ELECTION OF NOVEMBER 8, 2022 AND DELEGATING THE
AUTHORITY TO APPOINT THE CITY TREASURER TO THE CITY
MANAGER
SYNOPSIS
Pleasant Hill voters approved Measure M at the November 8, 2022 General Municipal Election, making the City Treasurer a position appointed by the City Council rather than an elected position. The Council now desires to delegate the authority to appoint the City Treasurer to the City Manager. Pleasant Hill Municipal Code Chapter 2.20 (City Treasurer) needs to be updated to reflect these changes.
DISCUSSION
Background
The City Council voted to place Measure M, “Shall the office of City Treasurer be appointive,” on the ballot for the November 8, 2022 General Municipal Election. The City Council adopted Resolution No. 108-22 declaring the official results of the election at which a majority of Pleasant Hill voters approved the measure, making the office of City Treasurer an appointed rather than an elected position, effective upon the expiration of the term in 2024.
Analysis
The proposed ordinance would amend Chapter 2.20 (City Treasurer) to state that the office of City Treasurer is appointed by the City Manager and remove the section regarding compensation for an elected city treasurer.

SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. ___-24 APPROVING THE CITY OF PLEASANT HILL INVESTMENT POLICY EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2024
AND DELEGATING INVESTMENT AUTHORITY TO THE CITY
TREASURER
SYNOPSIS
California state law requires the City Treasurer to render a statement of Investment Policy annually to the City Council at a public meeting and the City Council to annually delegate investment authority to the City Treasurer. The Budget Committee reviewed the investment policy at its meeting of April 23, 2024 and recommended approval to City Council. The City Treasurer recommends the Council adopt the proposed resolution approving the City of Pleasant Hill Investment Policy effective July 1, 2024 and delegating the investment authority to the City Treasurer.
DISCUSSION
Background
Government Code 53607 et seq. requires the City Treasurer to “render” annually to the legislative body of the local agency at a public meeting a statement of investment policy. The investment policy is intended as a guide with specific controls for safety, liquidity, and yields.
Analysis
In consultation with the City’s professional investment advisor, Kara Hooks - Chandler Asset Management, the City Treasurer and Finance Department reviewed the City’s investment policy to 1) confirm that it continues to comply with California Government Code, and 2) continues to provide strong safeguards over the City’s investment program. While the City’s investment policy continues to be robust, it is recommended that the City add additional protections recognized as industry best practices. The following are the main proposed changes in the attached Investment Policy:
• Delegation of Authority: It is recommended by the City California Government Code, Section 41006, in addition to 53607.
9.5 Packet Pg. 34
• Qualified Dealers: It is recommended the City update the list of institutions eligible to transact investment business with the City to match industry best practices. • Ethics and Conflicts of Interest: It is recommended the City include the requirement to comply with the Political Reform Act in the filing of Form 700s. • Authorized Investments: It is recommended the word “total” be added to issuer and sector limitations in order to consolidate the maximum to include both the investment portfolio and other accounts (example: LAIF or other LGIP). • Ineligible Investments: It is recommended the City incorporate the new prohibition from Senate Bill 1489. The purchase of a security with a forward settlement date exceeding 45 days from the time of investment is prohibited. It is also recommended to remove the Qualified Institutional Buyers definition as this can be determined outside an investment policy.
• Investment Pools/Mutual Funds: It is recommended the City seek responses to a set of eligibility questions from any pool or mutual fund utilized by the City. • Review of Investment Portfolio: It is recommended the City state the frequency the Treasurer will review the portfolio to ensure compliance with the investment policy. • Performance Evaluation: It is recommended the City include how the portfolio and benchmark is evaluated.
• Glossary: It is recommended the City only incorporate terminology used throughout the investment policy.

1 CITY OF PLEASANT HILL
INVESTMENT POLICY
Effective July 1, 2024
INTRODUCTION
The investment policy of the City of Pleasant Hill is based upon State of California Government Code (CGC), 53600 et seq. The primary goals of this policy are:
1. To ensure compliance with all State and Local laws governing the investment of monies in the custody of the City Treasurer.
2. To protect the principal monies entrusted to the City Treasurer.
3. To meet the daily cash flow demands of the City.
4. To generate the maximum amount of investment income within the parameters of prudent risk management.
The monies entrusted to the City Treasurer constitute the "Investment Portfolio" referred to in this document.
DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
In the City of Pleasant Hill, management responsibility for investments is herewith delegated to the City Treasurer pursuant to CGC, Sections 41006 for the City Treasurer and 53607 et seq. The Treasurer shall establish procedures for the operation of an investment program consistent with this investment policy and shall perform investment transactions. The Treasurer may retain the services of an external investment advisor, registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. These procedures will include reference to safekeeping, wire transfer agreements, banking service contracts and collateral/depository agreements. The Treasurer shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken.
The Treasurer shall appoint a Deputy City Treasurer who shall perform the Treasurer's duties in the absence of the Treasurer.
SCOPE
The Treasurer is responsible for investing the unexpended cash in the City Treasury.
This investment policy applies to the investment activities of the City of Pleasant Hill. The invested assets of the City, with the following three exceptions, shall be administered in accordance with the provisions of this policy and CGC Sections 53600 et seq. The exceptions are the Public Employees Retirement System and Deferred Compensation Funds, which are administered separately by trustees, and Bond proceeds which are invested according to the specifications of the bond indenture.

2 OBJECTIVES
Objectives have been set in order to achieve the goals of this investment policy. The primary objectives, in priority order, of the City of Pleasant Hill's investment policy are:
A. Safety of Principal
Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City of Pleasant Hill. With each investment transaction the Treasurer shall seek to ensure that capital losses are avoided, whether these losses are from securities default, broker-dealer default, or erosion of market value. The City shall seek to preserve principal by mitigating the two types of risk:
credit risk and market risk.
Further guidelines for safety of principal shall include:
1. Limiting the Portfolio's exposure to each issue and each issuer of debt.
2. Determining minimum credit requirements for firms that hold City monies.
B. Liquidity
The City of Pleasant Hill's investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet all operating requirements, which might be reasonably anticipated.
C. Return on Investment
Return on investment shall be an average market rate of return governed by the objectives of safety and liquidity in accord with prudent investment principles.
MATURITIES
Maturities shall be selected to anticipate cash needs, thereby eliminating the possibility of the need for forced investment liquidation. Cash flow estimates shall be prepared in a prudent manner.
The City will not invest in securities maturing more than five (5) years from the date of trade settlement, unless the City Council has granted authority to make such an investment.
QUALIFIED DEALERS
To the extent practicable, the Treasurer shall endeavor to complete investment transactions using a competitive bid process whenever possible. The City's Treasurer will determine which financial institutions are authorized to provide investment services to the City. It shall be the City's policy to purchase securities only from authorized institutions and firms.
Deleted: ¶
9.5.b
Packet Pg. 39
3 The Treasurer shall maintain procedures for establishing a list of authorized broker/dealers and financial institutions which are approved for investment purposes that are selected through a process of due diligence as determined by the City. Due inquiry shall determine whether such authorized broker/dealers, and the individuals covering the City are reputable and trustworthy, knowledgeable and experienced in Public Agency investing and able to meet all of their financial obligations. These institutions may include "primary" dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15c3-1 (uniform net capital rule).
In accordance with Section 53601.5, institutions eligible to transact investment business with the City include:
• Institutions licensed by the state and proof of FINRA certification as a brokerdealer, as defined in Section 25004 of the Corporations Code. • Institutions that are members of a federally regulated securities exchange. • Primary government dealers as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank and non-primary government dealers.
• Nationally or state-chartered banks.
• Savings or federal association (as defined in Section 5102 of the Financial Code).
• The Federal Reserve Bank.
• Direct issuers of securities eligible for purchase.
Selection of financial institutions and broker/dealers authorized to engage in transactions will be at the sole discretion of the City, except where the City utilizes an external investment adviser in which case the City may rely on the adviser for selection.
All financial institutions and securities dealers who desire to engage in investment transactions with the City of Pleasant Hill shall certify that the supervising officer has reviewed the City's investment policy and agrees to disclose potential conflicts or risks to public funds that might arise out of business transactions between the firm/depository and the City of Pleasant Hill. Employees of any financial institution offering securities or investments to the City of Pleasant Hill shall be trained in the precautions appropriate to public sector investments and shall be required to familiarize themselves with the City's Investment Policy.
The City shall at least annually send a copy of the current investment policy to all dealers approved to do business with the City. Confirmation of receipt of this policy shall be considered evidence that the dealer understands the City's investment policies, and intends to offer the City only appropriate investments.
Public deposits will be made only in qualified public depositories as established by State law. Deposits will be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or, to the extent the amount exceeds the insured maximum, will be collateralized in accordance with State law.
9.5.b
Packet Pg. 40
4 Selection of broker/dealers used by an external investment adviser retained by the City will be at the sole discretion of the adviser. Where possible, transactions with broker/dealers shall be selected on a competitive basis and their bid or offering prices shall be recorded. If there is no other readily available competitive offering, best efforts will be made to document quotations for comparable or alternative securities. When purchasing original issue instrumentality securities, no competitive offerings will be required as all dealers in the selling group offer those securities at the same original issue price.
DELIVERY, SAFEKEEPING OF SECURITIES, AND CUSTODY
To protect against potential losses by collapse of individual securities dealers, all securities owned by the City (including collateral on repurchase agreements), shall be held in the City's name in safekeeping by a third party custodian. Said trust department shall act as agent for the City of Pleasant Hill pursuant to a custody agreement between the bank and the City. All securities shall be received and delivered using standard delivery-versus-payment procedures. The Custodian shall provide safekeeping receipts of all securities held. A monthly report will be received by the City from the custodian listing all securities held in safekeeping with current market data and other information.
The only exceptions to the foregoing shall be depository accounts and securities purchases made with: (i) local government investment pools; (ii) time certificates of deposit, and, (iii) money market mutual funds, since these securities are not deliverable.
COLLATERALIZATION
Certificates of Deposit: The City shall require any commercial bank or savings and loan association to deposit eligible securities with an agency of a depository approved by the State Banking Department to secure any uninsured portion of a Non-Negotiable Certificate of Deposit. The value of eligible securities as defined pursuant to California Government Code, Section 53651, pledged against a Certificate of Deposit shall be equal to 150% of the face value of the CD if the securities are classified as mortgages and 110% of the face value of the CD for all other classes of security.
Collateralization of Bank Deposits: This is the process by which a bank or financial institution pledges securities, or other deposits for the purpose of securing repayment of deposited funds. The City shall require any bank or financial institution to comply with the collateralization criteria defined in California Government Code, Section 53651.
Repurchase Agreements: The City requires that Repurchase Agreements be collateralized only by securities authorized in accordance with California Government Code:
• The securities which collateralize the repurchase agreement shall be priced at Market Value, including any Accrued Interest plus a margin. The Market Value of the securities that underlie a repurchase agreement shall be valued at 102% or greater of the funds borrowed against those securities. • Financial institutions shall mark the value of the collateral to market at least monthly and increase or decrease the collateral to satisfy the ratio requirement
9.5.b
Packet Pg. 41
5 described above.
• The City shall receive monthly statements of collateral.
ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The Investment Officers, i.e., the City Treasurer and the Deputy City Treasurer, shall be governed by the "Code of Ethics" and the "Code of Professional Conduct" of the California Municipal Treasurers Association. The Investment Officers shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which would impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions.
All participants in the investment process are required to comply with terms of the Political Reform Act, Fair Political Practices Commission Regulations promulgated thereunder (2 C.C.R. §§ 18110 through 18998), the City’s Conflict of Interest Policy, including, without limitation, filing of Form 700, notification and recusal obligations, and CGC section 1090 prohibitions.
INTERNAL CONTROLS
The Treasurer is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the entity are protected from loss, theft or misuse.
The internal control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
PRUDENCE
Pursuant to CGC, Section 53600.3, all persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the City are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the "prudent investor standard", which states:
"... all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the Agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the Agency. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law." Officers acting in accordance with written procedures and the investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are Deleted: alifornia

