 to April 2022.
Fall 2022 – Groundwater elevations in the alluvial aquifer within the Cienega Valley in October 2022 were 0 to 15 feet lower than elevations at the start of the irrigation season in April 2022, which is a typical seasonal response to the irrigation season.
These conditions are consistent with the pumping depressions observed historically during the fall in the Cienega Valley. The alluvial groundwater elevation in the pumping depression in October 2022, at 4.3 feet below 0.0 NAVD 88, was
7.3 feet higher than in October 2021. October 2022 groundwater elevations in the deep aquifer system main production zone along the coast ranged from 3.4 to 7.0 feet above 0.0 NAVD 88.
Deep Wells – In 2022, the Deep Well Index started the year above the trigger value with an index value of 9.36 feet in January. The index value dropped below the
7.5-foot trigger value briefly in March and then again in April. The index value continued to fall to a low point of 4.4 feet in early September. Recovery occurred through the end of the year, reaching an index value above the 7.5-foot threshold by early December. The index value continued to rise through the end of the year and finished 2022 at about 9.5 feet above 0.0 NAVD 88.
NCMA/NMMA Boundary – The water elevation in the San Luis Obispo County monitoring well (Well 32C03), which was installed to monitor aquifer conditions along the NCMA/NMMA boundary, typically exhibits regular seasonal fluctuations.
In 2022, the water elevation in the well dipped below 0.0 NAVD 88 during the second and third quarters. This is similar to conditions in 2014 through 2016 when the water levels in the NCMA/NMMA boundary area typically dropped below 0.0 NAVD 88 in August and remained at a low elevation until early October.
3. Change in Groundwater Storage – The change in groundwater in storage in the NCMA portion of the SMRVGB between April 2021 and April 2022 is estimated by comparing water level contour maps created for these periods and calculating the volume change from April 2021 to April 2022. Separate estimates of change in groundwater in storage were computed for both the deep aquifer system and for the alluvial aquifer and then summed to represent the total NCMA estimated change in groundwater in storage. Comparison of April water levels was chosen
12.A-3Council Agenda 5-16-2023
Packet Page 91
to comply with the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) reporting requirements under the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA).3
An increase of groundwater in storage is a reflection of a net increase in water levels across the aquifer. During the period of April 2021 to April 2022, the NCMA portion of the SMRVGB experienced a net increase of groundwater in storage. The net increase in groundwater levels represented an increase of groundwater in storage from April 2021 to April 2022 of approximately 270 acre-feet (AF); that is, there was approximately 270 AF more groundwater stored in the NCMA portion of the SMRVGB in April 2022 than in April 2021.
4. Groundwater Quality – Analytical results of key water quality data (chloride, total dissolved solids [TDS], and sodium) in 2022 were generally consistent with historical concentrations and observed ranges of constituent concentrations. In general, no water quality results were observed that are a cause of concern.
5. Water Supply and Production/Deliveries
Urban Water Use – Urban water use in 2022 among the NCMA agencies was 5,471 AF, a significant decrease from 2021 and the lowest usage in at least the last 25 years. Urban water use in the past 18 years has ranged from 5,471 AF (2022) to 8,982 AF (2007). There has been an overall decline in urban production since 2007, although there have been slight increases since the low point in 2016.
The decline in pumpage since 2013 was in direct response to a statewide order by the governor to reduce the amount of water used in urban areas by 20 percent.
That goal was achieved locally by conservation activities implemented by the NCMA agencies, and the relatively low urban water use has been maintained since then.
Agricultural Water Use – Agricultural acreage in the NCMA portion of the SMRVGB has remained relatively constant for more than 20 years. Thus, the annual applied water requirement for agricultural irrigation has been relatively stable, although it varies with weather conditions. Acknowledging the variability resulting from weather conditions, agricultural applied water is not expected to change significantly given the relative stability of applied irrigation acreage and cropping patterns in the NCMA. Changes in rural domestic pumping have not been significant.