RISK MANAGEMENT AND DIVERSIFICATION
Mitigating Credit Risk in the Portfolio
Credit risk is the risk that a security or a portfolio will lose some or all its value due to a real or perceived change in the ability of the issuer to repay its debt. The City will mitigate credit risk by adopting the following strategies:
• The diversification requirements included in the "Authorized Investments" section of this policy are designed to mitigate credit risk in the portfolio. • No more than 5% of the total portfolio may be deposited with or invested in securities issued by any single issuer unless otherwise specified in this policy.
• The City may elect to sell a security prior to its maturity and record a capital gain or loss in order to manage the quality, liquidity or yield of the portfolio in response to market conditions or City's risk preferences. • If a security owned by the City is downgraded to a level below the requirements of this policy, making the security ineligible for additional purchases, the following steps will be taken:
• Any actions taken related to the downgrade by the investment manager will be communicated to the City Treasurer in a timely manner. • If a decision is made to retain the security, the credit situation will be monitored and reported to the City Council.

12 level of interest rates. The City recognizes that, over time, longer-term portfolios have the potential to achieve higher returns. On the other hand, longer-term portfolios have higher volatility of return. The City will mitigate market risk by providing adequate liquidity for short-term cash needs, and by making longer-term investments only with funds that are not needed for current cash flow purposes.
The City further recognizes that certain types of securities, including variable rate securities, securities with principal paydowns prior to maturity, and securities with embedded options, will affect the market risk profile of the portfolio differently in different interest rate environments. The City, therefore, adopts the following strategies to control and mitigate its exposure to market risk:
• The City will maintain a minimum of six months of budgeted operating expenditures in short term investments to provide sufficient liquidity for expected disbursements.
• The maximum stated final maturity of individual securities in the portfolio will be five (5) years, except as otherwise stated in this policy. • The duration of the portfolio will generally be approximately equal to the duration (typically, plus or minus 20%) of a Market Benchmark, an index selected by the City based on the City's investment objectives, constraints and risk tolerances.
REPORTING
According to state law, the City Treasurer shall render an investment report no less than quarterly to the chief executive officer and the legislative body of the City.
REVIEW OF INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
The Treasurer shall periodically, but no less than quarterly, review the portfolio to identify investments that do not comply with this investment policy and establish protocols for reporting major and critical incidences of noncompliance to the City Council.
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
The investment portfolio shall be designed to attain a market-average rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City’s risk constraints, the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio, and state and local laws, ordinances or resolutions that restrict investments.
The Treasurer shall monitor and evaluate the portfolio’s performance relative to the chosen market benchmark(s), which will be included in the Treasurer’s quarterly report. The Treasurer shall select an appropriate, readily available index to use as a market benchmark. Benchmarks may change over time based on changes in market conditions or

Benchmark. A comparison security or portfolio. A performance benchmark is a partial market index, which reflects the mix of securities allowed under a specific investment policy.
Broker. A broker brings buyers and sellers together for a transaction for which the broker receives a commission. A broker does not sell securities from their own position.

1 CITY OF PLEASANT HILL
INVESTMENT POLICY
Effective July 1, 2024
INTRODUCTION
The investment policy of the City of Pleasant Hill is based upon State of California Government Code (CGC), 53600 et seq. The primary goals of this policy are:
1. To ensure compliance with all State and Local laws governing the investment of monies in the custody of the City Treasurer.
2. To protect the principal monies entrusted to the City Treasurer.
3. To meet the daily cash flow demands of the City.
4. To generate the maximum amount of investment income within the parameters of prudent risk management.
The monies entrusted to the City Treasurer constitute the "Investment Portfolio" referred to in this document.
DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
In the City of Pleasant Hill, management responsibility for investments is herewith delegated to the City Treasurer pursuant to CGC, Sections 41006 for the City Treasurer and 53607 et seq. The Treasurer shall establish procedures for the operation of an investment program consistent with this investment policy and shall perform investment transactions. The Treasurer may retain the services of an external investment advisor, registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. These procedures will include reference to safekeeping, wire transfer agreements, banking service contracts and collateral/depository agreements. The Treasurer shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken.
The Treasurer shall appoint a Deputy City Treasurer who shall perform the Treasurer's duties in the absence of the Treasurer.
SCOPE
The Treasurer is responsible for investing the unexpended cash in the City Treasury.
This investment policy applies to the investment activities of the City of Pleasant Hill. The invested assets of the City, with the following three exceptions, shall be administered in accordance with the provisions of this policy and CGC Sections 53600 et seq. The exceptions are the Public Employees Retirement System and Deferred Compensation Funds, which are administered separately by trustees, and Bond proceeds which are invested according to the specifications of the bond indenture.
9.5.c
Packet Pg. 56
2 OBJECTIVES
Objectives have been set in order to achieve the goals of this investment policy. The primary objectives, in priority order, of the City of Pleasant Hill's investment policy are:
A. Safety of Principal
Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City of Pleasant Hill. With each investment transaction the Treasurer shall seek to ensure that capital losses are avoided, whether these losses are from securities default, broker-dealer default, or erosion of market value. The City shall seek to preserve principle by mitigating the two types of risk:
credit risk and market risk.
Further guidelines for safety of principal shall include:
1. Limiting the Portfolio's exposure to each issue and each issuer of debt.
2. Determining minimum credit requirements for firms that hold City monies.
B. Liquidity
The City of Pleasant Hill's investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet all operating requirements, which might be reasonably anticipated.
C. Return on Investment
Return on investment shall be an average market rate of return governed by the objectives of safety and liquidity in accordance with prudent investment principles.
MATURITIES
Maturities shall be selected to anticipate cash needs, thereby eliminating the possibility of the need for forced investment liquidation. Cash flow estimates shall be prepared in a prudent manner.
The City will not invest in securities maturing more than five (5) years from the date of trade settlement, unless the City Council has granted authority to make such an investment.
QUALIFIED DEALERS
To the extent practicable, the Treasurer shall endeavor to complete investment transactions using a competitive bid process whenever possible. The City's Treasurer will determine which financial institutions are authorized to provide investment services to the City. It shall be the City's policy to purchase securities only from authorized institutions and firms.
9.5.c
Packet Pg. 57
3 The Treasurer shall maintain procedures for establishing a list of authorized broker/dealers and financial institutions which are approved for investment purposes that are selected through a process of due diligence as determined by the City. Due inquiry shall determine whether such authorized broker/dealers, and the individuals covering the City are reputable and trustworthy, knowledgeable and experienced in Public Agency investing and able to meet all of their financial obligations. These institutions may include "primary" dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15c3-1 (uniform net capital rule).
In accordance with Section 53601.5, institutions eligible to transact investment business with the City include:
• Institutions licensed by the state and proof of FINRA certification as a brokerdealer, as defined in Section 25004 of the Corporations Code. • Institutions that are members of a federally regulated securities exchange. • Primary government dealers as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank and non-primary government dealers.
• Nationally or state-chartered banks.
• Savings or federal association (as defined in Section 5102 of the Financial Code).
• The Federal Reserve Bank.
• Direct issuers of securities eligible for purchase.
Selection of financial institutions and broker/dealers authorized to engage in transactions will be at the sole discretion of the City, except where the City utilizes an external investment adviser in which case the City may rely on the adviser for selection.
All financial institutions and securities dealers who desire to engage in investment transactions with the City of Pleasant Hill shall certify that the supervising officer has reviewed the City's investment policy and agrees to disclose potential conflicts or risks to public funds that might arise out of business transactions between the firm/depository and the City of Pleasant Hill. Employees of any financial institution offering securities or investments to the City of Pleasant Hill shall be trained in the precautions appropriate to public sector investments and shall be required to familiarize themselves with the City's Investment Policy.
The City shall at least annually send a copy of the current investment policy to all dealers approved to do business with the City. Confirmation of receipt of this policy shall be considered evidence that the dealer understands the City's investment policies and intends to offer the City only appropriate investments.
Public deposits will be made only in qualified public depositories as established by State law. Deposits will be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or, to the extent the amount exceeds the insured maximum, will be collateralized in accordance with State law.
9.5.c
Packet Pg. 58
4 Selection of broker/dealers used by an external investment adviser retained by the City will be at the sole discretion of the adviser. Where possible, transactions with broker/dealers shall be selected on a competitive basis and their bid or offering prices shall be recorded. If there is no other readily available competitive offering, best efforts will be made to document quotations for comparable or alternative securities. When purchasing original issue instrumentality securities, no competitive offerings will be required as all dealers in the selling group offer those securities at the same original issue price.
DELIVERY, SAFEKEEPING OF SECURITIES, AND CUSTODY
To protect against potential losses by collapse of individual securities dealers, all securities owned by the City (including collateral on repurchase agreements), shall be held in the City's name in safekeeping by a third-party custodian. Said trust department shall act as agent for the City of Pleasant Hill pursuant to a custody agreement between the bank and the City. All securities shall be received and delivered using standard delivery-versus-payment procedures. The Custodian shall provide safekeeping receipts of all securities held. A monthly report will be received by the City from the custodian listing all securities held in safekeeping with current market data and other information.
The only exceptions to the foregoing shall be depository accounts and securities purchases made with: (i) local government investment pools; (ii) time certificates of deposit, and (iii) money market mutual funds, since these securities are not deliverable.
COLLATERALIZATION
Certificates of Deposit: The City shall require any commercial bank or savings and loan association to deposit eligible securities with an agency of a depository approved by the State Banking Department to secure any uninsured portion of a Non-Negotiable Certificate of Deposit. The value of eligible securities as defined pursuant to California Government Code, Section 53651, pledged against a Certificate of Deposit shall be equal to 150% of the face value of the CD if the securities are classified as mortgages and 110% of the face value of the CD for all other classes of security.
Collateralization of Bank Deposits: This is the process by which a bank or financial institution pledges securities, or other deposits for the purpose of securing repayment of deposited funds. The City shall require any bank or financial institution to comply with the collateralization criteria defined in California Government Code, Section 53651.
Repurchase Agreements: The City requires that Repurchase Agreements be collateralized only by securities authorized in accordance with California Government Code:
• The securities which collateralize the repurchase agreement shall be priced at Market Value, including any Accrued Interest plus a margin. The Market Value of the securities that underlie a repurchase agreement shall be valued at 102% or greater of the funds borrowed against those securities. • Financial institutions shall mark the value of the collateral to market at least monthly and increase or decrease the collateral to satisfy the ratio requirement described above.
9.5.c
Packet Pg. 59
5 • The City shall receive monthly statements of collateral.
ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The Investment Officers, i.e., the City Treasurer and the Deputy City Treasurer, shall be governed by the "Code of Ethics" and the "Code of Professional Conduct" of the California Municipal Treasurers Association. The Investment Officers shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which would impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions.
All participants in the investment process are required to comply with terms of the Political Reform Act, Fair Political Practices Commission Regulations promulgated thereunder (2 C.C.R. §§ 18110 through 18998), the City’s Conflict of Interest Policy, including, without limitation, filing of Form 700, notification, and recusal obligations, and CGC section 1090 prohibitions.
INTERNAL CONTROLS
The Treasurer is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the entity are protected from loss, theft or misuse.
The internal control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
PRUDENCE
Pursuant to CGC, Section 53600.3, all persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the City are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the "prudent investor standard", which states:
"... all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the Agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the Agency. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law." Officers acting in accordance with written procedures and the investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are
9.5.c
Packet Pg. 60
6 reported in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.
AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS
The City is governed by California Government Code, Sections 53600 et. seq. Within the context of these limitations, the City seeks to further restrict eligible investments to the guidelines listed below.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND DIVERSIFICATION
Mitigating Credit Risk in the Portfolio
Credit risk is the risk that a security or a portfolio will lose some or all its value due to a real or perceived change in the ability of the issuer to repay its debt. The City will mitigate credit risk by adopting the following strategies:
• The diversification requirements included in the "Authorized Investments" section of this policy are designed to mitigate credit risk in the portfolio. • No more than 5% of the total portfolio may be deposited with or invested in securities issued by any single issuer unless otherwise specified in this policy.
• The City may elect to sell a security prior to its maturity and record a capital gain or loss, in order to manage the quality, liquidity or yield of the portfolio in response to market conditions or City's risk preferences. • If a security owned by the City is downgraded to a level below the requirements of this policy, making the security ineligible for additional purchases, the following steps will be taken:
• Any actions taken related to the downgrade by the investment manager will be communicated to the City Treasurer in a timely manner. • If a decision is made to retain the security, the credit situation will be monitored and reported to the City Council.
9.5.c
Packet Pg. 66
12 Mitigating Market Risk in the Portfolio
Market risk is the risk that the portfolio value will fluctuate due to changes in the general level of interest rates. The City recognizes that, over time, longer-term portfolios have the potential to achieve higher returns. On the other hand, longer-term portfolios have higher volatility of return. The City will mitigate market risk by providing adequate liquidity for short-term cash needs, and by making longer-term investments only with funds that are not needed for current cash flow purposes.
The City further recognizes that certain types of securities, including variable rate securities, securities with principal paydowns prior to maturity, and securities with embedded options, will affect the market risk profile of the portfolio differently in different interest rate environments. The City, therefore, adopts the following strategies to control and mitigate its exposure to market risk:
• The City will maintain a minimum of six months of budgeted operating expenditures in short-term investments to provide sufficient liquidity for expected disbursements.
• The maximum stated final maturity of individual securities in the portfolio will be five (5) years, except as otherwise stated in this policy. • The duration of the portfolio will generally be approximately equal to the duration (typically, plus or minus 20%) of a Market Benchmark, an index selected by the City based on the City's investment objectives, constraints and risk tolerances.
REPORTING
According to state law, the City Treasurer shall render an investment report no less than quarterly to the chief executive officer and the legislative body of the City.
REVIEW OF INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
The Treasurer shall periodically, but no less than quarterly, review the portfolio to identify investments that do not comply with this investment policy and establish protocols for reporting major and critical incidences of noncompliance to the City Council.
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
The investment portfolio shall be designed to attain a market-average rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City’s risk constraints, the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio, and state and local laws, ordinances or resolutions that restrict investments.
The Treasurer shall monitor and evaluate the portfolio’s performance relative to the chosen market benchmark(s), which will be included in the Treasurer’s quarterly report. The
9.5.c
Packet Pg. 67
13 Treasurer shall select an appropriate, readily available index to use as a market benchmark. Benchmarks may change over time based on changes in market conditions or cash flow requirements.
POLICY REVIEW
This investment policy shall be reviewed by the City Council at least annually to ensure its consistency with the overall objectives of preservation of principal, liquidity, rate of return, and its relevance to current law and financial and economic trends. Amendments and modifications to the policy shall be accepted by the City Council prior to implementation.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: May 20, 2024
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. ___ - 24 AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO EXECUTE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH RRM DESIGN GROUP FOR PLANNING AND
BUILDING RELATED SERVICES FOR THE PERMIT READY
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT PROGRAM
SYNOPSIS
The City Manager requests the City Council’s authorization to execute a Professional Services Agreement with RRM Design Group (“the consultant”) to preform planning and building related services associated with the creation of a “Permit Ready Accessory Dwelling Unit Program” (“PRADU”). The consultant will work with the City to develop three unique pre-approved ADU plans for homeowners’ to utilize that will streamline Accessory Dwelling Unit (“ADU”) production within the City.
DISCUSSION
Background
The City is required to comply with the provisions of Assembly Bill 1332 (AB 1332), which requires local agencies to develop a program for the pre-approval of ADU plans to assist with the streamlined production of housing. The residents of the City are expected to be the primary beneficiaries of this action, making plans available for their use without the cost of preparation by a licensed professional. AB 1332 does not specify a minimum number of ADU plan types that must be made available; however, in the interest of providing variety and options, City staff is recommending three options be made available, all 800 square feet or less in size. The program must be adopted by January 1, 2025, pursuant to state law.
On March 26, 2024, the Budget Committee recommended the allocation of $75,000 through American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to pay for the preparation of at least three plan options for pre-approved ADU plans. At the time of the Budget Committee meeting, Staff had estimated the project cost based on research of neighboring jurisdictions with similar programs already in place. However, staff has since issued a Request for Proposals (RFP), and the responding proposal included a total project cost of $94,950, including a 10 percent contingency.
10.1 Packet Pg. 74
Analysis
Staff issued an RFP on April 1, 2024, seeking qualified firms for the following services:
• Creating construction-level permit drawings for approximately three unique detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) floor plans (studio, 1-bedroom, & 2-bedroom options), all 800 square feet or less, and with different architectural style options, to be made available for use by citizens seeking to construct an ADU on their property. • Plans must be designed to meet the current 2022 California Residential, Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical, Energy, Green Building, and Fire codes. • The City also requests that the proposal include the incremental cost for each additional ADU floor plan.
RRM Design Group submitted a project proposal for the City’s consideration by the required deadline. Staff has reviewed the proposal and determined that RRM Design Group is a qualified firm to complete the scope of work. RRM Design Group, which has been in business for more than 45 years, employs a team of architects, landscape architects, engineers, surveyors and planners. They have extensive experience working with public agencies on a variety of projects, including developing ADU plans for the cities of Dublin, Concord, Walnut Creek, and San Ramon (among others).
RRM Design Group proposes to provide three ADU options that will include varying design components that will offer nine total designs, from three layout options. In addition, the proposal includes providing structural, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical plans required for building permit issuance. The scope of work includes attendance at one public hearing, with an option for a second, if deemed necessary. Additionally, RRM proposes to complete the work within six months, meeting the January 1, 2025 timeframe.
FISCAL IMPACT
RRM Design Group’s total project cost is $94,950, which includes a 10 percent contingency of $8,400 and an optional public hearing if needed. The project will be funded through ARPA. There is approximately $351,000 in the ARPA Government Services Category that could be applied for this project, which is more than adequate to cover the scope of services.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made through posting the City Council agenda on the City’s official notice bulletin board, at the Pleasant Hill Senior Center, and at the Pleasant Hill Police Department. The agenda and staff report are posted on the City’s web page.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with RRM Design Group and reimburse costs with American Rescue Plan Act funds.