Total Water Use – Total water use in the NCMA in 2022 (including urban use by the NCMA agencies plus agricultural irrigation and private pumping by rural water users) was 8,165 AF. Of this amount, Lopez Lake deliveries were 2,936 AF, California State Water Project deliveries totaled 1,704 AF, and groundwater pumping from the NCMA portion of the SMRVGB accounted for approximately
3 On September 16, 2014, Governor Jerry Brown signed into law a three-bill legislative package, composed of Assembly Bill 1739 (Dickinson), Senate Bill (SB) 1168 (Pavley), and SB 1319 (Pavley), collectively known as the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA).

6. Threats to Water Supply – Total groundwater pumping (urban, agriculture, and rural domestic) from the SMRVGB in the NCMA was 3,523 AF in 2022, which is 37 percent of the court-accepted4 9,500 acre-feet per year (AFY) long-term safe yield of the NCMA portion of the SMRVGB.
When pumping is less than the safe yield of an aquifer, groundwater in storage should generally increase and result in rising groundwater levels. As such, groundwater elevations throughout the NCMA portion of the SMRVGB should rise significantly if several consecutive years of groundwater pumping occurs at 30 to 40 percent of the safe yield, which has been the case in the NCMA for the past decade. However, the data show that the aquifer is still in a tenuous position with respect to the threat of seawater intrusion. According to the DWR Bulletin 63-3 report, both the Paso Robles Formation aquifer and the lower confined portion of the Cienega Valley alluvial aquifer are recharged primarily from subsurface groundwater inflow from the east, where the overlying confining layers are thin to non-existent (DWR, 1970). These recharge areas to the east include inland
4 The calculated, consensus safe yield value of 9,500 AFY for the NCMA portion of the SMGB was formalized in the 2002 Settlement Agreement through affirmation of the 2002 Groundwater Management Agreement among the NCMA agencies, which is described in more detail in Section Error!

12.A-5Council Agenda 5-16-2023
Packet Page 93
reaches of Arroyo Grande Valley and portions of Nipomo Mesa (DWR, 1970). Any increase in regional pumping, or any other changes that reduce recharge from the east will leave the NCMA with a serious groundwater deficit that threatens seawater intrusion.
Historically, groundwater flowed from higher elevations inland westward towards the ocean, thereby acting to prevent seawater intrusion. As first recognized in 2008–2009, a well-documented pumping depression5 in the deep aquifer system near Black Lake Canyon within the NMMA appears to have reversed the groundwater gradient. The development of a landward gradient in the southern portion of the NCMA, caused by the pumping depression in the NMMA, likely reduces the historical recharge volume of subsurface inflow into the NCMA from Nipomo Mesa. This reduction of subsurface inflow to the NCMA creates conditions more likely to result in seawater intrusion in the NCMA and NMMA and it exacerbates the seasonal drawdown of the alluvial aquifer in the Cienega Valley.
Dwindling surface water supplies in Lopez Lake toward the end of 2022 were cause for significant concern. The Deep Well Index remained below the 7.5-foot trigger value for a majority of 2022. Had surface water supplies not been replenished by above average rainfall that began in December 2022, the NCMA agencies would have been forced to rely more heavily on groundwater production.
Even a moderate increase in groundwater production during a prolonged period of depressed groundwater levels (as indicated by the Deep Well Index) would greatly increase the risk of seawater intrusion.
During 2022, there were no indications of seawater intrusion. This is due in large part to water conservation measures enacted by the NCMA agencies. Urban water use in 2022 was the lowest it has been in at least the last 25 years.

PISMO BEACH COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Agenda Item #12.B
SUBJECT/TITLE:
UPDATE ON CAPITAL PROJECT TIMELINES
RECOMMENDATION:
No action recommended; for information only.
BACKGROUND:
The City's Engineering Division consists of five full-time staff members: the Director of Public Works/City Engineer, Senior Engineer, Engineer, Engineering Technician, and Management Analyst. Recently both the City’s Engineering Technician and Engineer who have both been with the City for more than 10 years have left to work at other local agencies. This has left a gap in the Engineering Division and reduced the ability to deliver projects in a way the Council has been accustomed to.