City of Pleasant Hill | Proposal FOR Permit-Ready Accessory Dwelling Unit Program 27
SCOPE OF SERVICES
ESTABLISH A STRONG FOUNDATION
In this project’s initial phase, the team will engage in a due diligence process to inform the team and key City staff on the primary issues to be addressed and to gather and review relevant data and background information.
TASK A.1: INITIATION MEETING
Following the review of existing data, the project team will meet with City staff to establish a mutual understanding of the key issues and goals, further define the scope and unit configuration, review and confirm the project schedule, layout of significant project milestones, meeting times, deliverable targets, and review pertinent data.
DELIVERABLES:
• One (1) meeting with City staff (virtual)
• One (1) meeting minutes
TASK A.2: DATA GATHERING AND DOCUMENT RESEARCH
As a first step in the process, the team will collect and review all data relevant from design guidelines, the general plan, the development code, specific plans, the local jurisdiction’s unique requirements, and other planning efforts that have a bearing on the communities. RRM will work with staff to compile a preliminary survey of existing City lots to identify the typical prevalent sizes and configurations. This informal review of lot stock helps guide design decisions to apply to as many locations as possible. Finally, RRM will prepare a program memo to document the project goals and alternatives the City wishes to achieve with the final designs.
DELIVERABLES:
• ADU due diligence memo
• One (1) meeting with City staff
ADU DESIGN
The baseline generic prototypes, which could be utilized as ADUs or standalone single-family dwellings designed to fit on generic flat lots, include the following:
• One (1) approximately 400-500 sf: Detached studio ADU in compliance with California Residential Code, not exceeding 16’ in height and designed to conform to a typical flat lot. • One (1) approximately 500 - 700 sf: Detached one-bedroom ADU in compliance with California Residential Code, not exceeding 16’ in height and designed to conform to a typical flat lot. • One (1) approximately 700 - 800 sf: Detached two-bedroom ADU in compliance with California Residential code, not exceeding 16’ in height and designed to conform to a typical flat lot Work Plan | SECTION 4
10.1.b
Packet Pg. 96
28 Each plan type will be designed to adapt to and include a total of three alternate exterior style treatments to conform to the City’s identified architectural vernacular.
Each of the three base plans may have design options, including ADA adaptable and fully accessible options, storage options, additional bedroom or flex space options, and multiple entry locations to allow personalization and site flexibility. This approach allows for the base plans to serve as many times as the number of designs.
TASK A.3: PRELIMINARY (30%) ADU DESIGN
RRM recognizes that residential design can be one of the purest manifestations of community character, and many people are passionate about homes. Therefore, RRM encourages a collaborative approach to working with staff to deliver designs that respond to the community’s unique character. Following the initial staff input in the tasks above, RRM will design a series of preliminary site plans/floor plans and elevations for the unit prototypes. We will review the designs with staff for comment and approval at approximately the 30% completion stage. The designs will include typical front elevation style options. Plans will be based on generic sites as directed by staff.
DELIVERABLES:
• PDF format submittal
• One (1) meeting with the City staff; a preliminary plan, massing, and elevation review meeting (virtual) • Preliminary site/floor plans for three (3) unit prototypes • Preliminary style options for front elevation of two (2) options per plan for a total of twelve (6) front elevations
MEETING:
• One (1) preliminary design (30% set) review meeting prior to the development of the final schematic design package for review and approval to proceed
TASK A.4: SCHEMATIC (65%) ADU DESIGN
Based on staff feedback on the preliminary design, RRM will refine the schematic design to an approximately 65% completion level for review by staff and any public outreach efforts. The submittal will be architecturespecific and for a non-specific generic site; no civil engineering or landscape architecture will be provided for review. At the end of this phase, all design work will be complete, and this is the opportunity for staff to share plans with stakeholders or policymakers for final revisions prior to permit plan preparation.
DELIVERABLES:
• PDF format 65% plan set
• Floor plans for three (3) ADU prototypes with design options • Sections for three (3) ADU prototypes
• Elevations for three (3) ADU prototypes; four (4) sides for each unit • Two (2) additional style options of the front elevations of each of the three (3) ADU base unit prototypes;
• Digital color and material boards; one (1) for each elevation style as printed images • Nine (9) 3D color-rendered front views suitable for publication SECTION 4 | Work Plan

ADU CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS
TASK A.6: DOCUMENT PREPARATION AND PLAN REVIEW
Our experience providing simple, cost-effective designs and plans complying with California Residential Code conventional construction requirements provides a strong base for further modification. A fully constructionready plan of conditions meets code requirements. All unit elevations are customizable to allow for variations in exterior materials and door and window fenestration to express individual owners’ tastes and community character. This will be achieved by stating the requirements of each exterior wall's minimum shear wall panel. Most interior walls will not be used for bearing, allowing further flexibility for the end user.
For construction cost, speed, and simplicity, designs are anticipated to utilize truss roof framing, but a stick frame option has been provided in the budget.
Our goal would be to express the design intent with a structural system that considers the most material and cost-efficient approach to provide a more implementable, affordable housing solution. This detailed review is typically only achievable with an in-house structural design team where all parties share a mutual goal.
Title 24 energy compliance will be designed for worst-case orientation. No mechanical and electrical engineering design is anticipated beyond typical line diagrams. Again, design efficiency will be a key mechanical and electrical design parameter. RRM is a leader in efficient, sustainable design. To this end, RRM will also provide an alternate specification to provide a higher level of sustainable design than the baseline code requirements provide.
We anticipate only one round of plan check revisions and resubmittal. RRM anticipates a single Citycoordinated review for all departments. The City will be responsible for the coordination of plan reviews.
As part of the construction document scope, an ADU application submission template will be developed to allow individual lot-specific submissions and alternate design submissions. The submission template will be developed using the City’s standard submittal process. Plans to be produced according to the following criteria:
Work Plan | SECTION 4

Discussions with the building official will be required to refine the approach for varying soil types. The design does not assume unstable soil or expansive clay soil:
a. Soil Bearing Pressure: 1,500 PSF (without Geotechnical Report) b. Lateral Bearing Pressure: 100 PCF
c. Foundation Depth Below Ground Surface: 18 inches min.
5. Fire Resistive Construction Details:
a. The proposed detached units should be anticipated to be located within four feet of a real or assumed property line on the rear or side elevation.
b. Therefore, for each of the proposed plan elevations, the rear and side elevations will be designed with options to comply with CRC Table R332.1 (1) Fire Resistance Protection/Rating of exterior Wall elements.

MANAGE THE PROJECT
TASK A.7: PROJECT MANAGEMENT/COORDINATION
The foundation of RRM’s practice relies on expert and proactive project management. Successfully accomplishing each unique assignment within the needed timeframe and allocated budget is essential. RRM focuses on capturing a clear direction on final deliverables and end products at the beginning of a project, establishing a shared understanding of the project with the City and all team members. This provides an essential project “road map,” RRM develops a critical path schedule, monitoring and updating it regularly throughout the process. We make it a practice to provide regular status reports of project progress and closely coordinate with the County’s project manager and key consultant team members. RRM considers close project team collaboration as a key mechanism to ensure issues are well-vetted and fully addressed because better projects result from multiple perspectives. In addition, all product deliverables are reviewed internally for quality control purposes before the County submittal.
RRM has found establishing mutually agreeable, timely turnaround review times in managing a schedule is helpful. One practical approach can be for the City to provide one redlined, marked-up version of comments from its staff so that all comments are reconciled and expedited in the revision process. Early consultation with affected agencies and stakeholders is vital for a smooth and efficient process.
These approaches reduce potential surprises that can add costs, cause delays, and dilute consensus. In addition, the performance of project managers is evaluated in several ways:
• Monthly review of compliance with project budgets by task by RRM management and principals. Our Deltek Vision project Management and accounting software also allow project managers and principals Work Plan | SECTION 4
10.1.b
Packet Pg. 100
32 to track daily time entries and task budgets
• Ongoing oversight by the principal-in-charge regarding contract and schedule adherence as well as overall project progress
• Periodically, report cards are provided to clients to solicit feedback on the project manager and overall project performance
• Annually, project managers are evaluated on the quality of their performance • Throughout the project process, client feedback is sought by both RRM project managers and contract personnel to ensure satisfaction and provide the opportunity for adjustment if needed We take project management seriously and are committed to delivering on time and on budget.
WORK PROGRAM ASSUMPTIONS
• Meeting notices: The City is responsible for printing and distributing physical meeting notices when needed. If requested, the costs of providing printing and/or distribution of meeting notices would be on SECTION 4 | Work Plan

Packet Pg. 101
City of Pleasant Hill | Proposal FOR Permit-Ready Accessory Dwelling Unit Program 33 a time and materials basis.
• Meeting attendance: The project budget does not include attendance at public meetings. The costs of additional meeting attendance would be on time and materials. In addition, meetings are assumed to be conducted using a virtual format.
• Draft documents: A draft of each document will be provided to staff and revised based on a single set of consolidated comments providing clear direction.
• Printing: This budget assumes the County will be responsible for printing and distributing documents • Environmental review. The scope of work requested does not include environmental documentation or clearance pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act. As such, environmental documentation and technical studies are not included in this work program. However, such documentation would be provided on a time and materials basis if requested.
• Ownership: Upon completion of the final plan review and delivery, the prototype plans will become the intellectual property of the county.
• Public Use: Upon final approval, an approved record set will be provided for county records as the Master Plan. Separate sets for public distribution will be provided with county logos and watermarked “APPROVED FOR USE IN PLEASANT HILL ONLY.”
• This proposal assumes the City will own and maintain the approved architect or engineer stamped originals, issue users unstamped copies, and require a hold harmless agreement to be signed by the end user. The wording suggested similar to ”By using these permit-ready accessory dwelling unit construction documents; the user agrees to release, hold harmless, and indemnify the City, its elected officials and employees, and the architect or engineer who prepared these construction documents from any claims, liabilities, suits, and demands on account of any injury, damage or loss to persons or property, including injury or death, or economic losses, arising out of the use of these construction documents.” Work Plan | SECTION 4

Provided, however, that in the event a Consultant becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the administering agency, the Consultant may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
The applicant further agrees that it will be bound by the above equal opportunity clause with respect to its own employment practices when it participates in federally assisted construction work: Provided, That if the applicant so participating is a State or local government, the above equal opportunity clause is not applicable to any agency, instrumentality or subdivision of such government which does not participate in work on or under the Agreement.

CITY OF PLEASANT HILL
PREMIT-READY ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT
PROGRAM
10.1.c
Packet Pg. 118
10.1.c
Packet Pg. 119
RE: Permit-Ready Accessory Dwelling Unit Program
Dear Ms. Croffoot,
The City of Pleasant Hill intends to implement a permit-ready accessory dwelling unit (ADU) program to aid in meeting local housing needs. ADUs represent a substantial opportunity to realize the City’s goals by providing diverse housing options to meet the needs of smaller households, young adults, seniors, persons with special needs, extended families, and lowerincome households. The City will be using the program to support the development of ADUs to provide more cost effective and streamlined access to the opportunities ADUs can provide for the community of Pleasant Hill. To that end, RRM is submitting a proposal for all sections of the scope within your Request for Proposal (RFP) for permit-ready ADU plans.
THE PROJECT TYPE AND THE COMMUNITY:
For 50 years, RRM’s architects, planners, urban designers, landscape architects, civil and structural engineers, and surveyors have worked extensively with public and private sector housing clients. We know what is feasible and understand the realities that can stymie housing production. Our experience on both sides of the counter gives us unique insight into potential barriers to adopting and successfully executing ADU construction documents that yield quality implementable housing. Leveraging our production housing experience, we can generate costeffective solutions while responding to the end user’s desire for customization opportunities.
RRM has planned and designed thousands of affordable ADU, multifamily, and mixed-use housing units in California. This unique combination allows us to create a permit-ready ADU program package that fits your community and has been truth-tested by architects and entitlement experts. While RRM has offices across the state, the pre-approved ADU project will be run from the San Leandro and San Luis Obispo offices.
LISTENING AND LOVE OF COLLABORATING:
RRM listens and responds collaboratively, employing various professionals’ skills and experience on each job with the assignment’s demands. We are devoted to community-based planning that engages the public meaningfully and produces a vision that will be embraced. RRM is a team of skilled professionals and creative thinkers who plan and design for implementation with impeccable attention to detail—on time, on budget, and sensitive to political and social issues.
PASSIONATE:
ADU prototypes, affordable housing, multifamily and mixed-use development, the development review process, and collaboration with City staff are the jobs that keep us inspired and excited.
RRM enjoys helping craft permit-ready ADU program packages. We understand and are fulfilled by efforts to curb the housing crisis and maintain a community’s integrity and character.
We appreciate the opportunity to help you achieve your goals. If you need more information, please feel free to call me any time at (805) 903-1227. At RRM, this job matters! We are eager to solve your challenges and ask for your confidence in awarding us this project.
Sincerely,
RRM Design Group

City of Pleasant Hill | Proposal FOR Permit -Rea dy Accessory Dwelling Unit Program 3 RRM has worked with the following public agencies in developing ADU plans:
SKILLS, ABILITY, AND EXPERIENCE
RRM's multidisciplinary team of professionals have worked on a variety of ADU plans for government municipalities, counties, and departments and we would be pleased to partner with the City of Pleasant Hill for the Permit-Ready Accessory Dwelling Unit Program.
• City of Agoura Hills
• City of Carpinteria
• City of Claremont
• City of Coachella
• City of Concord
• City of Dublin
• City of Jurupa Valley
• County of Mono
• City of Newport Beach
• City of Porterville

• County of Santa Cruz
• City of Stanford
• City of Walnut Creek
The following link will direct you to RRM’s ADU project experience examples (Construction Document Sets, Design Manuals, and Schematic Designs): https://tinyurl.com/yc2kyfsu RRM proposes to work with the City to develop a series of pre-approved prescriptive ADUs for homeowners to streamline the processing of utilizing those plans for their unique and individual needs. RRM will work with City staff to refine the program and scope for the proposed ADUs to provide the best fit for the City of Pleasant Hill. Discussions with staff and previous project experience suggest alternate or additional configurations that may better serve the community. RRM’s scope of services beginning on page 24 provides for possible alternatives which will be evaluated during the initial tasks of the project. RRM’s community-based design will help assure that these plans have elevation options that allow for personal taste and are appropriate to the community’s architectural vernacular.
RRM achieves a high project
efficiency and coordination level
due to the multidisciplinary service
structure. We provide implementable
solutions due to a single-line in-house
responsibility that allows the project
manager to coordinate most of the
components of a project directly.
While most of the primary scope
will be provided in-house by RRM
architecture, planning, and structural
engineering, there will be times
when outside consultants and City
coordination will be required. RRM
may need to coordinate and meet
with City staff, various departments,
and interest groups in addition to those specifically outlined in our scope.

The County of Dublin hired RRM Design Group to develop clearly defined objective design standards endorsed by the community and decision-makers that can be applied to multifamily and mixeduse residential projects. The intent of the project is to ensure that new residential development is compatible with the surrounding neighborhoods, that quality materials are used, that building form and scale are appropriate to the site, and that development complies with the intent of SB35 laws to facilitate and expedite construction of housing.
The final product will include clearly written standards with easy-touse graphics. Given the lack of large sites for new housing projects, the County is promoting the development of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). To assist in this effort, RRM is developing prototype plans including elevations,
floor plans for garage
conversion, and
building permit plans
for ADUs that will
save property owners
money, expedite the
permit process, and
help ensure welldesigned ADUs are

24 PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
The City of Pleasant Hill proposes encouraging ADU production to meet the goal of the general plan housing element and local housing needs by initiating a Pre-Reviewed Prototype ADU program. RRM’s extensive portfolio and expertise in ADU regulations, design and document production, architectural/ construction level permit-ready plans, and community engagement will provide an excellent foundation for making this vision a reality.
RRM understands the City is looking to develop a series of permit-ready housing plans to provide homeowners with a streamlined process that accommodates unique and individual needs. RRM’s history and expertise in production housing allow us to develop plans with various options, making a single plan customizable and functional in multiple situations. Based on the RFP outline, RRM will provide for the following designs to be refined during the initial due diligence portion of the design process:
• One (1) approximately 400-500 sf: Detached one-bedroom ADU in compliance with California Residential Code, not exceeding 16’ in height and designed to conform to a typical flat lot. • One (1) approximately 500-700 sf: Detached one-bedroom ADU in compliance with California Residential Code, not exceeding 16’ in height and designed to conform to a typical flat lot. • One (1) approximately 700-800 sf: Free-standing two-bedroom ADU in compliance with California Residential code, not exceeding 16’ in height and designed to conform to a typical flat lot Further review and refinement through the due diligence programming phase may alter the final unit makeup but can be accommodated in the proposed budget. Each plan type will be designed to adapt to and include a total of three alternate exterior style treatments to conform to the City’s identified architectural vernacular.
Each of the three base plans
may have design options,
including ADA adaptable and
fully accessible options, storage
options, additional bedroom
or flex space options, and
multiple entry locations to
allow personalization and site
flexibility. This approach allows
for the base plans to serve as
many times as the number of
designs.

City of Pleasant Hill | Proposal FOR Permit -Rea dy Accessory Dwelling Unit Program 25 One of RRM's core values involves promoting environmentally responsible models. To support that goal, RRM proposes to provide alternate specifications for sustainable design as a unique added value to the permit ready ADU designs. RRM places a high value on sustainable design and sees pre-approved ADUs as a vehicle to provide sustainable design options to the public at minimal upfront cost. RRM will provide material, mechanical, and fenestration specifications to provide more sustainable options at the homeowner’s discretion.
Our process includes a four-phase approach. As with any public project, the City is responsible to its citizens to spend money wisely and effectively. This is the problem that an initial due diligence or programming phase can address. We are looking to identify the greatest opportunity to impact housing stock through a pre-approved ADU program for this project. Starting with the kickoff meeting, the City will be a partner in formulating the best solution to address the goals unique to your area. The success of this program will not come from the plan set product but will be founded on crafting context-appropriate designs and then facilitating implementation. RRM’s community-based design will help ensure that these plans have elevation options that allow for personal taste and are appropriate to the community’s identified architectural vernacular. Identifying the correct designs for Pleasant Hill will come through RRM’s collaboration with City staff.
Coupled with an inventory of appropriate prevalent styles in the community, these outcomes will inform the second phase’s building block: design. We understand that residential design can be one of the purest manifestations of community character; many people are passionate about homes. This is where our collaborative approach to design results in successful outcomes. Building from RRM’s production housing experience, we will develop designs with options to help provide the greatest variety of plans founded on the base project program. RRM will collaborate with the staff and building departments in the early phase to create efficient, implementable designs that fit the Permit-Ready process’s goals.
In the third phase, RRM will work with City staff and building officials to generate complete permit-ready plan prototypes, providing a wide variety of options for each homeowner to implement on their unique site. Before implementation, we see the permit-ready ADU plan preparation as the phase where our multidisciplinary practice provides the most significant impact. In-house structural engineering allows us to focus on design development with an eye toward efficient, low-cost construction, which will be of fundamental value to the end user. RRM has extensive experience in affordable and production housing, which helps us focus on efficient, implementable solutions.
This leads us to the final component of the project: implementation. Getting the plans off the shelf and into the community is truly the end goal for a project like this. RRM’s experience on both sides of the counter will provide a solid basis for presenting information and how that information is perceived and used by private citizens.
We embrace a collaborative approach to design and look forward to working with City Staff to define and develop plans that are user-friendly for all involved.