With only the Management Analyst, Senior Engineer, and Director of Public Works to deliver capital projects, perform inspections, perform plan reviews, and address the needs of the public, adjustments will need to be made to the project delivery schedule. Staff has given priority to projects currently under construction, or out to bid, however projects that are out to bid can still be delayed, should the City Council wish to advance other projects.
Projects Under Construction
2022-23 Paving Project – Staff is enlisting the help of consultants to perform nearly all of the project management function for this project. Completion of this project is anticipated in fall of 2024.
Ocean Boulevard Coastal Access Improvement Project – This project is nearly complete and staff has enlisted the help of consultants to close out the project. Completion of this project is anticipated in late June/early July 2023.
Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements Project – This project has been placed on hold until the Engineering Division is fully staffed.
Chapman Estate ADA Restroom Remodel & Addition – This project has been awarded, however construction has not yet begun. Staff has enlisted the help of consultants to perform project management for this project. Anticipated completion in late fall 2023 pending material lead times for doors and flooring.
North Shell Beach Road Storm Drain Repair – Due to the short construction time and complexity of the project, staff will continue to manage this project.
Projects in Design
Central Coast Blue – Due to the complexities and priority of this project, staff will continue to focus on this project.
12.B-1Council Agenda 5-16-2023
Packet Page 95
New Groundwater Production Well – The design portion of this project takes very little staff time, and the project will not be constructed until the Engineering Division is fully staffed.
Charles Street and Bello Street Reservoirs Improvement Project – This project has been put on hold until the Engineering Division is fully staffed.
Public Safety Facility – Due to the complexities and priority of the project, staff continues to focus on the design phase of this project, however staff is considering using consultants for the majority of the project management functions.
Police/Parking Annex Building – Staff is continuing to focus on this project during the design phase, however depending on the construction schedule staff may enlist consultants to manage the construction phase of the project. 330 Main Street – Staff is continuing to manage this project.
James Way Beautification Project – The design team is making final revisions to the plans and specifications and staff anticipates that the project will be ready to bid the first week of July. Staff does not have the capacity to complete this project concurrently with the other high priority projects. To keep this project moving forward, staff would need to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to procure a consultant to perform project management duties, or other projects will need to be delayed.
Chumash Park and Palisades Park – Bids for the construction of this project are due on May 19, 2023. Staff does not have the capacity to complete this project and the other high-priority projects. Staff can perform some of the project management for this project, however staff would not be able to work on other capital projects. As an option, the City could choose not to award a contract at this time, or as an alternative issue an RFP to procure a consultant to perform project management duties.
Spyglass Dog Park – Staff recommends putting this project on hold until the Engineering Division is fulling staffed.
Price Historical Park Event Green – Staff recommends putting this project on hold until the Engineering Division is fulling staffed.
Pier Avenue Stairs Closure – Staff has been informed by FEMA that removing the stairs now could jeopardize emergency funding. Therefore, staff has put this project on hold.
Hinds Avenue/Oceanview Avenue Pedestrian Path – Staff recommends putting this project on hold until the Engineering Division is fulling staffed.
Bello Street and Price Canyon Road Signal – The design of this project has minimal impact on staff time, staff recommends that this project continue as planned.
12.B-2Council Agenda 5-16-2023
Packet Page 96
Shell Beach Road Parking Lot – A draft report has been received on this project and staff is able to keep this project moving forward through the conceptual phase and does not anticipate the project being ready for construction before the division is fully staffed.
Addie Street Restroom Replacement – This project is still in the early design phase and should not be impacted by current staffing levels. Staff has met with a design consultant on site and is waiting on a cost proposal for restroom planning and complete plans, specifications and estimate package to get the project bid ready.
Cliff Avenue/Ocean Boulevard Strom Drain Repair – Staff is enlisting the help of consultants to work alongside the Engineering Management Analyst to continue to progress this project based on federal funding requirements and current level of design complete.