26 SUSTAINABILITY
RRM believes that environmental stewardship is critical to formulating standard ADU plans that will be widely used across the region, with a lasting impact on the city’s growth pattern and housing affordability.
In support of promoting sustainable design options, RRM is proposing to include alternative sustainable design specifications that end users may alternatively utilize when building their ADU. Areas of input are expected to include the following.
• We will select materials with a low carbon footprint and provide carbon data to highlight the difference between these materials and the industry average. Using the CLF benchmark, the embodied carbon benchmark study for North American Buildings, we can provide a list of materials that target a 30% embodied carbon improvement from the industry baseline. • Providing carbon benchmark data enables homeowners, builders, and policymakers to quantify their project's environmental impact. With the list of recommended materials, homeowners can have the flexibility to choose cost-effective, environmentally responsible solutions. • For example, the typical CLF benchmark for dimensional lumber is 100 kg CO2e per meter cubed. This value can be reduced by as much as 37% to 63 kg CO2e per meter cubed by simply selecting more responsibly sourced lumber. Over time, this can have a massive effect on the total carbon footprint of our community and allows homeowners to make a large impact on an individual basis.
• In addition to reducing the carbon footprint, we will select energy-efficient HVAC systems that reduce overall energy use. We will also provide recommendations for smart electrical systems to help reduce the electrical load when the space is not occupied.
• Lastly, we will offer site orientation recommendations for building and window placement to encourage passive design when possible. An example of this includes offering guidelines for window awning size based on solar orientation to minimize heat gain in the summer and maximize daylight.
RRM holds sustainable design as a key value and sees a pre-approved ADU program as a perfect venue to bring these options to the public at a minimal cost impact.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: May 20, 2024
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. ___-24 APPROVING THE LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024/2025 THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 2028/2029
SYNOPSIS
When the City Council updated its goals in September 2013, it adopted the objective to “establish a long-term financial plan” as part of the goal of a “City that is financially sound.” The City published its first long-term financial plan (LTFP) in August 2015. This Long-Term Financial Plan for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 through Fiscal Year 2028/2029 is the City’s third LTFP.
DISCUSSION
Background
The purpose of the LTFP is to create awareness regarding the financial challenges and opportunities that the City could possibly face and to inform the City’s financial and operational decision-making, in order to account for such possibilities.
Analysis
The City’s LTFP for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 through Fiscal Year 2028/2029 addresses the revenues and expenditures for the General Fund over a five-year period and has 10 years of historical information.
Based on the direction received from the Budget Committee on February 21, 2024, staff has prepared a Long Term Financial Plan for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/2025 through FY 2028/2029.
In previous years the LTFP was done along with the Biennial Budget. This year, staff is preparing the LTFP sooner, so that this document can be used as a planning document to assist and inform decision makers with goal setting and/or to assess financial challenges as they prepare the upcoming budget. The LTFP uses the Fiscal Year 2023/2024 Budget as the base line and then incorporates the approved assumptions, so staff could provide this information sooner to the Budget Committee and City Council. At its meeting of April 20, 2024, the Budget Committee approved the draft LTFP and forwarded it to the City Council with recommendation to approve.
10.2 Packet Pg. 154
The financial challenge the City continues to face is unfunded pension liabilities. The City has taken steps to address this challenge by adopting a Section 115 Trust, making an initial contribution of $1 million, and approving a funding policy to make additional contributions in fiscal years when General Fund revenue exceeds expenditures. This pension savings account will grow over time, unless the City Council provides direction to spend it sooner. In the previous Adopted LTFP FY 2018/2019 - FY 2023 and FY 2022/23 - FY2023/2024 Biennial Budget, this has been and continues to be the City’s largest liability and the reason for growing annual deficits. The City has been financially prudent by setting up pension savings accounts and agreeing to reasonable labor increases. Also, the City has been able to offset the budget deficits due to economic improvement from sales tax revenues, federal funding from the pandemic, and staffing vacancies due to retirements. Unfortunately, the financial challenge based on the assumptions is that the deficit continues to grow from $2.3 million to $3.8 million from FY 2024/2025 to FY 2028/2029 (see Executive Summary pp.1-2).
The following table illustrates the issue of the growing unfunded pension liability (see Summary and Next Steps p.39). Also, staff has provided the forecast using CalPERS pension tool to show the next 15 fiscal years (see p.24), and material reduction in this payment is not expected to occur until FY 2037/2038. This table also shows General Fund revenue and expenditures before the pension liability payments and the impact afterwards:

The main change is a decrease in expenditures due to salary savings in the City Manager’s Office ($0.3 million) and Police Department ($0.6 million). The summary table is shown below and in the LTFP (see p.39):

City of Pleasant Hill Long-Term Financial Plan Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Through 2028/2029 1 Executive Summary
Introduction
The Long-Term Financial Plan (LTFP) for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 through Fiscal Year 2028/2029 forecasts the City’s revenues, expenditures, and resulting fund balance for the General Fund (not including Measure K) over a five-year planning period. The LTFP is not intended to predict the future, but rather to create awareness regarding financial challenges and opportunities that the City could possibly face and inform the City’s financial and operational decision making to account for such possibilities.
Economic Scenarios, Status Quo, and “Preferred” Service Levels The LTFP forecasts the City’s revenues based on existing revenue mechanisms and expenditures based on current (“status quo”) service and staffing levels in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023/2024 Budget. If the City maintains current service levels and experiences moderate economic conditions for revenues and expenditures, the City forecasts deficits for FY 2024/2025 through FY 2028/2029, if no corrective steps are taken, as shown in Table 1 below.
Table 1: Status Quo Service Level Scenario Forecast
Financial Challenges
The City’s General Fund has maintained a balanced budget over the last couple of fiscal years and the fund balance has grown to nearly $13.8 million through economic improvement, one-time federal funding due to the COVID pandemic, and salary savings from vacancies with the retirements of long tenured staff. Also, the City Council approved a pension trust in May 2022, by contributing $1.0 million of the General Fund reserve to assist with future pension liabilities and established a Pension Rate Stabilization Funding Policy to provide additional funds when revenue exceeds expense.
Even with these positive steps, the unfunded pension liability continues to increase at a much faster pace than the assumed revenue growth. The unfunded pension expense for FY 2023/2024 is $3.87 million and is estimated to increase to over $6.00 million in FY 2028/2029.
Here are some of the critical challenges the City is facing over the next several years:
1. Revenue Growth
a. The City is highly reliant on sales tax revenue, which makes up approximately 34%-35% of General Fund revenue and has had historic growth in the last couple of fiscal years. The estimate for FY 2023/2024 sales tax revenue is currently $10.6 million, and less than the previous two fiscal years, which was slightly over or near $11.0 million. The leveling off in sales tax revenue was to be expected as consumers were purchasing more goods online and new vehicles at higher levels due to the pandemic and the supply chain shortage. Also, the City lost

City of Pleasant Hill Long-Term Financial Plan Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Through 2028/2029 2 a couple large brick and mortar retailers recently as new tenants are being sought. Overall, sales tax revenue is estimated to grow between 2.5% to 3.0% annually, as these locations will eventually be filled and consumers continue to purchase goods. b. Property tax revenue is historically a stable revenue source and has grown an average of 6% annually due to rising home values and inflation (Proposition 218 caps inflation growth at 2%).
This is the City’s second highest revenue source and is approximately 28%-30% of the General Fund. Property tax is expected to grow between 3.5% to 4.5% annually with the sale of homes and higher inflation. This is less than the previous average as interest rates is higher on homes loans causing fewer home sales and the City has recaptured most of the revenue due to changes in assessed valuation during the Great Recession.
2. Unfunded Pension Liability
a. The City provides a pension benefit to current employees and retirees based on years of service.
The benefit payments along with the assumptions and contributions are determined by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS). The City has and continues to make the required annual contributions to CalPERS for this liability based on their investment returns and assumption changes. The City has minimal control over CalPERS and any significant changes would require the majority of the State Legislature to pass new legislation. Chart 1 below shows the CalPERS unfunded liability pension payments based on their current actuarial valuations.
These payments will continue to rise, until FY 2031/2032, and then level off based on their current assumptions and will not significantly decrease until FY 2037/2038.
Chart 1: Unfunded Pension Liability
Summary and Next Steps
The City has been on solid budgetary footing, but unless the economic cycle is better than assumed, the projected pension cost increases are not sustainable without corrective action. City staff intends to update the LTFP during FY 2024/2025 after the adoption of the Biennial Budget. In the future, the LTFP will be updated every off-budget year, so this information is available to the City Council, public, and staff prior to the preparation of the next Biennial Budget.

City of Pleasant Hill Long-Term Financial Plan Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Through 2028/2029 3 History
Introduction
When the City Council created its goals for Fiscal Years 2013/2014, 2014/2015, and 2015/2016 in September 2013, it adopted the objective to “establish a long-termfinancial plan” as part of the goal of “a City that is financially sound.” The City published its first LTFP in August 2015, and envisioned creating updated LTFPsthereafter on a periodic basis.
Purpose
The purpose of the LTFP is to create awareness regarding financial challenges and opportunities the City could possibly face and inform the City’s financial and operational decision making to account for such possibilities.
Scope
The City of Pleasant Hill Long-Term Financial Plan for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 through Fiscal Year 2028/2029 addresses the revenues and expenditures of the City’s General Fund over a five-year planning period.
Development Process
The City’s first LTFP and this one was created using public finance best practices. Best practices are well summarized in the key publication on municipal long-term financial planning, the Government Finance Officers Association’s (GFOA) Financing the Future: Long-Term Financial Planning for Local Government.
GFOA, one of the leading professional associations in the public finance field, defines financial forecasting and long-term financial planning as follows:
■ Financial forecasting is the process of projecting revenues and expenditures over a long-term period, using assumptions about economic conditions, future spending scenarios, and other salient variables.
■ Long-term financial planning is the process of aligning financial capacity with long-term service objectives. Financial planning uses forecasts to provide insight into future financial capacity so that strategies can be developed to achieve long-termsustainability in light of the government’s service objectives and financial challenges.
The main tasks required to create the LTFP were the following:
■ Review best practices, the work of peer jurisdictions, and academic and professional materials on the topic;
■ Review the City’s past forecasting work;
■ Analyze the economic environment to identify the major financial and operational challenges and opportunities that the City might face over the coming years;
10.2.b
Packet Pg. 166
City of Pleasant Hill Long-Term Financial Plan Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Through 2028/2029 4 ■ Forecast revenues and expenditures for different economic scenarios; ■ Identify policy alternatives, including changes to revenue sources and expenditures, that the City could use to rebalance its budget if needed; and
■ Gather feedback on a draft LTFP and gain Budget Committee and City Council approval of the final LTFP.
The LTFP development process was structured to support participation from a variety of stakeholders.
Staff shared information with and received input from Councilmembers and the public at Budget Committee and City Council meetings.

City of Pleasant Hill Long-Term Financial Plan Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Through 2028/2029 5 Forecast Methodology
Forecast Background
As noted above, City staff consulted numerous resources and followed public finance best practices when creating the LTFP. The methodology used to create the forecasts for the LTFP for FY 2024/2025 through FY 2028/2029 is similar as that used for the City’s previous LTFP.
FY 2023/2024 Base Year
Staff used the adopted FY 2023/2024 budget as the basis of the forecast. Staff assumed that future City service levels and revenue sources would remain at current levels. Staff then forecasted revenues and expenditures for succeeding years by applying assumptions about possible future changes in economic conditions that could impact revenues and expenditures.
Revenues and expenditures are impacted by both cyclical and irregular changes in the City’s economy and demography. Future revenues and expenditures can be estimated using a number of techniques including qualitative/judgmental analysis and quantitative analysis. City staff used both qualitative and quantitative analysis as part of this forecast, as described below. Much of the forecast draws on information provided by outside experts, particularly the forecast of future revenues, which is based on detailed analysis conducted by the City’s outside revenue consultant, the HdL Companies.
Three Economic Scenario Forecasts
Staff created revenue and expenditure forecasts for three different possible economic scenarios, moderate (which staff considers most likely), optimistic, and pessimistic. The main characteristics of the moderate, optimistic, and pessimistic scenarios are shown below.
Moderate
■ Continued increase in revenues, particularly sales and property tax ■ Moderate inflation, but greater-than-inflation increases in employee retirement and medical benefit costs
Optimistic
■ More significant revenue increases
■ Still moderate inflation, but greater-than-inflation increases in employee retirement and medical benefit costs
Pessimistic
■ Smaller increases in revenues
■ Higher inflation, and greater-than-inflation increases in employee retirement costs and medical benefit costs

Table 3 below summarizes the major assumptions of the moderate revenue scenario by source. Following that, Table 4 illustrates the five-year revenue forecast under the moderate scenario. These assumptions and the resulting revenue forecast are explained in detail in the narrative below.
Table 3. Moderate Scenario Revenue Assumptions
REVENUE SOURCE MODERATE/MOST LIKELY ASSUMPTION
Property Tax and
Property Tax In-Lieu
Property tax forecast is based on projections provided by the City’s property tax consultant HdL Coren & Cone. Revenues are forecasted to grow 3.59% - 4.6% annually.
Sales Tax
Sales tax forecast is based on projections provided by both the City’s sales tax consultant, HdL Companies and Economic Development Manager. The forecast includes a slight decrease in FY 2023/2024 with the closures of two large retailers during the previous fiscal year and some one-time corrections by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration. Sales tax is expected to recover based on the City’s spending patterns, inflation, and retailers filling those vacant locations. Revenues are forecasted to grow between 2.5% to 3.5% annually.
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)
2.0% annual increase in TOT generally. In FY 2018/2019, TOT revenue was $2.5 million (preCOVID) with the opening of Hilton Homewood Suites in July 2018. The projection in the previous LTFP was TOT revenue to be closer to $3.0 million. TOT dropped to $1.6 million in fiscal FY 2020/2021 due to COVID and has remained around $2.2 million the last couple of fiscal years.
This assumes a moderate recovery and assisted by the work done by the City’s Tourism Improvement District.
Business License Tax 3% annual increase.
Other Revenue 3% annual increase generally. Some amounts for FY 2023/2024 were updated based on actuals or current information.

City of Pleasant Hill Long-Term Financial Plan Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Through 2028/2029 10 Property Tax and Property Tax In-Lieu
Property Tax
Property tax revenues are forecasted to increase each year due to higher assessed valuations on residential properties that have changed ownership and some minimal amounts to recapture from the temporary reductions in assessed value during the last recession. Property tax revenues are generally a very stable revenue stream. HdL Coren & Cone, the City’s property tax consultant, is forecasting that property taxes will increase in the range of 3.6%-4.6% annually on average. The City isforecasting revenue will increase from $4.3 million in FY 2024/2025 to $5.1 million in FY 2028/2029.
Property Tax in Lieu of VLF
The motor vehicle license fee (VLF) is an annual tax on the ownership of registered vehicles collected by the State Department of Motor Vehicles and then distributed to cities and counties. In 2004, the State Legislature permanently reduced the VLF tax from 2% to 0.65% of a vehicle’s current market value. The reduction in VLF revenue to cities and counties was offset by an increased transfer of property tax from the State to cities and counties. This transfer is called the “Property Tax In Lieu of VLF.” This revenue stream movesin lock step with regular property tax revenue. The City isforecasting ongoing increases to this revenue such that it will increase from $4.7 million in FY 2024/2025 to $5.6 million in FY 2028/2029.
Sales Tax
Based on projections provided by HdL Companies and the City’s Economic Development Manager, baseline sales tax revenue is projected to increase at the average growth rate of 3.5% for FY 2024/2025 to
2.5% for the remaining fiscal years. The assumption is based on the City’s past historical spending patterns, adjusting for online sales after the Supreme Court’s South Dakota v. Wayfair Inc. decision, inflation, and assumption that the retail space in Downtown Pleasant Hill will be filled. Sales tax revenues are forecast to increase from $10.6 million in FY 2023/2024 to $10.9 million in FY 2024/2025.
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)
The City has six hotels (Hyatt House; Courtyard by Marriott; Residence Inn by Marriott; Extended Stay America; Sun Valley Inn; Pleasant Hill Inn; and Hilton Homewood Suites) and they collect and remit a 10% transient occupancy tax. TOT revenue still has not recovered to pre-COVID-19 levels. In FY 2018/2019, the City received $2.5 million in TOT revenue with the opening of Hilton Homewood Suites.
The TOT expectation was nearly $3.0 million annually in the previous LTFP. The pandemic reduced personal and business trips and revenue dropped to $1.6 million in FY 2019/2020. The has improved the last couple of fiscal years to around $2.2 million annually. TOT revenue has the capacity to grow at a faster rate, but staff is currently forecasting an annual growth of 2% annually. This revenue source should be assisted by the outreach and promotional work being done by the City’s Tourism Improvement District. The City Council authorized the establishment of the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) by Ordinance No. 139 which was adopted in 1965.
10.2.b
Packet Pg. 173
City of Pleasant Hill Long-Term Financial Plan Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Through 2028/2029 11 Franchise Fees
Franchise fees are rents paid by utilities or other businesses for the privilege of using the City’s right of ways (streets, alleys, sidewalks, etc.) to locate utility lines or operate vehicles. The City collects a franchise fee of 1% from Pacific Gas & Electric and 5% from cable operators (currently AT&T/Pacific Bell, Comcast and WAVE). The City also collects a 12% franchise fee from Republic Services. Franchise fee revenue has remained fairly constant during the past several years and is expected to increase 3.0% annually from $2.4 million in FY 2024/2025 to $2.7 million in FY 2028/2029.
Other Taxes and Assessments
Business License Tax
The City processed over several thousand business licenses over the past year. Revenue is expected to increase at approximately 3% annually, from $3.2 million in FY 2024/2025 to $3.6 million in FY 2028/2029. The City Council authorized the establishment of the Business License Tax by Ordinance No. 33 which was adopted in 1962.
Utility User’s Tax (UUT)
Utility user’s tax (UUT) is a 1% tax levied on telephone service. UUT revenue is expected to be level at $73,500. The City Council authorized the establishment of the Utility Users Tax (UUT) by Ordinance No. 524 which was adopted in 1983.
Property Transfer Tax
Property transfer tax is collected by the County on the sale of property at the rate of $0.275 per $500 of sales price and remitted to the City. Thisrevenue stream islevel at $268,300 annually. This revenue source has been impacted by changes in interest rates on homes and the slowdown of home sales in the City. The City Council authorized the establishment of the Property Transfer Tax by Ordinance No. 194 which was adopted in 1967.
Licenses and Permits
The licenses and permits category include revenues for building-related permits and fees. Revenue in this category has grown substantially in the past several years due to several major housing projects throughout the City. These projects are nearly complete and there is no current large development in the next budget cycle. Therefore, the revenues are reduced from $1.6 million in FY 2023/2024 to $1.3 million in FY 2023/2024 and then a 3% annual growth as home renovation projects continue throughout the City.

Packet Pg. 174
City of Pleasant Hill Long-Term Financial Plan Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Through 2028/2029 12 Use of Money and Property
The use of money and property category includes interest and dividend income on the City’s investment of fund balances, primarily General Fund working capital and reserves. Interest rates have risen recently as the United States Treasury dealt with inflation concerns. Therefore, the City isforecasting that rates of return on the City’s investments will increase as they have gone from nearly 0% to 4.0% in the Local Agency Investment Fund. Revenues in this category are forecasted to range from $540,000 to $670,000 during the term of the forecast.
Other Revenue
This category includes numerous smaller revenues that do not fit within the categories listed above. This revenue streamis expected to grow by a 3.0%average annually,from$594,000 in FY 2023/2024to $639,000 in FY 2028/2029. This amount includes $250,000 which represents unanticipated revenue and/or expenditure savings annually.
Charges for Service
Revenues from charges for services are mainly comprised of fee-based payments for services of the Planning Division and Engineering Division. Revenue in this category is forecasted to increase slightly, from $555,000 in FY 2024/2025 to $625,000 in FY 2028/2029.
Transfers from Other Funds
The transfer from other funds category primarily consists of a $20,000 transfer each year from the Supplemental Law Enforcement Services (SLESF) grant received by the Police Department, which is held in the Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund, to the General Fund. The secondary transfer is for $130,000 of reimbursable costs by the Landscape and Lighting District 20 and 22 into the General Fund.