Chapman Estate Window Replacement – Staff recommends putting this project on hold until the Engineering Division is fulling staffed.
Toucan Terrace Sewer Trestle Rehabilitation – Staff recommends putting this project on hold until the Engineering Division is fulling staffed.
Bello Bridge Trail Continuation – Staff recommends putting this project on hold until the Engineering Division is fulling staffed.
Park Sign Replacement Project – Staff recommends putting this project on hold until the Engineering Division is fulling staffed.
Ventana Drive Tennis/Pickle Ball Courts Project – Staff recommends putting this project on hold until the Engineering Division is fulling staffed.

SUBJECT/TITLE:
DIRECTION ON DOG PARK LOCATION AND DEVELOPMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
Provide direction on:
1. Whether or not to schedule a hearing of the City Manager’s appeal of the Planning Commission’s decision denying a dog park project at Spyglass Park, and;
2. Whether or not the project will move forward through a different process considering different locations.
BACKGROUND:
On February 3, 2023, at the City Council’s annual goal-setting meeting, the Council affirmed its policy direction to develop a dog park at the site of a large grassy area at Spyglass Park. Staff developed a design for such an area and took it to the Planning Commission for approval of a Coastal Development Permit. At its March 28, 2023, meeting, the Planning Commission considered the item and directed staff to return at the next meeting with a resolution making findings for denial. At its April 25, 2023, meeting, the Planning Commission denied the Coastal Development Permit (Project P23-000017) on the basis that the proposed dog park was not a good fit for Spyglass Park, the proposed dog park would reduce parking availability for existing park uses, and it was not consistent with the surrounding neighborhood.
The Council had previously given staff direction to build the dog park and funded it in the existing budget. As a result, on May 5, 2023, consistent with prior direction, the City Manager appealed the Planning Commission’s decision to the City Council for its consideration at a future meeting. A copy of the appeal is provided as Attachment 1. This agenda item is not a hearing on this appeal.
At the City Council Meeting of May 2, 2023, the Council directed staff to place an item regarding the appeal processing and other locations for the proposed dog park on the next agenda for further discussion and direction. Staff is prepared to receive additional direction this evening.
Conclusion and Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council provide direction regarding whether to schedule a hearing of the appeal, and/or whether additional locations for the dog park should be considered.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact from this report. Should the Council direct staff to schedule this matter for a City Council hearing or for consideration by a subordinate body, the cost will be absorbed by the adopted budget.

SUBJECT/TITLE:
APPROVAL OF INTERIM CITY MANAGER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT WITH JORGE E. GARCIA
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an Interim City Manager Employment Agreement with Assistant City Manager Jorge E. Garcia.
BACKGROUND:
James R. Lewis has served as Pismo Beach’s City Manager since February 2013. In May 2023, Lewis indicated that he would be leaving Pismo Beach, to accept the City Manager position in Atascadero. The City Council will begin a recruitment process to select the new City Manager, which may take approximately three to six months to complete.
The Assistant City Manager, Jorge E. Garcia, was asked by the City Council to serve in an Interim City Manager capacity to keep the organization’s progress moving forward during the transition. Garcia has accepted the Interim City Manager assignment, subject to the terms of the attached agreement.
During his time as Interim City Manager, Garcia will assume the full duties and responsibilities of the City Manager position while retaining all of his regular Assistant City Manager duties. The attached Interim City Manager Agreement reflects a maximum term of six months for the interim assignment, and it includes a ten percent base salary increase over the regular Assistant City Manager salary as compensation for the additional City Manager duties, and no other additional benefits or compensation are being considered as part of the agreement.
Conclusion and Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Interim City Manager Employment Agreement with Jorge E. Garcia.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact as there is sufficient budget with the salary savings from the vacant City Manager position. The current monthly salary for the Assistant City Manager is $15,752. The proposed ten percent increase during the term of the agreement is for $1,575, for a total of $17,327 monthly, and would be adjusted for cost-of-living increases consistent with other management employees.