City of Pleasant Hill Long-Term Financial Plan Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Through 2028/2029 19 Rate of Inflation
Based on historic trends and forecasts from a number of different sources, City staff has assumed a general rate of inflation of 3.0% per year for the moderate economic scenario.
Personnel — Salaries
Personnel costs account for the majority of General Fund expenditures. Salaries are forecasted to increase based on the average increase of the labor agreements with all bargaining groups at 3.25% in FY 2023/2024, 3.25% in FY 2024/2025 and 3.5% in FY 2025/2026. The remaining forecasted years assumed an increase of 3.25% for FY 2026/2027 – FY 2028/2029. The LTFP assumes that staffing levels (the number of City employees) will remain at the levels in the FY 2023/2024 budget. It also assumes that a portion of General Fund salaries will continue to be funded by Capital Improvement and other Special Revenue Funds and includes savings for vacancy and attrition. Please see Appendix for the table of authorized staffing counts.
Personnel – Retirement Benefits
The LTFP assumesthat employee retirement benefit costs will grow asstated in the most recent actuarial information provided by CalPERS. The City is expected to contribute $2.2 million in FY 2023/2024 and $2.5 million in FY 2028/2029 toward the City’s annual “normal cost”.Normal costrelatesto an employee’s years of service. In addition, the City is expected to contribute $3.9 million in FY 2023/2024 increasing to $6.1 million in FY 2028/29 toward its unfunded pension liability. CalPERS provided the City with projected employer contributions for the next several years in the June 30, 2022 actuarial valuation report. This information is summarized in Table 9.

This category also includes the funding for economic development projects and programsthat have been approved by the Economic Development Committee. In the past, all economic development projects and programs were funded solely by the Redevelopment Agency. Since the Agency’s elimination in 2012, they are now funded by the City’s General Fund.

City of Pleasant Hill Long-Term Financial Plan Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Through 2028/2029 22 Other — Insurance/Risk Management
The City is provided with insurance coverage through the Municipal Pooling Authority (MPA), a joint powers authority that is governed by a board of member municipalities. General liability (normal and excess coverage) has grown substantially over the last decade from $401,000 in FY 2013/14 to $1.0 million FY 2022/2023. The increase in the general liability premium has been driven from events beyond the City’s control. Insurance premiums have increased due to high settlement claims connected to public safety claims nationwide. Also, natural disasters from wildfires to floods have caused massive claims and insurance costs. These events have caused reinsurance costs to rise significantly since fewer carriers are willing to cover the losses, especially in California, since there is no tort reform. For purposes of the forecast, we are assuming these costs will increase by 3% annually based on recent premium estimate and average from $1.5 million in FY 2023/2024 to $1.7 million in FY 2028/2029. Worker’s compensation insurance is included in the Personnel- Medical and Other Miscellaneous Benefits category for the purpose of the LTFP. For purposes of the forecast, the assumption are these costs will increase by 3% annually on average from $673,000 in FY 2023/2024 to $792,000 in FY 2028/2029.
Other — Promotions and Contributions
This category includes funding of City Council grants for programs such as Meals on Wheels, Rogers Ranch, the Senior Nutrition Program at the Pleasant Hill Recreation and Park District, and other programs. The City is forecasting thatthese costs will average from $162,000 in FY 2023/2024 to $187,000 in FY 2028/2029.
Other — Fixed Assets
“Fixed assets” are long-lived assets that cannot easily be converted to cash, such as land, buildings, and equipment. The City uses this expenditure category to account for the purchase of furniture and equipment for the City’sfacilities. The expendituresin this category are expected to grow by 3% annually on average, from $29,000 in FY 2023/2024 to $34,000 in FY 2028/2029.
Other — Debt Service
This category covers expenditures for the payment of City debt. The City has one debt issue that is for the construction of the City Library, but this debt service is covered with Measure K funds which is discussed separately. The only current expense is a fiscal agent fee of approximately $2,000 annually.

Revenues and Expenditures
The tables below illustrate the surplus/deficit and ending fund balance that the City would experience over the next five and maintain current service levels, experience a moderate economic scenario, and not take any steps to rebalance its budget.
Five-Year Forecast
As seen in Table 10 below, if the City were to experience a moderate economic scenario, the City would need to balance the budget by using fund balance. Most revenues are projected to grow at the rate of inflation, however key expenditures including medical and pension unfunded liability are expected to grow faster. The fund balance is projected to decline from $12.6 million in FY 2023/2024 to -$2.4 million during FY 2028/2029.

City of Pleasant Hill Long-Term Financial Plan Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Through 2028/2029 33 Revenue and Expenditure Balancing Options
As described above, the City is forecasting a declining General Fund balance budget over the five- and ten-year planning period if it experiences moderate economic conditions and funds current service levels. Should the City find itself in a position needing to adjust revenues and/or expenditures to maintain a balanced budget in the future, below are some options for consideration.
Revenue
Continue to Aggressively Seek Regional, State, and Federal Funding The City has been very successful in obtaining regional, State, and federal funding for capital projects, particularly related to transportation. The City should continue to seek additional funding from these sources and consider opportunities to be more aggressive in pursuing new funding types.
Update Fees and Cost Allocation to Special Revenue Funds The General Fund comprises the majority of the City’s total budget. The City nonetheless has significant non-General Fund accounts, particularly those related to regional, State, and federal funding for capital projects. It is now an appropriate time forthe City to conduct a thorough costrecovery analysisrelated to fees and a cost allocation plan related to overhead expenses and special revenue funds. Such an analysis and plan would likely indicate that the City’sfees could be increased to more fully recover the City’s costs to provide targeted services and that a larger portion of certain City costs that are currently paid for out of the General Fund could more appropriately be paid by special revenue funds.
Revenue Enhancements
The City could consider additional revenue enhancements such as a parcel tax, property transfer tax, or sales tax in the short to medium term to provide services at current levels. Any possible tax increase would require additional steps and placed on the ballot for voters to decide.
Expenditure
The City has historically demonstrated prudent cost containment in its operations. Should the City be in a position of needing to reduce expenditures in the future, a number of options are available, some of which are described below.
Insource and Outsource Opportunities
The City has periodically analyzed whether costs or quality could be improved by insourcing or outsourcing different operations. City staff believes that the current insourcing and outsourcing arrangements provide the best combination of value and quality and will continue to evaluate new opportunities that arise.
10.2.b
Packet Pg. 196
City of Pleasant Hill Long-Term Financial Plan Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Through 2028/2029 34 Modify Service Levels
The City’s current service levels have been set by the City Council based on community priorities and expectations and available resources. The City Council continuously monitors community priorities and embodies them in the City Council goals and the biennial budget. The City Council could, in response to changes in priorities or available resources, modify City service levels, which could result in reduced expenditures.
Increase Cost Sharing for Employee Benefits
The salaries and benefits of City employees represent approximately 63% of the City’s General Fund budget (not including CalPERS Unfunded Actuarial Liability payments). The City’s General Fund contribution in the FY 2023/2024 budget toward employee benefits is $6.1 million which is 19% of total General Fund expenditures, respectively. The City did recently reach agreements with all of the bargaining groups through FY 2025/2026. The City can negotiate for increased employee contributions toward retirement and medical benefits or reduced medical benefits through employee labor agreement negotiations. City employees have paid an increasing amount for their retirement and medical benefits over time, and the benefits have also been reduced over time. Nonetheless, given the significant amount that the City continues to contribute for these benefits, increasing employee contributions to retirement and medical benefits is an option to explore for future expenditure reductions if necessary.

City of Pleasant Hill Long-Term Financial Plan Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Through 2028/2029 35 Measure K Fund Forecast
Measure K, a half-cent transactions & use tax (or sales tax), was approved by Pleasant Hill voters at the November 8, 2016 election. The tax took effect April 1, 2017 for a 20-year period. The measure will generate over $4 million each year in additional revenue for the City.
This additional revenue will be used for important City services including:
• Repaving and maintaining neighborhood streets
• Maintaining and upgrading the City’s storm drains
• Adding new sidewalks, and walking and bike paths
• Constructing a new community library; and
• Funding other city projects and services that Pleasant Hill residents and the City Council identify as key priorities.

City of Pleasant Hill Long-Term Financial Plan Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Through 2028/2029 37 City Assets and Liabilities
The LTFP focuses primarily on the City’s budget, which presents its projected annual income (revenue) and expenses (expenditures) for a set period of time. The LTFP also considers long-term assets and liabilities if the assets yield income or the liabilities become due during the forecast period.
Over the five- and ten-year planning horizon of the LTFP, the City expects that the value of its assets will increase significantly,specifically the value of its capital assets, primarily due to improvementsfunded by Measure K (including the new library building) and SB 1 (local road improvements).
As of FY 2023/2024, the City’s only debt is the for the construction of the new library for $26.4 million but funded by Measure K. The City also does not have any “other post-employment benefit” (OPEB) liability because it does not provide a retiree medical benefit to employees.
The City does have one significant unfunded liability, an employee pension benefit liability with CalPERS.
The City has taken steps to reduce its unfunded pension liability, but demographic changes and new policies at CalPERS intended to strengthen the financial position of the system are driving pension liability and required City contributions higher, and the City expects that trend to continue over the coming decade. Although the City will eventually pay off its unfunded pension liability by continuing to make required annual contributions to CalPERS, this liability is the City’s largest, and requires continuous monitoring and funding opportunities (i.e. Section 115 Pension Trust).
One way to evaluate the overall financial strength of the City, including consideration of assets and liabilities, is to look at the City’s bond rating. A bond rating assesses an organization’s ability to repay debt and is also used as a broad indicator of an organization’s financial health. The City’s Pleasant Hill Joint Powers Financing Authority debt received an AA rating from Standard & Poor’s, which means the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitments is very strong. The City expects to retain a strong rating in the future based on the findings of the LTFP.
The City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), which is published following the end of each fiscal year and can be found on the City’s website, contains a thorough discussion of the City’s short- and long-term assets and liabilities.

City of Pleasant Hill Long-Term Financial Plan Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Through 2028/2029 39 Summary and Next Steps
The City has been on solid budgetary footing, but unfunded pension liability is outpacing revenue growth. Based on the LTFP assumptions, it is unlikely that the City will be able to provide the current service levels without revenue enhancements and/or modification of service. Measure K discussed above has assisted the City fund the construction of the library, infrastructure repair and replacement, and facility improvements but not ongoing operational service needs. The LTFP will be used as a guide when making operational and financial decisions. City staff intendsto update the LTFP next year with the adoption of the City’s Biennial Budget and on a periodic basis going forward.
The following table shows the summary revenue and expenditures from the Executive Summary to illustrate the costs of the unfunded pension costs.
